Terms and Conditions
SexSells! Affiliate Agreement
This Agreement contains the complete terms and conditions that apply to an
individual or entity's participation in Xandria.com's Affiliate Program (the
"Program"). As used in this Agreement, "we" means Xandria, Xandria.com or any
of our representatives, and "you" means the applicant. "Site" means a World
Wide Web site and, depending on the context, refers either to Lawrence Research
Group's site located at the URL www.Xandria.com, or to the site that you will
link to our site (and which you will identify in your Program application).
Application for Joining the Program
To begin the enrollment process, you will submit a complete Program application
via our site. We will evaluate your application and respond promptly with
notification of your acceptance or rejection to the Program. Lawrence Research
Group reserves the right to refuse any application that we deem unacceptable
(at our sole discretion). Unacceptable sites include, but are not limited to,
the following:
* Those that promote discrimination based on race, sex, religion, nationality,
disability, sexual orientation, or age;
* Those that promote illegal activities;
* Those that violate intellectual property rights, including unauthorized use
of the Xandria.com trademarks in third party Internet domain names and html
code;
* Those that promote sexuality in a distasteful or harmful manner: including
but not limited to violence, rape, incest, child pornography, bestiality,
general and sexual exploitation and/or abuse of people or animals. Sites that
feature drug paraphernalia or weapons will also be rejected.
If the content of your site changes while enrolled in the Program, Xandria
reserves the right to re-evaluate and terminate your membership in the Program
at any time, for any reason.
1. Links On Your Site for the Program
We will provide you with guidelines along with buttons, banners and text links
for you to use in linking to our home page. To permit accurate tracking,
reporting, and referral fee accrual, we will provide you with special "tagged"
link formats to be used in all links between your site and our site. You must
ensure that each of the links between your site and our site properly utilizes
such special link formats. Links to our site placed on your site pursuant to
this Agreement and which properly utilize such special link formats are
referred to as "Qualifying links." You will only earn referral commissions with
respect to activity on our site occurring directly through Qualifying links. We
will not be liable to you with respect to any failure by you to use Qualifying
links, including to the extent that such failure may result in any reduction of
amounts, which would otherwise be paid to you pursuant to this Agreement.
2. Product Lists
You may select one or more products to list on your site. You will provide a
special link from each product reference on your site to the corresponding
Xandria.com online catalog entry. Each link will connect directly to a single
item in our online catalog, using a special link format that we give you. You
may add or delete products (and related links) from your site at any time
without our approval, however you must request the correct link format from us.
3. Referral Commissions
We will pay you (in accordance with Sections 4 and 5 below) referral
commissions on certain Product sales to third parties. For a Product sale to be
eligible to earn a referral commission, the customer must follow a Qualifying
link from your site to our site, 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.
Xandria shall have the sole right and responsibility for processing all orders
made by customers. _________(Affiliate) acknowledges that all agreements shall
be between Xandria and the Customer.
4. Referral Commission Schedule
You will earn referral commissions based on qualifying revenues according to
referral commission schedules to be established by us. "Qualifying revenues"
are revenues derived by us from our sales of qualifying product less potential
returns. The current referral commission schedule is:
10% of Qualifying Revenues from sales of all products from affiliates whose
revenue is less than $500, and 20% of Qualifying Revenues from sales of all
products from affiliates whose revenue is greater than $500. After a minimum of
6 months with the Program, the applicant may submit a request to
affiliates@Xandria.com and request a Referral Fee review. If deemed appropriate
the Referral Fee will be renegotiated at this time.
5. Referral Commission Payment
We will pay you referral commissions on a monthly basis. Approximately 10 days
following the end of each month, we will send you a check for the referral
commissions earned on our sales of Qualifying Products that were shipped during
that month, less any taxes that we are required by law to withhold. However, if
the referral commissions payable to you for any calendar month are less than
$100.00, we will hold those referral commissions until the total amount due is
at least $100.00 or (if earlier) until this Agreement is terminated. If the
customer returns a Product that generated a referral commission, we reserve the
right to deduct the corresponding referral commission from your next monthly
payment. If there is no subsequent payment, we will send you a bill for the
referral commission.
6. Policies and Pricing
Customers who buy products through this Program will be deemed to be customers
of Xandria.com. Accordingly, all Xandria.com policies, and operating procedures
concerning customer orders, customer service, and product sales will apply to
those customers.
