The Affiliate undertakes to keep confidential information in a secure manner and to inform Adrecord immediately of suspicions that unauthorised persons have gained knowledge of or used confidential information.
The Affiliate pledges to comply with all applicable laws and ordinances on its website and guarantees that all data that has been supplied to Adrecord is complete and correct and that the data is consistent with actual circumstances.
The Affiliate guarantees that the rights to all content on the Affiliate's website are held by the Affiliate, or that the owner of the right has explicitly granted consent for the use. The Affiliate also guarantees that the content of the Affiliate’s own website does not infringe the rights of any natural person or legal entity, including intellectual property rights.

If posts are published on social media without clear identification as advertising, we will be compelled to end the cooperation.
Adrecord has the right to review all traffic using manual and automatic tools and as it sees fit to assess traffic as fake traffic for which no remuneration is paid. Fake traffic relates for example to, but is not restricted to, traffic that has not been generated by active independent activities of visitors in the form of natural persons on the Affiliate's website.
Breaches of system or network security may lead to prosecution. Adrecord investigates all forms of such breaches in cooperation with the appropriate authorities.
Terms and conditions applicable to affiliate remuneration at any time are stated on the Adrecord website, and Adrecord reserves the right to amend such terms and conditions without notifying the Affiliate beforehand.
Remuneration is calculated by Adrecord and based solely on traffic statistics maintained by Adrecord and on traffic for which Adrecord has received full remuneration from the advertiser.
Payment takes place each calendar month to the bank account stated by the Affiliate if remuneration which is approved and is paid by the advertiser totals at least five hundred (500) Swedish kronor (SEK) or equivalent amount in another currency. The equivalent limit for salary earners is three hundred (300) SEK and payments take place regularly.
Remuneration may be withdrawn without prior warning by the Advertiser or Adrecord in the event of errors in the system, if an Affiliate does not fulfil the terms and conditions of an affiliate programme or the terms and conditions of Adrecord's agreement, recalled traffic, fake traffic or if Adrecord is not paid by or becomes involved in a dispute with an advertiser. Recall of remuneration may take place in arrears for registered, non-paid remuneration and also for remuneration already paid.
If the Affiliate cannot demonstrate valid documentation for the Affiliate's own payment of applicable tax and other statutory duties in the country concerned, Adrecord will deduct an equivalent sum before payment is made to the Affiliate. If the Affiliate's documentation and circumstances regarding its own tax payment change, this must be immediately notified to Adrecord.
The agreement applies from the time you have been approved as an Affiliate until the agreement is terminated by either party or is cancelled.
Adrecord has the right to cancel the agreement and bar the Affiliate from Adrecord's services and/or the affiliate programme of a particular advertiser in the event that the Affiliate does not comply with Adrecord's user terms or the terms and conditions of this agreement and also if Adrecord considers the content of the Affiliate's website to be unsuitable or if the Affiliate misuses the service in some other way.
