This includes orders for customers or on behalf of customers or orders for products to be used by you or your friends, relatives or associates in any manner.

5. Referral Fee Schedule & Payment

"Qualifying revenues" are revenues derived by us from our sales of qualifying products, excluding costs for discounts, shipping, handling, gift-wrapping, taxes, service charges, credit card processing fees, and bad debt. "Qualifying orders" are orders containing at least one or more qualifying products.
Qualifying revenues in USD and EUR are converted to GBP at a fixed rate of:
1 GBP = 1.32 USD
1 GBP = 1.15 EUR
The current referral fee schedule based on total of qualifying revenues in a given month (note that tiers are reset 1st day of every month):
Starting rate….. 20%
Above £8800 in sales….. 25%
Above £11000 in sales….. 30%
For specially marked Qualifying Products:
Flat referral fee….. 10%
5.2. We will pay you referral fees on a monthly basis. Approximately once a month, at the start of the month, we will send payment via PayPal or bank transfer (depending on the payout method selected) for the referral fees earned on our sales of Qualifying Products that were shipped during that month, less any taxes that we are required by law to withhold. However, if the referral fees payable to you for any month are less than £100.00, we will hold those referral fees until the total amount due is at least £100.00 or (if earlier) until this Agreement is terminated. If monthly payout is more than £500.00, payment may be issued via bank transfer even if you chose PayPal as the payment method. If a Qualifying Product that generated a referral fee is returned by the customer, we will deduct the corresponding referral fee from your next monthly payment. If there is no subsequent payment, we will send you a bill for the referral fee.
5.3. You are responsible for the payment of all taxes according to your local legislation related to the referral fees you receive under this Agreement.

You agree to follow our Trademark Guidelines, as those guidelines may change from time to time. We may revoke your license at any time by giving you written notice.
9. Promotion Restrictions
9.1. You are free to promote your own web sites, but naturally any promotion that mentions Objective Nutrients could be perceived by the public or the press as a joint effort. You should know that certain forms of advertising are always prohibited by Objective Nutrients. For example, advertising commonly referred to as "spamming" is unacceptable to us and could cause damage to our name. Other generally prohibited forms of advertising include the use of unsolicited commercial email (UCE), postings to non-commercial newsgroups and cross-posting to multiple newsgroups at once.
In addition, you may not advertise in any way that effectively conceals or misrepresents your identity, your domain name, or your return email address. You may use mailings to customers to promote Objective Nutrients so long as the recipient is already a customer or subscriber of your services or web site, and recipients have the option to remove themselves from future mailings. Also, you may post to newsgroups to promote Objective Nutrients so long as the news group specifically welcomes commercial messages.
At all times, you must clearly represent yourself and your web sites as independent from Objective Nutrients. If it comes to our attention that you are spamming, we will consider that cause for immediate termination of this Agreement and your participation in the Objective Nutrients Affiliate Program. ANY PENDING BALANCES OWED TO YOU WILL NOT BE PAID IF YOUR ACCOUNT IS TERMINATED DUE TO SUCH UNACCEPTABLE ADVERTISING OR SOLICITATION.
9.2. Affiliates that among other keywords or exclusively bid in their Pay-Per-Click campaigns on keywords such as Objective Nutrients, ObjectiveNutrients, www.objective-nutrients.com, www.objectivenutrients.co, and/or any misspellings or similar alterations of these – be it separately or in combination with other keywords – and do not direct the traffic from such campaigns to their own website prior to re-directing it to ours, will be considered trademark violators, and will be banned from Objective Nutrients Affiliate Program. We will do everything possible to contact the affiliate prior to the ban. However, we reserve the right to expel any trademark violator from our affiliate program without prior notice, and on the first occurrence of such PPC bidding behavior.
9.3. Affiliate shall not transmit any so-called “interstitials,” “Parasiteware™,” “Parasitic Marketing,” “Shopping Assistance Application,” “Toolbar Installations and/or Add-ons,” “Shopping Wallets” or “deceptive pop-ups and/or pop-unders” to consumers from the time the consumer clicks on a qualifying link until such time as the consumer has fully exited Merchant’s site (i.e., no page from our site or any Objective Nutrients’ content or branding is visible on the end-user’s screen). As used herein a. “Parasiteware™” and “Parasitic Marketing” shall mean an application that (a) through accidental or direct intent causes the overwriting of affiliate and non-affiliate commission tracking cookies through any other means than a customer initiated click on a qualifying link on a web page or email; (b) intercepts searches to redirect traffic through an installed software, thereby causing, pop ups, commission tracking cookies to be put in place or other commission tracking cookies to be overwritten where a user would under normal circumstances have arrived at the same destination through the results given by the search (search engines being, but not limited to, Google, MSN, Yahoo, Overture, AltaVista, Hotbot, Yandex and similar search or directory engines); (c) set commission tracking cookies through loading of Merchant site in . s, hidden links and automatic pop ups that open Objective Nutrients’ site; (d) targets text on web sites, other than those web sites 100% owned by the application owner, for the purpose of contextual marketing; (e) removes, replaces or blocks the visibility of Affiliate banners with any other banners, other than those that are on web sites 100% owned by the owner of the application.

Upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason, you will immediately cease use of, and remove from your site, all links to our site, and all Objective Nutrients trademarks, trade dress and logos, and all other materials provided by or on behalf of us to you pursuant hereto or in connection with the Affiliate Program.
You are only eligible to earn referral fees on our sales of Qualifying Products occurring during the term, and referral fees earned through the date of termination will remain payable only if the related orders are not canceled or returned. We may withhold your final payment for a reasonable time to ensure that the correct amount is paid. Once the balanced is settled your account will be closed and deleted. If you wish to re-join you will need to register a second time.
Written notice can be in the form of mail, email or fax. In addition, this Agreement will terminate immediately upon any breach of this Agreement by you. In this case, any pending balances owed to you will not be paid and your account will be removed.
