2.1.9. You may not create or design your website or any other website that you operate, explicitly or implied in a manner that resembles our website nor
design your website in a manner that leads customers to believe you are 247teach.org, 247education.org or any other affiliated business.
2.2. As a member of 24/7 Education Affiliate Program, you will have access to the 24/7 Education Dashboard. Here you will be able to review our Program’s details, download HTML code (that provides for links to web pages within the 24/7 Education websites) and banner creatives, browse and get tracking codes for our coupons and deals. In order for us to accurately keep track of all guest visits from your site to ours, you must use the HTML code that we provide for each banner, text link, or other affiliate links we provide you with.
2.3. 247teach.org, 247education.org reserves the right, at any time, to review your placement and approve the use of your links and require that you change the placement or use to comply with the guidelines provided to you.

All endorsements, reviews, and testimonials on 24/7 Education’s products and services, as well as relationships between other types of content websites (forums, blogs, microblogs, and other Social Media channels) and 24/7 Education must be clearly disclosed in a separate policy on the affiliate sites. FTC points out that “when there exists a connection between the endorser and the seller of the advertised product,” it is imperative that such a connection is “fully disclosed.” FTC deems the relationship in an endorser-sponsor light and believes that the end-user has the right to understand the one that exists. We share the underlying idea of this approach and strongly encourage our affiliates to adhere to the FTC’s rules. We also reserve the right to terminate our relationship with any non-compliant affiliates.

Other generally prohibited forms of advertising include the use of unsolicited commercial email (UCE), postings to non-commercial newsgroups, and cross-posting to multiple newsgroups at once. In addition, you may not advertise in any way that effectively conceals or misrepresents your identity, your domain name, or your return email address.
