Examples of objectionable material include: unlawful, harmful, threatening, harassing, defamatory, or obscene content, pornographic or sexually explicit materials, and discriminatory content.

How do you keep track of how my sales?
When a user clicks through your affiliate link, your unique identifier will be assigned to that session. A temporary cookie is placed on their hard drive that will follow them through the transaction. Once a purchase is made the sale amount is placed as a pending sale for you. Once the order is verified the amount will show up in your account. Orders are verified to ensure that no fraudulent orders are completed.

How often do I get paid?
Commissions are paid monthly by check if there is at least $25 in the affiliate account. If there is less than $25, commissions will roll over to the next month and accumulate there until the $25 minimum is reached. Once $25 or more accumulates the account will be paid in the next monthly cycle.
