Most applicants qualify to participate in the Affiliate Program. However, we reserve the right to refuse or revoke membership at any time if we determine that you promote objectionable material.
While we encourage you to promote our products, all affiliate links must point back to the original product content or purchase page, and not to any third-party sites.

Affiliate payouts are made into your PayPal account and are withheld for ten days to allow for the refund period, and processed by our team monthly. It may take up to one (1) month and ten (10) days for your affiliate payments to land in your PayPal account.
In order to generate a commission, a purchase must:
Be made through your properly coded affiliate link or with your correct cookies installed on their browser.
Be paid in full, commission on payment plans will be paid in instalments, if I don’t get paid then you don’t get paid.
Not request a refund within 7 days of their purchase.
If you have a concern that you may be violating any of our guidelines, please contact us. Affiliates found to be in violation of the Affiliate Program Guidelines will forfeit commissions relating to either the specific transaction in violation or all commissions assigned.

Jurisdiction & dispute resolution
Newborn Mothers is located in Western Australia. This agreement is subject to the governing law of Western Australia.
If you have any issue or complaint arising out of your use of this website or these terms and conditions, you and Newborn Mothers agree to make a genuine effort to resolve the dispute through negotiation and discussion.
If we are unable to resolve a dispute by negotiation and discussion within fourteen (14) days, the parties must proceed to mediation with the assistance of an accredited mediator who is independent of the parties. The mediator is to be appointed by agreement of the parties or, failing agreement within twenty-one (21) days of the first notification of the dispute, by a person appointed by the Chair of Resolution Institute, (ACN 008 651 232, Level 2, 13-15 Bridge Street, Sydney NSW 2000; telephone: 02 9251 3366, email: infoaus@resolution.institute) or the Chair’s designated representative. The Resolution Institute Mediation Rules shall apply to the mediation. We agree to share the costs of mediation equally between us.
It is a condition precedent to the right of either party to commence litigation other than for interlocutory relief that it has first offered to submit the dispute to mediation. Litigation is to be considered a last resort and may not be commenced until, in the opinion of the independent mediator, the potential for negotiation and mediation have been exhausted.
