Natural Care Products Affiliate Programme

Terms and Conditions

This Agreement contains the complete terms and conditions that apply to an individual's or entity's participation in the Affiliate Programme (the "Programme"). As used in this Agreement, "we", "us" or "ours" means Natural Care Products, and "you", "your" or "yours" means the participating individual or entity. "Site" means a World Wide Web site and, depending on the context, refers either to the Natural Care Products site, located at the URL www.natural-care-products.co.uk, or to each site that you will link to our site. Your failure to comply with any provision of this Agreement shall be grounds for Natural Care Products to terminate this Agreement immediately and for your forfeiture of any commissions.

In consideration of the covenants and agreements herein, the sufficiency of which is acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

         i.            Enrollment. If accepted as a participant in the Programme, you will be granted (subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement) the non-exclusive right to earn commissions on certain sales generated by Natural Care Products from customers voluntarily referred to our site from your site by means of an Internet hypertext transfer link placed on your site. To become a participant in the Programme, you will first have to submit a complete Affiliate Programme Application via our site. We may reject your application if we determine, in our sole discretion, that your site or business is not suitable for the Programme for any reason. If we reject your application, then none of the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall apply to you, except for Sections i and xiii.

       ii.            Links:

Setting Up Banner Links. During the term of this Agreement, we will make available to you on a non-exclusive basis, banner or text links. Such Banner Links may contain a particular Natural Care Products logo, product, words identifying Natural Care Products and/or text.

Using Banners or text links. You may display the banners or text links on your site, provided you abide by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. In using the banners or text links, you agree to cooperate fully with us in order to establish and maintain such banners or text links. All Affiliate sites shall display such banners or text links prominently on relevant portions of the sites, with our consent. You shall use only those banners or text links that we provide to you, or those approved in writing by us, and to substitute those banners or text links with any new banners or text links that we may provide from time to time during the term of this Agreement. You shall comply with all guidelines provided by us with respect to the graphic reproduction, appearance and "look and feel" of the banners or text links and all references to us.

No Spam or Forced Linking. You shall not send unsolicited commercial email ("spam") with a Link, our URL or any other reference to Natural Care Products or its products or services referenced in the email. You also shall not force visitors to our site via any mechanism which acts as an automatic transport, such as "meta refresh" or "forced exit" scripts. This Agreement shall terminate immediately and automatically if you direct traffic to our site through the use of spam or any automatic transport mechanism or otherwise use a banner in an unauthorized fashion, and in such case all commissions earned shall be immediately and automatically forfeited.

      iii.            Order Processing. We will be responsible for processing all orders placed by customers who follow the Links from your site to our site. All aspects of order processing and fulfillment, including cancellations and payment processing will be our sole responsibility. You shall not misrepresent Natural Care Products or otherwise make any claims, representations or warranties in connection with our products or services, and shall have no authority to, and shall not, bind us to any obligations.

     iv.            Commissions.

Calculation. We will pay you a commission equal to twelve and a half percent (20%) of Net Sales (pre-VAT) for all purchases made by customers within ninety (30) days after the customer followed a Link to our site from your site, for which we have received full, cleared payment. A commission will only be paid if the visitor to our site is tracked by our system from the time of the link to the time of the sale.

Earning Commissions. For a sale to generate a commission, the customer must: (a) follow a banner or text link from your site to our site or send traffic through a re-direct from your site; (b) purchase the product in question using our online ordering system within sixty (30) days after first following the Link to our site; and (c) remit full payment to us. You shall have no claims to commission or compensation on business secured by or through other persons or entities. Also, we will not issue a commission payment to you in cash if you refer yourself from a Link that is operated or controlled by your site. However, we will allow you to take your commission as a credit towards further product purchases.

Payment. We will pay your commission within approximately sixty (30) days following the date of the order. We will send you a cheque or a paypal payment for the commission earned on products sold and paid for during the preceding months. If you wish, you may take your payment in product. If a product sale that generated commission is cancelled by the customer or discounted, or subject to credit card fraud, we will deduct the corresponding commission from your next monthly payment. Should you request commission via paypal Natural Care Products will not make allowances for any charges that are made to you for accepting the payment. All payments shall be made in GBP. Natural Care Products shall not be responsible for exchange rate fluctuations or currency conversion costs.

       v.            Ownership.

You acknowledge and agree that all right, title and interest in all Natural Care Products logos, trade names and services, including those incorporated in Links, are the sole and exclusive property of Natural Care Products and may not be used without our prior written consent.
