AFFILIATES AND REFERRAL PARTNERS
As an referral partner or affiliate, you are an independent contractor of Calahan Solutions, Inc. and not an employee. No part of this arrangement is intended to create an employer/employee relationship.
SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED
We agree to pay you certain commissions as described on our website for referral sales made by customers. Whenever someone makes a purchase through your affiliate link, your affiliate ID is credited with a referral fee. When another affiliate registers as an affiliate using your affiliate link, your account is credited as the Sponsoring affiliate. You do not earn a referral fee for any other affiliate’s registration. The commission/referral fee amount varies from product, service or opportunity. The rates are generally anywhere from 10%-52%.
COMMISSION SCHEDULE
Commissions are paid once per month by payment processor on the last day of the month for sales made from the first through the last day of the previous two months, and are paid by Calahan Solutions, Inc. For example, sales made in November are paid in January. This allows us a smooth payment flow and ensures that if there are any returns for our 30 day guarantee that it is all resolved prior to payment.
There is a minimum commission amount of $100. This is the minimum amount that you must earn before you will be paid commissions. In any commission period, your commission must exceed this amount before you will receive any sums for that period. Commissions below this minimum amount will be held until such time as the commission equals or exceeds this amount.
Commissions are not paid for any sales for which payment has not been received, or for any transaction that has been rejected for any reason.
We are not responsible for paying interest to affiliates for accrued but not yet delivered commission payments.
If a transaction incurs a charge-back, or if an online transaction is not completed in every way, no commission payment is due to the affiliate. If a commission has already been paid, then it will be deducted from an active affiliate’s future commissions.
All commissions are paid in US Dollars by PayPal or bank draft. Affiliates requesting bank drafts will have a processing fee of $15.00 deducted from the check. This fee may change at any time. Affiliates wishing to be paid by bank draft must request so in writing.
If you later terminate your paypal account or the account becomes unavailable for any reason, the Calahan Solutions, Inc. is not responsible for you not receiving the money. Each affiliate is responsible for always maintaining the payment processor through which they receive their commissions/referral fees OR selecting an alternate method of payment supported by Calahan Solutions, Inc.. This election is entirely made by the affiliate and the we assume no responsibility for non-receipt of payments made according to the payment processor elected by the affiliate, or the affiliate’s lack of ability to then conform to the payment processors or processes supported by the the us. We assume no responsibility for an affiliate not electing a payment processor. If you fail to elect a payment processor, any sums due will be paid via check and any fees applicable to payments by check or bank draft will be deducted.
PAYMENT PROCESSOR FEES
All commissions are calculated based on the net transaction. In other words, all payment processor fees are first deducted from the sums collected from the customer. Then, all payment processor fees are deducted. The remaining amount is a commissionable sale. The commission rate listed on the website is then applied to determine the amount due the affiliate. Any sums paid for payment processor fees are not commissionable. We may also charge a per transaction fee for every transaction processed. In the event that a per transaction fee is applied, the amount of the fee can be seen on the website. Any such fee is not commissionable and is also deducted from the sums paid by the customer, prior to the calculation of any commission.
