Affiliate Program TOS

Wholesome Story’s Affiliate Program Agreement Updated 05/07/25

Promotional Restrictions and Limitations: Participation in the Wholesome Story affiliate program is contingent upon affiliates promoting exclusively through their legitimate channels of influence. Any promotional activities conducted via paid traffic acquisition methods (including but not limited to search engine marketing, pay-per-click advertising, display advertising, or AdWords campaigns), retargeting mechanisms, coupon aggregation platforms, discount code repositories, or any other methodology that, at the sole and absolute discretion of Wholesome Story, contravenes either the express provisions or the intended purpose of these terms and conditions, shall constitute grounds for: (i) immediate denial and forfeiture of any and all commissions generated through such non-compliant promotional activities; and (ii) potential termination of the affiliate's participation in the program. Wholesome Story reserves the right to make final and binding determinations regarding the appropriateness of all promotional methods employed by affiliates, with no obligation to provide prior notification of such determinations.

Before promoting, please be aware of the following regulations: Affiliates shall not purchase keywords, domain names, advertising, search terms, adwords, or any other identifiers that include the word “Wholesome Story" and the names of Wholesome Story products or services, or any variations or misspellings thereof. Specifically, this policy includes the following:

  1. Affiliates shall NEVER bid on “Wholesome Story” and any keyword string that includes this term, such as “Wholesome Story’s Inositol” or “Wholesome Story supplements” or “Wholesome Story coupons” or “Wholesome Story promotions”. NEVER use any terminology in ads or landing pages that are similar to "scam" or "fraud," or create customer incentives for purchasing Wholesome Story products (e.g. cash rebates or 3rd party bonus offers).
  2. NEVER purchase domain names based on “Wholesome Story” or variations, such as “WholesomeStoryInositol.com” or “Wholesomestoryreviews.com”.
  3. NEVER use any images or videos that affiliates do not own, and are forbidden from using any imagery that would imply any endorsement without written consent from the appropriate parties. Affiliates are forbidden from creating webpages, social media pages or accounts that falsely represent themselves as the creators or owners of the Wholesome Story products.
  4. Any review page and all creative contained therein must include the word 'REVIEW' in the title, the url and any graphics used in the cover image or profile image. This includes blogs, webpages, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube or ANY OTHER online entity whether or not it is considered to be "social media".
  5. Affiliates may not bypass Wholesome Story pages to generate orders. In other words, no direct linking to cart or order forms from any ads or landing pages. The customer must see our offer as presented by us prior to landing on the cart. Any affiliate caught breaking any of these terms will be banned immediately without hesitation, and will not be eligible for reinstatement.
  6. Affiliates will always represent Wholesome Story with truth, honesty, and respect. Affiliates will use their own spheres of influence (social media, websites, etc.) to support their share of Wholesome Story. Wholesome Story reserves the right to remove affiliates from the program if they are not representing the Wholesome Story brand in a professional & respectful way.
