7. Can I refer myself and get the commission?

Affiliates of different programs often register fake IDs to buy products and “receive” a commission.
Or they come up with a variety of other ways to funnel a commission back to themselves.

Under the 5PP Affiliate Agreement, this is not allowed. Breaking this rule results in...
expulsion of the affiliate.

Amazon.com has the same rule, but for a completely different reason. If we ran a simple program like Amazon’s, we would not have this rule -- why shouldn’t you be allowed to get that “commission”?

After all, you are a customer, too.

Rationale for affiliates not being their own customers... We don’t run an ordinary program -- it’s an extraordinary one!

Unlike Amazon, being your own customer would not affect our bottom line.
The commission would simply go to you instead of to your Team leader. But that’s the problem...
It cheats your Team leader - the affiliate who “introduced” you to us.
It cheats him/her out of an honestly earned commission. And of course, if someone on your own Team does the same, it cheats you!

To avoid this, we’ll still give you a discount on prices for certain products, where margins allow.
No other customer receives this. And the commission (on the discounted price) still gets paid to the affiliate. Please be fair -- affiliates may not become their own customers.

It is grounds for immediate expulsion. There will be no exceptions -- we must rigidly enforce this to protect the integrity of the payouts.
