We are independent parties and this agreement will not form any partnership.
AGREEMENT DURATION

This agreement will begin upon our acceptance of your affiliate application and will end when terminated by either party. Termination may happen at any time, with or without cause, with or without notice to Affiliate.
MODIFICATION

By posting a Change Notice or a new agreement on this site, we may modify any of the terms and conditions within this Agreement at any time and at our sole discretion. These modifications may include, but not limited to changes in the scope of available referral/commission fees, fee schedules, payment procedures and Program rules. If any of the modifications are UNACCEPTABLE TO YOU, your only recourse is to terminate this Agreement. If you CONTINUE PARTICIPATION IN THE PROGRAM following the posting of a Change Notice or new agreement, it will be considered as your acceptance of the change.
BUSINESS / FRIENDS & FAMILY COMMISSION FEES

You will receive $125 of the revenue as a commission from any order placed through your Affiliate Referrals that results in the installation of a new DISH Network subscriber account under the Digital Home Advantage promotion with a minimum of America's Top 100, DishLATINO, Great Wall, Arabic Elite Super Pack, Antenna Plus One, Polish Super Pack, Russian Mega Pack, or South Asian Mega Pack programming. Orders activated under Formers, Club DISH, or Free For All promotions, or orders activated with the DishFAMILY programming package, will earn you $50 in commission. You will receive $10 of the revenue from orders placed through the Affiliate Sites of those sub-Affiliates which you have sponsored into the AllSat Affiliate Program.
For a sale to generate a commission to an Affiliate, the customer must complete the order and have their satellite system installed and activated with service. Commissions may be chargedback if customer does not remain active for 30 consecutive days.
Affiliate commissions will only be paid on sales which are made through qualified Affiliates. AllSat's employees, callcenter employees, their friends, or relatives are not eligible to be qualified Affiliates.
ELIGIBILITY / PAY SCHEDULE

Referral fees can only be earned between the acceptance of the Affiliate application and notice of termination.
Affiliates set up with direct deposit will be paid once a week. If the sale is approved between Monday and the following Sunday (of any given week), the commission will be paid on the following Thursday. Funds will be available on the following bank business day, usually Friday.
All other affiliates will be paid commissions on confirmed sales twice a month. If the sale is confirmed between the 1st and 15th of the month, the payment will be issued on the 1st of the following month. If the sale is confirmed between the 15th and the 1st, the payment will be issued on the following 15th.
Any returned checks, chargebacks, or fees from a returned order will be adjusted in the following fee payment. If no fee payment is due a billing invoice for the amount will be issued.
If we have to stop payment on a check, there will be a $20 fee. We will not send any commission checks out expedited.
NO COMMISSION will be earned on orders placed for the personal use of the Affiliate, his or her immediate family, or others whose relationship is judged by AllSat to constitute self-referral. If "Friends and Family" Affiliates are not customers of AllSat then the first sale will automatically be denied as it is judged to constitute self-referral. "Business Classic" and "Business Select" Affiliates must have two approved sales before receiving their first commission check. If "Business Classic" or "Business Select" Affiliates do not have a second approved sale within 90 days of the first sale, the first sale will be charged back as it will be judged to constitute self-referral.

AllSat will be responsible for processing every order placed by a customer the Affiliate Refers.
