1. Enrollment in this Program. To begin the enrollment process, you will submit a completed Program Application through our website: http://www.bigdoggie.net. In order to enroll and participate in the Program, you must be over the age of eighteen (18) years, or over the age of majority if you reside and/or conduct business in states, provinces or countries where the age of majority is greater than eighteen (18) years. You may not participate in the Program in any way if you are not of the age of majority in the state, province or country where you reside and/or conduct business. 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 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").

2. Utilizing Links on Your Site. As the owner/operator of 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 SPAM. Any activity by you or on your behalf that we determine or reasonably suspect to be the result of an unsolicited e-mail program will result in your immediate termination from the Program and your forfeiting of monies otherwise due you hereunder. 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 makes commission payouts based on signups.

   We will pay you a commission equal to $8.00 per sign-up for monthly memberships, $19.00 per sign-up for quarterly memberships and $40.00 per sign-up for annual memberships coming from your Links using your affiliate link code.

   The following additional commissions are also paid to you on a recurring basis each time the membership is renewed and for as long as a signup referred by you remains active

   $2.00 per sign-up for monthly memberships, $19.00 per sign-up for quarterly memberships and $40.00 per sign-up for annual memberships

   The Commission Rate is subject to change from time to time, upon e-mail notice to you and commencing 30-days following such notice. 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 the program cannot be tracked directly to your site by our system or if full payment for services is not made to us by the customer.

   A minimum commission of $50.00 must be earned during a pay-period to qualify for a commission check. If you have not earned that much during the period, your account balance will roll over to the next period and continue to do so until you have earned the $50.00 minimum.

   No commission will be paid for sign-ups generated by you, your family, friends or anyone within your organization. BigDoggie.net has implemented a number of control systems to detect signups that are generated fraudulently. If you cheat - you won't get paid - guaranteed.

4. Commission Payment. Checks are mailed out on the 5th and 20th of every month (or the next weekday should the 5th or 20th fall on a weekend or holiday) The payment on the 5th covers the commissions earned the 1st through the 15th of the previous month - the payment on the 20th covers commissions earned from 16th through the 31st. Your application for an account in the BigDoggie.net affiliate program must include a verifiable street address. We reserve the right not to send commission checks to post office boxes.

5. Insufficient Activity. If, as a participating member, you fail to generate any signups to the Program for any consecutive sixty (60) day period, we reserve the right to terminate your membership in the Program. If your membership is terminated for this reason, you may apply for a new account.
