PROTECTIONS & RELATIONSHIP
Exclusivity and Non-Compete Agreement:
In order to safeguard the unique positioning and success of our brand, all participants in our programs must adhere to strict guidelines regarding competition and business ethics.
Restrictions on Similar Offerings:
By enrolling in any of our programs, clients are bound by the agreement not to introduce any product or service that closely resembles or competes with the offerings of our bundle brand for a minimum duration of one year post their involvement under this Agreement.
Criteria for Prohibited Offerings:
Any offering that has the potential to divert sales or undermine the market position of our brand will be considered a violation of this agreement. Additionally, products or services that are deemed to be in poor taste or developed with malicious intent, as determined solely by our company, are strictly prohibited.
Illustrative Scenario:
For clarity, any attempt by a client to replicate the essence, customers, or content of our brand with the intention of replicating its success will be interpreted as an act of bad faith and will result in immediate termination of their participation in our programs.
Right to Deny Access:
We reserve the right to deny or revoke access to our programs at any time if we suspect or determine that a client's actions are in direct violation of these terms. This ensures that we can maintain the integrity, uniqueness, and success of our brand in the market.
Submissions and Product Distribution
By submitting a product to one of our opportunities, you understand that, if chosen, you are giving us the right to offer it within the respective Collection that you submitted as a bundled product and as an individual. Products will only be sold/offered during the sale window. We will serve this product behind a secure portal.
Once a product is submitted, and chosen, it cannot be removed from the Collection to which you submitted it. If a circumstance arises that you feel it must be, a retraction can be requested. Retractions are taken on a case-by-case basis and are at the discretion of the Homeschool Resource Co. Team.
Homeschool Resource Co. will distribute all product(s) that are accepted into the sale. However, the product remains your own intellectual property. All customers have access to their downloads via a secure platform.
You must provide Homeschool Resource Co. with your full product, but this agreement does not make it exclusive. It still remains yours and you may choose to continue selling it in your shop or in third-party shops if you so desire.
*The Collection is sold as a bundle but each product will also be offered as an individual sale, effectively discounted. The more they want to buy, the better the Collection deal is. However, your options for earning commissions skyrocket with this method.
Contributors will receive the CSV of emails for their individual product sales only.
Collections and individual products are only offered on our website during the sale period and will not be sold afterward. However, Collections no longer expire. Once a customer makes a purchase, they will still have access to the resources. This allows you to continue to grow your audience as customers come back to your resources. This also builds trust with our audience because their purchases remain in their accounts.
Memberships and courses are required to have non-expiry coupon codes.*
Promotions
Homeschool Resource Co. reserves the right to offer promotional copies of any Collection for the purpose of promoting any Collection Sale. All accepted contributors will receive a complimentary copy of the Collection that they have a product inside.
Homeschool Resource Co. may offer coupon codes, discounts, and other exclusive deals with partners.
Marketing
You will be provided with marketing material including, but not limited to, banners and images in a variety of styles and sizes, and swipe copy for social media, email, and blog posts.
You may create your own promotional graphics, but they must be high quality and we receive the right to ask you to discontinue using them if we do not feel that they meet Homeschool Resource Co. standards.
You are responsible for following all FTC mandates regarding the disclosure of affiliate links.
You ARE allowed to offer incentives to customers that purchase through your unique affiliate link but Homeschool Resource Co. will not be able to confirm if a customer purchased through your link.
You must keep all sale information, including products, pricing, and presale promotions confidential until you are given the go-ahead to share.
We do ask that you send at least one email to your subscribers and promote at least 3 times on your farthest-reaching social media platform (excluding Pinterest) during the current sale that you are participating in. However, this is not a requirement and you acknowledge and understand that there is a direct relationship between your marketing efforts and the amount of commission you can earn.
