3. Elitone.com Rights and Obligations

3.1. We have the right to monitor your site at any time to determine if you are following the terms and conditions of this Agreement. We may notify you of any changes to your site that we feel should be made, or to make sure that your links to our website are appropriate and to notify further you of any changes that we feel should be made. If you do not make the changes to your site that we feel are necessary, we reserve the right to terminate your participation in the Elitone.com Affiliate Program.

3.2. Elitone.com reserves the right to terminate this Agreement and your participation in the Elitone.com Affiliate Program immediately and without notice to you should you commit fraud in your use of the Elitone.com Affiliate Program or should you abuse this program in any way. If such fraud or abuse is detected, Elitone.com shall not be liable to you for any commissions for such fraudulent sales.

3.3. This Agreement will begin upon our acceptance of your Affiliate application and will continue unless terminated hereunder.

4. Termination

Either you or we may end this Agreement AT ANY TIME, with or without cause, by giving the other party written notice. Written notice can be in the form of mail, email, or fax. In addition, this Agreement will terminate immediately upon any breach of this Agreement by you.

Affiliates must submit the email for their PayPal account to receive payment. The payout minimum is $50.

7. Access to Affiliate Portal

You may enter the secure Affiliate Portal to receive your reports that will describe our calculation of the commissions due to you.

8. Promotion Restrictions

8.1. You are free to promote your websites, but naturally any promotion that mentions Elitone.com could be perceived by the public or the press as a joint effort. You should know that certain forms of advertising are always prohibited by Elitone.com. For example, advertising commonly referred to as “spamming” is unacceptable to us and could cause damage to our name. Other generally prohibited forms of advertising include the use of unsolicited commercial email (UCE), postings to non-commercial newsgroups, and cross-posting to multiple newsgroups at once. In addition, you may not advertise in any way that effectively conceals or misrepresents your identity, your domain name, or your return email address. You may use mailings to customers to promote Elitone.com so long as the recipient is already a customer or subscriber of your services or website, and recipients have the option to remove themselves from future mailings. Also, you may post to newsgroups to promote Elitone.com so long as the news group specifically welcomes commercial messages. At all times, you must represent yourself and your websites as independent from Elitone.com. If it comes to our attention that you are spamming or pursuing other generally prohibited forms of advertising, including primarily coupon websites (especially with fake coupons), we will consider that cause for immediate termination of this Agreement and your participation in the Elitone.com Affiliate Program. Any pending balances owed to you will not be paid if your account is terminated due to such unacceptable advertising or solicitation.

ADDITIONALLY, BECAUSE ELITONE IS A MEDICAL DEVICE, IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT LANGUAGE USED IN PROMOTIONAL ACTIVITIES IS COMPLIANT WITH APPLICABLE REGULATION, AS SEEN IN THE AFFILIATE GUIDANCE DOCUMENT.

8.2. Affiliate shall not bid on any keyword or on any Pay per Click campaign where such keyword is one of our Trademarks or any variation or misspelling of one of our Trademarks (Elitone, regain control regain confidence, life leak free, boss of your bladder, bettersleep). Further, you may not bid on any word or term that is confusingly similar to any of our Trademarks standing alone.

8.3. Affiliate shall not transmit any so-called “interstitials,” “Parasite ware™,” “Parasitic Marketing,” “Shopping Assistance Application,” “Toolbar Installations and/or Add-ons,” “Shopping Wallets” or “deceptive pop-ups and/or pop-unders” to consumers from the time the consumer clicks on a qualifying link until the consumer has fully exited Elitone.com’s site (i.e., no page from our site or any Elitone.com’s content or branding is visible on the end-user’s screen). As used herein a. “Parasite ware™” and “Parasitic Marketing” shall mean an application that (a) through accidental or direct intent causes the overwriting of affiliate and non-affiliate commission tracking cookies through any other means than a customer initiated click on a qualifying link on a web page or email; (b) intercepts searches to redirect traffic through an installed software, thereby causing, pop ups, commission tracking cookies to be put in place or other commission tracking cookies to be overwritten where a user would under normal circumstances have arrived at the same destination through the results given by the search (search engines being, but not limited to, Google, MSN, Yahoo, Overture, AltaVista, Hotbot and similar search or directory engines); (c) set commission tracking cookies through loading of Elitone.com site in IFrames, hidden links and automatic pop ups that open Elitone.com’s site; (d) targets text on web sites, other than those web sites 100% owned by the application owner, for the purpose of contextual marketing; (e) removes, replaces or blocks the visibility of Affiliate banners with any other banners, other than those that are on web sites 100% owned by the owner of the application.
