This Agreement contains the complete terms and conditions that apply to an
individual's or entity's participation in the Effex Media LLC Affiliate
Program (the "Program"). As used in this Agreement, "we" means Effex Media
LLC, Inc., and "you" means the applicant. "Site" means a World Wide Web
site and, depending on the context, refers either to Effex Media LLC's
site located at the URL www.effexmedia.com, or to the site that you will
link to our site (and which you will identify in your Program
application).
Enrollment in the Program
We will evaluate your application in good faith
and will notify you of your acceptance or rejection. We may reject your
application if we determine (in our sole discretion) that your site is
unsuitable for the Program. Unsuitable sites include those that:
Promote violence
Promote discrimination based on race, sex, religion, nationality,
disability, sexual orientation, or age
Promote illegal activities
Otherwise violate intellectual property rights
If we reject your application, you are welcome to reapply to the
Program at any time. You should also note that if we accept your
application and your site is thereafter determined (in our sole
discretion) to be unsuitable for the Program, we may terminate this
Agreement.
Links to your Store
Once you have filled out the affiliate application you will be emailed a
username, password, and a unique ID that identifies your site in our
system. You can link to your store using one of the following options:
-Quick Search
-Link to our home page
Effex Media LLC will supply text, icon, and banner links for you to
market your new store. Furthermore, we reserve the right to populate your
store with banners, links, etc... which may or may not be part of an advertising
purchase. You do not share in this revenue.
Along with these links you MUST use the source code
provided. This code identifies you to our system, and you cannot earn
commissions if these links are set up improperly. It is at the sole
discretion of the webmaster to accurately copy and maintain these links. If
you have any problems, contact affiliates@effexmedia.com.
Order Processing
We will process Product orders placed by customers who follow links from
your site to our site. We reserve the right to reject orders that do not
comply with any requirements that we may periodically establish. We will
be responsible for all aspects of order processing and fulfillment. These
include the preparation of order forms, processing payments,
cancellations, and returns, as well as handling customer service. We will
track sales made to customers who purchase Products using Special Links
from your site or directly on your store if you have redirected your URL,
and maintain a detailed report on this activity which will be made available
in our Affiliate Center 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Simply login to the
affiliate center with your username and password to track your earnings!
Commissions
For a product sale to be
eligible to earn a commission fee, the customer must follow a link to your store or
go to your store, select and purchase the product using our automated
ordering system, accept delivery of the product at the shipping
destination, and remit full payment to us. You will earn a percentage of
the gross sale.
Fee payment schedule
Payments on commissions of $250.00 or more are made on a monthly basis.
Commissions totaling less than $250.00 will be issued at the end of three (3)
months if webmaster has not earned a total of $250.00 in that time period.
Policies and Pricing
Customers who buy products through this Program will be deemed to be
customers of Effex Media LLC. Accordingly, all Effex Media LLC rules,
policies, and operating procedures concerning customer orders, customer
service, and product sales will apply to those customers. We may change
our policies and operating procedures at any time. For example, we will
determine the prices to be charged for products sold under this Program in
accordance with our own pricing policies. Product prices and availability
may vary from time to time, therefore, we cannot guarantee the
availability or price of any particular product.
Terms of the Agreements
The terms of this Agreement will begin upon our acceptance of your Program
application and will end when terminated by either party. Either you or we
may terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause, by giving
the other party written notice of termination. You are only eligible to
earn referral fees on sales of qualifying products occurring during the
term, and fees earned through the date of termination will remain payable
only if the related orders are not canceled or returned. We may withhold
your final payment for up to 90 days to ensure that the correct amount
is paid.

at any time and in our sole discretion, by posting a change notice or a
new agreement on our site. Modifications may include, for example, changes
in the scope of available referral fees, referral fee schedules, payment
procedures, and Program rules. IF ANY MODIFICATION IS UNACCEPTABLE TO YOU,
YOUR ONLY RECOURSE IS TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT. YOUR CONTINUED
PARTICIPATION IN THE PROGRAM FOLLOWING OUR POSTING OF A CHANGE NOTICE OR
NEW AGREEMENT ON OUR SITE WILL CONSTITUTE BINDING ACCEPTANCE OF THE
CHANGE.

You and we are independent contractors, and nothing in this Agreement will
create any partnership, joint venture, agency, franchise, sales
representative, or employment relationship between the parties. You will
have no authority to make or accept any offers or representations on our
behalf. You will not make any statement, whether on your site or
otherwise, that reasonably would contradict anything in this Section.
Limitation of Liability
We will not be liable for indirect, special, or consequential damages (or
any loss of revenue, profits, or data) arising in connection with this
Agreement or the Program, even if we have been advised of the possibility
of such damages. Further, our aggregate liability arising with respect to
this Agreement and the Program will not exceed the total referral fees
paid or payable to you under this Agreement.
Disclaimers
We make no express or implied warranties or representations with respect
to the Program or any products sold through the Program (including,
without limitation, warranties of fitness, merchantability,
non infringement, or any implied warranties arising out of a course of
performance, dealing, or trade usage). In addition, we make no
representation that the operation of our site will be uninterrupted or
error-free, and we will not be liable for the consequences of any
interruptions or errors.

DESIRABILITY OF PARTICIPATING IN THE PROGRAM AND ARE NOT RELYING ON ANY
REPRESENTATION, GUARANTEE, OR STATEMENT OTHER THAN AS SET FORTH IN THIS

to that restriction, this Agreement will be binding on, inure to the
benefit of, and enforceable against the parties and their respective

any provision of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of our right
to subsequently enforce such provision or any other provision of this
Agreement.
