1. ENROLLMENT

In order to enroll in the Business’ Affiliate Program, Affiliate must complete an application form for each website through which Affiliate desires to promote the Programs, Products and Services, and Program or Training Materials sold through the Affiliate Program. Applicant agrees that any registration information provided to the Business will always be accurate, correct and up to date and that the account will not be used for any illegal or unauthorized purpose. Applications will be evaluated by the Business and Business reserves the right to deny entrance into its Affiliate Program to any applicant that is deemed unqualified for any reason, at Business’s sole and absolute discretion.

2. TERM

The term of this Agreement shall be exactly one year from the date on which you first become an Affiliate or Facilitator. At the end of the term, this Agreement will automatically renew for an additional one-year term unless cancelled by either party in accordance with Paragraph 3.

3. TERMINATION

Business or Affiliate may terminate this Agreement for any reason by providing 30 days written notice to the other party. The Cancellation Date will be the date which is 30 days after the date written notice is sent.

Failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement will result in immediate cancellation of this Agreement by the Business and forfeiture by Affiliate of any accrued, unpaid commissions. Business shall pay any pending commissions owed to Affiliate through the Cancellation Date, if a cancellation of this Agreement occurs for any reason other than a violation of this Agreement on the part of the Affiliate.

Upon cancellation by either party, Affiliate’s limited license to use the intellectual property of Business for the purpose of promoting the Programs, Products and Services, and Program or Training Materials offered through the Affiliate Program, will cease as of the Cancellation Date.

The Business reserves the right to terminate this Agreement if the Affiliate behaves in a manner which, at the sole discretion of the Business, is likely to damage the reputation of the Business.

4. PROMOTIONAL MATERIALS

Business shall make available to Affiliate certain banner advertisements, button links, text links, and/or other graphic or textual material for display and use on the Affiliate website and in the Affiliate’s e-mail marketing and social media marketing (the “Promotional Materials”). Affiliate shall display the Promotional Materials on Affiliate’s website prominently and as Affiliate sees fit, provided that the manner of display shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Affiliate shall also include a link from the Promotional Materials to Business’s website, as specified by the Business.

5. USE OF PROMOTIONAL MATERIALS

The Affiliate’s use and display of the Promotional Materials on the Affiliate’s website shall conform to the following terms, conditions and specifications:

3.       Affiliate will not alter, add to, subtract from, or otherwise modify the Promotional Materials provided by Business.

The Affiliate shall be paid Commissions only on sales that are tracked through the Business’s online tracking system and indicate the Link as the source.

Commissions will be adjusted for orders that are cancelled, returned, or where payment is otherwise refunded to the purchaser. All payments will be made by PayPal to the Affiliate via the email address provided unless other arrangements are approved by the Business.

d. In the event that the amount of Commissions due to the Affiliate are fifty dollars in Canadian currency ($50) or less, that sum will be kept by Business and paid in the next 60 Day Cycle in which the sum owing is fifty-one dollars in Canadian currency ($51) or more.
