Step 5: Knowing The Rules
Representing opensky the right way can build trust with your audience and helps us maintain a level playing field for all partners.
Our Network Agreement and Code of Conduct spell out everything you need to know about working with opensky. We’ve listed out a few helpful highlights below:
-
Any opensky logo should appear on your site, apps, and social networks exactly as you download it from our Creative Gallery. You shouldn’t change the colors, typeface, or anything else about it.
-
We require partners to be very clear about their relationship with opensky. You can’t auto-redirect from your domain to opensky using an affiliate link. This means you should always feature links that clearly indicate in advance that you are sending buyers to purchase an item on opensky. In addition, whenever you’re promoting links, you must include any disclosures required by applicable law (e.g. FTC disclosures are required under US law.)
-
Don’t include opensky as part of any domain names or social media account names you use in any way that might confuse buyers about your relationship with opensky, or bid on opensky as a paid search term.
-
The opensky Partner Network exists for partners to send traffic to opensky from other sources. Links can only be posted outside of opensky, never on an opensky property. This also means that partners who are also sellers can’t include affiliate links within their opensky listings, opensky Store or opensky Messages.
