-
Use the name “Tdooz,” or any variation thereof, in any manner not expressly authorized by this Agreement;

-
Without limiting Section 4.1, Affiliate shall not upload, post, submit, or otherwise distribute or facilitate distribution of any improper or unlawful content or communications in connection with a Link, Code or this Agreement, including but not limited to content that:
-
Infringes any patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright, right of publicity, or other right of any third party;
-
Is unlawful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, libelous, deceptive, fraudulent, invasive of another’s privacy, tortious, obscene, pornographic, offensive, or profane;
-
Contains software viruses or any other computer codes, files, or programs that are designed or intended to disrupt, damage, limit, or interfere with the proper function of any software, hardware, or telecommunications equipment or to damage or obtain unauthorized access to any system, data, password, or other information of Tdooz or any third party; or
-
Violates the privacy of any third party.
-
Tdooz has the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to monitor Affiliate’s Site at any time to determine whether Affiliate is in compliance with this Section 4 and the other the terms of this Agreement, and Affiliate agrees to provide Tdooz with unrestricted access to Affiliate’s Site for that purpose.
-
Transactions.
Tdooz will process transactions placed on the Tdooz Site by customers using Affiliate’s Code. Tdooz reserves the right to reject transactions that do not comply with any reasonable requirements that Tdooz may establish. Tdooz will be responsible for all aspects of processing and fulfilling such transactions.
-
Qualified Transactions.
-
Tdooz will pay Commissions (as defined below) to Affiliate for all sales of Tdooz products through Qualified Transactions. A “Qualifying Transactions” means one or more transactions whereby a customer (i) uses Affiliate’s Code to create an account; (ii) purchases one or more services in the aggregate amount of five-hundred dollars ($500) or greater during the term of this Agreement; (iii) makes full payment to Tdooz for such services, and (iv) does not cancel the purchase, receive a refund, or otherwise stop payment (e.g., chargeback) on or before the Earning Date (defined below).
-
Tdooz will not pay Commissions for transactions that Tdooz determines, in its sole discretion, are fraudulent or otherwise in violation of this Agreement or any other policies of Tdooz. For avoidance of doubt, Affiliate’s right to receive Commissions is contingent on Tdooz’s receipt of payment, and Tdooz will not pay Commissions for transactions that are canceled or refunded, or for which payment is otherwise not received.
-
Transactions shall not be Qualifying Transactions if they are made by (a) Affiliate, or (b) any party that has previously purchased services through the Platform, or (c) any party that has previously purchased services through the Platform using a Code from a different affiliate.
-
Affiliate acknowledges that Tdooz may not be able to track a customer’s use of Affiliate’s Code as a result of such customer’s device and browser privacy settings, including but not limited to settings that block cookies and similar tracking technologies. Tdooz will not pay or be liable to Affiliate for Commissions arising out of sales that Tdooz is unable to track as a result of such settings.
-
Commissions.
-
Tdooz will pay to Affiliate a one-time commission (“Commission”) in the amount of fifty dollars ($50) for each customer that purchases services from the Platform resulting in Qualifying Transactions. For purposes of clarity, in no event will Affiliate be paid more than the one-time Commission of fifty dollars ($50) with respect to any customer of Tdooz using Affiliate’s Code regardless of the total amount of services purchased by such customer.
-
Commissions shall be deemed earned on the last day of the month that directly follows the month in which the requirements for Qualifying Transactions have been satisfied (“Earning Date”). On the Earning Date, Tdooz will pay Affiliate all Commissions earned by Affiliate in the preceding month, less any taxes that Tdooz is required by law to withhold, using the payment information provided by Affiliate. All Commissions will be paid in US dollars.
-
TDOOZ DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT AFFILIATE WILL EARN ANY AMOUNT OF COMMISSIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.
-
Policies and Pricing.
Customers that use Affiliate’s Code or that are otherwise referred by Affiliate will be deemed to be customers of Tdooz. Accordingly, all rules, policies, and operating procedures implemented by Tdooz concerning customer orders, customer service, and product sales will apply to such customers with respect to their transactions with Tdooz. Tdooz may change its policies and operating procedures at any time consistent with applicable laws. Since prices and availability of Tdooz services may vary from time to time, Affiliate may not display Tdooz price information on Affiliate’s Site. Tdooz will use commercially reasonable efforts to present current and accurate information, but cannot guarantee the availability or price of any particular services.
-

Tdooz may monitor, record, use, and disclose information about Affiliate’s Site, users of Affiliate’s Site, and customers referred by Affiliate that Tdooz obtains in connection with Affiliate’s display and use of Codes.
-

Affiliate shall not engage in any promotions which imply any relationship or affiliation between the Parties including, but not limited to, press releases, marketing materials, offline print advertising or marketing campaigns, media kits, screen shots, graphics altered for co-branding or any other format or media.
-
Without limiting Section 9.2, Affiliate shall not represent, directly or indirectly, that Tdooz endorses Affiliate, Affiliate’s site, or any media content created or distributed by Affiliate.
-

As between Affiliate and Tdooz, Tdooz shall own all right, title and interest, including all Intellectual Property Rights, in and to the Tdooz Site, Tdooz products, Tdooz Trademarks, and all Codes. For the purposes of this Agreement “Intellectual Property Rights” means copyright rights, trademark rights, patent rights, trade secrets, moral rights, right of publicity, authors’ rights, contract and licensing rights, goodwill and all other intellectual property rights as may exist now and/or hereafter come into existence and all renewals and extensions thereof, regardless of whether such rights arise under the laws of the United States or any other state, country, or jurisdiction.
