1. AGREEMENT ACCEPTANCE

AGREEMENT ACCEPTANCE

You agree to adhere to the terms and conditions outlined in this agreement. By clicking on the "I accept" button on the Affiliate Application Form you indicate your unconditional acceptance of this Agreement. You will be authorized to become our Affiliate and use various information, graphics, links, and utilities, provided by LBC, on your website only upon your acceptance of this Agreement.

2. AFFILIATE RELATIONSHIP

AFFILIATE RELATIONSHIP

LBC agrees to compensate you, the Affiliate, with a one-time commission, based on the current commission rate, as outlined below, when someone makes a purchase of a product, provided by LBC as a result of clicking on the Affiliate Link on your website, and in accordance with the provisions in this Agreement. For the purpose of this Agreement you and LBC are deemed to be independent contractors. This Agreement does not provide for the creation of any partnership, franchise, joint venture, sales representation, agency, or employment relationship between the parties. This Agreement does not provide you with any authority to make or accept any offers or representations on behalf of LBC, nor to make any statements, whether on your site or otherwise, that would reasonably contradict anything in this Agreement.

3. AFFILIATE LINK

AFFILIATE LINK

Affiliate Link is a hyperlink to the LBC website that is copied from our individual password-protected Affiliate Administration area on our site at www.LeanBusinessClub.com and pasted on your site. This hyperlink is presented in a form of a special HTML code. It will be your responsibility to ensure that this HTML code is not changed in any way, because such a change may cause an improper functioning of the tracking function. LBC, therefore, will not be responsible for any error in crediting you with a sale and commission payment, if this HTML code is altered by you in any way after copying it from our website.

4. PAY-PER-SALE

PAY-PER-SALE

Our Affiliate Program is designed to initiate the commission payment to you, the Affiliate, only after a visitor from your website has purchased a product from LBC online through an Affiliate Link on your website. Such a purchase, however, must be made within the first six months period from the date of the initial visit by the visitor from your website in order for you to be eligible for the commission. Otherwise, you will not be eligible for a commission payment by LBC. If a visitor passes through Affiliate Links from two or more different Affiliates before making a purchase of our products, then the commission will be paid by LBC to the Affiliate whose Affiliate Link was used last.

5.COMMISSION RATE

COMMISSION RATE

The commission per sale is currently 10% (ten percent) of the sales amount (not including any shipping charges and taxes) to the primary affiliate. Commissions will be paid on sales of products developed by LBC only. The commission rates may be changed or discontinued at any time with a thirty-day notification as provided herein.

6. COMMISSION TRACKING

COMMISSION TRACKING

LBC is using a special Affiliate Management Program designed to track the purchases of its products through Affiliate Links placed on the Affiliate's websites. This tracking procedure is accomplished by placing a cookie with your Affiliate ID in your visitor's browser, when your visitor is clicking on the Affiliate Link on your site. In addition, your visitor's IP address will be logged with your Affiliate ID. When your visitor makes the initial visit to our website, or when a purchase is made during the six months period from the date of the first visit, our Affiliate Management Program will initiate the commission payment to you, based on the existence of the cookie or a match of the IP address in the database. You agree to unconditionally accept the sales tracking performed by the Affiliate Management Program selected and used by LBC.

7. CHARGE-BACK

CHARGE-BACK

LBC reserves the right to reverse any commission payment allocated or made to you, the Affiliate, if the purchaser makes a duplicate entry, later returns a product, enters through a non-qualified link, makes an unauthorized payment, or does not make full payment to LBC.

8. PAYMENTS

PAYMENTS

LBC will issue payments of all commissions due to you, the Affiliate, by check in US funds at the end of any month that your accumulated commission totals US $100 or more.

All United States Affiliates, namely: individual, resident, corporation or business, must provide LBC with a completed W-9 Federal Tax form before LBC will issue a check to the Affiliate. LBC agrees to issue a 1099 to Affiliates only if their calendar year payments exceed the maximum payout allowed without a 1099 under Federal tax law (currently US $600, 01/01/2014).
