Promoting Voucher Codes
It is not permitted for affiliates to promote codes that are not issued via the affiliate channel. Any affiliate found to be promoting a non-authorised code on their site will have the relevant transaction declined and if persistent, their membership to the programme reviewed.
Affiliates must only show the code once the start date has commenced together with the expiry date of the voucher/promotional/discount codes or campaigns as issued by Original Penguin©, always communicating the full offer message and any relevant Terms & Conditions.
Original Penguin© reserves the right to withdraw a voucher code or stop any promotional activity at anytime.
If an exclusive voucher code supplied to a specific affiliate is found to be used by other another affiliate, we reserve the right to withhold payment of commission on any related affiliate sales.
Validation of sales where a voucher code has been used
Original Penguin© reserves the right to decline any sales that have been tracked with an unauthorised voucher code whether this code was promoted on the site or not.
Any affiliates promoting voucher codes must make sure they are displaying only the codes listed above as any other codes used in transactions may result in declined sales.

Affiliates are asked not to register domains which are similar or misspellings of Original Penguin© brand. Any activity of this kind on the campaign will result in commissions being declined.

PPC affiliates applying to the Original Penguin© programme without first discussing their promotion may find that their application is declined.
