These Affiliate Terms of Service and Affiliate Program Operating Agreement (“Agreement”) govern participation in the Banditos Insiders Program and apply to all affiliates, insiders, ambassadors, creators, media partners, promotional partners, community members, crew members, automotive culture participants, influencers, collaborators, and all other individuals or entities (“Participant”, “Affiliate”, “you”, or “your”) participating in, accessing, promoting, or otherwise interacting with the Banditos affiliate, referral, ambassador, creator, and community ecosystem operated by Dutch Business Sales Company B.V., trading under the name Banditos Exclusive Beverage and operating under the brand name Banditos Energy (“Banditos”, “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”).

By registering for the Banditos Insiders Program, creating an affiliate account, accessing affiliate dashboards, using referral links, sharing discount codes, participating in ambassador activities, engaging in promotional campaigns, participating in community activities, attending automotive or lifestyle events connected to the Banditos brand, submitting promotional content, or otherwise participating in the Program in any manner, you acknowledge and agree to be legally bound by this Agreement together with the Company’s Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, Earnings System Agreement, Shipping & Delivery Policy, Return & Refund Policy, Beverage Safety Disclaimer, and all related legal policies, operational rules, campaign conditions, or platform notices published by the Company from time to time.

If you do not agree to this Agreement in its entirety, you may not participate in the Program.

1. PROGRAM STRUCTURE & SCOPE

The Banditos Insiders Program operates as an international affiliate, ambassador, creator, referral, promotional, and community-based ecosystem connected to the Banditos Energy brand and related ecommerce, lifestyle, automotive, creator, and digital marketing activities.

The Program may include multiple participation categories, including standard insiders, affiliates, ambassadors, key ambassadors, creators, media support members, promotional partners, community members, automotive culture participants, event collaborators, and additional participation structures determined by the Company at its sole discretion.

Participation in the Program is voluntary, revocable, non-exclusive, and conditional upon continuous compliance with this Agreement and all applicable laws, regulations, disclosure obligations, platform policies, and operational rules.

Participants act exclusively as independent contractors. Participation in the Program does not create any employment relationship, sponsorship entitlement, agency relationship, fiduciary relationship, franchise relationship, partnership, joint venture, distribution agreement, reseller authorization, territorial exclusivity, or commercial representation relationship between the Company and the Participant.

Nothing contained within the Program shall be interpreted as guaranteeing future collaborations, event participation, sponsorships, visibility, social media exposure, earnings, business opportunities, or long-term participation rights.

The Company reserves the unrestricted right to modify, restructure, regionalize, suspend, discontinue, expand, limit, replace, or terminate any aspect of the Program, commission structures, payout systems, campaign structures, affiliate mechanics, referral systems, participation categories, creator structures, or community systems at any time without prior notice.

2. ELIGIBILITY & PARTICIPATION REQUIREMENTS

Participation in the Program is only permitted to individuals legally capable of entering binding agreements under applicable law within their jurisdiction.

Participants must comply with all laws, advertising regulations, consumer protection laws, disclosure obligations, ecommerce regulations, tax obligations, influencer marketing rules, platform policies, social media regulations, and local legal requirements applicable within their jurisdiction.

Participation in the Program is restricted to individuals who are at least sixteen (16) years old where legally permitted. Where local legislation imposes higher minimum age requirements relating to affiliate marketing, caffeinated beverages, ecommerce activities, influencer marketing, or promotional participation, such higher local requirements shall prevail.

Participants below the age of eighteen (18) confirm that valid parental or legal guardian consent has been obtained where required under applicable law.

The Company reserves the unrestricted right to approve, reject, restrict, suspend, terminate, or permanently deny participation applications at its discretion and for any lawful reason.

The Company may request identity verification, age verification, social media verification, payment verification, PayPal verification, tax documentation, address confirmation, parental consent documentation, or additional information where reasonably necessary for fraud prevention, payment verification, legal compliance, operational integrity, reputational protection, security enforcement, or platform compliance purposes.

3. REFERRAL LINKS, TRACKING & COOKIE TECHNOLOGIES

Approved Participants may receive referral links, affiliate dashboards, tracking identifiers, campaign assets, discount codes, referral systems, analytics systems, and related affiliate tools connected to the Program.

Referral attribution generally operates on a last-click attribution basis using cookies and related tracking technologies with an intended ninety (90) day cookie duration unless otherwise specified by the Company.

