Affiliate Program Policy
Welcome to the Lovall Affiliate Program! As an affiliate of Lovall, you will earn commissions on sales generated through your unique trackable discount code. This policy outlines the terms and conditions of participation to ensure a clear understanding of expectations, responsibilities, and the protection of both affiliates and Lovall’s brand.
1. Program Overview
Affiliates are independent partners who promote Lovall products using their personalised, trackable discount code. Affiliates earn a commission for every sale made through their unique code. The goal of the affiliate program is to foster a mutually beneficial relationship that allows both Lovall and our affiliates to grow.
2. Eligibility
To become an affiliate, you must:
- Be at least 18 years old.
- Have an active website, blog, social media presence, or other digital platform where you can promote Lovall.
- Submit an application to the Lovall Affiliate Program and receive approval.
- Comply with all terms set out in this policy.
Lovall reserves the right to approve or reject affiliate applications at its discretion.
3. Affiliates’ Responsibilities
Affiliates are expected to:
- Promote Lovall products: Affiliates must use their unique discount code to promote Lovall products via their own platforms (e.g., website, blog, social media, newsletters, etc.).
- Maintain transparency: Affiliates must disclose that they are earning commissions through affiliate links or discount codes, as required by law (e.g., using #ad or #affiliate on social media posts).
- Accurate Representation: Affiliates should not make false claims or misrepresent the Lovall brand, products, or services. This includes avoiding negative or misleading statements about our products or competitors.
- Channel-Specific Sales: Affiliates may only earn commissions on sales generated directly through their personal marketing channels. Using your unique discount code on unauthorised platforms, such as voucher websites or third-party discount sites, is prohibited.
4. Commission Structure
- Commission Rate: Affiliates will earn an agreed commission percentage on each sale made through their unique discount code.
- Tracking: All sales will be tracked through the affiliate’s unique discount code, which must be used by customers to qualify for commissions. Only sales where the discount code is entered at checkout will be eligible for commission.
- Payout: Commissions will be paid quarterly. Payments will be made via bank transfer.
- Commission from Authorised Channels Only: Affiliates will only receive commissions from sales generated via their direct marketing channels (e.g., personal website, social media, blog). Sales generated through unauthorised channels, such as voucher or coupon websites, will not qualify for commissions, with overpayments being reclaimed.
5. Prohibited Practices
Affiliates must not engage in the following prohibited activities:
- Voucher and Coupon Websites: Affiliates may not post or distribute their unique discount codes on third-party voucher or coupon websites. Any sales originating from these sites will not be eligible for commission, even if the affiliate did not directly post the code there.
- Fraudulent Transactions: Using or encouraging the use of fake or fraudulent orders to generate commissions is strictly prohibited.
- Spamming: Affiliates should not engage in spammy marketing practices, such as unsolicited emails or excessive messaging, to promote their codes.
- Misleading Marketing: Affiliates must not promote Lovall products in a misleading or deceptive manner, including offering false discounts or making unsubstantiated claims about the products.
- Brand Abuse: Affiliates may not use Lovall’s brand name, logo, or any other intellectual property in any paid ads, including but not limited to Google Ads, Facebook Ads, or similar platforms, without prior written approval.
6. Commission Reclamation
Lovall reserves the right to reclaim commissions from affiliates for any sales that are found to have been generated through unauthorised platforms or methods (e.g., voucher/coupon websites), even if the affiliate did not directly post their unique code on these platforms. If a sale is determined to be in violation of these policies, the amount of commission to be reclaimed will be determined at Lovall's discretion, based on our data sources.
- Invoice and Payment Terms: Once the reclaimed commission is calculated, Lovall will send an invoice to the affiliate for the amount owed. The affiliate must make payment within 7 days of receiving the invoice. If payment is not received within this period, the debt will accrue interest and be sent to a debt recovery facility. The affiliate’s participation in the program may also be suspended or terminated.
7. Affiliate Code Usage
- Affiliates will receive a unique trackable discount code upon approval into the program.
- This code must only be used for promotional purposes by the affiliate through their own approved channels. The code may not be resold or distributed in any unauthorised manner.
- Affiliates should ensure that their discount codes are not shared with fraudulent or inappropriate individuals or platforms.
