TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR THE ADULT PROFIT AFFILIATE PROGRAM
The following shall set forth the Terms and Conditions (the "Agreement") of
THE ADULT PROFIT AFFILIATE PROGRAM (the "Program" or the "Affiliate Program")
operated by Adult Profit, (hereinafter, “AP” or "we" or "us" or “our” ). As
used in this Agreement, "you" or "your" means the applicant/participating affiliate.
Program Eligibility, Application and Enrollment:
You must be over the age of eighteen (18) years in order to enroll and participate
in the Program, or over the age of majority if you reside or conduct business
in a jurisdiction where the age of majority is greater than eighteen (18) years.
Your site(s) may not incorporate images or content that is unlawful, defamatory,
obscene, harassing or otherwise similarly objectionable. Your site(s) may not,
directly or indirectly, facilitate illegal activity, promote violence or engage
in, or promote infringement of the copyright or other intellectual property
rights of others.
Any affiliates that utilize, directly or indirectly, CHILD PORNOGRAPHY or other
unlawful images, content or activities in connection, directly or indirectly,
with the promotion of any of our site(s) will be terminated immediately (without
any compensation) and will be reported to appropriate local, state and/or federal
authorities.
We pride ourselves in the manner in which we conduct our business practices
and we expect no less from our affiliates! Although we are under no obligation
to do so, we may evaluate your application or your method of operation, before
or after you are accepted into the Program. We reserve the right to reject your
application or your continued participation in the Program if we, in our sole
discretion, determine that your site(s) or your method of promotion or participation
in the Program are not consistent with the intent of this Agreement, whether
or not such activity is specifically prohibited by this Agreement. Our determination
to accept your application or to permit your continued participation in the
Program shall not be construed by you (or any third party) as a determination
by us that you have met our affiliate eligibility requirements. Compliance with
these requirements is your responsibility!
PROMOTION RULES:
You may use any legal and ethical method(s) of promotion you choose, consistent
with the terms of this Agreement. You may not employ deceptive language or misleading
URL's in our promotional links. You may use banner advertisements, button links
and/or text links to our site(s). Subject to the terms and conditions hereof,
you are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access
and download promotional links and other designated promotional materials from
our "Webmaster Admin Area" (the "Member Area"), which promotional
links may contain our trade names, service marks, and/or logos for display on
your affiliate site(s) for the sole and exclusive purpose of promoting websites
owned, operated or controlled by us. In utilizing such promotional links, you
agree that you will cooperate fully with us in order to establish and maintain
such link(s). No promotional link may be modified without our prior written
consent.
The use of deceptive or illegal practice(s) in promoting our site(s) is strictly
prohibited. You may not promote any of our pay site(s) in a manner that is intended
to generate payouts to you without providing us with the commercial benefits
of your promotion. Because it is not possible to specifically list every possible
method of engaging in deceptive, illegal or commercially unethical conduct that
are prohibited by the Agreement, you acknowledge and agree that we reserve the
right, in our sole discretion, to determine if your promotion of any of our
site(s) is inconsistent with the intent of this Agreement. The following are
only examples of the type of promotional activities that you may not engage
in and which will result in your immediate termination (without payment of any
amounts you may believe are due you): 1) you may not require a sign-up to any
of our pay sites as a condition of accessing any site(s) or receiving any other
consideration; 2) you may not engage in any promotion which is intended to create
a sign-up to any of our site(s) which is not completely voluntary and made with
a good faith intention to become a bona fide full pay member to our site(s);
3) you may not utilize personal ads (such as the personals appearing on Yahoo!
or AOL, for example); 4) you may not use "warez, torrent, p2p network, file
sharing" sites to promote our site(s); 5) you may not promote our site(s) via
a non-adult free host (such as Geocities or Angelfire, for example); 6) you
may not promote our site(s) with the explicit or implicit message or suggestion
that the potential member or subscriber to any of our site(s) take advantage
of introductory rates or offers without any realistic intention of continuing
as a paying member or that the potential member or subscriber join our pay sites
