Links/graphics on your site, in your emails, or other communications

Once you have signed up for the Affiliate Program, you will be assigned a unique Affiliate Code. You are permitted to place links, banners, or other graphics we provide with your Affiliate Code on your site, in your emails, or in other communications. We will provide you with guidelines, link styles, and graphical artwork to use in linking to Best Cellular. We may change the design of the artwork at any time without notice, but we won’t change the dimensions of the images without proper notice.

To permit accurate tracking, reporting, and referral fee accrual, we will provide you with special link formats to be used in all links between your site and Best Cellular. You must ensure that each of the links between your site and Best Cellular properly utilizes such special link formats. Links to Best Cellular placed on your site pursuant to this Agreement and which properly utilize such special link formats are referred to as “Affiliate Links.” You will earn referral fees only with respect to sales on a Best Cellular product occurring directly through Affiliate Links; we will not be liable to you with respect to any failure by you or someone you refer to use Affiliate Links or incorrectly type your Affiliate Code, including to the extent that such failure may result in any reduction of amounts that would otherwise be paid to you pursuant to this Agreement.

Affiliate Links should point to the page of the product being promoted.

Referral Fees/Commissions and Payment

For a Product sale to be eligible to earn a referral fee, the customer must click-through an Affiliate Link from your site, email, or other communications to a page on the / domain and complete an order for a product during that session.

Authorized Best Cellular affiliates will now earn 10.00% commission on all sales generated as a referral of their affiliate links unless otherwise agreed upon.

We will only pay commissions on links that are automatically tracked and reported by our systems. We will not pay commissions if someone says they purchased or someone says they entered a referral code if it was not tracked by our system. We can only pay commissions on business generated through properly formatted special links that were automatically tracked by our systems.

We reserve the right to disqualify commissions earned through fraudulent, illegal, or overly aggressive, questionable sales or marketing methods.

Payments only begin once you’ve earned more than $10 in affiliate income. If your affiliate account never crosses the $10 threshold, your commissions will not be realized or paid. We are only responsible for paying accounts that have crossed the $10 threshold.

Qualifying Purchases and Revenue

We will pay Standard Program Fees described in “Referral Fees/commissions and payment” in connection with “Qualifying Purchases”, which (subject to the exclusions described in this Fee Statement) occur when:

(a) our customer clicks on your assigned Affiliate Link to Best Cellular; and

i. our customer purchases a Product (as limited to tangible goods and in exclusion of digital products) via Best Cellular, or

ii. our customer purchases a Product by adding a Product to his or her shopping cart and completes the order for that Product no later than 89 days after their initial click-through of the Affiliate Link, and

(b) our customer actually receives and pays for such Product.

For each Qualifying Purchase, the corresponding “Qualifying Revenue” is equal to the amount we actually receive from that Qualifying Purchase. The Qualifying Revenue may in certain cases be less any shipping charges, gift-wrapping fees, taxes, service charges, rebates, credit card processing fees, and bad debt.

Disqualified Purchases

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Qualifying Purchases are disqualified whenever they occur in connection with a violation of this Affiliates Program Fee Statement or any other terms, conditions, specifications, statements, and policies that we may issue from time to time that applies to the Affiliates Program. For example, no Program Fees are payable for a purchase that is not correctly tracked or reported because the links from your Site to Best Cellular are not properly formatted, or for a purchase through an Affiliate Link that violates the terms of the Program Documents.

Additionally, the following purchases that would otherwise be Qualified Purchases are disqualified and excluded from the Affiliates Program:

(a) any Product purchased after termination of your Best Cellular Affiliate Program Account,

(b) any Product order where a cancellation, return or refund has been initiated,

(c) any Product purchased by a customer who is referred to Best Cellular by a link that is generated or displayed on a search engine (including Google, Yahoo, Bing, or any other search portal, sponsored advertising service, or other search or referral service, or any site that participates in such search engine’s network),

(d) any Product purchased by a customer who is referred to Best Cellular by a link that sends users indirectly to Best Cellular via an intermediate site, without requiring the customer to click on a link or take some other affirmative action on that intermediate site (a “Redirecting Link”), and

(e) any Product purchased by a customer, where such customer does not comply with the terms and conditions applicable to Best Cellular.
