Associates Agreement
This Agreement contains the complete terms and conditions that apply to an individual's or
entity's participation in the University of Life Press Associates Program (the
"Program"). As used in this Agreement, "we" means University of Life
Press, and "you" means the applicant. "Site" means a World Wide Web
site and, depending on the context, refers either to University of Life Press's site,
located at the URL www.UofLIFE.com, or to any site that you will link to our site (and
which you will identify in your Program application).
- Enrollment in the Program
To begin the enrollment process, you will submit a complete Program application via this
page. We will evaluate your application in good faith and will notify you of your
acceptance or rejection. We may reject your application if we determine (in our sole
discretion) that your site is unsuitable for the Program. Unsuitable sites include those
that:
- promote sexually explicit materials
- promote violence
- promote discrimination based on race, sex, religion, nationality, disability, sexual
orientation, or age
- promote illegal activities
- violate intellectual property rights
If we reject your application, you mayreapply to the Program at any time. You should
also note that if we accept your application and your site is thereafter determined (in
our sole discretion) to be unsuitable for the Program, we may terminate this Agreement.
- Links on Your Site
Once you have been notified that your site has been accepted into the Program, you may
provide from your e-mail messages or on your site one or more links to our site or to
products on our site. We will provide you with guidelines and graphical artwork to use in
linking to our site. To permit accurate tracking, reporting, and referral fee accrual, we
will provide you with special link formats to be used in all links from your site or
e-mails to ours. You must ensure that each of the links between your site and our site
properly utilizes such special link formats. Links to our site placed on your site
pursuant to this Agreement and which properly utilize such special link formats are
referred to as "Special Links."
- Order Processing
We will process orders placed by customers who follow Special Links from your site to our
site. We reserve the right to reject orders that do not comply with any requirements that
we may establish periodically. We will be responsible for all aspects of order processing
and fulfillment. Among other things, we will prepare order forms, process payments,
cancellations, and handle customer service. We will track sales made to customers who
purchase products by using Special Links from your site to our site and will make
available to you reports summarizing this sales activity. The form, content, and frequency
of the reports may vary from time to time at our discretion.
- Referral Fees
We will pay you (in accordance with Sections 5 and 6 below) referral fees on certain
product sales to third parties. You will earn referral fees only with respect to orders
finalized on our site occuring during a "Referral Session", which begins when a
customer follows a Special Link from your site to ours, and ends when the customer leaves
our site. We will not be liable to you with respect to any failure by you to use Special
Links, nor for Referral Sessions terminated by the customer's following a link out of our
site, including to the extent that such failure may result in any reduction of amounts
that would otherwise be paid to you pursuant to this Agreement. We will not pay referral
fees on any orders that are finalized after the termination of a Referral Session, even if
the customer previously followed a link from your site to our site. We will only pay
referral fees on such products after order, payment and shipping have occurred. Products
that are eligible to earn referral fees under the rules set forth above are referred to as
"Qualifying Products."Note that you may not: (a) directly or indirectly offer
any person or entity any consideration or incentive (including, without limitation,
payment of money (including any rebate), or granting of any discount or other benefit) for
ordering products during Referral Sessions (e.g., by implementing any "rewards"
program for persons or entities who use Special Links on your site to access our site);
(b) read, intercept, record, redirect, interpret, or fill in the contents of any
electronic form or other materials submitted to us by any person or entity; (c) in any way
modify, redirect, suppress, or substitute the operation of any button, link, or other
interactive feature of our site; (d) make any orders or subscription requests, or engage
in other transactions of any kind on our site on behalf of any third party, or authorize,
assist, or encourage any other person or entity to do so; (e) take any action that could
reasonably cause any customer confusion as to our relationship with you, or as to the site
on which any functions or transactions (e.g., search, order, browse, and so on) are
occurring; or (f) post or serve any advertisements or promotional content around or in
conjunction with the display of our site (e.g., through any "framing" technique
or technology or pop-up windows), or assist, authorize, or encourage any third party to
take any such action. If we determine, in our sole discretion, that you have engaged in
any of the foregoing activities, we may (without limiting any other rights or remedies
available to us) withhold any referral fees otherwise payable to you under this Agreement
and/or terminate this Agreement.
- Referral Fee Schedule
You will earn referral fees based on Qualifying Revenues according to referral fee
schedules to be established by us. "Qualifying Revenues" are revenues derived by
us from our sales of Qualifying Products, excluding costs for shipping, handling,
gift-wrapping, taxes, service charges, credit card processing fees, returns and bad debt.
The current referral fee schedule is:10% of Qualifying Revenues from the sale of each
item ordered during a Referral Session begun by following a Special Link from your site or
e-mail message.
- Referral Fee Payment
We will pay you referral fees on a quarterly basis. Approximately 30 days following the
end of each calendar quarter, we will send you a check for the referral fees earned on our
sales of Qualifying Products that were shipped during that quarter, less any taxes that we
are required by law to withhold. However, if the referral fees payable to you for any
calendar quarter are less than $25, we will hold payment until the total amount due is at
least $25 or (if earlier) until this Agreement is terminated. In calculating referral
fees, we will deduct the corresponding referral fee from your next quarterly payment if a
product that generated a referral fee is returned by the customer. If there is no
subsequent payment, we will send you a bill for the referral fee.
- Policies and Pricing
Customers who buy products through this Program will be deemed to be customers of
University of Life Press. Accordingly, all University of Life Press rules, policies, and
operating procedures concerning customer orders, customer service, and product sales will
apply to those customers. We may change our policies and operating procedures at any time.
