   When a web surfer clicks through your affiliate link, a cookie is set in their browser that contains your affiliate username. Also, their IP address is tracked in the database along with your affiliate name. When this person decides to buy a product, the script will look for this cookie and/or try to match their IP address to identify the affiliate who will be awarded the commission. Visitors sent through your affiliate link may make a purchase later in time and the commission will still be awarded if the cookie is present in their browser and/or the are using the same IP address as the one logged in the database.
     
5. Commission Determination
   Only sales tracked through our affiliate tracking system qualify for commissions. If a sale was not tracked by the affiliate tracking system, the Affiliate must contact ULTRAsurge.com within 7 days from the date of the sale to have it manually entered  into the system. Sales will not be manually entered into the system after 7 days from the date of the sale. If we determine (in our sole discretion) that a commission should be awarded to the Affiliate, there is a $0.50 fee to manually enter in a sale.
     
6. Commission Payments
   Affiliate will be entitled to receive 15% of the package sales price generated by customers who follow the special link from the Affiliate's web site to the ULTRAsurge.com web site. If a service that generated a commission is returned or not paid for, we will deduct the corresponding commission amount from the Affiliate's next payment. Payments will be mailed out at the end of each month provided that Affiliate has accumulated at least $25.00 in commissions. If Affiliate has not eared at least $25.00 in commissions, the amount Affiliate has earned will be carried over to the next month or until Affiliate has earned $25.00 in commissions. Commissions will be paid via Paypal.com.
