Transactions that result in a refund or return after an affiliate commission has already been paid to the referrer will be debited from future potential commissions.

Transactions completed via finance options provided by Vertical Leisure Ltd. are not eligible for commission.

  1. Coupon and Deal Sites

X-POLE occasionally offer coupons to select affiliates and to our newsletter subscribers. If you’re not pre-approved / assigned a branded coupon, then you’re not allowed to promote the coupon. Below are the terms that apply for any affiliate who is considering the promotion of our products in relation to a deal or coupon:

Affiliates may not use misleading text on affiliate links, buttons or images to imply that anything besides currently authorized deals to the specific affiliate.

Affiliates may not generate pop-ups, pop-unders, iframes, frames, or any other seen or unseen actions that set affiliate cookies unless the user has expressed a clear and explicit interest in activating a specific savings by clicking on a clearly marked link, button or image for that particular coupon or deal. Your link must send the visitor to the merchant site.

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 merchant site” is NOT allowed).

Affiliate sites may not have “Click for (or to see) Deal/Coupon” or any variation, when there are no coupons or deals available, and the click opens the merchant site or sets a cookie. Affiliates with such text on the merchant landing page will be removed from the program immediately.

  1. Closed Pay Per Click (PPC) Policy

The X-POLE program has a closed PPC policy. Affiliates are not permitted to use Store.x-pole.com, xpole.com or any other X-POLE URL as a display URL in any paid search listings.
