To begin the enrollment process you must complete an affiliate application via our site. All information associated with your affiliate account must be real and verifiable. You are allowed to use only one affiliate account unless approved by PandaVPN to use more than one account. The fact that we approve applications does not imply that we may not re-evaluate your application at a later time. We may reject or cancel your application, in our sole discretion, if we decide your site or/and your participation in our Program is unsuitable. These may include but are not limited to any media that will:

• Promote our services in a manner that contains any form of misleading, defamatory, illegal activities, or any other content deemed offensive by us.
• Cause damage to the PandaVPN brand name.
• Promote our services in a manner that encourages a user to sign up for the purpose of engaging in any illegal activity.
• Include non-working websites, blogs without content, or parked domains.
• Incorporate any materials which infringe any copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property rights.

Unsuitable participation in the Program includes:

Spam is the use of electronic messaging systems to send any unsolicited bulk messages, whether commercial or non-commercial in nature. The term ”spam“ is applied to similar abuses in other media: junk faxes, mobile phone messaging spam, instant messaging spam, search engine spam, internet forum spam, social networks spam, spam in blogs, wiki spam, etc. If you run a newsletter, e-zine, or any kind of bulk messaging service or software, you must have evidence that people signed up to receive messages from you.

Cookie-stuffing techniques.

You are not allowed to use cookie-stuffing techniques that set the affiliate cookies without the referred visitor’s knowledge or generate hidden forced clicks of your affiliate links (e.g., via iframe, image, pop-up, javascript, flash-based cooking stuffing, etc.).

Pop-up or pop-under advertising.

Without specific approval, you may not send traffic to PandaVPN’s website by serving pop-up or pop-under impressions. In general, visitors must arrive to PandaVPN’s website via a manual click action undertaken directly by a user.

Improper advertising methods.

You may not bid for competing keywords that include any variations of PandaVPN or misspellings in PPC programs such as Google Adwords, without specific approval. You may not use your affiliate links in any PPC programs such as Google Adwords.
