Order Fulfillment
WeddingMC.org will be solely responsible for processing every order placed by a customer on the Affiliate Site. You are not authorized to sell any of these products from your site as a “reseller” and no “resale” rights are granted in ANY way on these products unless otherwise noted.
Customers
Customers who purchase products and services through the Affiliate Program will be deemed to be customers of WeddingMC.org. Accordingly, all rules, policies, and operating procedures concerning customer orders and service will apply to those customers. We may change our policies and operating procedures at any time. Prices and availability of our products and services may vary from time to time. WeddingMC.org policies will always determine the price paid by the customer.
Qualification for Commissions
Affiliates must have an active link from their website to their Affiliate link in order to qualify for commissions.
Qualifying Sites
WeddingMC.org reserves the right not to accept any site into the Affiliate Program based on site content.

Unsolicited Commercial Email or SPAM – CAN-SPAM Rules
WeddingMC.org in no way participates in mass unsolicited emailing (i.e. spamming), and all Affiliates are expected to adhere to this policy as well.
