Affiliate Terms & Conditions

Version 2026-10-28

1. Introduction and acceptance

These Affiliate Terms & Conditions (the “Terms”) govern your participation in the Punta Cana Rent a Car affiliate program (the “Program”). “We”, “us” and “the Company” mean Punta Cana Rent a Car, operator of puntacanarentacar.com. “You” and “Affiliate” mean the person or business that applies to the Program. By submitting an application or by promoting the Company you confirm that you have read and accepted these Terms.

2. Eligibility and approval

You must be at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into a contract. Every application is reviewed manually and we may accept or reject any application at our sole discretion. An approved account is personal and may not be transferred or shared. You must provide accurate information and keep it up to date.

3. Tracking and attribution

Each Affiliate receives a unique referral code and referral link. When a visitor opens your link, a tracking cookie is stored in the visitor’s browser for 60 days. A reservation is attributed to you only if it is completed on our website by that visitor while the cookie is active and no other affiliate link was opened afterwards (the “last click” rule). Reservations made through our WhatsApp assistant are attributed to you only if the customer opens your WhatsApp link, or writes your referral code (for example Ref: YOURCODE) in the conversation, before the reservation is created and we are able to verify the code. If a customer provides more than one code, the most recent one applies, and a code remains valid for 60 days from the last message in which it was provided. Reservations made by phone are attributed only if the customer states your referral code before the reservation is made and we are able to verify it. You must not enter a code on behalf of a customer, use another person’s code, or book for yourself or for persons connected to you in order to earn commissions; any such reservation may be voided. Our records are the sole reference for attribution, and our decision on any attribution dispute is final.

4. Commission

The standard commission is 5% of the vehicle rental price of a referred reservation. We may agree a different rate with you in writing or through your dashboard; a new rate applies only to reservations made after the change. The vehicle rental price is the price of the vehicle for the rental period (including days added by an approved extension) before taxes, insurance, optional extras, delivery or location fees, fuel or cleaning charges, deposits and any other charges.

A commission is earned only when the rental has been completed and paid by the customer. No commission is earned on reservations that are cancelled, not collected (no-show), refunded, charged back, fraudulent, made by you or on your behalf, or made by your relatives, employees or related companies.

5. Review period, payment and taxes

After a rental is completed the commission remains under review for 7 days. Approved commissions are paid once per calendar month, within 15 days after the end of the month, to the payout method you registered. The minimum payout is USD 25.00; smaller balances roll over to the following month. All amounts are in US dollars. Fees charged by your bank or payment provider for receiving the payment are your responsibility. You are solely responsible for any taxes that apply to the commissions you receive, and we may withhold amounts where the law requires it.

6. Adjustments

If a reservation is cancelled, refunded or charged back after its commission was paid, we may deduct the corresponding amount from your future payouts. We may also withhold or reverse commissions that we reasonably believe result from fraud, abuse or a breach of these Terms.

7. Permitted and prohibited promotion

You may promote the Company through your own website, social media, messages, listings or personal recommendation, using the materials we make available. You must disclose your affiliate relationship wherever required by law. You must not:

make false, misleading or exaggerated claims about the Company, its prices, vehicles, insurance or availability;
bid on or register keywords, domains or social handles that include the Company name or trademarks, or run advertisements that imitate or appear to be the Company;
use cookie stuffing, forced or hidden clicks, pop-ups, redirects or any technique that creates a referral without a genuine visitor decision;
send unsolicited bulk messages or spam;
create fake, test or incentivised reservations, or book for yourself to earn commission;
collect, store or use customer information obtained through the Program for any purpose other than receiving your own commission statement;
promote on websites or channels that are unlawful, infringing, hateful or otherwise harmful.

8. Intellectual property

We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive licence to use the Company name and the materials we provide solely to promote the Program. All rights remain with the Company. You may not modify our materials or imply that you are an employee or authorised representative of the Company.

9. Privacy and data protection

Your dashboard shows limited information about referred reservations (reservation code, customer first name and last-name initial, vehicle, dates and status). You must keep this information confidential and use it only to follow your commissions. We process your personal data to operate the Program and to pay you, in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Our tracking cookie is used only to attribute reservations to the Program.

10. Independent relationship

You are an independent contractor. Nothing in these Terms creates an employment, agency, partnership or joint venture relationship. You have no authority to bind the Company, to set prices, to make promises on our behalf or to collect payments for us. The Program is non-exclusive for both parties.

11. Term and termination

Either party may end the relationship at any time by written notice (email is sufficient). We may suspend or terminate your account immediately if you breach these Terms or if we suspect fraud or abuse. After termination, commissions already approved and not subject to adjustment remain payable in the next monthly payout; commissions affected by a breach or fraud are forfeited.

12. Changes

We may change the Program, the commission rates or these Terms at any time by publishing the update or notifying you. Changes apply to reservations made after the change. Continuing to promote the Company after a change means you accept it.

13. Disclaimer and limitation of liability

The Program is provided “as is”. We do not guarantee any level of traffic, reservations or earnings, or uninterrupted operation of the website or tracking. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company is not liable for indirect or consequential losses, and our total liability to you under the Program is limited to the commissions approved and unpaid at the time of the claim.

14. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Dominican Republic. Any dispute will be submitted to the competent courts of the Dominican Republic, without prejudice to any mandatory consumer or data-protection rights that apply to you.
