2. How affiliate program work: #
2.1. Affiliate Program Offer: As PicklesBucket Affiliate, you have the option of participating in offer terms (Offer Terms), which are made available to you in the Platform. The Offer Terms will have additional details (like what constitutes a successful referral and the percentage commission you can earn). These Offer Terms details are explained in the Platform and are incorporated into these Affiliate Program General Terms by reference.
2.2. Referral links and code: Each of the Offer Terms that you choose to participate in has a unique referral link that can be generated via your affiliate’s account, once you have been approved to join the Affiliate Program. Simply paste the link provided or an approved Affiliate Program ad on your website, and if the terms of the Offer Terms are met, you may earn Affiliate Program referral earnings.
2.3. Referral earnings: The earnings you will receive for successfully meeting the Offer Terms are detailed on each Offer Terms page. Prices and fees are exclusive of transactional taxes where relevant (like VAT and GST). You are responsible for paying all other fees and taxes associated with your referral earnings. Referral earning details (and the way in which they are calculated) will be described in applicable Offer Terms or the Platform. PicklesBucket does not in any way guarantee referral earnings (or any other earnings) through participation in the Affiliate Program and, to avoid doubt, your participation in the Affiliate Program may be terminated by us at any time.
2.4. More details: Here are a few more important points about how it works:
2.4.1. We use cookies and other similar technologies to track people who have clicked on your link. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have provided all disclosures and obtained all necessary rights, consents and permissions to drop relevant cookies to allow required tracking, using or sharing of any relevant person’s data, and you represent and warrant to us that you’ve done this.
2.4.2. If a person doesn’t allow cookies or clears their cookies, then we may not be able to track them and in these circumstances, we are not liable to pay referral earnings on that person’s activity.
2.4.3. If a person clicks on your referral link and then later they click on someone else’s, it is the first link they clicked on that counts (that is, we have a first-click attribution policy). Multiple PicklesBucket Affiliates will not be paid in respect of the same sale or transaction. You agree that if there is a dispute about payment, the sole determination of PicklesBucket will be final and binding.
2.4.4. The applicable cookie period will be described in your Offer Terms. But generally speaking:
a- for PicklesBucket, if a person clicks your link, they have 30 days before the cookie expires; and
b- Commission is not paid for self-referrals (that is, where the affiliate and buyer are the same person). Referrals from fraudulent activity (including self-referral) may show up in your account but will be deducted from your final monthly referral earnings.
c- Above all, use of the Affiliate Program is subject to our Acceptable Use Policy. and PicklesBucket has the right to review each and every referral, and the right to remove any Affiliate from the program at our discretion.
