Upon acceptance into the program, links will be made available to you through the affiliate interface. Your acceptance into our program means you agree to and abide by the following:

1. You will only use linking code obtained from the affiliate interface without manipulation. You can also generate an affiliate link for a specific product or collection, in the Affiliate interface.

3. You may not engage in cookie stuffing or include pop-ups, false, or misleading links on your website and/or social media. In addition, wherever possible, you will not attempt to mask the referring URL information (i.e. the page from where the click is originating).

4. You may not use redirects to bounce a click off of a domain from which the click did not originate in order to give the appearance that it came from that domain.

5. If you are found redirecting links to hide or manipulate their original source, your current and past commissions will be voided or your commission level will be set to 0%. This does not include using “out” redirects from the same domain where the affiliate link is placed.

PAY PER CLICK (PPC) GUIDELINES

If you are enrolled in our program and participate in PPC advertising, you must adhere to our PPC guidelines as follows:

1. You may not bid on any of our trademarked terms (which are identified below), including any variations or misspellings thereof, for search or content-based campaigns on Google, MSN, Yahoo, or any other network.

You will forfeit all commissions for a minimum of the past 30 days, your commission will be set to 0% without warning, and you may be removed from our affiliate program if you engage in PPC trademark bidding that uses our trademarked terms or violates our PPC bidding guidelines.

Trademarked Terms: Takasa®

COUPON GUIDELINES

Takasa may run an active coupon and discounting program through our own website. While we do not discourage coupon sites from joining our affiliate program, if you are enrolled in our program and your website promotes coupon codes, you must adhere to the following Coupon Guidelines:

1. You may ONLY advertise coupon codes that are provided to you through the affiliate program or network or that are displayed on our website(s). We are happy to work with our affiliate partners to define promotions that might work for your customers.

2. Posting any information about how to work around the requirements of a coupon/promotion (i.e., first-time customers only) will result in removal from the program.

3. Coupons must be displayed in their entirety with the full offer, valid expiration date, and code.

4. You may NOT use any technology that covers up the coupon code and generates the affiliate click by revealing the code(s).

5. You may NOT advertise coupon codes obtained from our non-affiliate advertising, customer e-mails, paid search, on-site coupons, or any other promotional campaign.

6. You may NOT give the appearance that any ongoing offer requires clicking from your website in order to redeem. For example, if all items on the site have free shipping over $100, you may not turn this into an offer that implies that the customer must click from your site to get this deal.

Additionally, if your website ranks on the first page of Google for terms related to our website or company name(s) combined with the words coupon, coupons, coupon code, promo code, etc., and/or your conversion rate exceeds 25%, you may be offered a lower commission than our standard rate to offset the reduced profitability of orders.

DOMAIN NAMES

Use of any of our trademarked terms as part of the domain or sub-domain for your website, i.e. takasa.website.com or www.takasa-coupons.com, is strictly prohibited and is grounds for removal from the program.

ADVERTISING & PUBLICITY

If you intend to promote our program via email campaigns, you must adhere to the following:

1. Abide by Canada's anti-spam legislation (CASL).

2. Emails must be sent on your behalf and must not imply that the email is being sent on behalf of Takasa.

3. Promotional emails should also be sent to [email protected].

Any web content or design elements (graphics, banners, etc.) created for the Takasa brand or products by an affiliate partner that are not specifically provided or previously published by Takasa must be approved in advance of being published on your website.

SOCIAL MEDIA

Promotion on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and other social media platforms is encouraged, following these general guidelines:

1. You ARE ALLOWED to promote offers to your own lists; more specifically, you’re welcome to use your affiliate links on your own Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, etc. pages. For example, you may post, “25% off sale at Takasa through Wednesday with code COUPON25.”

2. You ARE PROHIBITED from posting your affiliate links on Takasa’s Facebook, Twitter, etc. company pages in an attempt to turn those links into affiliate sales.

You hereby provide us a non-exclusive license to use media of Takasa products from your social media account(s) for use by Takasa. This allows us to repost your posts on our social. 

OPERATIONS OUTSIDE OF CANADA

If you are conducting business in or taking orders from other countries, you will follow the laws of those countries. For example, you will comply with the European Union’s Privacy and Electronic Communications Directive if you are conducting business in or taking orders from one or more of the European Union countries.

COMMISSIONS AND PAYOUTS

When you refer any customer to make a purchase on our website, you will receive a commission amount which is calculated based on commission structure. Commission amount is dependent on order value and not including extra fees (tax, shipping costs, etc).

For you to receive a commission, you need to specify the payment details in the Settings section. Payments will be made at month-end, in the month end after the 60 day return period has elapsed for the transaction. Payments will only be sent for transactions that have been successfully completed. 

Use of the Affiliate Program is subject to a fair use policy which gives Takasa the right to review each and every referral order. To view the status of your commission, go to the Commission tab where it will be displayed. Any paid commission will be listed in the Payment tab. Transactions that result in charge-backs or refunds will not be paid out.

Cookie

We use a cookie to track people who have clicked on your link, so they need to be using cookies in order for us to track them.

If a person does not allow cookies or clears their cookies, then we cannot track them and in turn, cannot pay earnings on that person's activity.

Cookie days are stated on the Affiliate registration form. The tracking day will start from the time a customer clicks on the affiliate’s link or uses the coupon. Within the cookie time, every order made by this customer through the Takasa website will automatically result in commissions to the affiliate (there’s no need for the customer to click on the affiliate link then).

REVERSAL & COMMUNICATION POLICY

Takasa takes pride in its very low reversal rate, which we attribute to open communication with our affiliates. However, we reserve the right to reverse orders due to order cancellations, duplicate tracking, returns, disputed charges, and program violations as outlined in these terms and conditions.

