This agreement is designed with you in mind, as well as to protect TuneReel and our customers.
Affiliate Registration
To register as an affiliate you will need to have an active TuneReel account.
We review and moderate all affiliate registrations, and we appreciate your accurate and honest information. Please note that the review process may take a few days.
If you’re approved you’ll be given a unique referral ID that you can use to promote TuneReel via referral links. Check out your private Affiliate Area for referrals information.
Commissions and payouts
You’ll earn commission when a customer purchases a track/subscription from TuneReel using your referral link.
We pay out affiliate commissions in USD via PayPal in the first week of every month. We pay commissions that are older than 30 days.
The minimum payout balance is $50.00, so if you haven’t reached that amount at the end of the month, it rolls over. There’s no maximum payout balance.
In order to receive a payout for your referrals, you must have a PayPal account.
We do not allow referrals to be generated on your own purchases (this includes using a different email address).
Referral cookie lifetime
When a potential customer clicks on your referral link, a cookie is stored in their browser to track your referral. The cookie is then stored for a generous 30 days to give your referred customers time to decide if they wish to purchase TuneReel, or ask us any pre-sale questions they may have.
A referral won’t be awarded if:
The customer uses a different browser to purchase than the one they originally used to visit our site (because the cookie does not exist in that browser)
The customer purchases after 30 days (because the cookie will expire).
Refunded purchases
Referrals older than 30 days and in good standing will be included with each commission payout (if the commission balance totals $50.00 or over). Though we do not offer refunds, should a refund occur, a commission won’t be paid out for that referral.
We reserve the right to reject affiliate commissions for any reason. Commission rejections may occur for the following reasons:
The sale that the referral was based on was refunded
The method by which the referral was generated was in violation of our promotional policies (see below) or violated the spirit of the Affiliate Agreement.
Affiliate news and updates
By becoming an affiliate you agree to receive emails from TuneReel. These emails will be sent to affiliates only, on an ad-hoc basis, and may include important information regarding the TuneReel affiliate program. These emails will also provide you with relevant news and updates to help you effectively promote TuneReel. As an affiliate you may be privy to time-sensitive information in these emails that should not be revealed (this information may only be promoted after an embargo is lifted).
Affiliate application rejection
We reserve the right to reject affiliate applications for any reason. We also reserve the right to choose whether we provide an explanation or reasoning for affiliate application rejection. Below are just a few reasons why an application may be rejected (this is not an exhaustive list):
Inappropriate websites:
The following types of sites are not permitted to become an affiliate: adult sites, sites that display adult material or banners, sites that promote violence, hatred or bigotry, sites that promote or engage in illegal activity, including (but not limited to), hacking, cracking, nulled, and warez sites. Affiliate applications for inappropriate websites will be rejected, and we reserve the right to choose whether or not to provide a rejection reason.
Questions regarding your application
When you apply to become an affiliate we may email you at the email address you have supplied with some questions regarding your application or because we’d like to learn a bit more about how you will promote TuneReel and need more detail.
If we reach out to you and we haven’t heard back within 7 days, your application may be rejected. If your initial application is rejected, you are welcome to reapply to become an affiliate and provide us with more detail for reconsideration.
Dormant affiliate accounts
We encourage all of our affiliates to actively promote TuneReel to keep earning referrals. An affiliate account is considered dormant if no visits have been generated after a 6-month period. A dormant affiliate account will be temporarily deactivated if no visits have been generated after 6 months.
TuneReel Affiliate Program Policies
Allowed promotional methods
How you promote TuneReel is reflected in the commission you earn! We encourage the use of promotional methods that add value to TuneReel and bring us legitimate, loyal customers. We love it when our team of affiliates blog about music for video and mention TuneReel.
Here are a few examples of promotional methods to earn more commission:
Tell clients, customers or friends about TuneReel, and give them your affiliate referral link, write a review or a blog post about affiliate marketing or TuneReel and link to our site with your referral link.
Reach out to a broad audience with your social network accounts. Tweet about us on Twitter with your affiliate referral link, post about us on Facebook with your affiliate link, or communicate to your Linkedin followers about affiliate marketing with your affiliate link. Spam-free promotion is a great way to get more referrals!
Provide value to others by answering related questions on other sites with helpful responses, and using your referral link in your replies.
Prohibited promotional methods
We love and back our platform 100%, and we are very careful with how it’s promoted, so we want affiliates who are 100% behind us too!
The prohibited promotional methods listed below are here to protect you, us, and our customers from any freaky or fraudulent activity, which is something we take pretty seriously. We know you’ll understand. But here they are in writing just in case you’re not totally sure what is and what isn’t allowed.
TuneReel may not be promoted on coupon sites
Customers who are searching for a coupon are already in the market for TuneReel, so this method adds no value to TuneReel.
Paid advertising using your affiliate link is prohibited
Buying ads through services like Google AdWords, social ads, or retargeting ads using our brand keywords and your affiliate link will result in affiliate account deactivation.
Promoting incorrect or misleading information
Any promotional activity that shares incorrect or misleading information will result in affiliate account deactivation. This includes false information intended to click-bait potential customers. If you are unsure of the correct information or details for promoting TuneReel, please contact us.
Any type of spam is prohibited
Links, ads, emails, comments – any type of spam. Please respect the posting rules of any 3rd-party websites you use to promote TuneReel. P.S. This is not an exhaustive list of spam methods; if we decide that your activity is spam, it’s spam.
Any illegal activity or activity deemed offensive by us is prohibited
This may result in referrals being rejected and/or your affiliate account being deactivated. See above for allowed and super cool promotional methods!
We’re flattered, but please don’t pretend to be professionally associated with TuneReel
Affiliates aren’t employees of TuneReel or Sandhills Development and have no employee rights.
Pretending to actually be TuneReel is prohibited
Cloning our site, copying our site, using our copyrighted site assets, and pretending that a site created by you is an official TuneReel site is unethical and prohibited (this includes using services that automatically clone websites, or place them into iframes).
Again, false promotion to customers that you are endorsed or operated by TuneReel is prohibited.
If you’re unsure or concerned that some activity you’re about to proceed with may be considered prohibited, please ask us.
Consequences of prohibited promotional methods
If your promotional methods step outside of these terms, your referrals may be rejected and we may disable your affiliate account. We reserve the right to do this and may or may not notify you in the instance that this occurs. Please use allowed promotional methods, and help us to help you succeed as an affiliate!
Inappropriate websites
The following types of sites are not permitted to become an affiliate: adult sites, sites that display adult material or banners, sites that promote violence, hatred or bigotry, sites that promote or engage in illegal activity, including (but not limited to), hacking, cracking, nulled, and warez sites. Affiliate applications for inappropriate websites will be rejected, and we reserve the right to choose whether or not to provide a rejection reason.
The important stuff
By accepting these terms and conditions you are providing your nonlegal agreement to abide by them. By registering and being approved as an affiliate in our affiliate program you agree that your commissions are subject to approval before they are accepted and subsequently paid.
The affiliate relationship does not represent a professional or formal agreement, and as an affiliate you are not an employee of TuneReel LLC. You agree that this is not a legally binding relationship and as a result may not take legal action against TuneReel LLC. These affiliate terms and conditions are subject to change without notice.
Thanks for taking the time to read through these T’s and C’s and for agreeing to them. We look forward to having you on board!
