WEBMASTER AFFILIATE PROGRAM AGREEMENT
This Agreement contains the complete
terms and conditions that apply to your participation
as a member of the Webmaster Treasure Affiliate Program
(the “Program”) operated by Allbright Resources
Inc. or ABR (hereinafter, “Company,” “we”
or “us). As used in this Agreement, “you”
or “your” means the applicant/participating
member.
THIS IS A LEGAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND COMPANY. BY
JOINING THE COMPANY PROGRAM YOU ARE AFFIRMATIVELY STATING
THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS
SET FORTH HEREIN AND ARE AFFIRMATIVELY INDICATING YOUR
ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AFFILIATE PROGRAM AGREEMENT AND YOU
AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS HEREOF. YOU CANNOT BECOME
A MEMBER OF THE AFFILIATE PROGRAM UNLESS YOU HAVE ACCEPTED
EACH AND EVERY TERM HEREOF.
1. Enrollment in this Program.
To begin the enrollment process, you will submit a completed
Program Application through our website http://www.webmastertreasure.com/.
We will evaluate your application in good faith and
will notify you of your acceptance or rejection. We
will reject your application if we determine that you
have provided inaccurate or incomplete signup information,
determine that you are under 18 years of age (21 in
some jurisdictions) or determine that your site is unsuitable
for the Program for any reason, including, but not limited
to, if your site incorporates images or content that
is unlawful, defamatory, obscene, harassing or otherwise
objectionable, such as sites that facilitate illegal
activity or promote violence or promote or assist others
in promoting copyright infringement (collectively, “Content
Restrictions”). Again, you must be at least eighteen
(18) years of age (or older if legal age of majority
is more than 18) to participate in this Program.
2. Utilizing Links on Your Site.
As an affiliate website of COMPANY (“Affiliate
Site”), you may use any form of promotion you
choose, consistent with the terms of this Agreement.
You may use banner advertisements, button links and/or
text links to our site (the “Links”), however,
you cannot employ deceptive language or misleading URL’s
in the Links, and you CANNOT MARKET BY SENDING UNSOLICITED
BULK E-MAILS!!! (As used herein, UBE, or “Spam”
refers to the transmission of unsolicited bulk e-mails,
i.e., not derived from a verifiable opt-in program or
sent absent a prior business relationship with the recipient).
Any activity by you or on your behalf that we determine
or reasonably suspect to be the result of an unsolicited
bulk e-mail program will result in your immediate termination
from the Program and your forfeiting of monies otherwise
due you hereunder. (For further guidelines on this topic,
please see Section 5, below.) Allowable promotional
links may contain COMPANY’s trade names, service
marks, and/or logos for display on your Affiliate Site.
Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, you are
granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license
to access and download such Links and other designated
promotional materials for placement on your Affiliate
Site for the sole and exclusive purpose of promoting
websites owned, operated or controlled by COMPANY. In
utilizing the Links, you agree that you will cooperate
fully with us in order to establish and maintain such
Link or Links. A Link may only be visually modified
with our consent.
3. Commissions.
The Program comes in two forms of commission payout:
(a) payout based on Per Sign-up and (b) payout based
on Recurring Partnership sales.
(a) Per Sign-up:
We will pay you a commission equal to $35.00 per sign-up
coming from your Links up to a maximum of 70 Sign-ups
per pay period. Sign-ups in excess of 70 per pay period
shall receive a commission of $40.00 per Sign-up over
the 70 base.
(b) Recurring Partnership:
We will pay you a commision equal to 60% of every Sign-up
and 60% of every rebill from your Links up to a maximum
of 70 Sign-ups per pay period. Sign-ups in excess of
70 per period shall receive a 70% per Sign-up and 70%
of every rebill.
The Commission Rate is subject to change from time to
time. Note that a commission will only be paid if the
visitor to our site can be tracked by the system from
the time of the Link to the time of the sale. No commission
will be paid if the visitor’s payment to our site
cannot be tracked directly to your site by our system
or if full payment for services is not made to us by
the customer. No commission will be paid for signups
by you or anyone within your organization.
4. Commission Payment.
Commissions due and owing to you under the Program will
be paid to you directly by COMPANY on a weekly basis
for the prior week’s activity. Overseas (i.e.,
non-US or Canada) affiliates are paid on the 10th day
of the month for the preceding month’s activity.
Payments due and owing to you for a pay period of less
than $50.00 will be rolled over into subsequent payment
periods until at least $50.00 is reached, at which time
you will receive payment. Payments will be in the form
of a check in US dollars payable to you, as identified
in your application, and will be mailed to the street
address indicated in your application (we will not mail
to P.O. Boxes!!). You may request and receive payment
via bank wire transfer, provided, you pay the costs
associated with the wire. Payment via wire is available
only for payments of $500 or more for said pay period.
If you dispute the manner or amount of calculation of
your commission with regard to any given payment period,
you must inform COMPANY within sixty (60) days of said
payment, otherwise you are deemed to have waived your
right to challenge said payment calculation.
5. ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY REGARDING BULK E-MAILINGS
We do allow Webmasters to market websites promoted through
this Program through the transmission of bulk e-mails,
however, it is extremely important that any such mass
e-mailings by you conform to our policies. Moreover,
you need to be aware of the fact that many service providers,
such as America Online, Inc. (AOL), have their own standards
and policies when it comes to mass mailings to their
members. By way of example, please familiarize yourself
with AOL’s policy, as most mass mailings will
reach at least some, and potentially many, AOL members
(e.g., --------@aol.com) http://www.aol.com/info/bulkemail.html.
The marketing of websites promoted by this Program is
strictly prohibited if done through the transmission
of unsolicited bulk email. In other words, you must
have a prior business relationship with the e-mail recipient,
including but not limited to having obtained their e-mail
address through a verifiable opt-in procedure. We strongly
encourage you to maintain electronic records of the
manner in which you obtain e-mail addresses for use
in mailings. This is because, if we receive a complaint
from a person who received a promotional e-mailing from
you, you will need to demonstrate to us that such person
did not receive unsolicited bulk e-mail from you.
We also strictly prohibit you from transmitting
e-mail that makes use of or contains invalid or forged
headers, invalid or non-existent domain names or other
means of deceptive addressing (“counterfeit e-mail”).
Do NOT do this.
We also strictly prohibit you from transmitting
e-mail that is relayed from any third party's mail servers
without the permission of that third party, or which
employs similar techniques to hide or obscure the source
of the e-mail. Do NOT do this.
The transmission of unsolicited bulk
e-mail, including the transmission of counterfeit e-mail,
may result in civil and criminal penalties against the
sender under applicable federal and/or state law.
We do NOT authorize the harvesting or collection of
screen names from any ISP service (for example, AOL)
for the purpose of sending unsolicited e-mail, and will
terminate without pay any webmaster determined to have
transmitted bulk emails advertising any websites marketed
through this Program to lists gathered by such methods.
Should we determine, in our sole discretion
that you have violated this AUP, be assured that you
will be terminated immediately, will be ineligible to
sign up for another account, will not be paid for any
traffic or subscriptions generated prior to the date
of termination; and your registration information may
be turned over to complaining parties (including AOL).
HOW TO REPORT UNSOLICITED BULK E-MAIL
If you believe you are the recipient
of unsolicited bulk e-mail from a person or company
advertising websites under this Program, please follow
this procedure:
Please send your UBE complaint to COMPANY through its
Customer Service Representative, Internet Marketing
and Entertainment Group. The best and easiest way to
do this is by forwarding the offending e-mail to abuse@imeg.net.
If you cannot forward the UBE, simply send an e-mail
to abuse@imeg.net. In either case, please include your
name, address, telephone number and any information
you may have about the identity of the person or entity
that sent the UBE to you. You may be able to collect
information about the sender from the e-mail itself,
for instance, by examining the e-mails “header,”
by examining the webpage or by running a whois query
against the webpage domain.
6. Non-Exclusive Limited License and Use of Affiliate
Logos and Trademarks.
You grant us a non-exclusive license to utilize your
names, titles and logos, trademarks (collectively the
“Affiliate Trademarks), to advertise, market,
promote and publicize in any manner our rights hereunder.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, we
shall not be required to so advertise, market, promote
or publicize. You hereby represent and warrant that
you are the sole and exclusive owner of the Affiliate
Trademarks and have the right and power to grant to
us the license to use same in the manner contemplated
herein, and such grant does not or will not (i) breach,
conflict with or constitute a default under any agreement
or other instrument applicable to you or binding upon
you, or (ii) infringe upon any trademark, trade name,
service mark, copyright, or other proprietary right
of any other person or entity. This license shall terminate
upon the effective date of the expiration or termination
of this Agreement.
7. Responsibility for Your Site.
You will be solely responsible for the development,
operation and maintenance of your site and for all materials
that appear on your site. You are not COMPANY’s
agent, and we shall have no responsibility for the development,
operation and maintenance of your site and for all materials
that appear on your site. You shall also be responsible
for ensuring that materials posted on your site do not
violate or infringe upon any laws, including but not
limited to 18 U.S.C. Section 2257, or the rights of

