AFFILIATE PROGRAM AGREEMENT
AFFILIATE AGREEMENT This agreement describes the terms and conditions for participation in the AweSome-Guitars.com Affiliate Program. The terms "Affiliate," "Affiliate Partner," "you," and "your" are referring to you, the applicant. "We" and "our" refer to AweSome-Guitars.com Affiliate Program. We are independent parties and this agreement will not form any partnership. AGREEMENT DURATION AND TERMINATION This agreement will begin upon our acceptance of your affiliate application and will end when terminated by either party. Termination may happen at any time, with or without cause, by giving the other party written notice via email of termination. REGISTRATION To sign up as an AweSome-Guitars.com Affiliate and to use the Service as an Affiliate Partner you must be at least 18 (eighteen) years of age, and supply a valid tax-id, which may be your social security number for individuals, or a federal tax-id for corporations or entities. MODIFICATION By posting a Change Notice or a new agreement on this site, we may modify any of the terms and conditions within this Agreement at any time and at our sole discretion. These modifications may include, but not limited to changes in the scope of available referral fees, fee schedules, payment procedures and Program rules. If any of the modifications are UNACCEPTABLE TO YOU, your only recourse is to terminate this Agreement. If you CONTINUE PARTICIPATION IN THE PROGRAM following the posting of a Change Notice or new agreement, it will be considered as your acceptance of the change. WEBSITE DEFINITION Our use of the term "website" can refer to any of the following resources: website page(s) on the internet, social media pages like Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn, YouTube, as well as links to our website that you include in all your outgoing email messages. COMMISSION PAYMENT AweSome-Guitars.com uses a third party (UltraCart.com) to handle all of the Affiliate Program tracking and payment. You will receive 15% of the revenue per sale as a commission from orders placed through your Affiliate Site on all product purchases (not including returns, shipping and taxes, etc). For a sale to generate a commission to an Affiliate, the customer must complete the order form and remit full payment for the product ordered. You will receive 15% for orders placed through your site sponsored Affiliate Program. Affiliate commissions will only be paid on sales which are made through qualified Affiliates. Referral fees can only be earned between the acceptance of the Affiliate application and notice of termination. Fees will be paid on the 1st of each month by AweSome-Guitars.com Affiliate Program to your PayPal account of record. Any chargebacks or fees from a returned order will be adjusted to the fee payment. If no fee payment is due a billing invoice for the amount will be issued. Affiliates must have an active link on their website. In order to qualify for commissions, an affiliate must personally sell at least one order during that month. Commissions: we pay 15% commission on all product purchases (not including returns, shipping and taxes, etc). This is the highest commission in our industry. Payouts: When visitors click through the logo that you have properly linked to our site and purchase supplies or gear from AweSome Musical Instruments, you will receive 5% cash referral fee on the orders (not including returns, shipping and taxes, etc). We will calculate your referral fees and send you a PayPal payment at the end of each month. If your referral fees total less than $25 for the month, we will accrue your referral fees until you reach the $25 floor and pay you at the end of the corresponding month. All payments will be made in US dollars to your PayPal account of record. Payout Frequency: Because AweSome-Guitars.com has a 30 day return policy, we pay affiliate referral fees on sales that are net of returns. After the 30 day return policy has passed, we need a standard 30 days for processing returns and issuing payments. Cookie Duration: You will receive a commission for all sales made within 30 days of the last click-through from your site. This period is also known as the cookie duration, since Special link tracking is done through placing a browser cookie on the user's computer. ORDER PROCESSING AweSome-Guitars.com Affiliate Program will be solely responsible for processing every order placed by a customer on the Affiliate site(s). Customers who purchase products and services through the AweSome-Guitars.com Affiliate Program will be deemed to be customers of AweSome-Guitars.com Affiliate Program. Prices and availability of our products and services may vary from time to time. AweSome-Guitars.com Affiliate Program policies will always determine the price paid by the customer. We reserve the right to reject any order that does not comply with our rules, operating procedures and policies.

You shall not provide, promote, distribute, place or otherwise publish as an Affiliate of the Service any content, or Website that includes content, which is libelous, defamatory, obscene, pornographic, abusive, fraudulent or violates any law.

