The Golf Swing Speed Challenge makes no guarantee of any kind regarding the potential income that can be generated through Affiliate’s participation in the Affiliate Program. Affiliate’s use of this website and any associated services may sometimes be subject to interruption or delay. Due to the nature of the Internet and electronic communications, The Golf Swing Speed Challenge and The Golf Swing Speed Challenge service providers do not make any warranty that this website or any associated services will be error free, without interruption or delay, or free from defects in design. The Golf Swing Speed Challenge will not be liable to affiliates should the The Golf Swing Speed Challenge website or the services supplied through this website become unavailable, interrupted or delayed for any reason.

COMMISSIONS & REFERRAL FEES

Whenever someone orders through your affiliate link, your affiliate ID is credited with a referral fee. The rate at which your referral fee is generated can be found on the website and is subject to change at any time. If the website is silent as to the commission rate, then the base rate is 50%.

Clickbank is solely responsible for the tracking of Affiliate Links, handling of payments and distribution of any Commission that is payable to Affiliate.

In relation to all aspects of the ClickBank Affiliate Network including, without limitation, the tracking of Affiliate Links and the payment of Commissions, Affiliate is entering a legal contract directly with ClickBank, and not with The Golf Swing Speed Challenge .  The Golf Swing Speed Challenge will under no circumstance have any obligation to pay Affiliate any Commission owed to Affiliate, and will under no circumstance have any liability to the Affiliate arising out of any claim relating to the ClickBank Affiliate Network, including Affiliate’s participation therein.

Affiliate and The Golf Swing Speed Challenge must both abide by the ClickBank [Terms of Use (“TOU”)] as are published by ClickBank and updated from time to time at http://www.clickbank.com/terms.html

Commissions paid in relation to the ClickBank Affiliate Network are based on product prices and the commissions’ structure as determined by The Golf Swing Speed Challenge .  The Golf Swing Speed Challenge reserves the right to change the product prices and commissions’ structure at its absolute discretion without prior notice to Affiliate.

Affiliate will only receive a Commission for a sale tracked through Affiliate’s Affiliate Link by ClickBank. Affiliate has no right to a Commission if a sale of a good or service occurs as a result of a customer arriving at or returning to the The Golf Swing Speed Challenge website through an Affiliate Link that is not associated with Affiliate.  The Golf Swing Speed Challenge has no responsibility and no ability to redistribute a Commission to a different affiliate, including to Affiliate, after a sale has occurred.

Commissions are payable to Affiliate by ClickBank in accordance with ClickBank’s Terms of Use agreement.

The Golf Swing Speed Challenge has no control, authority, or responsibility with respect to Commissions or in relation to any changes made by ClickBank to ClickBank’s TOU, including ClickBank’s payment or transaction procedures for Commissions.
