Q & A About Our Affiliate Program

What does it mean to become a Fight Like A Girl! "Affiliate"?
Becoming an Affiliate means taking a leading role in the fight against breast cancer. It means helping to promote the cause by helping to promote this organization and its mission. It means helping to spread the word, to show others the way to wear the colors of courage. It means fighting, and yet it's incredibly easy to do.

How does it work?
Authorized affiliates receive clickable hyper-linked banners and tags to place on their websites, in their outgoing emails, and on their social networking pages, so that others can find www.FightLikeAGirlOnline.com. When people click those links, they’re taken directly to our website, where they too can join the fight.

Affiliates benefit by helping to promote awareness and connection among women and those who love them – those who would help us to fight, cure, and even eventually prevent breast cancer. And by assisting in this unique community-building effort, affiliates are able to raise money for their own organizations by earning commissions on product sales that occur when visitors find www.FightLikeAGirlOnline.com through the unique banners assigned to each affiliate.

Your affiliate banners will be assigned to you and only to you, so that you get credit (via direct deposits into your PayPal account) with a commission each time someone purchases a Fight Like A Girl, LLC product at our site. And, you can share your affiliate banners with others in your organization, your friends, your family – anyone who wants to help you spread the word and grow the community. Each time someone clicks through to www.FightLikeAGirlOnline.com via your link – wherever they are – your organization gets the commission credit after a 30-day waiting period (to allow for the occasional product return and/or refund).

Does my organization get to keep the commission money generated from sales that occur through my unique links?
The money is yours, excepting applicable taxes, of course. We don’t take out taxes, though we do require that you complete a W-9 tax form. You and your organization decide how to use that money. We encourage you to donate at least 20% of your earnings directly to a breast cancer support organization or resource of your choosing, and to post notice of this (with pictures, we hope) on our Forum.

Why must I complete a W-9 tax form?
Filling out a W-9 allows provides us your name and Social Security Number, or the name and Employer Identification Number of your business. In submitting a W-9, you are certifying that the tax ID number you are providing is correct and accurate. You also need to certify whether or not you are subject to backup withholding. Most taxpayers are exempt from backup withholding. The IRS might require backup withholding, however, if your name and tax identification number that you provide on the W-9 don't match with the IRS records. YOU WILL NOT BE APPROVED AS AN AFFILIATE UNTIL AND UNLESS WE RECEIVE A CORRECTLY-COMPLETED W-9 FORM INCLUDING YOUR BUSINESS EIN OR YOUR PERSONAL SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER.

Where do I get a W-9 form?
A: You can download a copy of the form at http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw9.pdf?portlet=3. DO NOT SUBMIT IT TO THE IRS. You must mail it to us instead, at:
Fight Like A Girl, LLC
295 Seven Farms Drive
Suite C, Box 138
Charleston, SC 29492

What is the commission rate?
As of 06/19/2009, our starting commission rate is 15% per sale. This increases to 20% after your first 100 sales, and then to 25% after your 500^th sale! These rates are subject to change. When and if we change the commission rates, we will post the changes and any other changes to the Terms of Agreement in the Affiliate Agreement itself, which is also posted as part of the sign-up process.

So, if I become an Affiliate, how do I know that I’ve received any commissions? And, how long does it take for me to receive the money?
You can apply to become an Affiliate by clicking the link “Getting Started” on this page. You’ll be taken to a secure web page where you can fill out the application and review the Terms. If you’re approved, you’ll be able to log in to check your account at that same page. And, once deposits have been made to your PayPal account, you’ll be able to see them there as well.

Remember, your organization gets its commission credits after a 30-day waiting period (to allow for the occasional product return and/or refund).

What is Affiliate Marketing?
Affiliate Marketing is an internet-based marketing practice in which an organization rewards one or more affiliates for each customer brought about by the affiliate's marketing efforts.

We'll Even Give You the Tools.
We have assembled a small collection of effective marketing tools that you can use to bring your contacts to the Fight Like A Girl website. Once they visit, we'll capture who was responsible for bringing them to us and if that person ever buys a Fight Like A Girl t-shirt, you'll receive a commission, even if they wait months before buying a product.

