QUALIFYING PRODUCTS
Products sold by Authentic Woman Experience originating from a special link assigned to you, and placed by you on your web site(s), on other web sites, or in emails you send out.
Qualifying Products are products which are listed on the Affiliate Resource Page: http://www.authenticwomanexperience.com/affiliates/, and which are sold to customers who follow your special link to our site and submit that order by using Authentic Woman Experience online order forms. (Note: phone, fax or mail orders will be credited to you only if the customer mentions your affiliate ID; we will not specifically ask for this information. However, the bulk of the orders are online orders)
Non-Qualifying Products are those sold through any link to our site other than the specific URL’s that you are assigned to your sponsoring website. Services which are based on charging for time are not considered qualifying products.
REFERRAL FEE AMOUNT
The purchase price of referral fee qualifying products will count toward the total sales during the calendar month in which such products are sold. Only qualifying products that are sold by Authentic Woman Experience, shipped/sent to a customer and for which Authentic Woman Experience has received full payment will qualify for a referral fee. Postage and Handling charges are excluded from the commission calculation.
The referral fee amount will be 10% times the total of qualifying sales, and adjusted as described in this agreement (e.g. for refunds). Note, prices are set by Authentic Woman Experience only, and are subject to change.We have the right to change the commission structure and commission amounts (including to zero) for future purchases from existing customers the affiliate has referred.
COMMISSIONS ON YOUR OWN PURCHASES
We all know that sometimes people sign up as an affiliate solely to get a discount on purchasing a product for themselves. We’ll allow you to get the commission, but only if you’re also going to promote our products. So the deal is: before we pay you commissions on your own purchases, you must generate sales from people other than you, at least equal to those commissions. e.g. if you earn $100 on sales to yourself, we’ll make a payout when you have an additional $100 from other sales.
PAYMENT METHOD
All commissions are paid solely through PayPal. We do not send checks or money orders if you are not able to accept payment through PayPal. At the time of joining please make sure that your country is listed. We cannot be held responsible if you sign up for the program without fAuthentic Woman Experienceirst having checked to make sure you are listed and can be paid commissions through PayPal.
It’s great! No lost checks, no updating physical addresses, and no exchange rates to mess with. From PayPal you’ll be able to deposit straight to your bank account. If you don’t have a PayPal account you can get one for free! It takes about 5 minutes to set up, and I’ll send you instructions for this in your Affiliate Welcome Email.
NOTE: If your country is not listed then you will not be able to receive payments and as a result, you should refrain from completing the application form. If you do not check first to make sure that your country IS listed, then make sales and cannot accept PayPal, we are under no obligation to send payments outside of PayPal.
PAYOUT SCHEDULE
I will send payment directly to your PayPal account on the 10th of every month provided that your commission is at least US$25. If your commission is below US$25 in a particular month, it will be added to your next month’s commission.
TIMING OF COOKIES
The cookie set on a customer’s computer will expire after 12 months. Therefore sales made more than 12 months after the referred customer clicked on your link will not be credited. However, if at any time you the referred customer clicks on your link again, the cookie will be reset for another 12 months. So just keep sending them along!
RETURNS AND CANCELATIONS
If a referral fee qualifying product is later returned by the customer, its referral fee will be deducted from the current or next quarterly payment sent to the Participant. If there is no next monthly payment, the Participant will be billed and agrees by participating to pay such amount.
TRACKING OF SALES
Authentic Woman Experience will be solely responsible for tracking sales we make to customers who follow special links from the sponsoring website. The Participant will be solely responsible for ensuring that these special links are formatted properly, a necessary prerequisite to tracking such sales. Statements of product sales activity will be provided to the Participant in real time with a special URL that they are assigned. Note that a sale may not be properly tracked if the customer does not accept cookies on his/her machine, or if the customer deletes the cookie (which seems to be relatively rare). Additionally, while your cookie could be overwritten by another affiliate cookie if the customer should subsequently visit another affiliate sponsor site, it’s also possible that your cookie could overwrite someone else’s.
PROMOTIONAL TECHNIQUES
You are free to promote your special link to Authentic Woman Experience in all the ways we recommend in the introduction email letter you receive by email immediately after you sign up. Examples of acceptable ways to promote the products are: through banners, text links, letters of recommendation to newsletters subscribers or your client base. However, if you use SPAM (in any way, shape or form, including email and newsgroup spamming), or offer the course on any WAREZ, CRACK, or SPAM oriented site, your account will be immediately terminated! Any referral fees not paid up to the point of termination will not be paid to you and will be the property of Authentic Woman Experience.
