Merchant Referral Terms and Conditions
- Affiliate Relationship
-
Affiliate agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to promote and
solicit orders for TrialPay's services on a non-exclusive basis in accordance
with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. However, nothing in this
Agreement shall be construed as limiting in any manner (i) TrialPay's marketing
or distribution activities or its appointment of other affiliates,
distributors, or representatives of any kind, or (ii) if applicable, an Affiliate
Agreement or Affiliate Agreement Insertion Order entered into between the
parties. Affiliate acknowledges and agrees that TrialPay is not bound to any
price (or any other term) with respect to the sale of any TrialPay product or
service until TrialPay has accepted such sale and Affiliate will not represent
or imply anything to the contrary. Affiliate acknowledges and agrees that
additional terms and conditions applicable to Affiliate are and will be
maintained on a webpage that TrialPay designates as Affiliate's "TrialPay
Merchant Website," which terms and conditions are incorporated herein by
this reference. TrialPay reserves the right to modify this Agreement
(including, without limitation, any additional terms and conditions maintained
on the TrialPay Merchant Website) at any time, effective upon first posting of
an updated version of this Agreement. Affiliate is responsible for regularly
reviewing this Agreement and becoming familiar with any such modifications.
Affiliate's participation in the TrialPay Referral Program after any such
modification shall constitute Affiliate's consent to such modification.
- Linking Arrangement
-
If TrialPay and Affiliate agree that Affiliate will participate in
TrialPay's Referral Program by including a link from Affiliate's website to
TrialPay's website, then Affiliate agrees to place TrialPay's GIF button(s)
link provided by TrialPay (the "Link") in a prominent position on
Affiliate's website. Affiliate agrees that it will not (i) include any HTML
code in the Link file, or (ii) otherwise alter the Link without TrialPay's
prior written consent. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, TrialPay hereby
grants Affiliate a non-exclusive license during the term of this Agreement to
place the Link on Affiliate's website in a manner consistent with TrialPay's
trademark policies promulgated from time to time.
- Revenue Sharing
-
Subject to the terms of this Agreement and Affiliate's compliance therewith,
TrialPay agrees to compensate Affiliate for each Qualified Referral in
accordance with the terms specified on the then current TrialPay Merchant
Website during the period specified therein. A "Qualified Referral"
shall mean any customer of TrialPay that either (i) enters the TrialPay website
directly and identifiably via a Link, or (ii) is referred by Affiliate to
TrialPay in writing, is ready to purchase TrialPay services at the time of the
referral, and is accepted by TrialPay in writing as a Qualified Referral (which
acceptance will not be unreasonably withheld).
- Payment
-
All undisputed revenue share payments shall be made on a calendar quarterly
basis within thirty (30) days after the end of the calendar quarter during
which TrialPay paid the applicable Transaction Revenues to the Qualified
Referral. Affiliates that are existing TrialPay merchants (using the TrialPay
services) will be paid by credit to their merchant account. However, any
quarterly revenue share payment that would be less than one hundred dollars
($100) will not become due and payable until the end of the quarter in which
the cumulative quarterly revenue share payment would first equal or exceed one
hundred dollars ($100).
- Term/Termination
-
This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall remain in
effect for two (2) year(s) from the Effective Date, unless terminated earlier
as provided in this Agreement. Either party may terminate this Agreement if the
other party materially fails to perform any of its obligations and such failure
continues for a period of thirty (30) days after receipt by the defaulting party
of a written notice specifying the default. Further, TrialPay may terminate
this Agreement at its discretion.
- Warranty Disclaimer
-
TRIALPAY MAKES NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS WITH
RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT AND SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ALL
WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY,
NONINFRINGEMENT AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
- Proprietary Information
-
Affiliate acknowledges that, in the course of performing its duties under
this Agreement, it may obtain business, technical or financial information
relating to TrialPay, all of which is confidential and proprietary
("Proprietary Information"). Affiliate and its employees and agents
shall, at all times, both during the term of this Agreement and after its
termination, keep in trust and confidence all such Proprietary Information, and
shall not use such Proprietary Information other than in the course of its
duties as expressly provided in this Agreement; nor shall Affiliate or its
employees and agents disclose any such Proprietary Information without
TrialPay's prior written consent. Affiliate shall not be bound by this Section
with respect to information it can document has entered or later enters the
public domain through no act or omission of Affiliate, or is lawfully received
by Affiliate from third parties without restriction and without breach of any
duty of nondisclosure by such third party.

OF THIS AGREEMENT OR UNDER CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER
LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY FOR (a) ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR
EXEMPLARY DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF REVENUE OR GOODWILL

The parties hereto expressly understand and agree that each party is an
independent contractor in the performance of each and every part of this
Agreement. Affiliate shall be solely responsible for all of its employees and
agents and its labor costs and expenses arising in connection therewith and for
any and all claims, liabilities or damages that may arise on account of
Affiliate's activities, or those of its employees or agents, in the performance
of this Agreement. Affiliate does not have the authority, right or ability to
bind or commit TrialPay in any way (including, without limitation, by agreeing
to sales of TrialPay products or services) and will not attempt to do so or
imply that it may do so. Affiliate will indemnify TrialPay from any and all
claims, liabilities, losses, and expenses of any type that may arise on account
of Affiliate's activities, or those of its employees or agents, including
without limitation, providing unauthorized representations or warranties or
breaching any term, representation or warranty of this Agreement.
- Additional Terms and Conditions
-
Affiliate may not bid on the trademarked name "TrialPay" or any variations
that contain the word "TrialPay" in any Google AdWords campaigns (or similar
campaigns). Affiliate may bid on
descriptive terms such as "Increase Conversions" or "Shopping Cart" or the
like. Usage of www.trialpay.com or any URL that contains
the trademarked name TrialPay as an Affiliate's visible URL in a Google AdWords
campaign (or similar campaign) is also prohibited. "TrialPay" is a trademarked name. Affiliate may not register
or use any domain names that include "TrialPay," any other trademark of
TrialPay, Inc. or trademark of related TrialPay partners, or variations or
misspellings of the aforementioned entities and trademarks in URLs that appear
to the left of the top-level domain name (e.g. ".com", ".net", ".uk",
etc.). For example, URLs such as
"trialpay.mydomain.com", "trialpay.com" or "trialpayfreestuff.net" are
prohibited. Affiliate also agrees
that it will not offer any incentives or referral-revenue-sharing to Qualified
Referrals or other entities signing up for TrialPay's services via the
Affiliate, unless specifically sanctioned by TrialPay, Inc.
No subsidiaries or related companies will be counted under this bonus plan. Twenty-five (25) distinct and real individuals must make a TrialPay purchase in order to qualify for the twenty-five transaction threshold. Consumer purchases must be made by individuals who have no personal affiliation with the Affiliate.
TrialPay in its sole discretion determines whether a violation of the terms and conditions has occurred. Violations of any of the above terms and conditions will be grounds for suspension of Affiliate's TrialPay merchant account and will be cause for immediate forfeiture of any pending payments. Furthermore, TrialPay in its sole discretion will determine whether a transaction is fraudulent. TrialPay reserves the right to invalidate any transaction it deems to be fraudulent.
