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: 

Promote violence
Promote discrimination based on race, sex, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation, or age 
Promote illegal activities
Include "Orbit or Orbitsat" or variations or misspellings thereof in their domain names
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 (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 "DIRECTV 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 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:

bullet See commission page for details

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. 

8. 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.

9. 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://dtv.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.

10. Limited License

We grant you a nonexclusive, revocable right to use the graphic image and text 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 participant and to assist in generating product sales. You may not modify the graphic image or text, or any other of our images, in any way. We reserve all of our rights in the graphic image and text, any other images, our trade names and trademarks, and all other intellectual property rights.
