I would really like to hear the thoughts of other affiliates regarding recent changes to the VS Terms of Service of their "revshare" plan, and wonder how many even realize they have been made or the implications thereof.
Specifically this section:
6.10 Inactive Referred Customers. Your right to receive, and Company's obligation to pay to You, a commission in association with a standard commission program, or any other of the Company's Programs, shall not apply to any purchases made by any referred customer after the customer has become an "Inactive Referred Customer". For the purposes of this Agreement, an "Inactive Referred Customer" is any customer referred by You that has not made any new purchase of a service or product from the Company for a period of one hundred fifty (150) consecutive days or longer. You acknowledge and agree that Company shall have no obligation to commence paying or to continue to pay to You, any commission or other compensation of any kind for any Referral made by You where such Referral pertains to a customer has become an Inactive Referred Customer. Once a referred customer has become an Inactive Referred Customer, no commissions shall be paid to You for, or based on, any purchases made by such Inactive Referred Customer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, You may re-refer a customer that has become an Inactive Referred Customer and qualify to receive commission payments as set forth in this Agreement with respect to such new Referral provided that the subject customer has not become the Referral of another affiliate or has made a purchase in response to the Company's own advertising while such customer was an Inactive Referred Customer.
My interpretation of this wording: If you refer a customer and they take an extended break for any reason whatsoever - illness, vacation, financial reasons - you lose them, automatically. "Lifetime" now = 5 months.
