The In House Referrer SchemeExisting customers who have already purchased from The Hut Group will be sent an email explaining the referral scheme and how they can earn credit from driving new customers to the site.For example:• Existing customer logs into their account on IdealFit and goes to referral section.• Existing customer creates link to IdealFit to share on social media.• New customer clicks on that link and makes first purchase on IdealFit either by entering referral code at checkout or after an automatic discount has been applied after clicking on a referral link.• Existing customer receives credit to spend on IdealFit as a reward.

All referral sales will be de-duped against affiliate sales and there will be a slight change to the usual last-click method of tracking in certain circumstances:• If a new customer uses a referral code or link then clicks an affiliate link (within 30minutes of the first click), this sale will be attributed to the referral scheme• If an affiliate link is used 30 minutes or more after the referral link is clicked and no referrer code is redeemed then the affiliate will still be awarded the last click and receive commission for this saleNote: Whenever a referrer code is used, the sale will not track via affiliates.

Cookieless Vouchercode TrackingIdealfit uses cookie-less voucher tracking for some of our influencer partners. This means that the transaction is always attributed to the publisher who is given the exclusive voucher. When the voucher is used, transactions will be tracked regardless of whether a click has happened or not. Please speak to your account contact for more information.

please do not use the word ‘official’ in your advertisements.We are happy for affiliates to bid on generic terms, however direct linking is prohibited. Any affiliates who do not abide by these rules do risk having their commissions set to zero and possible suspension.
