Partner Programme Terms.
These terms govern independent influencer, affiliate, creator, travel-agent and industry-partner accounts, tracked referrals, commission evidence and payouts.
1. Separate partner account
A Travel Desk customer or agent subscription is not required. Partners use a separate login. An existing customer may optionally link their agent email, but partner status does not alter the customer plan or entitlement.
2. Application and approval
Applying does not guarantee acceptance. Travel Desk may approve, decline, pause or suspend an account to protect customers, the brand, platform integrity or legal compliance.
3. Independent promotion and status review
Participants choose whether, when and how to promote Travel Desk, subject to these terms and applicable law. Contract labels alone do not determine employment or tax status; the real relationship must be considered.
4. Advertising disclosure
Every relevant promotion must make the commercial or affiliate relationship obvious before or at the point of engagement. Partners must follow applicable ASA/CAP guidance, consumer law and platform advertising rules.
5. Tracking, cookies and attribution
Approved participants receive a unique link and QR code. Persistent optional attribution storage and click measurement operate only where the visitor has accepted optional cookies. The referral code may remain in the current URL journey without optional storage. The default attribution window is 90 days. Fraudulent, duplicate, self-referred, incentivised or improperly disclosed traffic may be rejected.
6. Commission tiers
Bronze is 15% for the first 12 paid months and 15% thereafter. Silver is 20% and 20%; Gold is 25% then 15%; Platinum is 30% then 15%. Higher tiers are assigned by Travel Desk based on performance, strategic value or a written agreement. Custom terms may be recorded for an approved partner. Tier changes apply prospectively unless confirmed otherwise in writing.
7. When commission starts
A trial or registration does not earn commission. Commission starts only after the referred customer’s first successful eligible payment and continues on eligible paid invoices while the subscription remains active and the partner relationship remains valid.
8. Validation, refunds and reversals
Commission excludes taxes and invalid revenue and remains pending during the validation period. Refunds, disputes, chargebacks, fraud or cancellations may reduce or reverse unpaid commission. Overpayments may be offset against future commission.
9. Payouts
The launch minimum payout is £50 unless a different approved threshold is shown in the partner portal. Approved partners connect a payout account through Stripe Connect and may choose a manual payout request, an automatic fortnightly schedule or an automatic monthly schedule. Automatic processing remains subject to the Travel Desk global payout switch, validation, available Stripe balance, connected-account eligibility, refunds, disputes and compliance review. Travel Desk does not collect or store the partner’s bank-account details. Manual payment evidence remains available as an owner-controlled contingency.
10. Tax and records
Partners are responsible for their own tax, National Insurance, VAT, invoices and filings. Travel Desk retains click, attribution, invoice, commission, transfer, reversal and payout evidence, links completed payouts to its existing Finance & Tax operations and provides tax-year records, but it does not provide personal tax advice, determine employment status or file returns.
11. Content and brand rules
Partners must not make false claims, promise guaranteed income, misstate prices, commission rates or product capabilities, impersonate Travel Desk, bid on protected brand terms without permission, or use unlawful, discriminatory or misleading content. Only current approved marketing assets should be used.
12. Termination
Either party may end participation. Valid commission already earned remains subject to validation, reversals, minimum payout and legal review. Tracking links may be disabled immediately on suspension or termination.

These operational terms should receive qualified UK legal and tax review before unrestricted commercial launch.
