Thanks for the good replies!
I wanted to make sure I was on the right track before I started the drama thread...but the sponsor is Adult-Profit
1) I am new (started in late June, and all I have is a couple of blogs). I can't really explain it but I have had immediate huge success. I do know how to get traffic to blogs (Im an experienced SEO) but this is my first try at adult and I really dont understand most of the stuff you guys talk about (FHG , TGP all that). Trust me, I know how lucky I am with this, but I really cant afford a $4000 hit.
2) I have bought zero traffic. I dont email people. I don't even know how I would defraud somebody. People show up and and click on my links. I get lots of emails and comments but no one has ever bitched to me about the product or told me they were going to chargeback.
3) I dont know how many chargebacks there were, but I asked them for this info. I had about 130 signups in October.
4) Here's the section of their T&C regarding chargebacks:
Quote:
Mandatory Conversion Ratios or Chargebacks
Affiliates who have chargebacks of two (2%) percent or greater, or credit backs ("refunds") of five (5%) percent or greater may be terminated from the Program. Credit back is defined as customers who cancel their memberships and receive a credit. Chargeback is defined as a refund of payment for customers after the credit card has been processed. We reserve the right to terminate you, with payment for amounts due you prior to termination (provided you have complied with the terms of this Agreement) if your trial referrals do not convert to full membership in ratios that are acceptable to us. Similarly, we do not pass on to you the substantial cost we must incur for ?chargebacks? or ?credit backs?. We will apply, as financially necessary, an imputed deduction from commissions or referral fees due you for traffic that you send us that does not visit our site(s) after sign-up, obtains a credit or chargeback without basis, or does not subscribe to a trial membership with a good-faith intention to convert to full membership upon confirmation that the site(s) contain the represented content.

6) I suggested that they pay me in full based on the above and we stop working together. There have been a couple of little wrinkles with them, that have pissed me off before, but nothing amounting to this.
SmokeyTheBear, I don't really get it, I ask them to convert this months signups to revshare and then switch it back when it hits $1000? I'm sorry to be so dense..
Please help, I really cant afford to get stiffed...
