2. PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Once You become a member of the RhinoMedia Web Hosting Affiliate Program You can earn unlimited commissions by the placing of pre-qualified, high converting ad campaigns and links on Your website thereby driving traffic to Our Web Site that converts into a sale of Our qualifying products and services.  The process of inserting Our high-performing ads and links on Your website is made easier for You by copying and pasting the ads and links We make available. After a prospective purchaser is referred to RhinoMedia’s Web Site or Web Site content from a link contained on Your website, the prospective purchaser has ninety (90) days to complete their purchase in order for You to receive a commission payment.

You will only earn a commission for purchases completed through our link located on Your website.  You will not earn a commission on any subsequent purchases made by the same purchaser that accesses RhinoMedia’s website directly (not through Your website).  Should the prospective purchaser click on another website link that is not controlled by You, or return to the RhinoMedia website via another source-coded advertising link during the initial ninety (90) days, Your link will be overwritten and You will not receive a commission should that prospective purchaser actually complete purchasing one of Our products.

Please note that we do not pay a commission on the purchase of Your own personal hosting accounts or ones purchased by Your employees, agents, representatives, or contractors.  Under most circumstances we do not pay a commission on purchases taken or completed over the telephone even if the prospective purchaser was referred to us via Your website. Any referrals provided prior to membership in the RhinoMedia Affiliate Program are not commissionable and will not be back-dated.
