Affiliate Terms

The following Affiliate Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into by and between Joey C. Vitale, LLC (“Company”, “we”, or “us”) and the party signing up to become an affiliate of the Company and/or having an accepted application (“Affiliate” or “You”).

The Company has set up a program for affiliates to promote its products in exchange for a share of the proceeds of any sales (the “Affiliate Program”). Except as modified by a separate agreement governing the promotion of any particular product, the terms of this Agreement apply to your participation in any the Company’s Affiliate Program.

Description of our Affiliate Program

Our Affiliate Program permits you to monetize your website, social media user generated content, or online software application (referred to as your “Site"), by placing on your Site links to our online products or services. The links must properly use the special “tagged" link formats we provide and comply with this Agreement (“Special Links").

When our customers click through the Special Links to purchase an item sold or services offered from the Company’s website or take other actions, you can receive commission fees for qualifying purchases, as further described below.

In order to facilitate your advertisement of these items or services, we may make available to you data, images, text, link formats, widgets, links, marketing content, and other linking tools,

application program interfaces, and other information in connection with our Affiliate Program. Such content specifically excludes any data, images, text, or other information or content relating to product offerings on any site other than the Company’s.

Payment Gateways

The Company will pay any sums due to Affiliate as set forth below via PayPal. Affiliate will be responsible for providing their email address necessary to facilitate the use of the payment method.

Payments will only be made to those who are owed $50.00 USD or greater for the applicable payment period. If an affiliate has not reached the $50.00 USD in a given payment period, the amount will roll over and be paid the following payment period in which the $50.00 USD threshold has been reached.

Commissions

The Company will pay Affiliate a fee (a “Commission”), for each customer acquired as a result of a customer being referred to the Company using the unique tracking links assigned to the Affiliate (“Affiliate Links”). The tracking and attribution of sales to Affiliates based upon their tracking links is done automatically by the Company’s marketing automation system. Affiliates will be paid only for sales that are tracked through the Company’s marketing automation system and indicate the Affiliate Link as the source of the sale. The Company intends to use a 120-day cookie as part of its affiliate tracking.

Affiliate will receive a Commission payment equal to 30% of the gross revenue for each sale

attributed to Affiliate using their Affiliate Link.

The Company does not allow referrals to be generated on Affiliate’s own purchases.

Affiliate agrees that the Company will only be liable for payment of the Commissions to the extent it receives all funds due and owing to it from the relevant customer after the refund period has passed. Accordingly, Affiliate will not be entitled to any Commission on a sale that is refunded, for which there is a chargeback, or for which the Company ultimately does not receive the sales proceeds as a result of credit card abuse or fraud.

As the Company has a 30-day money back guarantee, the Company only pays commissions that are older than 30 days.

The Company will pay Commissions on the 15th day of the following month. For example,

commission earned in June will be paid on the 15th day of July.

The Company’s Customers

Our customers are not, by virtue of your participation in the Affiliate Program, your customers. As between you and us, all pricing, terms of sale, rules, policies, and operating procedures concerning customer orders, customer service, and product sales set forth on our websites will apply to those customers and may be changed at any time. You will not handle or address any contacts with any of our customers, and, if contacted by any of our customers for a matter relating to interaction with one of our websites, you will state that those customers must follow contact directions on the Company’s website(s) to address customer service issues.

Referral cookie lifetime

When a potential customer clicks on Affiliate’s referral link, a cookie is stored in their browser to track Affiliate's referral. The cookie is then stored for 120 days to give your referred customers time to decide if they wish to purchase or ask us any pre-sale questions they may have.

A referral won’t be awarded if the customer uses a different browser to purchase than the one they originally used to visit our site (because the cookie does not exist in that browser). Nor will a referral be awarded if the customer purchases after 120 days (because the cookie will expire).

Right To Chargeback, Offset, and Holdback

Affiliate agrees that the Company will have the right to charge back the Affiliate’s account or

otherwise adjust for any previously paid Commissions that ultimately are not commissionable

under this Affiliate Agreement. Specifically, in the event that a sale attributed to an Affiliate is

charged back, refunded for any reason, or otherwise challenged after the Commission has been paid, the Company will have the right to charge back the Commission paid to the Affiliate.

Affiliate further agrees that the Company will have the right to offset any Commissions due and payable to the Affiliate to account for any charge backs the Company experiences on sales for which Affiliate has already received a Commission.

Affiliate further agrees that the Company will have the right to hold back up to 20% of the Commissions due (“the Holdback”) for a period of 90 days to ensure an ability to offset any chargebacks. In the event that the Affiliate’s chargeback percentage exceeds the Holdback for a period of two consecutive months, the Company will have the right to increase the percentage of commissions held back from Affiliate. The Company will provide written notice of any such increased holdback percentage that will apply to Affiliate.

From time to time, the Company may make materials available to Affiliate for use in promoting the Company’s products (“Promotional Material”). The Promotional Material may include the Company’s logos, images of products that are part of the Affiliate Program, display banner advertisements, button links, text links, and other graphic and textual material for use in Affiliate’s promotion efforts.

Upon acceptance into the Affiliate Program, the Company grants Affiliate a revocable, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use the Promotional Material during the term of this Agreement. The Affiliate may use the Promotional Material on its website, in emails, and in other promotional activities.

Affiliate may use any such Promotional Material solely for the purpose of promoting the

Company’s products and/or for linking to the Company’s website. Affiliate may not make

any other use of the Promotional Material and shall not state or imply that the Company has

endorsed the Affiliate.

