Terms and Conditions
We want to set realistic expectations for our affiliate partners and are entirely transparent on the restrictions in place.
Some affiliates gain traffic using pay-per-click advertising through search engines. These affiliates are welcome on the QHotels programme, providing they adhere to the Terms and Conditions set out below. QHotels also runs PPC campaigns and consequently we've set up guidelines to ensure that we're not bidding against the same keywords. As such, the following terms apply:
1. Generic keywords. QHotels affiliates are welcome to bid on generic keywords.
2. Using the QHotels brand in PPC ads. You may not refer to QHotels in the title or body of your advertising.
3. Direct linking. Direct linking to www.QHotels.co.uk is strictly forbidden, as is the use of URL redirection to the QHotels site.
4. Brand bidding. Brand bidding is prohibited. This includes misspellings and variations of QHotels, i.e. Q Hotels, Q-Hotels, etc.
5. Bidding on specific hotels. Bidding on specific hotel names (and variations) is also forbidden. This includes:
Westerwood Hotel & Golf Resort, Aldwark Manor Golf & Spa Hotel, The Midland Hotel, The Park Royal, The Queens Hotel, Tankersley Manor, Crewe Hall, Forest Pines Hotel & Gold Resort, The Nottingham Belfry, Chesford Grange, The Cambridge Belfry, Stratford Manor, Telford Hotel & Golf Resort, Hellidon Lakes Golf & Spa Hotel, The Stratford, Hampshire Court Hotel, Bridgewood Manor, Ashford International Hotel, Cheltenham Chase Hotel, Oxford Belfry, Norton Park, Oulton Hall, Mottram Hall, Dunston Hall, Belton Woods, Slaley Hall
Please note that these guidelines are published to ensure that there is complete clarity as to the activity permitted on the QHotels programme. We are always on hand to answer any questions, so please do not hesitate to get in touch if anything is unclear.
Please also be aware that the QHotels policy is to withhold commission if any affiliate contravenes these rules. Any partner that repeatedly breaks the rules will be removed from the programme.
6. Transaction Queries. Please include the name of the hotel booked and a correct QH booking reference, where possible, in any transaction queries that you upload as we need this information to ensure that we can check transactions for the correct hotel. If this is not included, the transaction query may be declined.
7. Any affiliate bookings made for Cameron House will be declined. We do not feature Cameron House as a property available to affiliates.
8. Please note we only except bookings online and will only pay commission to bookings made online and not via our Central Booking Team via the telephone.
