Affiliate Program Terms and Conditions

 
Operating Agreement

This Agreement contains the complete terms and conditions that apply to an individual's or entity's participation in the BuyIreland.com Affiliates Program (the 'Program'). As used in this Agreement, 'we' means Buy Irish Internet Services Ltd. (BuyIreland.com), and 'you' means the applicant. 'Site' means a World Wide Web site located at the URL www.buyireland.com or to the site that you will link to our site (and which you will identify in your Program application).

 

Enrollment in the Program

To begin the enrolment process, you will complete the application form above. We will evaluate your application in good faith and will notify you of your acceptance or rejection. We may reject your application if we determine, at our sole discretion, that your site is unsuitable for the Program. Unsuitable sites include those that:

Promote sexually explicit materials  
  * Promote violence 
  * Promote discrimination based on race, sex, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation, or age 
  * Promote illegal activities 
  * Promote the use of bulk e-mail or spam
  * Otherwise violate intellectual property rights

If we reject your application, you are welcome to reapply to the Program at any time. You should also note that if we accept your application and your site is thereafter determined, at our sole discretion, to be unsuitable for the Program, we may terminate this Agreement.

 

Links on Your Site

You will be provided with a unique affiliate identification code which must be used in all pages that generate sales. We will not be liable to you with respect to any failure in the use of the unique identification code including to the extent that such failure may result in any reduction of amounts that would otherwise be paid to you pursuant to this Agreement.

 

Order Processing

We will process product orders placed by customers who follow the links from your site to our site. We reserve the right to reject orders that do not comply with any requirements that we periodically may establish. 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. The form, content, and frequency of the reports may vary from time to time at our discretion. All of our rules, operating procedures and policies regarding customer orders and accounts will apply to orders we receive through the special link from your sponsoring Web site. We reserve the right to reject any order for any reason, including any order that does not comply with our rules, operating procedures and policies or that violates applicable law.

 

Tracking of Sales

We will track sales made to customers who use the unique Affiliate code from your sponsoring Web site. You will be solely responsible for ensuring that your special link includes your unique Affiliate code and is formatted properly, a necessary prerequisite for us to track such sales. Statements of referral product sales activity are available to you at any time and you will have private access to yours stats, which are updated daily. All statements after 30 days shall be deemed correct unless you give us notice of any error prior to that date. We shall not be responsible for any errors you or your customers make which result in any loss of any tracking information contained in the special link. To protect our customers' privacy, the names or other personal information about specific customers will not be provided to you.

Policy Applies to All Orders: Every customer who buys a product through this program is deemed to be a customer of Buy Irish Internet Services Ltd. You do not have the authority to make or accept any offer of purchase on our behalf. All of our policies regarding customer orders, including product availability, pricing and problem resolution, will apply to these customers. We are not responsible for any representations you make which conflict with our policies.

 

Product Prices and Availability

The price charged for every product sold under this program will be determined by us according to our own pricing policies. Product prices may vary from time to time, including suppliers' price increases and special discounts offered by us on products that may already be listed by you. You may not specify product prices in your descriptions and our policies will always determine the price paid by the customer. Product availability changes frequently and we will endeavour to present our best available information regarding product availability. We cannot guarantee the availability or price of any product.

 

Referral Fees

We will pay you referral fees on certain product sales to third parties. For a product sale to be eligible to earn a referral fee, the customer must follow a link from your site to our site, select and purchase the product using our ordering system, accept delivery of the product at the shipping destination, and remit full payment to us.

 

Referral Fee Schedule

You will earn referral fees based on qualifying revenues according to referral fee schedules to be established by us and based around the minimum and maximum prices for items that are available through the program.

 

Referral Fee Payment

We will pay you referral fees on a quarterly basis. Approximately 7 days following the end of each quarter, we will send you payment for the referral fees earned on our sales of qualifying products that were shipped during that month. However, if the referral fees payable to you for any quarter are less than US$25.00, we will hold those referral fees until the total amount due is at least $25.00 or (if earlier) until this Agreement is terminated. If the customer returns a product that generated a referral fee, we will deduct the corresponding referral fee from your next quarter payment. If there is no subsequent payment, we will send you a bill for the referral fee.

 

Policies and Pricing

Customers who buy products through this Program will be deemed to be customers of Buy Irish Internet Services Ltd. Accordingly, our 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. 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. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to present accurate information, but we cannot guarantee the availability or price of any particular product.

You may not modify the graphic image or text, or any other of our images, in any way. We reserve all of our rights in the graphic image and text, any other images, our trade names and trademarks, and all other intellectual property rights. You agree to follow our Trademark Guidelines, as those guidelines may change from time to time. We may revoke your license at any time by giving you written notice.

 

Responsibility for Your Site
