without limitation, attorneys' fees) arising from or related to the development, operation, maintenance,
and contents of your site, your Materials, your negligent or willful acts, or your breach of this agreement.

2.4. You agree that you are an independent contractor, and nothing in this agreement will create any partnership, joint venture, agency, franchise, sales representative, or employment relationship between you and Jamie Scrimgeour or any of her products. You will have no authority to make or accept any offers or representations on our behalf. You will not make any statement, whether on your site or any
other of your site or otherwise, that reasonably would contradict anything in this section.

2.5. The Program Operator requires your primary email address be listed in your Affiliate Profile. Affiliates will not be able to use the website or participate in the affiliate program until their email addresses are verified. Those who fail to verify their email address or use an email address that generates an error response consistently (e.g., "User is over quota" or "Mailbox full") will forfeit any commissions due and
this contract will be terminated immediately. You may not use an email address with an auto responder as your Program Operator email address.
When you visit the Program Operator's websites or send emails to the Program Operator, you are communicating electronically. You consent to receive communications from the Program Operator electronically. The Program Operator will communicate with you by email.

You agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures and other communications that the Program Operator provides to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing. If you are an Affiliate, you understand that you may NOT opt out of any emails that you receive from the Program Operator. As an Affiliate, you must continually have a valid email account on file with the Program Operator or we reserve the right to terminate your participation immediately,
without any refund or payment of any commission due.

2.6. Affiliate Sales & Tracking: After signing up for the affiliate program, you will receive a unique affiliate URL which you will use to advertise the website and product. When someone clicks through this URL, a cookie (or similar tracking technology) will be set in their browser with your Affiliate ID and their IP address may also be logged with your Affiliate ID.

During that visit to the website or any later visit, when a purchase is made or refunded the commission will be given based on the existence of the cookie. We
may collect, use and share any information or data generated through the system for our business purposes.

In order to receive proper credit for sales, a person or entity must purchase through your unique affiliate URL. Masking or cloaking of the links (whether done by software or by a script and sometimes referred to as "affiliate link cloaking") may or may not work with parts of the website. The Program Operator allows masking or cloaking but you must provide a repeatable process for our verification of the cloaked
link, otherwise the use of the masked or cloaked link is disallowed. We may also withhold payment if, in our reasonable discretion, we have reason to believe that acts or omissions by you related to our Affiliate Program are fraudulent, illegal, or otherwise improper or in violation of this agreement.

3. COMMISSIONS & REFERRAL FEES
Subject to the terms and conditions of this agreement, you will receive a commission for sending authorized sales via your affiliate links. Payout rates may be changed at anytime and can be viewed via your affiliate account on the affiliate platform. It is your responsibility to determine if the payout for a link you have placed has been changed or discontinued. Jamie Scrimgeour uses a third party, Kajabi, to handle all affiliate tracking. All disputes regarding whether a commission is due shall be resolved by Program Operator’s reasonable discretion.
Commissions on products and services are paid at the most-current rates which are:

• $2.50/month USD up to 100 members -  up to 250 a month
  
• $3.00/month USD for 101-1000 members – up to $3000 a month
  
• $3.50/month USD for 1000+ members – unlimited 

3.1 Commission Schedule
Commissions are paid out within the first ten (10) business days of each calendar month for sales which have been locked thirty (30) days after the transaction date. Subsequent commission payments will continue to be paid out within the first ten (10) business days of each calendar month. Example: If a transaction occurs on Friday, May 13, it will go into a 30-day locking period and will be “locked” into our system on June 12. This commission payment will be paid out on the next payment run within the first 10 business days of July. Commissions are not paid for any sales for which payment has not been received, or for any transaction that has been rejected for any reason.
We are not responsible for paying interest to Affiliates for accrued but not yet delivered commission payments.