Affiliate agrees not to alter, add to, subtract from, or otherwise modify any of the Promotional

Material provided by the Company without the express written consent of the Company. Moreover, Affiliate may not make any derivative works using the Promotional Materials.

Confidentiality

Affiliate will not, directly or indirectly, use for his or her own benefit (other than to fulfill his or

her obligations hereunder) or disclose to any third party any Confidential Information (as defined below) of Company without prior, written permission of Company in each instance. Confidential Information means all non-public information of Company, including, without limitation, these Terms and Conditions, sales figures, software passwords, Company list size, list contents, ideas, stories, activities, curriculum, event format, presentation materials, presentation content, inventions, financial information, business plans, business processes, marketing plans, marketing strategies, marketing copy, financial projections, customer lists, customer financial information, personal information of executives, sponsorship strategies, relationships with other vendors, media delivery concepts and systems, including, but not limited to, web-based delivery systems, technical data, software designs, drawings, specifications, models, source code, object code, documentation, diagrams, flowcharts, and other similar information that is proprietary to and confidential information of Company.

This Agreement imposes no obligation of confidentiality on Affiliate with regard to any portion of the Company’s Confidential Information (a) that is generally available to the public at t

he time of disclosure; (b) that becomes generally available to the public after the Promotion without any breach of this Agreement by Affiliate; or (c) that Affiliate can demonstrate by written records he or she had independently developed without any access to or usage of the Confidential Information.

In the event Affiliate becomes or may become legally compelled to disclose any Confidential

Information (whether by deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil

investigative demand or other process or otherwise), Affiliate shall provide to Company prompt prior written notice of such requirement so that Company may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the terms of this Section. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or that Company waives compliance with the provisions hereof, Affiliate shall furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information which he or she is advised by counsel is legally required to be

disclosed, and shall use his or her best efforts to ensure that confidential treatment shall be afforded such disclosed portion of the Confidential Information. In general, Affiliate may not disclose any financial, personal, or business information about Company or its executives without permission from Company. Such disclosure is grounds for legal action, equitable relief, and termination of this Agreement.

Acceptable And Non-Acceptable Marketing Practices

Affiliate will post and make available to all end-users an appropriate privacy policy that complies with all applicable federal, state, and local laws and requirements. The privacy policy must be made available to users prior to the collection of any personally identifiable information, and must clearly disclose all information collection, use, and sharing practices, including any collection of information in connection with the Affiliate Program.

Affiliate will not promote Company’s products: (1) in conjunction with any illegal activity, (2) on

any illegal website, (3) in a manner that a reasonable person would consider threatening, harmful, defamatory, obscene, sexually explicit, harassing, or promoting violence; (4) in a manner that promotes discrimination, (5) in any manner the Company expressly deems as

objectionable, or (6) in a manner that infringes upon the intellectual property or related rights

held by any third party (7) inside of any Facebook groups managed by the Company.

Links in advertisements from Affiliate must point to Affiliate’s landing pages, not the Company’s, as direct linked ads from affiliates will compete with the Company's advertisements for placement and advertisement serving frequency. If Affiliate is advertising in an entirely different place than the Company, than Affiliate may request for an exemption from this requirement.

Affiliate will not make any claims, guarantees, representations, or warranties about the Company’s products, except as expressly authorized herein or in the Company’s Website

Disclaimers

The Affiliate Program, any Promotional Material, and the products and services provided on connection therewith, are provided to Affiliate “as is.”

Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Company expressly disclaims to the

maximum extent allowed by law, all warranties, express implied, or statutory, including but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, and any warranties arising out of course of dealing, usage, or trade.

The Company does not warrant that the Affiliate Program or Promotional Materials will meet

Affiliate’s specific requirements or that the materials are error free or uninterrupted.

The Company expressly disclaims any liability for any act or omission of any third party provider not under the control of the Company, and their products and services.

whatsoever including, without limitation, damages for loss of use, data, or profits arising out of or in any way connected with the use or performance of the Affiliate Program, with the delay or inability to use the Affiliate Program or related service, the provision of or failure to provide services, or for any information, software, products, services, and related graphics obtained through the Affiliate Program, or otherwise arising out of the use of the Affiliate Program, whether based on contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise, even if the Company or any of its suppliers has been advised of the possibility of damages. Because some States or other jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, the above limitations may not apply to You. If Affiliate is dissatisfied with the Affiliate Program or any portion of it, Affiliate’s sole and exclusive remedy is to terminate Affiliate's participation in the Affiliate Program.

To the extent that you attempt to assert any such claim, Affiliate hereby expressly agrees to

Dispute Resolution

Affiliate expressly waives any and all claims Affiliate may have, now or in the future, arising out of or relating to the Affiliate Program.

The Company agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Affiliate, its officers, directors, employees, agents, and third parties for any losses, costs, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) relating to or arising out of an allegation that the Company does not have the right to provide the Promotional Material or that the Promotional Materials violate a third-party’s rights.

Modification

The Company may modify this Agreement at any time by providing Affiliate with notification of the proposed changes by email at Affiliate’s email address, but any such changes will not alter the Company’s obligation to Affiliate with respect to any previously-earned commissions. Any such changes shall become effective ten (10) business days after such notice.

pursuant to the Termination clause above. Continued participation in the program will

constitute your acceptance of and agreement to the modification to this Agreement.

Severability

If any term or provision of this Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be

invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction.

Waiver

explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the Party so waiving. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, no failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power, or

privilege arising from this Agreement will operate or be construed as a waiver of this Agreement, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power, or privilege under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power, or privilege.

Force Majeure

The Company will not be liable or responsible to Affiliate, nor be deemed to have defaulted or

breached this Agreement, for any failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of this
