Signups only paid if surfer stays 4+ hours
I signed up to a sponsor this morning, but now I've looked more closely at their terms and conditions, I'm reconsidering whether I should promote them.
Their terms said: "[Sponsor name] will pay the Webmaster $35 per sign up referred, as soon as this is not cancelled within the following 4 hours after the registration, and an access is confirmed, within the same period, to the selected content." Now, I can understand why they would do this, as they don't want to pay me $35 when the surfer has just paid $2 and bogged off again... BUT I have to say, after going to all the effort of pre-selling the surfer and getting them to to the tour and eager to sign up, it's not my problem if they don't stay for more than four hours. I did my job... Do other companies use this "minimum time before cancellation" thing? Do you think it's fair?

Not my fault if their member's area sucks.
Move on… |

I agree. It's up to the sponsors to convert and retain customers. We should be paid for holding up our end of the deal.

ugh, 4 hours?!? This is why I choose my sponsors wisely, and promote sites that i myself would sign up for. 4 hours... most of my surfers that rebill, rebill for 4 months or more! ive even had a few that have been rebilling for over 2 years at ATK, they seriously need to look at their shitty members area and see why people wouldnt stay 4 hours...

Stupid risks make life worth living

Hmmm.....that's really shitty. I guess I need to start reading more TOS before I sign up.

They dont have to stay for 4 hours, they just have to login within 4 hours of purchasing a membership. Thats what I understood.
What sponsor is this? |

Well, the sponsor is a board sponsor so I'm not sure if I can name them.
I'm now going to check the terms of several of my other sponsors to make sure this doesn't appear elsewhere.

Sean, there's two conditions - one is they have to login within that first 4 hours, and they other is that they can't cancel in that time.
I guess my title implied they had to be logged in and looking at porn for more than 4 hours. I don't think any sponsor requires that kind of stamina LOL

I think Nasty Dollars does something like that. It's just to save the agro of crediting you for chargebacks, refunds and dodgy cards. Actually I suspect that most sponsors do it - it's just that some are upfront about it.

Damn! I know who the sponsor is! I had this problem with them and I was told I got no payout because I cancelled my test signup like 15 mins after signing up. I the fact that I didn't read the TOS!

Here are the terms that are being debated. I've hidden the programs identity with the clever use of 'GABBO'.

I can see why the sponsor would want such a condition, but as an affiliate I'd want email notifications of both sign-ups and cancellations that included the actual time of the transactions.

Wheither you think you can or you think you can't, Your right.

I would think the 4 hour thing is so webmaster scammers dont just go around signing up for trials and canceling right away, but still get paid PPS.

Btw. why do you hide that Sponsor name? Everybody can copy the TOS into google and the sponsor name shows up. |

- Because lassiter was asking if such a sponsor exists and why should I not include my referal id? If someone does not want to signup under an affiliates id he can copy the normal url out of the link. Where's the prob? |
