Terms & Conditions
By submitting this Affiliate Agreement (this "Agreement"), you agree to the following terms and conditions.
- Application Procedure.
You will not become an affiliate of Shoebuy.com, Inc.
("Shoebuy.com" or "Shoebuy") until Shoebuy has reviewed and approved your Affiliate Application.
Shoebuy reserves the right in its sole discretion to accept or reject any Affiliate Application for
any reason or no reason.
- Commission Schedule and Payment
- You will be paid by check within approximately 30 days of the commencement of each
calendar month for sales generated through your website during the previous calendar month.
- At the beginning of each calendar month Shoebuy will calculate the amount of sales
generated through your website. The sale price for each item will be the price a
customer pays for such item minus exchanges, returns, fraud or charge backs.
- Shoebuy will pay a 16% commission for sales.
- If your aggregate commissions do not exceed $50 USD in any calendar month or series
of calendar months, Shoebuy reserves the right to withhold payment until such time as
your aggregate commissions exceed $50 USD.
- If an item is returned by a customer at any time after your commission for that item has been
paid, Shoebuy will subtract the commission for that item from the first commission payment you
receive following such return. If you earn no subsequent commission payments during the
two calendar quarters following such return, Shoebuy will send you a bill for the amount
of the commission for the returned item, which shall be immediately payable upon receipt.
- Identifying Yourself as an Affiliate
- In the event that your Affiliate Application is approved, you will have access to Shoebuy.com
button(s) (the "Buttons"), which contain Shoebuy.com logos, trademarks and service marks
(the "Marks"). You agree to display one or more of the Buttons on your website.
- The Buttons may be used only as depicted below. You will not modify or alter the
Buttons in any way. Shoebuy may make changes to the Buttons at any time. In the
event of such a change, you shall implement the changed Button promptly after receiving
notice of such change from Shoebuy.
- You will only use and display the Buttons in HTML pages accessible through the World Wide
Web to link your website to the Shoebuy.com website. You will neither frame the Shoebuy.com
website, nor will you modify or alter Shoebuy's content or display. You will configure the
Buttons as a link to the Shoebuy.com Web page specified for each Button. You will not use
any of the Shoebuy.com Buttons as a static image.
- You will not use the Buttons on any website that Shoebuy determines in its sole discretion
diminishes the value of the Marks, including without limitation any website that disparages
Shoebuy or its services, infringes Shoebuy's intellectual property rights or violates any
local, state, federal or international law.
- You agree that Shoebuy has no liability for your use of the Buttons, and you will
reimburse Shoebuy for any damages, costs or expenses Shoebuy may incur related to your use
of the Buttons or for any breach of this Agreement.
- Limited License.
- Shoebuy grants you a nonexclusive, nontransferable, nonsublicensable, revocable right
to use the Marks solely in connection with your display of the Buttons on your website
pursuant to Section 3 of this Agreement.
- You acknowledge and agree that the Marks are solely the property of Shoebuy. You
will not do anything inconsistent with Shoebuy's ownership of the Marks. You will not use the
Marks in any manner other than as expressly authorized in this Agreement, including without
limitation any manner likely to diminish the commercial value of the Marks or imply
endorsement by Shoebuy. All goodwill associated with your use of the Marks shall
inure to Shoebuy. You will not use any logo, mark, name or image likely to cause
confusion with the Marks or permit any third party to use the Marks.
- Shoebuy has the right to terminate this Agreement and revoke the limited license
granted hereby at any time, in its sole discretion, without liability or obligation
to you of any kind. Shoebuy has the right to inspect your website from time to time for
compliance with this Agreement. If Shoebuy notifies you that this Agreement is
terminated and the license granted hereby is revoked, you will promptly remove the
Buttons from your website.
- You acknowledge and agree that you have no rights in the Marks other than as described
herein and that any other use will be considered an infringement of Shoebuy's trademark rights.
- No Joint Venture.
You acknowledge and agree that no joint venture, partnership,
employment or agency relationship exists between you and Shoebuy. You will not make any
representation or warranty regarding, or on behalf of, Shoebuy.
- Term of the Agreement.
The term of this Agreement begins upon Shoebuy's
acceptance of your Affiliate Application. Either party may terminate this Agreement
at any time by providing written notice to the other party hereto.
- Modifications.
Shoebuy may modify the terms of this Agreement at any time by
providing written notice to you on the Shoebuy.com website. Modifications may include
without limitation changes in the commission schedule, payment procedures and program rules.
IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ANY OF THE CHANGES TO THIS AGREEMENT, YOUR ONLY RECOURSE IS TO
TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT. YOUR CONTINUED PARTICIPATION IN THE SHOEBUY.COM AFFILIATE
PROGRAM FOLLOWING THE POSTING OF A CHANGE NOTICE OR A NEW AGREEMENT ON THE SHOEBUY.COM
WEBSITE WILL CONSTITUTE BINDING ACCEPTANCE OF THE CHANGE.
- Limitation of Liabilities.
Shoebuy's aggregate liability arising with respect
to this Agreement will not exceed the total commissions payable to you under this Agreement.

OF THIS AGREEMENT AND AGREE TO ALL THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH HEREIN. YOU
