PARTNER TERMS & CONDITIONS and SERVICE AGREEMENT
The
PECASH Affiliate Program offers an opportunity for operators of
adult-oriented Internet web sites ("Hosts" or "Affiliates") to
direct traffic to PECASH Affiliate Sites and earn a commission
each time one of those visitors purchases a product.
The
terms and conditions of this Agreement are as follows:
1.
How the Program Operates:
1.1
Visitors to your Site shall be directed to PECASH Affiliate
Program Sites via an Internet hypertext transfer link. PECASH
shall designate and design the appearance and syntax of the
hypertext transfer links which will appear at your Site -- although
you may choose to display banners, text links, exit consoles,
or full page promotional ads at your Site.
1.2
Upon sign-up you will be provided with instructions as to how
to generate & install the HTML code which will display PECASH
Affiliate Program Sites text links, banners, exit consoles and/or
full page ads on your web Site. You must install the HTML code
as instructed in order to receive proper credit. The following
actions shall be cause for denial of payment and immediate termination
and may result in legal action at PECASH's discretion: spamming,
illegal content, and any falsification of transactions. The
above list is not meant to be exhaustive of prohibited conduct.
1.3
Upon sign-up you will be asked to enter a password. Please remember
it, as you will need it in order to make changes to your account.
After you submit your sign-up form, you will receive an e-mail
confirmation and your unique PECASH Affiliate Program Affiliate
ID number. This number, when installed in hypertext transfer
links, will ensure proper credit for referred purchases. Please
also use this ID number whenever contacting PECASH
Webmaster-Affiliate
Support.
Currently,
the PECASH Affiliate Program does not accept webmasters from
the following countries: Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus,
Brazil, Bulgaria, China, Costa Rica, Croatia, Czech Republic,
Estonia, Georgia, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Israel, Japan,
Jordan, Kaliningrad, Kazakhstan, Korea (North and South), Kyrgyzstan,
Latvia, Lithuania, Malaysia, Moldova, Pakistan, Philippines,
Romania, Russia, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, Taiwan, Tajikistan,
Thailand, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates,
Uzbekistan, and Yugoslavia. New accounts from these countries
will not be paid.
1.4
Your commission shall be earned on each referred transaction,
which occurs when a user, directed from your site, purchases
a product from a PECASH Affiliate Site.
2.
Site Owner/Operator Obligations:
2.1
You are required to provide a Federal Tax ID or Social Security
Number before commission payments can be made to you. PECASH's
Affiliate Program will register a 1099 for all U.S. domestic
entities or a 1042-s for all foreign entities to whom we issue
combined yearly payments of $600.00 or more. Any falsification
of Social Security or Tax ID numbers shall be cause for denial
of payment and immediate account termination. It is the responsibility
of the Affiliate to keep all account information with PECASH's
Affiliate Program up-to-date and accurate. It is also the responsibility
of the Host to periodically check their e-mail to stay informed
of changes to PEcash programs. The Affiliate is solely responsible
for providing accurate address/delivery information to ensure
proper delivery of payment. Since payments are computer-generated,
inaccurate/improper address information will delay payment.
2.2
The Affiliate is also responsible to take all reasonable steps
necessary to comply with all applicable state, federal and local
laws, if any, regarding access to adult-themed and/or sexually
explicit materials by minors or residents of areas where such
materials are likely to be deemed in violation of community
standards or to form the basis of obscenity prosecutions (herein,
"Policing Prohibited Access").
