We grant you a non-exclusive, revocable right to use our present banners and other such images for which we grant express permission, for the purpose of identifying your site as a program participant and linking to our site. You may not modify the banners or any of our images in any way without our express permission.

We will NOT revoke affiliate status to avoid payment of owed or future commissions. UNPROFESSIONAL CONDUCT ConsumerRaters and its associated companies operate with the strictest codes of professional conduct.

ORDER PROCESSING We will be solely responsible for processing every order for our listing services. Customers will use our secure online ordering process. Order forms, payment processing, shipping, cancellations, and related customer service are our responsibility.

Statements of your sales activity will be available to you in "real-time" with a special URL that we assign to you, accessible 24 hours per day and 7 days per week.

LINKS We will provide you with a unique identifying URL for you to link to. Each sale 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 ConsumerRaters.com, or remove such links, at anytime and without prior approval from us. ** Inactive affiliates will be removed from participation in the Program. Inactive means little or no "click-throughs" via your banner/text links, as monitored via our affiliate program administrative panel, for a period of sixty (60) days. And/or, non-placement of affiliate banners/text ads. We will contact you after thirty (30) days of "inactivity". Efforts will be made to help and encourage your participation in the Program. 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. ConsumerRaters 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, ConsumerRaters' 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 $100 for each of the first 10 Business Listing sales and $200 for each Business Listing purchase after the 10th sale 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 one hundred dollars ($100). Any amount under this will be held in your account until the minimum for pay out is reached (this is ongoing). Payment will be made in the form of a bank check, paid in US dollars. Checks will be mailed no later than the sixteen of the month for sales occurring two months prior. For example, commissions for sales made during May, will be sent out on or before the 16th of July. 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 U.S. 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. Charge backs, if any, will be deducted from your "credited" commissions.
