KEY POLICIES FOR BOOKING.COM AFFILIATE NETWORK PROGRAM

Online advertising/Keyword Bidding (Effective May 16, 2019)

We write to you regarding the paid search restrictions as set out in our Program terms and conditions agreement(s) or order form (including applicable terms) (as amended) with you.

The European Commission’s recent decision in the Guess case1 found that certain restrictions on online advertising in Guess’s contracts (including bidding restrictions which restricted Guess’s distributors from bidding on the Guess brand name in search engine online advertising auctions such as Google AdWords) breached competition law. In light of this decision and the FTC’s finding in the 1-800 Contacts case2, Booking.com has therefore decided to remove the provisions relating to online marketing (also known as PPC, paid search, SEM or (keyword) bidding restrictions) in the T&Cs (including any (phrase, exact or broad) negative obligations) (if applicable) of the relevant agreement with you or such other clauses as applicable) (hereafter collectively, the “Bidding Restrictions”).

We hereby inform you that we consider (and hereby declare) all Bidding Restrictions (whether applicable to you or to us) in the Agreement to be entirely null and void. This means:

- The restrictions of bidding and linking the ads to publishers' own websites are lifted.

- But high-jacking our ads or direct linking to Booking.com with their ads are not tolerated and will be immediately removed from the program and stopped from commission pay-out. 

The removal and waiver of the Bidding Restrictions will be with immediate effect. Note that the removal of these restrictions do not under any circumstances authorizes publishers to proceed in black hat SEM tactics on our program (direct linking and high-jacking of our ads). 

The Affiliate shall not (directly or indirectly) make the Affiliate Website(s), the Content or the Service available or present the Content, to the Third Party Platforms with the intention or purpose of or by (trying to) mislead(ing), deceive (deceiving), trick(ing) or fool(ing) human editors, computer search engine spiders, web-crawlers or (meta) search engines (including any similar tools or engines) of Third Party Platforms in order to give the Affiliate Website(s) a higher ranking or display when it would not otherwise be displayed or higher ranked if it would not have been using Cloaking or any similar technique or method

 

Website

Prohibiting Conduct:

  1. Publishers cannot register or use a website URL (domain name) containing the Booking.com brand, any Booking.com intellectual property or any misspellings or similar names. For example: words like booking, bookings, priceline, agoda or any misspellings, variants should not be a part of the domain name
  2. NO use of iframes or similar functionality
  3. NO use of toolbars, browser applications and/or extensions that can be knowingly or unknowingly installed on the user’s computer or other devices
  4. Booking.com has the right to suspend partners, and restrict their access to the Booking.com program, if found to be in violation of these terms. The partner’s entitlement to receive payment of commission will not accrue during any period of suspension.

Website content:

  1. Website should not contain any pirated or sexual/adult content, gambling, spyware, malware, virus, or other harmful code
  2. Website should not copy or resemble the look and feel of Booking.com’s website to give an impression that the publisher’s website is a part of Booking.com

 

Cashback Display:

  1. If you’re promoting cashback to your users, please ask for approval.
  2. If you’re then approved, please add the following terms & conditions to the Booking.com Store Page: “Cashback is based on the accommodation rate and does not apply to any taxes, service fees, VAT or other accommodation facility costs (including restaurant and spa). Cashback will be paid out 2 months after you have completed your stay.”
  3. To promote cashback to your users in the UK and European markets, you must request approval and get a written agreement from the Booking.com team, before launching.

Please note: If any of the above policies are violated, Booking.com reserves the right  any publisher and by marking them as ‘fraudulent’ and reject all bookings from them (meaning no commission will be paid for bookings from the publisher)

 

Important notes for Affiliates:

  1. Only 'in-session' transactions are commissionable, we do not use cookie tracking currently.
  2. Commission will be paid out when a customer completes an accommodation booking. No commission will be paid out for other travel verticals on Booking.com (e.g. car rental, attractions, etc).

Program Benefits:

  • 4% commission for each Materialized Transaction; approved upon the completion of such Materialized Transaction
  • Wide selection of creative for you to choose from
  • Dedicated account management team

“Materialized Transaction” means a reservation enabled by Booking.com that has resulted in the actual provision of accommodation (as confirmed to Booking.com by the supplier of the accommodation) and receipt by Booking.com of commission from that supplier. It excludes fraudulent reservations, which is a reservation: (a) which was made for the purpose of deriving benefit other than the standard benefit offered by the accommodation supplier  (typically the use of a hotel room, vehicle or other travel related service or amenity); (b) which was made as a result of Partner’s breach of these terms; (c) for which an invalid, stolen or otherwise unauthorized credit card or payment information has been used; or (d) for which a card holder fraudulently initiated a chargeback.

Please note that whilst all offerings of Booking.com are tracked (Accommodations, Attractions, Car Rental, Flights, Rides), commission will ONLY be paid for accommodation reservations, so therefore all other products WILL NOT receive commission.   

 

Important notes for Affiliates:

  • Only 'in-session' transactions are commissionable.
