  2. bid on the ‘Guoman.com’ brand terms, or any of their misspellings (this applies to Guoman trademarks and misspellings in all languages/Guoman trademarks and misspellings translated to any language), on any of the search engines that currently operate web services; a non-exhaustive list of possible derivatives of the brand term are: Guoman.com Guoman Guoman.com Www. Guoman.com Guoman com www Guoman com www Guoman www.Guoman Guoman dot com Guomandotcom Guoman .com uk Guoman.c Gouman Gouman.com www.Gouman.com Guoman co Guomancouk Guoman.co.uk www.Guoman.co.uk Guoman uk
  3. use the Guoman.com brand terms to perform paid search activity across any search engines that operates web services and to that effect, Affiliates must add the ‘Guoman.com’ brand terms and misspellings as stated above as above as negative matches to their PPC campaigns. A negative match needs to be setup on both exact and broad match terms.
  4. use the brand term “Guoman.com” or its derivatives in the Affiliate's ad text for driving traffic from Guoman Hotels’ competitors' brand terms to Guoman Hotels’s site nor the affiliate's sites.
  5. drive paid or unpaid traffic from search engines directly to Guoman Hotels pages or the Guoman.com site overall. The affiliate has to use their own sites for traffic from search engines. For the avoidance of doubt, the above restrictions or the specific terms of agreement regarding authorised PPC activity shall supersede any conflicting provision that may be found in any section of this Agreement.
