Checks and Payments:
How much money do I have to earn before I am eligible to receive a check?
All affiliates must meet a threshold requirement minimum worth of commissions
in order to receive a check. This minimum has been set at $50. If you do not
meet the threshold, your profit for that month will simply roll over to your next
month's earnings. Ultimately, you'll get paid for all your work.
back to top
When will I get paid?
We will cut checks and mail them directly to you on approximately the 5th of
the month. We pay every thirty days; however, we delay commission payments for
30 days to prevent fraud and to give ample time for chargebacks or refunds. You
are compensated on net sales for the period. For example, if you earn a
commission in January, you will be paid your full commission, less chargebacks
and/or refunds, on March 5th.

this ID to tell us where a referral has come from in order to credit that
account ID accordingly. If you do not use the complete linking URLs provided in
your account, there is no way to accurately credit your account and you will
not be paid for that portion of your traffic. PLEASE USE THE CONVENIENT
TRACKING URL'S PROVIDED.

Spam:
What forms of promotion can I use?
The majority of our affiliates promote CuriousLove.com by placing our banners on
their sites, but you may also join chat rooms, online clubs, etc. We strongly
encourage you to remember chat room rules - it is better to simply talk about
the benefits of meeting people on our site instead of just posting a URL.
back to top
I just logged into my account and it was suspended. Why?
CuriousLove.com does not condone cheating or spamming of any nature. Any accounts
suspected of cheating or reported for spamming are immediately suspended and
all payment voided. Extreme steps must be taken to protect our company and
legitimate affiliates. Typical affiliate causes include:
People emailing us that your affiliate ID was used in spamming activities.
Creation of fake accounts.
High chargeback rates (3% or greater).
Other inappropriate actions.

What is considered spam?
Spam is considered to be any attempt to deliver unsolicited bulk mail over the
Internet. Almost all spam is commercial advertising. Potential target lists are
created by scanning Usenet postings, stealing Internet mailing lists, or
searching the Web for addresses. Such information is gathered with automated
searches to retrieve email addresses for spamming. We also require that
affiliates sending to "opt-in" email lists include a written
statement in each message explaining how a recipient can remove themselves from
the list, or provide a link to "unsubscribe". If we receive
complaints from recipients who claim they are still receiving the affiliate
email messages after they have followed the unsubscribe procedure or link, we
may consider that to be a violation of our spam policy.