Tracking functionality depends on numerous technical, operational, legal, and third-party factors outside the Company’s reasonable control, including browser settings, cookie deletion, cookie rejection, privacy restrictions, ad blockers, cross-device behavior, browser limitations, operating-system limitations, Shopify limitations, GoAffPro limitations, software conflicts, payment interruptions, network interruptions, analytics disruptions, session expiration, telecommunications failures, consent preferences, ecommerce synchronization delays, technical outages, or related technical limitations.

Where legally required under GDPR, ePrivacy legislation, or local cookie legislation, affiliate tracking technologies may only become active following valid cookie consent obtained through the Platform’s consent systems.

If a customer rejects cookies or tracking consent, affiliate attribution may fail and commissions may therefore not be assigned.

Tracking systems, dashboard statistics, estimated earnings, click reporting, conversion reporting, analytics data, attributed transactions, referral data, and payout calculations may be delayed, estimated, incomplete, inconsistent, interrupted, inaccurate, unavailable, or subject to revision.

The Company does not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free tracking functionality and shall not be liable for tracking failures, attribution discrepancies, analytics inaccuracies, deleted cookies, software limitations, dashboard inaccuracies, technical interruptions, or lost commissions.

The Company retains sole and final discretion regarding referral attribution, transaction qualification, payout eligibility, referral legitimacy, commission validation, traffic legitimacy, discount-code validity, and conversion approval.

The Company reserves the unrestricted right to deactivate, suspend, replace, revoke, modify, limit, or terminate referral links, affiliate dashboards, discount codes, campaign permissions, tracking systems, or promotional permissions at any time.

4. COMMISSION STRUCTURE

Standard affiliate commissions are generally calculated at ten percent (10%) of the qualifying net product subtotal unless otherwise specified by the Company.

Selected key ambassadors, creators, promotional partners, media support members, or campaign participants may receive adjusted commission structures, temporary bonuses, custom incentives, performance rewards, campaign-based payouts, or alternative compensation structures at the sole discretion of the Company.

Commission calculations exclude VAT, shipping costs, discounts, promotional deductions, statiegeld/deposit charges, refunded orders, cancelled orders, chargebacks, ambassador-only products, giveaway products, reseller purchases, unauthorized transactions, fraudulent transactions, and other non-qualifying amounts determined by the Company.

The Company reserves the unrestricted right to modify commission percentages, payout structures, qualifying products, campaign mechanics, referral systems, earnings systems, bonus structures, promotional systems, or commission calculations at any time without prior notice.

5. NON-QUALIFYING TRANSACTIONS

No commissions shall be granted, approved, validated, or payable in connection with transactions involving self-referrals, household-linked purchases, coordinated purchases, affiliate-to-affiliate purchases, family purchases, fake accounts, reseller activity, artificial traffic generation, manipulated transactions, coupon abuse, fraudulent behavior, suspicious conduct, unauthorized discount sharing, cashback abuse, browser extension abuse, fake engagement, click manipulation, traffic farming, or other conduct reasonably determined by the Company to constitute abuse, manipulation, fraud, or commercially unreasonable activity.

Transactions associated with refunds, cancellations, chargebacks, disputed payments, unauthorized promotions, ambassador-only products, suspicious behavior, or policy violations shall not qualify for commission eligibility.

The Company retains sole and final discretion regarding whether transactions qualify for commission eligibility.

6. COMMISSION VALIDATION, INVESTIGATIONS & REVERSALS

All commissions remain provisional unless and until fully validated and officially approved by the Company.

Commission validation may include refund verification, payment confirmation, shipping confirmation, traffic-source analysis, fraud-prevention reviews, social media reviews, payout investigations, technical investigations, compliance reviews, promotional audits, dashboard reviews, behavioral analysis, and operational verification procedures.

Displayed earnings, dashboard balances, click data, conversion statistics, estimated payouts, pending commissions, attributed orders, referral statistics, or analytics data do not constitute vested rights, guaranteed earnings, transferable assets, or immediate payment obligations.

The Company reserves the unrestricted right to reverse, reduce, invalidate, offset, freeze, suspend, investigate, delay, withhold, permanently deny, or reclaim commissions where fraud, suspicious conduct, technical manipulation, policy violations, fake engagement, artificial traffic, reputational concerns, misleading promotions, chargeback activity, compliance concerns, operational risks, or legal risks are identified or reasonably suspected.

7. PAYOUT TERMS

Commissions generally become eligible for payout following expiration of the applicable legal withdrawal or refund period together with an additional internal verification period.

In practice, commissions generally become payable approximately three (3) weeks after the underlying qualifying transaction.

Payout timing may vary depending on fraud investigations, refund reviews, payment processor limitations, operational reviews, force majeure events, compliance procedures, legal reviews, or technical interruptions.

