You cannot refer yourself, and you will not receive a commission on your own accounts. There is also a limit of one commission per referral. If someone clicks the link on your site and orders multiple accounts, then you will receive a commission on the first order only.

When a potential customer clicks on your referral link, a cookie is stored in their browser to track your referral. The cookie is then stored for 30 days to give your referred customers time to decide if they wish to purchase 3Dsellers, or ask us any pre-sale questions they may have.
A referral won’t be awarded if:
The customer uses a different browser to purchase than the one he originally used to visit our site (because the cookie does not exist in that browser).
The customer purchases after 30 days (because the cookie will expire).

We reserve the right to reject affiliate commissions for any reason.
Commission rejections may occur for the following reasons:
The sale that the referral was based on was refunded
The method by which the referral was generated was in violation of our promotional policies (see below) or violated the spirit of the Affiliate Agreement.

Your link must send the visitor to the merchant site.
User must be able to see coupon/deal/savings information and details before an affiliate cookie is set (i.e. “click here to see coupons and open a window to merchant site” is NOT allowed).
Affiliate sites may not have “Click for (or to see) Deal/Coupon” or any variation, when there are no coupons or deals available, and the click opens the merchant site or sets a cookie. Affiliates with such text on the merchant landing page will be removed from the program immediately.

The purpose of this GDPR Addendum is to secure compliance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 on the protection of personal data (“GDPR”) and Directive 2002/58/CE (“ePrivacy Directive”) in the context of 3Dsellers’s Affiliate Program.
For the Affiliate Program to be executed between You and 3Dsellers, We need to be able to single out visitors who come to our website 3Dsellers.com through your own referral links; it is especially crucial to determine the amount of the commission You are entitled to receive under the Affiliate Program.
This is achieved by placing a 3Dsellers proprietary cookie (“Affiliation Cookie”) on the visitor’s device whenever they click on one of your referral links.
As any other cookie, the Affiliation Cookie is subject to specific requirements under the ePrivacy Directive. Also, to the extent that it allows for identification of the visitor, the Affiliation Cookie is subject to personal data regulations embodied in the GDPR.
Liabilities under the ePrivacy Directive and the GDPR in relation to the Affiliation Cookie are shared between You and Us, as clarified herein.
