The Etapharma Affiliate Program, available at app.etapharma.com, allows Affiliates to promote Etapharma products and earn commissions on sales generated through their links or codes. Participation implies acceptance of these Terms and Conditions, which govern membership, tracking, commissions, Affiliate obligations, and use of official materials.

1) Subject and definitions

This document governs the participation of the affiliate (hereinafter, “Affiliate”) in the Affiliate Program managed by Etapharma S.r.l. (hereinafter, “Etapharma”).

3) Sales Tracking and Attribution

3.1. Sales are attributed to the Affiliate through Affiliate Links or other tracking tools provided by Etapharma.
