    If during the 90 day hold the Referral takes advantage of a money back guarantee, or their payment bounces or is charged-back, your commission will be forfeited.

    No commission will be paid for signups by you or anyone within your organisation.

    We have the right to subtract the payout commission if a customer requests a refund due to a money back guarantee offer, or if the Referral purchase is found to be fraudulent and/or disputed.

  5. Term of the Agreements:

    The term of this Agreement will begin upon our acceptance of your affiliate program signup and will end when terminated by either party.

    Either you or we may terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause, by giving the other party notice of termination.

    Notice by email, from your email address on our records, resulting in the creation of support ticket with an associated ticket ID #, is considered sufficient notice to terminate this Agreement.

    If this Agreement is terminated because you have violated the terms of this Agreement you are not eligible to receive any commissions payments, even for commissions earned prior to the date of termination.

    If this Agreement is terminated for any other reason, you are only eligible to earn a commission on sales occurring during the term of the Agreement, and commissions earned through the date of termination will remain payable only if the related orders are not cancelled or returned.

    We reserve the right to withhold your final payment for a reasonable time to ensure that the correct amount is paid.
