this Agreement.
2.Links on Your

Program, you may provide on your site one or more of the following types

links: You may select one or more Products to list on your
site. A "Product" is any book, satellite programming or
consumer electronics product listed on our site under any of the
"DIRECTV," "Programming", or "Consumer
Electronics" tabs, but does not include any other type
of product, products located in any other part of our site or any
products not fulfilled by us, such as products found through our
product finder feature which allows users to find products sold by
other merchants on the Internet. For each selected Product, you
will display on your site a short description, review, or other
reference. You will be responsible for the content, style, and
placement of these references. You will provide a Special Link (as
defined below) from each Product reference on your site to the
corresponding Orbitsat.com online store entry. Each such link will
connect directly to a single item in our online cyberstore. You
may add or delete Products (and related links) from your site at
any time without our approval. Satellites Systems (but not other
types of Products) that are individually listed and linked as
described above are referred to as "Individually Linked
Satellite Systems." You may not list products on your site
that are not "Products" as defined above.

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 our site. You must ensure
that each of the links between your site and our site properly
utilizes such special link formats. Links to our 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 only earn referral fees with respect to
activity on our 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 which would otherwise be paid
to you pursuant to this Agreement. |
3. Order
Processing
We will process product orders placed by customers who follow special
links from your site to our site. We reserve the right to reject orders
that do not comply with any requirements such as DIRECTV Programming
agreement. 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
using special 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 at our discretion.
4. 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 follow a Special Link
from your site to our site, select and purchase the Product using our
automated ordering system, accept delivery of the Product at the
shipping destination, and remit full payment to us. We will not,
however, pay referral fees on any Products that are added to a
customer's Shopping Cart or are purchased via our Add to Cart feature
after the customer has reentered our site (other than through a Special
Link), even if the customer previously followed a link from your site to
our site. In addition, Products listed in our online Cyberstore or in
search results as "No Stock" or "Discontinued" are
not eligible for any referral fees. You may not purchase products during
sessions initiated through the links on your site for your own use, for
resale or commercial use of any kind. This includes orders for customers
or on behalf of customers or orders for products to be used by you or
your friends, relatives or Partners in any manner. Such purchases may
result (in our sole discretion) in the withholding of referral fees or
the termination of this Agreement. Products that are eligible to earn
referral fees under the rules set forth above are referred to as
"Qualifying Products."
In addition, you may not directly or
indirectly offer any person or entity any consideration or incentive
(including, without limitation, payment of money or awarding of any
benefits) for using Special Links on your site to access our site (e.g.,
by implementing any "rewards" program for persons or entities
who use Special Links on your site to access our site). If we determine,
in our sole discretion, that you have offered any person or entity any
such consideration or incentive, we may (without limiting any other
rights or remedies available to us) withhold any referral fees otherwise
payable to you under this Agreement.
5. Referral Fee
Schedule
You will earn referral fees based on qualifying revenues according to
referral fee schedules to be established by us. "qualifying
revenues" are revenues derived by us from our sales of qualifying
products, excluding costs for shipping, handling, gift-wrapping, taxes,
service charges, credit card processing fees, and bad debt. The current
referral fee schedule is:
- 10% of Qualifying Revenues from the
sale of each Individually Satellite products that, on the date of
order, is listed in our cyberstore at 10% to 30% off the
manufacturer's list price and that is added to the customer's
Shopping Cart directly from the first page that results from
following a Special Link to the Individually Linked Book.
- 5% of Qualifying Revenues from sales
of all other Qualifying Products (except as noted below), including:
- Individually Linked Satellite
products that, on the date of order, are listed in our cyberstore
at the manufacture's list price (such as special order
equipment) or at a deep discount of more than 30% off the
manufacturer's list price; and Qualifying Products other than
satellite equipment (e.g., HDTV, DVD players, Books, etc.).
However, referral fees for consumer electronics products are
limited to a maximum of $50 per item, regardless of the
Qualifying Revenues derived from the sale of any such item. You
should note that only satellite equipment can qualify as
"Individually Linked equipment" and that the referral
fee percentage for any Qualifying Products other than satellite
equipment is 5% of Qualifying Revenues (up to a maximum of $ 50
for consumer electronics products), regardless of whether such
item is individually listed on your site.
6. 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 on our sales of Qualifying Products
that were shipped during that quarter, less any taxes that we are
required by law to withhold. However, if the referral fees payable to
you for any calendar quarter are less than $100.00, we will hold those
referral fees until the total amount due is at least $100.00 or (if
earlier) until this Agreement is terminated. If a Product that generated
a referral fee is returned by the customer, we will deduct the
corresponding referral fee from your next quarterly payment. If there is
no subsequent payment, we will send you a bill for the referral
fee.
