Agreement
By signing up to be an Affiliate in the Trademetria Affiliate Program ("Program") you are
agreeing to be bound by the following terms and conditions ("Terms of
Service").
Trademetria reserves the right to update and change the Terms of Service from
time to time without notice. Any new features that augment or enhance the current Program, including the release
of new tools and resources, shall be subject to the Terms of Service. Continued use of the Program after any
such changes shall constitute your consent to such changes.
Violation of any of the terms below will
result in the termination of your Account and for forfeiture of any outstanding affiliate commission payments
earned during the violation. You agree to use the Affiliate Program at your own risk.
Account Terms
- You must be 18 years or older to be part of this Program.
- You must be a human. Accounts registered by "bots" or other automated methods are not permitted.
- You must provide your legal full name, a valid email address, and any other information requested in
order to complete the signup process.
- Your login may only be used by one person - a single login shared by multiple people is not permitted.
- You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and password.
Trademetria cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage from your failure to
comply with this security obligation.
- You are responsible for all Content posted and activity that occurs under your account.
- One person or legal entity may not maintain more than one account.
- You may not use the Affiliate Program for any illegal or unauthorized purpose. You must not, in the use
of the Service, violate any laws in your jurisdiction (including but not limited to copyright laws).
- You may not use the Affiliate Program to earn money on your own Trademetria product
accounts.
Links/graphics on your site, in your emails, or other communications
Once you have signed up for the
Affiliate Program, you will be assigned a unique Affiliate Code. You are permitted to place links, banners, or
other graphics we provide with your Affiliate Code on your site, in your emails, or in other communications. We
will provide you with guidelines, link styles, and graphical artwork to use in linking to
Trademetria. We may change the design of the artwork at any time without notice, but we won't
change the dimensions of the images without proper notice.
To permit accurate tracking, reporting, and
referral fee accrual, we will provide you with special link formats to be used in all links between your site
and the
Trademetria. You must ensure that each of the links between your site and the
Trademetria
properly utilizes such special link formats. Links to the
Trademetria placed on your site
pursuant to this Agreement and which properly utilize such special link formats are referred to as "Special
Links." You will earn referral fees only with respect to sales on a
Trademetria product
occurring directly through Special Links; we will not be liable to you with respect to any failure by you or
someone you refer to use Special Links or incorrectly type your Affiliate Code, including to the extent that
such failure may result in any reduction of amounts that would otherwise be paid to you pursuant to this
Agreement.
Affiliate links should point to the page of the product being promoted.
Referral fees/commissions and payment
For a Product sale to be eligible to earn a referral fee, the
customer must click-through a Special Link from your site, email, or other communications to
our site
and complete an order for a product during that session.
We will only pay commissions on links that are
automatically tracked and reported by our systems. We will not pay commissions if someone says they purchased or
someone says they entered a referral code if it was not tracked by our system. We can only pay commissions on
business generated through properly formatted special links that were automatically tracked by our
systems.
We reserve the right to disqualify commissions earned through fraudulent, illegal, or overly
aggressive, questionable sales or marketing methods.
Payments only begin once you've earned more than
$30 in affiliate income. If your affiliate account never crosses the
$30
threshold, your commissions will not be realized or paid. We are only responsible for paying accounts that have
crossed the
minimum payout threshold described on our affiliates program page.
Identifying yourself as a Trademetria Affiliate
You may not issue any press release with respect to
this Agreement or your participation in the Program; such action may result in your termination from the
Program. In addition, you may not in any manner misrepresent or embellish the relationship between us and you,
say you develop our products, say you are part of
Trademetria or express or imply any
relationship or affiliation between us and you or any other person or entity except as expressly permitted by
this Agreement (including by expressing or implying that we support, sponsor, endorse, or contribute money to
any charity or other cause).
You may not purchase products through your affiliate links for your own use.
Such purchases may result (in our sole discretion) in the withholding of referral fees and/or the termination of
this Agreement.
