ConectUS Wireless will “Chargeback” 100% of all commissions paid to the Independent Contractor on orders canceled or deactivated for any reason within the carrier's chargeback periods shown in these Commission Schedules. ConectUS Wireless may chargeback Independent Contractor on any rate plan or equipment changes that result in a lower commission that can occur during these chargeback periods.
