Please read these terms and conditions carefully.
Questions should be directed to marketing@akindstore.com
1. Agreement
These terms are between you (the affiliate) and the brand.
Where a delegated authority is assigned, that party is not bound to either you or the brand but may act on behalf of the brand to enforce these terms.
Any disputes are solely between you and the brand. You may not take action against the delegated authority.
The delegated authority for this programme is The Affiliate Marketing Agency, The Affiliate Marketing Advisor Limited, which has consented to act on behalf of the brand.
2. Programme Acceptance
By joining this Affiliate Marketing Programme, you agree to the following:
Your acceptance does not grant immediate permission to begin marketing. You must first obtain written consent by providing a detailed overview of your marketing plan, including:
- How you intend to promote the brand
- The duration of your campaign
- Who will be involved and a primary contact
- All platforms and environments where marketing will appear
- Ad copy, images, and video content
- Target audiences and demographics
- GDPR compliance (where applicable)
Any other information ensuring full transparency
No marketing activity may begin until written approval is granted.
3. Breaches and Remedies
Any breach of these terms will result in:
- Decline of all pending commissions
Reversal of approved commissions
Return of any commissions already paid
You will bear the cost and responsibility of remedying any breach. - You waive the right to legally challenge a breach or seek support from the Affiliate Network.
- You acknowledge that no marketing or promotion of any kind may occur without written consent from the brand or its delegated authority.
Programme acceptance alone is not consent.
4. Marketing Standards
You are solely responsible for ensuring all marketing meets the brand’s standards. You must:
- Understand and adhere to the brand’s marketing guidelines
Obtain written approval for all materials before publishing
Never rely on your own marketing standards in place of the brand’s
Acceptance into the programme does not imply that your marketing automatically meets brand standards.
5. Agreements and Liability
Insertion Orders (IOs), written agreements, and contracts are between you and the brand. If a third party (e.g., agency or consultant) helps facilitate the agreement, they bear no liability for any terms or breaches.
6. Transaction Disputes
Dispute claims must include written evidence supporting their validity. Claims without documentation will be declined.
Disputes must be raised within 5 working days after a sale is declined; after this period, no claims will be accepted.
You accept that the brand’s judgment on sales is final and made in good faith.
7. Representation
You must represent the brand with care, diligence, and professionalism. You may not portray the brand in any way that could harm its reputation.
If you work with third parties, you are fully liable for their actions. You must ensure they:
- Follow these terms in full
Are disclosed to the brand or delegated authority before publishing any materials
Have all content pre-approved
Any breach or damages caused by third parties remain your sole responsibility.
8. Prohibited Practices
You may not use or engage in:

Repayment of funds in full, without time limitation
No right to contest or seek legal remedy
If uncertain, seek consent before taking action.

Use of toolbars, scraping software, or any harvesting of codes/incentives is strictly prohibited.
10. Samples and Gifts
If you receive samples, gifts, or services, you must create favourable promotional activity within 14 days. Failure to do so will result in a charge of the RRP value, payable within 1 working day upon request.
11. Sales Promotions, Vouchers & Incentive Codes
We do not provide sales promotions, vouchers, coupons, or any form of incentive codes.
Cashback marketing may not use coupons, vouchers, or incentive codes without prior written consent.
Affiliates engaging in cashback activities are responsible for preventing fraud and covering any associated losses.
Any voucher, coupon, or incentive-based promotion requires written approval in advance.
12. Content and Reviews
Reviews or written content must not portray the brand negatively without prior consent.
13. Email and Data Compliance
Email campaigns must only use GDPR-compliant data. Data must come from double opt-in sources and never involve incentives. You bear full responsibility for non-compliance, including any fines, damages, or penalties.
14. Advertising Restrictions
- Pay-per-click (PPC): Bidding on the brand’s terms, abbreviations, or misspellings is forbidden without written consent.
Display ads: Require prior approval of assets, copy, targeting, and placement details.
Comparison and aggregation: Must use accurate product data, pricing, and imagery. - Shopping ads (Google, Bing, CSS): Require written approval and may not include brand terms without consent.
All marketing activities not explicitly covered here must receive written approval before launch.
15. Consent
Consent is only valid in writing and applies only to the specific approved marketing instance.
- Each new campaign or asset requires new written consent.
- Lack of enforcement does not imply consent.
- The brand may enforce terms at any time.
16. Insertion Orders and Payments
All media activations require signed IOs. No other form of agreement is binding.
Invoices must be submitted within 90 days after the media activity ends. Invoices submitted after 90 days will be refused.
Payments are between the publisher and the brand only. No other party is liable for any payment or agreement.
17. General
Misspellings, grammatical errors, or ambiguity in these terms cannot be used as grounds for breach justification.
When in doubt, seek clarification before acting.