Payment schedule
If you have commissions due, you'll be paid between 30 and 45 days from sale date.
Customer definition
Customers who buy products through this Program will be deemed to be our
customers. Accordingly, all of our 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 products sold under this
Program in accordance with our own pricing policies. Product prices and availability may vary from time to time.
Because price changes may affect Products that you have listed on your site, you should not display product
prices on your site. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to present accurate information, but we cannot
guarantee the availability or price of any particular product.
Your responsibilities
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
- Ensuring the display of Special Links on your site does not violate any agreement between you and any
third party (including without limitation any restrictions or requirements placed on you by a third
party that hosts your site)
- The accuracy, truth, and appropriateness of materials posted on your site (including, among other
things, all Product-related materials and any information you include within or associate with Special
Links)
- 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)
- Ensuring that materials posted on your site are not libelous or otherwise illegal
- Ensuring that your site accurately and adequately discloses, either through a privacy policy or
otherwise, how you collect, use, store, and disclose data collected from visitors, including, where
applicable, that third parties (including advertisers) may serve content and/or advertisements and
collect information directly from visitors and may place or recognize cookies on visitors' browsers.
Compliance with Laws
As a condition to your participation in the Program, you agree that while you
are a Program participant you will comply with all laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, orders, licenses,
permits, judgments, decisions or other requirements of any governmental authority that has jurisdiction over
you, whether those laws, etc. are now in effect or later come into effect during the time you are a Program
participant. Without limiting the foregoing obligation, you agree that as a condition of your participation in
the Program you will comply with all applicable laws (federal, state or otherwise) that govern marketing email,
including without limitation, the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 and all other anti-spam laws.
Term of the Agreement and Program
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. Upon the
termination of this Agreement for any reason, you will immediately cease use of, and remove from your site, all
links to
our site, and all of our trademarks, trade dress, and logos,
and all other materials provided by or on behalf of us to you pursuant hereto or in connection with the Program.
Trademetria reserves the right to end the Program at any time. Upon program termination,
Trademetria will pay any outstanding earnings accrued above
minimum threshold.
Termination
Trademetria, in its sole discretion, has the right to suspend or
terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Program, or any other
Trademetria
service, for any reason at any time. Such termination of the Service will result in the deactivation or deletion
of your Account or your access to your Account, and the forfeiture and relinquishment of all potential or
to-be-paid commissions in your Account if they were earned through fraudulent, illegal, or overly aggressive,
questionable sales or marketing methods.
Trademetria reserves the right to refuse service to
anyone for any reason at any time.
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.
Limitations 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 this
Agreement.
Disclaimers
We make no express or implied warranties or representations with respect to the Program
or any products sold through the Program (including, without limitation, warranties of fitness, merchantability,
noninfringement, 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 the
Trademetria will be uninterrupted
or error-free, and we will not be liable for the consequences of any interruptions or errors.

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

breach hereof), any transactions or activities under this Agreement or your relationship with us or any of our
affiliates shall be submitted to confidential arbitration, except that, to the extent you have in any manner
violated or threatened to violate our intellectual property rights, we may seek injunctive or other appropriate
relief in any state or federal court (and you consent to non-exclusive jurisdiction and venue in such courts) or
any other court of competent jurisdiction. Arbitration under this agreement shall be conducted under the rules
then prevailing of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator's award shall be binding and may be
entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
no arbitration under this Agreement shall be joined to an arbitration involving any other party subject to this
Agreement, whether through class arbitration proceedings or otherwise.
Miscellaneous
This Agreement will be governed by the laws of The United States, without reference to
rules governing choice of laws. 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.
The failure of
Trademetria to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms of Service shall not
constitute a waiver of such right or provision. The Terms of Service constitutes the entire agreement between
you and
Trademetria and govern your use of the Service, superceding any prior agreements
between you and
Trademetria (including, but not limited to, any prior versions of the Terms of
Service).
