3. Commissions and Commission Payment
We have various types of commission programs: (i) the Pay Per Lead Program, (ii) the Pay Per Sale Program, (iii) the Revshare Program and (iv) the Referral Program. See the “Programs” section of this site for details.

Once you have hit the minimum payout amount for your chosen method of payment ($200 for check by mail, $200 for check by FedEx, $200 for Paxum/FirstChoicePay, $500 for wire), COMPANY will send payment on the next scheduled payout date. Pay periods are from the 1st of the month to the 15th of the month and from the 16th of the month to the last day of the month. Payment for the first 1/2 of the month is sent on the 1st of the following month. Payment for the 2nd half of the month is sent on the 16th of the following month. In the case where the 1st or the 16th falls on a weekend, payment will be sent the next business day. Payments due and owing to you for a pay period of less than $200.00 will be rolled over into subsequent payment periods until at least $200.00 is reached, at which time you will receive payment. Check payments will be made out the name indicated in the Payable To field in your application. Payment is sent via US dollars to the street address indicated in your application (we will not mail to P.O. Boxes!!). You may request and receive payment via bank wire transfer, provided, you pay the costs associated with the wire. If you dispute the manner or amount of calculation of your commission with regard to any given payment period, you must inform COMPANY within sixty (60) days of said payment, otherwise you are deemed to have waived your right to challenge said payment calculation.
