Affiliate terms.

Joining & approval

The program is free to join. Applicants must be at least 18 and use a verified MARLIN account. MARLIN reviews each application and may approve, reject or suspend participation. A referral link is active only while the affiliate is approved. Decisions and status are shown in the dashboard; submission does not guarantee approval.

Commission

The rate is 10% of eligible MARLIN product amounts actually paid after discounts, excluding delivery and taxes. Earnings are recorded in the order’s currency and rounded to that currency’s payment unit. Currencies are tracked separately. Canceled or refunded product amounts, fraudulent orders and self-referrals do not earn commission. Disputed orders are excluded. Partial refunds are held for review. MARLIN allocates the refunded product amount separately from refunded delivery or tax before releasing the remaining eligible earnings.

Purchase benefits

When member pricing is active, approved affiliates receive 30% off regular MARLIN clothing while signed in to their verified affiliate account. An active affiliate link can also include a customer offer. The current offer is displayed in the shop after the visitor allows referral tracking. Benefits apply to products; delivery is charged separately. Discounts cannot be combined. If another published offer gives a lower price, that price applies.

Member pricing is for the affiliate’s own purchases. No affiliate commission is earned on these purchases, including orders placed through another affiliate’s link. Customer referral commission remains 10% of eligible product amounts actually paid after the customer discount, excluding delivery and taxes. Prices and delivery availability are confirmed in the bag before payment. Benefits are available only while affiliate approval and the offer remain active.

Referral window

An approved referral link identifies the affiliate. We ask the visitor to allow a referral cookie before storing attribution. If allowed, the first eligible referral remains for 30 days in the same browser. A later link does not replace it during that window. No commission is attributed if tracking is declined, blocked, deleted or expires before checkout. Cross-device tracking is not supported. Affiliate account owners and orders using their account email are excluded from their own referrals.

Review & payouts

New commissions are pending until MARLIN reviews the paid order and any refunds. Available balances can be requested in the dashboard by currency. MARLIN arranges payments directly with the affiliate. A request reserves the available balance; it does not send money automatically. Payment method, currency conversion if needed, fees and timing must be agreed before payment. You are responsible for your applicable tax reporting. Refunded or disputed earnings may be deducted, withheld or recovered, including after a payout.

How to promote

Clearly disclose your commercial relationship and that you can earn commission wherever you share your link. Use honest claims and follow the advertising rules that apply to your audience. Do not use spam, misleading discounts, impersonation, unauthorised brand bidding, cookie stuffing or paid traffic that misrepresents MARLIN. Do not promise products, delivery dates or benefits that MARLIN has not published. Refer people to the current store information.

Your data & contact

We store your account identity, application, program status, referral code, commission records and payout history to operate the program. Only the authorised MARLIN administrator can review applications and payout records. Affiliates see their own earnings without customer addresses or contact details. Read the privacy policy for the store’s broader data handling. For questions, corrections or to leave the program, email elias@wearmarlin.com.