You agree to follow our Trademark Guidelines, as those guidelines may change from time to time. We may revoke your license at any time by giving you written notice, including by email.

You must ensure that each of the links between your site and the FLAG Site properly utilizes such special link formats.

(c) All Qualifying Links that you will use in the Affiliate Program will be provided to you by means selected by us, and only valid Qualifying Links generated by us or our agents will be tracked for purposes of determining Revenue Share that you may be eligible to receive on sales of products generated through your site. You will earn Revenue Share fees only with respect to activity on the FLAG Site occurring directly through Qualifying Links; we will not be liable to you with respect to any failure by you to use Qualifying Links, including to the extent that such failure may result in any reduction of amounts that would otherwise be paid to you pursuant to this Agreement.
(d) Except for the license to use the Merchant Content granted under this Section 2, we are not granting you any rights in, and you represent, warrant, covenant and agree that you will not use, in any manner, any intellectual property, including, without limitation, any intellectual property with respect to Qualifying Links, link formats, technical specifications, guidelines, graphical artwork, trademarks, service marks, trade names, logos, banners, buttons, digital images, text, or other content or materials owned or controlled by us, or with respect to the FightLikeAGirlOnline.com domain name.
(e) Upon termination of this Agreement, for any reason, you shall immediately cease using, displaying or otherwise maintaining any interest in the Merchant Content.

(g) You also acknowledge that we have the right in our sole and absolute discretion to monitor your websites at any time and from time to time to determine if you are in compliance with the terms of this Agreement, and you agree to provide us with unrestricted access to your websites for such purpose.

Therefore, you agree that we (and our agents) may take such actions and that you will not seek to block or otherwise interfere with such crawling or monitoring (and that we and our agents may use technical means to overcome any methods used on your site to block or interfere with such crawling or monitoring). 
(h) You also acknowledge that as a participant in the Affiliate Program, we may from time to time send you email updates about the Affiliate Program. By participating in the Affiliate Program, you consent to our sending you these email updates.

(j) You may not (i) engineer you websites in a manner designed to direct or pull Internet traffic away from the FLAG Site, (ii) attempt to modify or alter the FLAG Site in any way; (iii) make any representations, either express or implied, or create an appearance that a visitor to your website is visiting our website, e.g., "framing" the FLAG Site, without our prior written approval; or (iv) "scrape" or "spider" the FLAG Site or any other website for Merchant Content. 
(k) You may not purchase products during sessions initiated through Qualified Links on your sites for your own use, for resale or commercial use of any kind.

We will process Product orders placed by customers who follow Qualifying Links from your site to the FLAG 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 by using Qualifying Links from your site to the FLAG 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 in our discretion. You hereby agree not to disclose the information contained in such reports regarding us to any third party without our prior written consent and your further hereby agree that such information is our property and our Confidential Information. To permit accurate tracking, reporting and fee accrual, you must ensure that the links between your website and our website are properly formatted. We are not responsible for improperly formatted links regardless of whether you have made amendments to the code or not. In addition, we are unable to track or provide you credit for sales from customers that are referred to us with browsers that do not have their cookies setting enabled. You represent, warrant, covenant, and agree that you will not bypass, modify, circumvent, impair, disable or otherwise interfere with any links, web beacons, cookies or other technology provided by us. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means all non-public information provided or obtained by you about us, including, without limitation, all customer information, and all business and sales information related to transactions through this Affiliate Program.

