6. PAYMENTS.

6.1. Payments.

For a Key Nutrients product sale to be eligible to earn a referral fee through the Program, the customer must click-through a Qualifying Link from your Site, email, or other communications to the BBE Site. When a web surfer clicks through your Qualifying Link, a cookie is set in their browser that contains your Affiliate code. Also, their IP address is tracked in the database along with your Affiliate code. When this person decides to buy a product, the script will look for this cookie and/or try to match their IP address to identify the Affiliate who will be awarded the commission. Visitors sent through your Qualifying Link may make a purchase later in time and the commission will still be awarded if the cookie is present in their browser and/or they are using the same IP address as the one logged in the database for up to 365 days after the initial cookie is set.

The current commission chart may be found at: https://www.keynutrients.com/use-affiliate-area/. The commission structure is subject to change at Key Nutrients’s discretion. We will notify all Affiliates 30 days prior to a commission structure change. Commissions earned under the previous structure will be paid under the previous structure. Commissions under the new structure will be paid under the new structure.

We will only pay commissions on Qualifying Links that are automatically tracked and reported by our systems. We will not pay commissions if someone says they signed up or someone says they entered a referral code if it was not tracked by our system. We reserve the right to disqualify commissions earned through fraudulent, illegal, or overly aggressive, questionable sales or marketing methods.

6.2. Payment Terms.

The fact that a compensation amount is reported for any tracked activity does not necessarily mean that a payment is due to you from Key Nutrients, as payment may be subject to conditions established by Key Nutrients, including policies regarding order cancellation, returned merchandise, receipt of pending credit card authorizations and/or chargebacks before payment is made. You further acknowledge that your entitlement to any compensation reported with respect to any tracked activity is subject to Key Nutrients’s receipt of funds from the customer associated with the tracked activity giving rise to the purported compensation.

6.3. Payments by PayPal.

Commissions are paid by PayPal and only by PayPal. We cannot send checks, credit, cash, or other payment methods. You are required to have a PayPal account to receive commissions. If you don’t have a PayPal account you can sign up for one at any time, but you will not be paid until you have one.

6.4. Payment Schedule.

You’ll be paid roughly every week, provided you have earned a commission during the previous week. Payments are only made via PayPal.
