All participants in the LightCMS Rewards program are subject to the LightCMS Rewards terms of service.
* Rewards are based on total revenue across all websites under your account. This includes LightCMS revenue only and does not include your own profit mark-up.
** All public listings on the LightCMS website are optional to the customer and not required to participate in LightCMS Rewards. They are also subject to approval and can be removed by LightCMS staff at any time.
*** If your company website is currently counting toward your LightCMS revenue total, you must have enough LightCMS revenue to qualify for the Silver level after your company website is set to free, before you can receive the free company website benefit.
**** Cash back is calculated on the first day of each month that you qualify by totaling the amount of LightCMS revenue for all websites under your account and multiplying that total by your cash back percentage. Your cash back amount is then deposited into your money pile. Totals include LightCMS revenue only and do not include your own profit mark-up.
***** The custom website plan benefit is not a guarantee that we will accept any proposal for a custom plan. Rather, it is an invitation to negotiate for a custom plan. The final decision on whether or not to include a custom plan will be made by LightCMS.
