Affiliate Program Terms & Conditions

I accept these terms and wish to register.

1. Term of the Agreements: The term of this Agreement will begin upon our acceptance of your Affiliate application and will end when terminated by either party. Either you or the Company may terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause, by giving the other party written notice of termination. You are only eligible to earn referral fees on sales occurring during the term of this agreement.
2. 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 this site. Modifications may include, for example, changes in the scope of available referral fees, fee schedules, payment procedures and Program rules. IF ANY MODIFICATION IS UNACCEPTABLE TO YOU, YOUR ONLY RECOURSE IS TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT. YOUR CONTINUING PARTICIPATION IN THE PROGRAM FOLLOWING OUR POSTING OF A CHANGE NOTICE OR NEW AGREEMENT ON OUR SITE WILL CONSTITUTE BINDING ACCEPTANCE OF THE CHANGE.
3. Limitation of Liability: We will not be liable for indirect, special or consequential damages, or any loss of revenue, profits or data, arising in connection with this Agreement or the Program, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Further, our aggregate liability arising with respect to this Agreement and the Program will not exceed the total referral fees paid or payable to you under to this Agreement.
4. 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 PROGRAM AND ARE NOT RELYING ON ANY REPRESENTATION, GUARANTEE OR STATEMENT OTHER THAN AS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT.
5. Referral Commissions and Payments Procedures: The amount of referral commissions due to affiliates will be as follows: For a sale, which we make as a result of a direct referral by an affiliate, that affiliate will generally receive a commission fee of 35% of the selling price of the service or product sold. This is known as a first-tier referral commission.
        For a sale as described in the previous paragraph, if the affiliate who made the direct referral is a sub-affiliate of another affiliate, the second affiliate will generally be eligible for a commission fee of 5% of the selling price of the service or product sold. This is known as a second-tier referral commission. On certain services or products we may pay higher or lower fixed commission fees, solely at our discretion and with no prior notice. A commission will only be credited to an affiliate after the customer has made full payment to us. If a customer later requests a refund or a charge back is issued by the credit card holder whose credit card was used to pay for that customer's account, any commissions that were credited to both first tier and second tier affiliates will be deducted from the next monthly payment. If there is no next monthly payment, the affiliate will be billed and hereby agrees to be bound by law to reimburse us in full for any such commissions. Payments will be issued via check only, made payable to the affiliate in the name the affiliate submits in his or her online registration, and mailed to the mailing address provided by the affiliate. Affiliates must have accumulated commissions of at least $50 for a given payment period before a check will be issued. If commissions are less than $50 for a given month, the commissions will be held over to the next month. This will continue until the commissions accumulate to more than $50. We reserve the right to withhold any payments until you have furnished to us a properly executed W-9 form as prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service. Until we receive your signed W-9 form by fax to MatchMatrix fax # 760-944-9546, your commission checks will be withheld. 
   
   * Note:  Customers who purchase through their own affiliate URL will not be paid commission for those orders. 
   
   
6. Tracking of Sales: We are solely responsible for tracking sales using special software that communicates with the specially encoded URLs assigned to affiliates. We will endeavor to do our best to ensure accurate tracking of referrals made by affiliates. Affiliates will be solely responsible for ensuring that the special URLs are formatted properly, a necessary prerequisite to accurate tracking of referral sales. Notwithstanding this statement of responsibility for us to track sales, affiliates hereby acknowledge and accept that the tracking system employed by us is not 100% fail-safe and that there may be instances of referral sales made that are not credited to an affiliate for any number of possible reasons, which include but are not limited to: Failure by the affiliate to use the proper format of the specially assigned URL in promotions, web page links, banner ads, and so on; deliberate or accidental actions by customers to circumvent an affiliate's special URL so that our software is unable to accurately track that sale; bugs, glitches or crashes of the tracking software that render it unable to accurately track sales for a period of time; acts of a nature that cause irretrievable data loss on the computers and back-up disk media that store the commission information. As such, affiliates will not hold us liable to compensate for any claimed commissions that were not tracked and recorded by the tracking software. We will pay referral fees on any future sales after the customer has re-entered our site through the use of a cookie placed on the end user computer. If, through no fault of ours, the cookie is removed or not allowed by the end user, that customer's purchase may be tracked only if customer enters our site directly through a link from your site. The cookie will expire at the end of 9999 days, the maximum currently allowed under our software.
7. Unsolicited Email: The MatchMatrix Affiliate program does not condone nor support spam (Unsolicited Commercial Email) because we concur that it wastes everyone's time and resources. Further, as the practice of spam grows, the value of email as a communications medium will be diminished. So, we do not allow our customers to send email to people who have not requested it and to people with whom they do not already have an existing relationship. For any customer to do so is a violation of our license agreement and can result in account termination.
8. Affiliate Email Lists: We require that our affiliates only supply an email list of individuals who have provided their email address for the purpose of receiving offers and information in the future. In addition, we require our affiliates to personalize their communication with information that indicates they have an existing relationship with their customers.
9. Complaints from Affiliate Lists: When we receive a complaint of spam, we will immediately review our affiliate’s account and check to see if that affiliate has received an inordinate number of such complaints. If, after reviewing complaints, we find the affiliate’s mailing list questionable, we will restrict access to our services until the affiliate has faxed to us an affidavit stating that they are in compliance with our email policies and are not sending spam. An authorized representative of the affiliate’s company must sign this before their use of our service is reinstated. Finally, if a customer violates this agreement or refuses to sign it, we will refuse to do business with them.
10. Email List Ownership: The affiliate is the owner of their specific email list. However if this contract is terminated we reserve the right to send a one time mailing to that list stating that the affiliate will no longer be sending out MatchMatrix messages and by clicking on a link they can continue to receive the messages from our company list.
11. 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.
12. Miscellaneous: This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the United States and the State of California, without reference to rules governing choice of laws. Any action relating to this Agreement must be brought in the federal or state courts located in San Diego, California and you irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of such courts. 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.

If you agree to all of the above, you may complete the form above to apply for your Affiliate Account.
