Dear Associate, 

Your Associates account has come up for review in connection with our ongoing monitoring of the Amazon Associates Program. During our review, we have determined that you are not in compliance with the Operating Agreement that governs your participation in the Associates Program and your Associates Program account has been closed. You will not receive further payment of advertising fees. 

You are not in compliance because you are encouraging customers to bookmark your Amazon links, as opposed to clicking through your website to reach Amazon. This is not the intent of the Associates Program. Section 7 of the Operating Agreement states that a “Qualifying Purchase” occurs when a customer clicks through a Special Link on your site to the Amazon Site. Purchases resulting from clicks through bookmarked links do not fit this criteria. 

You can find the complete terms of the Operating Agreement, including the Participation Requirements and Linking Requirements, via this link: 
https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/gp/associates/agreement. 

We ask that you immediately remove all Amazon Content from your site(s). Any other accounts you have or may open in the future may be closed and you will not receive any advertising fees. We reserve all other rights and claims we may have. 

We appreciate your understanding in this matter.

Warmest Regards,

Amazon.com
