Customers need to sign up or place an order during this time to be linked with your affiliate account.
6. Royalties
For each referred customer who visits the Site through your unique URL and signs up as a customer, you will only receive commission if RedCili Media products are sold through RedCili Media-approved ecommerce platforms and integrations. You will not receive commission for sample orders. Additionally, taxes and shipping are excluded from the calculations, but discounts are included. The affiliate period of each customer lasts 9 months after your referred customer’s first order. Referring a prospective customer who previously was or currently is a RedCili Media customer does not qualify for commission. You can track affiliate commissions by logging into your Affiliate Dashboard on the Site. Affiliate commission is credited once the customer’s order is fully shipped, meaning that if part of the order has been shipped, commission will not be credited until the final part of the order gets shipped. To avoid confusion, all tax-related reporting to relevant tax authorities is entirely your responsibility. We will withhold taxes from payments that are due (including international payments) if you do not provide RedCili Media with relevant documentation if required.

You will receive commission after the order has been fully shipped, meaning that if part of the order has been shipped, commission will not be credited until the final part of the order gets shipped. Commission is calculated after any refunds if any refund is given to orders. In the event that the customer’s order is cancelled, returned or refunded for any reason, we will deduct the relevant amount from your accrued earnings. If a refund is made after we have paid commission to you, we will deduct the respective amount from your account (any future payments). The minimum withdrawal amount is RM50.00. If for any reason this Agreement is terminated prior to your first commission being due and the account balance does not exceed RM50.00, then no referral commission will be due. If commission is not withdrawn from the balance within 1 (one) year, then this past due commission is voided and removed from the commission balance. All payments will be made via PayPal, Stripe or selected bank account. You must have a PayPal or Stripe account for this purpose. Payments are made via the payment providers in Ringgit Malaysia within 1-3 business days after your request is received.
