This consent is a material condition of this Agreement and may not be revoked except in writing by both Parties. You understand and agree that the foregoing method is the only reasonable method of opting out. You further agree that any other method of opting-out is not a reasonable means of opting out.

SECTION 5 – COMPENSATION

If Your application to become an Affiliate is approved by Top Rated Systems, You will receive a unique Affiliate ID and an Affiliate URL. The Affiliate ID will be incorporated within each Affiliate URL which You will use to advertise Top Rated Systems. You will have the opportunity to receive a Commission for each Sale (“Sale”) that is registered through your Affiliate URL using Your Affiliate ID. A Prospect must sign up and complete payment for Service through your Affiliate URL in order for You to earn a commission.

In the event that a prospect (“Prospect”) has multiple Affiliate cookies (“Cookies”), the most recently-acquired Cookie will determine which Affiliate is credited with a Sale (e.g. if a Prospect goes to your Affiliate website or URL and does not sign up and complete payment, then goes to another Affiliate’s website or URL and signs up and completes payment through that Affiliate URL, the second Affiliate would earn the Commission for the Sale). Affiliate will not be compensated for any Prospects or Clients who are already subscribed to a Top Rated Systems Service. Top Rated Systems shall have the sole and exclusive authority to deny and/or revoke a Commission or Commissions based on Your conduct or representation of Top Rated Systems, affiliate-hopping or other action that creates multiple Commissions for one true transaction, which shall be determined at the sole discretion of Top Rated Systems. Although a Sale has been associated with an Affiliate ID, that Sale may be attributed to another Affiliate ID at the sole discretion of Top Rated Systems if deemed necessary.

Provided that the Client Account remains active in good status and up to date on payments, You will be paid a commission for each Sale that generates a payment to Top Rated Systems (“Commission”). Except as otherwise provided herein, Commission payments will be paid after the end of the 2nd month following Top Rated Systems’ receipt of payment by the Client for a Sale, subject to the other terms of this Agreement. All Commission payments are based on the amount of fees received by Top Rated Systems, less sales taxes.

NOTE: Our Affiliate Offerings and Commission Payment Amounts Are Subject to Change at Any Time and We May Offer More or Less Incentives at Our Discretion and/or Depending on the Specials We Are Offering Customers at that Time. Current Commission Amounts can always be found on this page. It is the Affiliate's responsibility to check this Affiliate Agreement and Terms page to review current Commission offerings prior to referring a potential Client. Top Rated Systems will not be responsible for any more Commission amounts than those that are provided below:

The Current Amount of Commissions for promoting Top Rated Systems are as follows:

(a) For Referring a Client that is Paying a Minimum of a $250 Website Design Fee and Web Hosting Package billed at a minimum of $50/month to client:

Commission to Affiliate: $50 one-time payment and according to the terms in this Section 5.

(b) For Referring a Client that is Paying a Minimum of a $199/month for Samantha on Call Ai Phone Services:

Commission to Affiliate: $50/month recurring payment and according to the terms in this Section 5.

All Commissions are paid in U.S. Dollars (USD) or otherwise in currencies offered by the payment provider. Some payment methods may incur processing fees that may be deducted from Your Commissions.

Quota Requirement: If Your number of “Sales” in a 180-day period do not exceed nine (9), this Agreement and all Commissions will terminate automatically and Your Commission, including recurring Commission, will not be paid and will be forfeited by You to Top Rated Systems without any further action being required.

You may be required to register with our third-party payment provider to receive payment of Commission. This means You are authorizing third party companies to contact You. Before You can be paid any Commission, You must provide Top Rated Systems a completed W-8 or W-9 tax form, as instructed by Top Rated Systems, as well as any supporting documentation requested by Top Rated Systems or its third-party payment provider. You will be deemed to have permanently waived and forfeited all rights to Commission that were earned more than 15 days before submitting a completed W-8 or W-9 tax form or any ancillary supporting documentation that is requested to confirm the information on your tax form. If You are not a resident of the United States, Top Rated Systems may withhold tax (including without limitation VAT) where required by applicable law. You are solely responsible for complying with all tax laws in Your respective jurisdiction(s) including, but not limited to, the payment of all required taxes, and filing of all returns and other required documents with, the applicable governing body(ies).

Affiliates will not be paid any Commission for payments made on Affiliate’s own user account(s). Affiliates are not permitted to open a Top Rated Systems account under the name of another person or entity, under a fictitious name, or under any name merely for the purpose of obtaining Commission or any other compensation. Affiliates may not pay for another person’s or entity’s account. Affiliates are not permitted to offer cash rebates or other monetary incentives to obtain Sales. Furthermore, You are not permitted to have more than one (1) Top Rated Systems Affiliate account (including all such business entities of Yours, subsidiaries, or other affiliated businesses of Yours). If You are found to have more than one (1) Top Rated Systems Affiliate account, Your accounts will be terminated and all Commission pending payout, including recurring Commission, will be immediately forfeited by You to Top Rated Systems.

