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 Claire’s 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 Claire’s brand name in their negative keyword list (thus preventing affiliates appearing on brand + generic keyword searches).
Affiliates must not use the “Claire’s” 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 “Claire’s” 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 “Claire’s” 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 “Claire’s” 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 “Claire’s” 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 Claire’s 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, Claire’s 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.
