Affiliate Terms of Service

Sales commission
We WANT to pay our affiliates a lot of money. We want them happy and making more, because the more our affiliates make, the more we make. So, we will pay a flat 25% of every sale that is a result of someone coming through a link with your affiliate ID. This is done by a cookie or someone directly recommended by you that we can track and verify. We will make every effort to make sure your ID is being tracked and your recommendations are being credited to you.

For commission purposes, a new customer shall be considered "sold" on the date that TLN secures payment for services.

In the event of a refund being given to any advertiser for any reason within 12 months of the date the refunded payment was first received by TLN, the affiliate will be liable for any commissions paid on said refund. Commissions paid on refunds will be due upon notice and either paid by the affiliate or deducted from any future commissions resulting from any and/or all sales associated with affiliate until refunded commission is repaid in full.

When Do You Get Your Money?
We believe to build a really great affiliate program; all we really have to do is get the money paid to the affiliates as fast as we can. So, we pay our affiliates on what we collect every week. That's right WEEKLY. We will pay commissions on every Friday on everything collected from the week before. We will use Paypal when possible, (unless instructed by the affiliate to make other arrangements), and USPS. You can expect your commissions to ALWAYS be paid within 14 business days from the day we secure payment from the advertisers. We do not hold back anything and we require no minimum before we will pay you. If you choose to be paid by USPS and you are owed less than $25 US, then we charge you for the mailing expense and bank fees. TLN will pay any and all fees for mailing a check for any amount $25 in a calendar week. Of course it is your preogative, but we encourage you to use PayPal.

Joining "The Board"
Team Link Network offers a unique recruiting program referred to as "The Board". Anyone with an approved web site can become an affiliate with the purchase of the affiliate license, and participation in the recruiting program, referred to as "joining a board", is completely optional. While it is true that an affiliate who participates in the recruiting program may benefit financially by recruiting new affiliates to join the board they are involved with, it in no way limits or enhances the income potential associated with the affiliate license.

Furthermore, Team Link Network makes no promise or guarantee, either stated or implied, of any assistance or guidance for any affiliate that may choose to participate on a board. The boards do what they do by the direct participation of the affiliates involved with each board on an individual basis.

Any board that is inactive for a period of 24 months will be shut down and will cease to exist for any purpose with no further participation allowed in that specific inactive board.

AFFILIATE AGREEMENT
In order to be compensated as an AFFILIATE of Team Link Network (referred to as TLN), for referring customers to our services, you agree to the terms and conditions of this agreement. TLN and AFFILIATE are entering into a simple business agreement in the best interests of both parties. AFFILIATE and TLN are independent contractors, and nothing in this Agreement will create any partnership, joint venture, agency, franchise, sales representative, or employment relationship, or the relationship of principal and agent between the parties. All copyrighted material and trademarked names and logos used in accordance with this Agreement by either or both parties remain the exclusive intellectual property TLN.

Sales and interests in this Agreement may not be transferred or sold to any other entity and all business between the parties is subject to the terms of this Agreement. Both parties will be held to confidence in any matters of business with regard to this Agreement.

AFFILIATE, once licensed, shall display at all times, an authorized sales banner or ad, promoting TLN products or services on the page submitted to TLN during the sign up process. AFFILIATE may display an approved banner or ad in as many places as they choose and the more displays, the more chance of making sales, but the approved banner must displayed on the page entered into the program at sign up. The program checks to verify the banner is displayed. Not displaying the approved banner or ad may be sufficient reason for termination, loss of license and withholding of payment for any and all sales commissions and/or any recruiting bonuses due.

AFFILIATE shall indemnify and hold TLN, it's employees, advertisers, other affiliates and shareholders harmless from any and all legal actions, damages or liabilities incurred from the day-to-day operations of AFFILIATE. Under no circumstances will TLN be liable whether in tort, contract or otherwise for indirect, incidental, consequential, special or exemplary damages (including but not limited to damages for any loss of revenue, profits, business interruption, loss of business information or data, loss of goodwill, work stoppage, hardware or software failure, or other pecuniary loss), arising from or relating to any provision of this Agreement or the program. Without limiting the foregoing, TLN aggregate liability arising with respect to this Agreement will not exceed the total fees paid or payable to AFFILIATE under this agreement. TLN will own all right, title and interest in and to all information that is created or collected in the operation of the TLN site and reserves the right to amend or terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without notice to AFFILIATE.

It is the full responsibility of AFFILIATE to market TLN ads and promotional products in a legal, ethical and honest fashion and AFFILIATE agrees that TLN will be held harmless from any and all actions of AFFILIATE and AFFILIATE marketing and promotional programs. Affiliate shall at all times comply with all local, federal and international spam, fax broadcast and telemarketing laws. Any affiliate advertisement that does not comply with applicable local, federal or international laws is strictly forbidden and shall be expressly defined as unauthorized use of TLN trademarks, marks and names.
