This Affiliate Agreement ("Agreement")
contains the complete terms and conditions that apply to your
participation as an Affiliate in the Affiliate Program (the
"Program") of FragranceWholesale . As used in this Agreement,
"we" means FragranceWholesale , and "you" means the
applicant or Affiliate Site. "Site" means a World Wide Web site
and, depending on the context, refers either to FragranceWholesale 's
site, located at the URL: www.FragranceWholesale.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:
By submitting an
application to become a FragranceWholesale
Affiliate, you warrant that you have read and understood this
agreement, and you agree to be bound by it.
To begin the enrollment process, you will submit a complete Program
application to FragranceWholesale . 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 or is not compatible with our image. We
currently find unsuitable sites that contain content to include:
- Discriminatory themes
against people based on race, sex, religion, nationality, disability,
sexual orientation, or age.
- Promoters of acts that
violate the law.
- Sexually explicit sites
which deal in pornographic material.
If we reject your application, you are welcome to reapply to the Program
at any time. You should also note that we reserve the sole right to refuse
acceptance into the Program at anytime, and can terminate the Agreement at
any time during the term if the site content is modified falling into one
of the above categories included above.
Links on your site:
Once you have been notified that your site has been accepted into the
Program, we'll be responsible for providing all information and a variety
of graphic and textual links (each of these links sometimes being referred
to herein as "Links" or, individually, as a "Link"
meaning a hyperlink established from within an Affiliate Site to the
FragranceWholesale Site that enables an end user of an Affiliate Site to
access the FragranceWholesale Site),
necessary to allow you to make appropriate Link(s) from your site to our
site. We'll be solely responsible for processing every customer
registration and order who follows a special Link from your site. We
reserve the right to reject orders that do not comply with any
requirements that we may establish periodically. We'll be responsible for
registration, fulfillment of the order, cancellations and related customer
service.
Agreements regarding Links: In utilizing the Links, you agree that you'll
cooperate fully with us in order to establish and maintain such Links. You
also agree that you'll display in your site only those graphic or textual
images (indicating a link) that are provided or approved by us, and you'll
substitute such images with any new images provided by us from time to
time throughout the term of this Agreement. All Affiliate Sites (the
Internet Web site(s) owned or controlled by Affiliate) shall display such
graphic and/or textual images prominently in relevant sections of their
site. All Links may be modified and/or expanded from time to time
throughout the term of this Agreement pursuant to the mutual agreement of
the parties hereto. Each Link connecting users of your site to the
pertinent area of our site will in no way alter the look, feel or
functionality of our site.
The traceable link will maintain your special code and assign you credit
for revenues generated from your site. You will have access to monitor
your account at anytime with special access. As the sale is generated, we
take on all responsibility to ensure the collection of revenue, the
mailing of the product, and the maintenance of the customer account. There
is no financial responsibility on your part once the customer reaches our
site. If there is any problem with you accessing your account information
via the Internet, we will provide reports to you via mail or fax in a
timely fashion.
Responsibilities and Opportunities of
Your Sites:
a. If you qualify and agree to participate in the Program, you
shall display Link(s) prominently throughout your site as you see fit and
with our consent.
b.Compliance with the Agreement: We have the right in our sole
discretion to monitor your site at any time and from time to time to
determine if you're in compliance with the terms of this Agreement.
Fee Determination and Payments:
FragranceWholesale will pay 8-12% for every order placed by a customer you
refer to us. If there are cancellations of orders, we remove the credit
for that sale from your account. You will earn referral fees only with
respect to activity on our site occurring directly through Links; we will
not be liable to you with respect to any failure by you to use Links,
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..
The sum of your referral fees will be paid within 30 days of the end of
each calendar quarter. A check will be sent to you for fees earned from
net sales generated through our links. Taxes and shipping charges are not
included in the sales figure amounts. If the total value of the referral
fees is less than $25.00, we will hold the amount until the total amount
reaches $25.00 or (if earlier) until this Agreement is terminated. Any
orders that are cancelled by the referred customer will affect the net
sales figure as calculated by the tracking software.
Policies and Pricing:
Customers who make a purchase through this Program will be deemed to be
customers of FragranceWholesale. Accordingly, all FragranceWholesale
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, which will
affect the sales generated per order. 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. We do not advise that you list any prices on links
since that may conflict with the current prices as reflected on our web
site. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to present accurate
information, but we cannot guarantee the availability or price of any
particular product.
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 FragranceWholesale
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 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.

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.

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.

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.

desirability of participating in the program and are not relying on any
representation, guarantee, or statement other than as set forth in this
agreement.

alleged breach hereof), any transactions or activities under this
Agreement or your relationship with us or any of our affiliates shall be
submitted to confidential arbitration in Monterey, California, except

violate our intellectual property rights, we may seek injunctive or other
appropriate relief in any state or federal court in the state of
California (and you consent to non-exclusive jurisdiction and venue in
such courts) or any other court of competent jurisdiction. Arbitration

the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator's award shall be
binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent
jurisdiction. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no
