AFFILIATE AGREEMENT

The Affiliate Program allows Affiliates to refer internet traffic and customers to an ADS Site from website(s) or advertising networks owned or controlled by the Affiliate (“Affiliate Site“) using a Special Link (defined below). If such traffic results in an Action (as defined below), Affiliates may be paid a commission (“Commission“), which may be calculated as a fixed fee, a percentage fee, a bonus or other payment depending upon a program type (e.g., revenue share, pay per order or pay per member) (the “Program Type“) and in accordance with certain rules (“Program Rules“). Each ADS Site may have its own Program Rules, including rules for the manner and calculation of Commissions.

You agree to update such information when required or requested, and you further agree not to use another person’s account without permission. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of, and restricting access to, your Account and password, and you agree to accept sole responsibility for all activities that occur under your Account or password.

3. LIMITED LICENSE TO USE ADVERTISING ASSETS

Affiliate represents and warrants that, if advertising ADS Sites on a web site, that it owns and/or operates the Affiliate Site and desires to place Advertising Assets on the Affiliate Site subject to the terms of this Agreement. ADS makes Advertising Assets available to promote the services of one or more of the ADS Sites. Such Advertising Assets may contain logos, trademarks, service marks and/or identifying words for the ADS Entities, ADS Sites and their products and services (“ADS Services“). You are granted a non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable license to display these Advertising Assets throughout the Affiliate Site, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and ADS’ policies and procedures. You may not alter, change, add to, or otherwise modify any Advertising Asset provided by us.

4. AFFILIATE’S RESPONSIBILITY FOR AFFILIATE SITE AND CONTENT

You will be solely responsible and liable for the development, operation, maintenance and all materials and content that appears on the Affiliate Site. You shall operate and maintain the Affiliate Site in accordance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations. We reserve the right to monitor the Affiliate Site to determine if you are in compliance with this Agreement.

5. MULTIPLE REFERRAL PROGRAM TYPES; MINIMUM THRESHOLD

As an Affiliate, you may participate in multiple Programs Types and be subject to one or more Commission rate schedules (“Schedules“). A current list of Programs Types and Schedules are posted on the applicable ADS Site. Your participation in a specific Program Types may require you to meet minimum thresholds based upon various factors including, but not limited to, the duration, fees paid, conversion ratio, etc. Commissions may be modified for, or excluded from, certain trial, promotional and similar offers. The prices charged to customers of any ADS Site are subject to change at any time. You may not include conflicting price information on the Affiliate Site related to any product or service provided by any ADS Entity or ADS Site. We will use reasonable efforts to present accurate information, but we cannot guarantee the availability or price of any particular product or service that we offer.

6. SPECIAL LINKS ON AFFILIATE SITE; COMMISSION TRACKING AND REPORTING

Special Links permit accurate tracking, reporting, and accrual of your Commission. You may only earn a Commission with respect to activity on the ADS Site occurring directly through Special Links. Special Links may be used alone or in combination with Advertising Assets. We will have no obligation to pay you a Commission if you fail to properly format the links as Special Links, including to the extent that such failure may result in any reduction of Commission fee amounts that would otherwise be paid to you under this Agreement.

Each ADS Site uses commercially accepted methods and practices, which may include session cookies, to track a person’s activities while on the ADS Site. (To learn more about cookies, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_cookie.) Such methods and practices are designed to determine when an Action occurs. Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Program Rules for the Program Type, in order for a Commission to be earned, a person referred from the Affiliate Site to an ADS Site must be tracked by such ADS Site from the time the Special Link to the ADS Site is activated (i.e., “clicked”) until the person completes the member registration process and creates an account with such ADS Site. We will not be liable to you or any other person for any Commissions or other amounts if we are unable to determine that an Action has occurred, whether due to a visitor’s or member’s browser settings, lack of Affiliate ID, antivirus software or otherwise. The cookies are generally set to expire 90 days after a person using an ADS Site terminates his or her browser session. If the cookie session expires before the creation of an account on such ADS Site, you will not earn and will not be entitled to receive a Commission based upon any subsequent Actions taken by such person. If a person completes the member registration process and creates an account on one ADS Site, you only receive a Commission for such person’s subsequent Actions on the same ADS Site, and not any other ADS Site. For purposes of illustration only, if (a) a visitor is directed and comes to an ADS Site from a Special Link on Site A, but does not complete the member registration process and create an account and then later returns to the ADS Site from a Special Link from Site B and creates an account, no Commission is earned by or payable to Site A; or (b) if a visitor is directed and comes to an ADS Site from Site A, but does not complete the membership registration process and create an account and later returns to the ADS Site or another ADS Site and creates an account, and no valid session cookie exists, no Commission is earned by or payable to Site A.

