Coupon Usage Policy
To ensure a positive brand experience and protect the integrity of our promotional campaigns, we require all affiliate partners to adhere to the following guidelines regarding coupon use:
Approved Codes Only
Affiliates may only promote coupon codes that have been provided directly by DefenderShield through the affiliate platform or via written permission. Use of unauthorized or scraped codes is strictly prohibited.
No Code Guessing or Generation
Affiliates must not attempt to guess or auto-generate coupon codes, nor promote codes found through browser extensions, customer support interactions, or private campaigns.
No Misleading Offers
Affiliates may not advertise expired, misleading, or inflated discount claims. All coupon content must accurately reflect the current promotion.
Coupon Extensions & Bots
If you operate or submit content to browser extensions (e.g., Honey, Capital One Shopping, etc.), you must disclose this in your application. We reserve the right to restrict or deny commissions from coupon extensions to prevent misuse or misattribution.
Last-Click Attribution Rules
Coupon affiliates who appear in the final click before purchase may be evaluated for incremental value. Commissions may be adjusted or denied if attributed sales are not deemed additive to the conversion process.
Right to Remove or Deny Payout
DefenderShield reserves the right to remove any affiliate from the program and deny commissions for violations of this policy or activity deemed harmful to the brand.
