4. Referral Fees/Commissions and Payment

For a Product sale to be eligible to earn a referral fee, the customer must click through a Special Link from your site, email, or other communications to PhymatLife.com and complete an order for a product during that session. There is a 30-day cookie tracking period, during which you can earn commissions if your referral makes a purchase.

We will only pay commissions on links that are automatically tracked and reported by our systems. We will NOT pay commissions if someone says they purchased or someone says they entered a referral code if it was NOT tracked by our system. We ONLY pay commissions on businesses generated through properly formatted special links that were automatically tracked by our systems.

We reserve the right to disqualify commissions earned through fraudulent, illegal, or overly aggressive, questionable sales or marketing methods.

Payments only begin once you’ve earned more than $200 in commission. If your current partnership earnings are over $200 your commission will be paid out at the beginning of each month for orders that are over 60 days old. If your account never crosses the $200 threshold, your commissions will not be released or paid. In order to get paid, all US-based accounts are required to have a W-9 form on file.
