Commissions and payouts
You’ll earn a 30% (35% for BASIC members, 45% for ELITE members) commission when a customer purchases a product from your referral link or a subscription using your referral link.

Here’s the breakdown of earnings by each license level we sell:

• We pay affiliate commissions in USD directly to your bank account or PayPal in the 2nd week of every month.
• As we have a 30-day money-back guarantee, we only pay commissions that are older than 30 days.
• The minimum payout balance is $50.00.
• In order to receive a payout for your referrals, you must register your bank account or debit card with our payouts service.
• We do not allow referrals to be generated on your own purchases.
• We do not offer recurring referrals on monthly memberships, but we do pay referral fees on annual memberships.
• At this time we do not offer referral fees on live events

Here are the details of our program in summary:

• You’ll receive a 30% (35% for BASIC members, 45% for ELITE members) commission for every new sale you refer
• Minimum payout balance of $50.00, and no maximum payout (we pay in USD)
• Commissions older than 30 days will be paid within the first week of each month
• Referrals are paid out to your bank account or debit card
• Referrals cannot be generated on your own purchases (this includes using a different email address).

Referral cookie lifetime
When a potential customer clicks on your referral link, a cookie is stored in their browser to track your referral. The cookie is then stored for 30 days to give your referred customers time to decide if they wish to purchase or ask us any pre-sale questions they may have.

A referral won’t be awarded if:

• The customer uses a different browser to purchase than the one they originally used to visit our site (because the cookie does not exist in that browser)
• The customer purchases after 30 days (because the cookie will expire).

Refunded purchases
Referrals older than 30 days and in good standing (i.e. the purchase has not been refunded) will be included with each commission payout (if the commission balance totals $50.00 or over). If a purchase is refunded, a commission won’t be paid out for that referral.

We reserve the right to reject affiliate commissions for any reason.

Commission rejections may occur for the following reasons:

• The sale that the referral was based on was refunded
• The method by which the referral was generated was in violation of our promotional policies (see below) or violated the spirit of the Affiliate Agreement.

Prohibited promotional methods
We love and back our product 100%, and we are very careful with how it’s promoted, so we want affiliates who are 100% aligned with our message.
The prohibited promotional methods listed below are here to protect you, us, and our customers from any fraudulent activity, which is something we take seriously. Here they are in writing just in case you’re not totally sure what is and what isn’t allowed.
PROT3CT.COM may not be promoted on coupon sites
Customers who are searching for a coupon are already in the market for PROT3CT.COM, so this method adds no value to PROT3CT.COM.
Paid advertising using your affiliate link is prohibited
Buying ads through services like Google AdWords, social ads, or retargeting ads using our brand keywords and your affiliate link will result in affiliate account deactivation.

Promoting incorrect or misleading information
Any promotional activity that shares wrong or otherwise misleading information will result in your affiliate account being deactivated. This includes false information intended to click-bait potential customers. If you are unsure of the correct information or details for promoting PROT3CT.COM, please contact us via email at [email protected]

Any type of spam is prohibited
Links, ads, emails, comments… any type of spam. Please respect the posting rules of any 3rd-party websites you use to promote PROT3CT.COM.This is not an exhaustive list of spam methods; if we decide that your activity is spam, it’s spam.

Any illegal activity or activity deemed offensive by us is prohibited
This may result in referrals being rejected and/or your affiliate account being deactivated.
Please don’t pretend to be professionally associated with PROT3CT.COM
Affiliates aren’t employees of PROT3CT.COM or PROT3CT.COM and have no employee rights.

Pretending to be PROT3CT.COM is prohibited
Cloning our site, copying our site, using our copyrighted site assets, and pretending that a site created by you is an official PROT3CT.COM site is unethical. It’s also prohibited (this includes using services that automatically clone websites, or place them into iframes) and your affiliate account will be deactivated.
Again, false promotion to customers that you are endorsed or operated by PROT3CT.COM is prohibited.
If you’re unsure or concerned that some activity you’re about to proceed with may be considered prohibited, please ask us.

Consequences if caught using prohibited promotional methods
If your promotional methods step outside of these terms, your referrals may be rejected and we may disable your affiliate account. We reserve the right to do this and may or may not notify you in the instance that this occurs. Please use allowed promotional methods, and help us to help you succeed.
