Pawport Affiliate Program Terms

Program Overview

The Pawport Affiliate Program is designed for creators, publishers, and partners who produce original content that introduces Pawport to new audiences through trusted recommendations.

All affiliates must apply through Refersion and be approved before participating. Pawport reserves the right to approve or reject any application at its sole discretion.

This program is separate from Pawport’s installer, wholesale, and other partnership programs.

Creator Partnership Agreements

Certain affiliates may also participate in separate creator, influencer, ambassador, UGC, product exchange, sponsored content, or other partnership programs with Pawport pursuant to a separate written agreement ("Creator Agreement").

To the extent an affiliate is subject to a Creator Agreement, the terms of the Creator Agreement shall govern and control with respect to the subject matter covered by that agreement.

In the event of any conflict between a Creator Agreement and these Affiliate Program Terms, the Creator Agreement shall control during the term of the Creator Agreement.

Upon completion, expiration, or termination of the Creator Agreement, the affiliate's continued participation in the Pawport Affiliate Program shall be governed solely by these Affiliate Program Terms, as amended from time to time.

Content Usage Rights

By participating in the Pawport Affiliate Program, affiliates grant Pawport a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, modify, distribute, and display any content created in connection with the program. 

This includes the right for Pawport to:

•Repost content across owned channels (website, social media, email, etc.)

•Use content in paid advertising and promotional campaigns

•Edit or adapt content for marketing purposes

Affiliates acknowledge that Pawport may use such content without prior notice, approval, or additional permission.

Participation in the program constitutes agreement to these terms.

No additional compensation is required for such usage unless otherwise agreed upon in writing.

Music & Third-Party Materials

Affiliates are solely responsible for ensuring that all music, audio, images, video clips, fonts, graphics, and other third-party materials included in their content are copyright-free, royalty-free, or otherwise properly licensed for commercial use.

Any third-party license must permit the affiliate’s intended use and Pawport’s use of the content in accordance with the Content Usage Rights section of these Terms, including organic social media, websites, email marketing, paid advertising, and other promotional campaigns.

The availability of music or other material within a social media platform’s library does not necessarily grant permission for commercial use, paid advertising, or use outside that platform. Affiliates must confirm that they have obtained all rights necessary before publishing or submitting content.

Affiliates may not include any music or third-party material that limits Pawport’s ability to use, reproduce, edit, adapt, distribute, or display the content as permitted under these Terms. Upon request, affiliates must provide documentation demonstrating that the necessary licenses, permissions, or releases have been obtained.

Affiliates are responsible for any claims, fees, penalties, damages, or other liabilities arising from music or third-party materials included in content they create, publish, or submit.

Content Removal

Pawport reserves the right to request removal or modification of any affiliate content at any time.

Affiliates must comply with such requests within a reasonable timeframe.

Failure to comply may result in removal from the program, withholding of unpaid commissions, and/or termination of the affiliate account.

Pawport may take action without prior notice in cases involving misleading, non-compliant, or brand-damaging content.

Pawport Assets, Limited License & Brand Usage

All photographs, videos, graphics, logos, trademarks, product images, written copy, design files, brand materials, and other content provided by Pawport through the Affiliate Program (“Pawport Assets”) are and shall remain the exclusive property of Pawport. Participation in the Affiliate Program does not transfer any ownership rights in the Pawport Assets to an affiliate.

Pawport grants approved affiliates a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and non-sublicensable license to use Pawport Assets solely to create and publish content promoting Pawport in accordance with these Affiliate Program Terms. Pawport Assets may not be used by applicants who have not yet been approved or by former affiliates whose participation in the program has ended.

Affiliates may not:

•Use Pawport Assets for any purpose unrelated to promoting Pawport through the Affiliate Program

•Provide, sell, license, distribute, or otherwise make Pawport Assets available to another person or business

•Use Pawport Assets on behalf of another company, product, or brand

•Modify Pawport logos, branding, product images, or other assets without Pawport’s prior written permission

•Remove or obscure any copyright, trademark, watermark, or other ownership notice

•Use Pawport Assets in a false, misleading, disparaging, unlawful, or brand-damaging manner

•Use Pawport Assets in a way that suggests the affiliate owns the assets, created the assets, or officially represents Pawport

•Bid on Pawport trademarks or branded keywords in paid search

•Register domains containing “Pawport” or confusingly similar brand terms

•Create websites, social media accounts, or other profiles that appear to be owned, operated, or officially endorsed by Pawport

No Pawport Asset may be used without Pawport’s permission. Pawport may revoke permission to use any Pawport Asset at any time. Upon Pawport’s request or upon suspension or termination from the Affiliate Program, the affiliate must immediately stop using and remove the applicable Pawport Assets.

Except for the limited license expressly granted above, Pawport reserves all rights in and to the Pawport Assets, trademarks, branding, and other intellectual property.

Channel Protection & Deduplication

•Disclosures must be easy to notice, understandable, and placed appropriately within the content

•Affiliates must comply with the rules and policies of any platform used for promotion (including TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, etc.)

•Content must not contain false, misleading, or unverified claims

Failure to comply may result in removal from the program and forfeiture of commissions.

Confidentiality

During participation in the Affiliate Program, affiliates may receive or gain access to nonpublic or proprietary information relating to Pawport, including unreleased products or features, product specifications, launch plans, pricing, promotions, marketing strategies, campaign details, performance data, customer information, business operations, technical information, and other information identified as confidential or that a reasonable person would understand to be confidential (“Confidential Information”).

Affiliates agree to:

•Use Confidential Information only as necessary to participate in the Affiliate Program

•Protect Confidential Information using reasonable safeguards

•Not disclose Confidential Information to any third party without Pawport’s prior written permission

•Not use Confidential Information for personal benefit or for the benefit of any person or business other than Pawport

•Promptly notify Pawport of any known or suspected unauthorized access, use, or disclosure

Confidential Information does not include information that the affiliate can demonstrate:

•Was publicly available through no violation of these Terms

•Was lawfully known to the affiliate before it was provided by Pawport

•Was lawfully obtained from a third party without a duty of confidentiality

•Was independently developed without using Pawport’s Confidential Information

If an affiliate is legally required to disclose Confidential Information, the affiliate must, to the extent permitted by law, provide Pawport with prompt written notice and reasonable assistance before disclosure. The affiliate may disclose only the portion of Confidential Information legally required.

Upon Pawport’s request or upon termination of participation in the Affiliate Program, the affiliate must stop using and, where reasonably possible, delete or return all Confidential Information in their possession or control.

These confidentiality obligations survive suspension, deactivation, or termination from the Affiliate Program.
