- ENROLLMENT
In order to enroll in the Affiliate Program, Affiliate must complete an application. Applicant
represents and warrants that, as of the date the application is submitted, all information
provided to the Company is current and accurate. Applications will be reviewed by the Company
and Company reserves the right to deny entrance into its Affiliate Program to any applicant that
is deemed unqualified for any reason, at Company’s sole and absolute discretion.
To begin the enrollment process, Applicant will complete and submit an application to the
Affiliate Program, located at https://ahnafulmer.com/referral-program/.
Company may approve or reject Applicant’s application at its sole discretion. Company may
cancel Applicant’s application if Company determines that it is unsuitable for the Affiliate
Program, including, but not limited to, if your website or social media channels:
- Promote sexually explicit materials;
- Promote violence
- Promote discrimination based on race, sex, religion, nationality, disability, sexual
orientation, or age; - Promote illegal activities;
- Incorporate any materials which infringe or assist others to infringe on any copyright,
trademark or other intellectual property rights or to violate the law; - Include “Fulmer” or “Early Morning Habit” or variations or misspellings thereof in its
domain name; - Are otherwise in any way unlawful, harmful, threatening, defamatory, obscene,
harassing, or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable to us in our sole discretion; - Contain software downloads that potentially enable diversions of commission from other
affiliates in our program; and - Fail to abide by FTC rules related to disclosure.
- TERM
The term of this Agreement shall be exactly 1 year from the date of signing. At the end of the
term, this Agreement will automatically renew for an additional 1-year term unless terminated by
either party in accordance with Paragraph 3. - TERMINATION
Company or Affiliate may terminate this Agreement for any reason by providing 7 days written
notice to the other party; the date this notice is sent will be the “Termination Date”. Failure to
comply with the terms of this Agreement will result in immediate termination of this Agreement
by the Company and forfeiture by Affiliate of any accrued, unpaid commissions. Company shall
pay any pending commissions owed to Affiliate through the Termination Date, if a termination of
this Agreement occurs for any reason other than a violation of this Agreement on the part of the
Affiliate. Upon termination by either party, Affiliate’s limited license to use the intellectual
property of Company for the purpose of promoting the products and/or services offered through
the Affiliate Program, will cease as of the Termination Date. - PROMOTIONAL MATERIALS
Upon acceptance of Affiliate’s application, Company will grant access to Affiliate to the
Referral Program (“Referral Program”). Within the Referral Program, Company
shall make available to Affiliate certain promotional graphics, button links, or text material for
use on the Affiliate social media and website (the “Promotional Materials”). Affiliate shall display
the Promotional Materials on Affiliate’s website prominently and as Affiliate sees fit, provided
that the manner of display shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
Affiliate shall also include a link from the Promotional Materials to Company’s website, as
specified by the Company. - AFFILIATE CONTENT
Affiliate is permitted to create materials to promote the Affiliate Programs and Company’s
products (“Affiliate Content”). This may include graphics, video or text materials. All Affiliate
Content must abide by the Early Morning Habit Brand Integrity and Style Guidelines. At
any time, if Affiliate is uncertain of whether Affiliate Content is compliant with Brand Integrity and
Style Guidelines, Affiliate may email info@earlymorninghabit.com. If, at any time,
Company, in its sole discretion, determines that Affiliate Content is not compliant with Brand
Integrity and Style Guidelines, or is inappropriate in any way, Affiliate agrees that Affiliate will
remove such content as soon as possible. All requests for removal of Affiliate Content will be
directed to Affiliate at the email address used during the registration. - USE OF PROMOTIONAL MATERIALS
The Affiliate’s use and display of the Promotional Materials on the Affiliate’s website shall
conform to the following terms, conditions and specifications:
- Affiliate may only use the Promotional Materials for the purpose of promoting Company’s
website (and the products and services available thereon), and for linking to Company’s
website. - Affiliate will not alter, add to, subtract from, or otherwise modify the Promotional
Materials provided by Company. If Affiliate wishes to alter or otherwise modify the Promotional
Materials, Affiliate must obtain prior written consent from the Company for such alteration or
modification. Such requests may be directed to info@earlymorninghabit.com. - The Promotional Materials will be used to link only to Company’s website, to the specific
web site page specified by Company.
- PROMOTION RESTRICTIONS
Affiliate is free to promote Affiliate’s own websites and social media channels, but any
promotion that mentions Company could be perceived by the public or the press as a joint effort.
Affiliate should know that certain forms of advertising are always prohibited by Company. For
example, advertising commonly referred to as “spamming” is unacceptable to Company and
could cause damage to Company’s name and reputation. Other generally prohibited forms of
advertising include the use of unsolicited commercial email (UCE), postings to non-commercial
channels and cross-posting to multiple channels at once.
