AFFILIATE AGREEMENT
Each participant in the affiliate program offered by (the “Program Operator”) at http://fixyoursexlessmarriage.com/affiliates.html (the “website”)
expressly agrees to this affiliate agreement.
NOTICE: Please read this agreement carefully. Unless you expressly agree and consent to
this agreement, you may NOT participate in the affiliate program. By participating in the affiliate program,
you are agreeing to comply with and be legally bound by the terms and conditions of this contract. If you do not
agree to all of the terms of this agreement, please do not register for the affiliate program.
This agreement incorporates the Program Operator's Terms and Conditions of Use (located on this website) herein
as if it were set forth in full.
Throughout this agreement, “affiliate program” refers to the affiliate program operated by the Program Operator
in part for the website.
AFFILIATES
Each affiliate is an independent contractor of the Program Operator and not an employee. Nothing herein is
intended to create an employer/employee relationship.
COMMISSION SCHEDULE
Commissions are paid once every 2 weeks by Clickbank.com.
There is a minimum commission amount which is determined by the affiliate and clickbank.com . This is
the minimum amount that you must earn before you will be paid commissions. In any commission period, your
commission must exceed this amount before you will receive any sums for that period. Commissions below this minimum
amount will be held until such time as the commission equals or exceeds this amount.
Commissions are not paid for any sales for which payment has not been received, or for any transaction that has
been rejected for any reason.
We are not responsible for paying interest to affiliates for accrued but not yet delivered commission
payments.
If a transaction incurs a charge-back, or if an online transaction is not completed in every way, no commission
payment is due to the affiliate. If a commission has already been paid, then it will be deducted from an active
affiliate's future commissions.
MIXING OF PRODUCTS
As an affiliate of the Program Operator, your website on which you advertise any products or services of the
Program Operator may only include products that are not capable of being viewed by persons 13 years of age or
younger unless the Program Operator specifically allows such products. Your website may NOT contain any content or
images that are NOT suitable for being viewed by persons 13 years of age or younger if you include any reference
whatsoever to the Program Operator, the website, the eBook(s), or your affiliate Link. On any website on which you
include any reference whatsoever to the Program Operator, its products, services, and eBooks, you may NOT include
any reference whatsoever to any form of "Adult" content. Any violation of these requirements will result in
immediate termination of your affiliate status and you shall forfeit any commissions/referral fees that may be due.
In the event that any violation of these requirements results in the suspension or termination of any payment
processor for or the Program Operator, you shall be liable for liquidated damages in the amount of $10,000 as well
as actual and any consequential or actual damages that or the Program Operator may incur.
PAYMENT PROCESSOR FEES
All commissions are calculated based on the net transaction. In other words, all payment processor fees are
first deducted from the sums collected from the customer. Then, all payment processor fees are deducted. The
remaining amount is a commissionable sale. The commission rate listed on the website is then applied to determine
the amount due the affiliate. Any sums paid for payment processor fees are not commissionable. The Program Operator
may also charge a per transaction fee for every transaction processed. In the event that a per-transaction fee is
applied, the amount of the fee can be seen on the website. Any such fee is not commissionable and is also deducted
from the sums paid by the customer, prior to the calculation of any commission.
SPAM & UNSOLICITED COMMERCIAL EMAIL (UCE)
The Program Operator does not tolerate the sending of unsolicited bulk emails (UCE or SPAM) which promote, or
make reference to the Program Operator, or any of their associated companies or websites, Partners, or employees,
the websites, products or services. The provisions of the Terms and Conditions pertaining to UCE or SPAM shall
apply to each affiliate. Any affiliate who, in the opinion of the Program Operator, breaches this rule will have
their affiliate status canceled and any outstanding commissions will be forfeited.
UNPROFESSIONAL CONDUCT
The Program Operator and their associated companies operate with the strictest codes of professional conduct.
Any affiliate who brings the Program Operator or their employees, partners, or associates into disrepute, or who
promotes any form of slander, racism, or unfair business practices, will have their affiliate status canceled and
any outstanding commissions will be forfeited.
The Program Operator reserves the right to reject any affiliate application if, in the Program Operator's
opinion, that person or entity violates established laws or commonly held standards of decency. For example, we
will reject applications from any person or company that promotes any form of violence, illegal activities, or from
applicants who the Program Operator prefers not to be associated with.
AFFILIATE SALES & TRACKING
After signing up for the affiliate program, you will receive a unique affiliate URL which you will use to
advertise the website. When someone clicks through this URL, a cookie will be set in their browser with your
affiliate ID and their IP address may also be logged with your affiliate ID. During that visit to the website or
any later visit, when a purchase is made the commission will be given based on the existence of the cookie.
In order to receive proper credit for sales, a person or entity must purchase through your unique affiliate URL.
Masking or cloaking of the links (whether done by software or by a script and sometimes referred to as "affiliate
link cloaking") may or may not work with parts of the Sites. The Program Operator allows masking or cloaking but
you must provide a repeatable process for our verification of the cloaked link, otherwise the use of the masked or
cloaked link is disallowed.
RIGHTS TO MODIFY AGREEMENT
The Program Operator, and its associated companies may, in good faith, modify any of this agreement and/or the
Terms and Conditions (including the affiliate Commission Schedule), at any time and at its sole discretion, by
posting a change notice or a new agreement on the website. These changes will come into force immediately upon
posting. The affiliate's continued participation in the affiliate program following the said posting of a change
notice or new agreement shall constitute binding acceptance by the affiliate of the change.
If any modification to this agreement is not acceptable to the affiliate, the affiliate's only recourse is to
terminate this agreement. Upon termination of this agreement, the former affiliate must remove all affiliate links
and graphics from its web site, and refrain from publishing same in any manner whatsoever.

