AFFILIATE AGREEMENT

1) Terms of the Agreement: The term of this Agreement will begin upon our acceptance of your Affiliate 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 notice of termination. You are only eligible to earn referral fees on sales occurring during the term.

2) Enrollment Process: To begin the enrollment process, Affiliate will submit an application via Instant Degrees. Instant Degrees will evaluate Affiliate's application and will notify Affiliate of Affiliate's acceptance or rejection. Instant Degrees may reject Affiliate's application if Instant Degrees determines that Affiliate's site is unsuitable for the Affiliate Program. Reasons for rejection can include, but are not limited to the Affiliate's site promoting violence, discrimination based on race, sex, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation, or age, or the Affiliate's site promoting illegal activities and/or violating intellectual property rights. 

3) Modification: We may modify any of the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, at any time and in our sole discretion, by posting a change notice or a new agreement on this site. Modifications may include, for example, changes in the scope of available referral fees, fee schedules, payment procedures and Program rules. IF ANY MODIFICATION IS UNACCEPTABLE TO YOU, YOUR ONLY RECOURSE IS TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT. YOUR CONTINUED PARTICIPATION IN THE PROGRAM FOLLOWING OUR POSTING OF A CHANGE NOTICE OR NEW AGREEMENT ON OUR SITE WILL CONSTITUTE BINDING ACCEPTANCE OF THE CHANGE.

4) Limitation of Liability: We will not be liable for indirect, special or consequential damages, or any loss of revenue, profits or data, arising in connection with this Agreement or the Program, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Further, our aggregate liability arising with respect to this Agreement and the Program will not exceed the total referral fees paid or payable to you under to this Agreement.

5) Independent Investigation: You acknowledge that you have read this agreement and agree to all its terms and conditions. You understand that we may at any time (directly or indirectly) solicit customer referrals on terms that may differ from those contained in this agreement or operate web sites that are similar to or compete with your website. You have independently evaluated the desirability of participating in the program and are not relying on any representation, guarantee or statement other than as set forth in this agreement.

6) SPAM: Instant Degrees has a zero tolerance policy for SPAM. Any Affiliate accused of SPAMMING will be immediately removed from our affiliate program.  The only recourse you will have to maintain your affiliate relationship is proof of 'opt in' that will undermine the validity of the Spam complaint. Valid SPAM complaints will result in the immediate termination of your account and forfeiture of any commissions owed you.

7) Miscellaneous: This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the home state of Instant Degrees. Any action relating to this Agreement must be brought in the federal or state courts located in the home state of Instant Degrees, and you irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction of such courts. You may not assign this Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. Subject to that restriction, this Agreement will be binding on, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable against the parties and their respective successors and assigns. Our failure to enforce your strict performance of any provision of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of our right to subsequently enforce such provision or any other provision of this Agreement.

8) Linking: We will provide you with textual and graphical links (Link Materials) with which you may link your Web site to our Web site. These Link Materials are available in your affiliate login panel in the 'instructions' area.

You will use reasonable efforts to update to new versions of Link Materials as we make them available.

9) Tracking: Instant Degrees will be solely responsible for tracking sales using special software that communicates with the specially encoded URLs assigned to affiliates. Instant Degrees will endeavor to do its best to ensure accurate tracking of referrals made by affiliates. Affiliates will themselves be solely responsible for ensuring that these special URLs are formatted properly, a necessary prerequisite to accurate tracking of referral sales. Notwithstanding the above statement of responsibility by Instant Degrees to track sales, affiliates hereby acknowledge and accept that the tracking system employed by Instant Degrees is not 100% fail-safe and that there may on occasion be instances of referral sales made that are not credited to an affiliate for any of the following possible reasons: 

Failure by the affiliate to use the proper format of the specially assigned URL in promotions, webpage links, banner ads, and so on Deliberate or accidental actions by customers to circumvent an affiliate's special URL so that our software is unable to accurately track that sale. 

Bugs, glitches or crashes of the tracking software that render it unable to accurately track sales for a period of time. 

Acts of nature that cause irretrievable data loss on the computers and back-up disk media.

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 otherwise, that reasonably would contradict anything in this agreement.
