7 Advertising Conditions

7.1 Advertising and Promotion Guidelines

You can promote your own site until and unless the advertisement does not directly reference 360 Antivirus Pro as a joint effort for you. You are not allowed to use “spamming” or deceptive techniques, including unsolicited commercial emails, postings to non-commercial newsgroups, and cross-posting to multiple newsgroups at the same time. In addition to this, using a spoof identity, domain name, and email address is not acceptable for any type of promotion.
You can use email campaigns to promote 360 Antivirus Pro if the recipients are customers and subscribers of your services or online site, and they have the option to unsubscribe from future communications. You can use newsgroups to promote our product if the newsgroup allows commercial messages.
Make sure you always promote yourself and your website as an independent entity. If we find that you are involved in prohibited activities or spamming for advertising, we will immediately terminate this agreement and your participation in our affiliate program. In this case, we are not liable to pay any pending commissions.

7.2 Submission of Leads

Affiliates can enter potential customers’ information into lead forms in order to learn more about the purchase of the product services. Make sure the information provided is accurate and truthful. You are not allowed to submit fake and incorrect details to achieve more leads. The leads you generate must be authentic and maintain the credibility of the sales process. Misleading and false leads discredit our program’s effectiveness. We may impose penalties on you for doing so.

7.3 Prohibited Use of Interstitials, Parasiteware™, and Other Deceptive Tools

We prohibit you from using software and techniques such as interstitials, Parasiteware™, Parasitic Marketing, Shopping Assistance Applications, Toolbar Installations/Add-ons, Shopping Wallets, or any deceiving notifications during the customer clicks on the qualifying links until the completion of the task. Parasiteware™ and Parasitic Marketing are malicious apps that resort to unethical behaviors such as:

Overwriting Cookies: Such an app may overwrite affiliate and non-affiliate commission-tracking cookies without any legitimate customer clicking the qualifying link. It can happen accidentally or intentionally, manipulating commissions’ tracking and crediting process.

Redirecting Searches: Intercepting search results to redirect traffic through installed software, leading to notifications, or placing commission-tracking cookies are other illicit activities that malicious apps can do. It is not a legitimate practice because it manipulates the natural flow of a user`s search engines to direct and commissions artificially.

Hidden or Automatic Actions: Such malicious tools might set tracking cookies by loading 360 Antivirus Pro in hidden ways without clear user action.

Contextual Marketing on External Sites: These applications target text on websites not owned by the owner to push the relevant ads to unfairly divert sales or mislead online users.

Banner Manipulation: They can remove, replace, or block affiliate banners with other banners that are not approved, disrupting the intended display of affiliate promotions.
