Affiliate Agreement

This Affiliate Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made by and between The Dames, LLC (the “Company”) and the undersigned (“Affiliate”) and is effective as of the date of Affiliate’s signature below (the “Effective Date”). The Company and the Affiliate may also be referred to individually as a “party” or together as the “parties.”

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises, covenants and conditions hereinafter set forth, and for other good and valuable considerations, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Terms & Conditions

1. Term; Termination. This Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and terminate upon 30 days written notice from one party to the other. The Company can also terminate this Agreement immediately upon a finding by the Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, that Affiliate has violated any term of this Agreement.

2. Referral Program Details.

2.1. Hyperlinks. Affiliate will be assigned a unique hyperlink (the “Hyperlink”) that Affiliate must use when referring potential clients by email, on their website, or social media. This unique Hyperlink will direct potential clients to a landing page on the Company’s website and prompt them to complete an order form and process payment to become a member. Affiliate is only entitled to one Referral Fee (defined by Section 3 below) per client.

2.2. Limitations on Referrals.

• • Affiliate will not be entitled to receive a Referral Fee with respect to any entity or person referred by Affiliate that, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, owns or controls, or is owned, controlled by, or under common control with, Affiliate (a “Self-Referral”). The Company will determine in its sole discretion whether a referral is a Self-Referral under this Section.
  • If a potential client is referred to the Company by more than one participant in Company’s Affiliate Program, then the Referral Fee will be payable only to the affiliate whose hyperlink was used by the client to become a member with the Company.
  • If a potential client is already in the Company’s CRM system prior to the Affiliate making the referral, then the Affiliate will not be entitled to a Referral Fee, even if the potential client had not previously purchased products or services from the Company.
  • Company is not responsible for referrals that are lost through no fault of Company, including, without limitation, if Affiliate provides Company with erroneous client information or provides a client with erroneous referral information, or if the potential client has disabled cookies or implemented another similar technology that prevents the Company from tracking the hyperlink the client used to access the Company’s website.

3. Compensation for Referrals. Subject to the restrictions contained in this Agreement, Affiliate will be entitled to $50 for each new client referral (the “Referral Fee”).

4. Payment Terms. Affiliate will be paid Referral Fees that are due and payable in one payment at the end of each calendar year, unless $100 or more in Referral Fees is due and payable to Affiliate, in which case the Company will pay Affiliate at the end of the next fiscal quarter. Payment will be made via PayPal. Affiliate is responsible for establishing a PayPal/Venmo account as a condition to receiving payment under this Agreement. Referral Fee payments will only become due and payable to Affiliate once the Company has received the entire payment from the referred client. If Company does not receive payment from the referred client, then Affiliate will not be entitled to a Referral Fee.

5. Non-Exclusivity. This Agreement is not exclusive to either party. The Company will have similar agreements with others participating in Company’s Affiliate Program. The Company does not guarantee uniformity between the terms in this Agreement and terms of any other affiliate agreement between the Company and any third party. Both parties are also free to participate in any other affiliate program.
