Affiliate Registration

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 – we know you are eager to join our team of affiliates, and we appreciate your patience!

If you’re approved, awesome! You’ll be given a unique referral ID that you can use to promote Rayn via referral links. Check out your private Affiliate Area for general information, logos and graphic design guidance, information on your referral activity and more!

Commissions and payouts

You’ll earn a sweet 10% commission when a customer purchases a Rayn product using your referral link.

We payout affiliate commissions in USD directly to your bank account or debit card in the first week of every month. We pay commissions by the 15th of the following month (e.g., commissions for the month of September would be paid by October 15). We’d like you to receive a decent chunk of cash when payouts come around, so there’s no maximum payout balance — go nuts!

In order to receive a payout for your referrals, you must register your bank account or debit card with our payout service.

We do not allow referrals to be generated on your own purchases. We do not offer recurring referrals.

Here are the details of our program in summary:

• To register as an affiliate you must have an active and approved Rayn account
• You’ll receive 10% commission for every new sale you refer
• No maximum payout (we pay in USD)
• Commissions from the current month will be paid by the 15th of the following month
• Referrals are paid out to your bank account or debit card
• Referrals cannot 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 Rayn, or ask us any pre-sale questions they may have.

A referral won’t be awarded if:

1. 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)
2. The customer purchases after 30 days (because the cookie will expire).

Direct Link Tracking

We use our own Direct Link Tracking, so you can skip the referral link (e.g. ?ref=123 or /ref/123) when you link to our site from your https:// website. You can submit a direct link to your own website in the Settings tab of your Affiliate Area. We’ll review your direct link submission, and when it’s approved you’ll no longer need to use a referral link when linking to Rayndeodorant.com directly from your site! Awesome!

Note: Direct Link Tracking is only available if your site has an SSL certificate, and therefore the https:// protocol. We will only approve websites that are 100% owned by you.

Refunded purchases

Referrals from the prior month which are in good standing (i.e., the purchase has not been refunded) will be included with each commission payout. If a purchase is refunded, 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:

1. The sale that the referral was based on was refunded
2. 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 Rayn. These emails will be sent to affiliates only, on an ad-hoc basis, and may include important information regarding the Rayn affiliate program. These emails will also provide you with relevant news and updates to help you effectively promote Rayn. As an affiliate you may be privy to time-sensitive information in these emails. And we won’t spam you, ever – promise!

Affiliate application rejection

We reserve the right to reject affiliate applications for any reason. While we will aim to provide an adequate and complete response on such matters, we will not have the time for a back-and-forth dialogue on the topic. Rayn will always have the final verdict on rejection disputes. Below are just a few reasons why an application may be rejected (this is not an exhaustive list):

• Affiliate applications for websites that sell, advertise or engage in pornography, phishing scams, spamming, illegal business practices, or that include any material infringing on National or International Copyright laws will be rejected.
• Affiliate applications for websites that we do not believe are aligned with our industry or business may be rejected.
• If you apply to become an affiliate and you have not purchased/tried our product, your application may be rejected.
• Affiliate applicants with websites that re-sell any of our products will be rejected.
• Websites considered inappropriate by Rayn will be rejected.

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 and other questionable 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. This may be because:

• We didn’t understand something in your application; or,
• We’d like to learn a bit more about how you will promote Rayn and need a little 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

Please don’t leave us! We encourage all of our affiliates to actively promote Rayn to keep earning referrals. If we can help you come up with ideas on how to promote Rayn, please let us know – we’re here for you! An affiliate account is considered dormant if no visits have been generated after a 6-month period. At that time, the dormant affiliate account will be temporarily deactivated. But we don’t even want to go there right now, right?! Let’s work together to help you start earning some cash!

Rayn Affiliate Program Policies

Allowed and super cool promotional methods

How you promote Rayn is reflected in the commission you earn! We encourage the use of promotional methods that add value to Rayn and bring us legitimate, loyal customers. We love it when our team of affiliates blog about affiliate marketing and mention Rayn.

Here are a few examples of awesome promotional methods to earn more commission:

• Tell clients, customers or friends about Rayn, and give them your affiliate referral link
• Write a review or a blog post about affiliate marketing or Rayn 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, post about us on Facebook/Instagram, 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 and super uncool promotional methods

We love and back our product 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 aren’t meant to scare you off – they’re here to protect you, and 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.

• Rayn may not be promoted on coupon sites
  Customers who are searching for a coupon are already in the market for Rayn, so this method adds no value to Rayn.
• Paid advertising using your affiliate link is prohibited
  Buying ads through services like Google AdWords, social ads, or retargeting ads and using our brand keywords and your affiliate link will result in affiliate account deactivation.

• 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 Rayn. 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 Rayn
  Affiliates aren’t employees of Rayn or Rayn Deodorant LLC and have no employee rights.
• Pretending to actually be Rayn is prohibited
  Cloning our site, copying our site, using our copyrighted site assets, and pretending that a site created by you is an official Rayn 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 Rayn is prohibited (and super uncool).

If you’re unsure or concerned that some activity you’re about to proceed with may be considered prohibited, please ask us!

Consequences of not-cool 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 and other questionable sites. Affiliate applications for inappropriate websites will be rejected, and we reserve the right to choose whether or not to provide a rejection reason.

By accepting these terms and conditions, you are providing your non-legal 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 Rayn. You agree that this is not a legally binding relationship and as a result may not take legal action against Rayn Deodorant 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 can’t wait to have you on board!
