Merchants Service Fee 

AffiliateSmarts applies a service fee to Merchants only. There are no Affiliate service fees. AffiliateSmarts's service fee is 25% based on the campaign paid from the Merchant to the Affiliate or $0.02 per click if the ad has a click based commission. Merchants must maintain a program account balance greater than the potential commission due on all pending orders for traffic to be directed the Merchants website. Traffic will not be directed to the Merchants website if their program account balance is not greater than the potential commission due on all pending orders. Furthermore, traffic will not be directed to the Merchants website if the program account balance is less that the commission rate specified in their program. Visitors will be directed to a page that contains the following text and reads 'Unfortunately we cannot redirect you to the website requested. The program may be inactive, have a low balance or the Merchant may be geographically targeting and filtering the customers / traffic received at their website. The country source of this click may have been filtered out.' This text may vary from time to time. Pending orders greater than thirty days old will be automatically confirmed. Retrospective lowering of the commission rate on pending and confirmed orders received is prohibited. The commission to be paid on these orders cannot be a rate lower than the rate set at the time the orders were received.Interest is not paid on Merchant or Affiliate program account balances.AffiliateSmarts is under no obligation to credit your AffiliateSmarts account monetary sums that may have been lost or forfeited due to circumstances including, but not limited to, software malfunctions or inadvertent Member selections.

To ensure Affiliate payment integrity all Lead and Sale programs will remain inactive until the 'End of Lead' or 'End of Sale' confirmation tracking code provided to Merchants for implementation has been verified by AffiliateSmarts. Furthermore a non refundable penalty of $50 will be incurred by Merchants if the AffiliateSmarts 'Lead' or ' Sale' confirmation tracking code is removed and not re-implemented to the appropriate confirmation pages within campaign activity .
