Affiliates, Vouchers & Referral Regulation

1. Scope

This Regulation applies to individuals or entities that promote Avangarde Tourism through affiliate codes, links, vouchers, referral campaigns, or other recommendation mechanisms.

2. Affiliate role

The affiliate promotes the platform and may receive a commission or benefit for validated clients, according to campaign rules. The affiliate does not provide tourist services, does not confirm bookings, and does not legally represent Avangarde Tourism.

3. Acceptance of this Regulation

Participation in the affiliate programme is conditional on acceptance of this Regulation and on providing the required identification and tax details.

4. Affiliate codes, links, and vouchers

Codes, links, and vouchers are personal or assigned to a campaign and may not be transferred, sold, manipulated, or used fraudulently.

An affiliate voucher may be linked to a specific offer created or managed by an agent. When a tourist uses the voucher code at checkout, it can function in two ways:

• As a tracking/referral identifier, with no discount for the tourist; or
• As a discount voucher for the tourist, if the agent or Avangarde Tourism has configured a discount percentage (between 1% and 100%, within approved limits).

The discount is applied at checkout according to the offer rules and may not be promised outside the platform if it is not configured and visible in the system.

5. Commissions and voucher earnings

Commissions are awarded only for eligible bookings that are confirmed and paid, and that have not been cancelled, refunded, fraudulent, or generated in breach of the rules.

When a booking attributed through a voucher is finalised, the voucher creator may earn a percentage of the agent's commission for that booking. The percentage can be set at the time of voucher creation, typically between 1% and 100%, with a default value of 50%.

The affiliate fee/commission is deducted from the agent's own commission share for that booking. Affiliate earnings are subject to:

• The same 2-month delay after the booking is finalised.
• A minimum threshold of 100 EUR before payment is made.
• The same rules on cancellations, refunds, chargebacks, and tax verification as regular commissions.

6. Invoicing and taxes

The affiliate is responsible for their own tax obligations. Commission payment may be conditional on the issuance of an invoice or the provision of required tax documents.

7. Permitted marketing

The affiliate may promote approved offers using accurate, current, and non-misleading information. Promotional materials must respect Avangarde Tourism's image and comply with applicable law.

8. Prohibited marketing

The affiliate may not:

• Use false or exaggerated claims.
• Promise unapproved discounts or unconfirmed conditions.
• Use spam, unsolicited messages, or illegal data collection.
• Impersonate Avangarde Tourism or use the brand on domains/accounts without approval.
• Purchase traffic through deceptive means.
• Generate fictitious bookings or self-bookings for artificial commission accumulation.

9. Confidentiality & GDPR

The affiliate does not access, process, or store clients' personal data outside the platform and does not use data obtained through affiliate activity for any purpose other than that agreed. Data processing is carried out in accordance with the DPA & Confidentiality Annex.

10. Suspension and exclusion from the programme

Avangarde Tourism may suspend or exclude an affiliate from the programme in the event of a breach of this Regulation, without prior formalities. Commissions generated through fraudulent or prohibited practices will not be paid and may be recovered.
