Program Rules, Approval and Restrictions
Guidelines and limitations you need to follow when promoting AutoCAD Civil 3D
SOCIAL MEDIA ALLOWED | |
EMAIL MARKETING ALLOWED | |
PPC ALLOWED | |
Trademark Bidding | |
GEOGRAPHIC RESTRICTIONS | Autodesk describes the global program as allowing promotion across geographies and says it accepts applications from many countries. Regional implementations differ: CJ is presented as the global network, while afb, AccessTrade, and LinkPrice appear on Japan/Korea regional pages. The referral-partner page separately warns that some partner programs may not be available in all regions. Country eligibility, tax documentation, and product availability must be checked during network application. |
COUPON SITE ALLOWED | |
TRAFFIC MINIMUMS | None publicly stated. Autodesk explicitly says there is no minimum sale requirement; it does not publish a minimum monthly visitor, subscriber, or conversion threshold. |
- Approval process
- Manual approval. Applicants must apply through CJ Affiliate or the relevant regional network, provide information about their promotional methods, and comply with Autodesk's affiliate-program guidelines. Autodesk states that joining is free, there is no minimum sale requirement, and affiliates may promote more than one website under one affiliate account. The public pages do not state a required business registration, audience size, publishing history, or mandatory website ownership standard.
- Other restrictions
- Affiliates must follow Autodesk's program guidelines and accurately represent Autodesk products. Autodesk requires disclosure of promotional methods during application. Commission applies to the discounted net product price, not tax or shipping. The reviewed public pages do not publish the complete prohibited-practice list, so trademark use, paid search, couponing, incentives, software-download sites, unauthorized brand bidding, and misleading claims require confirmation in the current CJ terms before use.
