1.DESCRIPTION OF THE PROGRAM

The purpose of the Program is to permit you to advertise our Products on Your Site and to earn Affiliate Commissions for Qualifying Purchases (defined in Section 7) made by your end users. A “Product” is any item sold on our site, other than any products that are explicitly defined as excluded products defined in the exclusions table in the Affiliate Program Commissions Schedule (collectively, “Excluded Products”). Product may also include certain services, if any, expressly included on the Affiliate Program Commissions Schedule. In order to facilitate your advertisement of Products, we may make available to you data, images, text, link formats, widgets, links, and other linking tools, and other information in connection with the Program ("Content"). Content specifically excludes any data, images, text, or other information or content relating to products offered on any site other than the Partner Site.

2. ENROLLMENT

To begin the enrollment process, you must submit a complete and accurate application to participate in the Program. You must identify Your Site in your application. We will evaluate your application and notify you of its acceptance or rejection. We may reject your application in our sole discretion including if we determine that Your Site is unsuitable.

If we reject your application, you are welcome to reapply at any time. However, if we accept your application and we later determine that Your Site is unsuitable, we may terminate this Operating Agreement at any time in our sole discretion.

You will ensure that the information in your Program application and otherwise associated with your account, including your email address and other contact information and identification of Your Site, is at all times complete, accurate, and up-to-date. We may send notifications (if any), approvals (if any), and other communications relating to the Program and this Operating Agreement to the email address then-currently associated with your Program account. You will be deemed to have received all notifications, approvals, and other communications sent to that email address, even if the email address associated with your account is no longer current.

We will have no obligation to pay you Affiliate Commissions if you fail to properly format the links on Your Site to the Partner Site as Special Links, including to the extent that such failure may result in any reduction of Affiliate Commissions amounts that would otherwise be paid to you under this Operating Agreement.
