be a flat fee of $10.00 for a hotel stay arising from a Qualified Booking.
C. Payment of Commissions: Payments of commissions are made at the end of the month
following the date of the customer's stay, not the date of the Qualified Booking. For example, for a Qualified Booking made
in June for a hotel stay that takes place in July, the commission would be paid by the end of August. If your commissions
in any month are less than $25.00, we will hold those commissions and send you a commission check at the end of the next
month, or when your total earned commissions exceed $25.00. You may log into the partner gateway to determine any commissions
that have been earned and the breakout of sales. When this Agreement terminates, any commissions due at the time of termination
will be paid at the end of the month following termination. If a customer disputes or rejects room charges and we have already
paid you a commission fee based on revenue, we will deduct the amount of the disputed commission from your next monthly commission
fee payment. If there are no subsequent commission fees due to you, we will send you a bill for the amount of the disputed
commission, and you agree that you will pay that bill no later than thirty (30) days after you receive it. We will not pay
any commissions generated through Promotional Assets that have been altered or modified by you in violation of Sections V