As an Affiliate, You may not artificially inflate traffic counts to Merchant site(s) using any device, program, robot or other means, including but not limited to JavaScript pop-up windows and redirects. You may not click on Your own banners and/or links or submit multiple leads to Your Merchant partners. Links may not be placed in newsgroups, unsolicited e-mail, ICQ, banner networks, counters, chatrooms or guestbooks. Any Link placed must be done in such a way that it is not misleading to any Visitor and done with the intention of delivering valid sales, leads, or clicks to the related Merchant for that Link. AweSome-Guitars.com RESERVES THE RIGHT TO DEEM ANY SITE INAPPROPRIATE AND TERMINATE THE SITE AS A MEMBER OF AweSome-Guitars.com. If You are terminated from the Service, AweSome-Guitars.com has the right to withhold money You earned within the Service or money that You owe within the Service and You will not be allowed to re-join AweSome-Guitars.com. WEBSITE RESTRICTIONS Although we would like everyone to promote AweSome-Guitars.com products, we do not allow certain sites to participate in our Affiliate Program. We reject applications with sites that contain or link to content that is unsuitable for our Affiliate Program. Unsuitable sites: * Use software applications or browser helper objects (you can be an affiliate, just not use this type of referrer technology with our site) * Contain sexually explicit materials * Promote violence and discord * Promote discrimination based on race, sex, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation, or age * Promote illegal or questionable activities * Violate intellectual property or patent rights If we reject your application, you are welcome to reapply to the Program at any time. If we accept your application and your site is thereafter determined, at our sole discretion, to be unsuitable for our Affiliate Program, we may terminate this Agreement. SPAM (UCE) RESTRICTIONS Unsolicited Commercial E-mail: AweSome-Guitars.com Affiliate Program in no way participates in mass unsolicited e-mailing (i.e. spamming), and all Affiliates are expected to adhere to this policy as well. Violation of this policy will result in the termination of this contract and immediate dismissal from the AweSome-Guitars.com Affiliate Program, with no refund. You are free to promote your own websites, but naturally any promotion that mentions AweSome-Guitars.com could be perceived by the public or the press as a joint effort. You should know that certain forms of advertising are always prohibited by AweSome-Guitars.com. For example, advertising commonly referred to as "spamming" is unacceptable to us and could cause damage to our name. Other generally prohibited forms of advertising include the use of unsolicited commercial email (UCE), postings to non-commercial newsgroups and cross-posting to multiple newsgroups at once. In addition, you may not advertise in any way that effectively conceals or misrepresents your identity, your domain name, or your return email address. You may use mailings to customers to promote AweSome-Guitars.com so long as the recipient is already a customer or subscriber of your services or website, and recipients have the option to remove themselves from future mailings. Also, you may post to newsgroups to promote AweSome-Guitars.com so long as the news group specifically welcomes commercial messages. At all times, you must clearly represent yourself and your websites as independent from AweSome-Guitars.com. If it comes to our attention that you are spamming, we will consider that cause for immediate termination of this Agreement and your participation in the AweSome-Guitars.com Affiliate Program. Any pending balances owed to you will not be paid if your account is terminated due to such unacceptable advertising or solicitation. Affiliates that among other keywords or exclusively bid in their Pay-Per-Click campaigns on keywords such as AweSome-Guitars.com, AweSome-Guitars, www.AweSome-Guitars, www.AweSome-Guitars.com, and/or any misspellings or similar alterations of these – be it separately or in combination with other keywords – and do not direct the traffic from such campaigns to their own website prior to re-directing it to ours, will be considered trademark violators, and will be banned from AweSome-Guitars.com Affiliate Program. We will do everything possible to contact the affiliate prior to the ban. However, we reserve the right to expel any trademark violator from our affiliate program without prior notice, and on the first occurrence of such PPC bidding behavior. Affiliates are not prohibited from keying in prospect’s information into the lead form as long as the prospects’ information is real and true, and these are valid leads (i.e. sincerely interested in AweSome-Guitars.com products).

As used herein a. "Parasiteware™" and "Parasitic Marketing" shall mean an application that (a) through accidental or direct intent causes the overwriting of affiliate and non affiliate commission tracking cookies through any other means than a customer initiated click on a qualifying link on a web page or email; (b) intercepts searches to redirect traffic through an installed software, thereby causing, pop ups, commission tracking cookies to be put in place or other commission tracking cookies to be overwritten where a user would under normal circumstances have arrived at the same destination through the results given by the search (search engines being, but not limited to, Google, MSN, Yahoo, Overture, AltaVista, Hotbot and similar search or directory engines); (c) set commission tracking cookies through loading of Merchant site in IFrames, hidden links and automatic pop ups that open AweSome-Guitars.com site; (d) targets text on websites, other than those websites 100% owned by the application owner, for the purpose of contextual marketing; (e) removes, replaces or blocks the visibility of Affiliate banners with any other banners, other than those that are on websites 100% owned by the owner of the application.
