per day and 7 days per week. You may access these stats via a
password and username we assign.

We will provide you with a unique identifying URL for you to
link to. Each sale or referral that is generated from this URL
will be attributed to you. You will have access to your own
private section to check your stats in Real Time. Your links to
the unique URL can be text links or banner links, or a
combination of the two, at your sole discretion. If you choose
banner links, you must use our banners. We will provide you with
a URL of all our banners, from which you can freely choose. You
may add as many links to SiteProPlus, or remove such links, at

banner/text links, as monitored via our affiliate program
administrative panel, for a period of sixty (60) days. And/or,
non-placement of affiliate banners/text ads. We will contact you
after thirty (30) days of "inactivity". Efforts will be made to
help and encourage your participation in the Program.
We will provide you with instructions on how to properly format
the links. You are responsible for ensuring the links are
formatted correctly. This will ensure accurate tracking of sales
for credit to your account. Every effort will be made to ensure
that our site is functional and available for customers referred
to our site through your "affiliate link".
We have NO responsibilities with regard to your site.
SiteProPlus shall have no liability for any indirect,
incidental, special or consequential damages or any loss of
revenue or profits arising under or with respect to this
agreement or the program. In addition, SiteProPlus aggregate
liability arising under or with respect to this agreement or the
program shall in no event exceed total referral fees paid or
payable to the affiliate under this agreement.
COMMISSION AND PAYMENT
We will pay you 40% of any and all purchases made by a customer referred by your "affiliate link" through our banners or text links (Not including any applicable sales tax and shipping charge). Payments shall accrue and be earned by an affiliate provided a referred customer remains with SiteProPlus for a minimum of 2 months. Affiliates shall not be entitled to payment if a referred customer cancels after the first month.
Minimum amount for payment is fifty dollars ($50). Any amount
under this will be held in your account until the minimum for
pay out is reached.
Payment will be made in the form of a bank check from
SiteProPlus, paid in US dollars. Checks will be mailed within
ten days of the first of the month for the prior month's sales.
For example, commissions for sales made during May will be sent
out on or before the 10th of June. We are not responsible for
paying interest to Affiliates for accrued but not yet delivered
Commission payments.
Payment will be made out to you and mailed, via U.S. postal
mail, to the address you provide at sign-up. (you will be able
to modify your address and contact info via your private
affiliate area)
Any "refunds" to a customer, referred through your "affiliate
link", will be deducted from your "credited" commission/s. (The
majority of customers gladly accept replacement of products.)
Charge backs, if any, will be deducted from your "credited"
commissions.
TERM OF THE AGREEMENT
The term of this agreement will begin upon our acceptance of
your affiliate program application and your placement of our
banner or textual link on your site and will end when terminated
by either party. Either you or we may terminate this agreement
at any time, by giving the other party written notice of
termination. This will be in the form of "email". You can only
earn refferal fees on sales occurring during the term. We will
never withhold any payment due. Payment of monies owed you will
be payable on the same schedule as stated above for commission
payment. Upon termination of this agreement, the former
Affiliate must remove all Affiliate links and graphics from its
web site, and refrain from publishing same in any manner
whatsoever.
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 (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.
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
new agreement on our site. Any modifications will ALSO be
notified, by email, to all participating affiliates. If any
modification is unacceptable to you, you may terminate this
agreement. Your continued participation in the program following
notification of our new program will constitute binding
acceptance of the change.
RELATIONSHIP OF PARTIES
You and We are independent contractors, and nothing in this
Agreement will create any partnerhip, 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 written here.
CONFLICTS AND DISPUTES
As with any program, a conflict or dispute may occasionally
arise due to tracking, orders, commission calculation,
performance issues and appeals regarding "termination for
cause". Below is outlined who to contact and how to handle any
such situation.
- If a concern should arise, send an email stating your full
name, your affiliate ID, your address and state the specifics of
your concern. Include any dates or numbers that apply. We will
investigate immediately and will reply as soon as possible.
- Though we will be more than willing to settle the dispute in
as fair a manner as possible we realize this situation may
arise. In this case we will be open to mediation or arbitration
to settle the matter.
- We have NOT pre-selected a mediator or arbitrator. Should one
be needed we will select a non-biased, third party moderator.
