1. Subject of the Contract
Subject of the affiliate agreement is the commercial placement of electronic advertisements on the affiliate’s website with the aim of establishing an advertising and operational collaboration for mutual profits.
The merchant offers products and services within the framework of the affiliate programme, which can be found on his website.
The merchant provides a selection of advertisements (logos, banners, graphics, texts, websites among others) as well as detailed instructions regarding how to integrate the advertisements into the affiliate's website. This instruction is part of the affiliate agreement.
By accepting the affiliate agreement, the affiliate receives a personal identification code. The link codes assigned by the affiliate programme enable the registration of those customers mediated through the affiliate’s website.
The merchant agrees to pay the affiliate a commission for bookings of holidays made after a user has been transferred from the affiliate website to the merchant’s website. No commission will be awarded for products and services that are not specified within the framework of the affiliate programme, such as those from third-party suppliers.
This commission is calculated according to Clause 5 of the affiliate agreement.
2. Conclusion of the Contract
The merchant will provide the affiliate with an online registration form. After the affiliate has accepted the affiliate terms and conditions and sends the completed form to the merchant, the application will be reviewed. Upon acceptance, the merchant will send the affiliate a written confirmation. All affiliates must be commercially active and legally capable to contract.
The affiliate certifies that his website is free of illegal information, pornography, racial hatred or extreme political content.
If legal action is taken against the merchant because of affiliate website material, the affiliate is obliged to release the merchant from these claims, especially from administrative penalties or damages, including the cost of a legal defence.
When the affiliate contract is signed, the affiliate gains the non-transferable and at anytime redeemable right to use material published on the merchant's website for marketing purposes by the creation of links to the merchant's website. The affiliate may not alter the merchant’s material without the merchant's express written consent.
The editor of the merchant's website retains copyright of all merchant’s material used in the affiliate programme and all information accessible through the merchant’s websites.
This licence expires with termination of the affiliate contract.
A change in the URL-address of the affiliate website does not alter the affiliate agreement and the rights and obligations of this contract remain unaffected.
The affiliate places an affiliate programme advertisement of his choice on his website and thereby links to the merchant’s website. By means of the affiliate's unique link code, the merchant’s registration system identifies customers, who were mediated by the website of the affiliate. The links can lead to different areas of the merchant's website.
Modification of the links is only possible with permission from the merchant. The merchant reserves the right to modify the links at any time.
The production of supplementary advertisement material referring to the merchant may only take place with the understanding of the merchant. They may be inserted only after express written consent.
a) Payment mode
The affiliate will receive a commission for every booking of a holiday from a user who was mediated from the affiliate’s site. The claim for the commission arises on the day of travel departure. Settlement and payment occurs monthly. The percentage rate of the commission lies between 5 and 10%. The default commission is 5%. Higher commission levels will be assigned depending on sales volume, and also on the type of cooperation. Major customers, such as web portals and comparable pages with a high numbers of visitors may in part receive - also for separate campaigns - higher commissions. There are six commission levels:

With his ID and password the affiliate gains access to his personal online statistics, enabling him to get information about the actual level of his sales volume and the accumulated commission.
The calculation of the commission depends on the sales volume regarding the merchant’s holidays, achieved by the respective ID within one fiscal year (all travel departures between June 1 and May 31). The classification of the commissions for the next fiscal year will occur automatically and generally takes place in June.
Through the payment of the commission all costs, expenses and claims arising for the affiliate in connection with the intermediation of the merchant’s products are completely compensated.
b) Calculation basis
The calculation basis for the commission settlement is the sales volume in euro according to the exchange rate on the day of the settlement. The sales volume in euro can be viewed online in the affiliate area. The complete sales are taken into account for the commission including all booked extras. Encashed cancellation costs as well as additional bookings and booking alterations will entirely count for the calculation of the commission.
No commission will be paid on additional charges or taxes (e.g. keycard, tourist tax), nor flights, as the merchant passes these prices on to the customer without mark-ups.
