7.     Commissions and Payment.

a.     Commission Structure. Affiliate may be entitled to a commission where they refer a Customer to the Company and such referral results in the purchase of a Product (the “Commission”). The Commission payable shall be determined based on the commission structure of the Program in place from time to time (which shall initially be calculated as a percentage of sales based on the percentage indicated on the electronic acceptance form acknowledged and agreed to by the Affiliate). Commissions shall be calculated on the net order value of Products on the Company’s website, and for certainty, shall not be payable on taxes, shipping or handling, or any other fees applicable to the transaction. Commissions are payable only on successfully completed sales transactions where full payment has been received by the Company.

b.     Commission Payment. Commissions will be paid via the UpPromote system. For the Affiliate to receive a Commission, the Affiliate must specify its payment details on UpPromote Settings. The payment schedule is disclosed on the UpPromote Affiliate Guide page. The Affiliate may verify the status of unpaid Commissions on the UpPromote Commission tab, and any paid Commission on the UpPromote Payment tab.

The Affiliate is further prohibited to promote or market any other offer in respect of the Company or any Product except as contemplated by the Program. The Company reserves the right to audit all transactions and related Commissions, and to reverse or adjust the latter, to the extent it contravenes any term or condition of this Agreement.  

d.     Cookies. “Cookies” are data files that are placed on your device or computer and often include an anonymous unique identifier. Cookies are created when a user's browser loads a particular website. The website sends information to the browser which then creates a text file. Every time the user goes back to the same website, the browser retrieves and sends this file to the website's server. A cookie is used to track Customers who have clicked on the Affiliate Designated Link and to determine any Commissions payable under the Program. If a Customer does not enable cookies or clears cookies from their device, there can be no sales attribution and accordingly no Commission payable. Days of cookie recognition is stated on the UpPromote Affiliate registration form. The tracking day will start from the time a customer clicks on the Affiliate’s link or uses the coupon. Within the days of cookie recognition time, every order made by this customer at the Company website will automatically result in commissions to the Affiliate (even if the customer does not click on the affiliate link to purchase). Affiliates must get permission to modify available creative and keep it updated if hosted on their servers.
