UltraCart Affiliate Program Agreement

1) Term of the Agreements: The term of this Agreement will begin upon our acceptance of your Affiliate application and will end when terminated by either party. Either you or BPS Info Solutions, Inc. ("BPS") may terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause, by giving the other party written notice of termination. You are only eligible to earn commissions on service sales occuring during the term.

2) Commissions: We will pay you commissions on certain service sales to third parties. For a service sales to be eligible to earn a comission, the customer must click-through a Special Link from your site to our site, signup for the service during a session, and continue beyond the trial period of the service. The session ends upon one of the following events: (a) 30 days elapse from the customer's initial click-through, (b) the customer signs up for the service, or (c) the customer follows a third party's Special Link. Commission amounts are paid for service fees collected from a customer. If a customer fails to pay their service fee, BPS is not liable to pay a commission to the affiliate for that time period. Direct customer referrals result in a 20% commission of the basic service fee for 12 months. You may also recruit other affiliates to the program for which you will receive additional commissions for their customer signups. Second tier (affiliates that you refer) customer signups will result in a 5% commission of the basic service fee for 24 months. Third tier (affiliates that your second tier refer) customer signups will result in a 2% commission of the basic service fee for 36 months. Fourth tier (affiliates that your third tier refer) customer signups will result in a 1% commission of the basic service fee for 48 months. All commission payments exclude the free 30 day trial that the customer receives.

3) Ineligible Commissions: You are not eligible to receive commissions on UltraCart stores that you participate in the operation of, customers that were recruited with SPAM (Unsolicited Commercial Email), or customers that you have already received commissions on. If you signup for more than one affiliate account and attempt to be a downline affliate of yourself, you will forfeit all future commissions, have your account terminated, and will be banned from ever participating in the UltraCart affiliate program.

4) Tax Liabilities: You understand that commissions that you are paid will have no taxes withheld from them for any jurisdiction. Individuals in the United States will receive an IRS Form 1099-MISC for the commissions they received.
