    You may ONLY advertise coupon codes that are provided to you through the Program or that are displayed on the Carlinkit CarPlay Site.

    You are not responsive within a reasonable time period and after multiple attempts to contact with information listed in your network profile.
    You cannot substantiate or validate the source of your traffic to our Program with clear and demonstrable proof.
    If any of the above applies, then we reserve the right to reverse orders, set your commission to 0% or suspend you from the Program for the period or orders in question. We know that many violations are a result of automated processes; however it is incumbent upon you to ensure that you have the appropriate checks and balances in place to pro-actively address these issues and adhere to our Program.
