We will be responsible for all aspects of order processing and fulfillment. Among other things, we will prepare order forms; process payments, cancellations, and returns; and handle customer service. We will track sales made to Customers who purchase products using Links from your site to our Site and will provide you with access to reports summarizing this sales activity.

We WILL NOT be responsible for tracking and reporting sales that were not made through a Link formatted to our specifications.

4. REFERRAL FEES


We will pay you Referral Fees on certain product sales to certain Customers as defined below. For a product sale to generate a Referral Fee, a Customer must follow a Link (in the format specified by us) from your Site to the Point and Click Appliance Repair Site, purchase one or more of the Eligible Products using our automated ordering system, and remit full credit card approved payment to Point and Click Appliance Repair. We will not, however, pay Referral or other fees on any products that are subsequently purchased or added to a Customer's Shopping Cart after the Customer has reentered the Point and Click Appliance Repair Site (other than through a Link from your Site), even if the customer previously followed a Link from your Site to our Site. Products that are entitled to earn Referral Fees under the rules set forth above are hereinafter referred to as "Eligible Products."

You will earn Referral Fees based on the Sale Price of Eligible Products (as defined above), according to fee schedules to be established by us (and which we retain the absolute right to modify at any time) "Sale Price" means the sale price listed in our online catalog for each product that we sell. The Sales Price shall not include costs for shipping, handling, gift-wrapping (where and when applicable), and taxes.

5. FEE AMOUNT


Referral fees earned pursuant to Section 4 shall equal ten percent (10%) of the Sale Price of the respective Eligible Products sold in accordance with the provisions and procedures of this Agreement ("Referral Fees"). In our sole discretion, we may establish other special commission rates with respect to certain promotions.

6. FEE SCHEDULE


We will pay you Referral Fees on a calendar quarterly basis. Within thirty (30) days following the end of each calendar quarter, we will send you a check for the Referral Fees earned on Eligible Products that were shipped during that month, less any taxes that we are required by law to withhold. However, if the fees payable to you for any calendar quarter are less than twenty five dollars ($25), we may withhold those fees until the total amount due is at least twenty five dollars ($25) or (if earlier) until this Agreement is terminated. If an Eligible Product that generated a Referral Fee is returned or canceled, we will deduct the corresponding fee from your next quarterly payment. If there is no subsequent payment, we will send you an invoice due in ten (10) days for the canceled Referral Fee.

7. POLICIES AND PRICING


Third parties who buy products through this Program will be deemed to be customers of Point and Click Appliance Repair ("Customers"). Accordingly all Point and Click Appliance Repair rules, policies, and operating procedures concerning customer orders, customer service, and product sales will apply to those Customers. We may change our policies and operating procedures at any time and for any reason. For example, we will determine the prices to be charged for products sold under this Program in accordance with our own pricing policies. Product prices and availability may vary from time to time. Because price changes may affect Products that you already have listed on your Site, you MAY NOT include price information in your product descriptions or otherwise on your Site.