Payouts are generally processed weekly once the minimum payout threshold of twenty-five euros (€25) has been reached.

Balances below the payout threshold automatically roll over into future payout periods.

Payouts are processed exclusively through PayPal to the payment details supplied by the Participant.

Participants remain solely responsible for maintaining valid payment information, active PayPal accounts, tax compliance, invoicing obligations, VAT obligations, banking compliance, reporting obligations, financial compliance obligations, and all legal or fiscal responsibilities applicable within their jurisdiction.

The Company shall not be liable for frozen PayPal accounts, transfer delays, invalid payment details, banking interruptions, payment processor failures, financial restrictions, transfer limitations, currency conversion losses, or technical interruptions affecting financial systems.

All PayPal fees, banking charges, transfer costs, taxes, conversion fees, financial losses, and related expenses remain solely the responsibility of the Participant.

8. PROMOTIONAL STANDARDS & DISCLOSURE OBLIGATIONS

Participants must promote Banditos responsibly, lawfully, and in accordance with all applicable advertising laws, consumer protection laws, influencer marketing regulations, social media platform rules, ecommerce regulations, and disclosure obligations.

Commercial content must include legally compliant disclosure indicators where required by applicable law, including but not limited to:

• #ad
• #advertentie
• #Publicidad
• #Patrocinado
• #Werbung
• #Anzeige
• #Publicité
• #CollaborationCommerciale

The Company may additionally require use of campaign-specific hashtags, account mentions, promotional identifiers, creator tags, or disclosure labels including #BanditosEnergy and #Ambassador.

Failure to comply with disclosure obligations, platform rules, campaign requirements, or advertising regulations may result in commission reversals, payout suspension, account restriction, promotional removal, or Program termination.

9. PROHIBITED CONDUCT

Participants are strictly prohibited from engaging in deceptive, fraudulent, misleading, manipulative, abusive, unauthorized, unlawful, or commercially unreasonable conduct connected to the Program.

Prohibited conduct includes spam marketing, impersonation, fake testimonials, misleading advertising, trademark infringement, AI-generated fake Banditos campaigns, deepfake promotional content, fake ambassador representations, malware distribution, cookie stuffing, click farms, bot traffic, browser-extension abuse, fake engagement manipulation, tracking manipulation, fraudulent chargebacks, unauthorized coupon distribution, deceptive cashback systems, fake reviews, coupon-site abuse, unauthorized marketplace promotion, or any attempt to manipulate the integrity of the Program.

Paid advertising targeting Banditos trademarks, brand names, spelling variations, branded keywords, typo domains, or confusingly similar search terms through Google Ads, Bing Ads, Yahoo Ads, PPC systems, SEA systems, sponsored placements, or related advertising methods is strictly prohibited without prior written authorization from the Company.

Unauthorized publication of discount codes on coupon websites, cashback systems, browser extensions, automated discount services, or external deal platforms may result in immediate commission cancellation, payout reversal, account suspension, or permanent termination.

10. COMMUNITY CONDUCT & BRAND PROTECTION

Participants publicly associated with the Banditos brand are expected to conduct themselves responsibly and professionally.

Participants may not engage in unlawful conduct, discriminatory behavior, hate speech, violent threats, harassment, defamatory conduct, dangerous misconduct, misleading representation, irresponsible public conduct, or behavior reasonably likely to negatively impact the Company’s reputation, partnerships, legal position, public image, commercial interests, or community environment.

Participants remain solely responsible for their own conduct, travel activities, event participation, automotive activities, insurance obligations, legal compliance, vehicle usage, safety obligations, and community participation connected to the Banditos ecosystem.

Automotive activities, events, gatherings, demonstrations, rides, races, community meets, or related activities connected to the Program remain entirely at the Participant’s own risk.

All trademarks, logos, graphics, promotional materials, visuals, videos, social media assets, affiliate materials, campaign materials, slogans, designs, ecommerce assets, and related intellectual property remain the exclusive property of Dutch Business Sales Company B.V. and its licensors.

12. USER GENERATED CONTENT & CONTENT LICENSE

By publishing, uploading, tagging, submitting, mentioning, or otherwise sharing promotional, ambassador, creator, automotive, event, or community-related content connected to the Banditos brand, the Participant grants the Company a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable license to use, repost, reproduce, adapt, distribute, display, edit, commercialize, promote, archive, and otherwise exploit such content across ecommerce environments, social media platforms, digital advertisements, promotional campaigns, websites, community channels, and related commercial environments connected to the Banditos brand.

13. CONFIDENTIALITY
