Therefore it is the responsibility of the affiliate to ensure that all links are properly tagged.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) requires that connections between advertiser and endorsers be conspicuously disclosed. Blogs, websites, ratings and review sites, and similar must declare the compensation arrangement with the advertiser. As such, you must declare the financial relationship between you and TMDHosting in a prominent location on your website/s in order to be in compliance with the FTC.

You may not modify or use for any other purpose any intellectual property rights, banners or other creative material supplied by us without the written prior consent of TMDHosting. All copyright or intellectual property rights notices on any material supplied or approved by TMDHosting must remain and not be modified or eliminated. The appearance and syntax of the hypertext transfer links are designed and designated by us and constitute the only authorized and permitted representation of TMDHosting.

By agreeing to participate in the TMDHosting Affiliate Program, you are agreeing to download banners, text or promotional material and place it on your site, utilize it within email or by direct marketing using your affiliate URL. These methods are the only approved methods by which you may advertise TMDHosting 's products and services.

Our decision in this regard will be final and no correspondence will be entered into.

We reserve the right to retain all amounts due to you under this Agreement if we have reasonable cause to believe that such traffic has been caused with your knowledge. Even if you have not knowingly generated such traffic, we reserve the right to withhold affiliate commissions with respect to such.

Affiliates are prohibited from signing up for any of the hosting services or products promoted by TMDHosting through their own affiliate link or from the affiliate link of an associate who shares all, or, part of the commission with the affiliate or a third party.

Customers in good standing are hosting account owners who have provided valid contact information, are not flagged for high fraud risk, have active accounts that do not exceed any quotas or limitations as per the TMDHosting Terms of Service and actively use their accounts.

IV. COMMISSIONS

All commissions that are paid to affiliates are calculated automatically, and are based on the commission structure presented at the affiliate home page, unless stated otherwise in a different agreement or in an appendix to this one, approved by both the affiliate and TMDHosting.

Commissions are paid when:

There is a successful purchase of one of the following products by customers, referred to TMDHosting site by an affiliate link: Shared and Cloud hosting packages; VPS hosting packages or Dedicated servers.

After our standard 30-day review period.

We reserve the right to extend the review period without prior notice for as long as is reasonably necessary in order to establish the validity of a sale.

In case the purchased account is a shared or a cloud hosting package and has a validity duration billing cycle of only 1 month the review period will be extended to 90 days.

The purchase has not been void, cancelled or revoked during the review period by the customer or by us and the account is active at the time of the payout.

Commissions are payable on the 5th day of the following month if automatic payout has been requested by the Affiliate. Alternatively, all amounts due will be paid out upon request.

All commissions, presented and paid, are in USD.

There is a minimum payout commission of $100, which needs to be reached by affiliates before any transfer to their PayPal account can take place, exclusive of any sign up bonus amount.

Commission levels are developed in a manner of fair motivation, created by the company for the affiliates in order to constantly maintain success. Affiliates are entitled to join the Default level upon sign up and throughout the month they can use all legal sources to enhance their performance and reach higher commission levels.

Commission levels are: Default, Level 1 and Level 2. At the beginning of each month, these levels are reset so that affiliates are added automatically to the Default level, unless validity period is exclusively determined other way by TMDHosting in an additional agreement.

Different campaigns carry different commission amounts, which are presented in the commission table on the affiliate home page.

Moving from one commission level to another can be done only within one campaign. Monthly commissions are manually approved at the end of each month and are paid to affiliates at the beginning of the month after the following when the minimum payout commission was reached.

In the cases an affiliate is found to be sending customers not in good standing any approved commission can receive an additional 90 day review period.

Commissions are paid on a unique purchase made by a new customer and not on an existing one or a subsequent renewal order. Only commissions with status APPROVED are paid to the affiliate and TMDHosting is the sole instance of approval.
Payment Form - commissions can be paid only through PayPal.
For payments to be made through PayPal, you must provide us with the necessary information upon sign up.

Half of PC applications are out of date

via TechRadar - All the latest technology news http://bit.ly/2Hoq5rl

New research from Avast has revealed that more than half (55%) of PC applications installed worldwide are out-of-date, leaving users and their personal data vulnerable to security risks.

The firm's PC Trends Report 2019 found that users are making themselves more vulnerable to hackers by not implementing security patches and keeping outdated versions of popular applications on their PCs with Adobe Shockwave (96%), VLC Media Player (94%) and Skype (94%) being the applications where updates are most frequently neglected.

To compile its report, Avast used anonymised and aggregated data from 163m devices across the globe and the firm also discovered that Windows 10 is now installed on 40 per cent of all PCs globally as Microsoft's latest OS is fast approaching the 43 per cent share held by Windows 7.

However, almost one in six (15%) of all Windows 7 users and one in ten (9%) of all Windows 10 users worldwide are running older versions which are no longer supported by Microsoft.

Shift to mobile computing

Avast's President Ondrej Vlcek explained how users regularly update to new smartphones but are keeping their PCs longer, saying:

“Most of us replace our smartphone regularly, but the same cannot be said for our PCs. With the average age of a PC now reaching six years old, we need to be doing more to ensure our devices are not putting us at unnecessary risk. With the right amount of care, such as cleaning our hardware’s insides using cleaners, optimization and security products, PCs will be safe and reliable for even longer.”

Laptops, tablets and 2-in-1 PCs running Windows have grown in popularity as PC users now favour mobility over raw power with 67 per cent choosing laptops and tablets over desktops. The shift to mobile PCs has also impacted the most installed applications and Google Chrome jumped to the top of the list in 2018 increasing its share of installs from 79 per cent to 91 per cent in the last 12 months.

The other most popular PC applications were Adobe Acrobat Reader (60%), WinRar (48%), Microsoft Office (45%) and Mozilla Firefox (42%). Despite the fact that Microsoft Office was the fourth most used application worldwide, it is also one of the most out-of-date apps and 15 per cent of users still have the Enterprise 2007 version installed even though it is no longer officially supported.
