Affiliate Agreement

This is a comprehensive agreement prepared for those websites that intend to operate their own affiliate programme. Such programmes, using custom designed software or off the shelf packages, can enable any trading website to pay commission to other websites that deliver customers or leads.

In order to ensure that the process and terms are clear to the affiliate websites that will promote your website, you should ensure that you have a legal Affiliate Agreement published on your site, to which new affiliates are required to agree.

This agreement includes a "self billing" option. The capability to allow self-billing (i.e. where the merchant prepares the invoices on behalf of affiliates) can ease the administration burden. Use of this option requires approval from HM Customs & Excise, which is a straightforward process.

This document is suitable for websites hosted in England, Wales and Scotland and contains the following clauses:

• application and approval process
• links and licence for promotional material
• sales and commission tracking mechanism
• limitations on use
• payment process, VAT and self billing (optional)
• data protection
• conditions and availability
• termination
• limitations on liability.

This document is available individually or as part of a Full Annual Subscription - giving you access to all Clickdocs documents, packages and forms for a single annual fee.
