Document background
The Affiliate Addendum is designed for businesses operating affiliate marketing programs in Austria or under Austrian jurisdiction. It supplements existing commercial agreements by specifically addressing affiliate marketing arrangements, ensuring compliance with Austrian e-commerce laws, data protection regulations, and consumer protection requirements. This document becomes necessary when companies want to establish or formalize affiliate marketing relationships, defining commission structures, tracking methodologies, and compliance requirements. The addendum is particularly important in the Austrian context due to specific local regulations regarding online marketing, data protection (DSG/GDPR implementation), and consumer protection. It provides essential provisions for managing affiliate relationships while maintaining regulatory compliance and protecting all parties' interests.
