Liability 
State-Of-The-Art Mailer System is a promotional marketing tool used to help members promote all of their offers on the Internet. State-Of-The-Art Mailer System does not make any promises written or implied as to the amount of money that can be made from State-Of-The-Art Mailer System.

It is your responsibility to make sure your email address for your payment processor is correct. Commission payments made to the wrong account because of an incorrectly entered id is your responsibility. Should your account at your payment processor be locked or restricted for any reason, that is also your responsibility. State-Of-The-Art Mailer System will not be held liable.

Policies 
All policies, rules and regulations are the final decision of State-Of-The-Art Mailer System.  We reserve the right to modify, add or change any policies as we deem necessary at any time. All members agree that they will not hold State-Of-The-Art Mailer System liable for any items or policies within this program.

Commissions 
You agree to receive any earned commissions through our payment processors only. Commissions are paid on qualified direct referral transactions exceeding the 30 day refund policy period. State-Of-The-Art-Mailer System is not responsible for payment processor email entry errors and you forfeit any undeliverable transactions without exception. State-Of-The-Art-Mailer is also not responsible for any fraud committed by a third party that has obtained your password or entered a payment processor that is not yours. There is a $1 minimum payout amount. Commissions will be paid on the first Friday after 31 days of the transcation date.

Dormant Account Commission Forfeiture:  
Any unpaid commissions are subject to forfeiture if an account has not been logged into for over 1 year and does not have a payment processor email entered. Additionally, any account that has not been logged into for over 1 year will be considered a dormant account that is no longer eligible for commissions. A registered login will automatically reinstate accounts as "commission eligible." However, that eligibility only applies to commissions earned after reinstatement and not prior. State-Of-The-Art Mailer System purges all financial transactions after 1 year which cannot be retrieved. It is solely the responsibility of the member to make sure they have entered a valid payment processor email address for commission payments.

Unclaimed/Denied/Returned Payment Processor Funds 
Any denied or returned payment processor funds are immediately forfeited. Any unclaimed funds without a payment processor email entered are subject to the dormant account fee specified above. All affected transactions dates will begin from the date the funds were sent.

Refunds 
There is a 30 day pro-rated refund policy. An example of this would be: The dollar amount divided by the purchase period of time. (i.e. Assume a 30 day monthly period, with a fee of $30... If an individual requests a refund at 20 days, the total amount of their refund would be $10.) There are NO refunds after the 30 day period. There are no refunds on Bitcoin payment processor transactions.
