I HAVE FOUND THIS SENTENCE,AND MADE ME CONFUSED THE MEANING OF "AS APPLICABLE". HERE IS IT THE THE SENTENCE WHERE "AS APPLICABLE" IN IT.

"The advertising fee rates you may earn will vary depending on the number and category of Products that are shipped, streamed, or downloaded (as applicable) in a given calendar month that constitute Qualifying Purchases."

Welcome to the forum. :hi:

The delivery method (shipped, streamed or downloaded) which applies to your particular order will dictate the advertising fee rate you will earn.

Please don't post all in capital letters, as you did in your first sentence. It's the online equivalent of shouting.

Ems's reply was a good one, but we didn't need to read it all again.

Please note my corrections to this post.

Always capitalise 'I', and don't leave a space before an exclamation mark.

What if you had used one of the following prepositions typed in italic, "thanks for your kindness for/to answering the question". Do any of these two propositions change the meaning in the context above?

"Thanks for your kindness for/to ..." are unnatural. There isn't even a need for "your kindness" as part of a longer sentence.

"Thanks for answering the question" suffices (though we still prefer you to simply click the "Thank" button).
