AFFILIATE LINKS
A default affiliate link is generated automatically and can be found on the dashboard of your affiliate portal. You can also create one for a single product or collection. This is explained in the affiliate portal under Program Directory/Link. If customers click on someone else's affiliate links and afterwards clicks on yours, it's yours that counts. Likewise, if they click on a different affiliate link after clicking on yours that affiliate will get credit The links to our website can be text or image links, or a combination of the two. If you choose banner links, you must use our banners found in the Marketing Resources in your affiliate portal.

COUPONS
Affiliates may be assigned one or more discount codes. Discounts can be set up for a variety of promotions including percentage or fixed amount off all or some or only one product(s) or free shipping. Unless otherwise agreed upon DISCOUNT CODES DO NOT GENERATE COMMISSIONS. The discount given to the purchaser of our products on a successful order using your coupon is in lieu of any commission to you. Therefore, you can use this coupon as an incentive for your potential customers/clients/students to purchase your products or services or to thank them for being one of your users. The continued use of a coupon code is entirely at the discretion of Voice Over Essentials and can be ended at any time. This could be due to the need to promote a specific product or products, product availability that the current coupon is associated with, coupon naming conventions, change of our terms and conditions, or any other reason. Advanced notice will be given whenever possible.
ORDER PROCESSING
We are solely responsible for processing orders for our products. Your clients will use our secure online ordering process. Payment processing, shipping, cancellations, returns, and related customer services are our responsibility. You cannot make or accept any offer on our behalf.
You can also order our products for your PERSONAL USE through your affiliate link providing you with a 10% discount but no additional commission is paid on these sales.
TRACKING SALES
We are solely responsible for tracking sales made to customers who follow links from your website or social media pages. We track customers who click on your link using cookies, thus, they must be using cookies so we can track them. We cannot track an user who does not allow cookies or clears their cookies, so we cannot pay rewards on that person's activity. Cookie duration is specified in the affiliate signup form, typically 30 days. When a customer clicks on the affiliate's link the tracking day begins. During the cookie period, every purchase made by this client on the merchant's website will result in commissions to the affiliate (the customer will not be required to click again on the affiliate link). Do be aware that if that customer clicks on a different affiliate's link after clicking on yours that affiliate will get credit for any sale. The most recent affiliate click wins.
Please log into your affiliate portal for details on your account activity.
MARKETING RESOURCES
Through the Marketing Resources tab, we may share promotional media with you, such as a banner, logo, or a specific collection promotion. To distribute on affiliate channels, you may either download the media or acquire the HTML embed code. If you wish to use a banner, logo or other media item not found in the Marketing Resources section of the affiliate portal contact us! We'll work with you to get a suitable item uploaded if at all possible.
COMMISSION AND PAYMENT
If you refer a consumer to our website and they place an order, you will be paid a commission based on the Commission structure. The commission amount is determined by the order value and does not include any additional fees (tax, shipping cost, etc.). You must set payment details in your affiliate account settings to get the commission (currently we only pay by check). Payments will be made only for transactions that have been completed successfully. The Affiliate Program is regulated by a fair usage policy, which allows the merchant to examine each and every conversion. Status of the commission is displayed in the Conversions tab and any paid commission will be listed on the Payouts tab. Transactions that result in chargebacks or refunds are not eligible for payment.
Unless otherwise agreed upon we will pay you 10% of any and all qualifying purchases made within 30 days by a customer referred by your "affiliate link" through banner or text links (Not including any applicable sales tax and shipping charges) or any personal referral made to us resulting in a sale. Qualifying purchases do NOT include items from any sales made from other sales channels such as Amazon.com.
Payments are made either by check to you or your corporation within ten days of the first of the month for all sales in which thirty days have elapsed from the time of the sale to allow time for returns and refunds. For example, a sale attributed to you on July 15th would be payable at the beginning of September.
Any refunds to a customer - referred through your affiliate link - will be deducted from your commission payment.
INCOME TAX LIABILITY
You understand and agree that you are acting as an independent contractor and are responsible for your own Income taxes and any other tax liabilities that affect the sales of our products in your state. By law, any commissions in excess of five hundred ninety nine ($599) dollars paid to an individual or sole proprietor must be reported by us to the IRS on form 1099 MISC.
Therefore, at such time as you approach $599 in paid commissions you will be required to send us a completed and signed form W-9 'Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification'. We will notify you when you approach this amount and provide the W-9 form on line for your convenience.
