This Agreement contains the complete terms and conditions that apply to an individual's or entity's participation in the FreeFlow Golf, LLC Affiliate Program (the "Program"). As used in this Agreement, "we", "us", or "our" means FreeFlowGolf, LLC, as the case may be, and "you" means the applicant. "FreeFlowGolf.com Site" means the site that has its primary home page identified by the URL www.FreeFlowGolf.com, and "site" means a World Wide Web site. "Your site" means any site that you will link to the FreeFlowGolf.com Site (and which you will identify in your Program Application).
Enrollment in the Program
To begin the enrollment process, you will submit a completed Program
application via the FreeFlowGolf.com Site. We will
evaluate your application in good faith and will notify you of its acceptance
or rejection. We may reject your application if we determine (in our
sole discretion) that your site is unsuitable for the Program.
If we reject your application, you are welcome to reapply 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, we grant you a revocable, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
license for the duration of the term of this Agreement, solely for purposes
of facilitating referrals from your site to the FreeFlowGolf.com
Site. You may provide a link on your site that will link to
any particular page on the FreeFlowGolf.com Site, provided
that you properly use the special link formats provided on the FreeFlowGolf.com
Site.
We will provide you with guidelines and graphical artwork to use in linking to the FreeFlowGolf.com Site home page. To permit accurate tracking, reporting, and referral fee accrual, we will provide you with special "tagged" link formats to be used in all links between your site and the FreeFlowGolf.com Site (and for purposes of this Agreement, the browser window described above that opens upon a user's clicking on a Quick-Click link is deemed a part of the FreeFlowGolf.com Site, and any Quick-Click link is deemed a link between your site and the FreeFlowGolf.com Site). You must ensure that each of the links between your site and the FreeFlowGolf.com Site properly utilizes such special link formats. Links to the FreeFlowGolf.com Site placed on your site pursuant to this Agreement and which properly utilize such special link formats are referred to as "Special Links." You will earn referral fees only with respect to activity on the FreeFlowGolf.com Site occurring directly through Special Links; we will not be liable to you with respect to any failure by you to use Special 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.
Order Processing
We will process Product orders placed by customers who follow Special
Links from your site to the FreeFlowGolf.com Site. We reserve
the right to reject orders that do not comply with any requirements
that we periodically may establish. We will be responsible for all aspects
of order processing and fulfillment. Among other things, we will prepare
order forms, process payments, cancellations, and returns, and handle
customer service. We will track sales made to customers who purchase
Products by using Special Links from your site to the
FreeFlowGolf.com 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 in 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. For a Product
sale to be eligible to earn a referral fee, the customer must click-through
a Special Link from your site to the FreeFlowGolf.com Site, and add
the Product to his or her shopping cart and purchase the Product during
a session. The session ends upon one of the following events: (a) the
customer orders the Product, or (b) the customer exits the FreeFlowGolf.com
Site. We will only pay referral fees on eligible Products after order,
payment and shipping have occurred. To permit accurate tracking, reporting
and fee accrual, you must ensure that the Special Links
between your site and the FreeFlowGolf.com Site are properly formatted.
We will not be liable for paying referral fees on purchases that are
not correctly tracked and reported because the links between your site
and the FreeFlowGolf.com Site are not properly formatted.
We will not, however, pay referral fees on any Products that are added to a customer's Shopping Cart or are purchased via our 1-Click feature after the customer has reentered the FreeFlowGolf.com Site (other than through a Special Link from your site), as determined by us, even if the customer previously followed a link from your site to the FreeFlowGolf.com Site.
Referral Commission Schedule
During each calendar quarter, for Qualifying Products sold during sessions
initiated through Special Links on your site, you will
earn (subject to the other terms of this Agreement) a 10% referral commissions
on "Qualifying Revenues" (revenues derived by us from sales of Qualifying
Product units sold during sessions initiated through Special
Links on your site, excluding costs for shipping, handling,
service charges, credit card processing fees, returns and bad debt).
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. Referral fees will accrue until
the total amount due is at least $50.00, at which point
fees will be distributed. We are obligated by U.S. federal law to obtain
tax information from Program participants who are U.S. citizens, U.S.
residents or U.S. corporations and from Program participants who are
not U.S. citizens or residents but whose businesses are taxable in the
U.S. If we believe you are a Program participant from whom we are obligated
to obtain tax information and you do not provide this information to
us after we have requested it, we may withhold your referral fee payments
until you provide this information or otherwise satisfy us that you
are not a person from whom we are required to obtain tax information.
Policies and Pricing
Customers who buy products through this Program will be deemed to be
our customers. Accordingly, all of our 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.

As a condition to your participation in the Program, you agree that
while you are a Program participant you will comply with all laws, ordinances,
rules, regulations, orders, licenses, permits, judgments, decisions
or other requirements of any governmental authority that has jurisdiction
over you, whether those laws, etc. are now in effect or later come into
effect during the time you are a Program participant.
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 the FreeFlowGolf.com Site, and
all of our trademarks, 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 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 the FreeFlowGolf.com Site. Modifications may include,
