Affiliate Registration - Step 1


Please carefully review our affiliate agreement before you proceed. Every affiliate must agree to the terms and conditions set forth in the ShowBIZ Data affiliate agreement.


Affiliate Network Agreement

This Agreement contains the complete terms and conditions that apply to an individual's or entity's participation in the ShowBIZ Data.com Affiliate Network (the "Network"). As used in this Agreement, "we" means ShowBIZ Data, Inc., and "you" means the applicant. "Site" means a World Wide Web site and, depending on the context, refers either to ShowBIZ Data.com's site, located at the URL www.ShowBIZ Data.com, or to any site that you will link to our site (and which you will identify in your Network application).

Enrollment in the Network
To begin the enrollment process, you will submit a complete Network 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 Network. Unsuitable sites include those that:

  • Promote violence
  • Promote discrimination based on race, sex, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation, or age
  • Promote illegal activities
  • Violate intellectual property rights
If we reject your application, you are welcome to reapply to the Program at any time

Links on Your Site
Once you have been notified that your site has been accepted into the Network, you may provide on your site the following links to our site:

Search Box Link: You may provide a ShowBIZ Data.com search box on your site that will permit your site visitors to link directly to a page on our site that contains the results of their search queries. We will provide you with technical specifications describing how to include a ShowBIZ Data.com search box on your site.

General Link to ShowBIZ Data.com Home Page: You may provide a general link on your site to our home page at http://www.ShowBIZ Data.com.

We will provide you with guidelines and graphical artwork to use in linking to our home page. To ensure accurate tracking, reporting, and referral fee accrual, we will provide you with special "tagged" link formats to be used in all links between your site and our site. You must ensure that each of the links between your site and our site properly utilizes such special link formats. Links to our site placed on your site pursuant to this Agreement and which properly utilize such special link formats are referred to as "Special Links." You will earn referral fees only with respect to activity on our site occurring directly through Special Links; we will not be liable resulting from failure by you to use Special Links, including but not limited to any failure that results in any reduction of amounts that would otherwise be paid to you pursuant to this Agreement.

You acknowledge that, by participating in the Affiliate Network and placing any of the above links within your site, ShowBIZ Data.com may receive information from or about visitors to your site or communications between your site and those visitors. Your participation in the ShowBIZ Data.com program constitutes your specific and unconditional consent to and authorization for ShowBIZ Data.com's access to, receipt, storage, use, and disclosure of any and all such information, consistent with the policies and procedures set forth in ShowBIZ Data.com's Privacy Notice.

Order Processing
We will process Product orders placed by customers who follow Special Links from your site to our site. We reserve the right to reject orders that do not comply with any requirements that we may establish periodically. 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 by using Special Links from your site to our site and will make available to you reports summarizing this sales activity. The form, content, and frequency of the reports may vary from time to time in our discretion.

Promotion of our Affiliate Relationship

a. HTTP://Partners.ShowBIZ Data.com: Once enrolled as a Affiliate Site, we'll make available to you (via ShowBIZ Data's Partners.ShowBIZ Data.com site) a variety of graphic and textual links (each of these links sometimes being referred to herein as "Links" or, individually, as a "Link"), which, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, you may display as often and in as many areas on your site as you would like. "Link" means a hyperlink established from within an Affiliate site to the ShowBIZ Data site. The Link will serve to identify your site as a member of our Affiliate Network and will enable an end user of an Affiliate site to access the ShowBIZ Data site.

b. Terms regarding Links: You agree that you'll cooperate fully with us in order to establish and maintain the Links. You also agree that, with regard to ShowBIZ Data, you'll display on your site only those graphic or textual images (indicating a link) that are provided by us, and you'll substitute such images with any new images provided by us from time to time throughout the term of this Agreement. [All Affiliate Sites shall display such graphic and/or textual images prominently in relevant sections of their site.] Each Link connecting users of your site to the pertinent area of our site shall in no way alter the look, feel or functionality of our site. [If you qualify and agree to participate in the Affiliate Network, you shall display the Link(s) prominently throughout your site as you see fit and with our consent.]

Our Responsibilities
We'll be responsible for providing all information necessary to allow you to make appropriate Link(s) from your site to our site. In addition, we will process every new customer registration that follows a special Link from your site, track the number of customers who register from your site, and provide information to you regarding first time registration statistics. We'll be responsible for registration, fulfillment of the promotional offer (if any), cancellations and related customer service.

We have the right in our sole discretion to monitor your site at any time and from time to time to determine if you're in compliance with the terms of this Agreement.

Referral Fee Determination and Payment
During the Term, ShowBIZ Data shall allow the Affiliate to choose between being paid a one-time flat fee of $8.00 or 10% of the monthly membership for the life of the customer, (the "Base Referral Fee") for each new customer who joins ShowBIZ Data's Adult DVD rental program upon linking directly from a Link on the Affiliate's Site to the ShowBIZ Data Site. A "new customer" is defined as a first-time customer who registers for ShowBIZ Data's Adult DVD rental program and provides to ShowBIZ Data his/her name, e-mail address, mailing address, and his/her valid, authorized credit card number that is authorized by ShowBIZ Data. The valid credit card number is necessary to verify account information, secure orders, and prevent fraud. Credit cards are not charged during free trial promotional periods.

ShowBIZ Data shall pay to Affiliate any such Referral Fees within thirty (30) days after the last day of the month during which they were earned. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent that Referral Fees payable to Affiliate for any month total less than US$35, ShowBIZ Data may, in its sole discretion, defer payment of such Referral Fees until such time as such Referral Fees and any Referral Fees and earned during the subsequent period(s) in the aggregate exceed US$35. No interest will accrue on unpaid Referral Fees.

Reports of Referrals & Sales
You'll be given a password and have the ability to enter a password-protected site to receive your referral statistics on a REAL TIME basis.

Policies
Customers who register as a first time ShowBIZ Data customer through the Affiliate Network will be deemed to be customers of ShowBIZ Data.com. Accordingly, all of our rules, policies, and operating procedures concerning customer orders, customer service, and ShowBIZ Data.com orders will apply to those customers. We may change our policies and operating procedures at any time. For example, we could change the offer level at any time. We'll use commercially reasonable efforts to present accurate information.