Commission is paid only for transactions that actually occur between Top Rated Systems and a Sale and in which payment is received by Top Rated Systems. If payment for a Client Account later results in a refund or chargeback, and if a Commission was paid to You for that Client Account payment, then the Commission will be deducted from Your future Commission.

If Top Rated Systems determines, in its sole and exclusive discretion, that you misrepresented Top Rated Systems in any way, or that Your conduct as an Affiliate is unacceptable, or that any Sale was procured fraudulently or as a result of any violation of this Agreement or applicable law, no Commission will be earned by You or paid by Top Rated Systems for such Sale and, for past Sales, such payment amounts shall be deducted from Your future Commission, and Top Rated Systems may terminate this Agreement immediately, without notice, and without Top Rated Systems having any liability to You, and all Commission pending payout, including recurring Commission, will be immediately forfeited by You to Top Rated Systems.

Commission for any Prospect or Client that is already associated with a Top Rated Systems Affiliate, referral, or other program may not be considered a Sale, as determined by Top Rated Systems in its sole discretion. You may not receive double commissions or compensation.

In the event that the Prospects or Clients that are referred to Top Rated Systems by an Affiliate

are determined to have an excessive cancellation rate, as determined by Top Rated Systems in

its sole discretion, Top Rated Systems reserves the right to withhold or decline pending and future

Commissions to such Affiliate.

Any attempt by an Affiliate to manipulate, falsify or inflate Prospects or Clients, Sales, or Commission Fees to intentionally defraud Top Rated Systems or any violation of the terms of this Agreement constitutes immediate grounds for Top Rated Systems to terminate the Affiliate’s participation in the Affiliate Program and will result in the forfeiture of any Commissions due to the Affiliate.

Top Rated Systems, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to modify the available payment methods or payment schedule at any time. Such changes shall take effect when posted. You are only eligible to earn Commission on Sales occurring during the Term of this Agreement. We may withhold your final payment of Commissions for a reasonable time to ensure that all Sales are valid and payment from Clients are legitimate as determined by the Top Rated Systems in its sole discretion.

SECTION 6 – AFFILIATE TRACKING COOKIES

Top Rated Systems tracks Affiliate Sales automatically by using cookies. The cookies are automatically placed in the browser of the user who clicks on the Affiliate link in order to reach our website. If a previous Affiliate’s cookie is already placed in the same user’s browser it will be overwritten with the new cookie. In order to receive Commission for a Sale, Your tracking cookies must match the final Sale when the Client clicks on payment button and completes payment. If cookies are deleted intentionally by the Prospect or Client, Top Rated Systems does not hold responsibility for this action.

SECTION 7 – TERM AND TERMINATION

The term of this Agreement will begin the earlier of (i) when you apply to become an affiliate and click and/or check “I agree to the terms & conditions” and/or I accept “Affiliate Agreement and Terms” and submit; or (ii) Your participation in the Affiliate program is approved and you are provided an Affiliate link. Your participation in the Top Rated Systems Affiliate program will continue month-to-month until terminated. Either Party may terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause, by giving the other Party thirty (30) days’ written notice of termination sent to Contact@Support.TopRated.Systems or the Affiliate email address on file and/or according to the terms in Section 5 and Section 7. If, in our sole discretion, You fail, or we suspect that You have failed, to comply with any term or provision of the Agreement or the Terms of Service, or violated any law, whether in connection with Your use of Top Rated Systems or otherwise, Top Rated Systems may take any action that it deems necessary, including without limitation to terminating the Agreement or suspending Your access to the Affiliate website (“Website”) at any time without notice to You. In addition, if, based on our data, you have a dispute rate greater than 2%, we may terminate this Agreement or suspend your access to the Website or portal at any time without notice to You. In such instances as described above, and in our sole discretion, we may terminate our relationship and suspend any accounts owned/controlled by You. For the avoidance of doubt, and without limitation for purposes of the foregoing, any violation of the required disclosure will be deemed a material breach of this Agreement. See Advertising Rules Section 8.d, Disclosure. In the event this Agreement is canceled due to Your breach, You immediately forfeit all Commission and any other payments owed to You or that may in the future be owed to You without any further liability by Top Rated Systems to You. This Agreement and all commissions will terminate automatically if You do not earn a minimum of ten (10) Sales over a six (6) month period.

If this Agreement is terminated or canceled, then these provisions will survive: all limitations of liability, disclaimers of warranties, indemnity obligations, mandatory arbitration and class action waiver provisions, and exceptions to arbitration. All representations and warranties undertaken by You shall also survive termination or cancellation of this Agreement and/or Your Top Rated Systems account.

applicable law or regulation will immediately forfeit any right to any and all accrued, but not yet received, Commissions and will be immediately removed from the Affiliate Program.
