Affiliate Programm Terms

1. General Provisions

(1) These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter "T&C") govern participation in the Family’s World Affiliate Program (hereinafter "Affiliate Program"), operated by Family’s World GmbH, represented by the website www.familys-world.com (hereinafter "Family’s World").

(2) By registering and participating in the Affiliate Program, the participant (hereinafter "Affiliate") accepts these T&C.

(3) The Affiliate Program is exclusively directed at entrepreneurs as defined by § 14 BGB (German Civil Code). An entrepreneur is any natural or legal person or a partnership with legal personality who, when entering into a legal transaction, acts in the exercise of their commercial or independent professional activity.

2. Subject Matter of the Agreement

(1) The subject of these T&C is the participation in the Family’s World Affiliate Program, which is intended to increase the sales of products offered by Family’s World via the website www.familys-world.com. Participation is free of charge. Family’s World provides the Affiliate with an affiliate link and/or an individual discount code for this purpose.

(2) The Affiliate places the provided affiliate link and/or discount code on their own responsibility on their websites or social media channels. The Affiliate decides if and for how long they use them and can remove them at any time.

(3) If a third party clicks on the affiliate link or uses the Affiliate's discount code and this results in a qualifying purchase, the Affiliate receives a commission.

(5) The partner program does not establish any further contractual relationship between the Affiliate and Family’s World.
