Please be advised that this Agreement is subject to change at any time, in Company’s sole discretion. Changes may include, without limitation, changes in the payout structure, payment procedures and other Affiliate Program-related policies. The continued participation by Affiliate constitutes agreement by Affiliate to any and all changes to this Agreement in effect at that time. Affiliate’s continued use of the Skyrocket Network Website after such modification and notification thereof constitutes Affiliate’s consent to such changes. Affiliate agrees that Affiliate is relying solely on this Agreement in making Affiliate’s decision to enroll and that Affiliate is not relying on any representation, guarantee or statement other than as stated in this Agreement. This Agreement shall be deemed incorporated by reference into any insertion order (the "Insertion Order") submitted by Skyrocket Network or its agency set forth in the Insertion Order. All Insertion Orders are subject to acceptance in writing by Skyrocket Network.

TERMS OF AGREEMENT/TERMINATION: The term of this Agreement will begin upon Company’s written acceptance of this Affiliate Agreement and will end when terminated by either party as set forth herein. Affiliate may terminate this Agreement at any time upon three (3) days prior written notice to Company. Company may reject any Affiliate Websites and/or terminate Affiliate’s participation in the Affiliate Program and/or this Agreement immediately at any time and for any reason, in Company’s sole discretion including, without limitation: (i) where Company believes that Affiliate is in any way in breach of this Agreement; (ii) where Company believes that any website owned, operated or controlled by Affiliate (“Affiliate Websites”) or any e-mail database owned, operated or controlled by Affiliate (“Affiliate Database”) is unsuitable for the Affiliate Program for any reason including, without limitation, where Company, in its sole discretion, deems that the Affiliate Websites contain material that could be considered unlawful, harmful, threatening, defamatory, obscene, harassing or otherwise controversial or objectionable; (iii) Company, in its sole discretion, deems that Affiliate is engaging in deceptive marketing; (iv) where Company believes that Affiliate is not, in any fashion, conducting permission-based e-mail marketing that fully complies with: (a) all applicable international, federal and state laws, rules and regulations including, but not limited to, the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003, as amended from time to time (“CAN-SPAM”); or (b) the applicable published rules or guidelines of the Internet access service (“IAS”) network, domain or e-mail servers to which it is transmitting commercial e-mail.

If requested, Affiliate will certify in a writing signed by Affiliate or an authorized officer of Affiliate that all such confidential and/or proprietary information has been returned or destroyed.

TERMS OF PAYMENT: Skyrocket Network shall pay commissions (“Commissions”) according to the payment terms of the applicable Insertion Order for the given Advertising Campaign based on the Compensable Transactions recorded by the Transaction Tracking Codes. If payment terms are not specified in the Insertion Order, Company shall pay Affiliate Commissions approximately fifteen (15) days after the last day of a given calendar month, for Commissions earned in that month. All payments to Publisher by Skyrocket Network are contingent upon Skyrocket Network receiving payment from the Advertisers. In the event Skyrocket Network fails to receive payment from an Advertiser, Skyrocket Network shall have no payment obligation to Publisher with respect to that Advertiser and Publisher will have the right to contact the non-paying Advertiser directly. Publisher accepts all risks associated with non-payment by an Advertiser and acknowledges that Skyrocket Network is not a guarantor of any Advertiser payment obligation. If an Advertiser does not pay on time, Skyrocket Network will notify Publisher and may, in its sole discretion, offer its reasonable assistance in matters related to collections.

