Online Sale: 3%-6%

Payout Details

Cirrusly Weather uses a ranked system to pay commissions. The first commission tier that the product meets all conditions is the commission rate paid. The discount rate is calculated from MSRP, not our regular sale price. This may be less than MSRP. For discounts of exactly 10%, the higher commission tier is paid.

Please note that due to pricing variability, products promoted near the 10% discount rate may, from time to time, produce less-than-expected commissions as the selling price may occasionally be more than 10% less than MSRP.

Commissions are paid on a per-item basis, not per-order. Orders may contain commission-ineligible products.

Program Integrity & Prohibited Practices

Cirrusly Weather reserves the right to immediately terminate any partner from the affiliate program, without prior notice, for engaging in practices that artificially inflate metrics or misrepresent traffic quality. Prohibited practices include, but are not limited to:

  • Click fraud or inflation – Generating clicks through automated means, bots, browser extensions that fire clicks without genuine user intent, or any method that creates a significant discrepancy between reported clicks and actual site visits
  • Cookie stuffing – Dropping affiliate cookies without genuine user engagement or through background processes
  • Attribution manipulation – Intercepting or claiming credit for sales that originated through other channels (e.g., injecting affiliate cookies at checkout for customers who arrived organically or via other referrers)
  • Incentivized clicks – Paying, rewarding, or otherwise incentivizing users to click affiliate links without genuine purchase intent
  • Misrepresentation of traffic sources – Falsely representing the nature, origin, or quality of referred traffic

We actively monitor click-to-session ratios and conversion patterns. Partners exhibiting anomalous activity sustained over more than 48 hours will be subject to review and potential immediate removal. Commissions associated with fraudulent activity will be forfeited.


Use of Promo Codes and Affiliate Links

Partners may only promote promo codes that have been explicitly assigned to them through the Impact platform. Partners shall not:

  1. Use or promote promo codes obtained from third-party coupon sites, social media, or other public sources
  2. Post their assigned codes on any third-party coupon or deal websites
  3. Use their assigned codes for personal purchases or share codes with immediate family members for such purchases

Search Engine Optimization

Cirrusly Weather understands that Partners employ various techniques to enhance the visibility of their web content. Partners are free to use any techniques they wish, with a few exceptions:

  1. Do not use the Cirrusly Weather name in any keywords, descriptions, or titles.
  2. “Keyword stuffing” is strictly prohibited. Links to Cirrusly Weather must be within content that provides value (i.e., reviews, comparisons, roundups).
  3. Do not use photography that you do not have the rights to, other than manufacturer-supplied or your own.
  4. Do not misrepresent your partnership with Cirrusly Weather in any way.

Content Requirements

Partner must comply with all applicable Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines regarding disclosure of material connections. At minimum, Partner will:

  • Include a clear and conspicuous disclosure of the affiliate relationship near all affiliate links.
  • Use disclosure language such as “Affiliate links” or “We may earn a commission from purchases made through links on this page.”
  • Ensure disclosures are visible without scrolling on the page where affiliate links appear.
  • Include appropriate disclosures on social media posts containing affiliate links (e.g., #ad, #affiliate, #sponsored).

Product Claims and Accuracy: Partner agrees to ensure all product information, specifications, and claims are accurate and based on official manufacturer data or direct hands-on testing. Partner will promptly correct any inaccuracies upon notification by Company.



Paid Search and Advertising

Partners are strictly prohibited from engaging in paid search or pay-per-click (PPC) advertising that uses Company trademarks, brand names, or variations thereof. Specifically, Partner shall not:

  1. Bid on or purchase keywords containing “Cirrusly Weather,” “Cirrusly,” or any misspellings, variations, or derivatives thereof on any search engine or advertising platform (including but not limited to Google Ads, Microsoft Advertising, and social media advertising platforms).
  2. Bid on or purchase keywords containing manufacturer brand names carried by Cirrusly Weather (including but not limited to “Davis Instruments,” “Davis Vantage,” “TALOS,” “Maximum Weather Instruments,” or “Climalytic”) in connection with affiliate links to Cirrusly Weather.
  3. Use Company trademarks or brand names in ad copy, display URLs, or any other advertising creative elements.
  4. Engage in direct linking (sending paid traffic directly to Cirrusly Weather URLs without an intervening content page).
  5. Use any advertising method that could reasonably cause consumer confusion regarding affiliation with or endorsement by Company.

Permitted Advertising: Partner may engage in paid advertising using generic, non-trademarked terms (e.g., “weather station,” “home weather monitoring,” “best weather instruments”) provided that such advertising directs traffic to Partner’s own content pages (not directly to Cirrusly Weather) and complies with all FTC disclosure requirements.

Violation Consequences: Any violation of this Section shall be considered a material breach. Upon discovery of a violation, Company may (a) immediately suspend Partner’s affiliate account pending investigation, (b) withhold any commissions attributable to paid search traffic, and (c) terminate this Agreement without prior notice. Partner shall provide access to advertising accounts or campaign data upon request to verify compliance.


Trademark Usage

Partner is granted a limited, non-exclusive license to use the “Cirrusly Weather” name and approved logos solely for the purpose of promoting products through the affiliate program. Partner agrees to:

  1. Use only approved logo files provided by the Company (available in the Impact.com creative library).
  2. Maintain clear space around logos and not alter colors, proportions, or design elements.
  3. Not use Company trademarks in domain names, social media handles, or paid search campaigns without prior written approval.
  4. Not make claims, warranties, or representations about products beyond those provided by the Company or product manufacturers.
