These terms and conditions explain how our affiliate programme works and the rules that apply. If you have any questions about anything in these terms, then please do not hesitate to get in touch with us at hello@snugdesigns.co.uk.

In these Terms, the following words have the meanings attributed to them:

Please read these terms and conditions (“terms”, “terms and conditions”) carefully before using snugdesigns.co.uk (the “service”) operated by Snug Designs (“us”, ‘we”, “our”). “Affiliate”; “you”; “your” means you, as a Snug Designs affiliate. “Affiliate Account” means the account you set up when you register as an Affiliate. “Affiliate Programme” means our programme for promotion of our brand by individuals who register with us as Affiliates.

Setting Up an Affiliate Account and Earning Commission

To set up an Affiliate Account please fill in the online sign-up form on our Website. We will then provide you with a unique link to post on your website and social media platforms and to pass on to others. Each ‘click’ on this link will be registered on your Affiliate Account using a cookie which is set on the user’s computer, and for each sale made through that link you will earn commission at the rate set out on our Website. We pay commission on the sale price of our products and no commission will be paid on any delivery charges or sales taxes paid by the customer.

Payments

We pay our Affiliates through PayPal, so you will need to have a PayPal account set up in order to receive payments. Please ensure that the PayPal email address listed on your account is correct so that we can make payments to you when they are due. If the address is incorrect then payments will not reach you so it is your responsibility to update your PayPal email address if you change it.

Affiliate payment dates are on the last Friday in each month.

All Affiliate payments are paid gross. It is your responsibility to declare and pay any tax or insurance due on these payments and you indemnify Snug Designs against any claims, losses, damages or any other liabilities which arise as a result of you not declaring and paying those sums.

Relationship Between Affiliates and Snug Designs

Neither you nor we are the agent or partner of the other. You agree that you will not at any time promote yourself as an agent or employee of Snug Designs.

You also agree that you have no authority to enter into any contract on behalf of Snug Designs or to bind Snug Designs in any way, and you will not make any representation or indication that you are acting on behalf of, or are in any way capable of binding, Snug Designs.

Your Obligations as a Snug Designs Affiliate

You agree that you will:

(a) follow our reasonable instructions and requests in relation to your relationship with us as our Affiliate;

(b) always promote Snug Designs and our products in the best light and as we would choose to do so ourselves, and not make or publish any statement which is disparaging or negative;

(c) notify us of all enquiries about Snug Designs or our products promptly;

(d) familiarise yourself with the characteristics, functionality, price, performance and availability of our products; and

(e) bear all costs and expenses incurred in connection with your activities as a Snug Designs Affiliate.

(a) make any statement, representation or warranty, whether vocally or in writing, about Snug Designs or our products other than those statements and representations contained in materials provided by us to you or set out on our Website;

(B) create, or direct or permit anyone else to create, a website for the sole purpose of advertising or promoting the Snug Designs;

(d) promote your Affiliate link using SPAM/unsolicited emails;

(e) promote your Affiliate link in a way that may cause offence to others, including competitors;

Termination and Closure of Inactive Accounts

We do not place any obligation on our Affiliates to meet quotas or guarantee sales. However, if any Affiliate Account is inactive for a period of one (1) year then we will close that account, meaning any clicks using the unique link associated with that account will no longer be registered to that account and no commission will be payable in respect of any sales coming through that link.

You can choose to end your membership of our Affiliate programme at any time, for any reason, by notifying us that you wish to do so. We will then close your account, meaning any clicks using your unique link will no longer be registered to your account. Any commission which has not already been paid to you at the date that your account is closed will be paid through to you within two (2) months of your account being closed.

We can terminate your membership of our Affiliate programme at any time, for any reason, by giving you thirty (30) days’ written notice. At the end of this thirty (30) day period we will close your account, meaning any clicks using your unique link will no longer be registered to your account. Any commission which has not already been paid to you at the date that your account is closed will be paid through to you on our next payment date.

We can also terminate your membership of the Affiliate programme with immediate effect if you breach any of these Terms and do not remedy that breach (if capable of remedy) within fourteen (14) days of notice from us. If you do not correct the relevant breach within this time period we will close your account, meaning any clicks using your unique link will no longer be registered to your account. Once your account has been closed no further commission will be payable, including any commission which has accrued to your account but not yet been paid to you.

