Aviationtag Affiliate Program Terms and Conditions
Welcome to the Aviationtag Affiliate Program.
These Terms govern participation in the Aviationtag Affiliate Program (“Program”) operated by bordbar design GmbH (“Aviationtag”, “we”, “us”). “Affiliate” or “you” means the individual or business accepted into the Program.
By applying for and participating in the Program, you agree to these Terms. Participation requires our approval.
1. Applications and eligible channels
We review applications individually and may accept or reject them based on their suitability for the Program. Registration does not guarantee acceptance.
You must provide accurate contact and payment information and disclose all websites, social media accounts and other channels you intend to use. Only channels approved by us may be used. Additional channels require approval before use.
The following are not eligible for the Program:
Product review websites or accounts whose primary focus is product testing, reviews or comparison-based purchasing recommendations.
Coupon, voucher, discount, deal or cashback websites, apps, groups or social media accounts.
Browser extensions, toolbars or services that automatically insert affiliate links or coupon codes.
You must not distribute our affiliate links or codes through these channels, either directly or through third parties.
Individuals must be at least 18 years old. Anyone applying on behalf of a business must be authorised to do so.
2. Permitted promotion and prohibited paid advertising
You may promote Aviationtag through organic content on your approved channels, subject to these Terms.
Paid advertising promoting Aviationtag, its brand or its products is prohibited. This includes:
Search advertising, shopping ads and bidding on Aviationtag brand terms, product names, misspellings or combinations with terms such as “coupon”, “discount” or “deal”.
Paid social media advertising, boosted posts and sponsored distribution.
Display advertising, retargeting, paid native advertising and paid offline placements.
Purchasing traffic or paying third parties to distribute content containing Aviationtag affiliate links or codes.
The prohibition applies whether an advertisement links directly to our website or indirectly through your own website, landing page, profile or another intermediary.
You must not arrange prohibited advertising through an agency, another account or any third party.
For clarity, commission paid by Aviationtag for eligible referrals is not prohibited paid advertising. Legally required advertising labels on organic affiliate content remain mandatory.
Applications proposing prohibited advertising will be rejected. Violations during participation will result in immediate suspension and may lead to termination under Section 9.
3. Affiliate links and coupon codes
Approved affiliates receive a personal affiliate link and may have access to product-specific or collection-specific links.
You may only promote coupon codes expressly assigned or approved for your use. You must follow their stated validity periods, product exclusions and other restrictions.
You must not publish or submit codes to coupon or deal platforms, promote leaked or unauthorised codes, or imply that a discount is exclusive or greater than it actually is.
You must not offer cashback, share your commission with customers or provide other purchase incentives without our prior written approval.
An order can generate only one affiliate commission. Using both an affiliate link and a coupon code does not generate a double commission.
The applicable attribution rules, including priority between affiliate links and coupon codes, are provided in the Program Details described in Section 4.
4. Commission and payment
Before participation begins, we will make the applicable commercial terms available in your dashboard or in a written program confirmation (“Program Details”). These include:
Commission rates and eligible products.
Attribution rules and tracking duration.
Validation periods.
Payment frequency, payment deadlines, currency and payment methods.
Any minimum payout threshold and applicable payment fees.
Commission is calculated on the eligible product value actually paid after discounts, excluding VAT or other sales taxes, shipping charges and separately charged fees.
Commission is payable only for genuine, attributable purchases that have been paid and have completed the applicable validation period.
Cancelled, unpaid, fraudulent, fully refunded or charged-back orders do not qualify. Partial refunds reduce commission proportionately to the remaining eligible product value.
Your own purchases, purchases made on your behalf or purchases by a business you control do not qualify. Artificial transactions or arrangements primarily intended to generate commission are prohibited.
You must provide accurate payment details and any invoice or tax documentation reasonably required for payment. You are responsible for your own tax obligations. VAT on your affiliate services, where legally applicable, will be handled against appropriate documentation.
If commission has already been paid for an order subsequently refunded or otherwise shown to be ineligible, we may reclaim the corresponding overpayment or deduct it from future payments, with an explanation.
You may contact us about missing or disputed commissions. Dashboard records may be reviewed and corrected where there is evidence of an error.