CONTENT: Company will make available to Affiliate certain marketing pieces created by Advertiser and/or Skyrocket Network. In particular, Skyrocket Network will post various creative materials, text links and/or banner advertisements (collectively, the "Content") on the Skyrocket Network Website for download, use and publication by Affiliates. Unless otherwise stated in writing by Skyrocket Network, each piece of Content made available to Affiliate in connection with any Advertising Campaign must include, in unaltered form, the Skyrocket Network special transaction tracking codes as embedded in all such Content (the “Transaction Tracking Codes”). Affiliate will not knowingly, modify, circumvent, impair, disable or otherwise interfere with any Transaction Tracking Codes and/or other technology and/or methodology required or made available by Skyrocket Network to be used in connection with any and all Content. Skyrocket Network may change or revise the Content that is made available hereunder at any time, in its sole discretion, and Affiliate agrees to use only the most recent version of the Content that is posted on the Skyrocket Network Website. Affiliate may not alter, modify or otherwise change the Content in any manner, whatsoever. Company may terminate Affiliate’s right to use the Content for any reason at any time, in its sole discretion. Affiliate may only use Content that is supplied by Skyrocket Network and that is posted on the Skyrocket Network Website. Use, or the attempted use, of any other marketing materials for the specified Advertising Campaign will result in the immediate termination of this Agreement, without notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Affiliate must comply, immediately, with any and all requests by Skyrocket Network to modify, alter or otherwise change the positioning, placement, frequency and/or other editorial decisions related to Content. Affiliate must immediately remove Content upon receiving notice from Skyrocket Network or upon the termination or expiration of any applicable Advertising Campaign. Affiliate may NOT use brand names and/or trademarks of another party (e.g., Milton Bradley or Apple) in the "subject" or "from" lines or body of any commercial e-mail transmission. Affiliate may not, nor knowingly permit any of its partners to use third-party trademarks in any other way to direct traffic to any Affiliate Websites or Advertiser website including, but not limited to, purchasing keywords from a search engine service provider that include the trademark, service mark and/or brand name, or any derivative of any such trademark, service mark or brand name, of any of the Advertisers, Skyrocket Network and/or any of their respective affiliates or clients. Affiliate must place or use the Content only with the intention of delivering valid Compensable Transactions. Affiliate may not, nor knowingly permit any person to, activate the Content or inflate the amount of Compensable Transactions through any deceptive or misleading practice, method or technology including, but not limited to, the use of any spyware, adware, device, program, robot, Iframes, hidden frames, redirects, spiders, computer script or other automated, artificial or fraudulent methods designed to appear like an individual, real live person performing a Compensable Transaction. Affiliate agrees and acknowledges that it shall not, nor shall it permit any Sub-Licensees: (i) to use incentivize offers, create the appearance of incentivezing offers, establish or cause to be established any promotion that provides any sweepstakes entries, rewards, points or other compensation to be earned in connection with generating Compensable Transactions, or otherwise attempt to induce Internet users to click on any of the Content through use of any other incentives, without obtaining the prior written approval of Skyrocket Network; (ii) place any statement in close proximity to the Content requesting that e-mail recipients or Internet users “click” on the Content (e.g., “Please click here”); (iii) place misleading statements in close proximity to the Content; (iv) take control of a user's computer by delivering advertisements that a user of a computer cannot close without turning off the computer or closing all sessions of the Internet browser for the computer; (v) install or execute on another's computer one or more additional software program(s) without consent of the user (In addition, Affiliate must clearly provide instructions to disable the software, such that the software is easily identifiable and the removal can be performed without undue effort or knowledge by the user of the computer); (vii) distribute spyware or other similar harmful software; and/or (viii) redirect traffic to a website other than the website listed by the particular Advertiser. The Affiliate Websites must be fully functional at all levels; no "under construction" sites or sections shall be permitted. Spawning process pop-ups are prohibited. Affiliate is solely responsible for all consumer complaints relating to e-mail campaigns conducted by Affiliate. Affiliate represents and warrants that it will respond to all consumer complaints within forty-eight (48) hours of notification. In addition to all other available remedies, Skyrocket Network may withhold and suspend Commission payment until any and all outstanding consumer complaints are resolved. All costs associated with such required actions shall be deducted from the Affiliate Commission. All payments to Affiliate by Skyrocket Network are contingent upon Skyrocket Network receiving payment from the Advertisers. In the event Skyrocket Network fails to receive payment from an Advertiser, Skyrocket Network shall have no payment obligation to Affiliate with respect to that Advertiser and Affiliate will have the right to contact the non-paying Advertiser directly. Affiliate accepts all risks associated with non-payment by an Advertiser and acknowledges that Skyrocket Network is not a guarantor of any Advertiser payment obligation. If an Advertiser does not pay on time, Skyrocket Network will notify Affiliate and may, in its sole discretion, offer its reasonable assistance in matters related to collections.

AUDIT: Affiliate agrees that at all times during the term of this Agreement it shall maintain accurate books and records relating to its use of the Content and Suppression Lists (as that term is defined below). Affiliate agrees that Skyrocket Network, or any designee of Skyrocket Network that is legally bound to obligations of confidentiality and non-disclosure, shall have the right during the term of this Agreement to reasonably examine, inspect, audit and review all such books, records and any source documents used in the preparation thereof during normal business hours upon written notice to Affiliate at least seven (7) business days prior to the commencement of any such examination, inspection, review or audit. Such audit shall be at Skyrocket Network’s sole cost and expense and shall be strictly limited to those books and records that specifically relate to Affiliate’s use of the Content and Suppression Lists. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Skyrocket Network uncovers any material misconduct associated with Affiliate’s use of the Content and/or Suppression Lists, then the audit shall be at the sole cost and expense of Affiliate.
