Legitimate methods of advertising

The Procedure
- Subject to the terms of this Section, We will provide to you the Link, and/or the Code (as requested by you) and any related banners, posters, business cards graphics, or text advertisements necessary to for the Programme to apply to you. You may not use any materials to promote Us or Our products except those we have supplied to you. The Link may contain any picture, text, logo, graphic, that maybe be applicable to the relevant products or services.
- We reserve the right to change the content and or display of the Link from time to time in our sole discretion. The Link will connect your site with the area on our site (the landing page) where a customer referred by you may apply directly to us to purchase Our products or services. The presence of the Link on your site will serve to identify you as a member of the Programme.
- If, having become an Affiliate, you submit to Us a request by email from your email address for a Code then We shall within a reasonable time reply to that email address with a Code unique to you and will configure it on the Website so as to record and process for payment of commission for all relevant orders for Our products received from new customers who quote that Code in when placing their first order.
-
Payment of Commission
- Once a customer has arrived at the Website having followed the Link, their actions on the Website will be tracked for 14 days using a cookie. You will earn commission on their first order that is placed during the 14 day period. We will not be responsible for commissions missed due to the cookie being deleted or blocked or in any other way failing to track the customer from the Link or the Code.
- You will only earn commission in respect of sales made through the Website directly through the customer’s use of the Link or the Code when so purchasing one of Our products or services.
- We will only make a payment to you when the level of commission due at the end of a calendar month is above the commission balance threshold.
- The commission balance threshold for the purpose of this agreement is £25 or such higher sum as We determine from time to time and publish on the Website.
- We reserve the sole right to change the commission balance threshold at any time without your consent. In the event of such a change We shall notify you. If you do not wish to accept the new commission balance threshold you may terminate this Agreement by giving Us written notice to that effect. No commission is payable in respect of any sale made after you have terminated this Agreement.
- Your continuing participation in the Programme after publication of the change on the Website constitutes your acceptance of the new commission balance threshold.
- If you have earned commission in excess of the commission balance threshold We will pay the appropriate amount by each month by PayPal or such other means as we determine in our discretion. Commission not exceeding the commission balance threshold can be applied as credit against fees for the renewal of your account with Us or against the price of Our products or services, or can be carried over until you exceed the commission balance threshold.
- We will only pay out commissions on sales that are 90 days old. Commissions for sales over 90 days old will be paid once the commission balance threshold is reached after you submit a payment request to us.
- You will only be paid commission for the first order made by your referral customer. Commission will not be not paid for orders made by existing customers. We will not pay commission for products that you purchase through the Link. Our system will simply not recognise this as a sale qualifying for commission.
