6. Payments

6.1. PEP uses a third party plugin and payment gateway to handle all of the tracking and payment. The third parties are AffiliateWP and Paypal. Kindly review their terms and conditions.

6.2. Affiliates receive a 20% commission (not including sales taxes and shipping & handling fees) for sending authorized sales via links provided by the PEP Affiliate Program. The customer must make a purchase by clicking the affiliate’s referral link within 1 day of the initial click-through. The commission will be credited to the most recent affiliate link clicked. A user may clear their browser cookies at any time, in which case the affiliate will no longer be tracked.

6.3. The commission is based on product that is sold and does not include sales taxes, shipping and handling fees, and any other additional fees beyond the purchase subtotal. Payments are made once an affiliate reaches minimum of $50 of commissions required for a payout.

6.4. The commission structure applies to all of PEP products unless otherwise stated.

6.5. Payout rates may be changed without notice and can be viewed within this Affiliate Agreement.

6.6. Refunded payments do not qualify for commission fee.

6.7. The commission is paid only on links that can be tracked and reported by PEP’s affiliate program systems. In order for systems to track the referral, the customer must have cookies enabled.

7. Access to Affiliate Area

You will create a username and password so that you may enter PEP’s Affiliate Area (www.pierreseliteperformance.com/affiliate-area). From there, you will be able to receive your reports that will describe our calculation of the commissions due to you.

8. Promotion Restrictions

You are free to promote your own web sites and social media accounts, but naturally any promotion that mentions PEP could be perceived by the public or the press as a joint effort. You should know that certain forms of advertising are always prohibited by PEP. For example, advertising commonly referred to as “spamming” is unacceptable to us and could cause damage to our name. Other generally prohibited forms of advertising include the use of unsolicited commercial email (UCE), postings to non-commercial newsgroups and cross-posting to multiple newsgroups at once. In addition, you may not advertise in any way that effectively conceals or misrepresents your identity, your domain name, or your return email address. You may use mailings to customers to promote PEP so long as the recipient is already a customer or subscriber of your services or web site, and recipients have the option to remove themselves from future mailings. Also, you may post to newsgroups to promote PEP so long as the news group specifically welcomes commercial messages. At all times, you must clearly represent yourself and your web sites as independent from PEP. If it comes to our attention that you are spamming, we will consider that cause for immediate termination of this Agreement and your participation in the PEP Affiliate Program. Any pending balances owed to you will not be paid if your account is terminated due to such unacceptable advertising or solicitation.

We grant to you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to (i) access our site through HTML links solely in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) solely in connection with such links, to use our logos, trade names, trademarks, product photos, and similar identifying material (collectively, the “Licensed Materials”) that we provide to you or authorize for such purpose.
