Policy Statement"]It is FPSC’s policy to control the collection, use and disclosure of personal information in accordance with all requirements set out in the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act, S.C. 2000, c.5 (“PIPEDA”) as well as the General Data Privacy Regulation (GDPR) implemented in May 2018.
Note: PIPEDA does not apply to personal information that FPSC collects, uses or discloses only for journalistic, artistic or literary purposes.[/la_heading][vc_empty_space height="20px"][la_heading alignment="left" title="Referral fees/commissions and payment"]For a Product sale to be eligible to earn a referral fee, the customer must click-through a Special Link from your site, email, or other communications to https://foodprocessorsinstitute.com and complete an order for a product during that session.
We will only pay commissions on links that are automatically tracked and reported by our systems. We will not pay commissions if someone says they purchased or someone says they entered a referral code if it was not tracked by our system. We can only pay commissions on business generated through properly formatted special links that were automatically tracked by our systems.
We reserve the right to disqualify commissions earned through fraudulent, illegal, or overly aggressive, questionable sales or marketing methods.
Payments only begin once you've earned more than $20 in affiliate income. If your affiliate account never crosses the $20 threshold, your commissions will not be realized or paid. We are only responsible for paying accounts that have crossed the $20 threshold.[/la_heading][vc_empty_space height="20px"][la_heading alignment="left" title="1.1 Deemed Consent to Privacy Statement Terms"]Food Processing Skills Canada (FPSC) maintains written policies that conform to legislative requirements that oblige organizations to have written website privacy statements.
