In general, referral links may be posted on bona fide agency sites, blog posts, email newsletters or shared via social media.

Exact payout dates and timing may vary and Out of the Sandbox reserves the right to determine payout dates and eligibility at its sole and final discretion. Some conversions may be subject to a longer hold period. All sales and commissions are in USD and are based on net sale, after discounts, but before taxes or other fees.
