PPC Policy 

Commissions will not be paid where there is evidence of any paid search activity on brand terms without prior authorization. This includes permutations, misspellings and broad matches containing brand terms (generic is fine). 

PPC bidding restrictions also apply on Google Shopping/CSS (Comparison Shopping Service). We request the brand keywords stated below to be excluded from all CSS activity.  

Restrictions include, but are not limited to the following:

Please do not use the word ‘official’ in your advertisements. 

We are happy for affiliates to bid on generic terms, however direct linking is prohibited. Any affiliates who do not abide by these rules do risk having their commissions set to zero and possible suspension. 
 

Discount codes 

Christophe Robin encourages affiliates to contact us for exclusive voucher/discount codes and additional incentives. 

Affiliates may only promote codes that are provided through the Christophe Robin affiliate program (either through our account or directly from Christophe Robin’s Affiliate Manager). 

Christophe Robin reserves the right to withhold payment of commission if unauthorized voucher/coupon codes are used in an affiliate sale. We appreciate that consumers may use voucher/coupon codes that they have found via a site other than that which is awarded the sale and this will be investigated before decisions on commission payment are made. Any affiliate found to be displaying unauthorised codes may also have their commission set to zero until the code(s) are removed. 

Where voucher/coupon codes are issued with an expiration date this should be clearly displayed, and codes should be removed or explicitly marked as expired after this due date unless you are advised otherwise. Any affiliates displaying expired codes without marking them as being expired may be suspended from the program. Please also ensure that you observe IAB voucher code best practice guidelines. 

De-duplication Policy 

All affiliate sales are de-duplicated against other online advertising channels using a local cookie on the merchant platform. De-duplication channels include: 

PPC Brand 

PPC Generic 

Email Advertising 

Direct Partnerships 

Price Comparison 

Display & retargeting advertising 

Other Affiliate Networks 

In house referrer scheme (further details on this can be found below) 

The In House Referrer Scheme  
Existing customers who have already purchased from The Hut Group will be sent an email explaining the referral scheme and how they can earn credit from driving new customers to the site. 

For example: 

Existing customer logs into their account on Christophe Robin and goes to referral section. 

Existing customer creates link to Christophe Robin to share on social media. 

New customer clicks on that link and makes first purchase on Christophe Robin either by entering referral code at checkout or after an automatic discount has been applied after clicking on a referral link. 

Existing customer receives credit to spend on Christophe Robin as a reward. 

All referral sales will be de-duped against affiliate sales and there will be a slight change to the usual last-click method of tracking in certain circumstances: 

If a new customer uses a referral code or link then clicks an affiliate link (within 30 minutes of the first click), this sale will be attributed to the referral scheme 

If an affiliate link is used 30 minutes or more after the referral link is clicked and no referrer code is redeemed then the affiliate will still be awarded the last click and receive commission for this sale 

Note: Whenever a referrer code is used, the sale will not track via affiliates. 

Cookieless Vouchercode/Couponcode Tracking 

Christophe Robin uses cookie-less voucher/coupon tracking for some of our influencer partners. This means that the transaction is always attributed to the publisher who is given the exclusive voucher/coupon. When the voucher/coupon is used, transactions will be tracked regardless of whether a click has happened or not. Please speak to your account contact for more information. 

  Validation Policy 

Christophe Robin validates in-line with their returns policy which is 28 days with a look back window 31 days.  

 CSS 

Only standard shopping activity to be used by CSS partners with brand terms negatively matched in adherence to program terms. Performance Max activity should not be set up and could result in 0 commission and suspension from the programme if this activity is found in place.  

 Any queries may be addressed to the network.
