7. Referral Fees (Affiliate Financial Compensation)
7.1 Important Message: All Affiliates should be aware that at the present time, all pay-per-lead referral fees relate to leads to the AffiliateAppSystem.com CPA Affiliate Program.
7.2 Qualifying Referral Fees: We will pay you in United States dollars on a pay-per-lead basis, per confirmed lead, at the rate specified on your Affiliate Control Panel. A confirmed lead to the AffiliateAppSystem.com Affiliate Program is achieved when someone subscribes to our website and/or web form and confirms their subscription by email. New lead registrations will have 30 days to confirm their registration. If the new lead has not confirmed their registration within the required timeframe, it will be deleted from your account's pending balance. Notwithstanding the above, AffiliateAppSystem.com reserves the right to determine, in its sole discretion, whether a lead to the AffiliateAppSystem.com Affiliate Program is confirmed for the purposes of paying referral fees to Affiliates.
All Affiliates that are accepted to the AffiliateAppSystem.com Affiliate Program will have access to their own personal Affiliate Control Panel, where they will find the current and accurate pay rate. The pay rate may be changed by AffiliateAppSystem.com in its sole discretion, without notice and will be updated within the Affiliate Control Panel.

All Affiliate payments are subject to:
(i) You having reached minimum payment threshold; and
(ii) Your account not being under investigation for fraud,
(the “Payment Conditions”)
(b) Once a payment has been approved by AffiliateAppSystem.com it will become a "qualifying referral fee" and will be displayed under "amount due" in your Affiliate Control Panel.

Once your payment has been processed, its status will change from “pending” (Amount Due) to “sent” (Total Paid to date).
(c) In the event your total qualifying referral fees for any month are less than $50.00 (excluding any bonus commissions) we will hold all qualifying referral fees until the amount due to you is at least $50.00 or until such time as this Agreement is terminated, whichever is the earlier.
(d) All Affiliate referral fees are paid on a one time basis only. Multiple subscriptions (leads) to our website from the same IP address or with the same contact details such as email address or name, will only be paid a referral fee once (1 time). If multiple subscriptions (leads) from the same IP address or with the same contact details occur, these commissions per lead will be declined.
(e) If referral fee qualifying services are not confirmed or are unsubscribed by your customer, the corresponding referral fees will be deducted on or after the 15th of the following month, or if the corresponding referral fee has already been paid to you, the referral fee will be deducted from your next monthly referral fee payment.

We can re-issue your payment only after thirty (30) days but within ninety (90) days. An administration and payment cancellation fee of NZ$25 per payment will apply for re-issuing your payment and cancelling your previous payment. We currently do not provide payments via wire transfer.
