FanDistro.com has created this privacy policy to demonstrate our commitment to the privacy of our affiliate members ("Fans", "Users" or "affiliates"). All purchases are made through Paypal or other third party payment options that we may make available to you, and we never see your credit card number or your payment passwords. That information stays with the third party companies. By becoming a registered member of this site, or "User," you agree to this user agreement and to our Privacy Policy. If you are an Artist for whom we are distributing music content and other merchandise, you also agree to our Artist Agreement, which is available for viewing at www.fandistro.com/your.page. Please read the following to learn more about our policies, and how we treat personal information collected from our Users.
What this Privacy Policy Covers
This privacy policy covers our treatment of personally identifiable information collected by us through a website owned and operated by us.
This privacy policy does not apply to the practices of companies that are not in our direct subjection, or of persons not employed by us, including any third-party content contributors bound by contract and any third-party websites to which our websites may link.
Distro Dues
To use FanDistro artists are charged a yearly due of $9.99. This is not an upfront cost to the artist. This is paid as you earn your first $9.99 in sales. Any earning after the $9.99 is paid is the artists.
Collection and Use of Personal Information
You may visit our websites without revealing any personal information. However, we need certain personal information if you wish to purchase our products, register with FanDistro.com, receive our newsletter, or use certain of our services.
If and where required, this information may include your contact information and/or your company contact information. We will use this information to reply to your inquiries, to provide you with requested products and services, and to set up your member account and associated services.
We automatically gather certain data and store it in log files, like most other websites do, including IP addresses, your operating system, browser type, pages you visit, when you visited us, etc. We use this information to provide you our services, to enhance your user experience, and to make our services work better. We do not sell personally-identifiable information to third parties.
Commission Payments
Users will receive commission payments solely as determined by FanDistro.com. We reserve the right to change any aspect of the Company's program as we determine appropriate. We track sales using ip addresses, cookies and sessions. When a purchase is made we identify the referring Fan and credit their account with their commission. Commissions are paid only on music content and other merchandise sales and a maximum of one commission will be paid per item sold. If a purchaser has clicked through the ads of more than one Fan, then only the most recent ad will generate a commission.
Fans receive a commission of 20% of the sale price of all music and merchandise sold through FanDistro.com.
Fans must have a PayPal account to receive payments from FanDistro.com.
FanDistro.com makes commission payments to Fans not less than once per month. Fans are responsible for ensuring that their ads are working as intended. This is easily done by (1) publishing the ad on a web site and then clicking through to make sure the intended page is generated and then (2) checking the Fan's account using the link found at www.FanDistro.com to make sure a visit was registered.
Transaction Costs
FanDistro is charged transaction costs when points are purchased through Paypal. In order for FanDistro to break even on the transaction costs we are having the Artist pay for them.
For a single track purchase there is a 10% transaction cost and for a full album purchase there is 5% transaction cost.
These costs are subject to change and FanDistro is working on ways to reduce the costs.
Users are responsible for ensuring that their ads are working as intended. This is easily done by (1) publishing the ad on a web site and then clicking through to make sure the intended page is generated and then (2) checking the Fan's account (using the link found at www.FanDistro.com) to make sure a visit was registered.
