Grand Teton Ancient Grains Affiliate Program Terms and Conditions
Company: Ancient Grains LLC dba Grand Teton Ancient Grains (“Company,” “we,” or “us”), an Idaho limited liability company with its principal place of business in Teton, Idaho.
Website: www.ancientgrains.com
Program: Grand Teton Ancient Grains Affiliate Program (“Program”)
By applying to or participating in the Program, you (“Affiliate,” “you,” or “your”) agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions (“Terms”). These Terms form a binding legal agreement between you and the Company.
1. Program Overview
The Program allows approved Affiliates to earn commissions by referring customers to www.ancientgrains.com for the purchase of our products, which include grains, flour, pasta, cookbooks, kitchen appliances, courses, and related items. Participation is subject to our approval and ongoing compliance with these Terms.
2. Commission Structure
You will earn an 8% flat commission on qualifying sales generated through your unique affiliate tracking link.
The tracking cookie has a lifetime of 60 days or until the first purchase is made by the referred customer, whichever occurs first.
We use last-click attribution. If a customer later purchases through another affiliate’s link, that other affiliate receives the commission.
Commissions are calculated on the net sale amount after discounts, taxes, shipping, and any other deductions (excluding the commission itself).
Important: Commissions are paid only on sales that ship to addresses within the United States. No commissions are earned on orders shipping outside the U.S., even if the customer initially clicks your link.
3. Payment Terms
Commissions become payable once your account balance reaches the $100 minimum threshold.
Payments are processed monthly via PayPal, typically on or around the 15th of the following month (subject to our reasonable processing times).
We reserve the right to withhold or delay payment if we suspect fraud, violation of these Terms, or if additional verification is needed.
4. Commission Reversal / Clawback Policy
Commissions are subject to reversal if the underlying order is refunded, canceled, or charged back within 60 days of the sale date. In such cases, we will deduct the corresponding commission from your account balance. If the balance is insufficient, we may invoice you for the amount owed or offset it against future commissions.
All fraudulent commissions (as determined by us in our sole discretion) will be denied and/or clawed back immediately.
5. Prohibited Practices
You agree not to engage in any of the following activities. Violation of any prohibited practice may result in immediate termination, forfeiture of all unpaid commissions, and potential legal action:
Cookie stuffing, forced clicks, link interception, or any other method that artificially inflates clicks, impressions, or sales.
Use of Google Ads or any paid search (PPC), paid social, or other paid advertising that directs traffic to our site.
Bidding on any of our trademarks, brand names, variations, or misspellings (including “Grand Teton Ancient Grains,” “Ancient Grains,” or similar terms) in any paid advertising platform.
Sending unsolicited commercial emails (spam) or violating CAN-SPAM, Do Not Call registry rules, or any other anti-spam laws.
Self-referrals — purchasing through your own affiliate link or using your link for personal orders.
Coupon stacking or using unauthorized coupons/discount codes.
Unauthorized use of our trademarks, logos, images, or branding.
Promoting our products on adult, illegal, offensive, or controversial websites or platforms.
Any form of fraud, incentivized traffic, bot traffic, artificial traffic generation, or other deceptive practices.
Any other activity that we determine, in our sole discretion, constitutes fraud or harms our brand.
Failure to use only approved claims or failure to immediately remove or correct non-compliant promotional content upon notice from the Company.
We reserve the right to deny or claw back any commissions we deem fraudulent or generated through prohibited methods.
6. Allowed Marketing Methods
You may promote our products only through legitimate organic channels, such as content on your own website or blog, organic social media posts, honest product reviews on YouTube or similar platforms, email marketing to your own opted-in lists, Pinterest, TikTok, and similar organic methods.
If you are unsure whether a marketing method is permitted, you must contact us for approval before using it. We reserve the right to deny commissions on any traffic or sales we determine fall outside allowed sources.
7. Brand Guidelines and Disclosures
You must strictly follow our Brand Guidelines, which are available in the affiliate dashboard or provided upon request. These guidelines include approved logos, color schemes, images, messaging, and allowable claims.
We reserve the right to review any promotional content at any time. Any content found to be non-compliant with these Terms, our Brand Guidelines, or applicable laws must be removed or corrected immediately upon notice from us.
You are solely responsible for ensuring that all promotional claims about our products — including any health, nutritional, ingredient, or benefit-related statements — use only claims we have expressly approved in writing. Unauthorized or unapproved claims are strictly prohibited.
On every promotion (post, email, video, story, etc.) that includes your affiliate link, you must clearly and conspicuously disclose your affiliate relationship using one of the following acceptable disclosures:
“#ad”
“This post contains affiliate links. We may earn a commission if you make a purchase through these links, at no extra cost to you.”
All promotions must comply with applicable federal, state, and local advertising laws, including FTC guidelines on endorsements and disclosures.
8. Intellectual Property
We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use our approved logos and marketing materials solely for the purpose of promoting the Program in compliance with these Terms. All other rights in our trademarks, content, and materials remain exclusively with us. You may not modify our materials without prior written approval.
9. Compliance with Laws
You agree to comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, including but not limited to privacy laws, data protection laws, CAN-SPAM Act, Do Not Call rules, and FTC advertising guidelines. You are solely responsible for your own marketing activities.
10. Termination
We may terminate your participation in the Program at any time, with or without cause, upon written notice (including via email). Upon termination:
You must immediately cease all promotion of our products and remove all affiliate links and materials.
You will be paid any earned and unpaid commissions that are not subject to reversal or clawback (subject to the payment threshold).
All licenses granted to you terminate immediately.
You may also terminate your participation at any time by notifying us in writing.
11. Limitation of Liability and Indemnification
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or related to the Program. Our total liability shall not exceed the total commissions paid to you in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Company, its officers, members, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable attorney fees) arising from your breach of these Terms, your marketing activities, or your violation of any law.
12. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Idaho, without regard to conflict of laws principles. Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Bonneville County, Idaho. You consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts.
13. Miscellaneous
These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company regarding the Program and supersede any prior understandings.
We may update or revise these Terms and Conditions from time to time in our sole discretion. The current version will always be posted on this affiliate program website. It is your responsibility as an Affiliate to review the Terms periodically for any changes. Your continued participation in the Program after any modifications have been posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to any changes, you must immediately cease all promotion and notify us in writing to terminate your participation.
If any provision is held invalid, the remainder of the Terms shall remain in effect.
No waiver of any breach shall constitute a waiver of any other breach.
