T&Cs
These Terms and Conditions are applicable on any advertising platform, including, but not limited to search engines, advertising networks, and social media placements.
Pay Per Click Search Activity
Pay per click (PPC) search activity and brand name bidding is strictly forbidden by Arco.
- Affiliates are requested not to bid on any brand name terms or any derivation or misspelling (broad match or phrase). To avoid broad matching issues, Arco terms should be added as negative search terms across your paid search accounts.
- Affiliates are not permitted to bid on hybrid terms that contain our brand name (including misspells and variations) within paid search activity, such as ‘arco safety equipment’ etc.
- Bidding on any brand names sold by Arco is not permitted.
- Affiliates may not use domain names that contain the Arco brand name (including misspells and variations), any connotations of this brand name, or any domain name that would falsely associate Arco with a third-party website. Example: https://www.arcouk.com/, https://www.arco-safety.co.uk/ etc.
- Affiliates are not permitted to use any of our brand names within their ad copy for paid search activity.
- Affiliates are not permitted to use any of our brand names (including misspells and variations) as a subdomain.
- Affiliates are not permitted to scrape the site to update inventory. Please use the updated data feed for site listings.
- Affiliates are prohibited from bidding on terms that contain links to our direct competitors’ brands.
Product Feed
Arco uploads a daily data feed to the Awin interface that contains the most up-to-date product listings and prices. We request all affiliates to use the most up-to-date pricing on their websites by downloading the feed on a daily basis.
- The feed is to be used for the affiliate's own website and not for use on third-party price comparison sites.
- Affiliates must not submit links to Arco products on Google Shopping – this is a violation of both Arco's and Google's Merchant Centre terms and conditions.
- Offers must be up to date and current. Any affiliate found to be consistently promoting incorrect, out-of-date, or misleading prices will be removed from the Arco affiliate program.
Voucher Codes
- You may only promote affiliate-authorized voucher codes, these can be found in the ‘discount vouchers’ section on Affiliate Window or if agreed with the affiliate manager otherwise no commission will be paid on sales that have used the code. Please do not display on-site any voucher codes that have not been issued to you directly by Arco.
- All promotions must be updated within 48 hours of receiving our communication.
- All websites are requested to remove voucher codes or mark them as expired once an offer has finished.
- The expiry date must be clearly visible if a voucher code has been issued.
General Promotion
- Usage of the Arco name or logo in any email material is not permitted unless approved by the Arco Affiliate Manager.
- Affiliates should only use advertising material and content supplied by Arco or Affiliate Window on behalf of Arco (advertising must be downloaded from the Awin Interface).
- Advertising material must not be edited or modified unless written consent is given from the Arco Affiliate Manager.
- Arco does not pay commission on orders that utilize our third-party finance packages for payment.
- Arco does not pay commission on orders paid using an Arco gift voucher.
- Arco does not pay commission on orders that have been amended, finalized, or placed over the telephone.
- We request affiliates not to hardcode banners into their website so that creative updates can take place.
- Affiliates accept that in becoming an Arco affiliate they will act in a responsible manner that does not bring Arco and any of its associated brands, products, or services into disrepute.
- Affiliates found breaching any of the Terms and Conditions will be served a warning, commission payments may be put on hold, and they may be suspended from the Arco Affiliate program.
The affiliate program is managed by Summit media
