2. COMMISSIONS & PAYMENT TERMS
2.1 Commission Structure
Affiliates will earn a 30% commission on each eligible sale made through their unique referral link. Commissions apply to both initial purchases and recurring subscriptions, provided the referred customer remains active.
2.2 Tracking & Cookie Duration
• CheckView uses cookie-based tracking to associate referrals with Affiliate accounts.
• Cookies last for 60 days, meaning referred users must complete a purchase within this period for the Affiliate to receive credit.
• If a customer clears cookies, uses a different browser, clicks on another affiliate’s link or does not use the affiliate link before purchasing, the commission may not be credited.
2.3 Payment Schedule & Methods
• Payouts are made on a monthly basis, meaning commissions earned in a given month will be paid 30 days after the close of that month.
• Payments are issued via Wise or PayPal. Affiliates are responsible for ensuring their payment details are correct.
• A minimum payout threshold of $10 USD must be met before payments are issued. Earnings below this threshold will roll over to the next payout cycle.
2.4 Refunds, Chargebacks & Commission Adjustments
• If a referred customer cancels their subscription, requests a refund, or initiates a chargeback, the associated commission will be deducted from future payouts.
• In cases of suspected fraud, abuse, or violation of this Agreement, we may withhold or reverse commissions at our discretion.
