Affiliate Links
You will be issued a special URL once you become an approved member of the Australian Employee Manual Affiliate Program which will be unique to you and you only, and will allow you to be paid for affiliate referrals.
You may use graphic and text links both on your website and in emails. The site may also be advertised “offline” in classified ads, magazines, and newspapers. You may use the graphics and text provided to you by us, or you may create your own as long as they are deemed appropriate according to the conditions above.
Affiliate Tracking
When a web surfer clicks through your affiliate link, a cookie is set in their browser that contains your affiliate username. Also, their IP address is tracked in the database along with your affiliate name.
When this person decides to buy a product, the script will look for this cookie and/or try to match their IP address to identify the affiliate who will be awarded the commission.
Visitors sent through your affiliate link may make a purchase later in time and the commission will still be awarded if the cookie is present in their browser and/or they are using the same IP address as the one logged in the database.
Our Cookies are set for 90 days, and the last person to refer the person to our site is awarded the sale.
A referral won’t be awarded if:
- The customer uses a different browser to purchase than the one they originally used to visit our site (because the cookie does not exist in that browser).
- The customer purchases after 90 days (because the cookie will expire).
Commissions
Affiliates will receive 50% of the item sale price as a commission from orders placed through properly coded Affiliate links (unless noted otherwise for a particular product). Commissions may change at our discretion.
Our commissions may increase during limited time special promotions, but they will return thereafter to the regular 50% commission rate.
For a sale to generate a commission to an Affiliate, the customer must complete the order form and remit full payment for the product ordered through the secure order system.
Payments will only be sent for transactions that have been successfully completed. Transactions that result in chargebacks or refunds will not be paid out.
Word of mouth referrals will not result in an affiliate commission being generated.
Commissions will only be paid on sales that are made when the customer clicks through qualified, correctly structured Affiliate links. Properly coded links are the sole responsibility of the affiliate.
Payment
We pay commissions via your PayPal account, provided to us when you join. If your PayPal email changes, it is your responsibility to update your details to ensure proper commission payments. We will not resend payments returned due to incorrect PayPal email addresses.
Order Fulfilment
The Australian Employee Manual will be solely responsible for processing every order placed by a customer via affiliate links. Affiliates are not authorised to collect payments or sell any of our products from other websites as a “reseller” and no “resale” rights are granted in ANY way.

Affiliates are not authorised to give away copies of any of these products.
