Affiliate Terms of Use

Welcome, brave marketer 💼

We’re thrilled you’re here — or at least curious. By joining the Florida Document Specialists Affiliate Program, you agree to play by a few ground rules. Nothing scary, just the stuff that keeps everyone honest and our good name intact.

If you’d rather skip reading the fine print, don’t. We wrote it in English for a reason.


1. Approval (or the heartbreak of rejection 💔)

We look at every application with hopeful eyes. But sometimes, an application just doesn’t fit — maybe it’s off-brand, maybe it’s sketchy, maybe it’s a cat with a keyboard.

We reserve the right to approve or reject any application at our sole discretion. If we decline you, please don’t take it personally. We’re picky because we’ve worked too hard to build a trustworthy brand to risk it on nonsense.


2. Commissions (the good part 💰)

You earn a commission when someone you refer places and pays for an order. Once their payment clears and we’ve confirmed no refunds or chargebacks, you get paid — usually on Fridays, because Fridays are happier with deposits.

A few realities:

  • You can’t refer yourself. We catch that faster than you can say “nice try.”

  • Only paid, completed orders count. Cancelled or refunded ones don’t.

  • We hold commissions for a short review period to make sure all’s legit.

We like paying people who help us. We just don’t like paying for ghost orders. 👻


3. Cookies (the digital kind 🍪)

When someone clicks your link or scans your QR code, a 30-day cookie drops in their browser. If they buy within that time, you get credit.

We use secure tracking through our AffiliateWP platform, but we can’t outsmart privacy extensions, ad-blockers, or the cousin who clears cookies hourly “for security.” If that happens, sorry — no way for us to know.


4. Things That Get You Kicked Out 🚫

We hate doing this part, but here’s what will get your account suspended or terminated faster than you can refresh your dashboard:

  • False claims or shady links

  • Spamming anyone, anywhere

  • Promoting anything illegal, unethical, or embarrassing

  • Failing to disclose your affiliate relationship (FTC rules aren’t optional)

  • Using our name or logo without permission

  • Promising people rebates or “cash back” from your commission

  • Self-referrals, fake orders, or affiliate fraud

We reserve the right to terminate any account at any time — for cause or no cause. If we do, we might still pay you for valid, cleared commissions. Or not. Depends on how the breakup goes. 💔


5. Using Our Brand Responsibly ✍️

You can share your affiliate link pretty much anywhere decent humans hang out — your website, email, social posts, newsletters, carrier pigeons.

Just don’t use “Florida Document Specialists” in your domain name, paid search ad, or social handle without written permission. Also, don’t design materials that look like we made them if we didn’t. That’s weird.


6. Coupons and “Deals” 🎟️

We sometimes issue coupons to specific affiliates or subscribers. If you weren’t given one, you can’t make one up.

Do not:

  • Use misleading text like “Click here for exclusive coupon!” when no coupon exists.

  • Bid on terms like “Florida Document Specialists coupons.”

  • Trigger affiliate cookies with hidden pop-ups or iframes.

If we catch any of that, you’re out. No refunds, no tears. 😢


7. PPC Ads 🔍

Pay-per-click ads are off-limits unless you’ve got our written blessing. It’s not that we don’t trust you — we just don’t want to compete with ourselves for our own name.


8. Liability (aka “Don’t Sue Us Because the Internet Broke” 🧯)

We can’t promise the tracking system will never hiccup, crash, or get cranky. We’re not liable for lost commissions, database meltdowns, or anything beyond our reasonable control.

We make no warranties, implied or otherwise, about this program or the operation of our site. (We also make no warranties about your cat walking across your keyboard mid-sale.) 🐾


9. Changes and Term ⏳

This Agreement starts when you’re approved and ends when your account is closed — by you or by us.

We might update these terms now and then. If you keep using the program after changes go live, that means you agree to the new terms. If not, you can bow out gracefully. No hard feelings.


10. Indemnification (the grown-up part 🧠)

You agree not to get us dragged into drama of your making. If your marketing causes trouble — legal, financial, or otherwise — you agree to cover it.

In short: act with integrity, disclose your affiliations, and don’t make us wish we’d stayed in bed that morning. ☕


11. Electronic Signatures ✍️

By completing the affiliate application, you create an electronic signature saying, “Yes, I read this and I agree.” Your timestamp is saved in our system and counts exactly like a handwritten signature, minus the paper cuts.


12. Governing Law ⚖️

This agreement lives under the warm sun of Volusia County, Florida. Any disputes will be handled there, where we drink our coffee strong and take contracts seriously.

Closing Note 💡

We believe affiliate partnerships should feel like teamwork, not fine print. If you play fair, promote honestly, and respect the brand, we’ll get along beautifully. Break the rules, and… well, let’s just say we die a little inside.


Thank You 🙏
