| Linking your site to ours:
You may provide on your site one or more of the following
types of links to our site:
- General Link to All Things Arctic's Home Page:
You may provide a general link on your site to our home
page at http://www.allthingsarctic.com. Link(s) can be provided
through either a banner, icon, image, or text.
- Product Links: You may, but shall not be required
to, select one or more Products to list on your site. A
"Product" is any product listed on our site. You
will be responsible for the content, style, and placement
of these references. You will provide a Affiliate Partner Link (as defined
below) from each Product reference on your site to the corresponding
All Things Arctic online catalog product page and/or to
our site in general. Each such catalog product link should
connect directly to a single item in our online catalog.
You may add or delete Products (and related links) and/or
the link to our site in general from your site at any time
without our approval.
Tags/Hyperlinks: To permit accurate tracking, reporting,
and Referral Commission accrual, we will provide you with
special "tagged" link formats to be used in all
links between your site and our site. Links to our site placed
on your site are referred to as "Affiliate Partner Links."
You must ensure that each of the links between your site and
our site properly utilizes such Affiliate Partner Link formats. You will earn Referral Commissions
with respect to activity on our site occurring directly through
Affiliate Partner Links, whether such Affiliate Partner Links are
to a specific product or to our site in general; we will not
be liable to you with respect to any failure by you to use
Affiliate Partner 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
Affiliate Partner Links from your site to our site.
We reserve the right to reject orders that do not comply with
requirements that we have established. 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 by customers who purchase Products by
using Affiliate Partner
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.
Referral Commissions
For a Product sale to be eligible to earn a Referral Commission,
the customer must arrive at our website directly through an
Affiliate Partner Link and purchase products within the same
shopping session. If the customer arrives at our store through
an Affiliate link, left, then returned several hours later
and purchased an item, their order will not be counted as
a valid referral even though they initially arrived through
the Affiliate link. The customers must click-through a Affiliate
Partner Link from your site to our site, and add the Products
to his or her shopping cart during a session. The session
ends upon one of the following events: (a) 24 hours elapses
from the customer's initial click-through, (b) the customer
orders the Products. We will only pay Referral Commissions
on such Products after order, payment and shipping have occurred.
Gift certificates are not eligible to earn Referral Commissions.
Referral Commission
We will pay you Referral Commissions on a monthly basis. Each
month we will send you a check for the Referral Commissions
earned on: a) our sales of Qualifying Products that were shipped
during that month, less any taxes that we are required by
law to withhold.
If the Referral Commissions payable to you for any calendar
month 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 Commissions, we will
deduct the corresponding Referral Commission from your next
monthly payment if the customer returns a Product that generated
a Referral Commission.
Referral Commission Schedule
You will earn Referral Commissions based on Qualifying Revenues
according to Referral Commissions set forth below, and we
will pay these fees regardless of whether you have linked
to a specific product on our Site, as long as the customer
has come to our Site from yours through a Affiliate Partner
Link. "Qualifying Revenues" are revenues derived
by us from our sales of Qualifying Products, excluding separately
charged costs for shipping, handling, gift-wrapping, taxes,
service charges, credit card processing fees, returns and
bad debt.
Referral Commission Amount:
Referrals from Affiliate
Partner Links on your site to ours, resulting in a legitimate
order with a successful authorization, placed with us will
result in a Referral Commission of the Qualifying Revenues
paid to you of 15% for all links.
Viewing Your Payment & Referral History:
Affiliate Partners can sign
in to view their account information and current referral
statistics. Affiliate Partners will also be able to see your
Pending Payment and Payment History information.
