Advisor Payout

Direct Deposits take place from the 25th to the 27th of the month payable for the preceding month's activity. A reserve in the amount of 10% of each calendar month's gross revenue may be held for a period of 90 days if high risk card processing is suspected. Each month's reserve amount will be released on the immediate payout date following the 90 day reserve period. PaidCommunications.com may modify its reserve percentage, and length of reserve at any time based on Clients transaction history. After one year with a low chargeback rate the percentage may be reduced or the reserve may be removed. The average chargeback rate with our clients has been steadily less than half of one percent. The client will be held financially responsible for the result of any and all chargebacks for the full amount of each chargeback plus the $25 fee that our merchant bank charges. A chargeback occurs when a party declines to pay the charges they were billed by their credit card company for calls placed to the client's 1-800 number. Each month the client will receive a statement providing complete details of any chargeback activity.
