This means that once content is published, you must not delete, obscure, or alter any hyperlinks (including the text of the links), nor should you modify the published content in any way that would misrepresent the original information or intention.
Ensuring Accessibility and SEO Compliance: You must also ensure that the content remains accessible to search engine crawlers. This involves not implementing any measures that would prevent crawlers from indexing or following the links, such as using nofollow tags inappropriately or blocking the content with robots.txt restrictions.
Duration of Post Visibility: All content must remain live and unchanged on the designated website for at least 90 days after publication. This duration ensures that the content fulfills its role in any SEO strategies and marketing campaigns, providing sustained value to the buyer.
5.11.
Account Restrictions: If it is discovered that you, as a publisher, have violated the content and link integrity requirements (such as deleting, masking, or improperly modifying content or links, or hindering search engine indexing), ReputePost reserves the right to take corrective actions against your account.
Potential Actions Include:
5.12. if a publisher's account is suspended or deleted, ReputePost will ensure that any payments for completed orders, which were accepted by the buyer but not yet paid, will be processed and transferred to the publisher within seven days of the account's suspension or deletion. This provision guarantees that publishers receive compensation for their work that has already been approved by buyers, even if their account status changes.
5.13. Upon suspending or terminating a Publisher's account, the Administration will process payments due to the Publisher within 7 days for Orders that were accepted by the Buyer but not yet paid for at the time of account suspension.
5.14. When a buyer creates an order and sends it to a publisher for acceptance, the payment for that order is temporarily held or "reserved" in the publisher's balance. This means the funds are earmarked for that particular transaction but are not yet accessible to the publisher. Once the order is completed and approved by the buyer, the reserved payment is then transferred to the publisher's main balance, where it becomes available for use or withdrawal. The transfer of funds to the main balance is completed within seven days of the order's approval by the buyer, ensuring a timely payment process following the completion of the work.
5.15. Withdrawals are only permitted for orders that have been completed and approved by the buyer, ensuring that funds are only transferred once all obligations are met. It is the responsibility of the publisher to provide accurate payment details when requesting a withdrawal. If a publisher provides incorrect payment details and funds are sent to the wrong address, the transaction is considered final. ReputePost is not responsible for recovering or reissuing payments sent to an incorrect address; therefore, publishers must carefully verify their payment information to avoid any errors.
5.16. ReputePost applies a commission based on the selected payment method when Publishers withdraw funds. This commission structure is designed to cover transaction costs and ensure the continued operation and improvement of the ReputePost platform.

Transaction Fee (4%): This portion of the commission is designed to offset the payment processing fees incurred by ReputePost, which can be as high as 5.23% or more with payment processors like PayPal. This 4% fee is applicable to all withdrawals, regardless of the payment method used, ensuring that the cost of transaction processing is adequately covered.
Service Fee (3.9%): This fee is charged to cover the operational costs of ReputePost and is applied to publishers who registered with the platform on or after August 1, 2018. This fee supports the maintenance and development of the platform, enhancing the service provided to both publishers and buyers.
5.17. The minimum payout threshold on ReputePost is set at $50. This means that publishers must accumulate at least $60 in earnings before they can initiate a withdrawal from their account balance. This policy helps streamline the payment process and reduce transaction fees.
