Product Pricing, Sales, & Compensation
Product Pricing – Product Pricing is set via the BCBD website. The Partner hereby acknowledges that the affiliate rate is available only because the Affiliate agrees to resell at a price not lower than the minimum price as set forth by Company. Failure to comply with this requirement is a material breach of this agreement.
BCBD reserves the right to make changes to product offerings at any time. Partners will be notified of decisions to alter product offerings in any way, including but not limited to inventory shortages.

Sales Tracking & Reporting – BCBD will track and report on all sales via BCBD affiliate tracking software connected to BCBD’s website. Partner sends traffic to BCBD website and BCBD converts traffic into sales. All BCBD partners will be given tracking links. A sale is constituted when traffic comes to BCBD website via the traffic link and makes a purchase. BCBD affiliate tracking software will track and attach the sale to the proper BCBD partner. BCBD partners will receive a report for any sales generated, and will receive a report with their payout. Partners with no sales will not receive a report.
Partner Compensation – Upon a partner’s acceptance into the BCBD affiliate program, each partner will be asked to provide a username and password. This username and password will grant partners access to an affiliate area where sales can be tracked. Partners will be compensated 45 days after the close of a full sales month. Payment will include all funds accrued during the closing month. Payments will be made to the partner’s selected account via PayPal.
