Affiliate Referral Program Agreement & Terms
This Agreement contains the terms and conditions that apply to an individual's
or entity's participation in the PhoneCardSmile Phone Card Affiliate Referral
Program (the 'Referral Program'). As used in this Agreement, 'we' means
PhoneCardSmile.Com, and 'you' means the applicant. 'Site' means a World Wide
Web site and, depending on the context, refers either to phonecardsmile’s site
located at the URL http://www.phonecardsmile.com, or to any site that you will
link to our site.
Enrolment in the Program
To begin the enrolment process, you can either upgrade your existing customer
account or sign up to referrer program at
https://www.phonecardsmile.com/referrersignup.aspx and a representative will
call you to verify your details. 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 business or site
is unsuitable for the Program. Unsuitable sites/businesses include those that:
* Promote sexually explicit materials * Promote violence * Promote
discrimination based on race, sex, religion, nationality, disability, sexual
orientation, or age * Promote illegal activities * Otherwise violate
intellectual property rights If we reject your application, you are welcome to
reapply to the Program at any future time. You should also note that if we
accept your application and your site or business is thereafter determined (at
our sole discretion) to be unsuitable for the Program, we may terminate this
Agreement.
Links on Your Site and/or other references
You will be provided with a unique Affiliate Referral Identification Number
(RF) which should be used in all referrals that generate sales. We will not be
liable to you with respect to any failure by you to using the unique
identification code including to the extent that such failure may result in any
reduction of amounts that would otherwise be paid to you pursuant to this
Agreement.
Leads/Order Processing
We will process product orders placed by customers who follow the links from
your site to our site using your RF. We will process product orders or leads
placed by you at http://www.phonecardsmile.com using your RF. We reserve the
right to refund/reject orders that do not comply with any requirements that we
periodically may establish. We will be solely responsible for all aspects of
order processing and fulfillments. Among other things, we will prepare order
forms & contracts; process payments, cancellations, and returns; and handle
customer service. The form, content, and frequency of the reports may vary from
time to time at our discretion.
Referral Fees
For a sale to be eligible to earn a referral commission, the customer must sign
up while following your referral link provided by us and make purchases using
that same account. Referral Fee Schedule You will earn referral fees based on
qualifying revenues according to referral fee schedules to be established by
us. The current referral fee schedule and qualifying product is: * 10% on the
credit card purchases of phone cards and calling cards. Redemption of reward
points are not considered as a sale.
Referral Fee Payment
We will pay you referral fees on a monthly basis. Approximately 10 days
following the end of each calendar month, we will send you a cheque for the
referral fees earned on your sales of qualifying services that were paid for in
full during that month.
Policies and Pricing
Customers who buy phone cards and calling cards through this Program will be
deemed to be customers of PhoneCardSmile.com. Accordingly, all
PhoneCardSmile.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. We will use commercially reasonable
efforts to present accurate information, but we cannot guarantee the
availability or price of any particular product.
Responsibility for Your Site and Business
You will be solely responsible for the development, operation, and maintenance
of your marketing materials and your website if any. For example, you will be
solely responsible for: * The technical operation of your site and all related
equipment. * Creating and posting descriptions on your site and linking those
descriptions to our site. * 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 and for any action that you
have taken in pursuant of customers. Further, you will indemnify and hold us
harmless from all claims, damages, and expenses (including, without limitation,
all legal fees) relating to the development, operation, maintenance, and
contents of your site and business.
Term of the Agreement
The Term 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 (email) notice of termination. Upon the termination of this
Agreement for any reason, you will immediately cease use of, and remove from
your site, all links to our site, and all PhoneCardSmile.com trademarks, trade
dress and logos, and all other materials provided by or on behalf of us to you
pursuant hereto or in connection with the Program. You are only eligible to
earn referral fees on your sales of qualifying products occurring during the
term, and referral fees earned through the date of termination will remain
payable only if the related orders are not cancelled, charged back or refund.
Modification We may modify any of the terms and conditions contained in this
Agreement, at any time and at 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, referral 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, non-infringement, 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 or business. 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.
Miscellaneous
You may not assign this Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise, without
our prior written consent. Subject to that restriction, this Agreement will be
binding on, inure to the benefit of, and enforceable against the parties and
their respective successors and assigns. Our failure to enforce your strict
performance of any provision of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of
our right to subsequently enforce such provision or any other provision of this
Agreement.