If the booked holiday cannot be performed due to an act of God (force majeure) or due to not having reached the minimum number of participants, no commission claims arise for the affiliate. If only a part of the holiday has to be cancelled, the commission will be accorded to the proportionate holiday price.
The merchant will provide all information needed to properly set up the links for the affiliate. The instructions developed by the merchant are standard in this case.
The merchant administrates bookings mediated through affiliate links, records the amount and sum of sales intermediated by the affiliate, provides the affiliate with a booking statistics, manages dispatch, payment, cancellation and all corresponding customer services.
The affiliate is solely responsible for the correct technical integration of the links into the affiliate sites. As such, the affiliate should only use links provided in the context of the affiliate programme. Otherwise the correct registration and accounting of sales cannot be guaranteed.
The affiliate is responsible for the set-up, operation and maintenance of the website, as well as for the accuracy and propriety of the presented content. The affiliate is responsible for the technical operation, in particular for the functionality of the links to the merchant’s website, as well as for the guarantee that the content of their website is not offensive to third party rights and does not break any laws.
If the affiliate breaches these duties and third party claims of damages against the merchant result from the breach, the affiliate is obliged to release the merchant from these claims. This includes legal costs arising from a rejection of these claims or through apparent misuse by the affiliate.
The affiliate may not arrange their website in a way which might lead to a danger of confusion with the merchant’s website, or gives the impression that the website of the affiliate is all or a part of the merchant’s website. Exempt therefrom are the webpages provided by the merchant in the context of the affiliate programme. Furthermore the affiliate is forbidden from publishing advertisements with the keyword SNOWTREX (also not in modified spelling) in internet directories and search engines (Google, Google Adwords, Yahoo etc.) as the term SNOWTREX is a protected trademark. For every offence a contractual penalty of 1.500,00 € is stipulated. The merchants reserves the right to raise further claims. The affiliate is not authorized to generate or accept any offers, negotiate or sign contracts in the name of the merchant. In addition he is forbidden from giving the impression to third parties that he is a legal representative of the merchant. Upon breach of these responsibilities, the affiliate is fully liable for damages against the merchant
The affiliate agreement can be cancelled at any time by either party without indication of a reason. In this case the affiliate is bound to delete any SnowTrex banners or buttons. The affiliate has no right of retention and no right of counterbalancing.
The merchant is obligated to credit commissions on sailes up to that point unless the merchant holds claims for damages against the affiliate.
9. Place of Jurisdiction
German commercial law applies. Cologne (Germany) is stipulated as the place of jurisdiction for disputes arising from this contract.
The merchant reserves the right to amend regulations and stipulations of this contract at anytime. The affiliate will be informed about any amendments by e-mail. If no cancellation of the contract is received within one week after reception of this e-mail, the amendment is considered as accepted.
All information, especially that regarding business, finances, customers, lists of buyers, as well as price and sales information must be treated with confidentiality. It may be used neither directly nor indirectly for personal economic gains or other purposes. Alternative stipulations require written form.
This does not apply for information which is generally known or can be obtained through public sources which are not the possession of the respective contractual party. Both parties have the right to forward this information in case of a court order, if the person to whom the information is given is bound to official secrecy or if a legal obligation exists that forces the delivery.
E-mail addresses as well as all user data may only be used for internal purposes. The declaration regarding privacy as found in this contract is in this case authoritative.
The merchant assures that its website is operating within the current technical possibilities. The merchant assumes no liability for further claims.
The liability of special agents, of persons employed in performing an obligation, and of vicarious agents is limited to intent and gross negligence. In case of contractual liability for damages of the merchant, the liability for economic losses is limited to the typical damage, which was foreseeable at the time of signing the agreement, maximal to the extent of the average monthly commission over the last six months. Should the contract expire earlier, the shorter period is authoritative for the calculation of the damage.
In the case of loss of data, the merchant is only liable if the affiliate backs up his data once a day. This liability, as previously regulated, is limited in this case as well.
Any liability under the product liability law remains unaffected.
If one of the contractual clauses is ineffective, both parties will endeavour to find a regulation which comes close to the economic purpose of the ineffective agreement. The other regulations of this contract remain unaffected.
