Among other things, we will prepare order forms, process payments, cancellations, and returns, and handle customer service.

To permit accurate tracking, reporting, and fee accrual, you must ensure that the special links between your site and our site are properly formatted.

Referral Fees

We will pay you referral fees on certain product sales to third parties. For a product sale to generate a referral fee, the customer must: (i) follow a special link (in the format specified by Laughlin Associates) from your site to the LaughlinUSA.com, (ii) purchase one of the qualifying Laughlin Associates products using our automated ordering system, (iii) and remit full payment to us. The Program is intended for commercial use only; you may not purchase products through the Program for your own use. Such purchases may result (at our sole discretion) in the withholding of referral fees or the termination of this Agreement. Laughlin Associates reserves the right to specify and to change which products are Qualifying Products for the purposes of the Program. The current Referral Fee is set at up to a 10% of Laughlin Associate's Net Receipts.

NOTE TO NON-USA AFFILIATES: According to a new United States tax law, we must withhold 30% of referral fees to affiliates who are based outside of the United States. Those who qualify can submit a W-8ECI form to the IRS to avoid this withholding. If you have further questions, contact us at affiliates@laughlinusa.com for further information. Information from the IRS web site about this new law can be seen here.

Fee Payment

Referral fees are paid on actual leads that result in sales of products and services provided by Laughlin. We will pay you referral fees on a monthly basis. Approximately 5 days following the end of each calendar month, we will send you a check for the referral fees earned on products that were fulfilled during that month, less any taxes that we are required by law to withhold. If the customer returns a product that generated a referral fee, we will deduct the corresponding fee from your next monthly payment. If there is no subsequent payment, we will send you a bill for the fee.

Each Party shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement at any time, for any reason, and in their sole discretion.
