REVERSAL & COMMUNICATION POLICY

Best Single Travel takes pride in our low cancelation rate, which we attribute to open communication with our affiliates. However, we reserve the right to reverse orders due to vacation cancellations, duplicate tracking, returns, disputed charges and program violations as outlined in these terms and conditions.

Additionally, if we ask you for clarification or more information on any orders or clicks that we suspect may be in violation of our terms and conditions, we expect that you will respond in a timely and honest manner. Below are violations of our communications policy:

1. You are not forthcoming, intentionally vague or are found to be lying.
2. You are not responsive within a reasonable time period and after multiple attempts to contact with information listed in your network profile.
3. You cannot substantiate or validate the source of your traffic to our program with clear and demonstrable proof.

If any of the above applies, we reserve the absolute right to reverse orders, set your commission to 0% or suspend you from the program for the period or orders in question. We know that many violations are a result of automated processes; however it is incumbent upon each affiliate to ensure that he or she has the appropriate checks and balances in place to proactively address these issues and adhere to our program rules.
