One of the affiliates attending the conference asked a particularly good question: “If a dishonest merchant is sued by the customer coming from an affiliate website, would this affiliate be liable as well?” The answer was affirmative: Affiliates—who are not responsible for the creation of a product or service—can still ...

Read More »We’ve all seen those ridiculous warning labels. We order a hot cup of coffee, and it warns “Caution! Contents are hot!” Icons on the package instruct us that children should not hide in the refrigerator and we should not microwave the cat. The fine print warns us what is not fit for human consumption: markers, laundry detergent, an iPod. These all seem obvious to us, but the fact that these warnings exist means that someone somewhere tried it and sued the company. No matter how honest of a businessperson you are, no one is immune from the occasional disgruntled customer. Even if you are not directly at fault, you could be included in a lawsuit. This topic of legal issues in internet marketing in general is rarely discussed, and even less so for affiliate marketing specifically. On January 6, I attended the SMX Israel Conference, which featured some really great speakers, including Marty Weintraub from AimClear, John Mueller from Google Switzerland, Julia Logan a.k.a. IrishWonder, and many more. One of the affiliates attending the conference asked a particularly good question: “If a dishonest merchant is sued by the customer coming from an affiliate website, would this affiliate be liable as well?” The answer was affirmative: Affiliates—who are not responsible for the creation of a product or service—can still be held liable and need to protect themselves. This inspired me to research deeper potential legal issues and provide tips on how to avoid liability in Affiliate Marketing.

Through this website you are able to link to other websites which are not under the control of dealmoon.com. We have no control over the nature, content and availability of those sites. The inclusion of any links does not necessarily imply a recommendation or endorse the views expressed within them. Dealmoon.com has financial relationships with some of the Credit cards shown on the website, and Dealmoon.com may be compensated if consumers choose to apply for these links in the content, and ultimately sign up for them. As you can see, it’s short, simple, and includes both a compensation disclosure and liability of limitations. Of course, there’s no 100% guarantee that some customer will not try to sue you, but this can greatly increase your chances being vindicated should legal action ensue.. Awareness of the potential risks and expert contract-drafting are absolutely essential for moving forward in the affiliate industry, not only for merchants, but for affiliates as well. Creating an affiliate disclosure doesn’t take much work or time, but goes a long way. Keep in mind that if some people need a special warning that their hot coffee is hot or that the cat might not find the microwave as cozy as a sunbeam, there’s no telling what they’ll do or who they’ll blame when things go awry.
