Operating Agreement
I've reviewed the information. Please take me to the next
step.
This is agreement is entered between the Affiliate and Stylish
Bridal (http://www.weddingdressdiscount.com/).
This Agreement contains the complete terms and conditions that
apply to an individual's or entity's participation in the STYLISH
BRIDAL Affiliates Program (the "Program"). As used
in this Agreement, "we" means STYLISH BRIDAL , "you" means
the applicant, and "product" means any item offered for sale
in the STYLISH
BRIDAL website. "Site" means a World Wide website
and, depending on the context, refers either to STYLISH
BRIDAL's site
(http://www.weddingdressdiscount.com/)
or to the site that you will link to our site.
1. Program Enrollment
To begin the enrollment process, you must submit a complete Partner
Program application via our site. All communication for the Affiliate
program will be by email, regardless of whether Affiliate has
his/her own website. Questions should be directed first by email,
followed by phone where necessary. We will notify you of your
acceptance upon receipt of your application. We may reject your
application if we determine (in our sole discretion) that your
site is unsuitable for the Program. Unsuitable sites include
sites that:
-
Promote,
contain, or link to sexually explicit materials
-
Promote
violence
-
Promote
discrimination based on race, sex, religion, nationality,
disability, sexual orientation, or age

Promote
illegal activities

any libelous, defamatory, or disparaging materials
If we reject your application, you are welcome to reapply to the Program at any time.
2. Listing Stylish Bridal (http://www.weddingdressdiscount.com/)
on Your website
You may display as many links to Stylish
Bridal as you would like on your website. If you incorporate
our marks or links into a site that is not subject to the terms
and conditions hereof, this Agreement will be deemed null and
void. You may not alter any banners, logos, or other content
without written permission from Stylish
Bridal. All modified links must be approved by Stylish
Bridal. We reserve the right in our sole discretion to monitor
your site at any time and from time to time to determine if you
are in compliance with the terms of the Agreement. You may not
at any time list prices, policies or terms, availability information,
or similar information on your site.
3. Order Processing
We will process product orders placed by customers who follow
special links from your site to Stylish
Bridal (or include your Affiliate Account number on their
off-line orders). 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 catalog and will send
you reports summarizing this sales activity. The form, content,
and frequency of the reports may vary from time to time in our
discretion. To permit accurate tracking, reporting, and fee accrual,
you must ensure that the links between your site and our site
are properly formatted. If our product pages change and you have
links that direct visitors to those pages, we will redirect your
visitors to an appropriate page automatically.
4. Commissions
We will pay you commission on all product sales to third parties.
For a product sale to generate a commission, the customer must
follow a link from your site to our site, purchase the product
using our automated ordering system, accept delivery of the product
at the shipping destination, and remit full payment to us. Alternatively,
customer may designate your pre-assigned Affiliate Account Number
on direct, fax or Toll Free orders.
5.

You will earn commission based on the sale price of qualifying
products, according to fee schedules to be established by us.
Sale price means the sale price a customer pays for a product
and excludes costs for shipping, handling, gift wrapping, returns,
charge-backs, fraud, exchanges, credit card processing fees,
and taxes. The current fee schedule is as follows:
- 10% commission and 5% commission on all second tier sales commission for every sale made through Stylish Bridal
6. Fee Payment
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, we will
pay you commission on a monthly basis. Approximately 30 days
following the end of the calendar month, we will send you a check
for the commission earned on products that were shipped during
that month, less any taxes that we are required by law to withhold.
If the fees payable to you for any month are less than $25.00,
we will hold those fees until the total amount due is at least
$25.00 or until this Agreement is terminated (if earlier). If
a product that generated a commission is returned by the customer,
we will deduct the corresponding fee from your next monthly payment.
If there is no subsequent payment, we will send you a bill for
the fee.
