In order for us to accurately keep track of guest visits from your site to ours, you must use the HTML code that we provide. LINKS We will provide you with a unique identifying URL for you to link to. Each sale or referral that is generated from this URL will be attributed to you. You will have access to your own private section to check your stats in Real Time. Your links to the unique URL can be text links or banner links, or a combination of the two, at your sole discretion. If you choose banner links, you must use our banners. We will provide you with a URL of all our banners, from which you can freely choose. You may add as many links to Arawaza, or remove such links, at anytime and without prior approval from us. We will provide you with instructions on how to properly format the links. You are responsible for ensuring the links are formatted correctly. This will ensure accurate tracking of sales for credit to your account. Every effort will be made to ensure that our site is functional and available for customers referred to our site through your "affiliate link". We have NO responsibilities with regard to your site. Arawaza shall have no liability for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages or any loss of revenue or profits arising under or with respect to this agreement or the program. In addition, Arawaza's aggregate liability arising under or with respect to this agreement or the program shall in no event exceed total referral fees paid or payable to the affiliate under this agreement. COMMISSION AND PAYMENT We will pay you 10% of any and all purchases made by a customer referred by your "affiliate link" through our banners or text links (Not including any applicable sales tax and shipping charge). Minimum amount for payment is $150USD. Any amount under this will be held in your account until the minimum for pay out is reached. Payment will be made within the first ten days of every month to affiliates who have accumulated a minimum of $150USD. Payment will be made in the form of a bank check from us, paid in US dollars for USA and CAN dollars for Canada (the $150USD will be converted in Canadian founds automatically for our Canadian Affiliates). Affiliates from other Countries who have accumulated $150USD or more in commissions may opt to be paid via international money order. We can also pay with Paypal. Checks will be mailed within ten days of the first of the month for the prior month's sales. For example, commissions for sales made during May will be sent out on or before the 10th of June. We are not responsible for paying interest to Affiliates for accrued but not yet delivered Commission payments. Payment will be made out to you and mailed, via postal mail, to the address you provide at sign-up. (you will be able to modify your address and contact info via your private affiliate area) Any "refunds" to a customer, referred through your "affiliate link", will be deducted from your "credited" commission/s. (The majority of customers gladly accept replacement of products.) Charge backs (None to date!), if any, will be deducted from your "credited" commissions. IMPORTANT FRAUDS Please be aware that because of the possibility of credit card fraud on the Internet, suspicious orders are automatically cancelled by Arawaza. We absolutely do not take any chances with these orders.
For example:
In some cases people from a certain country can order with a stolen credit card giving us all pertinent details regarding the card. In these cases the billing address is the card owner's address and the shipping address belongs to the person ordering. We contact the card owner to confirm if the order can be charged to his card. In most cases it is declined and the order must be cancelled.
As a result these orders will not be processed and there is automatically no 10% referral commission forwarded to the affiliates from which they (the orders) originated. It should also be noted that orders from certain countries are not accepted by Arawaza.
Some orders can be cancelled by the client if the items ordered are not in stock. The commission will not be forwarded in these instances as well.
Our objective is to develop a long standing business relationship with our affiliates and assure you of our up most honesty and integrity in these matters. TERM OF THE AGREEMENT The term of this agreement will begin upon our acceptance of your affiliate program application and your placement of our banner or textual link on your site and will end when terminated by either party.
