Commission Rate

Here's how the Gecko Software Commission Scale works for orders you generate during each month. Please review the details below to help you completely understand how the final commission totals are calculated.

• Affiliate Commission Checks are cut and mailed during the first week of every month. (All commissions are held for a minimum period of 30 days after the sale before commissions are paid, this is to accommodate any possible customer returns.)
• Commission Scale is based on the current selling price of Gecko Software Products and the type of commission scale that you fall under as outlined below.
• Affiliate Commission Scale: When you place a link on your website to direct people to purchase or trial Gecko Software Products.
• 10% = A Gecko Software sales rep makes a sale to your lead.
• If someone clicks on a Track 'n Trade link or banners from your webpage, email or promotion, they then contact or purchases the software directly from a Gecko Software inside sales representative, anytime over the next two months after clicking, you receive a 10% commission.
• 20%= The sale is made with no intervention from a Gecko Software sales rep.
• If someone clicks on a Track 'n Trade link or banner from your webpage, email or promotion, they then make a purchase directly over the Internet, anytime over the next two months after clicking, and no Gecko Sales rep is needed to help make the sale, you receive 20% commission. (The more you do on your end, the more you get paid.)

When you pre-purchase, inventory and ship the Gecko Software products for resale through your own website or store, the following wholesale discounts are available on all Track 'n Trade products. (These discounts are taken off the suggested retail price.)

• 30%= You purchase and inventory a minimum of 5-24 of each item.
• 40% = You purchase and inventory a minimum of 25-49 of each item.
• 50% = You purchase and inventory 50+ of each item.

VAR Requirements:

1. You must pre-order and maintain inventory of Track 'n Trade products.
2. You are responsible for processing and shipping all orders for you customers.
3. You are responsible for providing Gecko Software the contact information for each new client, to ensure proper software registration, which allows the software to function properly.

FAQs:

How do I receive my commissions?

• As a VAR, you pay the discounted rate for your inventory at the time of purchase; then, when you sell the product, you charge the full value to your customer.
  • For Example: If you purchase five copies of Track 'n Trade Pro you would pay $137.90 per copy with your 30% discount. You then sell the product at the retail price of $197.00, your profit or "commission" would then be $59.10 per copy.
  • See an example below.  (Compare this to the standard Affiliate Commission Scale.)

Sample Order Potential - 30% Discount

If you were to purchase 5 copies of Track 'n Trade, for inventory, then you sold one copy per day the following would be an example of the profit potential for one month:

Sample Report
Qty	Product	Price	Total
30	Track 'n Trade Pro purchased @ $137.90 (purchase 5 at a time)	$4,137.00
30	Track 'n Trade Pro sold @ $197.00	Total Profits:	$1,773.00

Sample Report
Qty	Product	Price	Total
50	Track 'n Trade Pro purchased @ $98.50 (purchase 50 at a time)	$4,925.00
50	Track 'n Trade Pro sold @ $197.00	Total Profits:	$4,925.00

Are there any price requirements that I must sell products for?

• You can choose to have Gecko Software drop-ship this item to your customer, but your commission would then fall under the 20% Affiliate Commission structure for the product that was drop-shipped.

What if I have an order for an item I don't have in stock?

• Option 1: It is recommended that you sell the software for the manufacturers suggested retail price, but with the VAR program, our intentions are that you "bundle" the software with one of your own products or services, therefore eliminating a "retail" price war; thus the term "Value Added" Reseller.
• Option 2: You can place a VAR order for a minimum of quantity five for that product ordered.

As a VAR, how do commission on Data Subscription Services work?

• Data is handled under the "Affiliate Program Rules," and is not a VAR discountable service.
• There are no discounts available to end user clients for data services, therefore it is a requirement that all VAR's sell the data service for full retail value as priced on Gecko Software's own website.
• Example 1: A VAR client purchases an annual data subscription service for $199 directly from Gecko Software, the VAR would then receive a 20% commission of the entire annual data subscription amount. (In this example, that would be $39.80 ea.)
• A client purchases a monthly data subscription service for $19.95, the VAR would receive a 20% commission of the "initial" order of $19.9-+5.  (In this example, that would be $3.99)  No further commissions follow. (This encourages VAR's to bundle/promote the annual data subscription services.)
