6.1. Qualified Referral
A referral will be a “Qualified Referral” and included in this Affiliate Program provided that:
(a) a Customer click-through of the Special Link is received, registered and recorded with the Company (Special Link tracking is registered through cookies in accordance with clause 6.2);
(b) the Customer then purchases a Product (having that purchase recorded through the cookie session) following the prompts on the Company Website and completing the order (including payment);
(c) the Customer does not use any other referral or tracking link between the time when the Customer clicks the Special Link, creates an Account or logs in to the Account and makes payment for the Product; and
(d) it is not a Disqualified Referral.
The Company may, in its absolute discretion waive any of the above requirements, for a referral to be a “Qualified Referral”.
6.2. Cookies and session tracking
Special Link tracking will apply based on cookie session tracking, the length and duration of which will be as determined and varied by the Company from time to time at its discretion. In the event that the click-through does not occur or is unable to be registered during the cookie session then tracking will not be registered. This includes without limitation if the Customer clears their cache or cookies, the Customer has cookies disabled in their browser, the cookie expires, the Customer creates a new Account, or the Customer uses a different device (where the cookie is not stored). The Company is not responsible for ensuring that the Customer follows any click-through instructions.
Where multiple affiliates have referred a Customer, the referral will be counted towards whoever the Customer is associated with on the first recorded click-through registered with the Company (except in circumstances where the cookie has expired for the first recorded click-through). For the avoidance of doubt, there is not split commissions.

The Company may active the Indirect Referral program in its discretion, and is not obliged to do so. Unless the Company expressly notifies the Affiliate that they are eligible for Indirect Referrals, the Affiliate will not earn any Affiliate Commissions in respect of any Indirect Referrals.

(c) that third party has been approved by the Company as a Sub-Affiliate.
7.3. Sub-Affiliates must be a third party unrelated to the Affiliate.

8.3. The Company reserves the right to vary the Affiliate Commission rates at any time, on giving 30 days’ written notice to the Affiliate. Variations will be effective at the expiry of the notice period and will be published on the Affiliate Portal.
8.4. The Company is only liable to pay the Affiliate Commission on the expiry of the relevant Product Guarantee Period for the Product (the subject of the relevant Qualified Referral). For the avoidance of doubt, in the event the Customer returns a Product during the Product Guarantee Period, then the Affiliate will not be entitled to the Affiliate Commission in respect of that Product. Each Product may carry a different Product Guarantee Period, which will be as published on the Affiliate Portal from time to time.
8.5. Within 5 business days of the end of each month during the Term, the Company will provide the Affiliate with a report setting out (in respect of that previous calendar month):

8.6. On the date of generation of the report referred to in clause 8.5, the Company will provide the Affiliate with a Recipient Created Tax Invoice (RCTI), except where the Affiliate indicated that it is not registered for GST.
