Validating pending orders

Exclusive deals / voucher codes
We are always looking for ways to engage new audiences. If you would like an exclusive or tailored code or offer please get in touch with the awin Carphone Warehouse team
Sales generated on exclusive deals or exclusive voucher codes created for other channels/affiliates will be declined.

- After the order has been validated (approved)
- Within 2 months of the order being approved.
Please do not raise transaction queries before the order in question has been approved. Claims for orders which have not tracked at all should be raised within 2 months of the initial order date.

If there is no room to display the messaging, due to your website layout or technical restrictions, there is an exception for those situations where multiple product listings are displayed, together, on a web-page. In such instances, you can link each price to a single CPI statement as long as the statement is prominent and visible, at all times, without having to scroll down the page.
