What the headline terms mean in practice
The published numbers are only useful when you understand the conversion event, attribution, application friction and promotion constraints behind them.
The payable event can happen before a purchase, which lowers conversion friction, but the program may validate the lead or trial against additional quality rules.
120 days gives a relatively long consideration window, which can matter for products people research over multiple sessions. Last-click rules and other attribution conditions can still override the headline duration.
Selective — relevant quality channels are reviewed; Semrush generally expects about 1,000 monthly visitors/followers and says normal review is about two working days.. Treat eligibility as a separate question from whether the commercial terms look attractive.
