1. Terms of the Agreement

The term of this Agreement will begin upon our acceptance of your affiliate application and will end when terminated by either party. Either you or we may terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause, by giving the other party written notice of termination. Delivery of notice of termination via e-mail is considered written and an immediate form of notification. We may terminate you from the Program in our sole discretion. You are only eligible to earn commission on sales occurring during the term.

You must use a valid email through which you can be reached to participate in the GoalsGuy.com Affiliate Program. If you do not, your account will be deactivated.

For a sale which GoalsGuy.com makes as a result of a direct referral by an affiliate, that affiliate will receive a commission of 50% of the sale price on designated digital products.

Any sale returns or credits will function in the same manner, but as a deduction to the commission due to the affiliate. Volume incentive payments may be paid at our discretion.

3. Termination

You and we are independent contractors, and nothing in this Agreement will create any partnership, joint venture, agency, franchise, sales representative, or employment relationship between parties.

You can update your payment information easily inside the Tracking Administration area, or send updated information to affiliates@goalsguy.com. Any attempt by an affiliate to manipulate, falsify or inflate Referrals, to defraud GoalsGuy.com or to violate the terms of this Agreement constitutes immediate grounds for GoalsGuy.com to terminate this Agreement and will result in forfeiture of any amounts otherwise due to You hereunder.
e) Commissions are calculated based on the achieved number of sales for that month. All sales are verified.

g) Commission payments to the affiliate will be mailed by the 15th day of the month. Should the 15th day fall on a weekend, checks & payments will be processed on the next business day.
h) No commission will be paid if for any reason an affiliate's referred visitor returns or cancels an order. If the affiliate has already received commission for a returned or canceled order, the earned commission will be reversed from the affiliate's account. If an exchange is made from an order and results in a lesser sale amount, the earned commission will be reversed from the affiliate's account. The new commission amount will then be reflected. If an exchange is made from an order and results in a greater sale amount, the additional earned commission will be added to the affiliates account.
