These terms and conditions apply to the partnership between MARC INBANE (hereafter: "the brand") and the affiliate.
By participating in the affiliate program, the affiliate automatically accepts these terms and conditions.
1. Approval of Marketing Activities
Participation in the affiliate program does not grant automatic permission to promote the brand. Written approval is required for:

2. Liability and Breach
In case of a breach of these terms:

If third parties are involved in promotional activities:
- The affiliate is fully responsible for their actions.
- The affiliate must obtain prior written approval from the brand for their marketing activities.
- Any losses, costs, or damages caused by third parties will be fully borne by the affiliate and not the brand.
This rule is paramount. If the affiliate has made other agreements with a third party, our rule will still take precedence.

The following practices are strictly prohibited under any circumstances:
- Use of bots, fraudulent software, click fraud, or other deceptive techniques.
- Cookie stuffing, spoofing, or scraping.
Violation will result in:
