1. How do I get started?
• Read the
Retrieverworld.com Affiliate Program Operating
Agreement.
• Sign up: Fill out a brief online
registration form.

commission fees. You'll automatically be eligible to earn commission fees for sales
generated by your links once your site has been approved.
2. Does it cost anything to become an Affiliate?
No, there are no fees of any kind for applying to
and participating in the Retrieverworld.com Affiliate Program. There is
no charge to apply, and there is no minimum sales requirement or sales
quota you must reach before earning commission fees with our program. You
start earning right away.
3. Does
my website qualify for the Affiliate Program?
Most websites
will qualify to participate in the program; however, we may reject
websites that we determine are unsuitable. Examples of sites that would
NOT qualify for participation include:
Sites that promote sexually
explicit material;
Sites that promote violence;
Sites that promote
discrimination based on race, sex, religion, national origin, physical
disability, sexual orientation, or age;
Sites that promote illegal
activities;
Sites that violate intellectual property rights.
4. Can I participate if I live outside the United
States?
YES, you may participate in the Affiliate Program if
you live outside the United States. All you need to join is a website that
does not
Promote sexually explicit materials;
Promote
violence;
Promote discrimination based on race, sex, religion,
nationality, disability, sexual orientation, or age
Promote illegal
activities;
Violate intellectual property rights.
We suggest
that you read the complete text of the Operating
Agreement before you join. Please note that commission fees are paid in
U.S. dollars.
5.
How should I design my website?
Every Affiliate site is unique,
and we don't provide any kind of standard template for you to start with.
That's because in almost every case, successful Affiliates will have a
pre-existing website when they join the program. You should try to make
your recommendations or links to Retrieverworld.com look and feel like
the rest of your site.
6. I have more than one URL. Can I register all of them as Retrieverworld.com
Affiliate?
Yes. You can sign up once
for all of your URLs.
7. Can I take the order on my website and just
send the customer and order information to Retrieverworld.com?
No. We are able to track your sales on
our data base only when a customer places an order at our site.
8. Can a nonprofit join the Affiliate
Program?
Yes, we encourage nonprofits to join our program.
2. When and how do I
get paid?
We will pay you commission fees on a quarterly basis.
Approximately 30 days following the end of each calendar quarter (March
31, June 30, September 30, December 31). Although the Operating Agreement
states that if your accrued fees for any calendar quarter are less than
$50.00, we will hold payment until the total amount due is at least $50.00
or (if earlier) until the Agreement is terminated, as a service to our
Affiliate, accounts with cumulative earnings in excess of $25 will receive
payment.
If a sale that generated a
commission fee is canceled by the customer, we
will deduct the corresponding fee from your next quarterly payment. If
there is no subsequent payment, we reserve the right to send you a bill
for the fee at the end of the following quarter.
3. How does Retrieverworld.com track orders coming
from my website?
An Affiliate ID is assigned when you sign up
through our online form. Links from Affiliate websites to Retrieverworld.com
use a special format that includes this code. Every
time a customer follows one of those links to our site, this unique URL
tells us which title to display as well as which Affiliate sent the
customer to us.
4. Do I have to meet
sales quotas or performance tiers before I can earn fees?
No.
Unlike many other Affiliate-style programs, we do not require our
Affiliate to meet sales quotas or performance tiers to earn their fees. We
pay 10% commission on sales of our products, regardless of how much you sell.
