(6) COMMISSIONS PAYMENTS

After you click “I agree to the terms of this agreement” Affiliate will receive 50% of the purchase price for every sale of the Product if paid in full, and 50% of each payment made for every sale of the Product purchased on a payment plan. Accrued commissions will be based on actual payments received from the customer and will be paid out on a monthly basis that begins after the refund period concludes. All payment processing shall be performed by Promoter.

If a sale is canceled, refunded, or defaulted for any reason, any paid commission will be deducted from the amount owed to the Affiliate and any subsequent payment. If payment plans get sent to collections (or if it takes us more than 4 weeks of attempts to bring the payments current), then we stop paying commission, even if we do end up collecting it successfully. Affiliate will not be paid commissions on any sales attributed to spam, credit card fraud, or returned Product. Promoter is NOT responsible for the usage or maintenance of affiliate links. Only sales tracked through the Link will count towards the Commissions.

Sale must be directly enrolling in the Program through Affiliate’s unique links. If a customer clicks on Affiliate links of multiple Promoters, the Promoter who is the last referral source before the sale will receive the commission. For each sale, commission can only be granted to one Affiliate.


Affiliate may not purchase the Product for their personal, non-commercial use through their link and receive a commission on that sale. Affiliate commissions are counted and sales numbers are deemed final at the sole discretion of the Promoter.

Commission payments (herein referred to as “Commissions” or “Commission”) will be sent to Affiliate by the Promoter via Direct Deposit or Paypal and shall be reduced in the amount equal to any fees associated with the processing and distribution of Commissions.

Promoter makes every reasonable effort to accurately track and pay commissions for all Affiliate sales but will NOT be held liable for any technical difficulties, outside events, actions by other affiliates or other uncontrollable events that may disrupt or interfere with Promoter’s ability to track sales or pay commissions.

Under no circumstances will Promoter be held liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages or any loss of revenue or profits that result from Affiliate’s participation in this Promotion.
