BRAND BIDDING, DISCOUNT CODE SEO, FRAUD & PROHIBITED PRACTICES

5.1 Strictly prohibited activities include:

• Bidding on keywords or phrases containing "Outrank," "Outrank.so," or any close variations or misspellings in any paid advertising platform, including Google Ads, Bing, Meta, TikTok, or similar platforms;

• Creating, publishing, or promoting pages, posts, videos, listings, ads, domains, or metadata designed to rank for or capture search traffic related to "Outrank discount code," "Outrank coupon," "Outrank promo code," "Outrank deal," or similar commercial-intent discount queries;

• Listing Outrank discount codes on coupon websites, deal aggregators, browser-extension coupon tools, voucher directories, cashback websites, or similar platforms unless Outrank has given prior written approval;

• Using SEO tactics, backlinks, schema markup, exact-match domains, page titles, headings, or indexed landing pages primarily designed to attract users searching for Outrank discount, coupon, promo, or deal terms;

• Advertising or promoting an Outrank discount code as the primary offer in paid ads, search ads, sponsored listings, or other acquisition campaigns;

• Impersonating Outrank or misleading users into believing the Affiliate is an official Outrank representative;

• Using fake accounts, bots, fraudulent identities, artificially generated traffic, misleading redirects, cloaking, click fraud, cookie stuffing, incentivized clicks, or any other manipulation of attribution or performance metrics.

5.2 Personalized discount codes are permitted only as an attribution and tracking aid within genuine Affiliate content, such as authentic product reviews, tutorials, educational videos, audio content, newsletters, community posts, or other content where the Affiliate is adding meaningful original value.

5.3 Discount codes must not be used for SEO traffic hacking, coupon-search capture, or brand-demand interception. The code should support genuine audience attribution, not serve as the main reason for the content's existence.

5.4 Affiliates must clearly disclose their affiliate relationship where required by applicable law, platform rules, or advertising standards. Affiliate promotions must not be misleading and must clearly identify any commercial relationship where necessary.

5.5 If we suspect or detect any activity that:

• Infringes on our intellectual property;

• Misleads users;

• Damages our brand reputation;

• Manipulates performance metrics;

• Captures existing Outrank demand through unauthorized coupon, discount, promo-code, or brand-search tactics;

• Harms our ability to operate, advertise, or maintain fair attribution —

we reserve the right to:

• Immediately terminate your affiliate account;

• Void current and future commissions;

• Withhold all unpaid commissions;

• Claw back any previously paid commissions;

• Remove or deactivate discount codes, links, or tracking identifiers;

• Pursue legal action for damages, including reputational harm, lost revenue, attribution abuse, or advertising penalties.

5.6 Determination of such violations will be at Outrank's sole discretion, and our decisions are final.

5.7 No self-referrals. Affiliates may not earn commissions on purchases made by themselves, their household members, their employer, any entity they own or control, or via accounts they created, operate, or influence for the purpose of earning commissions. Outrank may void such commissions.

GOOD FAITH & VIABILITY CLAUSE

6.1  We value our affiliate relationships and strive to reward those who support our growth.

6.2  However, as an AI-driven company with rapidly evolving infrastructure costs (e.g., LLM pricing, compute usage), we must retain flexibility to ensure the Program remains commercially viable.

6.3  We reserve the right to adjust the Program to align with financial realities, without incurring long-term liabilities that jeopardize the business.

⸻

INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR STATUS

7.1  You are an independent contractor. Nothing in these Terms shall create any partnership, employment, or agency relationship between you and Outrank.

⸻

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

8.1  To the maximum extent permitted by law, Outrank shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

8.2  In any case, our total liability shall not exceed the commissions paid to you in the three months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

⸻

GOVERNING LAW

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of France, and any disputes arising out of or in connection with these Terms shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Paris.

⸻

AGREEMENT

 •  You have read and understood these Terms;

 •  You agree to comply fully;

PLAIN ENGLISH SUMMARY (NOT LEGALLY BINDING)

We’re offering a generous 30 % monthly commission — and we’d love for it to be “forever.” But running an AI business is expensive and unpredictable. If we need to make changes (like capping commissions to 12 months or ending the program), we reserve the right to do that.

Don’t bid on our brand name or use fake accounts — we’ll cut you off and claw back commissions if you do.

We want our partners to win with us, but only if it’s ethical and sustainable.
