Terms and Conditions
	To be an authorized affiliate of FishUSA.com, you agree to abide by the terms and conditions contained in this agreement. Please read this agreement carefully before registering to become a FishUSA.com affiliate. By signing up for the FishUSA.com affiliate program, you indicate your acceptance of this agreement and its terms and conditions. To become a FishUSA.com Affiliate, you must agree to the terms and conditions set forth below. Please read these terms and conditions, then click the checkbox if you agree and fully understand these terms and conditions. FishUSA.com Affiliate Program Terms & Conditions This Agreement (the "Agreement") describes the complete terms and conditions that apply to an individual's or an entity's participation in the FishUSA.com Affiliate Program (the "Program") operated by FishUSA, Inc. When used throughout this Agreement, "we" and "us" refer to FishUSA, Inc., and "you" refers to the applicant. "Site" refers to a World Wide Web site which, depending on the context used in this Agreement, may refer to the FishUSA.com site or a site operated by you. 1. How to enroll in the FishUSA.com Affiliate Program You apply to participate in the Program by completing our online application. By completing and submitting an application, you acknowledge and agree to all the terms of this Agreement. We will evaluate your application and notify you by email if you have or have not been accepted into the Program. We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to exclude any site that we feel is inappropriate. Sites which we consider inappropriate include, but are not limited to, sites that contain or promote violence or sexually explicit content or products, sites that promote illegal activities, sites that discriminate on the basis of race, sex, age, nationality, disability, sexual orientation or religion, and sites that violate intellectual property rights. 2. Linking to FishUSA.com You will provide a link on your site to a specific web site address (the "special link") which we will supply to you upon your acceptance in the Program. This link must conform to all the standards set forth in this Agreement. 3. Order Processing We will process all product orders placed by customers who follow the special link from your site to the FishUSA.com site. We reserve the right to reject orders that do not comply with any requirements that we may establish periodically. We will be responsible for all aspects of order processing and fulfillment including, but not limited to, processing payments, order cancellations, product returns and customer service. We will track sales made to customers who purchase products using the special link from your site to our site. To ensure that you receive appropriate credit for sales that originated from your site, it is your responsibility to correctly implement the special link between your site and our site. We are not responsible for errors made on your part in using the special link, or for sales not tracked due to circumstances which are beyond our reasonable control. 4. Referral Fees We will pay you a referral fee for all sales which meet all of the following criteria: The customer must follow a special link from your site to the FishUSA.com site. The customer must purchase a product or products online from FishUSA.com within 15 days of the date they follow the special link from your site to the FishUSA.com and within that time the customer does not (a) click on the link of another one of our affiliates, or (b) turn off or otherwise disabled the "cookie" set when they clicked on the special link. The customer must accept delivery of the product and remit full payment to us. Referral fees are considered earned on the date on which the order is shipped by us. If the order is shipped in more than one shipment on more than a single day, the fee on that order is considered earned on the date of the last shipment of that order. You will not be paid a referral fee on any item which is returned to us by the customer for a refund within 30 days of purchase. If an item is exchanged and the exchanged item is not subsequently returned for a refund within 30 days, you will be paid a referral fee on the exchanged item rather than the item returned. You will not be paid a referral fee on any order which is placed using Google Checkout. Currently, due to its technology, we cannot track orders which use Google Checkout as the payment method. You may purchase products during sessions initiated through the links on your site for your own use. However, you may not purchase products during sessions initiated through the links on your site for resale or commercial use of any kind; Such purchases may result (in our sole discretion) in the withholding of referral fees or the termination of this Agreement. In addition, you may not both use a coupon or obtain another discount, and earn a commission on products you purchase. If you use a coupon or obtain another discount in connection with a sale for your own use, we will not credit that sale for an affiliate commission. 5. Referral Fee Rate Schedule You will earn referral fees based on the sale price of products sold on the FishUSA.com online store according to the fee schedule we establish. "Sale price" means the price shown on our site at the time of purchase and excludes shipping charges and, if applicable, sales taxes. "Sale price" is calculated after the application of any discounts or coupons used by the purchaser in connection with that sale. Referral fees will be calculated each calendar month. The current referral fee rate is 7% on all qualifying sales. 6. Payment of Referral Fees We will pay you referral fees on a monthly basis. Within twenty (20) days following the end of each calendar month, we will mail you a check, or pay via PayPal, for the referral fees you earned during that month, less any taxes that we are required by law to withhold. However, if the referral fees payable to you for any calendar month are less than $20.00, we will withhold those fees until the total amount due to you is at least $20.00. If this Agreement is terminated, we will send you payment for all referral fees you earned, regardless of the amount. All payments will be made in United States dollars. If you selected the PayPal option at login, the email you provided must be the same email that is associated with your PayPal account. All affiliates outside the United States must use PayPal as their payment method. If a product that generated a referral fee is returned to us by the customer, and if we have already paid to you a referral fee for the sale of that product, we will deduct the corresponding fee from your next monthly payment for that return. If there is no subsequent payment, we will mail you a bill for the amount of the fee. Absent manifest error, the number or amount of sales that are calculated by us in good faith shall be final and binding on you. 7. Program Policies and Pricing Those customers who buy products through the Program will be deemed to be customers of FishUSA.com. Therefore, all rules, policies, and operating procedures concerning customer orders, customer service, and product sales are defined exclusively by us. We reserve the right to change our product pricing, policies and general operating procedures at any time. 8. Link Format Requirements You are required to select and use one of the approved FishUSA.com graphical icons or text links we provide. When users click on this graphical icon or link, you must use the special link we supply you with to forward the customer to our store. You may also choose to link to the FishUSA.com web site by using a text link we provide, and you must use the special link we supply you with to forward the customer to our store. At our request, you agree that you will identify for us the location of each of the affiliate graphics and links you are using. 9. FishUSA, Inc.

Terms of this Agreement The terms of this Agreement will begin upon our acceptance of your Program application and will end when terminated by either party. Either you or we may terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause, by giving the other party written or email notice of termination.
