For a sale to generate a commission to an Affiliate, the customer must complete the order form and remit payment for the product ordered. Commissions will only be paid on sales that are made through qualified Affiliate links. Affiliate cannot earn a commission by purchasing products from the Organisation using Affiliate’s own Affiliate link if it is the first sale made by Affiliate for the respective promotion. Once Affiliate has made at least one valid, non-refunded sale to a third party for the respective promotion, then Affiliate can receive a commission for products that Affiliate purchases from the Organisation through Affiliate’s own Affiliate link.

7. Payment

All Affiliate payments will be made through either direct bank transfer or PayPal on a monthly basis, in US dollars, at or around the 15th of each month, for sales that were made in a prior period, after the refund period has expired. If a sale is cancelled or refunded, any paid commission will be deducted from a subsequent payment. Affiliate commissions will not be paid based upon amounts that are attributable to credit card fraud, credits given to customers, bad debt right-off and returned goods. The Organisation reserves the right to deduct, in subsequent months, any commission paid for a product or service that is subsequently returned or refunded, or for any reason where the previous monthly commission was overpaid or later subject to reduction.

Affiliate is solely responsible for ensuring that their Affiliate Link is set up properly to have sales tracked and recorded to qualify for commissions. The Organisation is not responsible for the failure to assign any sale or commissions to Affiliate if the same results from the improper formatting of any Affiliate links.

The Organisation will only pay commissions on sales that are tracked through our tracking system and indicate Affiliate as the source of the visit to The Organisation’s website. The affiliate has no right to commissions if a buyer later returns to the Organisation site through another Affiliate link or source and makes a purchase.

The affiliate has no right to commissions based upon subsequent sales, or where “cookies” are used, overwritten or deleted, even where the customer first arrived at the Organisation’s website through your Affiliate link. Commissions will only be paid when the buyer makes a purchase on the same visit using your Affiliate Link with your “cookie” indicating you as the Affiliate.

8. Order Fulfillment

You are not authorized to sell any of these products from your site as a “reseller” and no “resale” rights are granted in ANY way on these products unless otherwise noted.

9. Customers

Customers who purchase products and services through the Affiliate Program will be deemed to be customers of the Organisation. Accordingly, all rules, policies, and operating procedures concerning customer orders and service will apply to those customers.
