who follow links from your website. We use AffiliateShop.
Statements of your sales activity will be available

to. Each sale or referral 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.

can freely choose. You may add as many links to ACR International,
LLC., or remove such links, at anytime and without prior approval
from us.

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

total referral fees paid or payable to the affiliate under this agreement.
COMMISSION AND PAYMENT
We will pay you 15%** of any and all purchases made by a customer
referred by your "affilite link" through our banners or
text links, (Not including any applicable sales tax and shipping charge).
**15% is our standard comission rate. Unless a separate written
agreement has been made between you and ACR International, LLC., you
will recieve the standard commission rate.
Minimum amount for payment is twenty-five dollars ($25). Any amount
under this will be held in your account until the minimum for pay
out is reached. (this is ongoing)

LLC.), paid in US dollars. Checks will be mailed within ten days of
the first of the month for the prior month's sales. For example, commissions
for sales made during May will be sent out on or before the 10th of
June. 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.
(The majority of customers gladly accept replacement of products.)
Charge backs (None to date!), if any, will be deducted from your "credited"
commissions.
TERM OF THE AGREEMENT
The term of this agreement will begin upon our acceptance of your
affiliate program application and your placement of our banner or
textual link on your site and will end when terminated by either party.
Either you or we may terminate this agreement at any time, by giving
the other party written notice of termination. This will be in the
form of "email".
You can only earn referral fees on sales occurring during the term.
We will never withhold any payment due. Payment of monies owed you
will be payable on the same schedule as stated above for commission
payment. Upon termination of this agreement, the former Affiliate
must remove all Affiliate links and graphics from its web site, and
refrain from publishing same in any manner whatsoever.
INCOME TAX LIABILITY
You must understand and agree that you are acting as an independent
contractor and as such will be responsible for your own Income Taxes
and any other tax liabilities that affect the sales of our products
in your state. By law, any commissions in excess of five hundred ninty-nine
($599) dollars must be reported by us on a Federal Tax form (that's
why we ask for your SSAN-social security number on the sign-up page).
You will be sent this form and are required to sign and return to
us before any 'further payment' to you can or will be made.
MODIFICATION
We may modify any of the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement,
at any time and in our sole discretion, by posting a new agreement
on our site. Any modifications will also be notified, by email, to
all participating affiliates. If any modification is unacceptable
to you, you may terminate this agreement. Your continued participation
in the program following notification of our new program will constitute
binding acceptance of the change.
RELATIONSHIP OF PARTIES
You and We are independent contractors, and nothing in this Agreement
will create any partnerhip, joint venture, agency, franchise, sales
representative or employment relationship between the parties. You
will have no authority to make or accept any offers or representations
on our behalf. You will not make any statement, whether on your site
or otherwise, that reasonably would contradict anything written here.
CONFLICTS AND DISPUTES
As with any program, a conflict or dispute may occasionally arise
due to tracking, orders, commission calculation, performance issues
and appeals regarding "termination for cause". Below is
outlined who to contact and how to handle any such situation.
- If a concern should arise, send an email stating your full name,
your affiliate ID, your address and state the specifics of your concern.
Include any dates or numbers that apply. We will investigate immediately
and will reply as soon as possible.
- Though we will be more than willing to settle the dispute in as
fair a manner as possible, we realize that conflicts may arise. In
this case, we will be open to mediation or arbitration to settle the
matter.
- We have NOT pre-selected a mediator or arbitrator. Should one be
needed, we will select a non-biased, third party moderator.
