Terms and Conditions   

This Agreement contains the terms and conditions that apply to an individual's or entity's participation in the AMAS Sports Martial Arts Supplies Affiliates Program (the "Program"). As used in this Agreement, "we" means AMAS Sports Martial Arts Supplies, and "you" means the applicant. "Site" means a World Wide Web site and, depending on the context, refers either to AMAS Sports Martial Arts Supplies's site or to the site that you will link to our site.

1. Enrollment in the Program

To begin the enrollment process, you will submit a complete Program application via our website. 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 but not limited to:

- Promote sexually explicit materials
- Promote discrimination based on race, sex, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation, or age
- Promote illegal activities
- Include "amas" or variations or misspellings thereof in their domain names
- 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.

2. Links on Your Site

Once you have been notified that your site has been accepted into the Program, we will provide you with guidelines and graphical artwork to use in linking to our home page. To permit accurate tracking, reporting, and referral fee accrual, we will provide you with a special "tagged" link to be used in all links between your site and our site. Links to our site placed on your site pursuant to this Agreement and which properly utilize the special link are referred to as "Special Links." You will only earn referral fees with respect to activity on our site occurring directly through Special Links: we will not be liable to you with respect to any failure by you to use Special Links, including to the extent that such failure may result in any reduction of amounts which would otherwise be paid to you pursuant to this Agreement.

3. Order Processing

We will process product orders placed by customers who follow special 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. We will track sales made to customers who purchase products using special links from your site to our site and will make available to you reports summarizing this sales activity. The form, content, and frequency of the reports may vary from time to time at our discretion.

4. Referral Fees

We will pay you (in accordance with Sections 5 and 6 below) referral fees on Product sales to customers. For a Product sale to be eligible to earn a referral fee, the customer must follow a Special Link from your site to our site, select and purchase the Product using our automated ordering system, accept delivery of the Product at the shipping destination, and remit full payment to us.

5. Referral Fee Schedule

You will earn referral fees based on revenues according to referral fee schedules to be established by us. Revenues derived by us from our sales of products, excluding costs for shipping, handling, taxes, service charges, credit card processing fees, and bad debt. The current referral fee schedule is:

5% on our merchandise.

6. Referral Fee Payment

We will pay you referral fees on a monthly basis. Approximately 30 days following the end of each month, we will send you a check for the referral fees earned on our sales of products that were shipped during that month. However, if the referral fees payable to you for any calendar month are less than $50.00, we will hold those referral fees until the total amount due is at least $50.00 or (if earlier) until this Agreement is terminated. If a Product that generated a referral fee is returned by the customer, we will deduct the corresponding referral fee from your monthly payment. We may, at our sole discretion, withhold referral fees on international orders until payment is verified.

7. Policies and Pricing

Customers who buy products through this Program will be deemed to be customers of AMAS Sports Martial Arts Supplies. Accordingly, all AMAS Sports Martial Arts Supplies 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. 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.

8. Identifying Yourself as an Affiliate

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.