ADS takes commercially reasonable steps to provide you with online access to track and review (a) Actions resulting in Commissions taken by members directed to the ADS Site by the Affiliate Site, (b) Commissions accrued, and (c) certain other information using ADS’ online reporting tools on a password-protected webpage (the “Affiliate Page“). The Affiliate Page is updated “real-time” and is subject to final reconciliation, taking into consideration non-completed transactions, Chargebacks, Credits and other potential charges. The form, content and frequency of the Affiliate Page remain subject to change.

7. NO COMMISSION PAID

Not all paid products or services appearing on a given ADS Site entitle you to a Commission. Any ADS Entity may refuse to permit any person to establish an Account for any reason and may reject any Action that does not meet the ADS Entity’s requirements or policies and procedures in effect from time to time. For purposes of illustration only, an ADS Entity may reject an order for goods or services based upon a credit card with insufficient funds. You shall not earn or be entitled to receive any Commission:

a. attributable to any revenue collected by us arising out of any tax, royalty and/or duty that we, or those acting on our behalf, collect from any person using an ADS Site;

b. paid by us for any SMS, merchant processing or similar fees;

c. results in Chargebacks or Credits; or

d. if the Affiliate is not “Active” as defined by their specific Affiliate Program level (see Appendix).

8. PAYMENT; COMMISSION PAYMENT FLOOR AND SETOFF

ADS’ current policy is to issue, monthly, any Commission payments earned and owing in accordance with the Program Rules for the Program Type (see “Exhibits” at end of this document). All Commissions are payable in U.S. Dollars. To the extent we receive non-U.S. Dollar currency for Actions, such currency will be converted into U.S. Dollars in accordance with ADS’ exchange rate policies and procedures. Commissions are posted to the Affiliate’s online account 1 day after end-user payment.

If the amount accrued to you for any payment of Commissions is less than the minimum amount established by us (the “Commission Payment Floor“), we will hold such payment until the payment period after the total amount accrued is at least equal to the Commission Payment Floor. The Commission Payment Floor is currently $0.01 and subject to change at any time or from time to time in our sole discretion. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify you of any such change in the Commission Payment Floor via email, posting a revised version of this Agreement, posting on the ADS Site, or via other methods.

If a Commission is paid or owed and a subsequent Chargeback or Credit occurs, ADS may, in addition to any other remedies, terminate this Agreement for cause and/or setoff the amount of the Chargeback or Credit and any related fees from any subsequent payments owing to you. If there is no subsequent payment due, ADS will send you an invoice for the amount of the setoff amount, and you agree to pay such invoice no later than ten (10) days following receipt.

In the event that a check issued to you is voided and reissued, ADS reserves the right to charge you a service fee. ADS also reserves the right to void any check that has not been negotiated within six (6) months following the date of its issuance, without further payment or replacement.

Commission payments are made for commissions on Active client accounts only.

9. TAX INFORMATION POLICY; SUSPENSION

Upon enrollment and completion of your Account as an Affiliate, you may be required to complete certain tax documents, e.g., IRS Form W-8, W-9, SS-4, etc. (the “Required Tax Documentation“). ADS may withhold all Commission payments owing to you until such time as you submit the completed Required Tax Documentation. During the period between when you enroll as an Affiliate and create an Account, and the time you submit the Required Tax Documentation, you may provide Special Links to the ADS Sites from the Affiliate Site, Commissions will begin to accrue, and you may have access to the Reports Page. If you fail to submit the Required Tax Documentation within thirty (30) days of your enrollment and establishment of an Account, ADS may suspend your Account until such time as you submit the Required Tax Documentation or, alternatively, ADS may terminate this Agreement immediately. Any Commissions accrued shall be forfeited should your account be suspended or terminated for your failure to submit the Required Tax Documentation.