Additionally, if we ask you for clarification or more information on any orders or clicks that we suspect may be in violation of our terms and conditions, we expect that you will respond in a timely and honest manner. Below are violations of our communications policy.

1. You are not forthcoming, you are intentionally vague, or you are found to be lying.

2. You are not responsive within a reasonable time period and after multiple attempts to make contact using the information listed in your network profile.

3. You cannot substantiate or validate the source of your traffic to our program with clear and demonstrable proof.

If any of the above apply, then we reserve the absolute right to suspend you from the program, reverse orders, modify affiliate payouts, set your commission to 0%, or immediately terminate your participation in our Affiliate Program. We know that many violations are a result of automated processes; however, it is incumbent upon each affiliate to ensure that the appropriate checks and balances are in place to pro-actively address these issues and adhere to our program rules.

DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS

You shall include a disclosure statement within any and all pages/posts where affiliate links for our Affiliate Program are posted as an endorsement or review, and where it is not clear that the link is a paid advertisement. This disclosure statement should be clear and concise, stating that we are compensating you for your review or endorsement. If you received the product for free from us or from the affiliate management team for review, this also must be clearly stated in your disclosure.

TERMINATION / REMOVAL

If an Affiliate wishes to be removed from the Affiliate Program, they can do so by contacting: [email protected]

Takasa has the right to terminate an Affiliate for violating terms of this agreement.

We collect several different types of information for various purposes to provide and improve our provision of services and delivery of products to you and other persons. By accessing our website, ordering any of our products or services, or by providing Personal Information to us, you consent to our Privacy Policy.

The application of this Privacy Policy is limited to Personal Information and does not apply to business information to the extent it is not also Personal Information. Canadian privacy legislation defines “Personal Information” broadly as information about an identifiable individual or as information that allows an individual to be identified.

The types of Personal Information that we may collect about you includes:

• Contact and residency information, such as your full name, home or business address, telephone number, personal email address;

• Financial information, such as billing, banking information, credit card information, credit record information, credit application; and

• Cookies and Usage Data

We also collect any other Personal Information you voluntarily provide to us. For example, if you submit Personal Information to us through any of our online forms, PDF forms, physical forms, by email, by telephone, or in person, we may collect that Personal Information and may use and disclose it as set out in this Privacy Policy or as otherwise described to you at the time of collection.

• For any other purposes that are disclosed to you and to which you consent; and

• For any purposes required by law.

Withdrawal of Consent

You may withdraw your consent to our collection, use, and disclosure of your Personal Information at any time, subject to legal and/or contractual restrictions and reasonable notice. Your withdrawal of consent to our collection, use and disclosure of your Personal Information may impact our ability to provide you with products and services and may impact your ability to use our website. To withdraw consent, please contact our Privacy Officer using the contact information provided below.

Transfer of Information 

In some cases, your information, including Personal Information, may be transferred to — and maintained and processed on — computers located outside of Canada. Therefore, your Personal Information may be available to government authorities under lawful orders and laws applicable in those foreign jurisdictions. When we transfer your Personal Information to a third party to provide administrative, processing, or other services, we use appropriate measures to require that the party will only use your Personal Information to perform the services we specified.

If you are located outside Canada and choose to provide information to us, please note that your data, including Personal Information, may be transferred to Canada and processed there. By ordering any of our products or services, or by sending us any Personal Information, you consent to such transfers.

Takasa will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy and no transfer of your Personal Information will take place to a third party organization unless such organization is obligated to maintain adequate security safeguards over your Personal Information.

Disclosure of Personal Information 

Generally, we do not disclose your Personal Information to third parties without your consent. However, in order to provide you with services, we may need to disclose your Personal Information to our employees, contractors, consultants and other parties who require such information to assist us with managing our relationship, including:

• third parties that provide services to us or on our behalf;

• third parties that assist Takasa in the provision of services to you (such as couriers); and

• third parties whose services we use to conduct our business (such as payment processors).

Additionally, in order to provide you with products or services, we may need to disclose your Personal Information to third party technology companies for the purposes of processing and storing your Personal Information. Our business necessitates using a cloud-based Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system; and payment processors including PayPal, Braintree, and Shopify. We consider these services, platforms, and applications to be integral to our delivery of products and services to you.

Under certain circumstances, Takasa may disclose your Personal Information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g. a court or a government agency).

We reserve the right to transfer Personal Information to a third party in the event that we merge with or are acquired by a third party, or as part of the negotiations leading up to such merger or acquisition. We may also disclose your Personal Information for any other purpose permitted by law or to which you consent.

We may disclose your Personal Information in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to:

Takasa uses appropriate safeguards to ensure that your Personal Information is protected against loss, theft, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, or alteration.

While we endeavour to keep your Personal Information safe, our collection, use, and disclosure of your Personal Information is not without risks. For example, our security safeguards may be compromised by viruses, hacking attempts, or physical break-ins. Consequently, we cannot guarantee the security of your Personal Information. If your Personal Information was wrongfully accessed, there is a risk that you may suffer a harm, such as identity or credit card theft or financial loss.

Please be careful whenever sending Personal Information to us via email. Email is generally not a secure means of transferring information.

You also have a right to request access to your Personal Information and receive an accounting of how that information has been used and disclosed, subject to certain exceptions prescribed by law. For example, if the requested information would reveal Personal Information about another individual, your request for access may be limited or denied.

If you are a European resident, you have the right to access personal information we hold about you and to ask that your personal information be corrected, updated, or deleted. If you would like to exercise this right, please contact us through the contact information below.

Additionally, if you are a European resident we note that we are processing your information in order to fulfill contracts we might have with you (for example if you make an order through the Site), or otherwise to pursue our legitimate business interests listed above.
