As used in this Agreement, “Site” means, depending on the context, either www.Healer.com or the website owned or controlled by Affiliate, on which Affiliate will place Links (as defined below) to Healer.com. Affiliate acknowledges that its participation in the Program will require Affiliate to use Healer.com’s affiliate software.
1. Enrollment in the Program
Affiliate shall submit a completed Program application through the www.Healer.com/affiliate-area to begin the enrollment process. Healer.com will evaluate your application and notify you if the application is accepted or rejected. Healer.com may reject Affiliate’s application for any reason, in Healer.com’s sole discretion, including if Healer.com determines that Affiliate’s Site is unsuitable for the Program. Unsuitable sites include, without limitation, those that contain illegal, offensive, infringing content or content that Healer.com otherwise deems offensive. If Affiliate is accepted into the Program, Affiliate shall notify Healer.com in writing of any significant changes to the content or structure of Affiliate’s Site within ten (10) days of such change(s).
2. Links
For the purposes of this Agreement, “Link(s)” means the code that Healer makes available to Affiliate that is used for linking from your Site to web pages on Healer.com, and may include banners, text, search boxes, buttons, or other graphics or devices. All Links used in the Program shall be served by the Healer.com affiliate program. Healer may, in its sole discretion, consider written requests to use other serving mechanisms, on a case by case basis. Affiliate shall not modify the Links in any way. Healer will not be responsible for errors that occur in the tracking of transactions if Affiliate has made or caused any such modification
3. General Links to Healer.com
Affiliate shall only post Links approved by Healer. Approved Links will be made available to Affiliate through the Healer affiliate program upon Affiliate’s acceptance into the Program. Affiliate may also post on its Site links obtained directly from e-mails and quarterly newsletter received from Healer. Any deviations from the guidelines and treatment described in this Agreement must be approved in advance and in writing by Healer. Healer may at any time, without prior notice, remove the Links described above, require Affiliate to remove the Links, or dynamically replace the Healer creative or text with creative or text suitable to Healer in Healer’s sole discretion.
4. E-mail Links
Affiliate may use Links within e-mails that Affiliate sends to registered users of the Affiliate Site. Use of such Links is subject to all of the requirements and restrictions respecting Links generally as set forth in this Agreement. E-mails making reference to Healer, that include Links, or that concern any other aspect of the Program, may be sent only to individuals who have elected to receive such e-mails. “Spamming,” including the sending of unsolicited electronic communications, will not be tolerated and may lead to termination of this Agreement. You will not be entitled to any Referral Fees generated through Spamming tactics. Affiliate shall comply with any and all regulations, statutes and applicable laws of the United States or any other state, country or jurisdiction related to e-mail, and/or electronic communications. It is Affiliate’s responsibility to be aware of all such regulations, statutes and laws.
5. Transaction Processing
Healer will process transactions placed by customers who follow Links from Affiliate’s Site to the Healer Site. Healer reserves the right to reject transactions that do not comply with any reasonable requirements that Healer may periodically establish. Healer will be responsible for all aspects of transactions processing and fulfillment. Among other things, Healer will prepare order forms; process payments, cancellations, and handle customer service. Healer will track transactions made with customers who purchase premium memberships using Links and generate reports summarizing this sales activity which will be available to Affiliate through the Healer.com affiliate program. The form, content, and frequency of the reports are limited to those reports and capabilities available through the affiliate program technology. Healer is not responsible for any changes that technology provider may make in their reporting format, timing, or types of reports available to members of the Program. To permit accurate tracking, reporting, and fee accrual, Affiliate shall ensure that Links are properly formatted. Healer will not be responsible for improperly formatted Links.
6. Qualified Transactions
Healer will pay Referral Fees (as defined below) to Affiliate for purchased premium memberships in Qualified Transactions (as defined below). For the purposes of this Agreement, a “Qualified Transaction” means a transaction whereby a customer: (i) uses a Link to enter the Healer Site; (ii) purchases a premium membership within 90 days; and (iii) remits full payment to Healer. If a customer initially visits the Healer Site using a Link, any transaction completed by that customer on the Healer Site within the return day period specified, whether or not via a Link, will count as a Qualified Transaction if it otherwise meets the requirements of this Section and the Agreement.
Healer does not accept responsibility for customers who may delete or otherwise not accept cookies used to track return visits to the Healer Site and cannot be held to honor Referral Fees for such untracked return visits. Healer will not pay Referral Fees for any items other than premium memberships in Qualified Transactions (as defined in this Agreement). This means that Healer will not pay you for transactions that, among other things, result from a link directly to Healer.com from any Internet site other than your Site, such as from a Sponsored Link as set forth in Section 14 of this Agreement. This also means that you will not be entitled to Referral Fees for premium memberships that are ultimately returned or refunded.
Referral Fees
Referral Fees means the fees Healer will pay Affiliate based on the number of Qualified Transactions generated by the Affiliate Site, in accordance with the fee schedule set forth below.
Healer will pay Affiliate 30% (thirty percent) per premium membership purchased as part of a Qualified Transaction. If a transaction is $100.00 USD then Healer.com will pay $30.00. All taxes will not be included in payouts. For example if the purchase is $105.50 with 5.50 of tax, then the Qualified Transaction will be $100.00 USD with a $30.00 payout to the affiliate.
8. Fee Payment
Healer will pay Affiliate the Referral Fees on a rolling basis through www.Paypal.com or a direct check, on the 20th of each month to include qualified transactions that are older than 30 days and still in good standing. If, during the 30 day period before a commission is paid out, the originating purchase is refunded, revoked, or removed in any way, we reserve the right to revoke the affiliate commission on that qualified transaction(s). Healer pays affiliates for the Referral Fees earned on Qualified Transactions that are more than 30 days old, less any taxes that Healer is required by law to withhold. Affiliate may track the number of Qualified Transactions and associate Referral Fees through Heal.com’s Affiliate Reporting interface. Healer does not make any guarantee of a minimum amount of business or that Affiliate will earn any amount of Referral Fees under this Agreement.
9. Policies and Pricing
Customers who buy products through the Program will be deemed to be customers of Healer. Accordingly, all Healer.com rules, policies, and operating procedures concerning customer orders, customer service, and product sales will apply to such customers with respect to their transactions at Healer.com. We may change our policies and operating procedures at any time consistent with applicable laws.
10. Promotion of Affiliation with Healer, Inc.
Affiliate may not in any manner misrepresent or embellish the relationship between the parties. While Healer requests that Affiliate identify itself on its Site as a member of the Healer Affiliate Network, Affiliate shall not otherwise engage in any promotions which name Healer or imply any relationship or affiliation between the parties including, but not limited to, press releases, marketing materials, offline print advertising or marketing campaigns, media kits, screen shots, graphics altered for co-branding or any other format or media. Any such promotion will be considered grounds for immediate termination of this Agreement and may invoke further legal action.
11. Limited License for the term of this Agreement
