| 1. Enrollment in this Program.
To begin the enrollment process,
you will submit a completed Program Application
through our website http://www.damcash.com/. We
will evaluate your application in good faith and
will notify you of your acceptance or rejection.
We will reject your application if we determine
that you have provided inaccurate or incomplete
signup information, determine that you are under
18 years of age (21 in some jurisdictions) or
determine that your site is unsuitable for the
Program for any reason, including, but not limited
to, if your site incorporates images or content
that is unlawful, defamatory, obscene, harassing
or otherwise objectionable, such as sites that
facilitate illegal activity or promote violence
or promote or assist others in promoting copyright
infringement (collectively, “Content Restrictions”).
Again, you must be at least eighteen (18) years
of age (or older if legal age of majority is more
than 18) to participate in this Program.
2. Utilizing Links on Your Site.
As an affiliate website of COMPANY
(“Affiliate Site”), you may use any
form of promotion you choose, consistent with
the terms of this Agreement. You may use banner
advertisements, button links and/or text links
to our site (the “Links”), however,
you cannot employ deceptive language or misleading
URL’s in the Links, and you CANNOT MARKET
BY SENDING UNSOLICITED BULK E-MAILS!!! (As used
herein, UBE, or “Spam” refers to the
transmission of unsolicited bulk e-mails, i.e.,
not derived from a verifiable opt-in program or
sent absent a prior business relationship with
the recipient). Any activity by you or on your
behalf that we determine or reasonably suspect
to be the result of an unsolicited bulk e-mail
program will result in your immediate termination
from the Program and your forfeiting of monies
otherwise due you hereunder. (For further guidelines
on this topic, please see Section 5, below.) Allowable
promotional links may contain COMPANY’s
trade names, service marks, and/or logos for display
on your Affiliate Site. Subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, you are granted a limited,
non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access
and download such Links and other designated promotional
materials for placement on your Affiliate Site
for the sole and exclusive purpose of promoting
websites owned, operated or controlled by COMPANY.
In utilizing the Links, you agree that you will
cooperate fully with us in order to establish
and maintain such Link or Links. A Link may only
be visually modified with our consent.
3. Commissions.
The Program comes in one form of commission payout:
payout based on Percent for registration.
Percent for registration: We
will pay you a commission equal to 55% from sign-up/recurring
coming from your Links up to a maximum of 50 signups
per pay period. Sign-ups in excess of 50 per period
shall receive a commission of 65.00% from sign-up/recurring
over the 50 base.
The Commission Rate is subject
to change from time to time, upon e-mail notice
to you and commencing the 30-days following such
notice. Note that a commission will only be paid
if the visitor to our site can be tracked by the
system from the time of the Link to the time of
the sale. No commission will be paid if the visitor's
payment to our site cannot be tracked directly
to your site by our system or if full payment
for services is not made to us by the customer.
No commission will be paid for signups by you
or anyone within your organization.
4. Commission Payment.
Commissions due and owing to
you under the Program will be paid to you directly
by COMPANY on a bi-weekly basis for the prior
2 weeks activity. Payments due and owing to you
for a pay period of less than $100.00 will be
rolled over into subsequent payment periods until
at least $100.00 is reached, at which time you
will receive payment. Payments will be in the
form of a ePassporte, Finex, Fethard, Wire Transfer
in US dollars payable to you, as identified in
your application. You may request and receive payment via bank wire transfer,
provided, you pay the costs associated with the wire.
Payment via wire is available only for payments of $500 or more for said pay period.
5. ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY REGARDING BULK
E-MAILINGS
We do allow Webmasters to market
websites promoted through this Program through
the transmission of bulk e-mails, however, it
is extremely important that any such mass e-mailings
by you conform to our policies. Moreover, you
need to be aware of the fact that many service
providers, such as America Online, Inc. (AOL),
have their own standards and policies when it
comes to mass mailings to their members. By way
of example, please familiarize yourself with AOL’s
policy, as most mass mailings will reach at least
some, and potentially many, AOL members (e.g.,
--------@aol.com) http://www.aol.com/info/bulkemail.html.
The marketing of websites promoted
by this Program is strictly prohibited if done
through the transmission of unsolicited bulk email.
In other words, you must have a prior business
relationship with the e-mail recipient, including
but not limited to having obtained their e-mail
address through a verifiable opt-in procedure.
We strongly encourage you to maintain electronic
records of the manner in which you obtain e-mail
addresses for use in mailings. This is because,
if we receive a complaint from a person who received
a promotional e-mailing from you, you will need
to demonstrate to us that such person did not
receive unsolicited bulk e-mail from you.
We also strictly prohibit you from transmitting
e-mail that makes use of or contains invalid or
forged headers, invalid or non-existent domain
names or other means of deceptive addressing (“counterfeit
e-mail”). Do NOT do this.
We also strictly prohibit you from transmitting
e-mail that is relayed from any third party's
mail servers without the permission of that third
party, or which employs similar techniques to
hide or obscure the source of the e-mail. Do NOT
do this.
The transmission of unsolicited bulk e-mail, including
the transmission of counterfeit e-mail, may result
in civil and criminal penalties against the sender
under applicable federal and/or state law.
We do NOT authorize the harvesting or collection
of screen names from any ISP service (for example,
AOL) for the purpose of sending unsolicited e-mail,
and will terminate without pay any webmaster determined
to have transmitted bulk emails advertising any
websites marketed through this Program to lists
gathered by such methods.
Should we determine, in our sole discretion that
you have violated this AUP, be assured that you
will be terminated immediately, will be ineligible
to sign up for another account, will not be paid
for any traffic or subscriptions generated prior
to the date of termination; and your registration
information may be turned over to complaining
parties (including AOL).
HOW TO REPORT UNSOLICITED BULK E-MAIL
If you believe you are the recipient of unsolicited
bulk e-mail from a person or company advertising
websites under this Program, please follow this
procedure:
Please send your UBE complaint to COMPANY through
its Customer Service Representative, DaMCASH LLC.
The best and easiest way to do this is by forwarding
the offending e-mail to admin@damcash.com.
If you cannot forward the UBE, simply send an
e-mail to admin@damcash.com.
In either case, please include your name, address,
telephone number and any information you may have
about the identity of the person or entity that
sent the UBE to you. You may be able to collect
information about the sender from the e-mail itself,
for instance, by examining the e-mails “header,”
by examining the webpage or by running a whois
query against the webpage domain.
6. Non-Exclusive Limited License and
Use of Affiliate Logos and Trademarks.
You grant us a non-exclusive
license to utilize your names, titles and logos,
trademarks (collectively the “Affiliate
Trademarks), to advertise, market, promote and
publicize in any manner our rights hereunder.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
we shall not be required to so advertise, market,
promote or publicize. You hereby represent and
warrant that you are the sole and exclusive owner
of the Affiliate Trademarks and have the right
and power to grant to us the license to use same
in the manner contemplated herein, and such grant
does not or will not (i) breach, conflict with
or constitute a default under any agreement or
other instrument applicable to you or binding
upon you, or (ii) infringe upon any trademark,
trade name, service mark, copyright, or other
proprietary right of any other person or entity.
This license shall terminate upon the effective
date of the expiration or termination of this
Agreement.
