Our Affiliate Agreement
This Master
Agreement ("Agreement") is made between HealthKeeper
Inc. ("Merchant") and the Affiliate
("Partner").
Partner and
Merchant desire to establish the general terms and conditions
which shall govern advertising and commission arrangements
between Partner and Merchant which result from their
participation in HealthKeeper Affiliate program.
In
consideration of the promises set forth below, we agree as
follows:
1. Offers and
Engagements.
1.1. From time
to time, Merchant may post on the HealthKeeper web site offers
to pay to other participants a specified commission in return
for certain advertising services leading to a Qualified sale,
defined as a sale made that has been finalized by passing the 90
day return mark from the date of purchase. If such offers
receive an identification number from Affiliate order tracking
system they shall be deemed to be an "Offer" for
purposes of this Agreement. The term "Offer" shall
also include any counter-offers resulting from an Offer.
1.2. If an
Offer made by one party is accepted by the other party in
accordance with the Offer's terms via the Affiliate order
tracking system, an "Engagement" will have been
formed. Each Engagement shall have the same identification
number as the original Offer that lead to the Engagement and
shall be governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
However, in the event of any inconsistency between the terms of
the specific Engagement and the terms of this Agreement, the
terms of the Engagement shall govern.
1.3. At any
time prior to Partner providing a Qualifying sale, Merchant may
with or without notice
(a) change,
suspend or discontinue any aspect of an Offer or an Engagement
or
(b) remove,
alter, or modify any graphic or banner ad submitted by Merchant
for an Offer or an Engagement. Partner agrees to promptly
implement any request from Merchant to remove, alter or modify
any graphic or banner ad submitted by Merchant that is being
used by Partner as part of an Engagement.
2. Partner's
Responsibilities.
2.1. Partner
will link its site to areas within Merchant's site using special
URLs specified in the Engagement (the "Required
URLs"). Merchant may also use Merchant provided referral
codes for promotion off the Internet. Partner may post as many
links to the Required URLs and the rest of Merchant's site as it
likes on Partner's site. The position, prominence and nature of
links on the Partner's site shall comply with any requirements
specified in the Engagement, but otherwise will be in the
discretion of Partner.
2.2. Partner
agrees not to make any representations, warranties or other
statements concerning Merchant, Merchant's site, any of
Merchant's products or services, or Merchant's site policies,
except as expressly authorized by the Engagement.
2.3. Partner is
responsible for notifying Merchant of any malfunctioning of the
Required URLs or other problems with Partner's participation in
the Engagement. Merchant will respond promptly to all concerns
upon notification by Partner.
3. Commissions.
3.1. Merchant
agrees to pay Partner the commission specified in the Engagement
if Merchant sells to a visitor to Merchant's site (a
"Customer") a product or service that is the subject
of the Engagement and if that Customer has accessed Merchant's
site and purchased the product or service via the partners
tracked referral and/or Qualifying Link.
3.2. A
"Qualifying Link" is a link from Partner's site to
Merchant's using one of the Required URLs or any other URL
provided by Merchant for use in Affiliate order tracking system
if it is the last link to the Merchant's site that the Customer
uses during a Session where a sale of a product or a service to
Customer occurs. A "Session" is the period of time
beginning from a Customer's initial contact with Merchant's site
via a link from the Partner's site and terminating when the
Customer either returns to the Merchant's site via a link from a
site other than Partner's site or the Engagement expires or is
terminated.
3.3. Merchant
shall have the sole right and responsibility for processing all
orders made by Customers. Partner acknowledges that all
agreements relating to sales to Customers shall be between
Merchant and the Customer.
3.4. All
determinations of Qualifying Links and whether a commission is
payable will be made by the Merchant using the Affiliate order
tracking system and will be final and binding on both Merchant
and Partner. Prices for the products will be set solely by
Merchant in its discretion.
4. Ownership
and Licenses.
4.1. Each party
owns and shall retain all right, title and interest in its
names, logos, trademarks, service marks, trade dress, copyrights
and proprietary technology, including, without limitation, those
names, logos, trademarks, service marks, trade dress, copyrights
and proprietary technology currently used or which may be
developed and/or used by it in the future.
4.2. Merchant
grants Partner a revocable, non-exclusive, worldwide license to
use, reproduce and transmit the name, logos, trademarks, service
marks, trade dress and proprietary technology, as designated in
the Engagement, on Partner's site solely for the purpose of
creating links from Partner's site to Merchant's site during
Engagements. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or
permitted by applicable law, Partner may not copy, distribute,
modify, reverse engineer, or create derivative works from the
same. Partner may not sublicense, assign or transfer any such
licenses for the use of the same, and any attempt at such
sublicense, assignment or transfer is void.
4.3. Partner
grants Merchant a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license
to use, reproduce and transmit any graphic or banner ad
submitted by Partner solely for co-branding purposes or as a
return link from Merchant's site to Partner's site. Merchant
will remove such graphic or banner ad upon Partner's request.
5. Termination.
5.1. Either
party may terminate any Engagement at any time by deleting their
acceptance of the Engagement through written notice. Termination
of an Engagement shall not terminate this Agreement or any other
Engagement.
5.2. Either
party may terminate this Agreement at any time, for any reason,
provided that they provide at least five day's prior written
notice of such termination to the other party. Termination of
this Agreement shall also terminate any outstanding Engagements.

provisions which by their terms are intended to survive
termination, shall survive termination of this Agreement.
