b.      Commissions will not be calculated based upon amounts that are attributable to credit card fraud, credits given to customers, bad debt right-off and returned goods. The Company reserves the right to deduct in subsequent months for any commission that the Company paid that is for a product that is subsequently returned or refunded, or for any other reason if the previous monthly commission was overpaid or later subject to reduction.

d.     Commissions will only be paid on sales that are tracked through the Company’s online tracking system and indicate the Patron Affiliate’s site(s) link as the source. There is no right to commissions if a user later returns to the Company site(s) and makes a purchase through another link or source other than through the Partner Affiliate’s site(s) link. The Patron Affiliate has no right to commissions based upon subsequent sales, even if the customer first arrived at the Company’s site(s) through the link from the Patron Affiliate’s site(s).

 

e.      The Patron Affiliate is eligible for commissions only from new patron accrued by the Company by the Patron Affiliate’s link to form a one-tier affiliation system. The Patron Affiliate is NOT eligible for any commissions of sales brought about by one of their affiliated patrons who has entered the Patron Affiliate Program and earned commissions based on their own Patron Affiliate link.

 

f.       Commissions will be calculated via ‘billing cycles’ that reflect one month, from the 1st day to the last day of the month, as an entire cycle. For example, the Company will track commissions earned from January 1 through January 31 and close out the January billing cycle. The next billing cycle will range from February 1 through February 28, so on and so forth.

 

g.      Commissions will be paid to the Patron Affiliate on a monthly basis on or about the 15th day of the month following the completion of the billing cycle when the product was purchased and paid.

i.        The Company will pay commissions ONLY upon collection by the Company. The Patron Affiliate has no right to commissions until the applicable customer has paid the Company in full.
