Please note the below rules in relation to the Globaldata affiliate programme. They must be followed at all times, unless prior agreement has been made with Globaldata in writing.

Affiliates must not purchase or own any domain names related to the trademark terms and its variants in the URL. For example, www.globaldata-pt.com.

PPC
We invest heavily in search engine advertising and we, therefore, impose the below restrictions. Any infringement of these rules may see the affiliate suspended and all commissions removed.
Affiliates are not permitted to bid on any trademarked brand terms related to "Globaldata". For the avoidance of doubt, this includes all mis-spellings and variations.
For the avoidance of doubt, no unauthorised bidding is allowed on trademark brand + discount-related search terms. For example, "Globaldata discount codes"
Affiliates cannot directly link to the Globaldata website
Affiliates may not use the below words in their adverts:
"Authorised"
"Official"
"Recommended"
Affiliates are not permitted to have any Google shopping activity live using Globaldata products and name.
Discount Codes
We reserve the right to withhold payment of commission if unauthorised voucher codes are used in an affiliate sale. We appreciate that consumers may use voucher codes that they have found via a site other than that which is awarded the sale and this will be investigated before decisions on commission payment are made. Any affiliate found to be displaying unauthorised codes may also have their commission set to zero until the code(s) are removed. Globaldata follow a de-duping validation process, whereby rewarding the commission to the "last click" of purchase.
Where voucher codes are issued with an expiry date this should be clearly displayed, and codes should be removed or explicitly marked as expired after this due date unless you are advised otherwise. Any affiliates displaying expired codes without marking them as being expired may be suspended from the programme. Please also ensure that you observe IAB voucher code best practice guidelines.
