- We do not work with coupon/deal sites and will decline any transactions placed on a discount site, citing it as a violation of our PPC terms.
- Any affiliates who do not abide by these rules do risk having their commissions set to zero and possible suspension.
- We reserve the right to withhold payment of commission if unauthorised voucher codes are used in an affiliate sale.
- We appreciate that consumers may use voucher codes that they have found via a site other than that which is awarded the sale and this will be investigated before decisions on commission payment are made.
- Any affiliate found to be displaying unauthorised codes may also have their commission set to zero until the code(s) are removed.
- 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.
