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

on our behalf. You will not make any statement, whether on your site or
otherwise, that reasonably would contradict anything in this Section.
Our Responsibilities We
will be responsible for providing all information necessary to allow
you to make appropriate Links from Your Site to Our Site. Whether as a
result of customers following a Link from Your Site or using your
Affiliate ID Number as a result of "off-line marketing",
we will be responsible both for processing every application and for
tracking the number and amout of sales generated by such activities,
and for providing information to you regarding sales statistics by such
activities. Also, we will be responsible for credit card
authorizations, payment processing, cancellations, returns, and related
customer service, it being understood that such activities shall be for
our account.
Responsibility for Your Site You
will be solely responsible for the development, operation, and
maintenance of your site and for all materials that appear on your
site. For example, you will be solely responsible for:
- The technical operation of your site and all related equipment
- The
accuracy and appropriateness of materials posted on your site
(including, among other things, all product-related materials)
- Ensuring
that materials posted on your site do not violate or infringe upon the
rights of any third party (including, for example, copyrights,
trademarks, privacy, or other personal or proprietary rights)
- Ensuring that materials posted on your site are not libelous or otherwise illegal.
We disclaim all
liability for these matters. Further, you will indemnify and hold us
harmless from all claims, damages, and expenses (including, without
limitation, attorneys' fees) relating to the development, operation,
maintenance, and contents of your site.
Linking As
an Affiliate, we will make available to you a variety of graphic and
textual links (each of these links sometimes being referred to herein
as "Links" or, individually, as a "Link"), which, subject to the terms
and conditions hereof, you may display as often and in as many areas on
your site as you desire. The Links will serve to identify your site as
a member of our Affiliate Program and will establish a link from your
site to ours.
a. Agreements
Regarding Links: In utilizing the Links, you agree that you will
cooperate fully with us in order to establish and maintain such Links.
You also agree that you will display in your site only those graphic or
textual images (indicating a Link) that are provided by us, and you
will substitute such images with any new images provided by us from
time to time throughout the term of this Agreement. All Affiliate Sites
shall display such graphic and/or textual images prominently in
relevant sections of their site. All Links may be modified and/or
expanded from time to time throughout the term of this Agreement
pursuant to the mutual agreement of the parties hereto. Each Link
connecting users of your site to our site will in no way alter the
look, feel, or functionality of our site.
b. We will refuse
all applications or signups from affiliates which we believe
participate in spyware, adware or parasiteware techniques for driving
traffic. We reserve the right to research and investigate affiliates
and their activities and, at our own discretion, determine whether or
not these practices are in place. Affiliates found in violation of this
policy will be immediately terminated from the program and will forfeit
all commissions.
Commission Schedule You
will earn commissions (referral fees) based on revenues according to
the commission schedule to be established by us. The current
commission schedule is:
Bonus Commission Possibilities
A second tier
payment is available to those first tier affiliates who refer other
affiliates. The referred affiliate must sign up as an affiliate, using
the standard process. We will pay you in accordance with this schedule:
- 5% of Revenues from sales by your second tier affiliates
- Retail establishments and service providers will not be entitled to bonus commissions.
Commission Payment We will pay you commissions on a monthly
basis. Approximately 15 days following the end of each calendar month,
we will send you a check for the referral fees commissions earned on
sales of Products that were purchased and paid during that month.
However, if the referral fees payable to you for any calendar month are
less than $25.00 (USD), we will hold those referral fees until the
total amount due is at least $25.00 (USD) or (if earlier) until this
Agreement is terminated. If a Product that generated a referral fee is
not paid in complete by the end customer or is purchased by the use of
a fraudulent credit card, we will deduct the corresponding referral fee
from your next payment. If there is no subsequent payment, we will send
you a bill for the commission paid on sales.
Commission Eligibility Affiliates are eligible to earn commissions on their purchases of any products offered at www.JerichoSpa.com.
Tax Reporting Requirement United
States Affiliates (individual / resident / corporation / business) must
provide us with a completed W-9 Federal Tax form before we will issue a
check to the Affiliate. We agree to issue a 1099 to Affiliates only if
they reach the maximum payout allowed under Federal tax law (currently
$600 - 3/30/01). We will provide you with the necessary form.
