7. PAYMENT TERMS.
7.1 Payments and Commissions
Payments to AFFILIATE are called (“Commissions”). Completed Orders and Purchase Agreements generate an (“Invoice”) to the Client where Client pays from the Invoice.

Any setup fees, non-recurring fees, or shipping fees are not subject to commissions.
GZ will pay an AFFILIATE a recurring, percentage-based commission for each paid Invoice by Client, excluding any setup or one-time fees. The commission amount will be shown in the Partner Portal.
Commission shall be paid when requested by AFFILIATE through the Portal by GZ through check or other electronic means supported by GZ. If a due commission does not exceed $50 US, GZ reserves the right to hold payment until Commissions accumulate to the minimum amount. If a Client cancels service and a refund or credit is given, any related Commission will be deducted from the next commission payment. AFFILIATE is NOT employees of GZ and are responsible for their own local, state, or country taxes. All Commissions shall be paid in US Dollars.
7.2 Exceptions. No Commissions shall be paid (a) if AFFILIATE provides to GZ any incorrect or misleading information about the Lead or Order (b) for any Lead that is a then-current Client or was previously a Client of GZ or its affiliates, distributors, or partners, (c) for any Lead with whom GZ or its affiliates, distributors, or partners had substantive contact prior to AFFILIATE’s submission of a Referral or Order Form for such Lead, (d) if a Lead does not execute a Purchase Agreement with GZ for the provision of Products within six (6) months after GZ’s receipt of a Referral Form pertaining to such Lead, or (e) for the provision of any services or products other than the authorized Products.
7.3 Payment upon Termination. Subject to this Section 7.0, following termination of this Agreement, GZ shall pay AFFILIATE the Commissions for any Invoices paid by Client on or before the effective date of termination. Except as provided in this Section 7.3, GZ shall have no obligation to pay Commissions to AFFILIATE after the effective date of termination.
7.4 Expenses. AFFILIATE shall be responsible for all expenses incurred by it in connection with the implementation and performance of its duties and obligations under this Agreement, including, but not limited to: expenses incurred in fulfilling its duties and responsibilities as provided in Section 4.0; compensation, bonuses, and benefits, if any, for its personnel; costs and expenses associated with establishing and maintaining its sales organization and offices; advertising, Product demonstration, and promotion expenses; and any and all taxes, fees, duties, tariffs, or charges which may be imposed on AFFILIATE under applicable law.
7.6 Multiple Referrals. In the event that two or more Partners of GZ, for any reason whatsoever, claim a Commission for the same Client, GZ reserves the right to award the Referral Fee to one of the representatives or to divide the Referral Fee among the representatives in such proportions as GZ shall determine to be equitable, and its decision to do so and the manner in which it does shall be final and binding on all parties involved. In no case shall the total amount of Commissions paid with regard to any such Lead exceed the maximum Commission that could be earned if only one representative were responsible for the Order.
