PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Once You become a member of the Program You can earn unlimited commissions by the placing of pre-qualified, high converting ad campaigns and links on Your website thereby driving traffic to Our website that converts into a sale of Our qualifying products and services. The process of inserting Our high-performing ads and links on Your website is made easier for You by copying and pasting the ads and links Company make available. After a prospective purchaser is referred to the Site or Site content from a link contained on Your website, the prospective purchaser has ninety (90) days to complete their purchase in order for You to receive a commission payment.

You will only earn a commission for purchases completed through Your affiliate link. You will not earn a commission on any subsequent purchases made by the same purchaser that accesses the Site directly (not through Your link). Should the prospective purchaser click on another link that is not controlled by You, or return to the Site via another source-coded advertising link during the initial ninety (90) days, Your link will be overwritten and You will not receive a commission should that prospective purchaser actually complete a purchase of one of Our products.
