Use of Affiliate Dashboard (“Platform”, “Panel”)
Upon acceptance into the Program, you will be assigned a unique Affiliate Code. Links will be made available to you through the affiliate interface. You will only use linking code obtained from the affiliate interface, without manipulation.
You will earn referral fees with respect to confirmed bookings on Outback Adventures website occurring directly through your Affiliate Links. You are permitted to place your affiliate links, banners, or other graphics with your Affiliate Code on your site, social media, in your emails, or in other communications. Once the affiliate link is clicked by visitor, the cookie in his browser will be active to track purchases for 180 days. We take care of their entire booking experience and track the tour sales generated from your site.
The commission is paid on completed bookings that are not canceled or returned, excluding amounts collected for Paypal fees.
Commission will not be earned if your client make bookings over the phone and not mention you or your affiliate ID, or send direct emails to Outback Adventures without attributing referral to you. We will only pay commissions on properly formatted links or referrals that are automatically tracked and reported by our system. We will not pay commissions if someone says they purchased tour but it was not tracked by our system. We are also unable to recognize clients that visit your site over the one device (phone or different laptop, for example) and after that they return to book the tour from other device; if your cookie is not set in the browser from which client make booking, we can’t track commissions and it will be considered as direct sale generated from our marketing efforts.
