The Organized Artist Company Referral Partner (Affiliate) Agreement

The following are the terms and conditions of participating in The Organized Artist Company Affiliate Program. “Affiliate” or “you” refers to yourself, and “The Organized Artist Company” refers to The Organized Artist Company, Inc., a California corporation located at 160 Ash Avenue, #4, Carpinteria, CA 93013 United States.

All Affiliate applications are subject to approval by The Organized Artist Company in its sole discretion.

1. Definitions

“Referral Partner” and “Affiliate” are equivalent and interchangeable terms to describe you and your relationship with The Organized Artist Company. In addition, “Affiliate Link” and “Referral Partner Link” and “Referral Partner Redirect” are interchangeable terms to describe a unique URL designated by The Organized Artist Company, Inc. which allows The Organized Artist Company to identify visitors from your web site as originating from you.

“Expenses” means advertising fees, taxes paid by customers, withholding taxes, discounts, bad debts and other write-offs, a reserve for returns, refunds, and currency exchange fees, if any.

“Product” refers to The Organized Artist Company products, which will include virtual courses, membership programs, and related products that will be more fully described at http://The Organized Artist Company.com . Note: The Organized Artist Company reserves the right to exclude certain categories of Products and/or specific Products from inclusion in the Affiliate Program at its sole discretion.

“Buyer” means an individual or entity that purchases the Product.

2. Payments and Commissions

The Organized Artist Company will pay Affiliate a commission of between 10% and 60% of the total amount collected by The Organized Artist Company, less Expenses, for each referred sale of the Product which is identified by a visitor from Affiliate’s web site using its unique Affiliate Link (“Commission”). Specific commissions are determined on an offer-by-offer basis and are published and shared with Affiliate via email notifications of the offer(s). This amount will also apply to sales made to someone who is brought into The Organized Artist Company’s database via Affiliate’s promotion of a free event and then makes a subsequent purchase of The Organized Artist Company’s Product, provided that the purchaser is uniquely identified by an Affiliate Link in the registration process.

Any revenue generated by custom work or paid support services performed by The Organized Artist Company beyond the normal monthly fees for customers of Affiliate’s sales will be non-commissionable. All such revenues will be retained by The Organized Artist Company.

All Affiliates must have a valid Internal Revenue Service issued Tax ID number on file with The Organized Artist Company in order to release any commission payment. Any Affiliate exempt from filing a United States tax return may provide that information in lieu of a Tax ID number.

All Affiliate Commission payments shall be paid via PayPal using the PayPal associated email address specified by the Affiliate for this purpose, or as otherwise directed in writing. At our sole discretion, we reserve the right to make payments using other standard payment forms. All Commissions earned during a monthly period will be paid out on approximately the last day of the month following the month in which the commissions were earned. The Organized Artist Company reserves the right to delay issuance of Commission payments until the balance owed Affiliate reaches $100.00. Although the Affiliate Program is not limited to the United States, all payments will be made in U.S. dollars.

If a qualifying sale is canceled or refunded, the related Commission will be deducted from the next monthly payment. Affiliate will not be paid for its own orders of the Product.

3. Affiliate Link

You will be issued an “Affiliate Code,” exclusive and unique to your individual Affiliate Account, that will be contained within an “Affiliate Link” or unique URL, for each unique Product produced by The Organized Artist Company which allows The Organized Artist Company to identify visitors from your site as originating from you. These visitors are tracked with this unique URL and sales are recorded with your Affiliate Id. To receive Commissions, you must use the provided Affiliate Link for the Product. The URL may be in various forms such as a banner, image, or text link.

Affiliate is solely responsible for insuring that its Affiliate Link is set up properly to qualify for Commissions.

The Organized Artist Company reserves all rights in and to The Organized Artist Company name and all related trademarks, trade names, logos, taglines, slogans and similar identifying marks (collectively, the “Trademarks”). The Organized Artist Company grants to Affiliate a nonexclusive right to display the Trademarks on Affiliate’s web site and in email in connection with the Affiliate Link.

Before using the Trademarks, Affiliate must have any materials on which the Trademarks appear approved by The Organized Artist Company. Affiliate may not change the proportion, color or font of the Trademarks, or otherwise alter the Trademarks. Affiliate may not display the Trademarks in any manner that implies sponsorship or endorsement by The Organized Artist Company, except of Affiliate’s involvement in the Affiliate Program described in this Agreement. Each Trademark must appear by itself, with reasonable spacing (at least the height of the Trademark) between each side of the Trademark and other graphic or textual elements.

The Trademarks may not be used to register Internet domain names for any purpose. Affiliate may not use the Trademarks to disparage The Organized Artist Company, its products or services, or in a manner which, in The Organized Artist Company’s reasonable judgment, may diminish or otherwise damage The Organized Artist Company’s goodwill in the Trademarks. Affiliate acknowledges that all goodwill generated through Affiliate’s use of the Trademarks will inure to the benefit of The Organized Artist Company and hereby assigns and shall assign to The Organized Artist Company any and all goodwill generated through Affiliate’s use of the Trademarks, without any payment or other consideration of any kind to Affiliate, and Affiliate further agrees to take all actions necessary to effect such assignment. Upon termination of this Agreement, Affiliate shall cease to use the Trademarks.

Affiliate may bid on keywords using their affiliate link EXCEPT affiliate may not bid on the company name, product names, website names, synonyms, or trademarks (registered or not) owned or operated by The Organized Artist Company or our joint ventures or partners. Doing so gives The Organized Artist Company the right to unilaterally end payments to that affiliate for previous, current or future purchases tracked to that affiliate or its sub-affiliates.

4. Confidential Information

“Confidential Information” shall include any information, whether oral, written or observed, regarding the terms of this Agreement or sales of the Product. All Confidential Information shall remain the exclusive property of The Organized Artist Company and shall be immediately returned to The Organized Artist Company upon request, together with all copies thereof. Affiliate shall hold Confidential Information in trust and confidence for The Organized Artist Company and shall not disclose such Confidential Information or use it for any purpose other than to perform as required by this Agreement. Affiliate may not disclose Confidential Information to employees or third parties unless it is necessary for such employees or third parties to know such Confidential Information in order for Affiliate to perform its obligations and duties pursuant to this Agreement.

5. Sending Unsolicited Email or Spam

Affiliate agrees to not send unsolicited mail or SPAM mail to promote any of The Organized Artist Company’s products or services.
