COMPENSATION

 

If You are approved by Online Sellers Circle to become an Affiliate, You will receive a unique Affiliate ID. The Affiliate ID will be incorporated within each URL which You will use to advertise Online Sellers Circle.  You will have the opportunity to receive a commission for each sale (“Sale”) that is registered using Your Affiliate ID. 

  

If an Affiliate brings Online Sellers Circle a new user (Sold Account) and that new user remains in good standing for thirty (30) days after the Sale, the Affiliate will be paid a commission for each Sold Account that generates a payment to Online Sellers Circle in a month (“Commission”).  Except as otherwise provided herein, Commission payments will be paid on the 1st and 15th of each month following Online Sellers Circle’s receipt of payment for a Sold Account, subject to the other terms of this Agreement.  In the event the 1st or 15th of each month falls on a holiday, Commission payments will be paid on the next business day following the holiday.  All Commission payments are based on the amount of fees received by Online Sellers Circle, less VAT.

 

All approved Affiliates will receive a 25% commission for all Online Sellers Circle eCommmerce courses and 15% commission for Business Builder programmes. Our AEA programme is subject to a standard fixed price commission per person sold. for the Sold Accounts that remain in good standing for thirty (30) days after the Sale. All Commissions will be paid in US Dollars (USD).  Some payment methods may incur processing fees that may be deducted from Your Commissions payment.

 

In order to receive Commissions, the Affiliate will need to register with PayPal to receive payment of Commissions. This means You are authorizing third party companies to contact You.  Before You receive any Commission, You must provide Online Sellers Circle with your PayPal ID, as instructed by Online Sellers Circle, as well as any supplemental information requested by Online Sellers Circle or its third-party payment provider.  You will be deemed to have permanently waived all rights to Commissions that were earned more than 90 days if you do not provide payment ID details. You are solely responsible for complying with all tax laws in Your respective jurisdiction(s) including, but not limited to, the payment of all required taxes, and filing of all returns and other required documents with the necessary governing bodies. 

 

Affiliates will not earn Commission on payments made on Affiliate’s own user account(s).  Affiliates are not authorized to open an Online Sellers Circle account under the name of a fictitious person, another person, or another entity for the purpose of obtaining Commissions. Affiliates may not pay for another person’s or entity’s account in order to earn Commission. Affiliates are not authorized to offer cash incentives to acquire Sales. 

 

Commissions are only paid for confirmed transactions, which occur when Online Sellers Circle obtains payment for a Sale.  If payment for a Sold Account later results in a refund, and if a Commission was paid to You for that Sold Account payment, then that Commission will be deducted from Your future Commissions. Additionally, any money owed to Online Sellers Circle by an Affiliate for the program itself will be deducted from Affiliate’s commission compensation if Affiliate fails to make a timely payment to Online Sellers Circle for the program they chose.

 

If Online Sellers Circle determines that any Sale was procured by misrepresentation, fraud, or as a result of a violation of this Agreement or an applicable law, no Commission will be paid for such Sale, and Online Sellers Circle may terminate this Agreement immediately without Online Sellers Circle having any liability to You.
