Important Points in this Agreement:

In the event that there are one or more possible FirstCorr Partners / Affiliates who MAY have referred one particular order, the LAST IN TIME Affiliate’s Link will control and determine the Affiliate eligible to collect the Commission tied to that order.
Commissions are NEVER Split between FirstCorr Partners / Affiliates
We may email You concerning FirstCorr Partner Programs and administrative or billing matters.

We might change the service here and there, now and later. Any changes to this program will be posted via html page at firstcorr.com, and/or other Web Properties owned and operated by FirstCorr, Incorporated.

 

Adult sites, Hate sites, or any other related sites or social media pages/channels that are deemed inappropriate by FirstCorr are not allowed.

Affiliate accounts that are left inactive will be removed from our system if their balance is equal to or less than $50. An account is considered “Inactive” where no user has logged in to the account for 6 months AND no transactions have posted to that account in the past 6 months.
NOT ALLOWED: All other uses of Banners or Links, such as newsgroups, chat rooms, ICQ, message boards, banner networks, hit farms, counters, or guestbooks, etc. are NOT allowed.

Failure to abide by these rules could mean termination from a given program, or from FirstCorr completely along with a complete forfeit of Commissions.

 

Fraud

Fraud is defined as any action that intentionally attempts to create sales, leads, or click-through using robots, frames, iframes, scripts, or manually "refreshing" of pages, for the sole purpose of creating commissions.
