Transactions
This programme operates on a 90-day cookie period and commission is paid (excluding VAT and PP) on the final transaction amount after all discounts have been applied.
There is a 90-day cookie window for customers to make a purchase. Commission is only paid on the first order and not subsequent orders in the 90-day period.
Exclusions
Flight upgrades are not eligible for commission.
Sales validation
All sales will be validated after bookings are paid in full and tour departs. Sales will be validated to ensure that no fraudulent or unauthorised sales are apparent. All fraudulent or unauthorised sales will result in commission being declined.
Use of voucher codes
Affiliates may only promote codes that are provided through the Travelsphere affiliate programme.
Any unauthorised voucher codes or offers that are promoted will result in commission not being paid.
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 date unless you are advised otherwise.
Any affiliates displaying expired codes without marking them as being expired may be suspended from the programme.
All voucher code activity must be conducted in line with the IAB code of conduct.
Travelsphere reserves the right to suspend any affiliates that are in breach of this conduct.
Email marketing campaigns
Affiliates promoting Travelsphere through email marketing must contact the Affiliate Team for sign-off.
Use of trademark
Affiliates must respect the intellectual property rights of Travelsphere. These rights include trademarks and service marks, copyright and related rights, trade names and domain names, rights to goodwill or to use in passing off and rights in confidential information.
If an affiliate infringes these rights, they may be removed from the programme and forfeit any commissions.
Social media campaigns
Affiliates must not promote themselves on our Travelsphere Twitter or Facebook pages, blogs or any other social media pages.
XML feed
Affiliates using the XML feed must hotlink to images NOT copy them on to their own server. Page & Moy Travel Group is not liable for any fines incurred by misuse of images.
CTI number allocation
CTI Numbers will only be allocated to affiliates that have delivered a certain level of performance on the programme. If an affiliate is delivering a strong number of online sales, we will allocate them a CTI number.
Cashback, Vouchercode and loyalty-based sites will not be given CTI numbers.
Any site attempting to display a CTI number that exploits Travelsphere organic or paid search traffic will be removed from the programme immediately.
Affiliates that are allocated CTI numbers will have a mini performance review every 90 days to ensure that an adequate number of sales are being generated.
Paid search
These Terms and Conditions are applicable on any ad platform, including, but not limited to, search engines, content networks and social networking ad placements.
Affiliates are NOT permitted to bid on Travelsphere brand and all its variations. Affiliates found not complying with the policy will be removed from the program and their commission will not be paid. The brand bidding rules are as follows:
Affiliates must include the Travelsphere brand name in their negative keyword list (thus preventing affiliates appearing on brand + generic keyword searches).
Affiliates must not use the “Travelsphere” brand names, brand misspellings or similar variations in the written copy of adverts on PPC (Pay Per Click) search engines.
Affiliates must not use the “Travelsphere” brand name, brand name misspelling or similar variations as keyword or keyword phrases for the purpose of targeting adverts on PPC search engines.
Affiliates must not use the “Travelsphere” brand name, brand name misspelling or similar variations as a display URL or destination URL for the purpose of targeting adverts on PPC search engines.
Affiliates must not use the “Travelsphere” brand name, brand name misspelling or similar variations in any domain names or subdomains.
Affiliates must not create another website representing themselves or passing themselves off as being “Travelsphere” or taking any action which is likely to confuse or mislead third parties to believe that such partner site is the “client”.
Anyone found infringing these terms will be contacted by the Travelsphere Affiliate Team. Please note anyone in breach of the T&Cs may have their commissions declined and face suspension from the programme. In extreme circumstances, Travelsphere reserves the right to immediately suspend any affiliates found in breach of these terms and conditions, declining any commissions accrued from the activity.
Terms & Conditions will be reviewed periodically. We will notify affiliates of any changes.