trademarks, privacy, or other personal or proprietary
rights), and ensuring that materials posted on your
site are not libelous or otherwise illegal. You must
have express permission to use another party’s
copyrighted or other proprietary material. We will not
be responsible if you use another party’s copyrighted
or other proprietary material in violation of the law.
In addition to the foregoing, we will immediately terminate
your participation in the Program if we believe you
have engaged in any of the following:

8. Procedure Relating to Alleged or Actual Third Party
Rights Infringement by a Participating Webmaster.
Upon COMPANY's receipt of a proper notice of alleged
copyright, trademark, service mark or publicity rights
violation by Your participating website the COMPANY
will notify You and ask that You provide written documentation
of your right to use the allegedly infringing material
in your website. That documentation must be: (a) a license
of the rights; (b) consent from the rights holder or
their agent; or (c) a written statement from You or
Your attorney (in either email or fax form) explaining
Your claim to have a lawful right, or a legal defense,
to display the allegedly infringing material.
If You do provide COMPANY with appropriate rights documentation
(a, b or c, above), COMPANY will forward that documentation
to the rights holder or their agent, as appropriate.
Should the rights. holder/agent not be satisfied, COMPANY
will provide the rights holder/agent with Your contact
information in order that they may contact You and pursue
any remaining dispute with You directly.
If you fail to provide the COMPANY an appropriate written
response (a, b or c, above), You will have ten (10)
days from the date of COMPANY's original notification
to You to remove the complained of content. Should you
fail to remove said content within ten days, the referring
URL containing the complained of content will be blocked
and any funds otherwise due and payable to You relating
to the referring URL will be forfeited, UNTIL SUCH TIME
AS YOU PROVIDE AN APPROPRIATE WRITTEN RESPONSE. You
will also be placed in an "infringer" database,
and should repeated complaints be made against you for
rights violations, COMPANY has the right to permanently
terminate You from the Traffic Cash Gold program.
9. Term of the Agreements.
The term of this Agreement will begin upon our acceptance
of your Affiliate Program Application and will end when
terminated by either party. Either you or we may terminate

earned prior to the date of termination. If this Agreement
is terminated for any other reason, you are only eligible

related orders are not canceled or returned. We reserve
the right to withhold your final payment for a reasonable
time to ensure that the correct amount is paid.
