ANNEX I

Permitted and Restricted Territories 

What does not constitute a permitted territory implies that it falls under the category of restricted territories. In other words, if a specific area or activity does not meet the criteria for permission or authorisation, it is automatically considered a restricted territory, where either certain actions are prohibited or additional restrictions apply.

This list below outlines all permitted territories and the corresponding products that affiliates are authorised to promote. If a country is not included in the list, it shall be considered a restricted territory.

We may review and amend this Annex at our discretion, and the Affiliate is responsible for regularly checking for updates.
