that apply to your participation as a member of

“we” or “us). As used in this
Agreement, “you” or “your”

STATING THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THE
TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH HEREIN AND ARE

1.
Enrollment in this Program.
To
begin the enrollment process, you will submit
a completed Program Application through our website
http://www.adultcashflow.com/. We will evaluate
your application in good faith and will notify
you of your acceptance or rejection. We will reject
your application if we determine that you have
provided inaccurate or incomplete signup information,
determine that you are under 18 years of age (21
in some jurisdictions) or determine that your
site is unsuitable for the Program for any reason,
including, but not limited to, if your site incorporates
images or content that is unlawful, defamatory,
obscene, harassing or otherwise objectionable,
such as sites that facilitate illegal activity
or promote violence or promote or assist others
in promoting copyright infringement (collectively,
“Content Restrictions”). Again, you
must be at least eighteen (18) years of age (or
older if legal age of majority is more than 18)
to participate in this Program.
2.
Utilizing Links on Your Site.
As
an affiliate website of COMPANY (“Affiliate
Site”), you may use any form of promotion
you choose, consistent with the terms of this
Agreement. You may use banner advertisements,
button links and/or text links to our site (the
“Links”), however, you cannot employ
deceptive language or misleading URL’s in
the Links, and you CANNOT MARKET BY SENDING UNSOLICITED
BULK E-MAILS!!! (As used herein, UBE, or “Spam”
refers to the transmission of unsolicited bulk
e-mails, i.e., not derived from a verifiable opt-in
program or sent absent a prior business relationship
with the recipient). Any activity by you or on
your behalf that we determine or reasonably suspect
to be the result of an unsolicited bulk e-mail
program will result in your immediate termination
from the Program and your forfeiting of monies
otherwise due you hereunder. (For further guidelines
on this topic, please see Section 5, below.) Allowable
promotional links may contain COMPANY’s
trade names, service marks, and/or logos for display
on your Affiliate Site. Subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, you are granted a limited,
non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access
and download such Links and other designated promotional
materials for placement on your Affiliate Site
for the sole and exclusive purpose of promoting
websites owned, operated or controlled by COMPANY.
In utilizing the Links, you agree that you will
cooperate fully with us in order to establish
and maintain such Link or Links. A Link may only
be visually modified with our consent.
3.
Commissions.
The
Program comes in two forms of commission payout:
(a) payout based on Per Sign-up and (b) payout
based on Recurring Partnership sales.
(a)
Per Sign-up:
We will pay you a commission equal to $35.00 per
sign-up coming from your Links up to a maximum
of 70 Sign-ups per pay period. Sign-ups in excess
of 70 per pay period shall receive a commission
of $40.00 per Sign-up over the 70 base.
(b)
Recurring Partnership:
We will pay you a commision equal to 60% of every
Sign-up and 60% of every rebill from your Links
up to a maximum of 70 Sign-ups per pay period.
Sign-ups in excess of 70 per period shall receive
a 70% per Sign-up and 70% of every rebill.
The
Commission Rate is subject to change from time
to time. Note that a commission will only be paid
if the visitor to our site can be tracked by the
system from the time of the Link to the time of
the sale. No commission will be paid if the visitor’s
payment to our site cannot be tracked directly
to your site by our system or if full payment
for services is not made to us by the customer.
No commission will be paid for signups by you
or anyone within your organization.
4.
Commission Payment.
Commissions
due and owing to you under the Program will be
paid to you directly by COMPANY on a weekly basis
for the prior week’s activity. Overseas
(i.e., non-US or Canada) affiliates are paid on
the 10th day of the month for the preceding month’s
activity. Payments due and owing to you for a
pay period of less than $50.00 will be rolled
over into subsequent payment periods until at
least $50.00 is reached, at which time you will
receive payment. Payments will be in the form
of a check in US dollars payable to you, as identified
in your application, and will be mailed to the
street address indicated in your application (we
will not mail to P.O. Boxes!!). You may request
and receive payment via bank wire transfer, provided,
you pay the costs associated with the wire. Payment
via wire is available only for payments of $500
or more for said pay period. If you dispute the
manner or amount of calculation of your commission
with regard to any given payment period, you must
inform COMPANY within sixty (60) days of said
payment, otherwise you are deemed to have waived
your right to challenge said payment calculation.
5.
ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY REGARDING BULK E-MAILINGS
We
do allow Webmasters to market websites promoted
through this Program through the transmission
of bulk e-mails, however, it is extremely important
that any such mass e-mailings by you conform to
our policies. Moreover, you need to be aware of
the fact that many service providers, such as
America Online, Inc. (AOL), have their own standards
and policies when it comes to mass mailings to
their members. By way of example, please familiarize
yourself with AOL’s policy, as most mass
mailings will reach at least some, and potentially
many, AOL members (e.g., [email protected]) http://www.aol.com/info/bulkemail.html.
The
marketing of websites promoted by this Program
is strictly prohibited if done through the transmission
of unsolicited bulk email. In other words, you
must have a prior business relationship with the
e-mail recipient, including but not limited to
having obtained their e-mail address through a
verifiable opt-in procedure. We strongly encourage
you to maintain electronic records of the manner
in which you obtain e-mail addresses for use in
mailings. This is because, if we receive a complaint
from a person who received a promotional e-mailing
from you, you will need to demonstrate to us that
such person did not receive unsolicited bulk e-mail
from you.
We also strictly prohibit you from transmitting
e-mail that makes use of or contains invalid or
forged headers, invalid or non-existent domain
names or other means of deceptive addressing (“counterfeit
e-mail”). Do NOT do this.
We also strictly prohibit you from transmitting
e-mail that is relayed from any third party's
mail servers without the permission of that third
party, or which employs similar techniques to
hide or obscure the source of the e-mail. Do NOT
do this.
The transmission of unsolicited bulk e-mail, including
the transmission of counterfeit e-mail, may result
in civil and criminal penalties against the sender
under applicable federal and/or state law.
We do NOT authorize the harvesting or collection
of screen names from any ISP service (for example,
AOL) for the purpose of sending unsolicited e-mail,
and will terminate without pay any webmaster determined
to have transmitted bulk emails advertising any
websites marketed through this Program to lists
gathered by such methods.
Should we determine, in our sole discretion that
you have violated this AUP, be assured that you
will be terminated immediately, will be ineligible
to sign up for another account, will not be paid
for any traffic or subscriptions generated prior
to the date of termination; and your registration
information may be turned over to complaining
parties (including AOL).
HOW TO REPORT UNSOLICITED BULK E-MAIL
If you believe you are the recipient of unsolicited
bulk e-mail from a person or company advertising
websites under this Program, please follow this
procedure:
Please send your UBE complaint to COMPANY through
its Customer Service Representative, Internet
Marketing and Entertainment Group. The best and
easiest way to do this is by forwarding the offending
e-mail to [email protected]. If you cannot forward
the UBE, simply send an e-mail to [email protected].
In either case, please include your name, address,
telephone number and any information you may have
about the identity of the person or entity that
sent the UBE to you. You may be able to collect
information about the sender from the e-mail itself,
for instance, by examining the e-mails “header,”
by examining the webpage or by running a whois
query against the webpage domain.
6.
Non-Exclusive Limited License and Use of Affiliate Logos and Trademarks.
You
grant us a non-exclusive license to utilize your
names, titles and logos, trademarks (collectively
the “Affiliate Trademarks), to advertise,
market, promote and publicize in any manner our
rights hereunder. Notwithstanding anything herein
to the contrary, we shall not be required to so
advertise, market, promote or publicize. You hereby
represent and warrant that you are the sole and
exclusive owner of the Affiliate Trademarks and
have the right and power to grant to us the license
to use same in the manner contemplated herein,
and such grant does not or will not (i) breach,
conflict with or constitute a default under any
agreement or other instrument applicable to you
or binding upon you, or (ii) infringe upon any
trademark, trade name, service mark, copyright,
or other proprietary right of any other person
or entity. This license shall terminate upon the
effective date of the expiration or termination
of this Agreement.
7.
Responsibility for Your Site.
You
will be solely responsible for the development,
operation and maintenance of your site and for
all materials that appear on your site. You are

