Enrolment in the Programme To begin the enrolment process, you need to submit a completed programme application form via our site. The programme is only open to businesses and individuals registered or resident in the UK, and applicants must be over 18 years of age. We will evaluate your application in good faith and will notify you of your acceptance or rejection. We may reject your application if we determine (at our sole discretion) that your site is unsuitable for the programme. Unsuitable sites include, but are not limited to, those that: promote sexually explicit materials promote violence promote discrimination based on race, sex, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation or age promote illegal activities breach intellectual property rights include "matren" or variations or misspellings thereof in their domain names If we reject your application, you are welcome to re-apply at any time if the issues detailed in rejecting your application have been addressed. You should also note that if we accept your application and your site is thereafter determined (at our sole discretion) to be unsuitable for the programme, we may terminate this agreement. If the details submitted to us on your application form are changed, then we must be advised immediately by e-mail at affiliates@matren.co.uk 3. Links on Your Site We grant you a revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, world-wide, royalty-free licence for the duration of the term of this agreement, solely for purposes of facilitating referrals from your site to our site and to establish and maintain lists and links as detailed in this agreement: We will provide you with guidelines and graphical artwork to use in linking. You must adhere to these guidelines. At our direction, you shall remove all links to our site within two days of the date of notice. Except for the licence granted under this section, you do not obtain any rights, interest or title under this agreement in any intellectual property. This includes, without limitation, any intellectual property with respect to the special links, link formats, technical specifications or guidelines or graphical artwork referenced above, or with respect to any of our domain names and trademarks. 4. Order Processing We will process orders placed by customers who follow the special links from your site to our site. We reserve the right to reject orders that do not comply with any requirements that we periodically may establish. We will be responsible for all aspects of order processing and fulfilment. Among other things, we will prepare order forms, process payments, cancellations and handle customer service. We will track sales made to customers who purchase advertisements using the special links from your site to our site and will publish reports summarising this sales activity. The form, content and frequency of the reports may vary from time to time at our discretion. To permit accurate tracking, reporting and fee accrual, you must ensure that the special links between your site and our site are properly formatted. We will not be liable for paying referral fees on purchases that are not correctly tracked and reported because the links between your site and our site are not properly formatted. 5. Referral Fees For a sale to generate a referral fee, the customer must follow a special link from your site to our site, purchase an advertisement on our site using our automated ordering system, accept delivery of the advert and remit full payment to us. We will not pay referral fees on any advertisments that may subsequently be purchased. The programme is intended for commercial use only and you may not purchase advertisements through the programme for your own site or business. In addition to any other rights we may have, such purchases may result (at our sole discretion) in the withholding of referral fees and/or the termination of this agreement. You acknowledge that these actions, while not exclusive, are a reasonable assessment of the damage we will suffer as a result of a breach of this clause by you. In addition, you may not directly or indirectly offer any person or entity any consideration or incentive (including, without limitation, payment of money or awarding of any benefits) for using special links on your site to access our site. (e.g., by implementing any "rewards" programme for persons or entities who use special links on your site to access our site). If we determine, in our sole discretion, that you have offered any person or entity any such consideration or incentive, we may (without limiting any other rights or actions available to us) withhold any referral fees otherwise payable to you under this agreement. 6. Referral Fees Schedule You will earn referral fees based on qualifying revenues according to referral fee schedules to be established by us. The current referral fee schedule is 20% of all revenue generated on initial orders of advertisements to new customers. 7. Fee Payment We will pay you referral fees (including VAT, if applicable), on presentation of a valid invoice, one calendar month after the end of each calendar month. We will send you payment for the referral fees earned on qualifying advertisements that were fulfilled during that month, less any taxes that we may be required by law to withhold. However, if the fees payable to you for any calendar month are less than �50.00, we will hold those fees until the total amount due is at least �50.00 or (if earlier) until this agreement is terminated. If the customer cancels an advertisement that generated a referral fee to us within the "cooling-off period" of 7 days, no referral fee will be payable. 8. Policies and Pricing To avoid any doubt, customers who buy advertisements through this programme will be our customers. Accordingly, all our rules, policies and operating procedures concerning customer orders, customer service and product sales will apply to those customers. Such policies and operating procedures may be changed at any time. For example, we will determine the prices to be charged for advertisements sold under this programme in accordance with our own pricing policies. Product prices and availability may vary from time to time. 9. Responsibility for Your Site You will be solely responsible for the development, operation and maintenance of your site and for all materials that appear on your site.