5. Honest marketing and advertising disclosure
You must clearly disclose your affiliate relationship and the commercial nature of your content as required by applicable law and platform rules. Disclosures must be easy to notice and understand.
Your content must be accurate. You must not make misleading claims about product origin, availability, pricing, discounts, sustainability or partnerships.
You must not claim to represent Aviationtag, provide customer service on our behalf or make commitments in our name.
Spam, unsolicited bulk messages, fake reviews, fabricated endorsements and misleading promotions are prohibited. Email or other direct marketing requires our prior approval and compliance with applicable consent requirements.
You must have the necessary rights to all content you publish and comply with applicable advertising, intellectual property and data protection laws.
6. Brand assets and marketing materials
We may provide approved logos, images, banners and other marketing materials for use within the Program.
During your participation, you receive a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use these materials solely for permitted promotion on approved channels.
You must follow any supplied brand guidelines and must not materially alter our logos or use our materials in a misleading context.
You must not register or use domains, account names, advertising identities or other identifiers that impersonate Aviationtag or suggest that your channel is an official Aviationtag channel.
Participation does not grant independent rights to use the names, logos or other intellectual property of airlines or other partners. Such material may only be used to the extent expressly covered by the assets and instructions we provide.
You must comply promptly with reasonable requests to correct or remove outdated, inaccurate, unauthorised or infringing promotional material.
7. Tracking and data protection
We use the tracking methods described in the Program Details to attribute eligible referrals. Where cookies or comparable technologies require consent, they may only be used after valid consent has been obtained.
Cookie rejection, deletion, browser settings, device changes or technical limitations may prevent attribution. Where a referral cannot be established through permitted tracking or other reliable evidence accepted following review, commission cannot be allocated.
A coupon code does not necessarily set or renew a tracking cookie. Coupon attribution and repeat-purchase eligibility depend on the disclosed Program Details.
Cookie-stuffing, forced or hidden redirects, automatic clicks, bot traffic, tracking manipulation and overwriting another affiliate’s attribution without a genuine customer interaction are prohibited.
You must not bypass consent choices or collect customer information on Aviationtag’s behalf without a separate written agreement. Each party remains responsible for the data protection obligations applicable to its own activities.
8. No unauthorised sub-affiliates
You may not delegate participation, distribute links through sub-affiliate networks or recruit commission-earning downline affiliates without a separate written agreement with Aviationtag.
The availability of a network or invitation feature in the software does not itself constitute permission to use it.
9. Suspension and termination
You may leave the Program at any time by emailing retailers@aviationtag.com. We may end your participation or discontinue the Program with 14 days’ notice by email.
Where there are concrete indications of prohibited paid advertising, fraud, tracking manipulation or another material breach, we may immediately suspend the affected promotional activity or account while we investigate. Any suspension will be proportionate to the suspected breach. We will notify you of the reason and give you an opportunity to respond.
Either party may terminate participation without notice for good cause in accordance with applicable law. Where legally required, termination will be preceded by a warning or an opportunity to remedy the breach.
On termination, you must stop using affiliate links, codes and licensed marketing assets and remove them from channels under your control.
Commission attributable to prohibited activity is not payable. A breach does not automatically cancel unrelated commission legitimately earned under these Terms.
Eligible orders placed before termination remain subject to normal validation and payment. During ordinary notice periods, compliant referrals remain eligible. After ordinary termination, genuine referrals generated before the effective termination date remain eligible for the remainder of their original attribution window.
Any different treatment following termination for good cause must be justified by the breach and applicable law. Outstanding valid commission will be settled under the agreed payment schedule once validation is complete; any minimum payout threshold will be waived for the final payment.
10. Changes to the Program
Changes to these Terms or agreed commercial conditions require agreement unless otherwise permitted by applicable law. We will communicate proposed changes by email before they are intended to take effect.
Changes will not retroactively reduce commission already earned. If agreement on future participation cannot be reached, either party may end participation under Section 9.
11. Independent status and applicable law
You participate as an independent affiliate. These Terms do not create an employment relationship, partnership or authority to enter into contracts on our behalf.
These Terms are governed by German law. Any mandatory protections under otherwise applicable law remain unaffected.
Our shop terms govern customer purchases; they do not replace these Affiliate Program Terms.
