4. COMPENSATION.

1. COMMISSIONS. Upon acceptance into the Partner Program, You will be assigned one or more unique Partner URLs, which You will use to advertise MotorSkillLearning. 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 MotorSkillLearning account by using Your Partner URL, the Cookie on the Prospect’s browser, corresponding to Your unique URL, registers a “Sale,” and each such account is a “Sold Account.” In the event that a Prospect has multiple Partner Cookies, the most recently-acquired Cookie will determine which Partner is credited with a Sale. You will be paid a commission for each Sold Account that generates a payment to MotorSkillLearning monthly or annually. The Commission amount is 30% of all fees received by MotorSkillLearning for a Sold Account. Commission payments will be made to You on or before sixty (60) days following MotorSkillLearning’ receipt of payment for a Sold Account, subject to the other terms set forth herein.
2. BONUSES. For each level that a partner obtains, MotorSkillLearning may, in its sole discretion, also reward you based on status. The actual bonuses awarded, and the value thereof, shall change from time to time as MotorSkillLearning may choose in its sole discretion. In this regard, MotorSkillLearning shall also have the right to take away any bonus or reward at any time, for any reason, or to terminate the bonus program in its entirety. Any such change shall not affect your entitlement to Commissions already earned.
3. MINIMUM COMMISSION AND BONUS PAYMENT. Your combined commission and bonus amount must equal or exceed one hundred ($100) before You receive a payment from MotorSkillLearning. If Your combined commissions and bonuses for a given month are less than $100, Your commissions and bonuses will be held until Your combined commissions and bonuses equals or exceeds $100.
4. COMMISSION AND BONUSES PAID FOLLOWING LEGITIMATE SALE. Commissions and Bonuses are paid only for transactions that actually occur between MotorSkillLearning and a Sale. If the transaction does not actually occur, or if payment from a Sale is not actually received by MotorSkillLearning, You will not be paid a Commission or Bonus on the transaction. If payment for a Sold Account later results in a refund or charge-back, and if a commission or bonus was paid to You for that Sold Account payment, then the commission or bonus will be deducted from Your future commissions. If MotorSkillLearning determines, in its reasonable discretion, that any Sale was procured fraudulently or as a result of any violation of this Agreement, no Commission or Bonus will be paid for such Sale. If any Commissions or Bonuses are paid for a Sale that was produced fraudulently or as a result of any violation of this Agreement, and the fraud or violation is discovered by MotorSkillLearning after payment, such payment amounts shall be deducted from Your future commissions and bonuses.
5. TAXES. You hereby warrant to Company that You are engaged in an independent business enterprise, and that You have complied with all business requirements necessary to operate Contractor’s business, if any, such as licensing, tax and other business operation requirements. You shall be solely and entirely responsible for Your own acts and omissions relative to the performance of services under this Agreement, and You shall determine the manner and method of performing such services, and shall set Your own hours in which to perform and complete such services. The parties hereto understand and agree that You are free to perform work in any capacity for other clients of You in Your sole discretion as You see fit, except as may otherwise be prohibited by the non-solicitation and/or confidentiality provisions set forth below.
6. Before You can be paid any Commission or Bonuses, You must provide MotorSkillLearning a completed W-8 or W-9, as instructed by MotorSkillLearning. You will be deemed to have permanently waived all rights to Commissions or Bonuses that were earned more than one hundred and twenty (120) days prior to MotorSkillLearning’s receipt of a properly completed W-8 or W-9. 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 MotorSkillLearning. If You are not a resident of the United States, MotorSkillLearning may withhold tax (including without limitation VAT) where required to by applicable law. Where MotorSkillLearning is required to withhold tax, MotorSkillLearning will document such withholding.

5. MARKETING AND RECRUITING.

1. TRUTHFUL. Anything You communicate in marketing or advertising any MotorSkillLearning service or opportunity must be true and accurate.
