TERMS AND CONDITIONS
PainfulPleasures.com
Affiliate Agreement
This PainfulPleasures.com Affiliate Agreement contains the complete terms
and conditions that apply to an individual's or entity's participation
in the PainfulPleasures.com Affiliate Program (the “Program”). This Agreement
is made and entered into by PainfulPleasures.com, and you, the applicant.
As used in this Agreement, "we" means PainfulPleasures.com and "you" means
the applicant. "Site" means a World Wide Web site and, depending on the
context, refers either to (a) the PainfulPleasures.com site located at
the URL http://www.PainfulPleasures.com or such other site as PainfulPleasures.com
might designate, or (b) the site that you will link to our Site and which
you have identified in your Program application.
Agreement Following Acceptance
The following terms and conditions will be effective if and only if PainfulPleasures.com
accepts your application. By applying to be a PainfulPleasures.com affiliate,
you agree to be bound and abide by such terms and conditions.
1. Links on Your Site. To permit accurate tracking, reporting,
and referral fee accrual, we will authorize special link formats ("Special
Links") 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
uses such special link formats. 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 that would otherwise
be paid to you pursuant to this Agreement. Each Special Link, as viewed
by a customer, will be in the form of a PainfulPleasures.com logo, text
link or graphic provided by us. The PainfulPleasures.com logo for each
Special Link will be served by the PainfulPleasures.com servers, which
can only be accessed by using the special "tagged" link formats. You agree
only to use the PainfulPleasures.com logos, text links and images provided
by us, and you further agree not to obtain or use PainfulPleasures.com
logos or images from any other source. Your Site's title and other trademarks
and linking logos must appear at least as prominently as the PainfulPleasures.com
logo that is used to create the Special Link.
2. 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 that we periodically
may establish. 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. PainfulPleasures.com
will track sales made to customers who purchase products using Special
Links from your Site to our Site and will be solely responsible for making
available to you reports summarizing this sales activity through our reporting
site. The form, content, and frequency of the reports may vary from time
to time at our discretion. You hereby agree not to disclose the information
contained in these reports to any third party without prior written consent
from PainfulPleasures.com.
3. Referral Fees. We will pay you referral fees on certain product
sales to customers as provided in Section 4. 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 ("Qualifying Purchase"). We
will not, however, pay referral or other fees on any products that are
subsequently purchased after the customer has reentered the PainfulPleasures.com
Site other than through a Special Link from your Site, even if the customer
previously followed a Special Link from your Site to the PainfulPleasures.com
Site. You may not purchase products during sessions initiated through
the Special Links on your Site for your own use, 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 or the termination of this Agreement.
4. Referral Fee Schedule. You agree and acknowledge that the referral
fees you earn pursuant to Section 3 will be in amounts established by
us and posted on our reporting site together with the application materials.
The Referral Fee Schedule is incorporated into this Agreement by reference.
We reserve the right to modify the Referral Fee Schedule at any time in
our sole discretion upon prior notice to you. Referral fees shall be limited
to a maximum of 15% per item unless otherwise provided in the Referral
Fee Schedule. The referral fees shall be calculated as a percentage of
"qualifying revenues", which are revenues derived by us from Qualifying
Purchases, excluding revenues derived from and costs associated with shipping,
handling, gift-wrapping, taxes, service charges, credit card processing
fees, bad debt, and promotional discounts as advertised.
5. Referral Fee Payment. Approximately 30 days following the end
of each calendar month, we will send you a check for the referral fees
earned on net sales of products that were shipped during that month, less
any taxes that we are required by law to withhold. However, if the referral
fees payable to you for any calendar month are less than $25.00, we will
hold those referral fees until the total amount due is at least $25.00
or 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 monthly payment. If there is no subsequent payment,
we will send you a bill for the returned product referral fee.
6. Policies and Pricing. Customers who buy products through this
Program will be deemed to be our customers. Accordingly, all PainfulPleasures.com
rules, policies, and operating procedures concerning customer orders,
customer service, and product sales will apply to those customers. We
may change our policies and operating procedures at any time. For example,
we will determine the prices to be charged for products sold under this
Program in accordance with our own pricing policies. Product prices and
availability may vary from time to time. We will use commercially reasonable
efforts to present accurate information, but we cannot guarantee the availability
or price of any particular product.
7. PainfulPleasures.com Marks. The PainfulPleasures.com trademarks,
trade names, designs and logos made available to you through us ("PainfulPleasures.com

upon the rights of any third party (including, but not limited to, copyrights,
trademarks, privacy, or other personal or proprietary rights); and (d)
ensuring that materials posted on your Site are not libelous or unlawful,
or do not violate any provision of this Agreement. We disclaim all liability
for the matters stated in this Section 9. Further, you will indemnify
and hold PainfulPleasures.com, its officer, directors, employees and agents,
harmless from all claims, damages, and expenses (including, without limitation,
