Affiliate Terms of Service
Affiliate 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 For Sales As An Affiliate?
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 new sales we collect every week. That's right
WEEKLY. We will pay commissions every Friday on all new sales 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. However, 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 over $25 in a calendar week.
Of course it is your prerogative, but we encourage you to use PayPal.
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 of TLN. No transference of intellectual property ownership or
conveyance of rights is intended or conferred in this Agreement. 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 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 at least be 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 and/or loss of license.
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. Should action be
brought against TLN for such activity by Affiliate, Affiliate agrees to
bear all costs and penalties associated with such activity including,
but not limited to TLN's legal costs for any alleged infraction of these
laws. TLN reserves the right to amend all pricing plans, commissions or
conditions relative to this agreement at anytime as deemed necessary and
proper by the Board of Directors of TLN. TLN reserves the right to
terminate any affiliate with or without cause at the sole discretion of
TLN with or without notice. By joining the TLN affiliate program,
affiliate is tendering his/her personal guarantee of these terms and
conditions.

local, federal and international laws (including, but not limited to,
the "CAN-SPAM" Act, effective January 1, 2004) regarding the sending of
unsolicited e-mails.
Affiliate shall not issue nor cause to be issued any news/media/press
release that uses the TLN trademarks(s) without prior written consent
from Team Link Network.

Ad Publisher Terms of Service
When Do You Get Your Money As An AD Publisher?
When you join TLN as an Affiliate and place the tracking code onto your
site, the information you provided in the submission form is entered
into our database and TLN staff is alerted to review your site. Upon
approval, you are automatically entered into the system and our code
will then gather specifics about your site such as keywords, types of
services you offer such as blogs or a directory and traffic levels. Upon
approval you will be sent this code in an email so that you can install
it on more pages within your site. The more pages you place the code on,
the more pages we can offer to advertisers. This enables us to offer ads
to advertisers that may match the content on your pages and then notify
you that there is a paid ad available to you. This is how you earn
residual income from your site.
We believe to build a really great program; all we really have to do is
get the money paid to the ad publishers on time, every time. So, we pay
our ad publishers on what we collect on the 15th of every month for
everything we've collected up to the 1st of that month. We do not hold
back anything and we require no minimum before we will pay you. We will
use PayPal when possible (unless instructed by the affiliate to make
other arrangements) and checks by USPS. 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 or you can choose to wait until your
payment equals more than $25. Anything over $25 in a calendar month and
we will pay the fees to mail you a check. Of course it is your
prerogative, but we encourage you to use PayPal.
AD PUBLISHER AGREEMENT
In order to be compensated as an AD PUBLISHER of Team Link Network
(referred to as TLN), you agree to the terms and conditions of this
agreement. TLN and AD PUBLISHER are entering into a simple business
agreement in the best interests of both parties. AD PUBLISHER 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 of TLN. No transference of
intellectual property ownership or conveyance of rights is intended or
conferred in this Agreement. 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.
AD PUBLISHER shall indemnify and hold TLN, its employees, advertisers,
other AD PUBLISHERS and shareholders harmless from any and all legal
actions, damages or liabilities incurred from the day-to-day operations
of AD PUBLISHER. 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 AD PUBLISHER
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 AD PUBLISHER.
It is the full responsibility of AD PUBLISHER to market TLN ads and
promotional products in a legal, ethical and honest fashion and AD
PUBLISHER agrees that TLN will be held harmless from any and all actions
of AD PUBLISHER and AD PUBLISHER marketing and promotional programs. AD
PUBLISHER shall at all times comply with all local and Federal spam, fax
broadcast and telemarketing laws. Any AD PUBLISHER advertisement that
does not comply with applicable local, state or federal laws is strictly
forbidden and shall be expressly defined as unauthorized use of TLN
trademarks, marks and names. Should action be brought against TLN for
such activity by AD PUBLISHER, AD PUBLISHER agrees to bear all costs and
penalties associated with such activity including, but not limited to
TLN's legal costs for any alleged infraction of these laws. TLN reserves
the right to amend all pricing plans, commissions or conditions relative
to this agreement at anytime as deemed necessary and proper by the Board
of Directors of TLN. TLN reserves the right to terminate any AD
PUBLISHER with or without cause at the sole discretion of TLN with or
without notice. By joining the TLN AD PUBLISHER program, AD PUBLISHER is
tendering his/her personal guarantee of these terms and conditions.
TLN reserves the right to cancel any ad at any time. There are cases
when an ADVERTISER may attempt to take advantage of our system beyond
the terms of service. In that event it might be necessary for TLN to
terminate an ad after it has been accepted and placed. If this occurs,
the AD PUBLISHER shall be paid a pro-rated amount for the number of
days, which the ad was displayed from the day it was accepted until the
day the notification of cancellation was issued.
It is the PUBLISHERS responsibility to remove ads when notified that an
ad is either canceled or not renewed. We have provided tools and avenues
for the PUBLISHERS to be informed of ads available and ads canceled, but
we cannot be liable for any PUBLISHER not taking the responsibility upon
themselves to stay informed and run their own website. This is another
reason why it is so important to use the TLN alert tool.
AD PUBLISHER agrees and warrants that TLN will not be held liable for
any damages to their site. AD PUBLISHER assumes full responsibility of
any ad that is placed on their site. While TLN does set a standard for
acceptance for ADVERTISERS, there is no way to monitor and exert control
over what possible changes may occur on the advertising site.
AD PUBLISHER further agrees and warrants that it will comply with all
local, state and federal laws (including, but not limited to, the
"CAN-SPAM" Act, effective January 1, 2004) regarding the sending of
unsolicited e-mails.
AD PUBLISHER shall not issue nor cause to be issued any news/media/press
release that uses the TLN trademarks(s) without prior written consent
from Team Link Network. AD PUBLISHER agrees to display accepted ads in
good faith. Any attempt to subvert the TLN system or to mislead any
advertiser or the TLN staff in any way may result in immediate
termination and loss of any and/or all unpaid commissions.
For commission purposes, a new customer shall be considered "sold" on
the date that TLN secures payment for services.
AD PUBLISHER shall make no alterations to TLN software or metrics
gathering systems without the express written permission of TLN
The laws of the State of Oklahoma shall govern this Agreement. Should
there be any legal dispute between the parties, then both parties agree
to take the matter before arbitration/mediation in Oklahoma County, OK
should TLN request arbitration/mediation in lieu of formal legal
process. Both parties mutually agree that the sole legal venue for all
disputes shall be in the Oklahoma County General District Court, OK.
