An Brand Champion account may be cancelled by Sword & Plough at any time without cause or reason. We may also cancel your account if you breach these terms or engage in any of the following: defamation, misrepresentation made to us, spam email used to promote the Brand Champion, posting referral codes on unapproved websites, uploading referral codes through the use of unapproved methods, running sites that we feel might bring Sword & Plough disrepute, or violating applicable laws and regulations.

A Brand Champion account belonging to an individual will also terminate automatically upon death of such individual. Brand Champion accounts are non-transferable. The Brand Champion account will belong to the original registered owner until such time as the account is canceled by either party.
ACCOUNT ACCESS AND MANAGEMENT
Upon acceptance into the Sword & Plough Brand Champion Program you will be emailed links, passwords and the related information necessary to gain access to your unique control panel. From there you can manage your account, make updates and track your commissions and payouts.
REFERRAL TRACKING - DISCOUNT CODES
Brand Champions will be issued three unique discount codes (10%, 15% and 20% OFF). Each of these codes is unique to your account. The 10% and 15% OFF coupon codes may be used at your discretion. The 20% OFF coupon code is reserved exclusively for active duty military personnel, veterans and their spouses and CANNOT be given to anyone who does not meet those requirements.
When you use discount codes, these codes will be used to track your sales referrals. It is the Brand Champion’s responsibility to ensure that the appropriate discount code is used by the customer.

Sword & Plough may modify or discontinue discounts codes at any time upon notice to Brand Champion.
REFERRAL TRACKING - LINK
Upon acceptance into the Program, you will be provided with a unique tracking link. This link redirects to the Sword & Plough website. When a customer clicks on your link, they are directed to the Sword & Plough website and a small “tracking pixel” is placed on their web browser. This allows us to track their actions while on our website. If the customer makes a purchase within 30 days of clicking on the link, you will receive credit for that purchase. After this 30 day period the customer must click on the Brand Champion’s link again in order for a commission to be earned.
Please note that commissions may not be reported if a customer has their cookie protection settings set to a high level. This may block and prevent the necessary cookies from being installed thus preventing the accrual of commissions that you as the Brand Champion may earn.
Sword & Plough is not responsible for sales lost through high security settings, firewall parameters, or any other settings or equipment which prevent the necessary cookies from being installed.
Brand Champions are solely responsible for the development, operation, maintenance and technical operation of their sites including all materials that appear on their sites and related equipment.
When linking to our website, you agree:
- 1. You will only use linking code obtained from the Brand Champion interface without manipulation.
- 2. You will notify us of any websites that your referral link has been posted to.
- 3. Your website will not in any way copy, resemble, or mirror the look and feel of our website. You will also not use any means to create the impression that your website is our website or any part of our website including, without limitation, framing of our website in any manner.
- 4. You may not engage in cookie stuffing or include pop-ups or false/misleading links on your website. In addition, wherever possible, you will not attempt to mask the referring URL information (i.e. the page from where the click is originating).
- 5. Your website may not use redirects to bounce a click off of a domain from which the click did not originate in order to give the appearance that it came from that domain.
If you are found redirecting links to hide or manipulate their original source, your current and past commissions will be voided or your commission level will be set to 0%. This does not include using "out" redirects from the same domain where the referral link is placed.
Brand Champions understand that payment tracking can never be 100% accurate and this may be affected by events beyond our control. Sword & Plough is not responsible for lost commission due to the customer’s failure to use the Brand Champion’s unique discount code or referral link or other events beyond Sword & Plough’s control.

ARBITRATION, CLASS WAIVER, AND WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL
You and Sword & Plough mutually agree to resolve any disputes between you and Sword & Plough, including any disputes involving your use of the Services, exclusively through final and binding arbitration before a single arbitrator instead of filing a lawsuit in court. This arbitration agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16).
If either party wishes to initiate arbitration, the initiating party must notify the other party in writing via certified mail, return receipt requested, or hand delivery within the applicable statute of limitations period. This demand for arbitration must include (1) the name and address of the party seeking arbitration, (2) a statement of the legal and factual basis of the claim, and (3) a description of the remedy sought. Any demand for arbitration by you must be delivered to Sword & Plough LLC, 164 South Humboldt St., Denver, CO 80209 Attn: Legal Department.
CLASS ACTION WAIVER: You and Sword & Plough mutually agree that by entering into this agreement to arbitrate, both waive their right to have any dispute or claim brought, heard or arbitrated as a class action, collective action and/or representative action, and an arbitrator shall not have any authority to hear or arbitrate any class, collective or representative action ("Class Action Waiver"). Notwithstanding any other clause contained in this Agreement or the JAMS Rules, as defined below, any claim that all or part of this Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, unconscionable, void or voidable may be determined only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator.
Any arbitration shall be governed by the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures ("JAMS Rules"), except as follows:
- + The arbitration shall be heard by one arbitrator selected in accordance with the JAMS Rules. The arbitrator shall be an attorney with experience in the law underlying the dispute.
- + The location for the arbitration shall be Denver, Colorado, unless the parties otherwise agree on another location.
- + Unless applicable law provides otherwise, as determined by the arbitrator, the parties agree to equally share all of the arbitrator’s fees and costs.
- + The arbitrator may issue orders (including subpoenas to third parties) allowing the parties to conduct discovery sufficient to allow each party to prepare that party’s claims and/or defenses, taking into consideration that arbitration is designed to be a speedy and efficient method for resolving disputes.
- + Except as provided in the Class Action Waiver, the arbitrator may award all remedies to which a party is entitled under applicable law and which would otherwise be available in a court of law, but shall not be empowered to award any remedies that would not have been available in a court of law for the claims presented in arbitration.
- + The arbitrator may hear motions to dismiss and/or motions for summary judgment and will apply the standards of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure governing such motions.
- + The arbitrator’s decision or award shall be in writing with findings of fact and conclusions of law.
- + Either party may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for temporary or preliminary injunctive relief on the ground that without such relief the arbitration may be rendered ineffectual.
