7. Commissions

As a member of our Affiliate Program, you understand that:

1. You will only receive commission payments on eligible product sales. Not all products are eligible for commission payments such as free products, and products not sold on the Solderstick website.
2. Except in jurisdictions in which such a transaction is not permitted, you are eligible to earn affiliate commissions through referrals during the active term of your agreement with us.
3. The exact amount of affiliate commissions due to you in any given month will be calculated based on 20% of the net product sale amount. This means that if a product is worth AUD$100 (GST inclusive), and, if a 20% discount code is used, the discount is $20.00, the GST portion is AUD$8 and your commission will be based on the $72.00 sales figure. This means, your commission will be $14.40.
4. Commissions will be paid within 7-days of the end of each calendar month.
5. Payment will be disbursed according to the payment method you have selected.
6. Should there be any product cancellations within 30-days of product purchase, your account will be balanced accordingly. This means that you will not receive payment for the cancelled purchase.
7. If your account is terminated due to a violation of these Terms, we reserve the right to withhold all future payments owed to you.
8. Affiliates are responsible for any and all charges, fees, taxes, exchange rates, surcharges and other expenses incurred in order to receive affiliate payments. It is your responsibility to check what these may be with your bank.
9. If we determine that payment of your commissions in any jurisdiction is illegal under any laws, we may reserve the right to not pay any commissions for sales made in that jurisdiction.

8. Termination

You may end these Terms at any time, with or without cause, by giving the other party written notice via e-mail. Solderstick reserves the right to terminate the engagement should you be found to violate the Terms immediately.
