You’ve agreed to work with Skyscanner as a brand advocate and these terms set out our ways of working together. Every time you sign a Brand Advocate Agreement with us and produce Content for us to promote Skyscanner, it will be subject to these terms.
Promoting and Protecting the Skyscanner brand
We want to partner with you because we think that your profile and values are really aligned with the Skyscanner brand. By doing so you agree that you will work within our brand guidelines and won’t do anything to damage our brand or reputation.
During our partnership, we also expect you to promote our brand in the work you do with us in accordance with all relevant laws, regulations and guidelines, including the CAP and ASA advertising codes, the Competition and Markets Authority’s guidance on social media endorsements, and the US’s FTC endorsement guidelines. That includes you making clear that a Post is an advert by including appropriate referencing to that fact (#ad) and not mixing that disclosure amongst other hashtags or links.
Working with other brands
Skyscanner is free to work with other brand advocates at any time in order to promote its brand. Equally, you are free to work for other brands while you are working with us, but we would like to know who these brands are so that we can ensure there is no conflict with our business. When we start to work together, we’ll ask you to let us know who else you are working with and to update us as and when you take on any new clients during your engagement with Skyscanner.
We require you not to provide any services to endorse, promote or advertise any product or service that directly competes with the Skyscanner brand while you are working with us, without our prior written agreement.
If you start working with one of our competitors, or a brand that we think is detrimental to Skyscanner’s brand or values, including our diversity, equity and inclusion values, then we may decide to end our working relationship with you.
You’ll take down any Posts at our request.
Payment
We agree what we will pay you for your services as set out in our Brand Advocate Agreement.
We will either agree that we will pay you at the end of each engagement or on a monthly basis in arrears on receipt of an invoice. All fees are exclusive of any applicable VAT or equivalent sales tax. Any expenses you incur while promoting Skyscanner will need to be covered by you, unless the expenses relate to something that we have specifically asked for and we’ve approved the spend in advance.
Your work
Any work that you produce for us or use to promote the Skyscanner brand must be your original content, and it shouldn’t infringe the rights of any other person (such as copyright or other intellectual property rights owned by others in images, video, music etc.), or contain anything offensive or harmful.
When you provide Content to us, unless we’ve agreed otherwise in advance you’re warranting that you haven’t given it to or already used it in association with any other third party.
You will indemnify us against any claims that a third party may have in relation to any breach of their intellectual property by you.
The rights you’re giving us
You grant all companies in our corporate group an exclusive, perpetual, royalty-free, worldwide, transferable and sub-licensable right to:
- host and display the Content in electronic formats;
- publicly display, distribute, modify, adapt, publish, translate, and create derivative works from the Content on our websites, social media, blog and marketing emails;
- the moral rights in the Content which you waive, including the right to be credited as the original creator of the Content, or where this isn’t possible you agree not to enforce this moral right in a legal claim against us without seeking an amicable resolution with us first.
Publicity
If you receive any enquiries about Skyscanner from the media or other third parties, you will refer these back to your contact at Skyscanner before engaging with the third party.
Privacy
We’ll process the information we need to contact you and manage our relationship, such as your name and social media handle, in accordance with our Privacy Policy. We will both comply with relevant data protection legislation that apply.
Compliance
You should familiarise yourself with our Anti-Bribery Code of Conduct and promptly report to us any request, offer or demand for any undue financial or other advantage of any kind you receive in connection with the services you are carrying out for us.
Liability
Except for those types of liability that can’t be limited, we will each only be liable to each other for the amount paid by Skyscanner in the year prior to the event that gives rise to the liability. However, Skyscanner will never have any liability to you for any loss of publicity or loss of opportunity to enhance your reputation, even if we delay or abandon our plans to work together with you.
Ending our relationship
Skyscanner can end its partnership with you under the Brand Advocate Agreement immediately by giving you notice by email if you don’t comply with any of these terms, or if for any reason our association with you becomes detrimental or undesirable for our brand. We will normally give you an opportunity to rectify any issues before we end our relationship, but if we believe that the issue is very serious or cannot be fixed we will give notice to end it.
Disputes
If you have signed an agreement with Skyscanner Limited, these terms are subject to the laws of England and Wales. In the event that we enter into a formal dispute or claim relating to these terms, the courts of England and Wales will have exclusive jurisdiction to settle this.
If you have signed an agreement Skyscanner Private Limited, these terms are subject to the laws of the Republic of Singapore. In the event that we enter into a formal dispute or claim relating to these terms, the district courts of the Republic of Singapore will have exclusive jurisdiction to settle this.
