Pay periods |
|
Pay periods
end at 12:00:01am on June 15th of
each year. For security reasons
payment is by check only. Checks
over $5000 are sent at our expense
by US Priority Mail (US) or Global
Priority Mail (Europe, Canada, Australia,
etc) wherever possible.
We send annual payment to Affiliates
in check form, drawn on US funds.

Payment
preference |
|
In your account
you may select an amount from $100
to $1000 as your payment preference.
The default setting is $100. We
hold your check until your payable
balance reaches this amount. A $2.50
accounting fee is deducted from
each check we issue. To change your
payment preference simply login
to your account, click the link
to "access your account", click
the link to "modify your account",
select the desired amount from the
drop down menu, and click the "save

IRS compliance
requirement for US based affiliates
earning over $500 |
|
In
compliance with new IRS rules, we
require a federal tax ID (EIN) for
all US-based affiliates earning
$500+ per tax year. This rule applies
only if 1) Your mailing address
is in the US, and 2) You have earned
more than $500 in affiliate commissions
in a single calendar year. EIN's
are easy to obtain, and not sensitive
information (like SSN's). They also
eliminate the need for "1099" forms
at the end of the year. If you do
not have one already, you may click
HERE to get yours at the IRS
web site. The IRS will either provide
your number online, or mail it to
you. Once you have obtained your
EIN please be sure to key it in
to all of your Avjobs Affiliate
accounts, in this 9 digit format:
12-3456789. Note: If you live in
the US but you are not a US citizen,
you will instead need to fax a completed
IRS W-8ben form
to us at 888-624-8691. Be sure to
include a cover sheet that indicates
your account and Avjobs Affiliate
Number. |
|
Customer
distribution requirement |
|
Avjobs Affiliate
accounts cannot be used for the
sole purpose of collecting rebates,
or otherwise extending credit to
yourself or others. To ensure compliance
with US law, Avjobs will withhold
payment of any account balance until
it contains purchases by customers
located in four or more distinct
countries, states, or provinces. |
|
Sales
tax collection |
|
Avjobs computes
all applicable sales taxes and presents
the total price to the consumer
on the order form. For digital products,
current US federal law requires
us to remit sales taxes only for
products purchased by customers
whose billing address is in the
European Union. |
|
Refunded
sales |
|
If a customer
dispute cannot be resolved we may
be forced to refund the sale. When
a sale is refunded the customer
receives a 100% refund, and payouts
from that sale are debited back
out of the corresponding affiliate
account's. From the affiliate's
account we also deduct $1 per refunded
sale. |
|
Revoked
sales |
|
A purchase
is revoked if the customer's bank
later claims the purchase was unfunded
or fraudulent. Products that generate
such complaints cost us money and
harm our reputation as a reliable
product retailer. From the affiliate's
account we deduct $35 per credit
card chargeback. Avjobs Affiliate
reserves the right to de-list any
product or group of products at
any time. |
|
Determination
of affiliate |
|
The affiliate
(if any) we associate with any Avjobs
sale is determined by an automated
customer tracking system. Any decision
made by this system is final, and
not subject to petition or debate.
Though we believe our tracking system
to be more fair and accurate than
any alternative, we make no representation
regarding the ability of the system
to track any specific customer,
for any specific length of time. |
|
Dormant
accounts |
|
Accounts
with a positive balance but no earnings
for an extended period of time are
considered dormant. In each pay
period a $1 charge applies to accounts
dormant for 90 days, and a $10 charge
applies to accounts dormant for
365 days. |
|
Account
closure |
|
You may close
your account at any time. Any closing
balance under $10 will be forfeited. |
|
Account
transfer |
|
At your request
we can change the payee associated
with your account. To initiate this
process we need a signed authorization
statement from the current payee
sent to us via certified mail. A
$50 account transfer fee applies. |
|
Postal
delays & Reissued checks |
|
No national
postal service is 100% reliable.
If your check is significantly delayed
you may request that we send you
a new check. Please keep in mind
that to issue a new check we have
to pay a service fee to the bank
network to recall (void) the first
check. A $20 cancellation fee applies.
To request that a check be reissued,
please
contact us. |
|
Stale
Referral Checks |
|
Avjobs Affiliate
Referral Checks are VOID after 90
days from the date of issue. Please
present your Referral Checks to
your financial institution promptly.
If you present a check after the
90 days your bank may refuse the
check. We can issue a new check
if the stale check is in our possession.
Please write "VOID" across the check
and send it to the following address
with a description of your situation
and request:
Avjobs Affiliate Program
attn: Referral Check department
PO Box 630830
Littleton, CO 80163
After we receive the check a new
one will be issued on the next payout
date.
|
|
Stolen
Referral Checks |
|
In some countries
mail theft is not uncommon. If a
Referral Check is fraudulently endorsed
(deposited by someone other than
you) you will need to open a fraud
case with our bank. If the bank
determines that fraud did occur
they will reimburse us the funds
so that we may issue another check.
Avjobs Affiliate cannot reissue
a check prior to the funds being
returned to us or prior to the completion
of the investigation by the bank. |
