Terms

How
do I join the programme?
Read the 4free.co.uk associates programme terms and
conditions
Fill in our online application
form to Sign Up
Doing
so will register your web site with the Associates programme. You will
receive an e-mail reply with your Associates ID Code and instructions on
setting up your links. You will also receive access to our resellers mall
and associates area, giving you valuable information and documents
that will enable you to rapidly understand and further your business.
What
does it cost to join?
It
is absolutely FREE of charge for you to become an associate.
How
does the programme work?
It’s
easy. You earn commission on services and products available in the
associates programme from 4free.co.uk. You do this by simply placing a
4free.co.uk logo or banner on your web site. All “sales” that result
from visitors to your clicking on that banner will earn commission.
We take care of all orders and processing. The 4free.co.uk
programme is centred around first class telecom and Internet services and
products, which are in very high demand.
How
much money can I earn?
There
is no limit to how much you can earn from the programme. Obviously,
the more exposure the logos and banners get
on your site will mean you have more chance of earning money from the
programme. It is important to remember that some of the income you will be
earning is a residual income, which means that you will continue to
receive it as long as you display the 4free logo's.
Is
it true I can earn money from my time spent on the Internet?
Yes.
You can get a cash payment for all of your time spent online by signing up
with the UK’s most innovative Internet Service Provider, 4theNET.co.uk.
Not only do you earn money for your time on the Internet but you
can earn money for all of your referrals too! You can place a referral
link on your site and start earning from this too. This is not part of the
associates programme but is a separate payment from 4theNET. For
more info please go to http://www.4thenet.co.uk/pays
.
How
can I get a copy of the logos and banners?
4free.co.uk
logos and banners that you can use on your site to show your visitors that
you’re an 4free.co.uk Associate are available in the webmasters area.
Our most successful Associates sites display these logo’s and banners
prominently, taking advantage of our good name within the industry.
If you
are an approved 4free.co.uk Associate site, you can copy and place any of
these images on to your own site. We recommend that you use them
either on your home page, on your online store page or on any other pages
where you offer products for sale. These familiar images will help
your visitors identify your web site with both e-commerce and the
4free.co.uk brand name. Please refer to the 4free.co.uk Associates
Programme Terms and
Conditions for more information regarding your use of these images.
How
can I improve my earnings potential?
Visitors to your site will be more
likely to “buy” from your store if they know they’ll be buying from
an established, trustworthy source. 4free.co.uk.is
the leading online retailer of quality free goods and services. We offer
first class customer service.
Putting our logo in a visible
place on your web site will help people to know they are buying from the
leading provider of free telecom and utility services and products. Our
logo’s and banners are online for you to use.
-
Promote
your store on your home page (or other key areas on your site). As a
rule, the farther away you mention your store from the home page, the
less likely your visitors are to see it.
-
Keep
links visible. The farther down you have to scroll to find a link or
item, the less likely your visitors are to take the time to find it.
-
Use
the 4free.co.uk logo or banner to help you sell more. It is an
established name within the industry and we’ve put some logos and
banners online to help you promote sales on your site.
-
A
banner with a mobile phone for example, can help people identify that
you are giving away free mobile phones. These can be found online with
our logos and banners library.
-
Describe
the store as an association between your site and the 4free.co.uk
site. For instance:
European Network.co.uk - 4free.co.uk
European
Network.co.uk - in association with 4free.co.uk
European Network.co.uk -
an associate of 4free.co.uk
When
do I get paid my commission?
You
will receive all commissions due to you as outlined in the terms and
conditions.
Can
I take orders on my own web site and send them to you?
No.
By using our system to quote availability and take orders you ensure that
your visitors get the most up-to-date information and ordering options
available from 4free.co.uk.
Can
I list prices?
No, we ask that you remove all
price information from the links on your Associate site. Definitive price
information for an order will be taken from our site, which is updated on
a regular basis. The nature of the services and products we provide mean
that there may be changes in pricing tariffs. Changes in availability can
also lead to changes in prices or discounts, and suppliers sometimes
update their prices on newly released products as well as on older
editions.
If
you have incorrectly listed the price of a product and it is different to
the price on the 4free.co.uk web site, customers may feel that they have
been unfairly influenced by your web site. If your price is too high your
visitors may decide not to purchase the item at all.
How do I
get started?
You can
get started instantly by linking to our home page with a 4free.co.uk
logo. Grab a logo from our logo’s and banners section of the
webmasters area. Once
your application has been approved, you’ll automatically begin earning
referral fees on sales generated by your associate links.
How
can I check my statistics?
You can check your statistics in
the webmasters area and see how many applications for our services have
been made.
You’ll be able to see
your own online stats every time you log into the members area. This
does not constitute “sales” in all cases as several services are
dependent on usage to ensure commission will be earned.
How
do I stay informed about the services on offer from 4free?
Obviously, you will want to keep
an eye on our web site to see what is on offer as you will probably want
some of the services yourself. The 4free Associates team will send
you an e-mail to let you know all of the latest developments and new
services and products you can earn money from.
How
will my visitors place orders?
You
can choose to link to our home page or choose your own selection and
market the products on your web site. In turn, we’ll run your online
store for you by recording, processing and fulfilling your customer
orders. Visitors to your site
click on your 4free.co.uk logo or banner and go to the 4free.co.uk home
page. You earn on items listed in the terms and conditions they use
or purchase.
What
sort of web site must I have?
Most web sites will qualify to
participate in the programme; however, we will reject web sites that we
determine are unsuitable. Examples of sites that would not qualify
for participation include:
-
Sites
that promote sexually explicit material
