Unfortunately the PARTYMART affiliate program is not open to the general public. The affiliate program is available to companies and professionals who are involved in the entertainment, party and/or special events “industries,” These companies or professionals must operate in either the United States and/or Canada only. Only companies or professionals involved within these “industries” will be approved to promote their own party store. PARTYMART does reserve the right to approve and/or deny any application for the PARTYMART affiliate program. While applications are primarily based on the potential affiliates association to any of the “industries” PARTYMART may from time to time accept special cases. Special cases are determined on a case by case scenario where PARTYMART feels the applicant fit into the program.
Note: Professionals who work for any company that is signed up as an affiliate should have permission from their company to compete with a separate affiliate store. PARTYMART does not accept any liability for creating competition within any company. It is up to the company to decide those terms and enforce them.

PARTYMART’S RESPONSIBILITIES
PARTYMART will service, update and administrate all product information and sales information for sales processed through any of its affiliate stores. PARTYMART works hard to get the best prices and expand its product line regularly. PARTYMART’s affiliate program is designed to give the affiliate minimal work (most of which is optional), while PARTYMART will actually complete the order, bill the customer and pay the affiliate (as described in the COMMISSION PAID OR OWED TO AFFILIATES section of this agreement). PARTYMART is not responsible for actual advertising and promotions of any affiliate store. It is PARTYMART’s pleasure to pay your commission when owed.
AFFILIATES RESPONSIBILITIES
It is up to the affiliate to promote the affiliate’s store. We suggest showing it to your clients. If you have a website place links to your affiliate store. Tools for already designed links are available in your affiliate administration which is detailed below. Remember if the store exists and you don’t tell anyone, chances of making sales are very low.
AFFILIATE COMMISSION RATE
The commission rate which PARTYMART offers to its affiliates is 20% of the total sale through their affiliate store. The commission shown and the commission paid is based on the total of each sale before shipping and any applicable taxes. The commission also excludes charge backs, handling fees, returns, exchanges, refunds, bad credit and any other abnormal purchasing costs which are not part of the basic affiliate store products as shown on the PARTYMART e-commerce store.
COMMISSION PAID OR OWED TO AFFILIATES
PartyMart will pay its affiliates once a month and only when a minimum 25 dollars Canadian or 20 dollars U.S. is owed. U.S. addressed affiliates will be compensated in U.S. dollars by default and Canadian affiliates will be compensated in Canadian dollars by default. Owed commission is based solely on orders which have been filled and where no balance is owed and the customer has received and accepted the order beyond the time allotted for refund. Affiliates may choose to either receive a check or inform PartyMart directly that they would like to save their commission as credit towards a future purchase. Commission will not be paid to any affiliate that has an outstanding balance.
AFFILIATE ADMINISTRATION AND TOOLS
After any affiliate is approved they have immediate access to their own administration section located at http://www.PARTYMART/affiliate.asp. This administration section allows for the customization of the affiliates party store. In the affiliate’s administration the affiliate may at any time edit and or update their corporate profile. Others tools include banners for the affiliate’s stand alone sites to link back to the affiliate’s store. PARTYMART believes that the affiliate’s administration is a powerful tool. Use it well and check it regularly as new additions and controls may be added from time to time.
CUSTOMIZATION: CORPORATE PROFILE AND LOGO
The PARTYMART affiliate program allows some customization. This customization includes the ability for affiliates to upload a company or personal logo. Other features include website links, contact information and some text space. While PARTYMART does not represent each affiliate and the information displayed PARTYMART reserves the right to immediately remove any affiliate from the program if the PARTYMART administrators, directors, executives, operators, regulators, or any other sufficient supervisor feel there is fraudulent, indecent, illegal or any unethical information displayed. PARTYMART suggests to its affiliates that all contact information and external web-links provided should remain within the special event industry excluding any adult only websites and youth sensitive material.
