in our sole and unfettered discretion, we determine that your
site(s) are unsuitable for the Affiliate Program for any reason.
2) Commissions.
As a participating member in the Affiliate Program you have
one of four forms of commission payout available to you:(a)

notice to you and/or notice posted on our site. Note that
a commission will only be paid if the visitor to an Affiliate
Program approved site can be tracked by the system from
the time of the click on your link to the time of the sale.

by our system or if full payment for services is not made

over from week to week until you have accrued the minimum
payout amount.

be sent via regular mail to the address on file. You have
the option of being paid by wire or cable transfer pending
special approval. Please contact the Affiliate Program administrator
