DatingRev Inc. Partner Program (the "Program"). As used in this Agreement, "we"
means DatingRev Inc., and "you" means the applicant. "Site" means a World Wide
Web site and, depending on the context, refers either to DatingRev Inc.'s site,
located at the URL www.DatingRev.com, or to any site that you will link to
our site (and which you will identify in your Program
application).
Enrollment in the Program
To begin
the enrollment process, you will submit a complete Program application via our
site. 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 (in
our sole discretion) that your site is unsuitable for the
Program.

that:
-promote illegal activities -promote
violence -promote discrimination based on race, sex, religion, nationality,
disability, sexual -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 (in our sole discretion) to be unsuitable for the Program, we may
terminate this Agreement.
Customizing Your
Site
Once you have been notified that your site has been
accepted into the Program, you will have full control over the way your site
header and footer will look, by uploading your own HTML
code.
Text links
We will provide you with
guidelines to use in linking to your DatingRev site. To permit
accurate tracking, reporting, and referral fee accrual, we will provide you with
special linking instructions to be used when linking to your DatingRev site. You
must ensure that each of the links between your site and our site properly
utilizes such special link formats.
Commissions
You will earn 60% of the gross receipts as a referral fee on all NEW or RENEWING
premium memberships sold to any member who joins the DatingRev from your
DatingRev Sites FOR THE LIFE OF THE MEMBER as long as this agreement remains in
force. Gross receipts only include funds collected via a valid credit card, check,
money order or other means and does not include refunds, returns, uncollected items,
fraud or any reimbursements for costs of collection.
If premium memberships are later refunded to the customer or charged back by the customer,
or if a customer's check is returned by the issuing bank, the referral fee will be
deducted from the next payment sent to the Partner. DatingRev reserves the right to
terminate any partner whose site(s) generate an unacceptable number of charge backs
or bad checks, at our discretion.
Payment of Commission
You will be paid commissions on an approximate monthly basis. Approximately thirty
days following the end of each calendar month, we will send you a check or paypal transaction
for the commissions earned, less any taxes that we are required by law to withhold.
However, if the commissions payable to you for any month are less than $50.00
(the "Commission Payment Floor"), we will hold those commissions until the total
amount due is at least equal to the Commission Payment Floor. The Commission Payment
Floor is subject to change at any time or from time to time. You will be notified of
any change in the Commission Payment Floor.

or conversation into any third party chat room. DatingRev at its own discretion

applicable law. You hereby represent, agree, and warrant that you shall only send
commercial e-mail to those who opted-in and consented to receive such commercial e-mail

e-mails sent to such e-mail address, and requests to opt-out by such e-mail address

complaints of spam or unsolicited commercial e-mail, including but not limited to,

to fully and immediately respond to any and all requests or queries we make of you
requesting information and/or written reports of data located in the E-Mail Database.
