(k) Issue or post any press release or other

website's services, provided that the recipients have the option to remove
themselves from future mailings and that you otherwise comply with all
applicable laws of your jurisdiction. Further, you may promote your website via
newsgroup postings to newsgroups that specifically welcome commercial messages
(when in doubt, consult the newsgroup FAQ or moderators to be sure that such a
message is acceptable in that newsgroup). We reserve the right to modify
these rules at any time. If we determine, in our sole discretion, that you have

You may not alter graphics containing the Trademarks in any manner. For
example, you may not change the proportion, color, or font of the Trademarks.
You may not display the Trademarks in any manner that implies sponsorship,
endorsement by us other than of your involvement in the Program. You may not
use the Trademarks to disparage our company, our products or services, or in a
manner which, in our reasonable judgment, may diminish or otherwise damage our
goodwill in the Trademarks. You acknowledge that all rights to the Trademarks are
our exclusive property, and all goodwill generated through your use of the
Trademark will inure to our benefit. If we determine, in our sole
discretion, that you have violated any of the foregoing restrictions, we may
(without limiting any other rights or remedies available to us) withhold any
commission otherwise payable to you under this Agreement and/or terminate this
Agreement. If we are required to enforce any of the foregoing restrictions, you
will be obligated to reimburse us for any attorneys' fees incurred in
connection therewith.
5. Order Processing
We will process product orders placed by
customers who follow a Special Link from your website to our Website. 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 website to our Website and will make available to you
reports summarizing this sales activity. The form, content, and frequency of
the reports may vary from time to time at our discretion.
6. Commission
Subject
to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, you will be eligible to earn
commission on certain product sales in accordance with Sections 7 and 8 below.
For a product sale to be eligible for commission credits, the customer must
follow a Special Link that you share to our Website, select and purchase the
product using our automated ordering system, accept delivery of the product at
the shipping destination, and remit full payment to us.
7. Earning Commission Credits
Standard Commission Credit Rate You will
accrue commission credits based on Qualifying Revenues according to commission
credit rates established by us from time to time. "Qualifying
Revenues" are revenues derived by us from our sales of products, after
reduction for discounts, coupons and/or gift card redemptions, as a result of
purchases made by visitors to our Website that come directly through a Special
Link on your website. "Qualifying Revenues" do not include gift card
purchases, shipping & handling, gift-wrapping or taxes. For all
affiliates other than Coupon Affiliates and Sub-Affiliates (see below), the
commission rate is 15% of Qualifying Revenues.
30-Day Cookie
The Program uses a 30-day cookie. This means
that if a visitor to your website clicks through a Special Link to our Website,
you will be eligible for commission credits on Qualifying Revenues related to
purchases made by such visitor within 30 days of such visitor’s click on the
Special Link on your website. The Program also employs a last-cookie principal.
This means that we will credit a sale to a different affiliate, GOOD TO GO sales
channel or GOOD TO GO website if after a visitor clicks through a Special Link
on your website the visitor clicks on a Special Link from such other
affiliate’s website, a GOOD TO GO-sponsored advertisement or a link on one GOOD
TO GO website that will take the visitor to another GOOD TO GO website.
8. Commission Payment
No
commission will be earned or payable unless and until you have in any given
Program Year (defined below) accrued commission credits of at least $10.00.
“Program Year” refers to any 12-month period beginning June 1 and ending May
31. If you do not accrue such minimum commission credit amount by the end of
such Program Year, any commission credits in your account will be canceled and
permanently deleted from your account. Any accrued but unpaid commission
existing in your account as of the effective date of this agreement will be
converted to commission credits as of the effective date of this agreement.
Your acceptance of this agreement or continued participation in the Program
shall constitute your assent to these terms. Subject to the foregoing minimum
annual commission credits rule, we pay commission on a monthly basis. If a
product that generated commission credits is returned by the customer, we will
deduct the corresponding commission from your next commission payment. If there
is no subsequent payment, we will send you a bill for the commission. If
you accrue the minimum commission credit amount during a Program Year but less
than $10.00 remains in your account as of the end of such Program Year, such
credits will be carried over to the following Program Year as if they were
earned on the first day of such following Program Year. As such, if you do not
accrue the minimum commission credit amount during such following Program Year
(including such carried over credits), such carried over credits will be
canceled and permanently deleted from your account at the end of such following
Program Year.
9. Policies And Pricing
Customers who buy products through the Program
will be deemed to be customers of GOOD TO GO. Accordingly, all of our rules,
policies, and operating procedures concerning customer orders, customer
service, and 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 products sold under this Program in accordance
with our own pricing policies. Product prices and availability may vary from
time to time. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to present accurate
information, but we cannot guarantee the availability or price of any
particular product.
10. Identifying Yourself As An Affiliate
We will make available to you a small graphic
image that identifies your website as a Program participant. This logo or the
phrase "In affiliation with GOOD TO GO" must be displayed conspicuously
on your website. We may modify the text or graphic image of this notice from
time to time. In addition, we encourage (but do not require) you to include a
Special Link on your website to our home page at www.good2gosnacks.com/ or www.good2gosnacks.ca.
Special Rules for Endorsements: In addition, if your website offers
an endorsement of the Website and/or its products or services, you must clearly
disclose your relationship as an affiliate to GOOD TO GO. Such disclosure must
be in clear proximity to the endorsement itself. An “Endorsement” means any
message that consumers are likely to believe reflects your opinions, beliefs,
findings, or experiences regarding GOOD TO GO and/or our products or services.
11. Limited License

non-sublicensable, revocable right to use the product images, graphics, logos

12. Responsibility For Your Website

development, operation, and maintenance of your website and for all materials

does not contain any items that have been discontinued from our product
