Enrollment
in the Program
To begin the enrollment process, you will submit a complete
Program application via the We-Exist-Store.com - Gift Shop for the Busy Executive Site. 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:
promote sexually explicit
materials
promote violence
promote discrimination based on race, sex,
religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation, or age
promote illegal
activities
otherwise violate intellectual property rights.
By participating in the Program you agree that you will not engage in any such activities. If we reject your application, you are welcome to reapply to the Program at any time. 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.
Links on Your Site
Once you have been notified
that your site has been accepted into the Program, you may provide on your site
one or more links to the We-Exist-Store.com - Gift Shop for the Busy Executive Site. We also have ready-made Web page templates that can be used to link to our Site. Please note that the templates are copyrighted by We-Exist-Store.com - Gift Shop for the Busy Executive and all logos are trademarked by We-Exist-Store.com - Gift Shop for the Busy Executive.
We will provide you with guidelines to use in linking to the We-Exist-Store.com - Gift Shop for the Busy Executive Site. To permit accurate tracking, reporting, and referral fee accrual, we will provide you with special "tagged" link formats ("Affiliate Links") to be used in all links between your site and the We-Exist-Store.com - Gift Shop for the Busy Executive Site.
You must ensure that each of the links between your site and the We-Exist-Store.com - Gift Shop for the Busy Executive Site properly utilizes such special link formats. You will earn referral fees only with respect to activity on the We-Exist-Store.com - Gift Shop for the Busy Executive Site occurring directly through Affiliate Links; we will not be liable to you with respect to any failure by you to use Affiliate Links, including to the extent that such failure may result in any reduction of amounts that would otherwise be paid to you pursuant to this Agreement.
You acknowledge that, by participating in the Affiliate Program and placing Affiliate Links within your site, we may receive information from or about visitors to your site or communications between your site and those visitors. Your participation in the Program constitutes your specific and unconditional consent to and authorization for our access to, receipt, storage, use, and disclosure of any and all such information, consistent with the policies and procedures set forth in the Privacy Notice on the We-Exist-Store.com - Gift Shop for the Busy Executive Site.
Order Processing
We will process
Product orders placed by customers who follow Affiliate Links from your site to
the We-Exist-Store.com - Gift Shop for the Busy Executive 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 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
by using Affiliate Links from your site to the We-Exist-Store.com - Gift Shop for the Busy Executive 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.
Referral
Fees
We will pay you referral
fees on certain Product sales to third parties. For a Product sale to be eligible
to earn a referral fee, the customer must click-through a Affiliate Link from your
site to the We-Exist-Store.com - Gift Shop for the Busy Executive Site, and add the Product to his or her shopping
cart during that session. The session ends upon one of the following events: (a)
24 hours elapses from the customer's initial click-through, (b) the customer orders
the Product, or (c) the customer follows a third party's Affiliate Link. We will
only pay referral fees on eligible Products after order, payment and shipping
have occurred.
We will not, however, pay referral fees on any Products that are added to a customer's Shopping Cart after the customer has reentered the We-Exist-Store.com - Gift Shop for the Busy Executive Site (other than through a Affiliate Link from your site), as determined by us, even if the customer previously followed a link from your site to the We-Exist-Store.com - Gift Shop for the Busy Executive Site. In addition, gift certificates and gift cards are not eligible to earn 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 associates in any manner. Such purchases may result (in our sole discretion) in the withholding of referral fees and/or the termination of this Agreement.
Referral
Fee Schedule
For Products sold during customer sessions initiated through
Affiliate Links on your site, you will earn (subject to the other terms of this
Agreement) referral fees in accordance with the "Referral Fee Structure"
described below.
Referral Fee Structure
For Products sold during
sessions initiated through Affiliate Links on your site, you will earn (subject
to the other terms of the Agreement):
You earn 5% commission on the sale of the merchandise. This does not include shipping and handling, sales tax, gift certificates and gift cards.
For example, if the order total is $71.66 and breakdown is the following: ITEM:$54.95, TAX:$4.26, S&H:$12.45, you will earn 5% commission on the item total only which is $54.95. Therefore, your commission for this order is $2.75.

You must request for the payment.

solely responsible for the development, operation, and maintenance of your site

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 the We-Exist-Store.com - Gift Shop for the Busy Executive Site, and all of our trademarks,
trade dress, and logos, and all other materials provided by or on behalf of us
to you pursuant hereto or in connection with the Program.
You are eligible to earn referral fees only on sales of Products 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.
