4. Calculating
Commissions and Rates.
We operate a two-tier commission program and
will pay you a commission of 25% percent of gross revenue generated as a result of
a referral from you. We will pay you a five
percent (5%) commission of gross revenue
generated as a result of any sale made by one of
your 'downline' members. Gross
revenue is defined as gross receipts less
shipping costs and
any applicable sales tax or other fees. We may also factor for
any promotions, discounts or free offers that
are connected with any referring sale. Though
your account statement will indicate a 'closed
sale', a sale is only final once the order is
shipped and accepted. Also, we operate a
100% refund policy, and reserve the right to
deduct a commission from your account for any
product that is returned to us under warranty. These will be deducted from your
commission payment usually within two months. We
have a $25.00 monthly minimum for checks, if the
minimum is not met the balance of your account
will 'roll-over' to the next month.
5. Commission
Payment method and Frequency
We
will remit payment to you by
business check for your commissions at the end of each calendar month.
For commissions generated in the last week of
the calendar month, we reserve the right to make
payment in the month following the next calendar
month. Commissions can be checked by you anytime
by viewing your password protected account in
your member area.
6.
Order Acceptance Policy
Orders
may be rejected by us if they do not comply with
any acceptance criteria that we deem applicable
at the time of order. We also reserve the right
to reject orders or impose special requirements
due to excessive demand or inventory shortages.
All orders will be accepted on our terms and we
will facilitate all acknowledgements, payments,
packaging and shipping. When a sale is made, the
purchaser becomes a customer of ours,
and all our operating policies and procedures
will apply to that customer.
