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 (in our sole discretion) that your site is unsuitable for the Program.
If we reject your application, you are welcome to reapply to the Program at any time.
The terms of this Agreement
will begin upon our acceptance of your Program application and will end
when terminated by either party. Either you or we may terminate this Agreement
at any time, with or without cause, by giving the other party written notice
of termination. You are only eligible to earn referral fees on sales of
Qualifying Products occurring during the term, and fees earned through
the date of termination will remain payable only if the related orders
are not canceled or returned. We may withhold your final payment for a
reasonable time to ensure that the correct amount is paid.
Order Processing
We will process product orders placed by customers who follow special banner
links from your site to the www.EarthWings.com or www.Battleships.com site.
We reserve the right to reject orders that do not comply with any requirements
that we periodically may establish. We will be responsible for all aspects
of order processing and fulfillment. Among other things, we will prepare
order forms; process payments, cancellations, and returns; and handle customer
service.To permit accurate tracking, reporting, and fee accrual, you must
ensure that the special links between your site and our site are properly
formatted.
Referral Fees
We will pay you referral fees on certain product sales to third parties.
For a product sale to generate a referral fee, the customer must follow
a special link (in the format specified by www.EarthWings.com or www.Battleships.com
) from your site to our site; 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 after the customer
has reentered the site (other than through a special link from your site),
even if the customer previously followed a link from your site to our site.
The Program is intended for commercial use only, and you may not purchase
products through the Program for your own use. Such purchases may result
(in our sole discretion) in the withholding of referral fees or the termination
of this Agreement.
Fee Payment
We will pay you referral fees on a bi-monthly basis. Approximately 30 days
following the end of each period, we will send you a check for the referral
fees earned on products that were shipped during that period, less any
taxes that we are required by law to withhold. However, if the fees payable
to you for any period are less than $50.00, we will hold those fees until
the total amount due is at least $50.00 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 fee from your next payment.
If there is no subsequent payment, we will send you a bill for the fee.
Policies and Pricing
Customers who buy products through this Program will be deemed to be customers
of www.EarthWings.com & www.Battleships.com. Accordingly, all of our
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.
Modification
We may modify any of the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement,
at any time and in our sole discretion, by posting a change notice or a
new agreement on our site. Modifications may include, for example, changes
in the scope of available referral fees, fee schedules, payment procedures,
and Program rules. IF ANY MODIFICATION IS UNACCEPTABLE TO YOU, YOUR ONLY
RECOURSE IS TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT. YOUR CONTINUED PARTICIPATION IN
THE PROGRAM FOLLOWING OUR POSTING OF A CHANGE NOTICE OR NEW AGREEMENT ON
OUR SITE WILL CONSTITUTE BINDING ACCEPTANCE OF THE CHANGE.
Relationship of Parties
You and we are independent contractors, and nothing in this Agreement will
create any partnership, joint venture, agency, franchise, sales representative,
or employment relationship between the parties. You will have no authority
to make or accept any offers or representations on our behalf. You will
not make any statement, whether on your site or otherwise, that reasonably
would contradict anything in this Section.
Limitation of Liability
We will not be liable for indirect, special, or consequential damages (or
any loss of revenue, profits, or data) arising in connection with this
Agreement or the Program, even if we have been advised of the possibility
of such damages. Further, our aggregate liability arising with respect
to this Agreement and the Program will not exceed the total referral fees
paid or payable to you under this Agreement.
Disclaimers
We make no express or implied warranties or representations with respect
to the Program or any products sold through the Program (including, without
limitation, warranties of fitness, merchantability, noninfringement, or
any implied warranties arising out of a course of performance, dealing,
or trade usage). In addition, we make no representation that the operation
of our site will be uninterrupted or error-free, and we will not be liable
for the consequences of any interruptions or errors.
Independent Investigation
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT AND AGREE TO ALL ITS
TERMS AND CONDITIONS. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT WE MAY AT ANY TIME (DIRECTLY
OR INDIRECTLY) SOLICIT CUSTOMER REFERRALS ON TERMS THAT MAY
DIFFER FROM
THOSE CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT OR OPERATE WEB SITES THAT ARE SIMILAR
TO OR COMPETE WITH YOUR
WEB SITE.
YOU HAVE INDEPENDENTLY EVALUATED THE DESIRABILITY OF PARTICIPATING IN THE
PROGRAM AND ARE NOT RELYING ON ANY REPRESENTATION, GUARANTEE, OR STATEMENT
OTHER THAN AS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT.