In addition, Affiliate may not advertise in any way that effectively conceals or misrepresents
Affiliate’s identity, domain name, or return email address. Affiliate may use email marketing to
promote Company so long as the recipient is already a subscriber of Affiliate, and recipients
have the option to remove themselves from future mailings, which is also known as
unsubscribing. Also, Affiliate may post to social media channels to promote Company so long as
the channel specifically welcomes commercial messages. Affiliate is liable for determining if a
social media platform accepts commercial messages.
At all times, Affiliate must clearly represent itself and its web sites as independent from
Company and fully disclose its status as Affiliate. If it comes to the attention of Company that
Affiliate is spamming, Company will consider that cause for immediate termination of this
Agreement and Affiliate’s participation in the Affiliate Program. Any pending balances owed to
Affiliate will not be paid if this Agreement is terminated due to such unacceptable advertising or
solicitation.
Affiliates that, among other keywords, bid in their Pay-Per-Click campaigns on keywords such
as Ahna Fulmer, Early Morning Habit, and/or any misspellings or similar alterations of these – be it separately or in combination with other
keywords – and do not direct the traffic from such campaigns to their website prior to
re-directing it to Company’s website, will be considered trademark violators, and will be banned
from the Affiliate Program. Company will do everything possible to contact Affiliate prior to the
ban. However, Company reserves the right to expel any trademark violator from the Affiliate
Program without prior notice, and on the first occurrence of such PPC bidding behavior.
Affiliate shall not transmit any so-called “interstitials,” “Parasiteware™,” “Parasitic Marketing,”
“Shopping Assistance Application,” “Toolbar Installations and/or Add-ons,” “Shopping Wallets” or
“deceptive pop-ups and/or pop-unders” to consumers from the time the consumer clicks on a
qualifying link until such time as the consumer has fully exited Company’s site (i.e., no page
from Company’s site or any of Company’s content or branding is visible on the end-user’s
screen). As used herein a. “Parasiteware™” and “Parasitic Marketing” shall mean an application
that (a) through accidental or direct intent causes the overwriting of affiliate and non-affiliate
commission tracking cookies through any other means than a customer initiated click on a
qualifying link on a web page or email; (b) intercepts searches to redirect traffic through an
installed software, thereby causing, pop ups, commission tracking cookies to be put in place or
other commission tracking cookies to be overwritten where a user would under normal
circumstances have arrived at the same destination through the results given by the search
(search engines being, but not limited to, Google, MSN, Yahoo, Overture, AltaVista, Hotbot and
similar search or directory engines); (c) set commission tracking cookies through loading of
Company site in IFrames, hidden links and automatic pop-ups that open Company’s site; (d)
targets text on websites, other than those websites 100% owned by the application owner, for
the purpose of contextual marketing; (e) removes, replaces or blocks the visibility of Affiliate
banners with any other banners, other than those that are on websites 100% owned by the
owner of the application. - LIMITED LICENSE TO USE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Company grants Affiliate a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to (i) access
Company’s site through HTML links solely in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and
(ii) solely in connection with such links, to use Company’s Affiliate Program logos, trade names,
trademarks, and similar identifying material (collectively, the “Licensed Materials”) that Company
provides to Affiliate or authorize for such purpose. Affiliate is only entitled to use the Licensed
Materials to the extent that Affiliate remains a member in good standing of the Affiliate Program.
Affiliate agrees that all uses of the Licensed Materials will be on behalf of Company and the

rights and no right, title, or interest is transferred to Affiliate. - LIMITED LICENSE TO USE THE PROMOTIONAL MATERIALS
Upon acceptance into the Affiliate Program, Company grants the Affiliate a revocable,
non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use the Promotional Materials provided by
Company during the term of this Agreement. The Affiliate may display these materials on the

The Affiliate is prohibited from distributing, reproducing, modifying, amending, or creating
derivative works of the Promotional Materials. - EFFECT OF TERMINATION ON LICENSES GRANTED
Upon termination by either party, Affiliate’s limited license to use the Licensed Materials and
Promotional Materials for the purpose of promoting the products and/or services offered through
the Affiliate Program, will cease as of the Termination Date. Upon the Termination Date, Affiliate
must immediately cease any use of the Licensed Material and Promotional Material. If Affiliate
fails to remove the Licensed Materials or Promotion Material from previously published content
after the Termination Date, no commissions on purchases made through Affiliate’s links after the
Termination Date will be due to Affiliate. - COMMISSION
