This Agreement contains the complete terms and conditions that apply to an individual's or entity’s participation in the C.H.E.K Institute Affiliates Program (the "Program"). As used in this Agreement, "we" means C.H.E.K Institute, "you" means the applicant, and "product" means any item offered for sale on the C.H.E.K Institute website. "Site" means a World Wide Web site. "Our site" means the C.H.E.K Institute’s site, and "your site" means the site that you list on your Partner Program application.

1. Program Enrollment

To begin the enrollment process, you must submit a complete Partner Program application via our site. We will evaluate your application and 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 sites that:

• Promote, contain, or link to sexually explicit materials
• Promote violence
• Promote discrimination based on race, sex, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation, or age
• Promote illegal activities
• Promote products and/or services that are contrary to the ethical values of the C.H.E.K Institute
• Contain any libelous, defamatory, or disparaging materials

2. Listing C.H.E.K Institute products on Your Web Site

If your application is accepted, you will be given access to a password protected area of our site, where you may download banners, links to our site and other materials (collectively, "our Materials"). You will be responsible for monitoring our site for updates to our Materials. You agree to maintain the confidentiality of your password to our site, and not to provide your password to any third party. You will promptly notify us of any unauthorized use of your password.

You may display as many links to the C.H.E.K Institute’s website as you would like on your site, as long as you use the format made available on the password protected area of our site. If you incorporate our marks or links into a site other than your site, this Agreement will automatically terminate. You may not alter any banners, logos, or other content included on our site without written permission from the C.H.E.K Institute. All modified links must be approved in writing by the C.H.E.K Institute. We reserve the right in our sole discretion to monitor your site at any time and from time to time to determine if you are in compliance with the terms of the Agreement. You may not at any time list policies or terms, availability information, special deals, discounts or gifts with purchase or similar information regarding the products on your site.

3. Order Processing

We will process product orders placed by customers who follow approved links from your site to the C.H.E.K Institute’s website. We reserve the right to reject orders that do not comply with any requirements that we have established or may establish in the future. 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 approved links from your site to our website and will send you reports summarizing this sales activity. The form, content, and frequency of the reports may vary from time to time in our discretion. To permit accurate tracking, reporting, and fee accrual, you must ensure that the links between your site and our site are properly formatted. If our product pages change and you have links that direct visitors to those pages, we will redirect your visitors to an appropriate page automatically.

4. Commissions

We will pay you commission on all product sales to third parties. For a product sale to generate a commission, the customer must follow a link from your site to our site, purchase the product using our automated ordering system, accept delivery of the product at the shipping destination, and remit full payment to us.

5. Fee Schedule

You will earn commission based on the sale price of qualifying products, according to fee schedules to be established by us. Retail price means the sale price a customer pays for a product and excludes costs for shipping, handling, gift wrapping, returns, charge-backs, fraud, exchanges and taxes. The current commission schedule is as follows:

6. Fee Payment

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, we will pay you commission on a quarterly basis, so long as the commission earned in the previous quarter is US$15 or more. Approximately 30 days following the end of each quarter (quarters end March 31, June 30, September 30, December 31), we will send you a check for the commission earned on products that were shipped during the previous quarter, less any taxes that we are required by law to withhold. If the commission earned is less than US$15 we will not send payment, but roll forward the commission earned to the subsequent quarter. If a product that generated a commission is returned by the customer, we will deduct the corresponding fee from your next monthly payment. If there is no subsequent payment, we will send you a bill for the fee. Commission earned can be used by you as credit toward future purchases by the web affiliate, if you inform us in writing that you choose this option. Once chosen, you may not change back to the check payment method for a minimum of six months.For US residents and citizens, the C.H.E.K Institute reserves the right to withhold any payments until you have provided us with a properly executed W-9 form as prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service. Until the C.H.E.K Institute receives your signed W-9 form by fax to fax number +1 760-477-2630, attn: C.H.E.K Institute affiliate program, any commission checks payable to you will be withheld.

We may change our policies and operating procedures at any time. We will determine the prices to be charged for products sold under this Program in accordance with our own pricing policies. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to present accurate information, but we cannot guarantee the availability or price of any particular product.

8. Identifying Yourself as a Partner
