Display URL Examples: http://www.yourdomain.com/projjex You may not bid on keywords, terms or phrases that violate or infringe on a copyrighted or trademarked property. Many merchants are restricting the use of their copyrighted/trademarked properties in Paid Search Networks and Paid Inclusion Search Engines, thus we must respect their rights and ask that you refrain from using any and all trademarked terms where the merchant has specifically forbid the use of their copyrighted/trademarked properties names and phrases in the ads' text and keyword/phrase bidding.

You may create gateway pages and sales pages, but the content must be approved in advance by the Affiliate Manager. Failure to provide us with the URL of all sites/pages that are being used to promote Projjex.com, prior to their being made public through the Internet, will be grounds for suspension from the program and possibly forfeiture of all commissions. Where the Paid Search Network or Paid Inclusion Search Engine provide a field for you to identify your link as a sponsored listing (i.e. Google Adwords), you must complete that field and identify yourself as a reseller/affiliate. You then do not have to add the text listed above in the text of your advertisement’s body text or headline. Failure to follow this guideline will be grounds for suspension from the program and possibly forfeiture of all commissions.
