Welcome to Vake & Vera! Thank you for your interest in our Affiliate program.
The following terms and conditions apply to individuals who are accessing or using the Program both as a merchant (“we” or “merchant”) and an affiliate (“you” or “affiliate”) who refers customers to use product or service from the merchant.
By participating in the Program, Affiliates agree to use the Program in the manner specified in, and are bound by, these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree to these Terms and Conditions in their entirety you are not authorized to register as an Affiliate or participate in the Program in any manner.

4.4. Using images or content supplied by a third party without written permission from that third party to promote your own affiliate link will result in exclusion from the program if Vake & Vera receive a complaint from the third party. (The reason for this is that the original creator may want to profit from their work by using their own affiliate code with the images they put time and effort into creating).

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