If a transaction incurs a charge-back or refund, or if an online transaction is not completed in every way, or if we have reason to believe a transaction is fraudulent or violates any of the terms of this Agreement in our reasonable discretion, no commission shall be paid to the Affiliate for such transaction. If a
commission has already been paid, then it will be deducted from an active Affiliate's future commissions or Affiliate will be required to pay Jamie Scrimgeour within sixty (60) days of receiving an invoice from Jamie Scrimgeour

All commissions are paid in US Dollars via PayPal. Each Affiliate is responsible for always maintaining a PayPal account through which they receive their commissions/referral fees. The Program Operator assumes no responsibility for an Affiliate not maintaining their PayPal account. If you fail to setup a
PayPal account and Program Operator is unable to pay you after one hundred-twenty (120) days after you have earned commissions or referral fees because of such failure, then you waive, and agree that you shall not be paid for, any such commissions or referral fees.

You will only be eligible to receive commissions as long as your are an active part of the Affiliate Program. 

3.2. Payment Processor Fees

All commissions are calculated based on the gross transaction, including all sales, refunds and charge- backs. "Gross transaction" means that processor fees are not deducted from the base amount when calculating commissions.

3.3. Unauthorized Charging or Receipt of Payments Through the Website
No Affiliate, or other person or entity may use the Program Operator’s website, or the Program Operator payment processing system, for private transactions. Any revenue collected through the Program Operator’s website or through the Program Operator payment processing system may become the sole property of the Program Operator.
Specifically, Affiliates may not link to the Program Operator’s website for processing of products or services that are not wholly sponsored by the Program Operator and authorized by the Program Operator and further, may not link to the Program Operator’s website for processing of any products beyond what the Program Operator has identified as salable products for the website and specific Affiliate sales.

Should any Affiliate of the Program Operator or other person or entity construct links that process orders through the Program Operator’s payment processing system, the act will be considered an attack of computing resources with intent to damage the website and therefore treated as a serious computer crime. Violators will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

4. INCOME TAX LIABILITIES
Each Affiliate acts as an independent contractor and as such is responsible for any or all United States, Canadian, state, provincial, or foreign income taxes, fees, and any other tax liabilities that affect or concern the sales of the products or services, in your state or location. It is the Affiliate's sole responsibility, and not the responsibility of the Program Operator, to take any steps necessary to recover
these sums under the any applicable tax code and other applicable laws.

5. PROMOTION RESTRICTIONS

to the Program Operator IP. You acknowledge that the Program Operator IP, as well as all contents of the website, are the sole property of Program Operator or its third party licensors. You agree that you will not, and will not permit others to, take any action inconsistent with such rights in the Program Operator IP. Without limiting the foregoing, the Program Operator trademarks and service marks may
not be used to register internet domain names for any purpose. Affiliate may in no way use or display a Program Operator logo, image, or trademark which may be distasteful, defamatory, misleading or misrepresentative.

Jamie Scrimgeour does not tolerate the sending of unsolicited email (“UCE or SPAM”), including any unsolicited emails which promote, or make reference to Jamie Scrimgeour, or any of their associated companies or websites, vendors, or employees, the websites, products or services. Affiliate expressly agrees to comply with all laws, rules and regulations pertaining to the sending of UCE or SPAM and any
Affiliate who, in the opinion of Jamie Scrimgeour, breaches the foregoing will have their Affiliate status canceled and any outstanding commissions will be forfeited, in addition to any other remedies to Jamie Scrimgeour may be entitled hereunder or in law or equity.

and their employees, contractors, agents, officers and directors, from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs or debt, and expenses (including but not limited to attorney’s fees) arising from Affiliate’s breach of this Section 5.3.

5.4. Paid Search Policies
Bidding at larger pay per click search engines (PPCSE), such as Google, Yahoo, and Bing!, is a great way to drive traffic to your website and send your commission checks even higher. However, Affiliates engaging in paid search marketing campaigns agree to adhere to the following terms and requirements:

5.4.1. Jamie Scrimgeour protects its trademark and does not allow any trademark bidding on any search engine or Paid Placement service or site. This includes, but is not limited to Google, Yahoo, Bing!, Ask and other similar services. Affiliates may not bid on trademarked or registered terms of Jamie Scrimgeour (e.g., Jamie Scrimgeour, The KICK-ASS Stepmom Project, The Exclusive Stepmom Community) or any phrase type, misspelling, variation or combination thereof, including, without limitation, those words listed in the restricted keyword list below. Any Affiliates found to be in violation of the foregoing may be banned from the Jamie Scrimgeour Affiliate Program without prior notice, and on the first occurrence of behavior violating this Section 5.4.