For example, we will determine the prices to be charged for products sold under this
Program in accordance with our own pricing policies. Product prices and availability may
vary from time to time. Because price changes may affect products that you already have
listed on your site, you may not include price information in your product descriptions.
We will use commercially reasonable efforts to present accurate information, but we cannot
guarantee the availability or price of any particular product.
- Identifying Yourself as an Associate
We will make available to you a small graphic image that identifies your site as a Program
participant. You must display this logo or the phrase "In association with University
of Life Press" somewhere on your site or in the body of any e-mail message containing
a referral link. We may modify the text or graphic image of this notice from time to time.
You may not make any press release with respect to this Agreement or your participation in
the Program. In addition, you may not in any manner misrepresent or embellish the
relationship between us and you, or express or imply any relationship or affiliation
between us and you or any other person or entity except as expressly permitted by this
Agreement (including by expressing or implying that University of Life Press supports,
sponsors, endorses, or contributes money to any charity or other cause).
- Limited License
We grant you a nonexclusive, revocable right to use the graphic image and text described
in Section 8 and such other text or images for which we grant express permission, solely
for the purpose of identifying your site as a Program participant and to assist in
generating product sales. You may not modify the graphic image or text, or any other of
our images, in any way. We reserve all of our rights in the graphic image and text, any
other images, and all other intellectual property rights. We may revoke your license at
any time by giving you written notice.
- Responsibility for Your Site
You will be solely responsible for the development, operation, and maintenance of your
site and for all materials that appear on your site. For example, you will be solely
responsible for:
- the technical operation of your site and all related equipment
- creating and posting product descriptions on your site and linking those descriptions to
our catalog
- the accuracy and appropriateness of materials posted on your site (including, among
other things, all product-related materials)
- ensuring that materials posted on your site do not violate or infringe upon the rights
of any third party (including, for example, copyrights, trademarks, privacy, or other
personal or proprietary rights)
- ensuring that materials posted on your site are not libelous or otherwise illegal
We disclaim all liability for these matters. Further, you will indemnify and hold us
harmless from all claims, damages, and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys'
fees) relating to the development, operation, maintenance, and contents of your site.
- Term of the Agreement
The term of this Agreement will begin upon our acceptance of your Program application and
will end when terminated by either party. Either you or we may terminate this Agreement at
any time, with or without cause, by giving the other party written notice of termination.
Upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason, you will immediately cease use of,
and remove from your site, all links to our site, and all University of Life Press trade
dress and logos, and all other materials provided by or on behalf of us to you pursuant
hereto or in connection with the Program. You are eligible to earn referral fees only on
our sales of Qualifying Products that occur during the term, and referral fees earned
through the date of termination will remain payable only if the related orders are not
canceled or returned. We may withhold your final payment for a reasonable time to ensure
that the correct amount is paid.
- Modification
We may modify any of the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, at any time and
in our sole discretion, by posting a change notice or a new agreement on our site.
Modifications may include, for example, changes in the scope of available referral fees,
referral fee schedules, payment procedures, and Program rules. IF ANY MODIFICATION IS
UNACCEPTABLE TO YOU, YOUR ONLY RECOURSE IS TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT. YOUR CONTINUED
PARTICIPATION IN THE PROGRAM FOLLOWING OUR POSTING OF A CHANGE NOTICE OR NEW AGREEMENT ON
OUR SITE WILL CONSTITUTE BINDING ACCEPTANCE OF THE CHANGE.
- Relationship of Parties
You and we 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.
- Limitation of Liability
We will not be liable for indirect, special, or consequential damages (or any loss of
revenue, profits, or data) arising in connection with this Agreement or the Program, even
if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Further, our aggregate
liability arising with respect to this Agreement and the Program will not exceed the total
referral fees paid or payable to you under this Agreement.
- Disclaimers
We make no express or implied warranties or representations with respect to the Program or
any products sold through the Program (including, without limitation, warranties of
fitness, merchantability, noninfringement, or any implied warranties arising out of a
course of performance, dealing, or trade usage). In addition, we make no representation
that the operation of our site will be uninterrupted or error-free, and we will not be
liable for the consequences of any interruptions or errors.
- Independent Investigation
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT AND AGREE TO ALL ITS TERMS AND
CONDITIONS. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT WE MAY AT ANY TIME (DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY) SOLICIT
CUSTOMER REFERRALS ON TERMS THAT MAY DIFFER FROM THOSE CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT OR
OPERATE WEB SITES THAT ARE SIMILAR TO OR COMPETE WITH YOUR WEB SITE. YOU HAVE
INDEPENDENTLY EVALUATED THE DESIRABILITY OF PARTICIPATING IN THE PROGRAM AND ARE NOT
RELYING ON ANY REPRESENTATION, GUARANTEE, OR STATEMENT OTHER THAN AS SET FORTH IN THIS
AGREEMENT.
- Severability
If any provision of this agreement is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction,
such provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted, and the remaining
provisions will remain in full force.
- Miscellaneous
This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the United States and the state of Utah,
without reference to rules governing choice of laws. You may not assign this Agreement, by
operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. Subject to that
restriction, this Agreement will be binding on, inure to the benefit of, and be
enforceable against the parties and their respective successors and assigns. Our failure
to enforce your strict performance of any provision of this Agreement will not constitute
a waiver of our right to subsequently enforce such provision or any other provision of
this Agreement.
