Ashadee welcomes anyone to become Advertiser. However, we have our own policy and we
only accept products that meet our requirements. For more information on accepted products,
please refer to our policy here:
http://www.ashadee.com/legal/vendors/
If you do not meet the requirements, then we cannot offer you Advertiser account. If your
product is acceptable, then please follow this guide to setup your website and submit your
website to us for evaluation.

Preparation to Submit Your Website

Before you submit a product for approval, please make sure you follow all the guidelines to
prepare your product and website for inclusion in the Ashadee marketplace:
1. Signup for a free Ashadee account at
http://www.ashadee.com/signup/
to get your
username. With this username, you can also participate in Ashadee as a Publisher or
Buyer, besides being a Advertiser.
2. Make sure that your product complies with our Vendor and Product Policy as mentioned
above. If you are not sure about our policy or need clarification, please email
help@ashadee.com for clarification.
3. Make sure your product is complete and ready to be sold. Do not submit products that
are incomplete or in progress.
4. Make sure that your product is original, or you own the rights to sell it. Additional
documentation may be required where applicable.
5. Make sure your product has obtained all the necessary legal documentation and
certificates (especially health products) to be sold in Malaysia.
6. Please make sure that you are operating under a legal company registered with
Suruhanjaya Syarikat Malaysia or SSM.

Page 5

7. Make sure your website is on your own domain name and hosting, and not a free

BlogSpot blog or free website. We strongly feel that anyone who cannot invest the small
sum of money to get their own domain name and hosting is not truly serious about
owning an e-commerce business.

Refunds and Money Back Guarantee

You may choose not to mention any kind of money back guarantee in your landing page.
However, if you mention any kind of money back guarantee, it must match the standard money
back guarantee terms of Ashadee:

guarantee.