10. ORDER PROCESSING; OWNERSHIP OF CUSTOMER INFORMATION

The ADS Entities are solely responsible for processing and fulfilling all orders for customers of the ADS Sites, including but not limited to, order entry, payment processing, shipping, cancellations, credits, returns and related customer service. Visitors and members of the ADS Sites will be considered customers of the applicable ADS Entities for all purposes, and all ADS Site terms, policies, rules and procedures will govern the customer relationship between the ADS Entities and such customers. As between the parties, the ADS Entities own any information pertaining to any person or customer who accesses any ADS Site. All orders must be paid for by the end-user customer. Affiliates are forbidden from creating accounts or using their payment card to make purchases or payments for ADS services, masquerading as the end-user. The purpose of this restriction is to (1) eliminate the possibility that the Affiliate is “reselling” the ADS services at a price different that what ADS would normally charge the end-user; an (2), to remove the possibility of an Affiliate interjecting themselves between the client and ADS, which reduces the ability for ADS to contact the client directly and limits the client’s access to ADS services and support.

11. NON-EXCLUSIVE LIMITED LICENSE TO USE ADS MARKS

The applicable ADS Entity grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable and limited license to use the logos, trade names, trademarks, service marks, and similar identifying material specified by such ADS Entity on the applicable ADS Site or in such ADS Entity’s Program Rules (“ADS Marks“) solely for the purpose of advertising the ADS Services through the use of Advertising Assets in accordance with Section 3, subject to and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, you hereby agree:

a. to refrain from purchasing, bidding on, or otherwise obtaining or using keywords incorporating or otherwise based upon the ADS Marks on search engines (e.g., google.com, yahoo.com and bing.com);

b. to not use or place the ADS Marks on or with any items that are injurious to end-users or their property, including but not limited to, items that could give rise to a claim for a breach of an express or implied warranty or product liability, or which is scandalous, libelous, obscene, an invasion of privacy or otherwise unlawful or tortious;

c. to use the ADS Marks exactly in the form provided and in conformance with any trademark usage policies, guidelines and quality standards of the ADS Entities and not to alter, modify or change the ADS Marks in any way;

d. to furnish, upon request, at no charge to the ADS Entities, a representative specimen of your use of the ADS Marks;

e. if, at any time, your use of the ADS Marks fails to conform to the ADS Entities’ trademark usage policies, guidelines or quality standards, to promptly remove the ADS Marks from the Affiliate Site;

f. not to take any Action inconsistent with the ADS Entities’ ownership of the ADS Marks;

g. not to use the ADS Marks in any manner that is disparaging or that otherwise portrays the ADS Entities in a negative or misleading light;

h. not to create a website or web page that uses the ADS Marks in a manner that is likely to be confused (e.g., similar designs, graphics, look and feel) with one or more websites operated by the ADS Entities;

i. not to use, register or file an application to register a trademark, service mark, domain name, user name, account name or other proprietary designation incorporating the ADS Marks, or any variation of the ADS Marks, whether they are used alone, in part, or in combination with other words (e.g., “grocerystoretenderonline”) or are based upon typographical errors or misspellings (e.g., “stortender”, “storetendir”, etc.) (“Prohibited Designation“); and

j. to notify ADS promptly upon becoming aware of any improper use of the ADS Marks and reasonably cooperate with ADS (at ADS’ request) in the protection of the ADS Marks.

You may only use the ADS Marks to the extent that you advertise ADS Services pursuant to this Agreement. We reserve all intellectual property and proprietary rights in and to the ADS Marks, and any and all goodwill generated by your use of the ADS Marks shall inure solely to the benefit of the ADS Entities. You recognize the great value of the goodwill associated with the ADS Marks, and you acknowledge and agree that the ADS Marks and all rights therein and goodwill pertaining thereto are valid and belong exclusively to the ADS Entities, and that the ADS Entities have the exclusive right to use and authorize others to use the ADS Marks.

The license granted to you pursuant to this Section may be revoked at any time for any reason and shall terminate upon expiration or termination of this Agreement.

If you have previously used or registered any Prohibited Designation, (i) upon request, or (ii) if no request has been made, upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, you agree to transfer all of your rights in the Prohibited Designation and the associated goodwill to us within ten (10) days thereafter. In such case, we shall pay you a reasonable fee to cover the expenses necessary to transfer the Prohibited Designation, but in no instance will the amount exceed $100 per domain or $500 for all domains. You hereby grant an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest to all or any of the ADS Entities to take all steps necessary to effectuate the transfer of the Prohibited Designation to the ADS Entities in the event that you fail to comply with the terms of this Section. Without limiting the foregoing, you specifically agree not to use the Prohibited Designations to promote the goods or services of you or any third parties.

