provide
you with

we will
provide
you with
special
"tagged"

your site
and our
site. You
must
ensure
that each
of the

and our
site

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
DIRECTV
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:
6. Income
Tax Liability
You must
understand and
agree that you
are acting as
an independent
contractor and
as such will
be responsible
for your own
Income Taxes
and any other
tax
liabilities
that affect
the sales of
our products
in your state.
By law, any
commissions in
excess of five
hundred ninty
nine ($599)
dollars must
be reported by
us on a
Federal Tax
form 1099
(that's why we
ask for your
SSAN-social
security
number on the
sign-up page).
You will be
sent this form
and are
required to
sign and
return to us
before any
'further
payment' to
you can or
will be
made.<BR><BR>
7. 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.

buy products

be deemed to
be customers

commercially
reasonable
