1. Enrollment in this Program.
To begin the enrollment process, you will submit a completed application through
our website http://www.twistedcash.com We will evaluate your application in
good faith and will notify you of your acceptance or rejection. We will reject
your application if we determine that you have provided inaccurate or incomplete
signup information, determine that you are under 18 years of age (21 in some
jurisdictions) or determine that your site is unsuitable for the Program for
any reason, including, but not limited to, if your site incorporates images
or content that is unlawful, defamatory, obscene, harassing or otherwise objectionable,
such as sites that facilitate illegal activity or promote violence or promote
or assist others in promoting copyright infringement (collectively, “Content Restrictions”).
Again, you must be at least eighteen (18) years of age (or older if legal age
of majority is more than 18) to participate in this Program. Not withstanding
the above guidelines we retain the right to reject your application for any
reason, with or without cause.
2. Utilizing Links on Your Site.
As an affiliate website of COMPANY (“Affiliate Site”), you may use any form of promotion you choose, consistent with the terms of this Agreement. You may use banner advertisements, button links and/or text links to our site (the “Links”), however, you cannot employ deceptive language or misleading URLs in the Links, and you cannot market by sending unsolicited bulk e-mails (aka UBE). (As used herein, UBE, or “Spam” refers
to the transmission of unsolicited bulk e-mails, i.e., not derived from a verifiable
opt-in program or sent absent a prior business relationship with the recipient).
Any activity by you or on your behalf that we determine or reasonably suspect
to be the result of an unsolicited bulk e-mail program will result in your
immediate termination from the Program and your forfeiting of monies otherwise
due you hereunder. (For further guidelines on this topic, please see Section
5, below.) Allowable promotional links may contain COMPANY's trade names, service
marks, and/or logos for display on your Affiliate Site. Subject to the terms
and conditions hereof, you are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable
license to access and download such Links and other designated promotional
materials for placement on your Affiliate Site for the sole and exclusive purpose
of promoting websites owned, operated or controlled by COMPANY. In utilizing
the Links, you agree that you will cooperate fully with us in order to establish
and maintain such Link or Links. A Link may only be visually modified with
our consent.
3. Commissions.
The Program comes in two forms of commission payout: (a) payout based on revenue sharing, (b) payout based on signup, (c) payout based on active memberships,
(a) Revenue Sharing : We will pay you a percentage of monies earned from a
subscribers membership.
(b) Per Signup: We will pay you a commission per sign-up coming from your Links.
The Commission Rate is subject to change from time to time, upon e-mail notice to you. Note that a commission will only be paid if the visitor to our site can be tracked by the system from the time of the Link to the time of the sale. No commission will be paid if the visitor's payment to our site cannot be tracked directly to your site by our system or if full payment for services is not made to us by the customer. Sales generated via exit consoles that offer discounted membership rates to surfers will automatically be paid via the revenue sharing option, regardless of the payment option you chose during signup. No commission will be paid for signups by you or anyone within your organization.
4. Commission Payment.
Commissions due and owing to you under the Program will be paid to you directly
by COMPANY on a bi-weekly basis for the prior weeks' activity. Payments due
and owing to you for a pay period of less than $50.00 will be rolled over into
subsequent
payment periods until at least $50.00 is reached, at which time you will receive
payment. COMPANY will pay you commissions for sales generated via the credit
card signup option offered on COMPANY web sites only, sales generated via
check payment options or phone payment options will not result in commission
payment.
Furthermore,
any
sale
that results in a chargeback of any kind, or sales that are generated off the
billing
cascade
will
not
result
in
commission
payments
to
you.
Payments
will
be
in
the
form
of
a
check
in
US
dollars
payable
to
you, as identified in your application, and will be mailed to the street address
indicated
in your application. COMPANY may deduct charges, fees and other expenses arising
from the processing of sales you refer from your commission amount. The amount
and percentage of such deductions is at COMPANY's sole discretion. Webmasters
may
select
to be paid via COMPANY approved electronic means. Currently the only COMPANY
approved means is via the electronic payment
system commonly referred to as ePassporte. You understand that opting to receive
commission payments via ePassporte is at your own risk as ePassporte is a third
party electronic payment system. COMPANY does not operate or own the ePassporte
system.