5.4.2. Affiliates may not use the trademark alongside with or in conjunction with the following terms: “percent (%) off”, “sale”, “discount”, or “coupon”. Please refer to section
5.8 on additional prohibited incentives.

domain and/or URL in their ads.
Forbidden Display URL Examples: www.jamiescrimgeour.com

5.4.4. You may not make any misleading or false statements in your campaigns.

services or websites. To avoid such measures, please forward all ad text and proposed
keywords/phrases you wish to bid on to the Affiliate Manager for approval or editing, PRIOR to your submitting it to Paid Search Network providers or Paid Inclusion Search Engines.

5.5. “Cookie-Stuffing” Policy
“Cookie-Stuffing”, forced clicks, or similar activity is not permitted. “Cookie stuffing” is an unlawful strategy of generating affiliate sales. (e.g., Use of cookie stuffing to cause tracking systems to conclude
that a user has clicked through a qualifying affiliate link – and to pay commissions accordingly- even if the user has not actually clicked through any such link). Affiliates found using, employing or receiving this strategy will be immediately revoked and all commissions will be forfeited, in addition to any other
remedies Program Operator may have hereunder or at law or equity.

5.6. Adware & Toolbars
Affiliates are prohibited from transmitting any “interstitials,” “ParasitewareTM,” “Parasitic Marketing,” “Shopping Assistance Application,” “Toolbar Installations and/or Add-Ons,” “Shopping Wallets” or “deceptive pop-ups and/or pop-unders” to customers from the time the customer clicks on a qualifying link to the Jamie Scrimgeour website until the time the customer has exited the Jamie Scrimgeour site
The terms a. “ParasitewareTM” and “Parasitic Marketing” shall mean an application that (a) through accidental or direct intent causes the overwriting of affiliate and non-affiliate tracking cookies through any other means than a customer initiated click on a qualifying link on a web page or email; (b) intercepts searches to redirect traffic through an installed software, thereby causing, pop ups,
commission tracking cookies to be put in place or other commission tracking cookies to be overwritten where a user would under normal circumstances have arrived at the same destination through the results given by the search (search engines being, but not limited to, Google, MSN, Yahoo and similar search or directory engines); (c) set commission tracking cookies through loading of Jamie Scrimgeours
site in IFrames, hidden links and automatic pop ups that open the Jamie Scrimgeour site; (d) targets text on web sites, other than those web sites 100% owned by the application owner, for the purpose of contextual marketing; (e) removes, replaces or blocks the visibility of affiliate banners with any other banners, other than those that are on web sites 100% owned by the owner of the application.

5.7. No Predatory Advertising
All Affiliates in the affiliate program agree to refrain from any type of predatory advertising practices, infringement of Program Operator's or a third party's intellectual property rights, or other practices which violate any applicable law including advertising and consumer protection law, and shall include, but not
be limited to, dynamically replacing the affiliate ID of one affiliate with that of another with the effect of "stealing" the commission away from the Affiliate that earned it, whether this be intentional or not and misuse as described in Section 7 below. Affiliates may not adjust any of the supplied affiliate links to reset cookies or bypass other safeguards in the system. Affiliates understand that engaging in such
practices is grounds for immediate termination and forfeiture of any earned commissions.

5.8. Prohibited Incentives
Affiliates may not offer (i) any incentives in the form of, described as, or resulting in, discounting of any products or services of Program Operator; or (ii) any other incentives in the form of rebates, deposits, cash-back or other types of monetary incentives relating to the products or services of Program
Operator. Such incentives are strictly prohibited and are grounds for immediate termination and forfeiture of any earned commissions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Affiliates may offer bonuses, "bundles" or discounts on products or services ordinarily offered by Affiliates as incentives to purchasers
of Program Operator's products and services. For example, an Affiliate may offer discounts on Affiliate's
training programs in connection with the promotion of Program Operator's products and services.

5.9. Mixing of Products

the Program Operator may only include products that do not target persons 13 years of age or younger.
