Affiliate Sales Commissions:
If, as a result of a direct advertising effort of the Affiliate, a referred customer of the Affiliate orders and pays for the Product or other goods or services sold by Christine Cobb Marketing in the future, Christine Cobb Marketing shall pay the Affiliate a sales commission determined in accordance with the Affiliate Compensation Schedule which is set forth in this Agreement and which forms an integral part of it. The commission is based upon the paid selling price of the purchased goods or services before tax, net of coupons and excluding returns (“Sales Commission”).
The purchase price of qualifying sales will count toward the total sales during the calendar month in which such sales are made. Only qualifying sales of the Product, to a customer and for which Christine Cobb Marketing has received full payment will qualify for the specified referral fee.
The total of such sales in any given month will generate commissions, based upon the following schedule:
Christine Cobb Marketing sends out commission payments in the amount of 50% on digital products, 10% on one-one-one customers (first invoice only) and the following fixed dollar amounts: $100 on completed websites and $54 on monthly maintenance customers. Payments are made within 31-60 days of the sale or website completion. Monthly maintenance commissions are due after the 2nd payment is made by the customer. Payments are generally made on the 5th of each month on sales where the 30-day refund period has lapsed. Christine Cobb Marketing reserves the right to negotiate a higher commission payment to super affiliates and JV partners.
Christine Cobb Marketing reserves the right to hold payments under $50 until the next calendar month in which the cumulative referral fee due exceeds $50, or until this agreement is canceled.

If a refund is requested by a customer on a qualifying sale, its referral fee will be deducted from the amount due to the Participant.
