If the only cost to you is £185 per year , it may be time to take a stand and sack the merchant.

Nice little post like sir Alan Sugar

????- Your fired,

you lose £185 but they probably lose a lot more of affiliates and sales.

It's a pity affiliates keep getting messed around by a small number of advertisers. These companies are only willing to pay affiliates on a (generally measily) commission basis, yet demand the same control as they would with their salaried employees. I admire you for taking your stance.

The banner mentioned a discount, however with the IAB etc, when someone clicked on the banner, people were sent to the site, before any mention of the T&Cs of the discount. So to keep all of those people happy who continually whinge about cookie stuffing, I had to point them to another page on my site, that gave all the T&Cs of the discount. Not sure if your scenario is the same mate? I’ve had this in the past, however I understood where the merchant was coming from.
