A purchase by a Referred Customer that has transferred from any Get Blogged partners or subsidiaries.

A purchase by a Referred Customer that has not been in good standing for a period of at least thirty (30) days or is in violation of Get Blogged’s Terms of Service https://getblogged.net/terms-of-use/, or other applicable policies at the time the Commission Fees accrue.
A purchase that Get Blogged suspects, in its sole discretion, is the result of fraud, which shall include but is not limited to, the use of software that generates real and fictitious information, multiple accounts from the same customer, or the referral of accounts that do not comply with this Agreement.
A purchase referred by an Affiliate that has an excessive cancellation rate as determined in Get Blogged’s sole discretion.
A purchase by a Referred Customer if the Referred Customer was offered or received coupons, refunds, credits or discounts from the Affiliate.
A purchase by a Referred Customer if the Affiliate or Referred Customer is in or is promoting a business-opportunity program, as determined by us in our sole discretion.

Get Blogged reserves the right to withhold payment of initial Commissions Fees to Affiliates who are new to the Affiliate Program, or who have commissions that are potentially fraudulent as determined by Get Blogged in its sole discretion, to determine the legitimacy and cancellation rates of Referred Customers.
Get Blogged reserves the right to suspend the payment of Commission Fees at any time and indefinitely, if it suspects fraud or other improper activity or a potential breach of any of the terms of this Agreement by the Affiliate or a Referred Customer. Get Blogged reserves the right to deduct from Affiliate’s current and future Commission Fees any and all Commission Fees corresponding to any fraudulent, questionable, and cancelled purchases.
Get Blogged reserves the right to immediately cancel or withhold for later review any Commission Fee that fails to meet the criteria of a “Qualified Purchase.” Affiliate is responsible for monitoring the payment, denial and, withholding of Commission Fees. Get Blogged is not obligated to actively notify Affiliates of the status of Commission Fees.

Commissions for any Referred Customer who is associated with any Get Blogged reseller, referral or other program may not be considered a Qualified Purchase. In other words, you may not receive double commissions or compensation.
In the event that the Referred Customers that are referred to Get Blogged by an Affiliate are determined to have an excessive cancellation rate, as determined by Get Blogged in its sole discretion. Get Blogged reserves the right to withhold or decline pending and future Commission Fees to such Affiliate.
Any attempt by an Affiliate to manipulate, falsify or inflate the Referred Customers, Qualified Purchases, or Commission Fees to intentionally defraud Get Blogged or any violation of the terms of this Agreement constitutes immediate grounds for Get Blogged to terminate the Affiliates participation in the Affiliate Program
and will result in the forfeiture of any Commission Fees due to the Affiliate.
Accrual of Commissions
Commissions will accrue and only become payable once you (i) provide all relevant tax and address documentation pursuant to Section O below and (ii) reach the Commission Threshold of £25 based on the commission rates stated on the Get Blogged website, solely as applied to Qualified Purchases which occurred within ninety (90) days of the end of the calendar month in which the first of such Qualified Purchases occurred. For example, if you provide sign-ups which result in one Qualified Purchase on January 1st and a second sign-up which leads to a Qualified Purchase on August 10th, and you provide all necessary tax documentation on August 10th, no commission would accrue because the second Qualified Purchase occurred more than one hundred and eighty (180) days after the end of January
when the first Qualified Purchase occurred. However, if you subsequently provide a sign up which leads to another Qualified Purchase on September 5th the same year, then a commission would accrue on the latter two Qualified Purchases. (i.e. the Qualified Purchases from August and September of the
same year). All Qualified Purchases still eligible to result in commissions under this Section N must remain active and in good standing pursuant to the terms of this Agreement in order to remain eligible for accrual of a commission. Once a commission has accrued under this Section N, the amount of such commission
(the “Commission Fee”) shall be due and payable to your under the terms of Section O. Get Blogged reserves the right to change the Commission Threshold by amending this Agreement and will notify you for any such amendment pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
Commission Payments
Subject to terms of this Agreement and the accrual of commissions as set forth in Section N above, commissions will be calculated according to the specified percentage or pound sterling amount set forth in the commission report in your Affiliate Console for each Qualified Purchase that accrues during the period in which such commission fee is being calculated.
Commission Fees will be processed approximately forty five (45) to sixty (60) days after the end of the month or other period in which they accrue. Get Blogged will only compensation you for Qualified Purchases made in accordance with this Agreement.
Commission Fees shall be paid based on the current information in your Affiliate profile. You are required to notify us promptly of any change in your address by updating your profile information in the Affiliate console. Any changes to your desired payment method may take up to two payout cycles to take effect.
You may receive Commission Fees through PayPal, subject to the following conditions:
PayPal Payments: Please refer to PayPal’s policy to ensure you are eligible to receive payment if you reside outside of the United Kingdom https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_display-approved-signup-countries-outside. (PayPal payments will only be reissued within one hundred and twenty (120) days of the original issue date in the case of an incorrect PayPal address or refusal from PayPal to accept a payment.)
Get Blogged is not responsible for paying any third-party fees charged by PayPal in order for you to receive Affiliate Commission Fees. Get Blogged, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to modify the available commission payment methods or payment schedule at any time. Such changes shall take effect when posted.
Disputes: Affiliates agree to file any disputes within forty-five (45) days after the end of the month in which the sale or event that is disputed occurred. Disputes filed after forty-five (45) days of the date on which the disputed sale or event occurred will not be accepted by Get Blogged and Affiliate forfeits forever any rights to a potential claim.
It is solely your responsibility to provide Get Blogged with accurate tax and payment information that is necessary to issue a Commission Fee to you. If Get Blogged does not receive the necessary tax or payment information within ninety (90) days of a Qualified Purchase which would otherwise trigger Commission Fees, the applicable commissions shall not accrue and no Commission Fees will be owed with respect to such Qualified Purchase.
