This Agreement contains the complete terms and
conditions that apply to an individual's or entity's participation in the
Orbitsat.com Partners Program (the "Program"). As used in this Agreement, "we"
means Orbit Communication Corp., and "you" means the applicant. "Site" means a
World Wide Web site and, depending on the context, refers either to
Orbitsat.com's site located at the URL www.Orbitsat.com
or to the site that you will link to our site (and which you will identify in
your Program application).
1. Enrollment in the Program
To begin the enrollment process, you will submit a complete Program application
via our 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 (at our sole discretion) that your site is unsuitable for the
Program. Unsuitable sites include those that:
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 (at our sole discretion) to
be unsuitable for the Program, we may terminate this Agreement.
2.Links on Your Site
Once you have been notified that your site has been accepted into the Program,
you may provide on your site one or more of the following types of links to our
site:
|

|
Product links: You may select one or more
Products to list on your site. A "Product" is any satellite products or
consumer electronics product listed on our site under any of the "Dish
Network and VOOM HDTV
Satellite Systems," or "Consumer Electronics" tabs, but does not include
any other type of product, products located in any other part of our site or
any products not fulfilled by us, such as products found through our product
finder feature which allows users to find products sold by other merchants on
the Internet. For each selected Product, you will display on your site a short
description, review, or other reference. You will be responsible for the
content, style, and placement of these references. You will provide a Special
Link (as defined below) from each Product reference on your site to the
corresponding Orbitsat.com online store entry. Each such link will connect
directly to a single item in our online store. You may add or delete Products
(and related links) from your site at any time without our approval. Satellites
Systems (but not other types of Products) that are individually listed and
linked as described above are referred to as "Individually Linked Satellite
Systems." You may not list products on your site that are not "Products" as
defined above.
|
 |
Search box link: You may provide an Orbitsat.com
search box on your site that will permit your site visitors to link directly to
a page on our site that contains the results of their search queries. We will
provide you with technical specifications describing how to include an
Orbitsat.com search box on your site.
|
 |
General link to Orbitsat.com home page: You may
provide a general link on your site to our home page at
http://www.Orbitsat.com. We will provide you with guidelines and graphical
artwork to use in linking to our home page. We will provide you with guidelines
and graphical artwork to use in linking to our home page. To permit accurate
tracking, reporting, and referral fee accrual, we will provide you with special
"tagged" link formats to be used in all links between your site and our site.
You must ensure that each of the links between your site and our site properly
utilizes such special link formats. Links to our site placed on your site
pursuant to this Agreement and which properly utilize such special link formats
are referred to as "Special Links." You will only earn referral fees with
respect to activity on our site occurring directly through Special Links: we
will not be liable to you with respect to any failure by you to use Special
Links, including to the extent that such failure may result in any reduction of
amounts which would otherwise be paid to you pursuant to this Agreement.

3. Order Processing
We will process product orders placed by customers who follow special links
from your site to our site. We reserve the right to reject orders that do not
comply with any requirements such as
Dish Network and VOOM HDTV Activation Agreement. We will be
responsible for all aspects of order processing and fulfillment. Among other
things, we will prepare order forms; process payments, cancellations,
Chargebacks, installation and returns; and handle customer service. We will
track sales made to customers who purchase products using special links from
your site to our site and will make available to you reports summarizing this
sales activity. The form, content, and frequency of the reports may vary from
time to time at our discretion.
4. Referral Fees
We will pay you (in accordance with Sections 5 and 6 below) referral fees on
certain Product sales to third parties. For a Product sale to be eligible to
earn a referral fee, the customer must follow a Special Link from your site to
our site, 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. We will not, however, pay referral fees on any Products that are
added to a customer's Shopping Cart or are purchased via our Add to Cart
feature after the customer has reentered our site (other than through a Special
Link), even if the customer previously followed a link from your site to our
site. In addition, Products listed in our online Cyberstore or in search
results as "No Stock" or "Discontinued" are not eligible for any referral fees.
You may not purchase products during sessions initiated through the links on
your site for your own use, for resale or commercial use of any kind. This
includes orders for customers or on behalf of customers or orders for products
to be used by you or your friends, relatives or Partners in any manner. Such
purchases may result (in our sole discretion) in the withholding of referral
fees or the termination of this Agreement. Products that are eligible to earn
referral fees under the rules set forth above are referred to as "Qualifying
Products."
In addition, you may not directly or indirectly offer
any person or entity any consideration or incentive (including, without
limitation, payment of money or awarding of any benefits) for using Special
Links on your site to access our site (e.g., by implementing any "rewards"
program for persons or entities who use Special Links on your site to access
our site). If we determine, in our sole discretion, that you have offered any
person or entity any such consideration or incentive, we may (without limiting
any other rights or remedies available to us) withhold any referral fees
otherwise payable to you under this Agreement.
5. Referral Fee Schedule
You will earn referral fees based on qualifying revenues according to referral
fee schedules to be established by us. "qualifying revenues" are revenues
derived by us from our sales of qualifying products, excluding costs for
shipping, handling, gift-wrapping, taxes, service charges, credit card
processing fees, and bad debt. The current referral fee schedule is:
 |
see commission page for details |
6. Referral Fee Payment
We will pay you referral fees on a quarterly basis. Approximately 30 days
following the end of each calendar quarter, we will send you a check for the
referral fees earned on our sales of Qualifying Products that were shipped
during that quarter, less any taxes that we are required by law to withhold.
However, if the referral fees payable to you for any calendar quarter are less
than $100.00, we will hold those referral fees until the total amount due is at
least $100.00 or (if earlier) until this Agreement is terminated. If a Product
that generated a referral fee is returned by the customer, we will deduct the
corresponding referral fee from your next quarterly payment. If there is no
subsequent payment, we will send you a bill for the referral fee.
7. Policies and Pricing
Customers who buy products through this Program will be deemed to be customers
of Orbitsat.com. Accordingly, all Orbitsat.com 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. Because price
changes may affect products that you already have listed on your site, you may
not include price information in your product descriptions. We will use
commercially reasonable efforts to present accurate information, but we cannot
guarantee the availability or price of any particular product.
8. Identifying Yourself as an
Affiliate
We will make available to you a small graphic image that identifies your site
as a Program participant. You must display this logo or the phrase "In
association with Orbitsat.com" somewhere on your site. We may modify the text
or graphic image of this notice from time to time. In addition, we encourage
(but do not require) you to include a Special Link on your site to the
Orbitsat.com home page at http://www.Orbitsat.com. You may not make any press
release with respect to this Agreement or your participation in the Program
without our prior written consent, which may be given or withheld in our sole
discretion. Please review our Rules Regarding Partner Communications and
Promotion.
9. Limited License

described in Section 8 and such other images for which we grant express
permission, solely for the purpose of identifying your site as a Program
