Discount/Voucher Codes
Only codes that are supplied to affiliates by Kickers are valid for affiliate use. Any codes that are found to be displayed on sites that are non-approved will result in commissions being declined. Please make sure any URL strings you grab from the Kickers site are placed into the deep link generator via your own affiliate account that the URL does not contain any additional tracking information/tags as this will cause the link to not track correctly.

Kickers will not accept returns for personalised goods which have the incorrect spelling at the time of order confirmation. If the error is due to Kickers we will exchange or refund the goods in line with our return’s procedure.

Kickers reserve the right to refuse an inspection if the products are returned in a state unfit for handling. Full refunds will be given if goods are found to be faulty or damaged.
Trademark Guidelines
In these Terms and Conditions no licence has been granted to use any trade mark of Kickers (Airborne Footwear Limited) or its affiliated companies including, without limitation, the trademarks Kickers or kickers.co.uk or confusingly similar names.
1. Bidding directly or indirectly for any brand name featuring Kickers trademarks or any similar trademarks, misspellings or derivatives of the trade marks. This applies to all search engines.
2. Using Kickers trademarks, trademark misspellings or similar variations in the written copy on adverts, including on pay-per-click adverts in search engines.
3. As part of the main domain that would mislead the consumer to believe that the website is part of Kickers International Limited, for example, www.kickersdomain.com, however it will be possible to use www.domain.com/Kickers (however, this is not for use as a display URL within listings on paid search within search engines, for example, Google. or in an email address).
4. Using www.kickers.co.uk as the display URL in Google, or any other paid performance website or generally misleading the consumer into believing the advertisement is from the official www.kickers.co.uk website. This includes all paid performance keywords.
5. For the purpose of diverting customers to websites not owned by Airborne Footwear Limited or to give priority to websites not owned by Airborne Footwear Limited over the website www.kickers.co.uk.

7. Registering any URLs that include any of Kickers trademarks, or any version that could be mistaken for an official website of Airborne Footwear Limited.
8. Using Kickers creatives in pop-up or pop-under windows, or to link to any website of Kickers by embedding them in an iframe from the website of the affiliate. It should also be clear to consumers that by clicking on the links of the website owned by Airborne Footwear Limited they have left the website of the affiliate and are now on a website owned by Kickers (Airborne Footwear Limited) and that the URL should not be masked in any way.
9. Publishers must seek approval before taking/scrapping content from the kickers.co.uk site.
10. Using "add to favourite" campaigns that would mislead consumers to think that they are bookmarking a website of Kickers, when in fact they are bookmarking the website of the affiliate / third party.
