The PrintGlobe Affiliate Program Agreement contains the terms and conditions to your participation as an Affiliate in the PrintGlobe Affiliate Program; including conditions for the use of graphical banners and text links from your affiliate web site to our web site, www.printglobe.com. Please read through the entire agreement and when you're ready to join, click on the "Join Now!" link at the bottom of the page. By submitting your application, you will have agreed to all terms set forth below.

1) Joining the PrintGlobe Affiliate Program - To join, submit a complete Affiliate Program application through our site. Our staff will review your application and notify you of your acceptance or rejection within 2 business days. We may reject your application if we determine that your site is unsuitable for any reason, including, but not limited to, inclusion of content that is in any way unlawful, harmful, threatening, defamatory, obscene, harassing, or racially, ethnically, or otherwise objectionable. If we reject your application, you are welcome to reapply to the Affiliate Program at any time. If we accept your application and your site is thereafter determined (in our sole discretion) to be unsuitable for our Affiliate Program, we may terminate this Agreement.

Once your application is approved, you will receive and email welcoming you to the program. This email will contain the username/password combination created when you joined and a link to the Affiliate Administration Center. Just log in and start placing banners and/or text links on your site!

2) Promotion of the Affiliate program - As an Affiliate participant, we will make available to you via our Affiliate Administration Center a variety of graphical banners and text links, which, subject to the terms of use herein, you may display as often and in as many areas on your site as you desire. These banners and text links will serve to identify your site as a member of our Affiliate Program and will establish a link from your site to ours. To permit accurate tracking, reporting, and referral fee accrual, we will provide you with html code to be pasted into your site. You must ensure that you not alter this code in any way, as the reporting functionality can be lost. Printglobe is not responsible for damage or loss of commissions due to the alteration of the affiliate code provided.

In utilizing the links, you agree that you will cooperate fully with us in order to establish and maintain such links. You also agree that you will display in your site only those graphical banners and text links that are provided by us, and you will substitute such images with any new images provided by us from time to time throughout the term of this Agreement. All Affiliate Sites shall display such graphical banners and/or text links prominently in relevant sections of their site. All links may be modified and/or expanded from time to time throughout the term of this Agreement pursuant to the mutual agreement of the parties hereto. Each banner and link connecting users of your site to the pertinent area of our site will in no way alter the look, feel, or functionality of our site.

* Affiliates must accurately promote PrintGlobe's products, prices, promotions and is prohibited from displaying misleading or false information about PrintGlobe, its products or offerings.

3) PrintGlobe Responsibilities - We will be responsible for providing all information necessary to allow you to make appropriate links from your site to our site. We will be solely responsible for processing every order placed by a customer following a special link from your site, for tracking the volume and amount of sales generated by your site, and for providing information to Affiliate Sites regarding sales statistics. We will be responsible for order entry, payment processing, shipping, cancellations, returns, and related customer service. All reporting information is available in real time via our Affiliate Administration Center.

4) Commission Types/Amounts - PrintGlobe offers a Two-tier Affiliate program, Tier-1 and Tier-2. Tier-1 affiliates earn 5% of the total order on all sales for the life of that customer. This applies to any and all PrintGlobe product offerings. As an added incentive, Tier-1 affiliates can promote the PrintGlobe Affiliate Program by signing up Tier-2 affiliates, earning an additional 2% commission on all sales made through those affiliates that sign up under you (Sign up a Tier-2 affiliate, earn 2% from their orders!!).

5) Commission Payment - When the total commission payment(s) due to you exceed $25.00 at the end of any calendar month, you will be paid by a company check for the applicable commission (less any taxes required to be withheld under applicable law) and a statement of activity will be provided to you. Such commission checks and statements of activity will be sent approximately 30 days after the end of each calendar month and will be paid in US Dollars only. However, if the commissions due to you for any calendar month are less than $25, we will hold such commissions until the total amount due is at least $25 or (if earlier) until this Agreement is terminated.

6) Affiliate Administration Center - Is a password-protected area of our site that provides affiliates an administration console to check daily statistics related to their affiliate accounts. This area also provides the necessary banners and text links (html code) available for creating tracking links from your site to ours.

7) Policies and Pricing - Customers who buy PrintGlobe products through the Affiliate Program will be deemed to be customers of PrintGlobe, Inc. Accordingly, all of our rules, policies, and operating procedures concerning customer orders, customer service, and PrintGlobe product sales will apply to those customers. We may change our policies and operating procedures at any time. For example, we will determine the prices to be charged for PrintGlobe products sold under the Affiliate Program in accordance with our own pricing policies. Prices and availability of PrintGlobe products may vary from time to time. Because price changes may affect products that you already have listed on your site, you may not include price information in your product descriptions. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to present accurate information, but we cannot guarantee the availability or price of any particular product.

8) Publicity - You shall not create, publish, distribute, or permit any written material that makes reference to us without first submitting such material for review and receiving our written consent, which we agree shall not be unreasonably withheld.
