You agree to keep the terms and conditions outlined in this agreement by filling in the web application form. If you do not accept this agreement, you are not authorized to be an Affiliate, and may not use our links, graphics, and utilities on your website.
- SIMPLE STATEMENT OF RELATIONSHIP. The Sales Resource Center™ enters into a relationship with you as an Affiliate, to reward you with a commission each time someone subscribes to The Sales Resource Center, as a result of clicking on a Qualified Link on your website, according to the provisions in this Agreement. You and The Sales Resource Center 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.
- QUALIFIED LINK means a hyperlink to The Sales Resource Center website, which we will provide you. These include sophisticated HTML code. If the HTML code is altered in any way after copying from that webpage, we take no responsibility for you receiving credit for any sale. Any change you make may cause the tracking to no longer function correctly.
- TRACKING. When someone clicks on a Qualified Link on your site, a cookie will be set in their browser with your affiliate ID, and their IP address will be logged with your affiliate ID. During that visit to our website or any later visit, when a purchase is made, the commission will be given based on the existence of the cookie or a match of the IP address in the database. You agree not to challenge or dispute the sales tracking performed by the affiliate management software we select to administer this program.
- PAY-PER-SALE. Our Affiliate Program pays the Affiliate only when a sale results from a visitor who was sent by a Qualified Link on the Affiliate’s website. If the sale does not occur within 365 days of the visitor passing through the Affiliate link, no payment will be made. If a visitor passes through qualified links from two different Affiliates before making a purchase, then the most recent link is credited with the sale.