COMPANY
waives all liability that may arise through the use of ePassporte, including
but not limited to technical difficulties or late payments caused by any part
or portion
of the ePassporte system. COMPANY
may
assess
additional
fees
for
paying commission via ePassporte.
If
you
dispute
the
manner
or
amount
of
calculation
of
your commission with regard to any given payment period, you must inform COMPANY
within
sixty (60) days of said payment, otherwise you are deemed to have waived your
right to challenge said payment calculation.
5. NO PASSWORD SITES
We have the right to immediately, and without notice, terminate your participation in the Program if we, in our sole and exclusive judgement, conclude that you use a illegal PASSWORD SITE to advertise TWISTED Cash or any of the programs TWISTED Cash offers, YOU WILL BE BARRED FROM FUTURE PARTICIPATION IN THE PROGRAM AND ALL FUNDS OTHERWISE DUE TO YOU WILL BE FORFEITED TO THE COMPANY.
6. ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY REGARDING BULK E-MAILINGS
We do allow Webmasters to market websites promoted through this Program through the transmission of bulk e-mails, however, it is extremely important that any such mass e-mailings by you conform to our policies. Moreover, you need to be aware of the fact that many service providers, such as America Online, Inc. (AOL), have their own standards and policies when it comes to mass mailings to their members. By way of example, please familiarize yourself with AOL's policy, as most mass mailings will reach at least some, and potentially many, AOL members (e.g., --------@aol.com) http://www.aol.com/info/bulkemail.html.
The marketing of websites promoted by this Program is strictly prohibited if
done through the transmission of unsolicited bulk email. In other words, you
must have a prior business relationship with the e-mail recipient, including
but not limited to having obtained their e-mail address through a verifiable
opt-in procedure. We strongly encourage you to maintain electronic records
of the manner in which you obtain e-mail addresses for use in mailings. This
is because, if we receive a complaint from a person who received a promotional
e-mailing from you, you will need to demonstrate to us that such person did
not receive unsolicited bulk e-mail from you. We also strictly prohibit you
from transmitting e-mail that makes use of or contains invalid or forged headers,
invalid or non-existent domain names or other means of deceptive addressing
(“counterfeit e-mail”). Do NOT do this. We also strictly prohibit you from
transmitting e-mail that is relayed from any third party's mail servers without
the permission of that third party, or which employs similar techniques to
hide or obscure the source of the e-mail. Do NOT do this. The transmission
of unsolicited bulk e-mail, including the transmission of counterfeit e-mail,
may result in civil and criminal penalties against the sender under applicable
federal and/or state law. We do NOT authorize the harvesting or collection
of screen names from any ISP service (for example, AOL) for the purpose of
sending unsolicited e-mail, and will terminate without pay any webmaster determined
to have transmitted bulk emails advertising any websites marketed through this
Program to lists gathered by such methods. Should we determine, in our sole
discretion that you have violated this AUP, be assured that you will be terminated
immediately, will be ineligible to sign up for another account, will not be
paid for any traffic or subscriptions generated prior to the date of termination;
and your registration information may be turned over to complaining parties
(including AOL).
HOW TO REPORT UNSOLICITED BULK E-MAIL
If you believe you are the recipient of unsolicited bulk e-mail from a person or company advertising websites under this Program, please follow this procedure:
Please send your UBE complaint to COMPANY, Nomad Media Inc. Please include
your name, address, telephone number and any information you may have about
the identity of the person or entity that sent the UBE to you. You may be able
to collect information about the sender from the e-mail itself, for instance,
by examining the e-mails “header,” by examining the webpage or by running a
whois query against the webpage domain.
7. Non-Exclusive Limited License and Use of Affiliate Logos and Trademarks.
You grant us a non-exclusive license to utilize your names, titles and logos,
trademarks (collectively the “Affiliate Trademarks”), to advertise, market,
promote and publicize in any manner our rights hereunder. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, we shall not be required to so advertise, market, promote
or publicize. You hereby represent and warrant that you are the sole and exclusive
owner of the Affiliate Trademarks and have the right and power to grant to
us the license to use same in the manner contemplated herein, and such grant
does not or will not (i) breach, conflict with or constitute a default under
any agreement or other instrument applicable to you or binding upon you, or
(ii) infringe upon any trademark, trade name, service mark, copyright, or other
proprietary right of any other person or entity. This license shall terminate
upon the effective date of the expiration or termination of this Agreement.