without any realistic intention of continuing as a member on an ongoing basis.
NO E-MAIL PROMOTIONS:
We engage in complete NO SPAM and NO EMAIL policy and we don't allow any kind
of email promotion of Adult Profit sites and network. You not promote us through
the transmission of individual and/or bulk e-mail at any time, any kind of emailing
will be considered breach of rules.
PAYOUT
We will pay you commissions for all valid, as defined in this Agreement, confirmed
membership sign-ups (“sign-ups”) that you send us, as follows:
For a "free site" sign-up you will receive a sign-up commission of $15.00 per
sign-up coming from our links.
For sign-ups under the Revshare program you will receive 50% of all income from
trial sign-ups, rebills and recurring rebills for as long as the surfer remains
a member of our sites. We will pay the processor fees from our share so as example
on $39,95 sign-up will earn you $19,98 + 50% of possible rebills.
For sign-ups under the Pay Per Sign-up program you will receive $30 for every
full sign-up to any of our sites enrolled in the Pay Per Sign-up program.
For the Referrer program you will receive 10% of all income made by webmasters
referred by you.
English-only sign-up requirements.
We pay commissions to our affiliates for sign-ups to our "free sites" in order
to obtain English literate members. This is not intended to be discriminatory
or derogatory to non-English surfers but rather because our sites, newsletters
and solicitations are directed to surfers who are fluent in the English language.
Therefore all "free site" programs that our affiliates promote must be from
English language sites. This means that the Site must TRULY be in the English
language for English fluent visitors or members. Sites that are created by,
or affiliated with, non-English site(s) for the primary purpose of circumventing
this rule (or similar rules of other Webmaster compensation programs) do not
qualify to receive commissions from us.
ACCEPTED COUNTRIES
We accept webmasters from all countries! We at Adult Profit believe in equality
of all webmasters worldwide, for us webmaster is webmaster no matter from what
country he is from! Do security reasons we reserve right to reject webmaster
application or to request additional documentation for verification purposes
if we determine that the webmaster application in question can be marked as
high risk or we find information's submitted not correct or unverifiable.
Mandatory Conversion Ratios or Chargebacks
Affiliates who have chargebacks of two (2%) percent or greater, or credit backs
("refunds") of five (5%) percent or greater may be terminated from
the Program. Credit back is defined as customers who cancel their memberships
and receive a credit. Chargeback is defined as a refund of payment for customers
after the credit card has been processed. We reserve the right to terminate
you, with payment for amounts due you prior to termination (provided you have
complied with the terms of this Agreement) if your trial referrals do not convert
to full membership in ratios that are acceptable to us. Similarly, we do not
pass on to you the substantial cost we must incur for “chargebacks”
or “credit backs”. We will apply, as financially necessary, an imputed
deduction from commissions or referral fees due you for traffic that you send
us that does not visit our site(s) after sign-up, obtains a credit or chargeback
without basis, or does not subscribe to a trial membership with a good-faith
intention to convert to full membership upon confirmation that the site(s) contain
the represented content.
All Commission and Bonus rates are subject to change from time to time, upon
email notice to you and/or notice posted on this site.
COMMISSION PAYMENT DATES
Commission payouts are made, ON TIME, as follows:
Sign-Up Commissions are paid on a monthly basis ("Pay Period"). Commissions
earned during any pay period will be paid 1 week after the last day of such
Pay Period. For example payouts earned during May 1st, 2007 - May 31st, 2007
will be paid out on June 7th, 2007. If the total amount due you at the end of
any Pay Period (for all of our programs) is not equal to or greater than at
least $50.00 (or the amount you have specified as your minimum payout), the
amount due you will roll over until you are due $50.00 (or the amount you have
specified as your minimum payout).
Payment dispute
If you dispute or have questions regarding the manner or amount of calculation
of your commission with regard to any given payment period, you must inform
us within sixty (60) days of said payment, otherwise you are deemed to have
waived your right to challenge said payment calculation.
We may modify any of the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, at
any time and in our sole discretion.

and that is offered by the Program as supported payment methods. Should you

Period. You may request and receive payment via bank Wire Transfer, Pay Pal,

payment method. Payment via wire is available only for payments of $500 or greater.
