Earnings Disclaimer

Nothing on our Sites or in our Products is a promise or guarantee of earnings, revenue, income, or profit. Your success is dependent upon a number of factors including your network and level of effort .

Commissions

You will have your own affiliate dashboard where you can track your commissions. As an Affiliate Partner, you will receive 25% of every Birth Bundle, and 10% of every DFB Professional Training Registration Fee, that is directly referred by you through your Affiliate Partner unique links (or cookies, if cookies were consented to). When consented to, cookies are tracked for 90 days. This means a referral can be tracked to you even if a person doesn’t buy right away. Certain trainings are ineligible for affiliate commissions because they are not produced by DFB™.  For a list of these, email [email protected] with your request. The Company sets no limit on how much you can earn as an affiliate.

Commissions are not paid on, and will not include, a sale to Affiliate Partner himself or herself; meaning Affiliate Partner cannot purchase the Product and receive a commission on that sale. Affiliate Partner commissions for training registrations are calculated after the registrant has attended the training, at the sole discretion and decision of the Company.

Commission payments will be sent to Affiliate Partner by Pay Pal after the training finish date. For the Birth Bundle, payments will be sent quarterly. If a sale is canceled or refunded for any reason, no commission will be paid. Affiliate Partners will not be paid a commission on registrations that are in delinquent status. Affiliate Partner commissions will not be paid based on any sales or amounts that are attributed to spam, or credit card fraud. Company reserves the right to change the dates of the commission payout at any time.

Affiliate Partners must provide his or her PayPal address and complete the W-9 and any tax information sent to them by the Company before receiving any commission payments. Company is not responsible for Affiliate Partner using or maintaining his or her Affiliate Partner links, and only sales tracked through Company’s affiliate program system will count towards Affiliate Partner’s commissions. All sales and commission numbers are tallied by the Company. All the final sales and commission numbers are at the sole discretion of the Company. Company makes every reasonable effort to accurately track and pay commissions for all sales that come from Affiliate Partners, but is not responsible, nor under any circumstances will be held liable for, any technical difficulties, outside events, actions by other affiliate partners, or other uncontrollable events that may disrupt or interfere with Company’s ability to track sales or pay commissions.
