Master Agreement This Master Agreement ("Agreement") is made between H&H Software LLC ("HNHSoft") and Affiliate ("Affiliate") contains all of the terms and conditions and governs your participation in the HNHSoft Affiliate Network. BACKGROUND: Affiliate and HNHSoft each desire to establish the general terms and conditions, which shall govern advertising and commission arrangements between Affiliate and HNHSoft which result from their participation in HNHSoft Affiliate Network. TERMS AND CONDITIONS: In consideration of the promises set forth below, we agree as follows: 1. Offers and Engagements. From time to time, HNHSoft may post offers to pay to other participants a specified commission in return for certain advertising services leading to a Qualifying Link (defined below). If such offers receive an identification number they shall be deemed to be an "Offer" for purposes of this Agreement. The term "Offer" shall also include any counter-offers resulting from an Offer. If an Offer made by one party is accepted by the other party in accordance with the Offer's terms, an "Engagement" will have been formed. Each Engagement shall have the same identification number as the original Offer that lead to the Engagement and shall be governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. However, in the event of any inconsistency between the terms of the specific Engagement and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the Engagement shall govern. At any time prior to or after Affiliate provides a Qualifying Link, HNHSoft may with or without notice (a) change, suspend or discontinue any aspect of an Offer or an Engagement or (b) remove, alter, or modify any graphic or banner ad submitted by HNHSoft for an Offer or an Engagement. Affiliate agrees to promptly implement any request from HNHSoft to remove, alter or modify any graphic or banner ad submitted by HNHSoft that is being used by Affiliate as part of an Engagement. 2. Affiliate's Responsibilities. Affiliate will link its site to areas within HNHSoft's site using special URLs specified in the Engagement (the "Required URLs"). Affiliate may post as many links to the Required URLs and the rest of HNHSoft's Web Site, in a form, manner and presentation in accordance with the Usage Guidelines attached hereto as Exhibit A and instructions posted by HNHSoft, as modified by HNHSoft from time to time. Affiliate agrees not to make any representations, warranties or other statements concerning HNHSoft, HNHSoft's site, any of HNHSoft's products or services, or HNHSoft's site policies, except as expressly authorized by the Engagement. Affiliate is responsible for notifying HNHSoft of any malfunctioning of the Required URLs or other problems with Affiliate's participation in the Engagement. HNHSoft will respond promptly to all concerns upon notification by Affiliate. HNHSoft reserves the right to refuse partnership with a site that posts content that is libelous, defamatory, obscene, pornographic, "adult-oriented", relates to gambling or use of illegal substances, abusive or overly violent or in HNHSoft's good faith determination that Affiliate's content adversely impacts HNHSoft's reputation or violates any law. 3. Commissions. HNHSoft agrees to pay Affiliate the commission based on a "Percentage of sales" basis. A sale is defined as when a user of Affiliate's Web Site clicks on a Qualifying Link and receives a HNHSoft Web page, and completes a purchase transaction. A sale is defined as when a user of Affiliate's Web Site clicks on a Qualifying Link and completes a purchase transaction through the HNHSoft online ordering system. The customer must accept delivery of the Product, and remit full payment to HNHSoft. Commission payments are based only on actual product sales, and will not include any percentage of costs from shipping, handling, taxes or other non product related fees. HNHSoft has no obligation to pay Affiliate for commissions for search queries or direct click-throughs from a Qualifying Link that were not generated by means of a valid search request or do not otherwise fit the definition of a Click-Through. Terms: HNHSoft will pay Affiliate within 30 days after the end of each calendar month for all commissions earned under Section 3 during the prior month, less any taxes HNHSoft may be required to withhold, and less any amount HNHSoft determines, in its sole discretion, was not validly earned from proper use of the Qualifying Link on Affiliate's Web Site. If commissions earned during any calendar month are less than $100, then HNHSoft, in its sole discretion, may hold those commissions until the month in which the total amount due is at least $100 or (if earlier) until this Agreement is terminated. Reporting: HNHSoft will provide Affiliate with information about the total sales generated from "Qualifying Links" on a monthly basis, regardless of amount of commissions earned. Affiliate understands and agrees that HNHSoft pays commissions based only on Qualifying Sales. A "Qualifying Link" is a link from Affiliate's site to HNHSoft's using one the Required URL(s) provided by HNHSoft. A Qualifying Link is one that is the last link to the HNHSoft's site that the Customer uses during a Session where a Qualifying Sales transaction occurs. A "Session" is the period of time beginning from a Customer's initial contact with HNHSoft's site via a link from the Affiliate's site and terminating when the Customer either leave HNHSoft's web site or completes a Qualifying Sales transaction. HNHSoft shall have the sole right and responsibility for delivering its service to its Customers. Affiliate acknowledges that all agreements relating to Customers shall be between HNHSoft and the Customer. All determinations of Qualifying Links and whether a commission is payable will be made by HNHSoft and will be final and binding on both HNHSoft and Affiliate. Prices for commissions will be set solely by HNHSoft in its discretion. 4. Ownership and Licenses. Each party owns and shall retain all right, title and interest in its names, logos, trademarks, service marks, trade dress, copyrights and proprietary technology, including, without limitation, those names, logos, trademarks, service marks, trade dress, copyrights and proprietary technology currently used or which may be developed and/or used by it in the future.
