Any new features that augment or enhance the current programme, including the release of new tools and resources, shall be subject to the Terms of Service. Continued use of the programme after any such changes shall constitute your consent to such changes.

Links/graphics on your site, in your emails, or other communications

Once you have signed up for the Affiliate Programme, you will be assigned a unique Affiliate Code. You are permitted to place links, banners, or other graphics we provide with your Affiliate Code on your site, in your emails, or in other communications. We can provide you with guidelines and link styles to use in linking to Unique Wine Safaris. We may change the design at any time without notice, but we won’t change the images without proper notice.

To permit accurate tracking, reporting, and referral fee accrual, we will provide you with special link formats to be used in all links between your site and Unique Wine Safaris. You must ensure that each of the links between your site and Unique Wine Safaris properly utilises such special link formats. Links to Unique Wine Safaris placed on your site pursuant to this agreement and which properly utilise such special link formats are referred to as “Special Links.” You will earn referral fees only with respect to sales on a Unique Wine Safaris product occurring directly through Special Links; we will not be liable to you with respect to any failure by you or someone you refer to use Special Links or incorrectly type your Affiliate Code, including to the extent that such failure may result in any reduction of amounts that would otherwise be paid to you pursuant to this Agreement.

Affiliate links should point to the page of the product being promoted.

Referral fees/commissions and payment

For a product sale to be eligible to earn a referral fee, the customer must click-through a Special Link from your site, email, or other communication to https://uniquewinesafaris.com and complete an order for a product during that session.

We will only pay commissions on links that are automatically tracked and reported by our systems. We will not pay commissions if someone says they purchased or someone says they entered a referral code if it was not tracked by our system. We can only pay commissions on business generated through properly formatted special links that were automatically tracked by our systems.

We reserve the right to disqualify commissions earned through fraudulent, illegal, or overly aggressive, questionable sales or marketing methods.

Payments only begin once you’ve earned more than £100 in affiliate income. If your affiliate account never crosses the £100 threshold, your commissions will not be realised or paid. We are only responsible for paying accounts that have crossed the £100 threshold.

Identifying yourself as a Unique Wine Safaris Affiliate

You may not issue any press release with respect to this agreement or your participation in the programme; such action may result in your termination from the programme. In addition, you may not in any manner misrepresent or embellish the relationship between us and you, say you develop our products, say you are part of Unique Wine Safaris or express or imply any relationship or affiliation between us and you or any other person or entity except as expressly permitted by this agreement (including by expressing or implying that we support, sponsor, endorse, or contribute money to any charity or other cause, without our express permission, if this is the case).

You may not purchase products through your affiliate links for your own use. Such purchases may result (in our sole discretion) in the withholding of referral fees and/or the termination of this agreement, unless you have permission to do so by us, in writing

Payment schedule

As long as your current affiliate earnings are over £100, you’ll be paid each month. If you haven’t earned £100 since your last payment, we’ll pay you the following month after you’ve crossed the threshold.

Customer definition

Customers who buy products through this Programme will be deemed to be our customers. Accordingly, all of our rules, policies, and operating procedures concerning customer orders, customer service, and product sales will apply to those customers. We may change our policies and operating procedures at any time. For example, we will determine the prices to be charged for products sold under this programme in accordance with our own pricing policies. Product prices and availability may vary from time to time. Because price changes may affect products that you have listed on your site, you should not display product prices on your site, unless you continually monitor our site for any possible changes in price. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to present accurate information, but we cannot guarantee the availability, vintage or price of any particular product.

– Ensuring that materials posted on your site do not violate or infringe upon the rights of any third party (including, for example, copyrights, trademarks, privacy, or other personal or proprietary rights)
