The Affiliate Link is located on texts or images. In case of banners or search boxes, in line with the desired parameters, it is necessary to copy the generated HTML code and place it on the desired location within own website.
It is important to use the affiliate link/HTML code in its original format, as the smallest change on the assigned link may cause the erroneous functioning of the affiliate programme and in this case no accurate data related to the Affiliate partner’s turnover monitoring can be guaranteed.
The Affiliate partner is entitled to commission upon the accomplished sales of tickets through the Affiliate link/code. The commission is calculated only on the basis of the original service, i.e. cartage, and shall not be calculated in case the ticket has been cancelled or returned.

|---|---|---|
| Super Partner | from 20.000,00 to 40.000,00 Eur | 7% commission |
| Premium Partner | more than 40.000,00 Eur | 8% commission |
The percentage of the abovementioned commissions is exclusive of value added tax.
Autotrans shall develop a monthly calculation of sales until the 10th of every month for the previous month and shall deliver it to the Affiliate partner who must then issue an invoice based on the mentioned calculation.
The minimum monthly amount of commission is 100 EUR. If the Affiliate partner achieves a commission that is lower than the prescribed monthly minimum, Autotrans shall add the amount of commission to the commission payment for the following month, i.e. if the mentioned amount is not achieved over the course of several months during the year, the commission shall be paid irrespective of the amount achieved at the end of the calendar year, until the 15th of January of the following calendar year.
Concerning the foreign currency commission payments, the Affiliate partner shall bear all the costs of international money transfer.
Autotrans shall not be liable for any damages related to a failed calculation of commission, if this occurred due to unprofessional handling of the affiliate link/code or because of potential erased cookies by visitors.
