- Commissions will become eligible for approval once the 60-day return policy has passed on the purchase through your unique share link.

- Ex: A customer that receives their shipment on May 6th, will have 60 days to try out the product. If they have not returned the product by July 5th (60 days after receiving it), the commission will be eligible for approval. All commissions eligible for approval on the 20th of the month will be approved and paid out within 2 business days.

8. Promotion Restrictions
8.1. You are free to promote your own web sites, but naturally any promotion that mentions Plexus Yoga Wheel LLC could be perceived by the public or the press as a joint effort. You should know that certain forms of advertising are always prohibited by Plexus Yoga Wheel LLC. For example, advertising commonly referred to as "spamming" is unacceptable to us and could cause damage to our name. Other generally prohibited forms of advertising include the use of unsolicited commercial email (UCE), postings to non-commercial newsgroups and cross-posting to multiple newsgroups at once. In addition, you may not advertise in any way that effectively conceals or misrepresents your identity, your domain name, or your return email address. You may use mailings to customers to promote Plexus Yoga Wheel LLC so long as the recipient is already a customer or subscriber of your services or web site, and recipients have the option to remove themselves from future mailings. Also, you may post to newsgroups to promote Plexus Yoga Wheel LLC so long as the news group specifically welcomes commercial messages. At all times, you must clearly represent yourself and your web sites as independent from Plexus Yoga Wheel LLC. If it comes to our attention that you are spamming, we will consider that cause for immediate termination of this Agreement and your participation in the Plexus Yoga Wheel LLC Influencer Program. Any pending balances owed to you will not be paid if your account is terminated due to such unacceptable advertising or solicitation.
8.2. Affiliates that among other keywords or exclusively bid in their Pay-Per-Click campaigns on keywords such as Chirp, Chirp Wheel, Chirp Wheel Coupon Code, Chirp Wheel Kickstarter, Chirp Wheel Yoga, Chirp Wheel Promo Code, Plexus Yoga Wheel LLC, Plexus Yoga Wheel LLC Coupon Code or similar, merchant, www.merchant, www.gochirp, www.Plexus Yoga Wheel LLC, and/or any misspellings or similar alterations of these – be it separately or in combination with other keywords – and do not direct the traffic from such campaigns to their own website prior to re-directing it to ours, will be considered violators, and will be banned from Merchant’s Influencer Program. If you automate your PPC campaigns, it is your responsibility to exclude our terms from your program. We strongly suggest you add our terms as negative keywords. We have a strict no tolerance policy on PPC trademark bidding. If caught violating our PPC policy, or engaging in PPC bidding that uses our listed terms you will forfeit all commissions for a minimum of the past 30 days, and may be banned. We will attempt to contact the Influencer prior to the ban. However, we reserve the right to expel any violator from our Influencer Program without prior notice, and on the first occurrence of such PPC bidding behavior.
8.3. Influencers are not prohibited from keying in prospect’s information into the lead form as long as the prospects’ information is real and true, and these are valid leads (i.e. sincerely interested in Merchant’s service).
8.4.

As used herein a. “Parasiteware™” and “Parasitic Marketing” shall mean an application that (a) through accidental or direct intent causes the overwriting of influencer and non- influencer commission tracking cookies through any other means than a customer initiated click on a qualifying link on a web page or email; (b) intercepts searches to redirect traffic through an installed software, thereby causing, pop ups, commission tracking cookies to be put in place or other commission tracking cookies to be overwritten where a user would under normal circumstances have arrived at the same destination through the results given by the search (search engines being, but not limited to, Google, MSN, Yahoo, Overture, AltaVista, Hotbot and similar search or directory engines); (c) set commission tracking cookies through loading of Merchant site in IFrames, hidden links and automatic pop ups that open Plexus Yoga Wheel LLC site; (d) targets text on web sites, other than those web sites 100% owned by the application owner, for the purpose of contextual marketing; (e) removes, replaces or blocks the visibility of influencer banners with any other banners, other than those that are on web sites 100% owned by the owner of the application.
