Nourish Parents Limited is referred to here as “Nourish Parents”, “Nourish”, “us”, or “we”
The Affiliate Programme is also referred to here as “Programme”.
“Activity” refers to any activity, including recommending or mentioning any products or services owned by Nourish Parents, orally or in writing, on any platform and in any context, that you conduct to promote the products and services of Nourish Parents (referred to here as “Products”).
1. Description of the Affiliate Program
The Affiliate Program permits you to monetize any Activity that you conduct to promote the Products of Nourish Parents, including but not limited to the Nourish App, by offering a unique code (referred to here as your “Unique Code") that our clients will provide to allow us to track customers that have heard about our Products via your Activity.
When our customers enter the Unique Code, you can receive commission income for qualifying purchases. In order to facilitate your advertisement of these items or services, we may make available to you data, images, text, link formats, widgets, links, marketing content, and other linking tools and other information in connection with the Affiliate Program (“Program Content").
