Cult Beauty encourages affiliates to contact us for exclusive voucher/discount codes and additional incentives.

Affiliates may only promote codes that are provided through the Cult Beauty affiliate program (either through our account or directly from Cult Beauty Affiliate Manager).

Cult Beauty 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.
