What are Fishpond's Affiliate Terms?

Commission of 8% is paid in all Qualifying Purchases, which occur when:

a) a customer clicks through to Fishpond from your site using your affiliate link, and

b) during a Session, the customer adds a product their cart and purchases that product; and

c) the product is then shipped to the customer.

A Session starts when a customer clicks on your affiliate link and ends when 24 hours elapses, the customer places an order, or the customer clicks on a different affiliate link and comes to Fishpond’s site.

Regardless of the above, the following are not Qualifying Purchases and will not earn any commission:

- any product that is added to a customer’s shopping cart after a Session has ended,

- any product that is cancelled or returned,

- any Fishpond gift vouchers,

- any Product purchase that is not correctly reported because the links from your site to Fishpond’s site are not properly formatted,

- any Product purchased by a customer who arrives on Fishpond’s site by a non-permitted marketing activity,

- any Product purchased for resale or commercial use, or - any Product purchased by you or on your behalf, including products you purchase through for yourself, friends, relatives, or associates.

Once a payment threshold of $20 is reached, payments will be made on a monthly basis, approximately 40 days after the end of the month using the method you have specified.

All sales generated from your account are first held for 30 days to allow for any cancellations or refunds by the customer. After this 30 day period, the amounts are released for payment to you.
