1. Program Enrollment
To begin the enrollment process, you must submit a complete Partner Program application via our site. We will notify you of your acceptance within five minutes of receiving it. We may reject your application if we determine (in our sole discretion) that your site is unsuitable for the Program. Unsuitable sites include sites that:

• Promote, contain, or link to sexually explicit materials
• Promote violence
• Promote discrimination based on race, sex, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation, or age
• Promote illegal activities
• Contain any libelous, defamatory, or disparaging materials

If we reject your application, you are welcome to reapply to the Program at any time.

2. Listing SnowboardingTips.com on Your Web Site
You may display as many links to SnowboardingTips.com as you would like on your Web site. If you incorporate our marks or links into a site that is not subject to the terms and conditions hereof, this Agreement will be deemed null and void. You may not alter any banners, logos, or other content without written permission from SnowboardingTips.com. All modified links must be approved by SnowboardingTips.com. We reserve the right in our sole discretion to monitor your site at any time and from time to time to determine if you are in compliance with the terms of the Agreement. You may not at any time list prices, policies or terms, availability information, or similar information on your site.

3. Order Processing
We will process product orders placed by customers who follow special links from your site to SnowboardingTips.com. 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 fulfillment.

Among other things, we will prepare order forms; process payments, cancellations, and returns; and handle customer service. We will track sales made to customers who purchase products using special links from your site to our catalog and will send you reports summarizing this sales activity. The form, content, and frequency of the reports may vary from time to time in our discretion. To permit accurate tracking, reporting, and fee accrual, you must ensure that the links between your site and our site are properly formatted. If our product pages change and you have links that direct visitors to those pages, we will redirect your visitors to an appropriate page automatically.

4. Commissions
We will pay you commission on all product sales to third parties. For a product sale to generate a commission, the customer must follow a link from your site to our site, purchase the product using our automated ordering system, accept delivery of the product at the shipping destination, and remit full payment to us.

5. Fee Schedule
You will earn commission based on the sale price of qualifying products, according to fee schedules to be established by us. Sale price means the sale price a customer pays for a product and excludes costs for shipping, handling, gift wrapping, returns, charge-backs, fraud, exchanges, credit card processing fees, and taxes. The current fee schedule is as follows:

• $10 commission for every sale made through our online Snowboarding Safety Shop
• $5 commission for every sale by your Sub-Affiliates

6. Fee Payment
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, we will pay you commission on a monthly basis. Approximately 30 days following the end of each calendar month, we will send you a check for the commission earned on products that were shipped during that quarter, less any taxes that we are required by law to withhold. If the fees payable to you for any month are less than $25.00, we will hold those fees until the total amount due is at least $25.00 or until this Agreement is terminated (if earlier). If a product that generated a commission is returned by the customer, we will deduct the corresponding fee from your next quarterly payment. If there is no subsequent payment, we will send you a bill for the fee.

7. Policies and Pricing
Customers who purchase products through this Program will be deemed to be customers of SnowboardingTips.com. Accordingly, all SnowboardingTips.com rules, policies, and operating procedures concerning customer orders, customer service, marketing, promotions, and product sales will apply to those customers. We may change our policies and operating procedures at any time. We will determine the prices to be charged for sporting goods products sold under this Program in accordance with our own pricing policies. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to present accurate information, but we cannot guarantee the availability or price of any particular product.
