Total Optimizer Pro
Affiliate Payouts

Our affiliate program is managed by ClickBank, a third party affiliate management company. This provides our affiliates the extra piece of mind, knowing that their payouts are being managed by a company that does not have any sort of financial gain in skewing the numbers (some of us here got our start in affiliate marketing - we know what this doubt feels like).

The ClickBank payout policy reads as follows:

Pay periods.

Pay periods end at 12:00:01am on the 1st and 16th of each month. For security reasons payment is by check only. Checks are mailed within 15 days after the end of the period. Checks over $5000 are sent at our expense by US Priority Mail (US) or Global Priority Mail (Europe, Canada, Australia, etc) wherever possible.

Payment preference.

In your account you may select an amount from $10 to $10000 as your payment preference. The default setting is $100. We hold your check until your payable balance reaches this amount. A $2.50 accounting fee is deducted from each check we issue. To change your payment preference simply login to your account, click the link to "access your account", click the link to "modify your account", select the desired amount from the drop down menu, and click the "save changes" button.

Customer distribution requirement.

ClickBank accounts cannot be used for the sole purpose of collecting rebates, or otherwise extending credit to yourself or others. To ensure compliance with US law, ClickBank will withhold payment of any account balance until it contains purchases by customers located in four or more distinct countries, states, or provinces.

Sales tax collection.

ClickBank computes all applicable sales taxes and presents the total price to the consumer on the order form. For digital products, current US federal law requires us to remit sales taxes only for products purchased by customers whose billing address is in the European Union.

Completed sales.

ClickBank purchases product licenses from publishers at a wholesale price equal to 92.5% of suggested retail, less a $1 stocking fee. ClickBank also collects and remits sales or VAT taxes as required. If an affiliate generated the sale, the remaining amount is automatically split between the publisher and affiliate according to the commission percentage set by the publisher. Amounts are credited to the publisher and affiliate at the moment of sale.

Refunded sales.

If a customer dispute cannot be resolved we may be forced to refund the sale. When a sale is refunded the customer receives a 100% refund, and payouts from that sale are debited back out of the corresponding publisher and affiliate accounts. From the publisher's account we also deduct $1 per refunded online check sale. (There is no similar deduction for credit card refunds.)

Revoked sales.

A purchase is revoked if the customer's bank later claims the purchase was unfunded or fraudulent. Products that generate such complaints cost us money and harm our reputation as a reliable product retailer. From the publisher's account we deduct $1 per returned online check, and $15 per credit card chargeback. We will deduct an additional $35 penalty per credit card chargeback if the publisher's products generate in excess of 0.75% chargebacks in any 90 day period. ClickBank reserves the right to delist any product or group of products at any time.

Debit backdating.

In your account, Refunds and Revokes are backdated 8 days for accounting purposes. For example, if a refund is done on the 7th of the current month, the debit is applied to the previous pay period.

Determination of affiliate.

The affiliate (if any) we associate with any ClickBank sale is determined by an automated customer tracking system. Any decision made by this system is final, and not subject to petition or debate. Though we believe our tracking system to be more fair and accurate than any alternative, we make no representation regarding the ability of the system to track any specific customer, for any specific length of time.

Return allowance.

From each check we deduct a fraction that is credited back to your account after six pay periods (about 90 days). These funds are used to cover our risk of future returns (refunds and revokes) associated with the products you promote. The standard return allowance is 10%. ClickBank may adjust your return allowance at any time.

Dormant accounts.

Accounts with a positive balance but no earnings for an extended period of time are considered dormant. In each pay period a $1 charge applies to accounts dormant for 90 days, and a $10 charge applies to accounts dormant for 365 days.

Account closure.

You may close your account at any time. Any closing balance under $10 will be forfeited.

Account transfer.

At your request we can change the payee associated with your account. To initiate this process we need a signed authorization statement from the current payee sent to us via certified mail. A $50 account transfer fee applies.

Postal delays & Reissued checks.

No national postal service is 100% reliable. If your check is significantly delayed you may request that we send you a new check. Please keep in mind that to issue a new check we have to pay a service fee to the bank network to recall (void) the first check. A $20 cancellation fee applies. New checks can only be issued on days when regular checks are cut (twice monthly). ClickBank must receive the reissue request by the 10th of the month to be processed with the payment for the pay period ending the 1st and by the 26th to be processed with the payment for pay period ending the 16th. There are no exceptions to these deadlines. To request that a check be reissued, please email paychecks@clickbank.com.

Stale paychecks.

ClickBank paychecks are VOID after 90 days from the date of issue. Please present your paychecks to your financial institution promptly. If you present a check after the 90 days your bank may refuse the check. We can issue a new check if the stale check is in our possession. Please write "VOID" across the check and send it to the following address:

ClickBank.com
attn: paycheck department
917 Lusk Street, Suite 200
Boise, ID 83706

After we receive the check a new one will be issued on the next payout date.

Stolen paychecks.

In some countries mail theft is not uncommon. If a paycheck is fraudulently endorsed (deposited by someone other than you) you will need to open a fraud case with our bank. If the bank determines that fraud did occur they will reimburse us the funds so that we may issue another check. ClickBank cannot reissue a check prior to the funds being returned to us or prior to the completion of the investigation by the bank.