5. Revenue Share Payments
(a) During the term of this Agreement, we agree to pay you a revenue share (the "Revenue Share") equal to the applicable percentage of Sales Revenue determined pursuant to the Affiliate Program Revenue Schedule, as amended from time to time (the “Schedule”) which is set forth on our Site’s Affiliate page, or as otherwise provided by us. We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to change, modify, add or remove portions of this Revenue Share Schedule at any time without notice. For purposes of this Agreement, "Sales Revenue" means all cash consideration (not including any portion of payment made through the redemption of coupons or credits) derived by us from merchandise sold to a customer in a transaction during sessions initiated through and resulting directly from a Qualifying Link tracked us from your website to the FLAG Site in accordance with this Agreement, excluding rebates, returns, chargebacks, and bad debt. You acknowledge and agree that we will not be obligated to pay any Revenue Share unless we actually ship the applicable order and receive full payment for such order. Additionally, unless we otherwise expressly agree in writing specifically with you, we will not be obligated to pay any Revenue Share on any purchase from a customer linking to the FLAG Site from your sites, unless such purchase is made during the same on-line session or within one-hundred twenty (120) days after the customer has initially entered our website ("Revenue Share Time") and the customer reenters our Site directly using the same computer as was used on the initial visit (and not through another affiliate link). After the Revenue Share Time, we will not pay a Revenue Share on any products that are added to a customer's shopping cart after the customer has re-entered our website (other than through a Qualifying Link from your website), even if the customer previously followed a link from your website to our website. All determinations of Qualifying Links and whether a Revenue Share is payable will by made by us and will be final and binding on you.

6. Revenue Share Accounting
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and our acceptance of you as an Affiliate, we will pay you the above-described Revenue Share on a monthly basis for orders shipped in the applicable month. Approximately 30 days following the end of each calendar month, we will send, or cause to be sent, the Revenue Share you earned directly to your PayPal account, less any taxes or other amounts that we may be required by law to withhold. No interest will be paid on any such amount held by us. If a Revenue Share payment is made hereunder and relates to merchandise that is later returned by the customer, the applicable Revenue Share will be deducted from the next applicable payment hereunder. If any portion of such Revenue Share cannot be recovered through a deduction, we will invoice you for such amount and you agree to pay this amount within 30 days after receipt of such invoice. Upon termination of this Agreement, we will send, or cause to be sent, to your PayPal account, payment in the total amount of Revenue Share then owed to you as of the termination date. The final Revenue Share payment may be withheld by us for a reasonable period of time to ensure that the correct amount is to be paid after making any adjustments that may be required, including, but not limited to, adjustments for returns.

If you have not earned any Revenue Share in the six months prior to any given calendar month, then we reserve the right to charge you on the first day of such calendar month an account maintenance fee in an amount up to $5 per month for so long as your account remains open yet dormant, or until your account balance reaches a zero balance, at which time the account shall become deactivated. The account maintenance fee charged will be deducted from your unpaid accrued Revenue Share, and will be equal to the lesser of $5 or the amount of unpaid accrued Revenue Share in your account.

We are obligated by U.S. federal law to obtain tax information from Affiliate Program participants who are U.S. citizens, U.S. residents or U.S. corporations and from Affiliate Program participants who are not U.S. citizens or residents but whose businesses are taxable in the U.S. You are required as a part of the Affiliate application process to provide the necessary tax information, and your failure to do so may result in rejection of your application. If we believe you are a Affiliate Program participant from whom we are obligated to obtain tax information and you do not provide this information to us after we have requested it, we may withhold your Revenue Share payments until you provide this information or otherwise satisfy us that you are not a person from whom we are required to obtain tax information, and we may further, in our sole discretion, terminate your account.

7. Policies and Pricing 
(a) You acknowledge and agree that we will accept or reject, in our sole and absolute discretion, all orders by customers for merchandise placed on or through the FLAG Site. You further acknowledge and agree that (i) you do not have any authority to make or accept any offer or commitment on behalf of us, (ii) we cannot, and do not, guarantee the availability of any merchandise or other services offered for sale on the FLAG Site, and (iii) we are solely responsible for all pricing, merchandising, order processing, order fulfillment, shipping, returns and all other aspects of the FLAG Site and the sale of merchandise thereunder.

As between the parties, all information obtained through the use of the FLAG Site shall be our exclusive property. 
(b) We may change our policies and operating procedures at any time in our sole discretion. For example, we will determine the prices to be charged for products sold under the Affiliate Program in accordance with our own pricing policies.

As a condition to your participation in the Affiliate Program, you agree that while you are an Affiliate Program participant you will comply with all laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, orders, licenses, permits, judgments, decisions or other requirements of any governmental authority (“Applicable Laws”) that has jurisdiction over you, whether such Applicable Laws are now in effect or later come into effect during the time you are a Affiliate Program participant. Without limiting the foregoing obligation, you agree that as a condition of your participation in the Affiliate Program you will comply with all applicable laws (federal, state or otherwise) that govern marketing email, including without limitation, the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 and all other anti-spam laws.

