The Postal Service may establish affiliations outside of a public affiliation network. These may come from broader agreements or alliances with other entities that include establishing links or they may come from a Postal Service solicitation.
- The Postal Service publishes the affiliation program policy on the USPS.com Web site. We disseminate specific criteria by other appropriate means, including on the Postal Service Web site and in the Commerce Business Daily.
- Eligible merchants, affiliates, and public interest organizations must meet the general criteria in the Merchant, Affiliate, or Public Interest sections of this MI, as applicable, and any specific criteria that the Postal Service makes available.
- Formal linking agreements for any category of link to and from the USPS.com Web site solely shall be required in the event that remuneration, whether in-kind or financial, flows to or from the Postal Service. Such agreements shall set forth standards of payment and, when necessary to determine appropriate payment levels, provide mechanisms for tracking appropriate to the criteria for such payments.
