Brand Bidding
Jones Bootmaker reserves the right to permanently remove any affiliate partners and/or publishers from the Jones Bootmaker Awin affiliate program, should they be proven to be ‘brand bidding’.
‘Brand bidding’ is defined as using keywords, triggering search results for Jones Bootmaker branded keywords and/or any Jones related keywords e.g. Jones Bootmaker, Jones Shoes, Jones Boots etc. (but not exclusively the afore mentioned terms) to drive traffic to the any of the Jones Bootmaker websites (jonesbootmaker.com & us.jonesbootmaker.com).
Should any affiliate and or publisher be proven to have been using Jones Bootmaker branded keywords and/or any Jones related keywords to drive traffic to the any of the Jones websites mentioned above, then Jones Bootmaker will enforce a 3-strike rule.
The ‘3 strike rule’ is defined as follows; whereby a member of the Jones Bootmaker Affiliate team will contact any affiliate as and when Jones deems any affiliate and/or publisher has been ‘brand bidding’, every time an instance of ‘brand bidding’ arises. On the third occurrence of proven ‘brand bidding’, the affiliate and/or publisher in question will then be removed from the Jones Bootmaker Awin program indefinitely. On each occurrence of brand bidding we flag, we will also make the affiliate and or publisher aware of what number ‘strike’ it is, so they'll know how many instances left until they’re removed.
Jones Bootmaker will be conducting regular surveys of affiliate and/or publisher activity and will, in addition, be using 3rd party ‘brand bidding’ software to identify any affiliate and/or publisher that Jones Bootmaker deem to be ‘brand bidding’.
Jones Bootmaker also reserves the right to evaluate and review the reinstatement of any affiliates and/or publishers (on a case-by-case basis) that have subsequently been removed from the Jones Bootmaker Awin program due to ‘brand bidding’.
Sub Affiliates “Sub Network Jumping”
In cases where we spot an affiliate under a sub network continuously violating our program T&Cs (brand bidding, promoting unauthorised codes etc..) we will most likely ask the Sub Network to remove them from promoting our brand. In some instances, we have then spotted these publishers moving to another Sub Network to continue this activity after being caught out. In these cases, we reserve the right to contact Sub Networks individually or in bulk to warn them of these affiliates and ask them to not allow them to promote our program.
