misspellings thereof for search or content based campaigns on Google,

redirects that yield the same result. Affiliate links must be directed
to an actual page on your website.

position 1-5 in any auction style pay-per-click advertising program If you automate your PPC campaigns, it is your responsibility to exclude our trademarked terms from your program and we strongly suggest you add our trademarked terms as negative keywords. We have a strict no tolerance policy on PPC trademark bidding. You will forfeit all commissions for a minimum of the past 30 days and your commission will be set to 0% without warning if you engage in PPC trademark bidding that uses our trademarked terms.

COUPON GUIDELINES

If you are enrolled in our Program and your Website promotes coupon codes, you must adhere to our Coupon Guidelines as follows:

1. You may ONLY advertise coupon codes that are provided to you through the affiliate program.

2. Posting any information about how to work around the requirements of a
coupon/promotion (ie first time customers only) will result in removal
from the program.

3. Coupons must be displayed in their entirety with the full offer, valid expiration date and code.

4. You may not use any technology that covers up the coupon code and generates the affiliate click by revealing the code(s).

5. You may not advertise coupon codes obtained from our non-affiliate
advertising, customer e-mails, paid search, or any other campaign.

6. You may not give the appearance that any ongoing offer requires
clicking from your website in order to redeem. For example, if all items
on the site have free shipping, you may not turn this into an
offer that infers that the customer must click from your site to get
this deal. Additionally, if your website ranks on the first page of
Google for terms related to our website or company name(s) combined with
the words coupon, coupons, coupon code, promo code, etc., you may be offered a lower commission than
our standard rate to offset the reduced profitability of orders.

COUPON ATTRIBUTION & AUTHENTICATION

Affiliates whose primary business is posting coupons, who are viewed by the
program as being a coupon site and/or who are tagged as coupon sites in
our system, may not be paid commissions on transactions that utilize
non-authorized coupon codes. Valid codes are defined as codes that are
made available to the affiliate channel in general, through newsletters
or the Deals Database in Refersion or directly from SmartThingz,
short term, site-wide offers or given to specific affiliates
directly/privately.

Coupon codes that are not real, expired, not specific (i.e. up to 40% off) or are long term sitewide offers that do
not require a code are not considered valid codes and the affiliate may
not be given commissions on these orders. All valid transactions without
a coupon code used are considered commissionable.

REVERSAL & COMMUNICATION POLICY
SmartThingz takes pride in its very low reversal rate, which we attribute to open
communication with our affiliates. However, we reserve the right to
reverse orders due to order cancellations, duplicate tracking, returns,
disputed charges, and program violations as outlined in these terms and
conditions. Additionally, if we ask you for clarification or more
information on any orders or clicks that we suspect may be in violation
of our terms and conditions, we expect that you will respond in a timely
and honest manner.

Below are violations of our communications policy:

1. You are not forthcoming, intentionally vague or are found to be lying.

2. You are not responsive within a reasonable time period and after
multiple attempts to contact with information listed in your network
profile.

3. You cannot substantiate or validate the source of
your traffic to our program with clear and demonstrable proof. If any of
the above apply, then we reserve the absolute right to reverse orders,
set your commission to 0% or suspend you from the program for the period
or orders in question. We know that many violations are a result of
automated processes; however it is incumbent upon each affiliate to
ensure that it has the appropriate checks and balances in place to
pro-actively address these issues and adhere to our program rules.
