YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT BY COMPLETING THE ONLINE APPLICATION.
1. Enrollment in the Affiliate Program. To apply for enrollment in the Affiliate Program,
you must complete an Affiliate Program Application via our Web Site, and you must have an
active Website. We will evaluate your application and notify you of our acceptance or
rejection of your application.
WE MAY REJECT YOUR APPLICATION OR TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT
FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER, IN OUR SOLE DISCRETION, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO A DETERMINATION
THAT YOUR SITE IS UNSUITABLE FOR OR INCOMPATIBLE WITH THE AFFILIATE PROGRAM.
2. Utilizing MediaBuyNet.com 's Links on Your Site. If you are approved as
an Affiliate, you will be provided with access to MediaBuyNet.com's Affiliate Reporting System.
You are responsible for going to this site and establishing your own Links (defined below).
The Links at this site may include any number of graphical and textual links, banner advertisements and
button links, incorporating MediaBuyNet.com 's logo and words identifying MediaBuyNet.com
(each of these items sometimes being referred to herein as the "Links", or individually as a "Link") which,
subject to the terms and conditions hereof, you may display on your Site. You agree that you will
cooperate fully with us to establish and maintain such Links. You may place and use any Link in as many
areas on your Site as you wish, subject only to the limitations set forth in this Agreement.
You shall display the Links prominently throughout your Site. You shall use the Links only in order to
link to our Site and to promote your ability to do so pursuant to this Agreement including, without limitation,
Paragraph 8 below. You shall not present the Links or any images comprising the Links in combination with any
other name or mark, in connection with your own goods or services, or in any manner that may suggest or imply
that you or your goods or services or any other goods and services are supplied by, sponsored by, endorsed by or
affiliated with MediaBuyNet.com . You may not alter or change the look, feel or functionality of the
Links without our express prior written consent. You may not use links to our Site other than the Links
provided by or approved by us, and you may not use the Links in any way that may alter the look, feel or
functionality of our Site. We have the right to monitor your Site from time to time to determine if you are
in compliance with this Agreement.
3. Competitive Services. If you are approved as an Affiliate, MediaBuyNet.com would
prefer that you not be an affiliate or otherwise promote, market or sell any Products that are
competitive with MediaBuyNet.com 's. If you do market competitive products and services, you
agree to place our Link, banners, and any other content identifying MediaBuyNet.com and/or describing
our products and services (the "Content") in a location and in a manner or your Site that is equal to or
better than the location and manner in which you place a competitor's Content.
4. Order Processing. We will process orders placed by customers who follow the Links from your Site
to MediaBuyNet.com 's Web Site. We reserve the right to reject or withhold acceptance or fulfillment of orders
for any reason or for no reason, including but not limited to the failure of any customer making an order to
comply with our terms and conditions of sale, (which we may revise periodically without notice to you). We
will be responsible for all aspects of order processing and fulfillment. The volume and amount of sales generated
using the Links from your Site to ours will be tracked by our proprietary system (the "Tracking Data"). You will
have access to our affiliate reporting center at http://www.MediaBuyNet.com, where you can check your Site's
sales activity on a daily basis. To permit accurate tracking and reporting, you must ensure that the Links
between your Site and our Site are properly formatted and are maintained.
5. Commissions. Only Products that are purchased by a user linking to our Site from your Site
pursuant to a Link ("Linked User"), for which purchase we have received full payment
(collectively a "Qualifying Purchase"), will qualify for a commission ("Commission").
No Commission will be paid if the visitor to our Site cannot be tracked by our system or
if the visitor to our Site accesses our Site by a means other than the use of the Link.
Commission rates ("Commission Rates") will be based on the amount actually paid to us for Qualifying Purchases,
excluding amounts collected by us for sales taxes, duties, shipping, handling, and similar charges,
amounts due to credit card fraud and bad debt, and credits for returned goods ("Net Sales").
The current Commission Rate is three percent (3%) of the Net Sales received by MediaBuyNet.com ,
payable in U.S. dollars. Although it assumes no obligation to do so, MediaBuyNet.com may, from time to time,
offer additional incentives to its Affiliates.
6. Commission Payment. Subject to Section 5 above, we will pay you Commissions on a quarterly basis.
Within approximately 45 days following the end of each calendar quarter during which this Agreement is in effect,
we will send you a payment for the Commissions you earned on Net Sales in the preceding quarter
(less reductions for returns), as well as a report summarizing the sales activity on which Commissions
are payable. If Commissions payable to you for any period are less that $100.00, we may hold those
Commissions until the total amount due is at least equal to $100.00. If returns, refunds or other
events require recalculation of Net Sales for a period in which Commissions have already been paid, we will
offset Commissions payable in succeeding quarters by the amount which Commissions are reduced by such
recalculation. If there are no subsequent Commissions payable, we will send you an invoice for
reimbursement of the overpaid Commissions, and you agree to pay any such invoice within 30 days of receipt of
such invoice. As an independent contractor, you are solely and entirely responsible for any and all taxes and/or
other fees or obligations associated with your receipt of payments under this Agreement.
7. Policies and Pricing. Customers who buy Product(s) through the Affiliate Program are
customers of MediaBuyNet.com , and all purchases and related transactions are subject to MediaBuyNet.com 's Terms
and Conditions, Privacy Policy and other rules and operating procedures, all of which MediaBuyNet.com may
periodically modify, in its sole discretion. You do not have any authority to make any sale or representation on
behalf of MediaBuyNet.com or to bind MediaBuyNet.com in any way, and you agree that you shall not attempt
to do so or to hold yourself out as having authority to do so. Accordingly, you may not post MediaBuyNet.com 's
prices for its Products, its policies or terms, its availability information, or similar information on your
Site or otherwise publish the same at any time or in any other manner.
