6.2. Affiliates are paid approximately within 30 days of a withdraweral request made from the Affiliate Control Panel provided that Company may, in its discretion, withhold payments until such time as referred customers have completed payment for our service. Affiliates must not have any outstanding payments due to Company to receive payments from Company. Company may in its absolute discretion pay Affiliates as credit against any invoices due to Company. Affiliates must have a minimum of USD100 in credit before a withdraweral request can be submitted via the Affiliate Control Panel. Payments shall be made by digital payment (such as PayPal). All payments are made in U.S. or Australian Dollars only. Additional payment options (including, but not limited to, electronic payments whether directly or via a 3rd-party provider) may be added at any time. Should this occur, a notice will be sent via email with details and instructions for enrollment. It is the sole responsibility of Affiliates to ensure that their payment information, regardless of means of transmission, is current and correct. Digital Payments (such as PayPal) sent to a valid email address cannot be reversed or retransmitted for any reason. Additionally, digital payments may be subject to total dollar amount limits as imposed by the payment provider, and if that limit should be exceeded the Affiliate will receive as many separate payments as necessary to reach the full amount earned in the given payment period.

Any Affiliate that is removed from the Program because of non-compliant behavior will no longer receive commissions from any referred customers. Affiliates who voluntarily close their account will cease earning commissions immediately, as will any Affiliate who is removed due to cessation of promotional activity (no visible links or click activity for a period of one (1) year or more) and is not responsive to outreach attempts.

Checks are subject to a replacement fee of $25 per check, which will be deducted from the original payment amount. Should this deduction cause the total check amount to fall below the minimum payment threshold as outlined in section 6.5 the Company reserves the right to withhold issuance until the threshold is reached in subsequent payment periods.

6.8. Any checks which can not be deposited due to date expiration, checks that have been returned to the Company for any reason, or incorrect email addresses provided for digital payments rejected by third-party provider may be re-issued upon request and are subject to a $25 reissue fee.

8. Promotion Restrictions

8.1. You are free to promote your own websites, but any promotion mentioning Launchpad6 could be perceived by the public or the press as a joint effort. Any pending balances owed to you will not be paid if your account is terminated because of unacceptable advertising. To avoid confusion, the following promotional restrictions are to be followed by all participating Affiliates:

  • 8.1.1. Certain forms of advertising are always prohibited by Launchpad6. For example, advertising commonly referred to as "spamming" is unacceptable to us and could cause damage to our name.

  • 8.1.2. Other generally prohibited forms of advertising include the use of unsolicited commercial email (UCE), postings to non-commercial newsgroups and cross-posting to multiple newsgroups at once.

  • 8.1.3. You may not advertise in any way that effectively conceals or misrepresents your identity, your domain name, or your return email address.

  • 8.1.4. You may use mailings to customers to promote Launchpad6 so long as the recipient is already a customer or subscriber of your services or web site, and recipients have the option to remove themselves from future mailings.

  • 8.1.5. You may post to newsgroups to promote Launchpad6 so long as the news group specifically welcomes commercial messages.

  • 8.1.6. At all times, you must clearly represent yourself and your web site(s) as independent from Launchpad6 and its clients.

  • 8.1.7. If it comes to our attention that you are spamming, we will consider that cause for immediate termination of this Agreement and your participation in the Launchpad6 Affiliate Program.

8.2. Affiliates that advertise among other keywords or exclusively bid in their pay-per-click campaigns on keywords such as Launchpad6, Launchpad6.com, www.Launchpad6 and/or any misspellings or similar alterations of these - be it separately or in combination with other keywords - will be considered trademark violators, and will be terminated from Launchpad6's Affiliate Program. We will do everything possible to contact the Affiliate prior to the ban. However, we reserve the right to expel any trademark violator from our Affiliate Program without prior notice, and on the first occurrence of such pay-per-click bidding behavior.

8.3. Affiliates are prohibited from keying in prospect's information into the signup form with the intent of misrepresenting or falsifying leads.

8.4. Affiliate shall not transmit any so-called "interstitials," "Parasiteware™," "Parasitic Marketing," "Shopping Assistance Application," "Toolbar Installations and/or Add-ons," "Shopping Wallets" or "deceptive pop-ups and/or pop-unders" to consumers from the time the consumer clicks on a qualifying link until such time as the consumer has fully exited Merchant's site (i.e., no page from our site or any Launchpad6's content or branding is visible on the end-user's screen). As used herein, "Parasiteware™" and "Parasitic Marketing" shall mean an application that (a) through accidental or direct intent causes the overwriting of Affiliate and non Affiliate commission tracking cookies through any other means than a customer initiated click on a qualifying link on a web page or email; (b) intercepts searches to redirect traffic through an installed software thereby causing pop ups, commission tracking cookies to be put in place, or other commission tracking cookies to be overwritten where a user would under normal circumstances have arrived at the same destination through the results given by the search (search engines being, but not limited to, Google, Bing, Yahoo, AOL and similar search or directory engines); (c) set commission tracking cookies through loading of Launchpad6's site in IFrames, hidden links and automatic pop ups that open Launchpad6's site; (d) targets text on websites, other than those web sites 100% owned by the application owner, for the purpose of contextual marketing; or (e) removes, replaces or blocks the visibility of affiliate banners with any other banners, other than those that are on websites 100% owned by the owner of the application.

8.5. We strongly advise Affiliates to stay compliant with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on testimonials and endorsements. For example, all endorsements, reviews, testimonials on Launchpad6's products and services, as well as relationships between other types of content websites (forums, blogs, microblogs and other Social Media channels) and Launchpad6 must be clearly disclosed in a separate policy on the Affiliate site(s). The FTC has noted that "when there exists a connection between the endorser and the seller of the advertised product", it is imperative that such connection is "fully disclosed". FTC also scrutinizes that relationship as an endorser-sponsor arrangement, and believes that the end user has the right to understand that an endorser-sponsor relationship exists (click here for more detail). We share the concept and concern of the FTC's approach and will not tolerate any Affiliates that fail to adhere to the FTC's guidance. We reserve the right to terminate our relationship with any non-compliant Affiliates.

8.6. Launchpad6 Affiliates are rewarded for networking and bringing in new customers through their own marketing efforts. Launchpad6 prohibits Affiliates from utilizing their Affiliate link to refer their own customer account(s) to receive commission (“self referrals”). This also includes accounts that are not under their name but are paid for using a payment medium that they own. This includes forms of online payment (Credit/Debit cards) but also checks and money orders. Also prohibited are referrals for individuals of the Affiliate’s immediate family or household, or any other such relationship deemed problematic by the Company.

8.7. Launchpad6 Affiliates doing business within the EU are required to be compliant with GDPR regulations regarding data protection enacted on May 25, 2018. Company reserves the right to review your compliance as necessary. Failure to prove compliance may result in termination from the Program.
