Welcome to the James Gin UK Affiliate Programme. We’re excited to have you on board!
By joining, you agree to follow the Terms & Conditions below. These are here to make sure everything runs smoothly and fairly for everyone. We may update these T&Cs from time to time. If we make significant changes, we’ll let you know.
Eligibility & Membership
Every affiliate application is reviewed before acceptance. We look at brand fit and audience alignment.
Affiliates who remain inactive for 6 months may be contacted to review the partnership, and may be removed if no activity continues.
Commission is paid only on validated UK orders (excluding VAT and delivery).
You must disclose all websites and channels you use to promote James Gin. Adding new ones later? Please let us know first.
Use of Brand & Creative
We love seeing James Gin promoted creatively — but there are a few important ground rules:
- You cannot register usernames, handles, domains, or accounts containing “James Gin”, “James May”, or confusingly similar variations (e.g. jamesgin.com, jamesmayoffers).
- You cannot make, publish or communicate any disparaging or defamatory comments, whether written or oral, concerning James Gin or James May in any form of media.
- You may not use the James Gin or James May names, trademarks, or logos as your avatar, profile image, or branding.
- You may not bid on James Gin or James May brand terms (or misspellings) in PPC advertising, or use them in ad copy, display URLs, or domains.
- Affiliates must not suggest or imply that they are James May, represent James May personally, or are an official spokesperson for James Gin outside of the affiliate relationship.
- All creative (banners, logos, links) must be sourced from the affiliate network (Awin). Please don’t alter them or hardcode banners — this ensures updates flow through.
- Bespoke creative is available on request.
- Copy should come directly from the James Gin site or be approved by our affiliate team.
Promotional Guidelines
We encourage social media promotion, but it must be clear when you’re using affiliate links. Either disclose clearly, or direct users to your own site first before they reach James Gin.
Redirects that hide your site completely are not permitted.
Submitting product feeds to Google Product Search is not allowed (per Google’s policies).
Email campaigns promoting James Gin must be submitted to the affiliate team for approval before sending.
Voucher & Discount Codes
Only voucher/discount codes issued or authorised by James Gin can be used.
Voucher code terms and conditions must always be displayed clearly.
Expired codes must be removed or marked as expired.
Affiliates promoting unauthorised or expired codes may have commissions withheld.
Using another affiliate’s exclusive code is not allowed and may result in suspension.
Confidentiality
Please don’t share campaign details or promotions before they’re live on our site or approved by the James Gin team.
Breaches of confidentiality will result in suspension and loss of commissions.
Payment of Commission
Commission is validated once the 30-day window has passed. This means sales are usually approved or declined around 6 weeks after purchase.
Commission is paid monthly, dependent on validation timing and programme payment status.
If these T&Cs are breached, James Gin reserves the right to withhold commission.
Compliance & Ethics
Affiliates must always comply with applicable laws, advertising regulations, and data protection rules.
Sites promoting James Gin must not include offensive, illegal, or inappropriate content.
Affiliates engaging in fraudulent behaviour (e.g., cookie stuffing, fake traffic, incentivised clicks) will be removed from the Programme, and commissions may be forfeited.
Influencer networks and subnetworks must provide a breakdown of publishers on request. Lack of transparency may lead to removal.
Technical Terms
Cookie period: 30 days.
Interference with tracking or manipulation of cookies is strictly prohibited.
Termination
You may leave the Programme at any time — just let us know.
James Gin may suspend or terminate your participation at any time, with or without notice, if:
- You breach these T&Cs.
- You misuse the James Gin or James May names, brand, or likeness.
- You engage in unethical, fraudulent, or non-brand-safe behaviour.
- Your activity no longer aligns with our brand values.
Any commissions pending at the time of termination may be withheld if they relate to a breach of these T&Cs.
Legal Liability
James Gin is not responsible for any losses, loss of income, or damage caused by downtime, tracking issues, or other errors beyond our control.
Our maximum liability under these T&Cs will not exceed the total commission paid to you in the 6 months prior to any claim.
