WARNING ON SPAM
-------------------------------------------------
(17) Affiliates sending unsolicited commercial email or posting to "inappropriate" newsgroups or forums will be terminated. It is against this Affiliates agreement to advertise Company via unsolicited email or spam in any way, shape or form. Some people think that Affiliate spam email originated from us, damaging our reputation and causing us many administrative problems. DO NOT send unsolicited email to promote Company, or Affiliate will be in violation of this affiliates agreement and Affiliate's account will be immediately terminated! Any referral fees generated in the month Affiliate was terminated WILL NOT BE PAID and will be the property of Company. Affiliate's cooperation and understanding is appreciated.
-------------------------------------------------
REFERRAL FEES
-------------------------------------------------
(18) Affiliates earning more than $600.00 in referral fees in a calendar year will be required to supply Company with a Federal Tax ID number or Social Security Number. Company is unable to process additional commission checks without this information.
(19) Referral fees due affiliates for off line orders from our toll-free number service and mail orders may not be posted to Affiliate's stats page for up to 5 days. Company guarantees that Affiliate will get proper credit for such orders. Delay in posting is because these orders must be input manually. Online orders are handled automatically by our software and are generally posted to Affiliate's stats page or emailed within seconds.
(20) Referral fees only apply to the actual sale price of a product or service. Referral fees do not apply to sales tax, shipping & handling charges, duties or other miscellaneous service and handling charges. If you use your affiliate link to buy for yourself, you will not be awarded a commission on those sales.
(21) In a given month a check will be issued to Affiliate for all referral fees in excess of $50.00. Referral fees due totaling less than $50.00 will be carried over until total referral fees due exceeds $50.00. At that time a check will be issued for total referral fees due at the next normal check issuance cycle.
(22) A balance of less than $50.00 in Affiliate's referral account will be forfeited if Affiliate's account is cancelled or remains inactive for a period exceeding 12 months.
(23) Any unclaimed funds in Affiliate's referral account will be forfeited if Affiliate's account remains inactive for a period exceeding 12 months. This includes any payments returned to Company by the postal service marked "return to sender" or other similar endorsement.
(24) If products or services sold are returned, any referral fees paid to Affiliate will be deducted from Affiliate's future referral fees.
(25) If a fraudulent credit card is used to pay for Company products, any referral fee paid to Affiliate for the fraudulent sale will be deducted from Affiliate's future referral fees.
(26) Company is not liable for any unexpected website down time as a result of computer crashes, Internet trouble, power outages, act of God, or any other unexpected occurrence. Liability is limited to the referral fees actually earned in the period in question. Company will diligently back up its information. In the case of catastrophic failure, Affiliate's email confirmation of orders may be used as evidence of referral fees owed.
