    Affiliate Terms of Service

    Last updated: December 2024

    These Affiliate Terms of Service ("Agreement") govern participation in the [Company Name] Affiliate Program ("Affiliate Program"). The Affiliate Program is operated by [Company Name] Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales under company number [Company Number], with its registered office at [Registered Address] ("we", "us", "our").

    By applying to or participating in the Affiliate Program, you ("Affiliate", "Partner", "you") confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Agreement as well as our Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and Cookie Policy.

    If you do not agree, you must not participate in the Affiliate Program.

    1. Overview

    The purpose of the Affiliate Program is to allow Affiliates to promote our vehicle check services and earn commissions for qualifying sales generated through their unique affiliate links.

    This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you and [Company Name] Ltd in relation to the Affiliate Program.

    Affiliates participate as independent contractors and not as employees, agents, or partners of [Company Name] Ltd.

    2. Joining the Affiliate Program

    Participation is solely for the purpose of lawful promotion of our products and earning commissions from valid customer purchases.

    We reserve the right to approve or reject any affiliate application at our sole discretion. Applications containing inaccurate, misleading, unlawful, offensive, or objectionable information will not be approved.

    You may maintain only one Affiliate account. Multiple websites, social profiles, or channels may be listed within that account, subject to approval.

    Affiliates must use only the tracking links, banners, or creatives provided or explicitly approved by us.

    You may not participate in the Affiliate Program if:

    • You are a current or former employee, contractor, or close associate of [Company Name] Ltd; or
    • You have a direct resale, distribution, or white-label agreement with us.

    3. Affiliate Account Suspension and Termination

    We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your Affiliate account at any time if you breach this Agreement or any applicable law.

    Accounts associated with fraudulent, misleading, or artificially generated traffic or orders may be immediately suspended.

    Affiliate accounts that remain inactive for 6 consecutive months (no tracked activity or response to communications) may be removed.

    If an account is terminated due to breach, abuse, or fraud:

    • Any unpaid or pending commissions will be forfeited; and
    • You may not rejoin the Affiliate Program without prior written approval.

    4. Linking and Advertising Rules

    Affiliates must use only approved affiliate links and creatives.

    The following practices are strictly prohibited:

    • Incentivised traffic (cashback, rewards, points, or compensation for clicks or purchases);
    • Cookie stuffing or forced cookie placement;
    • Pop-ups, pop-unders, iframes, hidden frames, or browser extensions that set cookies without clear user intent;
    • Domain forwarding or direct redirection to our Website via affiliate links;
    • Self-referrals (using your own affiliate link to make purchases).

    Affiliates are responsible for ensuring tracking links function correctly. We are not responsible for untracked sales caused by modified, broken, or misused links.

    Default cookie tracking duration is 30 days. We do not guarantee tracking where cookies are deleted, blocked, or overridden.

    5. Brand, Content & Conduct

    Affiliates may not use our brand name, trademarks, or confusingly similar variations in:

    • Domain names
    • Social media handles
    • Paid ad display URLs

    Affiliates must not misrepresent themselves as [Company Name] Ltd, imply official partnership beyond affiliate status, or replicate the look and feel of our Website.

    Affiliates may not publish or associate our brand with content that is:

    • Unlawful, misleading, or deceptive
    • Adult, violent, discriminatory, or hateful
    • Politically extreme or socially harmful

    Where required by law, Affiliates must clearly disclose their affiliate relationship (e.g. "This post contains affiliate links").

    6. Paid Advertising & Search Engines

    Affiliates may not run paid advertising campaigns bidding on:

    • Our brand name
    • Brand misspellings or close variations
    • Our domain name or URLs

    Affiliates may not direct-link paid ads to our Website without prior written approval.

    7. Email & Messaging Marketing

    Email or messaging campaigns promoting our services require prior written approval.

    Affiliates must comply with all applicable laws, including UK GDPR, PECR, and CAN-SPAM where applicable.

    Emails must not imply that they originate from [Company Name] Ltd.

    8. Commissions & Payments

    Commissions are earned only on completed, non-refunded, non-fraudulent purchases.

    Commission approvals are typically processed monthly.

    Commissions are paid monthly, subject to meeting the minimum payout threshold.

    Affiliates are responsible for providing accurate payment details. We are not liable for delayed or failed payments caused by incorrect information.

    Any applicable taxes on commissions are the sole responsibility of the Affiliate.

    9. No Guarantees

    We do not guarantee:

    • Approval into the Affiliate Program
    • Any minimum level of traffic, conversions, or commissions
    • Continued availability of the Affiliate Program

    We reserve the right to modify commission rates, structures, or tracking methods with reasonable notice.

    10. Independent Contractor Relationship

    Affiliates act as independent contractors. Nothing in this Agreement creates any partnership, agency, employment, or joint venture relationship.

    Affiliates have no authority to bind or represent [Company Name] Ltd.

    11. Limitation of Liability

    To the fullest extent permitted by law, [Company Name] Ltd shall not be liable for:

    • Loss of profits, revenue, or data
    • Indirect or consequential damages
    • Tracking errors or third-party system failures

    Our total liability under this Agreement shall not exceed the commissions paid to the Affiliate in the preceding 3 months.

    12. Governing Law

    This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction.
