Document background
The Affiliate Business Agreement serves as the foundation for affiliate marketing relationships in the United States, defining how affiliates can promote and sell a merchant's products or services. This document has become increasingly important with the growth of digital marketing and e-commerce, requiring careful attention to FTC guidelines, disclosure requirements, and data privacy regulations. The agreement typically includes detailed commission structures, payment terms, promotional guidelines, and compliance requirements while protecting both parties' interests through clear terms and conditions.
