1) Term of the Agreement:
The term of this Agreement
will begin upon our acceptance of your Affiliate 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.
2) Relationship of
Parties:
You and 4WebHits.com 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.
3) Referral Commissions
and Payment Procedures:
For a sale which we make as
a result of a direct referral by an affiliate, that affiliate will
receive a commission fee as a percentage of the selling price of
the service or product sold. This is known as a first-tier referral
commission.
For such a sale as described
in the previous paragraph, if the affiliate who made the direct
referral is a sub-affiliate of another affiliate, the second affiliate
will also receive a commission fee as a percentage of the selling
price of the service or product sold. This is known as a second-tier
referral commission.
The amount of referral commissions
due to affiliates will be calculated as a percentage of the actual
selling price of the service or product sold, as follows:

A commission will only be credited
to an affiliate after the customer has made full payment to company.
If a customer later requests a refund or a chargeback is issued
by the credit card holder whose credit card was used to pay for
that customer's account, any commissions that were credited to both
first tier and second tier affiliates will be deducted from the
next monthly payment. If there is no next monthly payment, the affiliate
will be billed and hereby agrees to be bound by law to reimburse
Company in full for any such commissions.
Payments will be issued via
PayPal secure online payment system only, made payable to the affiliate
at the email address the affiliate submits in his or her online
registration. Affiliates must have or create a PayPal account in
order to receive payments. There is no cost to affiliate to create
this account or to receive payments.
Payments
will be issued approximately twenty days (20) after the end of each
calendar month for all commissions earned during the month in question.
If commissions earned during any calendar month are less than $50,
commissions will be accumulated and held until the month in which
the total amount due is at least $50,
at which time payment will be issued for the complete accumulated
amount.
It is the sole responsibility
of affiliates to keep Company updated via their private affiliate's
administration area of any changes in contact information. If a
payment fails to reach an affiliate due to an affiliate's failure
to update contact information, Company reserves the right the consider
the commission as being paid and is not bound to issue a second
payment for that commission in question.
Company reserves the right
to change the terms of the above stated referral commissions and
payment procedures at any time. Any such change will take immediate
effect and will be binding on all affiliates regardless of when
the affiliate first joined the program.
4) SPAMMING PROHIBITED:
Promoting
4WebHits.com via unsolicited email is strictly prohibited, and affiliate
agrees to not reference or link to 4WebHits.com or our services
in any way, shape, or form, in any email that Affiliate sends in
which the recipient has not specifically asked to receive it. In
the case of mailings which are conducted by a third party on Affiliates
behalf, Affiliate assumes full responsibility that the mailing list
is in fact 100% opt-in. Affiliate agrees that 4WebHits.com will
terminate this Agreement and withhold all referral fees due if,
in the sole discretion of 4WebHits.com, Affiliate is found in violation
of this policy.
4) 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

OUR POSTING OF A CHANGE NOTICE OR NEW AGREEMENT ON OUR SITE WILL

this Agreement will be binding on, inure to the benefit of and be
