WrestlingClassics.com
Affiliates Program Agreement
This
Agreement contains the complete terms and conditions that apply to an
individual's or entity's participation in the WrestlingClassics.com
Affiliates Program (the "Program"). As used in this
Agreement, "we" means Wrestling Classics Inc., and
"you" means the applicant. "Site" means a World
Wide Web site and, depending on the context, refers either to
WrestlingClassics.com's site, located at the URL
www.WrestlingClassics.com, or to any 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 (in our sole discretion) that
your site is unsuitable for the Program. Unsuitable sites include
those that:
o
promote sexually explicit materials
o
promote violence
o
promote discrimination based on race, sex, religion,
nationality, disability, sexual orientation, or age
o
promote illegal activities
o
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 (in our sole discretion) to be
unsuitable for the Program, we may terminate this Agreement.
- 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:
Category
or Product Links: You may select one or more Categories or Products to
list on your site. A "Product" is any product listed on our
site, excluding products (including, without limitation, wireless
service plans offered through our site) not sold and fulfilled by us,
such as products found through Amazon.com. For each selected Category
or 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 Category or Product reference on your site to
the corresponding WrestlingClassics.com online catalog entry. Each
such link will connect directly to that category or item in our online
catalog. You may add or delete Categories or Products (and related
links) from your site at any time without our approval.
You
may not list Categories or Products on your site that are not
"Categories or Products" as defined above.
General Link to WrestlingClassics.com Online Store: You may provide a
general link on your site to our online store at http://wrestlingclassics.com/cgi-bin/miva?Merchant2/merchant.mv+.
We
will provide you with guidelines and graphical artwork to use in
linking to our online store. 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 earn referral fees only 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 that would otherwise be paid to you
pursuant to this Agreement.
- 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 that we may
establish periodically. 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. We will track sales made to customers
who purchase Products by 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 in our discretion.
- Referral
Fees
We will pay you (in accordance with Sections 5 and 8 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 click-through a Special Link from your site to our site, and
add the Product to his or her shopping cart during a session. The
session ends upon one of the following events: (a) 24 hours
elapses from the customer's initial click-through, (b) the
customer orders the Product, or (c) the customer follows a third
party's Special Link. We will only pay referral fees on such
Products after order, payment and shipping have occurred.
We
will not, however, pay referral fees on any Products that are added to
a customer's Shopping Cart after the customer has reentered our site
(other than through a Special Link), as determined by us, even if the
customer previously followed a link from your site to our site, or for
Products that are purchased through any device (an "Internet
Access Appliance") that provides Internet access but does not
present our site, or permit users to access and interact with our
site, in the same manner as a desktop computer (e.g., mobile devices
such as cellular telephones or PDAs that may access only limited or
modified versions of our site).
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
associates 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: (a) directly or indirectly offer any person or
entity any consideration or incentive (including, without limitation,
payment of money (including any rebate), or granting of any discount
or other benefit) 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); (b) post any Special Links on any Web site or other platform
that is accessible through any Internet Access Appliance; (c) read,
intercept, record, redirect, interpret, or fill in the contents of any
electronic form or other materials submitted to us by any person or
entity; (d) in any way modify, redirect, suppress, or substitute the
operation of any button, link, or other interactive feature of our
site; (e) make any orders or subscription requests, or engage in other
transactions of any kind on our site on behalf of any third party, or
authorize, assist, or encourage any other person or entity to do so;
(f) take any action that could reasonably cause any customer confusion
as to our relationship with you, or as to the site on which any
functions or transactions (e.g., search, order, browse, and so on) are
occurring; or (g) post or serve any advertisements or promotional
content around or in conjunction with the display of our site (e.g.,
through any "framing" technique or technology or pop-up
windows), or assist, authorize, or encourage any third party to take
any such action. If we determine, in our sole discretion, that you
have engaged in any of the foregoing activities, we may (without
limiting any other rights or remedies available to us) withhold any
referral fees otherwise payable to you under this Agreement and/or
terminate this Agreement.
- 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, returns and bad debt. The current referral fee
schedule is:
10%
of Qualifying Revenues from the sale of all items.
- Referral
Fee and Bonus Payment
We will pay you referral fees and bonuses on a monthly basis.
Approximately 30 days following the end of each calendar month, we
will send you a check for the referral fees and bonus earned on
our sales of Qualifying Products that were shipped during that
quarter, less any taxes that we are required by law to withhold.
In calculating referral fees, we will deduct the corresponding
referral fee from your next quarterly payment if a Product that
generated a referral fee is returned by the customer.
- Policies
and Pricing
Customers who buy products through this Program will be deemed to
be customers of WrestlingClassics.com. Accordingly, all
WrestlingClassics.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.
- Identifying
Yourself as an Associate
You must display the phrase "In association with
WrestlingClassics.com" somewhere on your site. We may modify
the text or graphic image of this notice from time to time. In addition, you may not in any
manner misrepresent or embellish the relationship between us and
you, or express or imply any relationship or affiliation between
us and you or any other person or entity except as expressly
permitted by this Agreement (including by expressing or implying
that WrestlingClassics.com supports, sponsors, endorses, or
contributes money to any charity or other cause).
- Limited
License
We grant you a nonexclusive, revocable right to use the graphic
image and text described in Section 8 and such other text or
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. 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. You agree to follow our Trademark Guidelines, as
those guidelines may change from time to time. We may revoke your
license at any time by giving you written notice.
- 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
- creating
and posting Product descriptions on your site and linking those
descriptions to our catalog
- 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.
- 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 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 WrestlingClassics.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 eligible to earn referral
fees only on our sales of Qualifying Products that occur during
the term, and referral 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.
- 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, 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, 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.
- Miscellaneous
This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the United States
and the state of Florida, without reference to rules governing
choice of laws. Any action relating to this Agreement must be
brought in the federal or state courts located in Tampa, Florida
and you consent irrevocably to the jurisdiction of such courts.
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 be 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.