8.
Procedure Relating to Alleged or Actual Third
Party Rights Infringement by a Participating Webmaster.
Upon COMPANY's receipt of a proper notice of alleged
copyright, trademark, service mark or publicity
rights violation by Your participating website
the COMPANY will notify You and ask that You provide
written documentation of your right to use the
allegedly infringing material in your website.
That documentation must be: (a) a license of the
rights; (b) consent from the rights holder or
their agent; or (c) a written statement from You
or Your attorney (in either email or fax form)
explaining Your claim to have a lawful right,
or a legal defense, to display the allegedly infringing
material.
If
You do provide COMPANY with appropriate rights
documentation (a, b or c, above), COMPANY will
forward that documentation to the rights holder
or their agent, as appropriate. Should the rights.
holder/agent not be satisfied, COMPANY will provide
the rights holder/agent with Your contact information
in order that they may contact You and pursue
any remaining dispute with You directly.
If
you fail to provide the COMPANY an appropriate
written response (a, b or c, above), You will
have ten (10) days from the date of COMPANY's
original notification to You to remove the complained
of content. Should you fail to remove said content
within ten days, the referring URL containing
the complained of content will be blocked and
any funds otherwise due and payable to You relating
to the referring URL will be forfeited, UNTIL
SUCH TIME AS YOU PROVIDE AN APPROPRIATE WRITTEN
RESPONSE. You will also be placed in an "infringer"
database, and should repeated complaints be made
against you for rights violations, COMPANY has
the right to permanently terminate You from the
Traffic Cash Gold program.
9.
Term of the Agreements.
The
term of this Agreement will begin upon our acceptance
of your Affiliate 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
notice of termination. Notice by e-mail, to your

on sales occurring during the term of the Agreement,
