For example, the payment for the sales made in March will be issued in May. We explicitly reserve the right to change payout information in our sole and exclusive discretion. If we do so, you will be notified.
Payouts are also subject to the

For any disputes regarding payouts,
the Company must be notified within thirty days of the payout. We will review
each dispute notification as well as the underlying payout transaction to which
it is related. Disputes filed after thirty days of payout will not be
addressed.
9) REPORTS
You may log into your account with us
to review reports related to your affiliation, such as payout reports and
