Our compensation program is based on a commission being
paid for verified sales coming through links placed on Partner
sites or emails or other approved methods. For a sale which
ConsciousOne makes as a result of a direct referral by an
partner, that partner will receive a base commission of
20% of the selling price of the product sold and 5% on all
reorders of that customer so long as the reorder occurs
while the partner is a current ConsciousOne partner member.
A commission fee will only be paid to a partner after the
customer has made payment in full to ConsciousOne for the
sale. Any sale returns or credits will function in the same
manner, but as a deduction to the commission due to the
partner. Top producers will be paid additional commissions
based on volume generated on a case by case basis
Second tier. Partners will receive 5% of all sales of webmasters
that you refer to the program. This will be paid out on
all first time order and also on all reorders for the life
of the customer so long as the reorder occurs while the

processing fees, returns, cancellations, charge backs and
bad debt) amount for that month. All sales are verified
and paid 30 days AFTER purchase is made. (Example: Customer

purchases a course on Oct. 20th. After 30 days elapses and
customer has not returned that course, this would be Nov.

referred visitor returns or cancels an order. If the partner

in a lesser sale amount, the earned commission will be reversed
from the partner's account. The new commission amount will

and results in a greater sale amount, the additional earned
commission will be added to the partners account.
