THIS
AFFILIATES PROGRAM AGREEMENT, INCLUDING APPLICABLE OFFERS (COLLECTIVELY, THE
"AGREEMENT"), IS A LEGAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND LASERRAVE, LLC.
("LASERRAVE") FOR PARTICIPATION IN LASERRAVE'S AFFILIATES PROGRAM
("PROGRAM"). BY REGISTERING FOR AND PARTICIPATING IN THE PROGRAM, YOU
AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE
TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, DO NOT REGISTER FOR OR PARTICIPATE IN THE PROGRAM. IF
YOU DO NOT AGREE TO AND ACCEPT THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT IN ITS ENTIRETY AND
YOU ARE ALREADY A LASERRAVE AFFILIATE, IMMEDIATELY TERMINATE ALL USES OF
LASERRAVE'S MARKS AND ANY LINKS TO LASERRAVE'S WEBSITE(S). AS USED IN THIS
AGREEMENT "WE" MEANS LASERRAVE AND "YOU" MEANS THE PARTICIPATING
WEB AFFILIATE ("AFFILIATE" OR "YOU").
This
agreement governs participation in the LASERRAVE Affiliates Program only.
Once you are accepted into the Program, you
will be able to participate in the Program subject to the terms and conditions
of this Agreement. You should also note that if you are accepted to participate
in the Program and your Site is thereafter determined (in our sole discretion)
to be unsuitable based on the criteria below for the Program, we may terminate
this Agreement. Below is a list of affiliate content that is unacceptable:
1. "LASERRAVE
Site" means the website located at the URLs www.laserrave.com and www.laser-rave.com.
2. "Offer" means a specific
offer posted by LASERRAVE on its Program Site. The terms and conditions of such
Offers shall be incorporated into this Agreement.
3. "Qualifying
Link" means a LASERRAVE link from your Site to LASERRAVE's Site using
one of the Required URLs or any other URL or graphic link provided by LASERRAVE
for use in the Program.
4. "Qualifying
Product" means a LASERRAVE product or service that is offered for sale
by LASERRAVE at the LASERRAVE Site and is the subject of an Offer.
5. "Qualifying
Product Sales" means sales of Qualifying Products offered at LASERRAVE's Site
and specifically excludes sales of LASERRAVE products and services sold: (a) by
phone, (b) through any LASERRAVE sales segment other than its web site.
6. "Qualifying
Product Revenues" means revenues derived by us from Qualifying Product
Sales, excluding costs for shipping, handling, taxes, service charges, credit
card processing fees, bad debt, and promotional discounts as advertised.
7. "Required
URLs" means the special URLs specified in an Offer to be used to link
from your Site to LASERRAVE's Site.
8. "Session" means the period
between the time a Customer (as defined in Section 5.1 below) first clicks on a
Qualifying Link on your Site and the time the Customer makes an online purchase
at the LASERRAVE Site, provided that both the click on the Qualifying Link and
such online purchase is made during the same browser session. By way of example
and for clarification, a Session will occur if a Customer exits the LASERRAVE
Site after clicking through a Qualifying Link but returns directly to the
LASERRAVE Site during the same browser session. However, a Session will not
occur if a Customer exits the browser after clicking through a Qualifying Link,
then relaunches the browser and returns to the LASERRAVE Site.
9. "Site" means a World Wide
Web Site and, depending on the context, includes the website that you will link
to the LASERRAVE Site as identified in your
registration form.
0. From time to time,
LASERRAVE may post Offers to pay participating LASERRAVE web affiliates, a
specified referral fee on certain Qualifying Product Sales to third parties
through a Qualifying Link.
1. The terms of an Offer
shall be governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. However, in
the event of any inconsistency between the terms of the specific Offer and the
terms of this Agreement, the terms of the Offer shall govern.
2. At any time prior to
you providing a Qualifying Link, LASERRAVE may with or without notice (a)
change, suspend or discontinue any aspect of an Offer or (b) remove, alter, or
modify any graphic or banner ad provided to you pursuant to an Offer. You agree
to promptly implement any request from LASERRAVE to remove, alter or modify any
graphic or banner ad submitted by you that is being used in connection with an Offer.
0. You shall only link
your Site to areas within LASERRAVE's Site using Required URLs for the Program.
You may post as many links to the Required URLs as you like. The position,
prominence and nature of links on LASERRAVE's Site shall comply with any
requirements specified in the Offer, but otherwise will be in LASERRAVE's
discretion. Only valid Qualifying Links will be tracked for purposes of
determining referral fees that you may be eligible to receive on Qualifying
Product Sales generated through your Site.
1. LASERRAVE will not,
and is not obligated to, make any representations, warranties or other
statements concerning you, your Site, any of your products or services, or your
Site policies, except as expressly authorized by the Offer.
2. You will be solely
responsible for the development, operation and maintenance of your Site and for
all materials that appear on your Site. We disclaim all liability for such
materials. You shall indemnify and hold us harmless from all claims, damages
and expenses (including, without limitation, attorney's fees) relating to the
development, operation, maintenance and contents of your Site. You are also
responsible for notifying us of any malfunctioning of the Required URLs or
other problems with your participation in the Program in accordance with the

in normal course to all concerns upon notification.

