COMPLIANCE WITH ALL LAWS
You must comply with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations when promoting TLC.

Communications
We believe in open dialogue with Affiliates. You must provide such information as we may request, upon request, otherwise it may not be possible to substantiate your claims for a commission. Clarity and truthful communication are vital in order for us to trust you, and it is a condition of being an Affiliate that we can trust you. We reserve the absolute right to reverse orders, set your commission to 0% or suspend you or terminate you from the program for the period or orders in question if this communication and truthfulness do not exist.
Details of the offers under the Affiliate Programme will be published from time to time. We will pay you commission based on the evidence that we have of the number of relevant purchases made by customers that you introduce. Your Link to a particular URL, or a customer's cookie, should ordinarily provide such evidence. Our calculations based on such parameters are final. Cookies may only remain active for a certain amount of time or may be disabled, and this may affect the amount of commission that can be evidenced.
We reserve the right to reverse commission payment either due or made due to order cancellations, duplicate tracking, returns, disputed charges, and program violations as outlined in these terms and conditions. We know that many violations are a result of automated processes; however, it is incumbent upon each affiliate to ensure that it has the appropriate checks and balances in place to pro-actively address these issues and adhere to our program rules.
