As a GDI Independent Affiliate you are considered the equivalent of an independent contractor. You may run your own business which may include GDI's products and services along with any other products and services you wish to promote AS long as they are not in direct competition with GDI's products and services. You would be responsible for making sure your business is ran in a professional and ethical manner. Any promotion of GDI's products and services by your company must be done in accordance to GDI's Terms of Service, Independent Affiliate Agreement Terms and Conditions, and Independent Affiliate Policies and Procedures. Any violations of any of the agreements previously mentioned may result in suspension and/or termination of your account. I hope to give my customers discounts if they choose to sign up with GDI. Is this allowed?

NO. Every member should be responsible for registering and maintaining their own account. Am I allowed to charge people to help them build and maintain their sites?
As with any legitimate business, you may charge for services you render to your customers; such as web design. If such is the case, you MUST clearly indicate to your customers that such services and fees are being charged by YOU and not by GDI. You are not an employee of GDI and any guarantees, agreements between you and your customers, or problems that might arise YOU will assume any and all responsibility.Am I, as a GDI affiliate, allowed to say "we offer" in reference to the product that GDI offers? And can I call it, "our product," or refer to myself or my personal company as a member of GDI (e.g. "we at GDI")?
You are a GDI Independent Affiliate, when referencing any of our products and services it must be done in such a manner that there could be no possible misrepresentation of you being a direct employee of GDI.
