Accrual. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, ILF will pay the following
commissions to Reseller for each Qualified Purchase ("Commission Fees"
or "Commissions"), provided that at
any given time, no Commission Fee is
to be payable unless the
Commission Fees owed at that time total $100, and 120 days have elapsed from the sales date (the
“Payment Threshold”).
For purposes of this Agreement, “Net Revenue” shall
mean gross revenue collected by ILF from a Qualified Purchase of ILF’s Products
by a Referred Customer, less any credit card fees, promotions and discounts,
customer refunds, sales commissions, or sales, excise, use
or value-added taxes.
Commissions will accrue and only become payable once the Reseller
provides all relevant tax and payment information. All Qualified Purchases
eligible to result in Commissions under this Section must remain active and in
good standing pursuant to the terms of this Agreement in order to remain
eligible for accrual.
Commission
Fees Calculation
Qualified
Purchase by Customer not previously registered with ILF: [20]%
of Net Revenue
collected
over [12 ]months;
8.2.Payment.
a) Commission
Fees will be processed within thirty (30) days after the end of any
quarter in which the Payment Threshold is hit, or upon
notice from Reseller
that the Payment Threshold has been hit, and shall be payable via
check or wire transfer.
b) Commission Fees shall be paid based on the current
information provided by Reseller to ILF. Reseller is responsible for informing

identification number, or other information that will impact ILF's ability to
issue a valid Commission payment.

charged by PayPal, bank or other financial institute used to receive Reseller

third- party provider is acceptable for the transfer of Reseller Commission
Fees.
d) Reseller agrees to file any tracking or Commission
disputes as well as any other disputes and discrepancies within thirty (30)
days after the end of the month in which the sale or event that is disputed
occurred. Disputes filed after thirty (30) days of the date on which the
Qualified Purchase occurred will not be accepted by ILF and Reseller forfeits
forever any rights to a potential claim.

party is responsible for all charges, costs, and taxes, provided that neither
party is responsible for any taxes imposed on, or regarding, the other party’s

procedures concerning ILF orders, ILF service, and ILF Products sales will
