| Affiliate Program Operating
Agreement
This Agreement contains the complete terms and conditions
that apply to an individual's or entity's participation
in the FindThatFilm.com Affiliate Program (the "Program").
As used in this Agreement, "we" means FindThatFilm.com,
dba FindThatFilm.com, "you" means the applicant, and "Product" means
any item or items offered for sale in the FindThatFilm.com
catalogue. "Site" means a World Wide Web site and, depending
on the context, refers either to FindThatFilm.com's site
or to the site that you will link to our site.
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, for example, sites
that:
- promote sexually explicit materials;
- promote violence;
- promote discrimination based on race, sex, religion,
nationality, disability, sexual orientation or age;
- promote illegal activities; or
- violate intellectual property rights.
If we reject your application, you are welcome to re-apply
to the Program at any time.
Order Processing
We will process Product orders placed by customers who
follow the special link from your site to FindThatFilm.com.
We reserve the right to reject orders that do not comply
with any requirements that we periodically may establish.
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
will handle customer service. We will track sales made
to customers who purchase Product using special links from
your site to our catalogue and will send you reports summarizing
this sales activity. The form, content and frequency of
the reports may vary from time to time in our discretion.
To permit accurate tracking, reporting and fee accrual,
you must ensure that the special links between your site
and our site are properly formatted.
Referral Fees
We will pay you referral fees on certain Product sales
to third parties. For a Product sale to generate a referral
fee, the customer must follow a special link from your
site to our site, purchase Product using our automated
ordering system, accept delivery of the Product at the
shipping destination and remit full payment to us. The
referral fee is paid for all Product purchased by each
unique customer following the special link from your Site
to FindThatFilm.com. The Program is intended for commercial
use only, and you may not purchase Product through the
Program for your own use. Such purchases may result (in
our sole discretion) in the withholding of referral fees
or the termination of this Agreement.
Fee Schedule
You will earn referral fees based on the sale price of
qualifying Product, according to fee schedules to be established
by us from time to time. Sale price means the sale price
listed in our catalogue and excludes shipping, handling,
gift wrapping and taxes. The current fee schedule is:
- 5% for Product that, on the date of order, is listed
in our catalogue.
Fee Payment
We will pay you referral fees on a quarterly basis. Approximately
30 days following the end of each calendar quarter, we
will send you a check for the referral fees earned on Product
that was shipped during that quarter, less any taxes that
we are required by law to withhold. However, if the fees
payable to you for any calendar quarter are less than £50,
we will send you a check semi-annually. If Product that
generated a referral fee is returned by the customer, we
will deduct the corresponding fee from your next quarterly
payment. If there is no subsequent payment, we will send
you a bill for the fee.
Policies and Pricing
Customers who buy Product through this Program will be
deemed to be customers of FindThatFilm.com. Accordingly,
all FindThatFilm.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 Product
sold under this Program in accordance with our own pricing
policies. Product prices and availability may vary from
time to time.
Limited License
We grant you a non-exclusive, revocable right to use
the icon and message described in Section 8, and such other
images for which we grant express permission, solely for
the purpose of identifying your site as a Program participant.
You may not modify the icon, the message or any of our
images in any way. We reserve all of our rights in the
icon, the message, any other images, our trade names and
trademarks and all other intellectual property rights.
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 catalogue;
- the accuracy and appropriateness of materials posted
on your site (including, among other things, all Product-related
materials);
- for 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); and
- for 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 Agreements
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. You are only eligible
to earn referral fees on sales occurring during the term,
and fees earned through the date of termination will remain
payable only if the related Product 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, 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 to this Agreement.
Disclaimers
We make no express or implied warranties or representations
with respect to the Program or any Product 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. 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 California, 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 Los Angeles, California, and you irrevocably
consent 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.
