If a Referred Customer cancels their monthly subscription before the end of the payment period the transaction will not be deemed a Valid Transaction, and no Partner Fees shall be paid to the Partner for that Referred Customer for that period.
- All payments of the Partner Fees will be due and payable in United States Dollars only, except as otherwise determined by Pagecloud in its sole discretion. Payment will be made through the Partnerstack Platform via the the Partnerstack Platforms supported method of Partner Payouts.
- In the event of any activity deemed suspicious by Pagecloud at its sole determination, Pagecloud may delay payment of the Partner Fees to Partner for up to one hundred eighty (180) days to verify the relevant transactions, and in the event that Pagecloud determines the activity to constitute Fraud Traffic, it shall recalculate and/or withhold the Partner Fees accordingly and in its sole discretion. In the event that Pagecloud reasonably determines that Partner is involved, directly or indirectly, in any fraudulent, deceptive, manipulative, misleading, or otherwise illegal activity connected to Pagecloud, including without limitation to the Pagecloud Site, Tracking Codes and/or Users, Pagecloud shall have the right, in addition to any other right or remedy available to it under this Agreement or applicable law, to render the Tracking Codes assigned to such Partner inoperative and immediately block Partner access to the Program, with no compensation to Partner and no liability whatsoever to Pagecloud. Partner hereby irrevocably waives any claim or demand whatsoever against Pagecloud, its directors, officers, shareholders, or employees in respect of such action taken by Pagecloud.
- Partner is responsible for the payment of all taxes applicable to the conduct of Partner’s business. The payment to the Partner shall be subject to any withholding tax obligations applicable by law. It is agreed that the Partner Fees are inclusive of any and all taxes applicable by any law including VAT.
- In the event of a discrepancy between the dollar amount that Pagecloud reports to be payable to Partner for a particular Payment Period and the amount Partner believes that they are owed for Validated Transactions which occurred during that Payment Period, Partner has until the end of the Payment Period in which the Report was issued to dispute the payment amount. Once a dispute has been issued, Pagecloud will investigate the claim and will determine in its sole discretion whether Partner’s claim of mispayment is warranted. If Pagecloud determines Partner’s claim of mispayment to be valid, the amount accounting for the disparity will be added to the Payment Period in which the dispute was resolved. The failure of Partner to inform Pagecloud of any payment dispute by the end of the Payment Period will be construed as Partner’s acceptance of Pagecloud’s determination of Partner Fees due for that Payment Period and constitutes a waiver of Partner’s rights to dispute the payment.