12. NON-EXCLUSIVE LIMITED LICENSE TO USE YOUR MARKS

You hereby grant the ADS Entities a non-exclusive, transferable, world-wide license to utilize your name(s), titles, logos, and trademarks (“Your Marks“) to advertise, market, promote and publicize in any manner the ADS Services, the ADS Sites and our rights hereunder.

You hereby represent and warrant that you are the sole and exclusive owner of Your Marks and/or have all necessary rights and power to grant to us the license to use Your Marks in the manner contemplated herein, and such grant does and will not (a) breach, conflict with, or constitute a default under any agreement or other instrument applicable to you or binding upon you, or (b) infringe upon any trademark, trade name, service mark, copyright, or other proprietary right of any other person or entity. This license shall terminate immediately following the effective date of termination of this Agreement.

STORETENDERONLINE.COM

Value-Added Affiliate Program Terms / Program Rules

The ADS Site STORETENDERONLINE.COM has the following Value-Added Affiliate Program terms:

Valid referrals to the STORETENDERONLINE.COM site which result in a paid StoreTender subscription will earn the referring Value-Added Affiliate a percentage commission of the base service recurring fees (paid monthly or annually) for as long as the client remains a paying customer with ADS, subject to the conditions below. To qualify, in addition to the terms and conditions of the Affiliate Agreement, the Affiliate must maintain an active account with ADS, and:

a. Meet all the requirements of the Affiliate Agreement;

b. Be a bonafide and verifiable Value-Added Affiliate (or the equivalent) of point of sale systems, engaged in providing consultation, sales, installation, configuration of software solutions and training and support services to their clients;

c. Activate at least four (4) new referral clients in each twelve (12) month period, who purchase paid StoreTender subscription services or software from STORETENDERONLINE.COM;

1. A referral client is defined as a single account, regardless of the number of locations or software subscriptions;

d. Participate in Value-Added Affiliate certification training held online by ADS staff;

e. Pass a certification examination as administered by ADS;

f. Provide Tier 1 support to their clients for ADS software and services. Value-Added Affiliate agrees to provide, at minimum, email and/or phone support to their clients with StoreTender software. In no event shall a Value-Added Affiliate refuse StoreTender software support to their client or, in lieu of providing said support, refer their client to ADS for support, without ADS’ prior consent, and;

g. Pay the one-time Affiliate Signup Fee of $595.00. This fee covers the cost of onboarding, demo software license(s) and your initial online training session with our staff.

Value-Added Affiliates who are unable to meet or maintain the terms as described above shall not be allowed to continue participation in the Value-Added Affiliate Program, and this Agreement shall terminate.

The end-user (Referral Client) may elect to terminate the relationship with the Affiliate and request that ADS perform support and other related services directly. In that event, and in the sole discretion of ADS, due to the increased support burden on ADS, the Affiliate shall be removed from the referral account and forfeit all future commissions for that referral account.

Commissions are paid on StoreTender base software subscriptions and merchant processing residuals only (“Qualified Revenue”). For example, if you refer a client who purchases a monthly subscription to StoreTender Online Pro and the same customer purchases Premium Support and hardware, the Affiliate commission is based on the Pro subscription only, and not the add-on or hardware. “Qualified Revenue” is:

  • StoreTender Pro, HQ or RF Server (Monthly or Annual Subscriptions) – Online or Self-Hosted versions.

 

Add even more revenue by activating integrated merchant processing for your StoreTender merchant. If the merchant selects integrated merchant processing through us, you’ll receive a percentage of the residual (profit) earned, in addition to your software subscription commission. All merchant processing accounts are boarded through Aloha Data Systems. We do not board integrated merchant processing through other (third) parties, including our Affiliates. Integrated merchant processing requires client subscription to Datacap NETePay/GIFTePay (available through ADS).

Commissions are posted to the Affiliate’s Account one day after end-user payment. Commission payments are processed at the beginning of each month for commissions earned the previous month. Payment is via check, mailed to the Affiliate Account address on file. ADS reserves the right to make payment via other methods, including (but not limited to) PayPal or ACH. Should ADS adopt a different payment method, Affiliate agrees to perform the steps necessary to accept that payment method.

Service pricing is solely at ADS’ discretion and subject to change at any time, with or without notice. Pricing for most ADS Services can be found on the Shop page of our web site. Additionally, the Terms under which our Services are provided to end-users is defined in the Terms of Service and End User License Agreement pages of our web site.
