-
If Affiliate has an outstanding balance due to Mars4 under this Agreement or any other agreement between Affiliate and Mars4, whether or not related to the Affiliate Program, Affiliate agrees that Mars4may offset any such amounts due to Mars4 from amounts payable to Affiliate under this Agreement.
-
We will provide you with the Commission statement due in your Affiliate Area at the start of a new month.
