1. Enrollment in the Program. To begin the enrollment process,
you will s ubmit a complete Affiliate Program Application via our
web site. 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 Affiliate Program for any reason, including, but not limited
to, if your site incorporates images or content that is in any way
unlawful, harmful, threatening, defamatory, obscene, harassing or
racially, ethically or otherwise objectionable, such as sites that
facilitate illegal activity, depict sexually explicit images; promote
violence; promote discrimination based on race, sex, religion, nationality,
disability, sexual orientation, or age; promote illegal activities
or incorporates any materials which infringe or assist others to
infringe on any copyright, trademark or other intellectual property
rights (collectively "Content Restrictions").
2. Utilizing Our Links on Your Site. As an affiliate site ("Affiliate
Site"), we will make available to you banner advertisements, button
links to our site and/or a text links to our site, containing Fall
Creek Technologies, Inc. logo and words identifying Fall Creek Technologies,
Inc. (each of these links sometimes being referred to herein as
"Links", or individually as a "Link"), which subject to the terms
and conditions hereof, you may display on your site. In utilizing
the Links, you agree that you will cooperate fully with us in order
to establish and maintain such Links or Links. All Affiliate Sites
shall display such graphic images prominently throughout your site
as you see fit and with our consent. A Link may only be modified
and/or expanded with our consent. Each Link connecting users of
your site to our site, will in no way alter the look, feel or functionality
of our site. We have the right in our sole discretion to monitor
your site at any time and from time to time to determine if you
are in compliance with the terms of this Agreement.
3. Order Processing. We will be responsible for providing all information
necessary to allow you to make appropriate Links from your site
to our site. However, all Links must be approved by us. We will
process orders placed by customers who follow the Links from your
site to the Fall Creek Technologies, Inc. site. We reserve the right
to reject orders that do not comply with certain requirements, that
we periodically may establish. We will be solely responsible for
all aspects of order processing and fulfillment, including order
entry, payment processing, shipping, cancellations, returns and
related customer service. We will track the volume and amount of
sales generated by your site and will make unaudited reports, summarizing
this sales activity, available to you through our site. The form,
content, and frequency of the reports may vary from time to time
in our discretion. To permit accurate tracking, reporting, and fee
accrual, you must ensure that the Links between your site and our
site are properly formatted.
4. Commissions. We will pay you a commission of $15.00 USD when
users of your site purchase hosting accounts utilizing the Links
between our site and your site. The Commission Rate is subject to
change at any time or from time to time, in our sole and absolute
discretion. You will be notified of any change in the Commission
Rate, pursuant to the provisions of Section 11 of this Affiliate
Program Agreement. Net Sales will also be reduced for amounts due
to credit card fraud, bad debts and credits for returned goods.
A commission will only be paid if the visitor to our site is tracked
by the system from the time of the Link to the time of the sale.
No commission will be paid if the visitor to our site cannot be
tracked by our system. If a visitor comes to our site once from
a link from Site A and then later returns to our site from a link
from Site B, all commissions will be paid to Site B. Only hosting
that is sold by us (to users of your site through Links to our site),
and for which we have received full payment will qualify for a commission.
For a sale to generate a commission, the customer must follow the
Link from your site to our site, purchase the product or products
in question using our online ordering system, accept our hosting
agreement terms and conditionst the shipping destination, and remit
full payment to us.
5. Commission Payment. We will pay you commissions on a monthly
basis. Approximately 30 days following the end of each month, we
will send you a check for the commissions earned on hosting that
we shipped during that month, less any taxes that we are required
by law to withhold. However, if the commissions payable to you for
any month are less than $50.00 (the "Commission Payment Floor"),
we will hold those commissions until the total amount due is at
least equal to the Commission Payment Floor. If hosting that generated
a commission is returned by the customer, we will deduct the corresponding
commission from your next monthly payment. If there is no subsequent
payment, we will send you a bill for the fee, which bill must be
paid upon receipt. The Commission Payment Floor is subject to change
at any time or from time to time, in our sole and absolute discretion.
You will be notified of any change in the Commission Payment Floor,
pursuant to the provisions of Section 11 of this Affiliate Program
Agreement.
6. Policies and Pricing. Customers who buy hosting accounts through
the Affiliate Program will be deemed to be customers of Fall Creek
Technologies, Inc. Accordingly, all Fall Creek Technologies, Inc.
rules, policies, and operating procedures concerning customer orders,
customer service, and 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 hosting accounts
sold under the Affiliate Program in accordance with our own pricing
policies. Hosting prices and availability may vary from time to
time. Because price changes may affect items that you already have
listed on your site, you may not include price information in your
descriptions. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to present
accurate information, but we cannot guarantee the availability or
price of any particular type of hosting account.
