Such commissions could be paid as percentage form, the total amount of performed purchases or some stable fee for each purchase.
Usually in case the customer's purchase is refunded, the web hosting company retains the right to withhold any payments to your resulting from that individual's purchase or considers a purchase valid as the term of Money back guarantee is over.