any representations, warranties or other statements concerning LASERRAVE or
LASERRAVE's Site and(2) protect LASERRAVE’s confidential information.
0. We agree to pay you
the referral fee based on Qualifying Product Revenues specified in the Offer
if: (a) a visitor to the LASERRAVE Site (a "Customer") purchases a
Qualifying Product, accepts the Qualifying Product, and remits full payment to
us; (b) that Customer has accessed the LASERRAVE Site and completed a
Qualifying Product Sale online via a Qualifying Link from your Site, provided
that it is the last link to the LASERRAVE Site that the Customer uses during a
Session where a sale of a product to Customers occurs; (c) that Customer does
not subsequently return or cancel the Qualifying Product purchased for three
months or 90 days; (d) the Customer's order for the Qualifying Product did not
involve interaction with a live LASERRAVE sales consultant (e.g., Customer
saves the order for the Qualifying Product in a "Cart" and then calls
a LASERRAVE sales consultant to complete the order); and (e) you have not
otherwise received a referral fee, discount or other payment from LASERRAVE
based on that Qualifying Product and/or Service Sale. In the event that a Customer purchases a LASERRAVE product or
service through another LASERRAVE sales segment after accessing the LASERRAVE
Site through a Qualifying Link, LASERRAVE is not obligated to pay you a
referral fee.
1. LASERRAVE shall have
the sole right and responsibility for processing all orders made by Customers.
You acknowledge that all agreements relating to sales to Customers shall be
between LASERRAVE and the Customer. Customers who buy products through this
Program will be deemed to be Customers of LASERRAVE. Accordingly, all LASERRAVE
rules, policies, and operating procedures concerning customer orders and
returns, customer service, customer data, 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. Because price changes may affect
Products that you already have listed on your Site, you may not include price
information in your Product descriptions. We will use commercially reasonable
efforts to present accurate information, but we cannot guarantee the
availability or price of any particular Product.
2. All determinations of
Qualifying Links and whether a referral fee is payable will be made by
LASERRAVE and will be binding.
3. For unresolved credit
issues needing review, orders will need to be submitted to your current
LASERRAVE contact or to affiliates@laserrave.com within 90 days of the
transaction date.
0. Unless otherwise
stated in an Offer Addendum, we will pay your referral fees net 30. This means
that all payment will go out within 30 days of the end of a month provided that
you have reached a minimum affiliate earning of $50. If a customer returns a
Qualifying Product that generated a referral fee, we will deduct the
corresponding referral fee directly from your affiliate account.
0. Each party owns and
shall retain all right, title and interest in its names, logos, trademarks,
service marks, trade dress, copyrights and proprietary technology, including,
without limitation, those names, logos, trademarks, service marks, trade dress,
copyrights and proprietary technology currently used or which may be developed
and/or used by it in the future.
1. We grant you a limited,
revocable, non-exclusive, license to use the graphic image and text, which may
include our name, logos, trademarks, service marks (collectively, the
"LASERRAVE Marks"), designated in the Offer, only as provided to you
through our Web Site and solely for the purpose of creating links from your
Site to our Site pursuant to this Agreement. Except as expressly set forth in
this Agreement or permitted by applicable law, you may not copy, distribute,
modify, reverse engineer, or create derivative works from the same. You may not
sublicense, assign or transfer any such licenses for the use of the same, and
any attempt at such sublicense, assignment or transfer is void. Any prominent
use of the LASERRAVE Marks on your Site must be approved by LASERRAVE prior to
publishing. We may revoke your license at any time by giving you written
notice.
2. As a condition to your
acceptance and participation in the Program, you agree to not undertake or
engage in the following practices, and any violation of this Section shall be
deemed a material breach of this Agreement:
0. Either party may
terminate an Offer at any time by removing their affiliate links associated
with that Offer. Termination of a specific Offer shall not be deemed to
terminate any other Offers.
1. Either party may
terminate this Agreement at any time, for any reason, upon five (5) days prior
written notice of such termination to the other party.. In addition, LASERRAVE
shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement immediately if you materially
breach or violate any terms or conditions of this Agreement, or if LASERRAVE
determines, in its sole discretion, that there are technical, or operational
issues (e.g. interruptions caused by or shifts in online/Internet technology)
that adversely affect the implementation of the Program, or the
orders/referrals were obtained fraudulently, or through misrepresentation, in
which case LASERRAVE reserves the right to withhold payment of associated
referral pending an investigation of the suspected fraud or misrepresentation.
Termination of this Agreement shall also terminate any outstanding Offer.
However, all rights to payment, causes of action and any provisions that by their
terms are intended to survive termination, shall survive termination of this
Agreement.
2. Upon termination of
this Agreement for any reason, you will immediately cease use of, and remove
from your Site, all links to our Site, and all LASERRAVE 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.
3. You are only eligible
to earn referral fees on Qualifying Product Revenues occurring during the term
of this Agreement, and referral fees earned through the date of termination
will remain payable only if the related Qualifying Products are not canceled or
returned by a Customer. In addition, we may invoice you for referral fees that
were paid to you prior to termination if those referral fees relate to
Qualifying Products that are subsequently canceled or returned by a Customer.
We may withhold your final payment for a reasonable time to ensure that the
correct amount is paid.
0. You represent and
warrant that (a) you have the authority to enter into this Agreement and

party hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other party and
its affiliates, directors, officers, employees and agents, from and against any
and all liability, claims, losses, damages, injuries or expenses (including
reasonable attorneys' fees) brought by a third party, arising out of a breach,
or alleged breach, of any of its representations or obligations herein.
In
no event will either party be liable to the other party for any direct,
indirect, special, exemplary, consequential or incidental damages arising from

informed of the possibility of such damages. Further, LASERRAVE's aggregate
liability arising from this Agreement and the Program shall not exceed the
total referral fees paid or payable to you under this Agreement.
0. No Agency. Each party shall act
as an independent contractor and shall have no authority to obligate or bind
the other in any respect, and nothing in this Agreement (including any Offer)
shall create any partnership, joint ventures, agency, franchise, sales
representative or employment relationship between the parties. Neither party
shall make any statement, whether on their sites or otherwise, that reasonably
would contradict anything in the paragraph.
1. Responsibility for
Binding Agreement. You acknowledge that you have read this Agreement and agree to
all its terms and conditions. You understand that we may at any time (directly
or indirectly) solicit Customer referrals on terms that may differ from those contained
in this Agreement or operate Sites that are similar to or compete with your
Site. You have independently evaluated the desirability of participating in the
Program and are not relying on any representation, guarantee, or statement
other than as set forth in this Agreement.

BEEN MADE IN AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF

parties agree that execution and manifestation of assent may be achieved in any
format convenient to the parties.
5. Severability. The provisions of
this Agreement are independent of and separable from each other, and no
provision shall be affected or rendered invalid or unenforceable by virtue of
the fact that for any reason any other or others of them may be invalid or
unenforceable in whole or in part.
6. Assignment. You may not assign

consent, which may be withheld in our sole discretion. Subject to that
restriction, this Agreement will be binding on, inure to the benefit of, and
enforceable against the parties and their respective successors and assigns.

7. Equitable Relief. The parties agree
that any breach of either of the party's obligations regarding trademarks,
service marks or trade names, confidentiality, links or the removal of links,
and/or user data may result in irreparable injury for which there may be no
adequate remedy at law. Therefore, in the event of any breach or threatened
breach of a party's obligations regarding trademarks, service marks or trade
names, confidentiality, links or the removal of links, and/or user data, the
aggrieved party will be entitled to seek equitable relief in addition to its
other available legal remedies in a court of competent jurisdiction.
8. Obligation to Mediate
in Good Faith. Except as provided in this Section 12.7, before either party
initiates a lawsuit against the other relating to this Agreement, the parties
agree to mediate all disputes and claims arising out of or relating to this
Agreement, the parties' performance under it, or its breach. To this end,
either party may request, after informal discussions have failed to resolve a
dispute or claim, that each party designate an officer or other management employee
with authority to bind the party to meet in good faith and attempt to resolve
the dispute or claim through mediation. During their discussions, each party
will honor the other's reasonable requests for information that is not
privileged and relates to the dispute or claim. This Section does not apply (i)
should the expiration of the statute of limitations for a cause of action be
imminent, or (ii) if a party is seeking an injunction pursuant to Section 12.8.
9. Force Majeure. You acknowledge that
LASERRAVE's servers, equipment, and services (e.g. tracking and reporting) may
be subject to temporary modifications or shutdowns due to causes beyond
LASERRAVE's reasonable control. Such temporary service interruptions will not
constitute a material breach of this Agreement. LASERRAVE will use commercially
reasonable efforts to provide the services contemplated under this Agreement
and to remedy any temporary interruptions or other problems that adversely
affect the Program.
10. Attorneys' Fees. In the event any action
is commenced to construe or enforce any provision of this Agreement, the

THIS AGREEMENT. YOUR CONTINUED PARTICIPATION IN THE PROGRAM FOLLOWING OUR
POSTING OF A CHANGE NOTICE OR NEW AGREEMENT ON OUR SITE WILL CONSTITUTE BINDING
