Accounting Policy of SOSComplete!
Payment Term and Pay Period End Time
Accounts will receive payment via AlertPay (Worldwide) or Direct Deposit (USA and Canada). We choose to pay via AlertPay due to the fact that it operates in 190+ countries and 21 currencies worldwide. You can sign up for an AlertPay account for free here. You will receive payment once per week ("Net 7 Days" hereinafter referred to as the "Payment Term"). Pay Periods end at 12:00 a.m., Eastern Time, every Monday.
Payment of "10 For 10 Program" Bonuses
Bonuses under the "10 For 10 Program" will be paid in the third (3rd) month following the month in which they were earned. For example, if a bonus was earned by an Affiliate under the "10 For 10 Program" for the month of May, the bonus will be paid out in August of that year. This allows returned and revoked sales from the subject month, (in this examply May) to accurately be factored in when determining Affiliate qualification under the "10 For 10 Program", as well as company-wide profits.
Payment Distribution
Weekly payments are always sent on the Monday, two weeks after the end of the corresponding period. For example, if your Pay Period ends on a Monday which falls on the 7th day of the month, your payment for that period will be distributed to you on the Monday which falls on the 21st day of that month. Remember, there is a 10% "Return Allowance" (see below), which will be held from each payment for a period of 12 weeks.
AlertPay Payment (Worldwide)
Please note that in order to receive payment via AlertPay, you will first need an AlertPay Account. If you do not have an AlertPay Account, you can easily create one at www.alertpay.com. The maximum AlertPay payment which can be sent to you in one transaction is $49,999 USD. Payments via AlertPay should show up in your AlertPay account on the same day which they were sent. You will be responsible for any fee which AlertPay charges to your account.

The lowest price SOSComplete! will sell a one-time payment product for is $3.99. The lowest price which SOSComplete! will sell a recurring billing product for is also $3.99 for initial purchases, and $6.99 for rebills.
When an Advertiser submits a Digital Product for addition to our network, SOSComplete! defines the maximum retail price for the Digital Product, taking the recommended retail price into consideration.
At the time a Buyer purchases a Digital Product which an Advertiser has added to our network, the Digital Product is first purchased from Advertiser by SOSComplete! at the wholesale price, then resold to Buyer by SOSComplete! at the retail price.
The wholesale price which SOSComplete! pays to Advertisers for a one-time payment product and initial purchases of recurring billing products is 92.5% of the retail price, less $1.00 USD. Further, SOSComplete! purchases the rebill of a subscription item from the Advertiser at 91% of the retail price.
