Contract Rules can be used to establish unified rules across all of the template terms created in your Advertiser account. When a rule is enabled, every new template term created in your account will inherit that rule.
From the left navigation menu, select
[Menu] → Settings.In the General section, select Template Term Rules.
| Administrators | Enabling this setting will enforce contract rules for other administrators of your brand's account. Note that other administrators can also disable this setting—consider using custom account user role with Template Term Rules permissions disabled to prevent other users from editing these settings. |
| Restrict modification of template terms | Enabling this setting to further restrict the modification of selected template terms to only those with the Template Terms Administratoraccount permission. After toggling this rule on, begin typing the name of the template term for which you want to restrict modification, then select it from the drop-down menu that appears. |
| Change notification period | Standardizes the default amount of time in days that partners are notified before contract changes go into effect. Select the checkbox to allow account users to change this setting on a per-contract basis. If selected, you can select the second checkbox to set a maximum number fo days that account users can use. |
| Action locking | Use the fields and dropdowns to set your action locking period for all contracts. This setting is very important, and is tied to your account funding! |
| Payment Scheduling | Use the fields and dropdowns to set your payout scheduling period, which is when partners will receive their payouts from your account wallet. This setting is very important, and is tied to your account funding! |
| Click Referral Window | This sets the window of time that a partner can still receive credit for an action. For example, if a partner drove a click to your web store and the customer doesn't purchase anything yet, the referral window starts. If the customer returns to your site within the referral window and purchases something (i.e., completes an action or "converts"), the partner will receive credit for driving that action. |
| View Through Tracking | If you're still using this legacy feature, you can configure the window of time that a partner can receive credit, or disable it globally. |
| Payout | This is the default payout applied to all template terms if no payout groups, adjustments, restrictions, or performance bonuses apply to the action: Percentage payout per order or per item sale amount pays the partner a percentage of the sale—either of the whole order, or on a per-item basis. Fixed payout per order or per item pays the partner a fixed payout for the order amount or for the item(s) in an action. This is the payout that partners will see at the top of your template term. |
| Placement Fees | If you're setting placement fees in your template terms, you can set a global maximum for all template terms here. |
| Minimum EPC Guarantee | If you're using a CPC Event Type and setting a minimum EPC Guarantee for partners, you can set a global value for all template terms here. |
| Reversal Policy | If you decide to reverse an action, this setting determines how much of the payout you can receive. impact.com's recommended default is Advertiser Returns 100% max monthly returns, so you can recover 100% of your payout in the event of an order return, cancellation, or fraud. |
| Partner Custom Terms | Choose whether to globally allow or disallow partners to propose their own custom terms onto your proposed template terms. |
