MaltaJobs reserves the right to change the Commission Plan at any time and/or agree on special commission rates with certain Affiliates individually and/or reduce future commission rates for individual Affiliates (subject to prior notice) based on poor performance or due to the Affiliate promoting their own MaltaJobs services.
