VividSoft
Associates Program
Agreement
This Agreement contains the complete terms and conditions
that apply to an individual's or entity's participation in
the VividSoft Associates Program (the "Program").
As used in this Agreement, "we" means VividSoft,
and "you" means the applicant. "Site"
means a World Wide Web site and, depending on the context,
refers either to the VividSoft site (including www.vividsoft.com,
www.attendview.com, www.aerobictest.com and www.csts.com/shop)
or to the site that you will link to our site.
- 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 (in our sole discretion) that your site
is unsuitable for the Program. Unsuitable sites include
but are not limited to those that:
- promote sexually explicit materials
- promote violence
- promote discrimination based on race, sex, religion,
nationality, disability, sexual orientation, or age
- promote illegal activities
- violate intellectual property rights
- Links on Your Site
You will provide a general link or links on your site
to our home page in a format to be approved by VividSoft.
We will provide you with guidelines and graphical artwork
to use in linking to our home page.
- Order Processing
We will process product orders placed by customers who
follow special links from your site to the VividSoft
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. We will track
sales made to customers who purchase products using special
links from your site to our site and will send you reports
summarizing this sales activity. The form, content, and
frequency of the reports may vary from time to time in
our discretion. To permit accurate tracking, reporting,
and fee accrual, you must ensure that the special links
between your site and our site are properly formatted.
- Referral Fees
We will pay you referral fees all product sales to third
parties. For a product sale to generate a referral fee,
the customer must follow a special link (in the format
specified by VividSoft) from
your site to the www.attendview.com
site or www.aerobictest.com site; purchase the product
using our automated ordering system; accept delivery of
the product at the shipping destination; and remit full
payment to us. The Program is intended for commercial
use, and you may not purchase products through
the Program for your own use and still receive a commission.
Products that are entitled to earn referral fees under
the rules set forth above are hereinafter referred to
as "Qualifying Products." As of this time,
all products sold directly by VividSoft are "Qualifying
Products."
- Fee Schedule
You will earn referral fees based on the sale price of
Qualifying Products (as defined above), according to fee
schedules to be established by us. "sale price"
means the sale price listed in our catalog and excludes
costs for shipping, handling, gift-wrapping, and taxes.
The current fee schedule is 10% of the sale price for
sales of all Qualifying Products. If the customer
orders multiple items after following the special link
from your site as outline in 4. above, you will be paid
a 10% fee on that entire order.
- Fee Payment
We will pay you referral fees on the 15th of each month
for fees earned on products purchased during the previous
month, less any taxes that we are required by law to withhold.
However, if the fees payable to you for any month are
less than $25.00, we will hold those fees until the total
amount due is at least $25.00 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 fee from your next quarterly payment.
If there is no subsequent payment, we will send you a
bill for the fee.
- Policies and Pricing
Customers who buy products through this Program will
be deemed to be customers of VividSoft.
Accordingly, all the VividSoft
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.
- Responsibility for Your Site
You will be solely responsible for the development, operation,
and maintenance of your site and for all materials that
appear on your site. For example, you will be solely responsible
for:
- the technical operation of your site and all related
equipment
- creating and posting product descriptions on your
site and linking those descriptions to our catalog
- the accuracy and appropriateness of materials posted
on your site (including, among other things, all product-related
materials)
- ensuring that materials posted on your site do not
violate or infringe upon the rights of any third party
(including, for example, copyrights, trademarks, privacy,
or other personal or proprietary rights)
- ensuring that materials posted on your site are not
libelous or otherwise illegal
We disclaim all liability for these matters. Further,
you will indemnify and hold us harmless from all claims,
damages, and expenses (including, without limitation,
attorneys' fees) relating to the development, operation,
maintenance, and contents of your site.
- Terms of the Agreements
The terms of this Agreement will begin upon our acceptance
of your Program application and will end when terminated
by either party. Either you or we may terminate this Agreement
at any time, with or without cause, by giving the other
party written notice of termination. You are only eligible
to earn referral fees on sales of Qualifying Products
occurring during the term, and 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.
- Modification
We may modify any of the terms and conditions contained
in this Agreement, at any time and in our sole discretion,
by posting a change notice or a new agreement on our site.
Modifications may include, for example, changes in the
scope of available referral fees, fee schedules, payment
procedures, and Program rules. IF ANY MODIFICATION IS
UNACCEPTABLE TO YOU, YOUR ONLY RECOURSE IS TO TERMINATE
THIS AGREEMENT. YOUR CONTINUED PARTICIPATION IN THE PROGRAM
FOLLOWING OUR POSTING OF A CHANGE NOTICE OR NEW AGREEMENT
ON OUR SITE WILL CONSTITUTE BINDING ACCEPTANCE OF THE
CHANGE.
- Relationship of Parties
You and we are independent contractors, and nothing in
this Agreement will create any partnership, joint venture,
agency, franchise, sales representative, or employment
relationship between the parties. You will have no authority
to make or accept any offers or representations on our
behalf. You will not make any statement, whether on your
site or otherwise, that reasonably would contradict anything
in this Section.
- Limitation of Liability
We will not be liable for indirect, special, or consequential
damages (or any loss of revenue, profits, or data) arising
in connection with this Agreement or the Program, even
if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
Further, our aggregate liability arising with respect
to this Agreement and the Program will not exceed the
total referral fees paid or payable to you under this
Agreement.
- Disclaimers
We make no express or implied warranties or representations
with respect to the Program or any products sold through
the Program (including, without limitation, warranties
of fitness, merchantability, noninfringement, or any implied
warranties arising out of a course of performance, dealing,
or trade usage). In addition, we make no representation
that the operation of our site will be uninterrupted or
error-free, and we will not be liable for the consequences
of any interruptions or errors.
- Independent Investigation
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 WEB SITES THAT
ARE SIMILAR TO OR COMPETE WITH YOUR WEB 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.
- Miscellaneous
This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the United
States and the state of Nebraska, without reference to
rules governing choice of laws. Any action relating to
this Agreement must be brought in the federal or state
courts located in Grand Island, Nebraska, and you irrevocably
consent to the jurisdiction of such courts. You may not
assign this Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise,
without our prior written consent. 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. Our failure to enforce your strict
performance of any provision of this Agreement will not
constitute a waiver of our right to subsequently enforce
such provision or any other provision of this Agreement.
