Commissions and Payment
Commission for Affiliates becomes due when a customer signs up for Skyla's product and services using your unique Affiliate link on a bona fide, arm's length basis and does not cancel without liability within 30 days of purchase. The percentage of the Commission and our other rewards is as notified to you by Skyla from time to time in writing.
Affiliate commissions are approved if they are considered valid in the month after the sale. Commissions are due 30 days after they are generated. Commissions are paid out as long as there are no issues with any of the customers that the Affiliate has referred. If there is any issue, we have the right to withhold the payment, run an investigation, and release the payment once we are satisfied with the investigation.
In case of a refund, the Commission will not be payable, and if already paid, it will be adjusted from the next payout. If there is no next payout within the next 30 days, then the Affiliate will be liable to pay back the Commission immediately. Failure to make payment of a Commission paid out in error will entitle us to terminate this Agreement and claim for damages.

The minimum payout of Commission is $50.
Affiliate Commission payouts are paid for 11 months when the referral is a Skyla customer.
We reserve the right to remove abandoned Affiliate accounts from our system and terminate this Agreement with immediate effect if your balance is equal to or less than the minimum payout threshold, after a 6 month period of inactivity. In this case, any accumulated Commissions below the minimum payout threshold will be forfeited.
Where you refer a customer who is a prior client of Skyla, the payout of the Commission will be subject to manual review and approval by us in our sole discretion.
We reserve the right to withhold payments to any suspicious Affiliate, request details, and/or run through due diligence to ensure the Affiliate's traffic & methods are safe for the Skyla brand.
For the avoidance of doubt, Self-referrals will not count as a qualified “referral” and therefore will not be eligible for Commission.
