1. Introduction
Welcome to Sports-Mart.online (“we,” “our,” or “us”). These Affiliate Terms (“Terms”) govern your use of our website and the affiliate marketing relationships we maintain with third-party retailers, including but not limited to Amazon.com, Inc. and its affiliates (“Amazon”).
By accessing or using Sports-Mart.online, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, please discontinue use of our website immediately.
2. Affiliate Program Participation
2.1 Amazon Associates Program
Sports-Mart.online is a participant in the Amazon Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for websites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com, Amazon.in, Amazon.co.uk, and other Amazon international marketplaces.
2.2 Other Affiliate Programs
In addition to Amazon, we may participate in affiliate programs with other sports equipment retailers, brands, and service providers. These relationships will be disclosed in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
2.3 Independent Relationship
Our participation in affiliate programs does not imply endorsement by Amazon or any other retailer of the content published on Sports-Mart.online. We operate as an independent entity.
3. How Affiliate Links Work
3.1 Definition of Affiliate Links
Affiliate links are special URLs that contain a unique tracking code. When you click on an affiliate link on our website and make a qualifying purchase on the linked retailer’s website, we may earn a commission.
3.2 Tracking and Cookies
Affiliate links typically use browser cookies to track referrals. The duration of these cookies varies by program:
- Amazon Associates: 24-hour cookie window (purchases made within 24 hours of clicking)
- Other programs: Cookie durations vary and are determined by the respective affiliate program
3.3 No Additional Cost to You
The price you pay for any product or service remains exactly the same whether you use our affiliate link or visit the retailer’s website directly. Our commissions are paid by the retailer, not by you.
4. Commission Structure and Earnings
4.1 Variable Commission Rates
Commission rates vary by product category and affiliate program. For Amazon Associates, commission rates are set by Amazon and are subject to change at any time without notice. Current rates typically range from 1% to 10% depending on the product category.
4.2 Qualifying Purchases
Not all purchases result in affiliate commissions. A “qualifying purchase” is determined by the respective affiliate program’s terms. Generally, this excludes:
- Returns and refunds
- Cancelled orders
- Gift card purchases
- Certain restricted product categories
- Purchases made by the affiliate themselves
4.3 Payment to Sports-Mart.online
All affiliate commissions are paid directly to Sports-Mart.online by the respective affiliate programs. We do not collect payments from our users or readers.

- Prices are subject to change without notice
- Product availability may vary by region and time
- Images may not always reflect the exact product variant

While we make every effort to ensure accuracy, Sports-Mart.online does not guarantee that product information, pricing, or availability displayed on our website is always current, complete, or error-free.
