As an authorized affiliate of Sturfer, you agree to abide by the terms and conditions contained in this agreement. Please read the entire agreement carefully before registering and promoting Sturfer as an affiliate.

Your participation in the program is solely for the purpose of legally promoting our website to earn a commission on memberships and products purchased by people referred to Sturfer through your own website or personal referrals.

By signing up for the Sturfer Affiliate Program, you agree to be bound by this Agreement and its terms and conditions.

Approval or rejection of the application

We reserve the right to approve or reject ANY affiliate program application in our sole and absolute discretion. You have no legal recourse against us for the rejection of your affiliate program application.

Commissions

Commissions are paid once a month. For an affiliate to receive a commission, the referred account must remain active for at least 31 days. The commission varies depending on the partnership level. You start in the Sturfer Ambassador category (level 2). Sturfer can assign you to a different level at any time, even to level 1.

You cannot refer yourself and you will not receive any commission on your own accounts.

Payments are only sent for transactions that have been successfully completed. Transactions that result in chargebacks or refunds will not be paid out.

Amounts are only paid out from a minimum amount of 50 euros. Your data must be entered in the affiliate program in order to carry out the transfer.

Please note that no liability will be accepted in the event of incorrect bank details being sent to us.

Termination

Your partner application and status in the program may be suspended or terminated for any of the following reasons:

  • Inappropriate advertising (false claims, misleading hyperlinks, etc.).
  • Spamming (mass e-mails, mass newsgroup postings, etc.).
  • Advertising on websites that contain or promote illegal activities.
  • Failure to disclose the affiliate relationship for a promotion that is deemed an endorsement under existing Federal Trade Commission guidelines and regulations or applicable state law.
  • Infringement of intellectual property rights. Sturfer reserves the right to require license agreements from those who use Sturfer trademarks to protect our intellectual property rights.
  • Offering discounts, coupons or other promised kickbacks from your affiliate commission as an incentive. However, adding bonuses or bundling other products with Sturfer is acceptable.
  • Self-referrals, fraudulent transactions, suspected affiliate fraud.

In addition, Sturfer reserves the right to terminate any Affiliate Account at any time for breach of this Agreement or without cause.

You can use graphic and text links on your website, your social media channels as well as in your own email messages. You can also advertise Sturfer websites in online classified ads, magazines and newspapers.

You may use the graphics we provide or create your own as long as they are deemed appropriate under the Terms and do not violate the provisions described in the Termination section.

Voucher and deal sites

Sturfer occasionally offers vouchers for selected affiliates and for our newsletter subscribers. If you have not approved / assigned a brand coupon in advance, you may not advertise the coupon. Below you will find the terms and conditions that apply to any affiliate considering promoting our products in relation to a deal or voucher:

  • Affiliates may not use misleading text on affiliate links, buttons or images to imply that anything other than currently authorized business is being conducted with the respective affiliate.
  • Affiliates may not bid on Sturfer coupons, Sturfer discounts, or other phrases that indicate coupons are available.
  • Affiliates may not generate pop-ups, pop-unders, iframes, frames or other seen or unseen actions that set affiliate cookies unless the user has expressed a clear and explicit interest in activating a particular savings by clicking on a clearly marked link, button or image for that particular coupon or deal. Your link must direct the visitor to the retailer’s site.
  • The user must be able to see coupon/deal/savings information and details before an affiliate cookie is set (i.e. “click here to see coupons and open a window to the merchant website” is NOT allowed).
  • Affiliate websites may not have a “click for (or to see) deal/coupon” or a variation if no coupons or deals are available and the click opens the merchant website or sets a cookie. Affiliates with such text on the merchant landing page will be removed from the program immediately.

Pay-per-click policy (PPC)

PPC bids are NOT permitted without prior written authorization.
