Or - RockGrowth.com or its successors or assigns, in its sole and absolute discretion, cancels Your Referral Partner Agreement.

4. Compensation
- COMMISSIONS. After You click “I Agree” to the terms of this Agreement, You will receive a unique Referral Partner ID attached to URLs on the RockGrowth.com website, which You will use to promote RockGrowth.com. When another person (a “Prospect”) clicks through that URL, a cookie (or similar tracking technology (hereinafter “Cookie”)) will be set in the Prospect’s browser. When the Prospect creates a RockGrowth.com account by using Your Referral Partner Link, the Cookie on the Prospect’s browser, corresponding to Your unique URL, registers a “Referral,” and each such account is a “Collected Referral.” When Collected Referral purchases product(s) owned by RockGrowth.com in the future, that registers a “Sale,” and each such account is a “Sold Account.” In the event that a Prospect has multiple Referral Partner Cookies, the most recently-acquired Cookie will determine which Referral Partner is credited with a Collected Referral and Sale. You will be paid a commission for each Sold Account that generates a minimum payment of $100.00 to RockGrowth.com in a month. The Commission amount for Sold Account is agreed as per product and/or per Referral Partner basis. Commission payments will be made to You on or before forty-five (45) days following RockGrowth.com’s receipt of payment for a Sold Account, subject to the other terms set forth herein.
- TAXES. Before You can be paid any Commission or Bonuses, You must provide RockGrowth.com’s a completed W-8 or W-9, as instructed by RockGrowth.com. You will be deemed to have permanently waived all rights to Commissions or Bonuses that were earned more than 120 days before submitting a completed W-8 or W-9 to RockGrowth.com. You are responsible for any and all tax liabilities, including without limitation income tax liabilities that arise from or in any way relate to any commissions or bonuses You receive from RockGrowth.com. If You are not a resident of Slovenija, RockGrowth.com may withhold tax (including without limitation VAT) where required to by applicable law. Where RockGrowth.com is required to withhold tax, RockGrowth.com will document such withholding.
- MINIMUM COMMISSION AND BONUS PAYMENT. Your combined commission and bonus amount must equal or exceed One Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($100.00) before You receive a payment from RockGrowth.com. If Your combined commissions and bonuses for a given month are less than $100.00, Your commissions and bonuses will be held until Your combined commissions and bonuses equals or exceeds $100.00.
- COMMISSION AND BONUSES PAID FOLLOWING LEGITIMATE SALE. Commissions and Bonuses are paid only for transactions that actually occur between RockGrowth.com and a Sale or a Legacy Sale. If the transaction does not actually occur, or if payment from a Sale or Legacy Sale is not actually received by RockGrowth.com, You will not be paid a Commission or Bonus on the transaction. If payment for a Sold Account or a Legacy Account later results in a refund or chargeback, and if a commission or bonus was paid to You for that Sold Account or Legacy Account payment, then the commission or bonus will be deducted from Your future commissions. If RockGrowth.com determines, in its reasonable discretion, that any Sale or Legacy Sale was procured fraudulently or as a result of any violation of this Agreement, no Commission or Bonus will be paid for such Sale or Legacy Sale. If any Commissions or Bonuses are paid for a Sale or Legacy Sale that was produced fraudulently or as a result of any violation of this Agreement, and the fraud or violation is discovered by RockGrowth.com after payment, such payment amounts shall be deducted from Your future commissions and bonuses.
