Affiliates who are terminated from the Program are forbidden to reapply at any time in the future. Any such attempts to do so will result in commissions not being issued.

2. Links on Your Site
We grant you a revocable, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license for the duration of the term of this Agreement, solely for purposes of facilitating referrals from your site to our site, to establish and maintain lists, links and search boxes as detailed below:

Product Links: You may promote any product in the Total Health Secrets product offering. It is the responsibility of the affiliate partner to ensure these links are up to date at all times. Offers may be withdrawn at any time.

You may display on your site a short description, review, or other reference for product promotion. You will be responsible for the content, style and placement of these references. Suggested graphics and descriptive texts may be made available to you and you are encouraged to use them. You will provide a special link (as defined below) from the Product reference on your site to the corresponding Total Health Secrets entry. Each link will connect directly to a single item or product category in the Total Health Secrets online catalog, using a special link format that we give you (a "special" link). You may add or delete Products (and related links) from your site at any time without our approval.

The content and embedded images from the Total Health Secrets website may be used for reference purposes only. Partners are not allowed to spider the Total Health Secrets site to obtain our content and contextual images. Any affiliate who attempts to do so will be revoked from the program and any outstanding commissions will also be forfeited. Only materials provided via our affiliate services area may be used for product promotion. The primary product image from the totalhealthsecrets.com website may be used as well.

General Link to Total Health Secrets Homepage: You may provide a general link on your site to our homepage. We will provide you with guidelines and graphical artwork to use in linking to the Total Health Secrets homepage.

Neither you, nor any person or entity acting on your behalf, shall engage in any solicitation activity on behalf of Total Health Secrets other than by the maintenance of one or more links from your site to the Total Health Secrets site as authorized by this Agreement. Such prohibited additional solicitation activities include, but are not limited to, the distribution of flyers, coupons, and other printed promotional materials; circulation of printed and electronic newsletters; initiation of telephone calls; and sending emails; any of which mention Total Health Secrets or refer to the presence of a Total Health Secrets link on your site.

Except for the license granted under this Section 2, you do not obtain any rights under this Agreement in any intellectual property, including, without limitation, any intellectual property with respect to the Special Links, link formats, technical specifications, guidelines or graphical artwork referenced above, or with respect to the Total Health Secrets domain name.

3. Order Processing
We will process Product orders placed by customers who follow Special Links from your site to the Total Health Secrets site. We reserve the right to reject orders that do not comply with any requirements that we periodically may establish. We will be responsible for all aspects of order processing. Among other things, we will prepare order forms; process payments, cancellations and returns; and handle customer service. We will track sales made to customers who purchase Products using Special Links from your site to our site and will send you reports summarizing sales activity. The form, content and frequency of the reports may vary from time to time at our discretion. To permit accurate tracking, reporting and fee accrual, you must ensure that the Special Links between your site and our site are properly formatted. We will not be liable for paying referral fees on purchases that are not correctly tracked and reported because the links between your site and our site are not properly formatted.

4. Referral Fees
For a product sale to generate a referral fee, the customer must follow a Special Link (in the format specified by us) from your site to the Total Health Secrets site; purchase the Product on the Total Health Secrets site using our automated ordering system; accept delivery of the Product at the delivery destination and remit full payment to Total Health Secrets. We will pay referral fees during the cookie session life of one year, unless the customer comes to the Total Health Secrets site through another affiliate or link tracked directly by Total Health Secrets marketing, advertising, or search engine optimization. Further, we will not pay referral fees on any Products purchased from any site operated by us other than the Total Health Secrets site. In addition, Products listed in the Total Health Secrets catalog or in search results as "out of print", "hard to find", "special order" (or other words to similar effect indicating that a product is not readily available for delivery) are not eligible for any referral fees. Gift certificates are not eligible to earn referral fees.

The Program is intended for commercial use only and you may not purchase Products through the Program for your own use. In addition to any other rights we may have, such purchases may result (at our sole discretion) in (a) the withholding of referral fees and/or (b) the termination of this Agreement. You acknowledge that these remedies, while not exclusive, are a reasonable assessment of the damage we will suffer as a result of a breach of this clause by you. Products that are entitled to earn referral fees under the rules set forth above are hereinafter referred to as "Qualifying Products".

"Session" shall mean the period beginning upon a visitor's entry to our site via a Tagged Link (regardless of whether the visitor leaves and then returns to the site) and ending one year thereafter if the visitor accepts "cookies" from our site (see explanation below).

Any Session in progress will automatically terminate upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement or upon the visitor deleting our cookie.

Note regarding Net Sales - Net Sales include only "shipped" sales. Orders entered for which the product does not ship are not reported as sales.

Note regarding "Cookies": To keep track of the Session, we use a small text file called a "cookie" that is placed on the hard drive of the visitor's computer. Some web browsers permit users to elect not to receive cookies. Only visitors who accept cookies can be tracked for referral fees. You understand that no referral fee can be paid for any purchase made by a visitor who does not accept "cookies" or who has deleted our "cookies" during a session.

5. Fee Payment
We will pay you referral fees on a quarterly basis. Approximately 30 days following the end of each quarter, we will send you payment for the referral fees earned on Qualifying Products that were dispatched during that quarter, less any taxes that we are required by law to withhold. If a Product that generated a referral fee is returned by the customer, we will deduct the corresponding fee from your next payment. If there is no subsequent payment, we will send you an invoice for the fee.

A. We will pay you from 8% up to 12% of all sales. Based on the following scale:

6. Policies and Pricing
For the avoidance of doubt, customers who buy Products through this Program will be customers of Total Health Secrets. Accordingly, all Total Health Secrets rules, policies and operating procedures concerning customer orders, customer service and Product sales will apply to those customers. Such policies and operating procedures may be changed at any time. For example, Total Health Secrets will determine the prices to be charged for Products sold under this Program in accordance with its own pricing policies. Product prices and availability may vary from time to time. Because price changes may affect Products that you already have listed on your site, you must not include price information in your Product descriptions.

Total Health Secrets.com will use commercially reasonable efforts to present accurate information, but we cannot guarantee the availability or price of any particular Product.

7. Identifying Yourself as an Affiliate
We encourage (but do not require) you to include a link to the Total Health Secrets homepage at http://www.Total Health Secrets.com

8. Limited License
We grant you a nonexclusive, revocable right to use the materials described in Section 2 and such other images for which we grant express permission, solely for the purpose of identifying your site as a Program participant and to assist in generating Product sales. You may not modify the icon or any of our images in any way. We reserve all of our rights in the icon, any other images, our trade names and trademarks, and all other intellectual property rights. We may revoke your license at any time by giving you written notice.

9. Responsibility for Your Site

Either you or we may terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause, by giving the other party written notice of termination. You are only eligible to earn referral fees on sales of Qualifying Products occurring during the term and fees earned up to the date of termination will remain payable only if the related orders are not cancelled or returned. We may withhold your final payment for a reasonable time to ensure that the correct amount is paid. Upon termination of this Agreement, you must promptly return to us, or at our request, destroy any and all of our intellectual or proprietary property, information and/or materials in your possession and, subject to receiving written consent to the contrary from us, remove all hypertext links to our site from your site. If you are found to be in violation of any of these terms, we may withhold payments from you at our sole discretion.
