complete terms and conditions that apply to your participation in our Affiliate
Program. As used in this Agreement, "we" or "us" refers to One World Hosting (oneworldhosting.com)
and "you" refers to the applicant. "Site" means a World Wide Web site and,
identified by exact URL (Unified Resource Locator).
By signing up for a Affiliate
Account, you are agreeing to the terms specified in this agreement. Violation of
any terms and conditions included in this agreement may result in termination of
your account, and possible forfeit of affiliate revenue. You must be 18 years of
age or older to enter into this Agreement with us.
1. Enrollment in the
Program
To begin the enrolment process,
you will submit a complete Affiliate application via our site. 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. Unsuitable sites
include those that:
- Promotes sexually explicit materials
- Promotes
violence
- Promotes discrimination based on race, sex, religion, nationality,
disability, sexual orientation, or age
- Promotes illegal activities
-
Incorporates any materials which infringe or assist others to infringe on any
copyright, trademark or other intellectual property rights or to violate the
law
- Is otherwise in any way unlawful, harmful, threatening, defamatory,
obscene, harassing, or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable to us in
our sole discretion.
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.
2. Partner
sites
Once you have been notified that your site has been
accepted into the Program, we will provide you with guidelines and text or graphical links
to use in linking to our service. As an affiliate you can
promote our web hosting service by placing links to us on your web site.
In order to
receive commissions for referring customers to us you must submit URLs to your web site(s) where
you are going to place Affiliate links. One World Hosting will carefully
examine your web site and notify you if the site is acceptable for participating
in the Affiliate program. Once your web site is approved for participation your
are entitled to place Affiliate links to the web site and receive commissions
for referring customers.
In order to specify your web site as a Partner site you
must be either the owner of that site or an authorized representative of the
site owner. The failure to comply this condition will result in immediate
termination of your Affiliate membership and possible forfeit of unpaid
commissions.
3. Acceptable Advertising
Methods
As an affiliate, you earn revenue by
generating sales of our web hosting packages. You generate these sales by encouraging
web users on your website to visit our site through Affiliate links. You
may advertise us via:
- Text Links or endorsements on
your site(s)
- Graphical Banners and Buttons on your site(s)
If you
have any questions about whether a method of advertising is allowed, please
contact via a message board in your affiliate account.
4. Order
Processing
We will process orders
placed by customers who follow Affiliate links from your site to our site. We
reserve the right to reject orders that do not comply with any requirements that
we may establish periodically. We will be responsible for all aspects of order
processing and fulfilment. 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 Affiliate
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 in our discretion.
5. Referral Fees
For
a Product sale to be eligible to earn a referral fee, the customer must
click-through a Affiliate link from your site to our site, and purchase our product
within 30 days of first click-through.
6. Referral Fee
Schedule
You will earn referral fees based on
Qualified Orders at the rate of $25 per confirmed
order.
7. Non-Qualified
Orders
Orders placed by
affiliates themselves do not qualify for commission. In addition, there may be
occasions where orders will be refunded at the request of the purchaser, or
orders may be charged-back due to credit card fraud. Affiliate commission is NOT
paid on these orders. Resold accounts also do not qualify for
affiliate commissions. Finally, our existing "Referral
Reward" program is also mutually exclusive with respect to
affiliate commissions - both cannot be applied to any single
order.
8. Referral Fees
Payment
Affiliates are paid a commission, based on values set in
Referral Fee Schedule. Commissions for qualified orders will be credited to
your account within 30 days. If an Affiliate account is not earning commissions
for two years we have the right to terminate Affiliate membership and forfeit any unpaid commissions.
A total commission credit of $100 or more can at the customer's
option be paid out in the form of a direct check payment, sent
to the address held on file for the Affiliate. One World
Hosting reserves the right to change commission
rates without notice, but you will always be paid based on the rate in effect on
the day the sales lead was generated.
9. Term of the
Agreement
The term of this Agreement
will begin upon our acceptance of your Program application and Partner web site
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 any other promotional materials that we provided to you as a
partner. You are eligible to earn referral fees only on our sales of web hosting
service 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.
10.
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.
11. Relationship of
Parties
You and we are
independent contractors, and nothing in this Agreement will 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.
12. Limitation of

indirect, special, or consequential damages (or 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.