10. Term of the Agreement 
The term of this Agreement will begin upon our acceptance of your Affiliate 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 (including via e-mail) notice of termination. Upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason, you will immediately cease use of, and remove from your site, all links to the FLAG Site, and all of our trademarks, trade dress, and logos, and all other Merchant Content provided by or on behalf of us to you pursuant hereto or in connection with the Affiliate Program. You are eligible to earn a Revenue Share only on sales of our products that occur during the term, and any Revenue Share 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. In addition, we may invoice you for Revenue Share that was paid to you prior to termination if those fees relate to products that are subsequently canceled or returned. In the event an overpayment is made by us, you agree to promptly remit such overpayment to us upon written notification (including via e-mail) by us.

11. 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 the FLAG Site. Modifications may include, for example, changes in the scope of available Revenue Share, Schedule, payment procedures, and Affiliate Program rules. IF ANY MODIFICATION IS UNACCEPTABLE TO YOU, YOUR ONLY RECOURSE IS TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT. YOUR CONTINUED PARTICIPATION IN THE AFFILIATE PROGRAM FOLLOWING OUR POSTING OF A CHANGE NOTICE OR NEW AGREEMENT ON THE FLAG SITE WILL CONSTITUTE BINDING ACCEPTANCE OF THE CHANGE.

12. 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.

13. Limitation of Liability 
WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, NEGLIGENCE), PRODUCT LIABILITY OR OTHER THEORY) FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR ANY LOSS OF REVENUE, DATA OR PROFITS ARISING UNDER OR WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE AFFILIATE PROGRAM, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. FURTHER, OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING UNDER OR WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE AFFILIATE PROGRAM WILL IN NO EVENT EXCEED THE TOTAL REVENUE SHARE PAID OR PAYABLE BY US TO YOU UNDER THIS AGREEMENT DURING THE PRECEDING TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD PRIOR TO THE DATE SUCH LIABILITY AROSE. ALL CLAIMS MADE HEREUNDER BY YOU AGAINST US SHALL BE MADE WITHIN 360 DAYS OF THE ACT OR OMISSION THAT FORMS THE BASIS OF SUCH CLAIMS.

14. Disclaimers 
WE MAKE NO WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS, OR GUARANTEES, WITH RESPECT TO THE AFFILIATE PROGRAM OR ANY PRODUCTS OR SERVICES SOLD THROUGH THE FLAG SITE, OR THE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE FLAG SITE, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ARISING BY LAW OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, OR ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY ARISING OUT OF A COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, COURSE OF DEALING, OR USAGE OF TRADE. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATION THAT THE OPERATION OF THE FLAG SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, AND WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR THE CONSEQUENCES OF ANY INTERRUPTIONS OR ERRORS.

15. 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 AFFILIATE PROGRAM AND ARE NOT RELYING ON ANY REPRESENTATION, GUARANTEE, OR STATEMENT OTHER THAN AS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT.

16. Arbitration 
Any transaction undertaken pursuant to this Agreement is hereby deemed by you and us to involve interstate commerce. Any dispute relating in any way to this Agreement (including any actual or alleged breach hereof), any transactions or activities under this Agreement or your relationship with us shall be submitted to confidential arbitration in Charleston, South Carolina, except that, to the extent you have in any manner violated or threatened to violate our intellectual property rights, we may seek injunctive or other appropriate relief in any state or federal court in the state of South Carolina, USA (and you consent to non-exclusive jurisdiction and venue in such courts) or any other court of competent jurisdiction. Arbitration under this agreement shall be conducted under the rules then prevailing of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator's award shall be binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no arbitration under this Agreement shall be joined to an arbitration involving any other party subject to this Agreement, whether through class arbitration proceedings or otherwise.

17. Governing Law
This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws of the United States and the State of South Carolina, without reference to its conflicts of laws principles.

18. Miscellaneous
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 be 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. The descriptive headings contained in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
