WorldStart Affiliate Program

Below are our current affiliate program terms and conditions. We reserve the right to change these conditions at any time. If you are accepted into the program, you will be notified by e-mail of any changes.

Terms & Conditions

1. Term of the Agreements: 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. This program is currently offered to US based web sites. We hope to offer this internationally soon.

3. You must be at least 18 years of age to participate

4. We reserve the right to reject any site for any reason. We will not accept sites that contain what we deem to be inappropriate material (pornography, pirated software, sites that promote racial hatred, etc).

5. We reserve the right to terminate any account at any time for any reason. If your account is terminated due to fraudulent sales you will not be compensated for any unpaid sales.

6. Your website and your newsletters are under your control and we are not responsible for any problems that arise with them.

7. We are not responsible for any unforeseen problems with either our web site, sales processing service, or affiliate program.

8. We will provide you with both ad copy and banners. Although you may modify these items, you agree not to mislead customers with false advertisements. Any such activity is grounds for dismissal from our program and cause for forfeit of any commissions. If you need to modify any of our ads, it's a good idea to have us approve it first. We take our customers very seriously and will not tolerate any misleading information.

9. We generally send out commission checks by the 7th of the month for the prior month's sales. We are not responsible for any mail delays or for any unforeseen circumstances that cause a delay in payment.

Note that we only send a check if we owe you over $25.00, otherwise we add the balance we owe you to the next month's commission. As soon as you accumulate $25.00+, we send you a check on the next payment cycle.

10. We will pay you 15% commission on all sales (after tax and international shipping if applicable). We will also pay you 15% commission on the net sales of any tier 2 or tier 3 affiliate that you or the affiliate(s) that joins directly under you sign up.

11. We are only liable to you for the amount of commission we owe you. You agree not to hold us liable for any amount over said commissions under any circumstance.

12. 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.

13. 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.
