Payment

You must create a password so that you may enter the Post Affiliate Pro secure affiliate account interface. From their site, you will be able to receive reports that describe our calculation of the commission due to you.

FishingBooker uses Paypal, Inc. for payment processing services. By using Paypal payment processing services, Affiliates agree to the Paypal User Agreement, available at https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/ua/useragreement-full. FishingBooker reserves the right to choose a different type of payment method other than the aforementioned if, in good faith, it determines that a different type of payment method is more adequate.

Payments can only be made if correct payment information is provided by the Affiliate, and FishingBooker will not be liable for any late or incomplete payments caused by the Affiliate not providing correct payment information and documentation. The Affiliate has to provide FishingBooker with either W9, W8BEN, or W8-BEN-E forms, depending on their legal form and tax residency, in order to receive payouts from Fishing Booker. The required form will be provided to the Affiliate by a FishingBooker representative alongiside submission information, and the Affiliate needs to submit the completed form before receiving their first Payout, and must resubmit the form in the event that they change their residency or legal form.

Payment information must be submitted in the form of an invoice to [email protected] with all necessary business information, data concerning approved trips, and information on the Affiliate's commission. Please reach out to [email protected] if you are unsure of any payment information before submitting an invoice to [email protected]. Please make sure that all amounts are expressed in USD. Paypal may charge additional fees when processing payments and payouts, and FishingBooker is not responsible for any such fees, and disclaims all liability in this regard. Affiliates are fully responsible for the payment of any fees or additional charges imposed by the payment processor.

The Affiliate payment scale is set every quarter and the count of approved bookings resets at the beginning of the next quarter. Quarters are defined as four per year, each lasting three months, from the beginning of the calendar year. The commission scale for Affiliates is as follows:

  • 1-10 approved bookings = 20% of FB commission, per booking
  • 11-20 approved bookings = 25% of FB commission, per booking
  • 21-50 approved bookings = 40% of FB commission, per booking
  • 51+ approved bookings = 50% of FB commission, per booking

Affiliate's commission calculation is calculated based on approved bookings and the above scale The calculation is done on a monthly basis, on the last calendar day of a month for that month. Only approved bookings that were realized (and labeled as approved via the Post Affiliate Pro platform) during that calculation period will be calculated in the commission.

A booking is labeled as approved after a FishingBooker representative confirms that the booking was realized. All bookings that were canceled or for any other reason not realized will be labeled in the Post Affiliate Pro platform as declined, and will not be eligible for the commission calculation.

Payments to Affiliates from FishingBooker are made once a month, every first week of the month for the previous month, and once an Affiliate has earned an amount in commission equal to or more than $100 (one hundred US dollars). While this is standard practice, FishingBooker reserves the right to make payments even if the sum earned by the Affiliate is less than $100, at our sole discretion.

In the event that the Affiliate's calculated commission per one quarter amounts to less than $100 and they are, therefore, not eligible for a payout in the quarter where the Affiliate's commission was calculated, the earned commission will be paid out in the next quarter when the Affiliate meets the above-mentioned payout criteria.

The total number of approved bookings is calculated per quarter, and the number of approved bookings will not be transferred to the next quarter in the event that the Affiliate was not eligible for a payout in the quarter when the bookings were realized.

In the event that an Affiliate has earned a commission amounting to less than $100 during one calendar year, FishingBooker will pay the earned amount at the end of the calendar year to the Affiliate.

Affiliate commissions are not paid on bookings that were declined via the Post Affiliate Pro platform.

A booking is labeled as declined via Post Affiliate Pro after a FishingBooker representative confirms that a booking was canceled (by either party), refunded, duplicated, or for a transaction that resulted in a charge back due to a shortened trip or in a case where the trip didn't happen at all.

In the event of an operational error that leads to the Affiliate being overpaid (e.g. due to a FishingBooker's representative's mistake or previously-approved booking being canceled after the calculation period), FishingBooker reserves the right to charge the Affiliate for the overpaid amount or to reduce that amount from the next payout to the Affiliate.

FishingBooker reserves the right to withhold Affiliate commissions for any legitimate reason including but not limited to fraudulent behavior and not respecting the terms of this agreement. You are solely responsible for any taxes that may be due in connection with your participation in FishingBooker's Affiliate Programme.

Sub-Affiliates

FishingBooker may at its sole discretion accept or decline any person referred by an Affiliate to become a Sub-Affiliate under the Affiliate Program.

“Sub-Affiliate” means an Affiliate referred to the Post Affiliate Pro Platform by another registered Affiliate via a tracking link.
In order to become Sub-Affiliate, the Sub-Affiliate must be registered on the Post Affiliate Pro Platform using the referral tracking link provided by a registered Affiliate.

Affiliates are solely responsible for the registration of their Sub-Affiliate on the Post Affiliate Pro Platform. In the event that registration steps are not completed correctly, the Sub-Affiliate may not be linked to the Affiliate.

In the event that a trip is booked by a customer referred by a Sub-Affiliate, the Sub-Affiliates commission will be calculated in accordance with the Terms set in the Payment Section of this Agreement. The commission of Sub-Affiliates is calculated in the same manner as the commission of the Affiliate.
An Affiliate will generate a fixed commission of up to 5% of FishingBooker's commission (or more as determined by FishingBooker on a case-by-case basis), for each approved trip of its Sub-Affiliate.

If a Sub-Affiliate referred to FishingBooker by an Affiliate is found to have engaged in or been involved with fraud, spam, or is found to have breached any of the Terms and Conditions of the Agreement, FishingBooker may at its sole discretion, withhold all Sub-Affiliate commission payments relating to that Sub-Affiliate, and/or terminate the Sub-Affiliate Account in question.

FishingBooker holds no responsibility for any direct negotiations including disputes that happen between an existing Affiliate and their Sub-Affiliate.

FishingBooker may at any time at its sole discretion, terminate the Sub-Affiliate program.
