Agreement
PRESCRIPNET.COM AFFILIATE OPERATING AGREEMENT
This Agreement contains the complete terms and conditions that apply
to an individual's or entity's participation in the Prescripnet.com
Affiliates Program (the "Program"). As used in this Agreement, "we"
means Prescripnet.com,
and "you" means the applicant. "Site" means a World Wide Web site
and, depending on the context, refers either to Prescripnet.com's
site located at the URL www.Prescripnet.com,
or to the site that will link to our site (and which you will identify
in your Program application).
1) Enrollment in the Program
To begin the enrollment process,
you will submit a complete Program application
via our site. We will evaluate your application
in good faith and will notify you of your acceptance
or rejection. We may reject your application
if we determine (at 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
- Include "Prescripnet" or variations or
misspellings thereof in their domain names
- Otherwise violate intellectual property
rights
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 (at our sole discretion) to be unsuitable
for the Program, we may terminate this Agreement.
2) Links on Your Site
and/or Creating Your Personal Prescripnet.com
Site
Once you have been notified
that your site has been accepted into the Program,
you may provide on your existing site the following
type of link/banner to our site:
- General link to Prescripnet.com home
page: You may provide a general link on your
site to our home page at http://www.Prescripnet.com.
We will provide you with a private url and
graphical artwork to use in linking to our
home page. Your private url is conneted to
your unique affiliate ID and will allow you
to monitor traffic from your site to ours.
To permit accurate tracking,
reporting, and referral fee accrual, we will
provide you with special "tagged" link formats
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 utilizes
such special link formats. Links to our site
placed on your site pursuant to this Agreement
and which properly utilize such special link
formats are referred to as "Special Links."
You will only earn referral fees with respect
to activity on our site occurring directly through
Special Links: 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 which
would otherwise be paid to you pursuant to this
Agreement.
3) 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 handle customer service.
We will track sales made to customers who purchase
products using special links from your site
to our 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 at our discretion.
4) Referral Fees
We will pay you (in accordance
with Sections 5 and 6 below) referral fees on
certain Product sales to third parties. 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. We
will not, however, pay referral fees on any
Products after the customer has re-entered our
site (other than through a Special Link), even
if the customer previously followed a link from
your site to our site, or for Products that
are purchased through any device (an "Internet
Access Appliance") that provides Internet access
but does not present our site, or permit users
to access and interact with our site, in the
same manner as a desktop computer (e.g., mobile
devices such as cellular telephones or PDAs
that may access only limited or modified versions
of our site).
Gift certificates 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 Affiliates
in any manner. Such purchases may result (in
our sole discretion) in the withholding of referral
fees or the termination of this Agreement. Products
that are eligible to earn referral fees under
the rules set forth above are referred to as
"Qualifying Products."
In addition, you may not:
(a) directly or indirectly offer any person
or entity any consideration or incentive (including,
without limitation, payment of money (including
any rebate), or granting of any discount or
other benefit) for using Special Links on your
site to access our site (e.g., by implementing
any "rewards" program for persons or entities
who use Special Links on your site to access
our site); or (b) post any Special Links on
any Web site or other platform that is accessible
through any Internet Access Appliance. If we
determine, in our sole discretion, that you
have offered any person or entity any such consideration
or incentive, or posted Special Links on any
such Web site or platform, we may (without limiting
any other rights or remedies available to us)
withhold any referral fees otherwise payable
to you under this Agreement and/or terminate
this Agreement.
5) Referral Fee Schedule
You will earn referral fees
based on qualifying revenues according to referral
fee schedules to be established by us. "Qualifying
revenues" are revenues derived by us from our
sales of qualifying products, excluding costs
for shipping, handling, provisioning, taxes,
service charges, credit card processing fees,
and bad debt. For full commission schedule please
email affiliateprogram@prescripnet.com
for details.
6) Referral Fee Payment
We will pay you referral
fees on a quarterly basis. Approximately 30
days following the end of each calendar quarter,
we will send you a check for the referral
fees earned on our sales of Qualifying Products
that were delivered during that quarter, less
any taxes that we are required by law to withhold.
However, if the referral fees payable to you
for any calendar quarter are less than $100.00,
we will hold those referral fees until the
total amount due is at least $100.00 or (if
earlier) 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
quarterly payment. If there is no subsequent
payment, we will send you a bill for the referral
fee.
7) Policies and Pricing
Customers who buy products
through this Program will be deemed to be
customers of Prescripnet.com.
Accordingly, all Prescripnet.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. 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.
8) Identifying Yourself

you a small graphic image that identifies
your site as a Program participant. You must
display this logo or the phrase "In association

discretion. Please review our Rules Regarding

addition, you may not in any manner misrepresent