system in an effort to increase their payments due. If such misuse is detected, the affiliate will be immediately
terminated as an affiliate and any sums paid and any sums payable as and for commissions will be withheld. All
affiliates further agree to refrain from engaging in any hostile activity toward the system. Any individual that
engages in such hostile activity, such as hacking, shall be held liable for any loss sustained by the Program
Operator, or its associates due to such action.
AS-IS ONLY

stability, quality or dependability. This means that the Program Operator, or its associates is not responsible for

The Program Operator requires your primary email address be listed in your affiliate Profile. Affiliates will
not be able to use the website or participate in the affiliate program until their email addresses are verified.
Those who fail to verify their email address or use an email address that generates an error response consistently

UNAUTHORIZED CHARGING OR RECEIPT OF PAYMENTS THROUGH THE SITES
No affiliate, or other person or entity may use the website, or the Program Operator payment processing system,
for private transactions. Any revenue collected through the website or through the Program Operator payment
processing system may become the sole property of the Program Operator. Any revenue collected through the Program
Operator payment processing system may become the sole property of the Program Operator. Specifically, affiliates
may not link to the website for processing of products or services that are not wholly sponsored by the Program
Operator and authorized by the Program Operator and further, may not link to the website for processing of any
products beyond what the Program Operator has identified as salable products for the website and specific affiliate
sales. Should any affiliate of the Program Operator or other person or entity construct links that process orders
through the Program Operator payment processing system, the act will be considered an attack of computing resources
with intent to damage the website and therefore treated as a serious computer crime. Violators will be prosecuted
to the fullest extent of the law.
CHARGING OR RECEIVING ANY PAYMENT FOR ASSISTING YOUR AFFILIATES
The progress of any affiliate benefits the Program Operator in many ways. If You recruit, sponsor, or obtain an
affiliate through the websites, by any means, You should always be willing to assist such affiliate at no charge to
such affiliate. If you are unwilling to assist such affiliates without charge, your affiliate status with the

compensation for managing the associated and impacted affiliates.

sEnSitIvE. For example, the code 'learn_more' is different from 'Learn_More'. You are responsible for maintaining
the secrecy and security of your affiliate ID number and password. You agree to hold the Program Operator harmless
in the event that any such information is shared by you with any other person or entity whatsoever.
NO PREDATORY ADVERTISING
All affiliates in the affiliate program agree to refrain from any type of predatory advertising practices, the
definition of which shall be at the sole discretion of the Program Operator, and shall include, but not be limited
to, dynamically replacing the affiliate ID of one affiliate with that of another with the effect of "stealing" the
commission away from the affiliate that earned it, whether this be intentional or not. Affiliates may not adjust
any of the supplied affiliate links to reset cookies or bypass other safeguards in the system. Affiliates
understand that engaging in such practices is grounds for immediate termination and forfeiture of any earned
commissions.
LIABILITY
The Program Operator will not be liable for indirect or accidental damages (loss of revenue, commissions) due to
affiliate system sale tracking failures, commission processing system failures, losses of database files or backups
thereof, attacks on computing resources, computer viruses, the continued viability of their products, any results
of "intents of harm" to the program, or acts of God or Nature. The Program Operator makes no claim that the
operation of the websites or that the Program Operator network will be error-free nor will the Program Operator be
held liable for any interruptions or errors.
