No, however if your affiliate account yields unusually high commissions we will request proof of identity from you, or documents proving the identity of your company. Any and all affiliate accounts that trigger our fraudscreen, or have unusually high commission earnings will be restricted to being paid by PayPal rather than by check for obvious reasons. In some cases we reserve the right to freeze affiliate accounts if we deem them suspicious. If an affiliate account is frozen for any reason we will promptly reqest additional information from the accountholder for verification purposes. If proper verification is unprovidable, the account may remain suspended for up to 90 days.
