1.3) Tracking:
Visitors are tracked using
affiliate tracking software hosted on our server. This software utilizes
cookies set at a 1 year return period.
When a person
clicks through your affiliate link, a cookie is set in their browser
that contains your affiliate username. Also, their IP address is tracked in the database
along with your affiliate name. When this person decides to buy a product, the script will
look for this cookie and/or try to match their IP address to identify the affiliate who
will be awarded the commission. Visitors sent through your affiliate link may make a purchase
later in time and the commission will still be awarded if the cookie is present in their browser
and/or the are using the same IP address as the one logged in the
database
1.4) Reporting: Affiliates will be able to
access sales through their affiliate administration panel.
Access details will be supplied upon acceptance of your
application. Statistics are available subject to server
performance in real time providing clickthru's, sales,
commissions due and conversion rates. Historical data on a
monthly basis of past performance is also available.
1.5) International Affiliates:
International
affiliates are welcome to join the program. All payments made
will be in US dollars on a monthly basis. International
affiliates who would prefer a higher minimum check payment to
reduce their bank costs are welcome to discuss reviewed limits
by contacting affiliates@namestick.com
1.6) Predatory Advertising:
We agree not to
use predatory advertising methods designed to generate traffic
from sites they have not contracted with for the online
promotion of our products, services and affiliate program.
Affiliate agrees not to use any predatory advertising methods
in the promotion of our products, services or affiliate program.
Predatory advertising is defined as any method that creates
or overlays links or banners on web sites, spawns browser
windows, or any method invented to generate traffic from a web
site without that web site owner's expressed, written
permission.
Examples include, but are not limited to, keyword parsing
browser plugins such as TopText and Surf+, banner replacement
technology such as Gator, and browser spawning technology that
is not web site dependent.
Participation in predatory advertising programs will be cause
for affiliates immediate termination.
2) Commission Payments:
We will pay a $7.50
per sale (new domain registration or transfer). Commissions are not paid on registrations made by an affiliate tracked through their own link. If this occurs commission will be
reversed to the affiliate who originally referred them to NameStick.com Payments will be
made every 30 days sent in the form of a check payable in US
dollars to the 'Payee' as described in the affiliate application
form. You are held responsible for your own tax liabilities in
relation to this payment.
The minimum payment level is $15
for US
and Canadian affiliates, and $30 for all other international
affiliates. Accounts owing under this
amount will be carried forward to the next sales period until
commissions have accumulated to the $15 threshold. Commissions
against sales that are rejected upon credit card authorization
or otherwise refunded or charged back will be deducted from your
following commission payment.
3) 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 on this
site, all affiliates who have not opted out of receiving email notifications
will also receive an email notification.
Modifications may include, for example, changes in the scope
of available referral fees, fee schedules, payment procedures
and Program rules.
Any changes or modifications made will be in 'good faith',
the agreement will not be altered to purposely avoid paying
affiliates due commissions.
Any substantive changes ie. change of commissions will be
made with at least 14 days notice by email and onsite update of
agreement.
Notification of all changes will also be broadcast in an
email message to all affiliates providing you have not opted out
of receiving further communications from us.
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.

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

AFFILIATE AGREEMENT - Nitrostats
specific information
By participating in Nitrostats's affiliate program, you agree to all
terms and conditions set forth in the 'Terms and Conditions' agreement
as well as all terms and conditions set forth in this agreement.
1. DESCRIPTION
Nitrostats.com ("Nitrostats")
provides a free voluntary affiliate program, whereby affiliates may earn
a commission for referring customers to Nitrostats. This affiliate
program pays commissions on direct sales. The percentage of commission
you receive, totals 25% of the total price CHARGED by Nitrostats.com
from your referrals and 5% of the total price CHARGED by Nitrostats.com
from sales made by your sub-affiliates.
2. REGISTRATION
To register to be a Nitrostats
affiliate, you may either fill the form located at http://www.nitrostats.com/affiliate_program/
(also accessible by clicking "Affiliates" on the navigation
side-bar), or you may sign up as a Nitrostats customer. By signing up as
a Nitrostats customer you are automatically registered as a Nitrostats
affiliate. There is no cost to be a Nitrostats affiliate.
3. COMMISSIONS
When you are a Nitrostats affiliate,
you earn commissions as set forth inside the member's area, under
'affiliate center' for each direct sale you refer to Nitrostats. When
you refer a new paid Nitrostats customer there is a 30 day holding
period before these commissions are payable to you. At the end of this
30 day holding period, commissions become due to you for all payments
that customer has made.
Toward the end of each month, checks
are drawn up for commissions due for the previous month. You will
receive commissions for your referrals for as long as they remain a
Nitrostats customer, and you are enrolled in the Nitrostats affiliate
program. Commission checks are drawn up only when your balance exceeds
$30. Should your balance fall under that figure, your earnings will be
added to those of the next month, repeatedly, until your owed
commissions exceed $30. This policy is in order to make sure our
affiliates do not lose a large sum of the money when cashing the checks.
4. PARTICIPATION
Participation in Nitrostats's affiliate
program is purely voluntary. You are under no obligation to promote
Nitrostats. Services provided to you by Nitrostats will in no way be
affected by your participation or lack of participation in Nitrostats's
affiliate program.
5. MODIFICATIONS
Nitrostats reserves the right to cancel
or modify the affiliate program in any way, including the rate of
commission, or any other part of the affiliate program at any time at
its sole discretion.
6. TRACKING
Nitrostats incorporates the best
possible combination of 'cookies' and HTML tracking, to ensure you are
credited each and every customer you deserve. According to statistics,
over 99% of your customers will be tracked by cookies, while the
remaining 1% will still be tracked using advanced HTML and scripting.
Cookies are set to expire within several years, which means even if a
person you referred to your website a few years ago, visits it again,
they will still be credited as your referral, and you will be paid
commissions for as long as this person remains a member of Nitrostats.
7. TAX LIABILITY
Any tax liability related to
commissions paid to you is your sole responsibility.
8. SPAM
Nitrostats reserves the right to cancel
any affiliate's account if they promote Nitrostats using unsolicited
commercial email (UCE/SPAM), off topic or unsolicited news group posts,
or engage in any form of unsolicited advertisement with the intention of
promoting Nitrostats
9. ABUSE
By joining the affiliate program, you
agree that you will not refer yourself (sign up as your sub affiliate).
You also agree that you will not attempt to defraud Nitrostats in any
way. In the event that an affiliate abuses Nitrostats's affiliate
program, Nitrostats will cancel that affiliate's account, and all of
that affiliate's referrals will be lost to that affiliate. In addition
to this, Nitrostats may seek legal action against such individuals if
the abuse warrants such action.
10. RECURRING COMMISSIONS
You will receive commissions for your
direct referrals for as long as you are enrolled in Nitrostats's
affiliate program, and as long as the person you referred remains a
customer.
