Affiliate Agreement
1. Term of the Agreement
The term of this Agreement will begin upon our acceptance of your partner application and will end when terminated by either party. Either you or we may terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause, by giving the other party written notice of termination. You are only eligible to earn commission on sales occurring during the term between your acceptance and termination.
2. Commission Defined
For a sale which thefamilyplanner.com makes as a result of a direct referral by an affiliate, that affiliate will receive a commission of 12% of the retail price ($19.95) of the product sold.
A commission fee will only be paid to affiliate after the customer has made payment in full to G4 Publishing for the sale. Any sale returns or credits will function in the same manner, but G4 Publishing reserves the right to deduct commission due to the affiliate if returns occur.
