Calculation of Commissions
The calculation of commissions payable to you is at the sole discretion of SurprisingGift and subject to change without prior notice. This is the system by which your affiliate commissions will be calculated:

When someone clicks through your affiliate link to SurprisingGift.com, AND your affiliate cookie is correctly set on their computer, AND within the cookie period that person places an order and pays for the order, AND the order is successfully delivered, AND a period of 16 days has passed since the delivery of the order, your affiliate account will be credited 5% of the total products value of the order. (The shipping fee of the order is not included in the commission calculation.)

At the second tier: When someone clicks through your affiliate link to SurprisingGift.com, AND your affiliate cookie is correctly set on their computer, AND within the cookie period that person successfully signs up as a SurprisingGift Affiliate, AND that 2nd tier affiliate successfully refers a sale (as described above), your affiliate account will be credited 1% of the total products value of the order.

Please note the following important conditions:

• The cookie duration is 30 days;
• If the customer clicks through another SurprisingGift Affiliate's link, the cookie will be overwritten with their ID;
• Commissions cannot and will not be calculated or credited manually;
• If for whatever reason our online system did not credit a particular order to your affiliate ID we cannot and will not credit it to your account manually;
• Commissions are shown in your Affiliate Account on SurprisingGift.com before they are actually credited: if the order that was made by your referred buyer is not paid for and delivered, commission will not be paid;
• Commissions initially shown as credited to you from delivered orders may be withdrawn if the order in question changes status due to payment issues (such as a credit card chargeback or Paypal reversal) or item returns;
• Ordering goods for yourself or your dropship customers through your own affiliate link is allowed, and SurprisingGift reserves the right to take such affiliate commissions into consideration in calculations affecting your SurprisingGift Buyer account. For example if you order products through your own link and later return them, SurprisingGift reserves the right to subtract your original affiliate commission to yourself from any refund applicable to that order or from future affiliate commission payments.
• SurprisingGift Affiliates are bound by the normal terms and conditions if buying from SurprisingGift as a regular Buyer, and SurprisingGift undertakes no responsibilities promoting or endorsing your products and services.

Payment of Commissions
SurprisingGift will pay you your affiliate commissions based on the following conditions:

• Your commission earned up to and including a calendar month is paid within the first 15 days of the succeeding month;
• All commissions are paid through Paypal ONLY, to the paypal account email address you specified during signup;
• The minimum commission payout is USD 50.00 (e.g. if you have $51 in commissions you will be paid the full $51 through Paypal on the monthly payout day, but if you only have $49 you will have to wait until you go over $50 before you get paid anything at all);
• If payments are unclaimed SurprisingGift does not undertake responsibility to contact you as Paypal will already send more than one email reminding you to claim / collect the funds; it is your responsibility to keep your contact information up to date;
• If an unclaimed payment is returned to SurprisingGift by Paypal, we will attempt repayment if you contact us;
• Unclaimed payments over 90 days old will not be paid.
• If an affiliate commission is accidentally overpaid by SurprisingGift, you agree to promptly remit such excess payment upon notification by us. We may withhold further commission payments until the previous overpayment is resolved.
• You are wholly responsible for declaring your income from the SurprisingGift Affiliate Program to the taxation and legal authorities in your country. SurprisingGift undertakes no responsibility in assisting you with financial or legal paperwork relating to your Affiliate Commissions. SurprisingGift reserves the right to charge for services providing formal paperwork or other confirmations of your Affiliate Commissions.
