  Sovrn Commerce (formerly VigLink) publishes no priced plan tiers and no API pricing
  page — sovrn.com/pricing/ and sovrn.com/commerce/pricing/ both return 404. The
  product is offered to publishers at no cost and monetized through a revenue share on
  affiliate commissions, so what Sovrn does publish is a payout contract rather than a
  price list. The single access tier and the published payout terms are recorded here.
