2. COMMISSION

The Affiliate shall be paid Commissions only on sales tracked through the Company’s online tracking system and indicate the Link as the source. It shall not apply to advertised product packages, groupings of products, or products not provided by the Company.

b. The Commission rate will be fifteen percent (15%) of the Net Revenue of each completed purchase of the following products and programs made through the Affiliate’s Link and paid to the Company. Net Revenue is defined as total sales revenue minus credit card fees, discounts, and returns. 

• Premium Access
• Team Access

c. Qpractice may change content, pricing, or availability of programs at any time and introduce additional products and programs at other commission rates. The Company will provide notice of additional products or programs and the associated commission rate in advance. Affiliate’s continued use of the Affiliate Program will be deemed consent to these additions.

d. Commissions will be paid to the Affiliate at the end of each exam season. Commissions will be adjusted for orders that are canceled, returned orders, or where payment is otherwise refunded to the purchaser. All payments will be made to the Affiliate’s PayPal account unless the Company approves other arrangements.

3. TERM
The Term of this Agreement is for one (1) year. At the end of the Term, this Agreement will automatically renew for an additional 1-year term unless canceled by either party in accordance with Paragraph 4.

4. CANCELLATION

Company or Affiliate may cancel this Agreement for any reason by giving the other party 30 days written notice. Failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement will result in immediate cancellation of this Agreement by the Company and forfeiture by Affiliate of any accrued, unpaid commissions. In addition, Company shall pay any pending commissions owed to the Affiliate through the cancellation date if a cancellation of this Agreement occurs for any reason other than a violation of this Agreement on the part of the Affiliate.
