4. COMPENSATION.
A. COMMISSIONS. After You click “I Agree” to the terms of this Agreement, You will receive a unique Affiliate URL, which You will use to advertise ClickFunnels. When another person (a “Prospect”) clicks through that URL, a cookie (or similar tracking technology (hereinafter “Cookie”)) will be set in the Prospect’s browser. When the Prospect creates a ClickFunnels account by using Your Affiliate Link, the Cookie on the Prospect’s browser, corresponding to Your unique URL, registers a “Sale,” and each such account is a “Sold Account.” In the event that a Prospect has multiple Affiliate Cookies, the most recently-acquired Cookie will determine which Affiliate is credited with a Sale. You will be paid a commission for each Sold Account that generates a minimum payment of $97.00 to ClickFunnels in a month. The Commission amount is 40% of all fees received by ClickFunnels for a Sold Account. Commission payments will be made to You on or before forty-five (45) days following ClickFunnels’ receipt of payment for a Sold Account, subject to the other terms set forth herein.
