As a participating member in the HomeGrownCash Program you have three (3) forms of commission payout available to you: (a) payout based on sign-ups; (b) payout based on partnership; (c) payout based on affiliate referrals.

a) Payout based on sign-ups: We will pay you a commission of up to $20.00 per sign-up from the traffic you send to HomeGrownCash approved websites. Affiliates sending sign-ups in excess of 15 per period might be entitled to a commission of up to $25.00 per sign-up for all signups sent that period. Contact us (link to contact page?) to see if you qualify for a higher payout. No commission will be paid on sign-ups that result in a chargeback or refund.

"sign-up" shall be defined as (a) a person or entity who bought a trial membership or (b) a person or entity who bought a full month membership.

Micro-payment sign-ups (by phone, SMS or credit card) do not qualify for pay per sign-up and shall earn you 50% of the revenues generated. If you wish micro-payments options turned off on your account, contact us.

b) Payout based on partnership: We will pay you 50% of all subscription revenue generated by traffic you send to HomeGrownCash approved websites. We will deduct processing fees from your payout. We will deduct from your account any fees for chargebacks, refunds, or revokes.

c) Payout based on Affiliate Referral: We will pay you 5% of the payouts an affiliate you refer to HomeGrownCash through your linking code generates. If referred affiliate's account is terminated, you will not be paid on that affiliate's revenues.

16. Changes to Commission Programs.

Commission rates and ratios are subject to change from time to time, upon email notice to you and/or notice posted on our site. Note that a commission will only be paid if the visitor to an HomeGrownCash approved site can be tracked by the system from the time of the click on your Link to the time of the sale. No commission will be paid if the visitor's payment to the HomeGrownCashProgram cannot be tracked directly to your site by our system or if full payment for services is not made by the customer.
