TAME-THE-NET Revenue Sharing Rebates Program:
Rebates are paid to VIP members for viewing other members or advertisers websites.
The innovative revenue sharing rebate program is an incentive based model. A VIP member can receive UP TO 125% of their advertising costs in rebates, see REBATE ELIGIBILITY for requirements . All purchasers of ad packs fully acknowledge that they are strictly buying advertising without any guarantee of rebates. The rebate program is solely based on advertising revenues received on a daily basis. Past rebates or revenues of the company can change or diminish just like any other business entity. The 125% number is simply a cap and not a guarantee of any kind of return of advertising dollars whatsoever. An upgraded member must have an active ad package and a website in rotation in order to earn rebates.
Sometime between 12:01 am and 9:00 am Eastern Standard Time (EST), we total the amount of revenue generated from sales by TAME-THE-NET.COM and include any income generated from outside sources from the previous day.
We multiply the total of all these sales by 50%. We then divide this total by the total number of outstanding ad packages eligible to receive a rebate. This determines the amount of rebate to be paid per ad package. That amount will be multiplied by the number of ad packages in each eligible VIP member's account and the total will be credited to his/her's cash account balance on a daily basis. Rebates will show up in VIP member’s accounts after midnight EST. If you miss a day of viewing the required number of web sites, you do not earn any rebates for that day only.
VIP members will be paid revenue sharing rebates UNTIL they receive 125% of their ad purchases.
To maintain the stability of the program the daily rebate will be capped at 7%.
Five (5) percent will be used for payment processor fees.
Fifteen (15) percent will be used for referral commissions, any unused commissions may be used at the sole discretion of TAME-THE-NET.
Twenty (20) percent will be paid to generate outside income sources.
Ten (10) percent will be used for administrative costs, customer support, hosting, site maintenance, advertising and profit.
