- Affiliates may not submit links to Electrical World's products on Google Shopping – this is a violation of both Electrical World and Google Merchant Centre’s terms and conditions.

Please do not display onsite any voucher codes that have not been issued to you directly by Electrical World (this includes voucher codes that Electrical World may be advertising on site or send out to their email base).
- All promotions must be updated within 48 hours of receiving our communication, failure to do so may lead to you being suspended from the programme.
- All sites are asked to remove voucher codes or mark them as expired once an offer has finished.
- If a voucher code has been issued to an affiliate the expiry date must be clearly visible.
- Voucher Code sites that display the term ‘click here to view voucher/code’ in reference to Electrical World thus implying that they hold a voucher code for the merchant must only do so only if they actually have a valid voucher code.
