In this agreement, the term 'Participant' refers to you (the applicant), and 'sponsoring Website' refers to the Website from which you will link the DatingNearMe1.com site. Wherever the agreement refers to 'you' or 'your', it means 'the Participant'; 'we' or 'our' refers to the DatingNearMe1.com site. A 'Registered User' is defined as a consumer who clicks the Logo Box (banner or text link) on your Web page and is connected to the DatingNearMe1.com site and completes the registration questionnaire.

Privacy of the Affiliate Account
In order to join the Affiliate Program, you will need to provide certain information. All information will be held in strict confidence and will not be provided to any third parties except as required by law.

Referral Fee Percentage
You will earn 50% of gross revenue as a referral fee from new Premium Member subscriptions from members who have been referred via your affiliate link(s). Gross revenue only includes cash collected via valid credit card, cheque, or money order and does not include sales tax charges. In the event of the subscriber renewing their premium membership, you will earn a further 25% for each renewal of the gross revenue of this transaction while your affiliate account is active.

Referral Fee Payment
DatingNearMe1.com will send a referral fee cheque for the applicable referral fee (less any taxes required to be withheld under applicable law) to the Participant within approximately 15 days after the end of each calendar month if the total amount of the referral fee is equal to or greater than $30.00. If the amount owed to you is less than $30.00, then your balance will be carried forward to the next month or until the total sum of your referrals is equal to or greater than $30.00, or upon termination, by you or DatingNearMe1.com, of the program. Payments will be in GBP (£UK), payable at the rate of exchange applicable at the date of each transaction.

Refunds and Charge-backs
All payments are subject to an 8-week lead time to insure against refunds and charge-backs. This is a stipulation of our payment processing company.
