We reserve the right to expel any trademark violator from our affiliate program without prior notice and on the first occurrence of such PPC bidding behavior.
7.10 Affiliates are not prohibited from keying in prospect’s information into the lead form as long as the prospects’ information is real and true and these are valid leads (i.e., sincerely interested in a vendor’s products) and that they are permitted to do so under local regulations.

7.12 Affiliates may not use listings on coupon sites, utilize fake coupon codes, direct to page advertisements, redirection schemes, popups, popunders, browser extensions, or any other sort of deal offer to promote any of our Vendor’s Products. Any such actions will result in the loss of commissions earned and payments being held or rescinded.

8.6 In the event of termination under clauses 8.3 and 8.4 all accrued commission is voided and UberNet shall not be liable to you for any commissions.
8.7 In the event of suspension under clause 8.5 all accrued commission is frozen and UberNet shall not be liable to you for any commissions during the period of suspension.
8.8 We reserve the right to ask Affiliates to provide documentary verification of their ID. This specifically includes, but is not limited to, all Affiliates who earn more than $10,000 (ten thousand US dollars in a calendar month) – in line with UK regulations on money laundering and high value transactions.
8.9 Vendor’s have an absolute right to refuse service to any prospective customer – including, but not limited to, those engaged in the practice of retail arbitrage or other breaches of their terms of sale. This right is recognised and accepted by all parties in this agreement.
9.1 You will create a password so that you may enter Post Affiliate Pro’s secure affiliate account interface. From their site, you will be able to receive your reports that will describe our calculation of the commissions due to you.
9.2 For a Product sale to be eligible to earn a commission, the customer must click-through a Special Link from your site, email, or other communications to a vendor’s site and buy the Product.
9.3 Commission will continue to accrue on every transaction that occurs via the Link, as long as the cookies generated from such a Link remain active. If that link is broken – for instance, the customer deletes the cookies on their machine – then further transactions will not generate commissions. You accept that this is beyond our control and that we have no responsibility or liability for the lifespan of cookies or other tracking systems.
9.4 Cookie tracking for commissions will be based on a first-click model. This means that the initial click-through from the Affiliate Link will be the basis for tracking and attributing commissions, irrespective of any subsequent clicks from different affiliate links.
9.5 The commission structure is based on an agreed percentage of the transaction value and is subject to review and change at our discretion. We will notify all Affiliates, via email, 30 days prior to a commission structure change. Commissions earned under the previous structure will be paid under the previous structure. Commissions under the new structure will be paid under the new structure.
9.6 If a customer subsequently claims a refund on a transaction, for any reason, or if a transaction is reversed or refused by the vendor because of fraud, or any other reason, then the Affiliate commission on that transaction will be voided or reclaimed from your Affiliate Account. This can, from time-to-time, cause a negative balance on your account if the account balance has been paid before the refund or cancellation is processed.
9.7 If the vendor is unable to supply the products and orders are canceled then the Affiliate commission on that transaction will be voided. UberNet has no liability for stock shortages and failures to supply, however they occur. This includes, but is not limited to, any suggestion of ‘lost’ commission. UberNet does not give promises or guarantees as to the levels of potential commission from any vendor site.
9.8 We reserve the right to void, at our sole discretion, commissions earned through fraudulent, illegal, overly aggressive, or questionable sales or marketing methods and/or terminate membership in the Affiliate Program.
9.9 All affiliate transactions are conducted in US Dollars; conversion to other currencies and any subsequent fees are the responsibility of the Affiliate.
9.10 Payments are made via PayPal™ to the email address registered on the postaffiliatepro.com platform at the time the payment is due. Balances over $1000 can be paid by bank credit transfer upon request and the supply of bank details.
9.11 You accept that currency conversion rates are as set from time to time by PayPal™ or the Affiliate’s bank, depending on the payment method. UberNet has no responsibility for setting these rates.
9.12 In order to control costs and administration time, Uber Network Ltd operates a payment threshold. This is currently $100 and we reserve the right to review this in the future.
9.13 Payments to an Affiliate only happen when you've earned more than $100 in accrued commissions before the due date. If your Affiliate Account never crosses the $100 threshold then your commissions will not be realized or paid – however, account balances do not expire and the threshold can be reached over any period of time.
9.14 Payments will also only be made, subject to the payment threshold, to Affiliates who have an account in good standing at the time the payment is due.
9.15 All payments are made in the amounts as recorded and notified by postaffiliatepro.com on the regular due date for that account. If your accrued affiliate earnings are continuously over $100 on the due dates, you’ll be paid approximately every 30 days.
9.16 Affiliates are entirely and solely responsible for the accuracy, validity, and security of their payment information. UberNet accepts no liability for losses and costs incurred because of delays, theft, fraud, or human error on your part – including, but not limited to:
9.17 If you are registered for VAT in Europe and supply us with a valid VAT number this will be automatically added to your payments at the current rate.
9.18 Participation in contests does not affect the standard commission payment process. Any prizes or cash won from contests will be paid separately from regular affiliate commissions.
10.1 We may modify any of the terms and conditions in this Agreement at any time, at our sole discretion. In such an event, you will be notified by email. Modifications may include, but are not limited to, changes in the payment procedures and Affiliate Program rules.
10.2 If any modification is unacceptable to you, your only option is to end this Agreement. Your continued participation in our Affiliate Program after thirty (30) days following the posting of the change notice or new Agreement on our site will indicate your agreement to the changes.
11.1 Either you or we may end this Agreement AT ANY TIME, with or without cause, by giving the other party written notice. Written notice can be in the form of mail or email. In addition, this Agreement will terminate immediately upon any breach of this Agreement by you.
11.2 Payment of commission requires the Affiliate to have an Affiliate profile in good standing when payment is due – termination by any party will result in the loss of any unpaid commission.
12.1 We grant to you a non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable right to:
