You are permitted to place links, banners, or other graphics we provide with your Affiliate Code on your site, in your emails, or in other communications. We will provide you with guidelines, link styles, and graphical artwork to use in linking to Utopius.

To permit accurate tracking, reporting, and referral fee accrual, we will provide you with special link formats to be used in all links between your site and Utopius. You must ensure that each of the links between your site and the Utopius properly utilizes such special link formats. Links to the Utopius website placed on your site pursuant to this Agreement and which properly utilize such special link formats are referred to as “Special Links.” You will earn referral fees only with respect to sales on Utopius products occurring directly through Special Links; we will not be liable to you with respect to any failure by you or someone you refer to use Special Links or incorrectly type your Affiliate Code, including to the extent that such failure may result in any reduction of amounts that would otherwise be paid to you pursuant to this Agreement.

Identifying yourself as a Utopius Affiliate

You may not issue any press release with respect to this Agreement or your participation in the Program; such action may result in your termination from the Program. In addition, you may not in any manner misrepresent or embellish the relationship between us and you, say you develop our products, say you are part of Utopius or express or imply any relationship or affiliation between us and you or any other person or entity except as expressly permitted by this Agreement (including by expressing or implying that we support, sponsor, endorse, or contribute money to any charity or other cause).

Unlike many other programs offered by competitors we currently do allow the of purchase products through your affiliate links for your own use. However, if any affiliates are, in addition to being an Affiliate, also a Utopius Dealer, as described in our Dealer Agreement, no commission on products will be paid.

Referral fees/commissions and payment

For every sale of Products that come to Utopius on the Website directly from a link from your Referral Code, Utopius will pay you a commission of TWENTY PERCENT (20%) of the advertised price, less discounts, promotions, rebates, specials, and the like.

Affiliate commissions shall not apply to taxes, government charges, shipping, handling, surcharges, and other charges. The commission shall not apply towards sales that are made then later cancelled, refunded, or returned, declined credit or debit cards, sales that are determined to be unauthorized or the result of fraud or identity theft, sales that are not permitted by law, sales that cannot be fulfilled due to out-of-stock or back-order issues or replaced Products, or other reasons.

For a Product sale to be eligible to earn a referral fee, the customer must click-through a Special Link from your website, Internet page, email, or other communications to https://www.utopius.com and complete an order for a product during that session. Referrals will be paid based on a first come, first serve basis. Referral cookies are active for twenty four (24) hours.

We will only pay commissions on links that are automatically tracked and reported by our systems. We will not pay commissions if someone claims they purchased or someone claims they entered a referral code if it was not tracked by our system. We can only pay commissions on business generated through properly formatted special links that were automatically tracked by our systems.
We reserve the right to disqualify commissions earned through fraudulent, illegal, or overly aggressive, questionable sales or marketing methods. You may not bid on, and therefore will not receive any commission for sales based upon, the following search terms: utopius, utopius.com, utopius coupon, and any variations of the foregoing taking into account, without limitation, capital letters, spaces, and punctuation. You are permitted to operate your affiliate program through websites that share commissions with customers.

Payments only begin once you’ve earned more than $25 in affiliate income. If your affiliate account never crosses the $25 threshold, your commissions will not be realized or paid. We are only responsible for paying accounts that have crossed the $25 threshold.

Payment, Refunds & Deductions

As long as current affiliate earnings are over $25 funds will be released. If Affiliates have not earned $25 then payment will be made in following month or in any subsequent month that the threshold is reached. Payment is typically issued during the first week of each month, however processing can take up to 15 day. Payments will made based on the information provided during the Affiliate sign up process (current payment options include Paypal and we anticipate will be forthcoming, although checks may incur mailing and administrative fees).

As alluded to above, there are certain situation which may result in removal of a commission. For example: In the event a customer requests a refund for a transaction or in the event of a fraudulent transaction which results in a chargeback or cancellation past a thirty-day window, any earned commissions will be deducted from the Affiliate’s existing balance.
