Tiny Prints New York Affiliate Compliance Form

As a response to recently enacted legislation by New York State (Tax Law Section 1101(b)(8)(vi)) which may make Tiny Prints liable for sales tax from New York resident affiliates, Tiny Prints now requires that all affiliates who are New York state residents agree to the following restrictions on solicitation activities. They must also complete our annual certification form, which is next due on May 1st, 2010.

If you are a New York resident, please make sure you review the following and adjust your practices accordingly. New York affiliates who do not return the certification form in a timely manner will be removed from the program.

As a condition of participation in the Tiny Prints Affiliate Program, Affiliate agrees that solicitation activities on behalf of Tiny Prints within the state of New York shall be limited to only providing a link on Affiliate's website to the Tiny Prints website. Affiliate acknowledges that under current New York State law, further solicitation and promotional activities by Affiliate within New York State may subject Tiny Prints to liability for collecting New York State sales tax on all sales to New York customers. Therefore, as a condition of participation in the Tiny Prints Affiliate Program, Affiliate is prohibited from engaging in any solicitation activities in New York State intended to refer potential customers to Tiny Prints, including, but not limited to: (i ) distributing flyers, coupons, newsletters and other printed materials, or electronic equivalents of such materials; (ii) engaging in verbal solicitation, including in-person referrals or initiating telephone calls; and (iii) sending emails intended to refer customers to Tiny Prints. Proof of compliance must be sent to Tiny Prints on an annual basis (by May 31 of each year) or affiliate may be removed from the program.

Any Affiliates that constitute organizations, clubs and nonprofit groups shall maintain prominently on its website information alerting its members to the prohibition against solicitation activities in New York State as described above