In addition to the termination provisions above, either you or we will be entitled to terminate your membership immediately by notifying the other in writing if the other is declared bankrupt, enters into insolvency or administration proceedings.

The rights to terminate set out above do not prejudice any other right or remedy available to you or us.

If your membership of our Affiliate Programme is terminated for any reason you will be entitled to receive any unpaid commission registered on your Affiliate Account, unless payment is excluded for any reason set out in the above paragraphs. You will not be entitled to, or have any claim against Snug Designs for, compensation of any sort.

Unless these Terms state otherwise, on termination of your Affiliate Account neither you nor we will have any further obligation to the other under these Terms.

Privacy and Data Protection

Please click here to view our Privacy and Cookies policy, which explains how we process any personal data you provide to us and how our Website uses cookies.

Confidentiality

You agree not to disclose any Confidential Information, directly or indirectly, to any third party without our written authorisation to do so, and you will exercise a reasonable level of care in protecting our Confidential Information from unauthorised use and disclosure. In particular, you agree that you will keep your account login details confidential and will not share them with any other person. You will also keep all marketing and other materials in relation to Snug Designs confidential and will not use them for any purpose other than in connection with promotion of Snug Designs.

These confidentiality provisions do not apply to information that is (a) publicly available, (b) obtained by you from third parties without restrictions on how you use that information, (c) independently developed by you without using our Confidential Information, or (d) required to be disclosed by order of a court or other governmental or regulatory body.

Disclosure of our Confidential Information has the potential to cause damage to our business beyond anything that is capable of being valued by money damages. You therefore agree that we will be entitled to injunctive relief and any other remedies available to us in order to enforce these confidentiality provisions.

Intellectual Property Rights

All rights, including Intellectual Property Rights, in and to Snug Designs, the products sold on our Website, the content in our Website and all other information and materials which relate to Snug Designs and our products are owned by Snug Designs.

As an Affiliate, Snug Designs grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-assignable, worldwide licence for the duration of your membership of our Affiliate Programme, to use our Intellectual Property Rights for the purposes of promoting our products in accordance with these Terms. However, your participation in our Affiliate Programme does not transfer to you any rights in respect of our brand, our trade names or trade marks or of the goodwill associated with them.

Indemnification

You indemnify, defend and hold harmless Snug Designs and its directors, officers, employees, distributors and agents from and against any and all claims, expenses, wages, lawsuits or other liabilities (including without limitation, reasonable legal fees and court costs) for injury to any person, or for loss or damage to personal property, which arises out of any misrepresentation by you regarding Snug Designs or our products, or any other of your activities as a Snug Designs Affiliate.

Changes to These Terms

We may make changes to any of these Terms at any time by posting new or updated Terms on snugdesigns.co.uk. We will also email any new or updated Terms to you using the contact email address you have provided in your Affiliate Account details. Changes to these Terms may include, without limitation, changes in the way we award commission, fee schedules, payment procedures and Affiliate Programme rules. If any changes we make are unacceptable to you, you will need to terminate your membership of our Affiliate Programme. If you continue to use your unique Affiliate link after we have notified you of new or updated Terms then you will be deemed to have accepted those Terms.

General

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and us with respect to the Snug Designs Affiliate Programme, and supersede all other communications between us in relation to your involvement in our Affiliate Programme.

These Terms are personal to you as our Affiliate and you may not assign or otherwise transfer any of your rights or obligations to anyone else. These Terms do not create, and shall not be construed as creating, any rights under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 enforceable by any third party.

If we agree to waive any of, or any part of, these Terms then that waiver must be in writing to be effective.  Any waiver by us of any of, or any part of, these Terms will not be considered a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other provision of these Terms and failure, neglect or delay by you or us to enforce these Terms (or any of them) or any rights or remedies at any time will not be deemed to be a waiver of the rights under these Terms.

These Terms are governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with, the laws of England and Wales, whose courts shall have exclusive jurisdiction.

Thank you for being a Snug Designs Affiliate!
