Affiliate commissions terms, conditions and specifications:
- In exchange for Affiliate’s display of the Promotional Materials, and for Affiliate’s compliance with and performance of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, N Squared Digital, LLC shall pay to Affiliate a commission (the “Commission”) in the amount of a percentage of product sold to a user that accesses simplyscheduleappointments.com through a link on Affiliate’s website. The current percentage posted is 25%. This percentage is subject to change by N Squared Digital, LLC at any time. Notification to Affiliate of any change in commission percentage will be given by N Squared Digital, LLC at the email address on hand for the Affiliate.

Transactions that result in refunds or chargebacks will not be paid out.

- N Squared Digital, LLC shall pay all Commissions accrued and payable to Affiliate quarterly. Because we offer customers a 30-day refund policy, there is a delay between the end of the quarter and when affiliate commissions are paid out to allow sufficient time for any refunds to be processed. Payment will be made by the 15th of the month following the 30-day refund period after the end of the quarter for the previous quarter of referral commissions due (the “Commission Payment Date”) provided the Commissions accrued total at least $100. E.g., Commissions accrued during Q1 will be paid by the 15th of May, Commissions accrued during Q2 will be paid by the 15th of August, etc. For accrued commissions totaling less than $100, the Commissions will not be paid and will be applied toward the following quarter. Payment is made via the Affiliate PayPal account and email address on file.
- N Squared Digital, LLC reserves the right to delay a new affiliate’s first payment by one full quarter (three additional months).
- All sales are tracked using the visitor’s IP Address and the use of cookies. We offer a cookie lifetime of 30 days.
- Affiliates that are US residents will be required to submit a W-9 form to N Squared Digital, LLC prior to payment of any commissions and in the event the amount of $600 in commissions are reached by an Affiliate, N Squared Digital, LLC will produce a 1099 tax form for the given tax year.
- In the event that Affiliate materially breaches this Agreement and N Squared Digital, LLC terminates this Agreement within 30 days of such breach, then any accrued and payable Commissions owing to Affiliate shall be forfeited, and N Squared Digital, LLC shall not be obligated to pay such Commissions to Affiliate.
