These Advertiser-Specific Terms (“Terms”) apply to participation in the Hide & Scratch affiliate program (“Program”) on the Awin network and supplement Awin’s Network Policies and Publisher Agreement (collectively, the “Awin Terms”). By joining the Program, you (“Publisher”) agree to these Terms and the Awin Terms. If a conflict exists, these Terms control for the Hide & Scratch Program.

Program is open to content, review, loyalty/cashback, and selected coupon publishers. Browser extensions, toolbars, and coupon aggregators require explicit written approval.

We may approve, decline, or remove any Publisher at our sole discretion, including for brand misalignment, poor user experience, or policy violations.

Publishers must maintain accurate account and contact details in Awin.

Tracking: Awin tracking only. Self-hosted pixels or third-party redirects are not permitted.

Attribution model: Last click within Awin wins, unless otherwise specified in your Awin profile.

Cookie window: 30 days click-to-sale (unless our Awin profile lists a different tenure).

De-duplication: Orders may be de-duplicated against other paid channels or internal programs when applicable.

Commission rates are those listed in Awin and may vary by product, campaign, or publisher type.

We validate transactions monthly and may reverse commissions for: cancellations/returns, fraud, duplicate/merchant-test orders, customer service concessions, order manipulation, or breach of these Terms/Awin Terms.

We may adjust rate cards, program rules, or pause the Program at any time via Awin.

Strictly prohibited without prior written approval:

Bidding on our brand or misspellings: “Hide & Scratch”, “Hide and Scratch”, “HideandScratch”, “Hide & Scratch box(es)”, brand + SKU, and any variations, including broad/phrase/exact match and in dynamic search ads.

Using our brand in ad copy, display URLs, or as a subdomain (e.g., hideandscratch.yourdomain.com).

Purchasing competitors’ trademarks to land users on pages that primarily promote our brand is also prohibited.

Only coupons/promo codes explicitly provided in Awin are allowed. Unlisted or expired codes are forbidden.

“Click-to-reveal” patterns that auto-redirect without user intent are not allowed.

No code-guessing, scraping, or posting gated/employee coupons.

Loyalty/cashback sites must clearly disclose reward mechanics. Cookie forcing, auto-activation, or auto-redirect toolbars/extensions are prohibited.

Extensions (coupon/loyalty/cashback) must not auto-inject, overwrite other channels’ sessions, or pop on non-merchant pages; require user-initiated action on our site and our prior written approval.

All promotions must be truthful, current, and price-accurate. Use the pricing shown on our site at time of posting; remove or update outdated offers within 24 hours upon notice.

FTC/ASA/State disclosure is required on every page/post/video (e.g., “This post contains affiliate links and I may earn a commission.”). Non-compliance may result in reversal and removal.

No spam, forced clicks, cookie stuffing, adware/malware, fake reviews, AI-generated deception, or impersonation of Hide & Scratch.

Email marketing requires opt-in lists and compliance with CAN-SPAM; do not represent yourself as Hide & Scratch.

Social posts must follow the platform’s paid partnership/affiliate rules and include visible disclosures.

No pixel piggybacking, fingerprinting, or device graphing. Retargeting lists built from Program traffic may not be sold or shared.

Program focus is the United States. Geo-target non-US audiences only if our Awin profile lists eligible countries and pricing.

Major placements, newsletters, homepage tiles, or sitewide events require pre-approval (please submit via Awin messaging with dates, slots, and audience size).

If you discover tracking or pricing issues, notify us promptly via Awin.
