various buttons, banners, and/or text links from one or more places in Affiliate Site at
all times during this Agreement. DmiSoftware.com will provide all banners, buttons, text
and artwork ("Creative") and will specify the corresponding URL Links

Creative supplied by DmiSoftware.com to Affiliate for use in Affiliate Site may include
banner advertisements, buttons, Links to the DmiSoftware.com Site and/or text links to
DmiSoftware.com Site, containing one or more logos and/or words identifying
DmiSoftware.com and related products, which are subject to the terms and conditions
hereof. In utilizing the Links, Affiliate agrees to cooperate fully with DmiSoftware.com
in order to establish and maintain such Links. Affiliate shall display such graphic images
or text prominently throughout Affiliate Site as Affiliate sees fit. A Link may only be
modified and/or expanded with DmiSoftware.com's written consent. Each Link connecting
users of Affiliate Site to DmiSoftware.com Site will in no way alter the look, feel or
functionality of the DmiSoftware.com Site. DmiSoftware.com has the right in its sole
discretion to monitor Affiliate Site at any time and from time to time to determine if
Affiliate is in compliance with the terms of this Agreement.
3. Order Processing
DmiSoftware.com will process Orders placed by customers who follow the Links from
Affiliate Site to DmiSoftware.com Site. DmiSoftware.com reserves the right to reject
Orders that do not comply with any requirements that DmiSoftware.com periodically may
establish. DmiSoftware.com is responsible for all aspects of order processing. Among other
things, DmiSoftware.com will prepare order forms; process Orders; and handle customer
service.
DmiSoftware.com will track traffic and Affiliate Fee data resulting from individuals using
Links from Affiliate Site to DmiSoftware.com Site and will make available to Affiliate
monthly unaudited reports. The form, content, and frequency of the reports may vary from
time to time in DmiSoftware.com's sole discretion. To permit accurate tracking, reporting,
and fee accrual, Affiliate must ensure that the Links between Affiliate Site and
DmiSoftware.com Site are properly formatted per specifications provided by
DmiSoftware.com.
4. Affiliate Fee Payment
DmiSoftware.com will pay Affiliate an Affiliate Fee ("Affiliate Fee") which will
be equal to 40 Percent of Revenue generated by Offers ordered by traffic coming to
DmiSoftware.com Site from Affiliate Site using a DmiSoftware.com supplied Link and order
the Offers using DmiSoftware.com's ordering system ("Orders"). No Affiliate Fee
shall be paid on Orders from customers not obviously referred by Affiliate Site.
The Percentage of Revenue and Percentage of Payout shall be determined by DmiSoftware.com
and is subject to change at any time. DmiSoftware.com will make a reasonable attempt to
notify Affiliate via electronic mail of change in Percentage of Revenue, but cannot
guarantee the success of such notification. Payments will be calculated on a monthly
basis. Due to the additional time necessary for accounting and printing of statements and
checks, processing returns and validating chargebacks, approximately forty (40) days
following the end of each calendar month, DmiSoftware.com will send Affiliate a check for
the sum of any Affiliate Fee earned less any fraudulent, canceled, returned orders or
chargebacks. DmiSoftware.com in its sole discretion will determine the validity of each
Order received for an Offer. DmiSoftware will pay for checks that are paid to the
affiliate by regular mail. However if Affiliate wishes to get the check payment via
courier service such as FedEx, e.t.c. , appropriate charges shall be deducted from
Affiliates payments. (Usually $25 for Courier in U.S.)
To be paid an affiliate shall have a minimum of $50 earnings. Any payment of less than
this amount shall be automatically shifted to the next billing month until the amount
equals or exceeds $50 limit.
If Affiliate is terminated from the Program due to fraud, no outstanding fees owed to
Affiliate will be paid.
Offers and availability may vary from time to time. Because Offers may change,
Affiliate may not include individual Offer information in Affiliate Site. DmiSoftware.com
will use reasonable efforts to present accurate information, but cannot guarantee the
availability of any particular Offer.
5. Fraud
If Affiliate Site violates any of the Program guidelines or policies, or is responsible in
any way for fraudulent Orders, this Agreement will be immediately and automatically
terminated without notice. Affiliate may be required to repay all funds received from
DmiSoftware.com related to fraudulent or potentially fraudulent Orders and may be subject
to additional penalties or charges. DmiSoftware.com will prosecute to the fullest extent
of the law. Fraud also includes violation of the specified Content Restrictions within the
Affiliate Site.
6. Policies and Pricing
Customers who order through this Program will be deemed to be customers of
DmiSoftware.com. Accordingly, all DmiSoftware.com rules, policies, and operating
procedures concerning customer Orders, customer service, and downloads will apply to those
customers. DmiSoftware.com may change policies and operating procedures at any time. For
example, DmiSoftware.com will determine the fees and pricing, if any, for all Offers under
