agreement before completing the application process.

furnishings are generated through marketing on the Internet.

a non exclusive limited license to use BLACKLION banners and logos on your
website. This license is non-transferable and revocable at our sole discretion.
They must be used exclusively with the link code provided by BLACKLION. A link
may only be changed with our written consent. Compliance with the terms of this
agreement will be monitored through regular audits of affiliate sites. The
license only applies to those banners provided by BLACKLION through the
program. Any use of images, banners or other trademarks found on BLACKLION’s
website is prohibited without first obtaining written permission from BLACKLION
as well as the respective owners of the intellectual property. Failure to
comply with trademark law could result in material penalties.
-
Websites that generate sales by directing traffic from their sites are paid a
3% commission on the product-selling price. Shipping charges, taxes, fees and
other accessorial charges are excluded from commission. Improper or
unauthorized use of the html code without BLACKLION’s written permission could
result in delay or non-payment of commissions at BLACKLION’s discretion.
Product selling price for items that are sold with freight, tax, or other fees
included will be extrapolated by deducting our actual expenses from the selling
price.
-
Commissions are calculated on a monthly basis and are paid on the 15th of the
month for everything earned in the previous month. Checks are only cut when
commissions owed equal or exceed $75. If commissions are less than $75,
BLACKLION will hold the funds until earnings equal or exceed the minimum amount
for a check to be cut. Fraud, bad debt, order cancellations and restocking
charges are excluded from commission. To generate a commission, the customer
must follow the link provided from your site to ours and make a purchase either
online or over the phone. If the order is placed over the phone, our sales
staff will ask the customer to read the affiliate code from the bottom of the
page. The link code provided by BLACKLION generates a unique affiliate number
on the bottom of each page. This is how sales are linked to affiliates. To
qualify for commission, a sale must be consummated by an acceptable delivery
and full payment by the customer.
-
The term of this agreement begins upon BLACKLION’s acceptance of affiliate’s
application and ends immediately upon notice of termination by either party.
Notice may be given by email, phone, fax, mail or express mail. A breach of
this agreement could constitute an immediate termination of agreement. Material
breaches or fraud will negate any commissions due.

discretion. Notice of modification will be provided to the email address or
other contact information supplied in the affiliate application.
-
BLACKLION and affiliates are separate entities and nothing in this agreement

relationship between the respective parties.

or expected revenues. BLACKLION does not guarantee that it’s website will be
