3. Programs unaware of "leaks" in their tours / systems that lead to a join which don't get attributed to an affiliate signup.

Basically, there's so many factors into what could be considered a "shave" on the sponsor end that aren't the cause of the payment processor. I can imagine how nuts it must be to run a sponsor programs. Fucking insane and I salute those who try and do it amiably.
