Agami Media Publisher Agreement

THIS PUBLISHER AFFILIATION AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is entered into by and between Agami Media Inc, a California corporation - a non-exclusive, online, performance-based marketing network ("Agami Media", "AgamiMedia.com" or "Company"), and you - any corporate or individual entity owning, either directly or indirectly, the referring URL of each Publisher, which can be defined as a web site, email or search engine marketer or other distributor of advertising ("Publisher", "You" or "Your"), also referred to herein jointly as the Parties ("Parties", each a "Party").

The Agreement sets forth the Parties' respective rights and obligations with respect to Your participation in the Agami Media Publisher Network.

By submitting Your Publisher Application, You are affirmatively stating that You have read and understand all clauses of the Agreement and You are accepting the Agreement as it is.

OVERVIEW

As a member of the Agami Media Publisher Network You will receive compensation for promoting Campaigns sponsored by Agami Media and our partners according to the terms of this Agreement and the individual Campaign Terms (or "Campaign Description").

A Campaign is a combination of Creatives (text, banners, etc.), Publisher specific links/tags, and Campaign Terms. Campaign Terms determine the acceptable ways to promote the Campaign, the Events upon occurrence of which You receive compensation and the compensation amount, among other things.

This Publisher Agreement supplements all Campaign Terms subsequently agreed to by the Publisher through use of the links. Terms not defined in this Publisher Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in the Campaign Terms. In cases of contradictions between the Publisher Agreement and the Campaign Terms, the Campaign Terms should be followed.

To start promoting a Campaign You have to copy the links/tags created specifically for You and use them in Your Media (web site(s), emails, etc.).
By starting to promote a Campaign You acknowledge that You have read the Campaign Terms, if such exist, that You accept and will adhere to these terms. Company may change a Campaign at any time unless otherwise specified upon reasonable notice to You. A notice that appears on the Company site after you log in to your account is considered to be reasonable. Some Campaigns may require that You receive approval by the Campaign Sponsor prior to starting to promote the Campaign. Company reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to terminate a Campaign and remove any advertisements at any time for any reason, upon reasonable notice to You.

Company shall provide You with access to active Campaigns, shall administer Campaigns, shall track Your promotional activities and determine Your compensation amount.

In addition to the Campaign Terms, if any, and if no contradiction exists between those Campaign Terms the following Rules and Regulations, the latter shall be followed at all times:

You must use the Creatives (text, banners, etc.) and links/tags as they are and not change them in any way without Company's prior express written permission;
Offering incentives to users in order to enhance the performance of any Campaign is prohibited, if not approved in writing by Company. Incentives include but are not limited to awarding users with cash, points, prizes, contest entries, etc. If You receive approval from Agami Media to offer incentives, you should only use non-personally identifiable Member Ids in order to track member activities and reward members;
You should not offer incentives to users to click on ads or place statements near the Creatives requesting that Users "click" on the ad (i.e., "Please "click here") or "visit" the sponsor (i.e., "Please visit our sponsor."); nor place misleading statements near the Creatives (i.e., "You will win $5,000.");
You may not place Campaigns on domains or use email lists or other Media different than the ones listed in the Publisher Application form or subsequently approved by Company in writing. Publisher must immediately notify Company in writing of any material changes to approved Media content.
You may not resell Campaigns to third parties without written approval by Company.
Traffic and Events must come from countries relevant to the Campaigns as defined in the Campaign Description. We monitor IP source and reserve the right to refuse payment for Events coming from countries different than the ones specified in the Campaign Description. This means Campaigns targeted to English-speaking audience must be delivered to English-speaking countries. Campaigns targeted to US only audience must be delivered to US residents, and so forth (i.e., Events coming from China for USA only Campaigns may not result in payment).
You have to regularly update Your account information. Agami Media is not responsible for any lost payments or communication due to Your failure to update its member account information;
Publishers shall not use trademarked terms to promote Campaigns (through search engine marketing or otherwise);

- You are prohibited from sending e-mails to consumers on behalf of anybody else but Publisher.

3. Fraudulent Activity

Agami Media actively monitors traffic for fraud. If fraud is detected, Publisher's account will be made inactive pending further investigation. It is Publisher's responsibility to prove that it is not committing fraud. Publisher accounts are flagged that:

Have click-through rates that are much higher than industry averages and where solid justification is not evident to the reasonable satisfaction of Agami Media;
Have ONLY click programs generating clicks with no indication by site traffic that it can sustain the clicks reported;
Have shown fraudulent leads as determined by the Sponsors;
Have much higher conversions per click rates than industry averages and where solid justification is not evident to the reasonable satisfaction of Agami Media;
Use fake redirects, automated software, and/or fraud to generate Events from the Campaigns and/or steel other Publishers' commissions by replacing or modifying Publisher tracking codes/cookies.

If Publisher fraudulently adds Events (through pre-population of forms, use of Media not explicitly approved by Agami Media in writing, or use of other mechanisms not approved by the Company), as determined solely by Agami Media, Publisher may forfeit its entire commission for all Campaigns and its account may be terminated. In addition, in the event that Publisher has already received payment for fraudulent activities, Agami Media reserves the right to seek credit or remedy from future earnings or to demand re-imbursement from Publisher. If Publisher is notified that fraudulent activities may be occurring on its Website, and Publisher fails to take prompt action to stop the fraudulent activities, then, in addition to any other remedies available to Agami Media, Publisher shall be responsible for all costs and legal fees arising from these fraudulent activities.

4. Tracking and Payment

Agami Media shall track Your promotional activities on an ongoing basis. You understand and agree that online statistics may not be final and that Agami Media may make adjustments to your online statistics at the end of each calendar month/beginning of next month to account for, among other things, specific contractual provisions (e.g., bonuses) and statistical errors. Any tracking questions or disputes shall be submitted to Company in writing within 7 business days of the date the figures have been posted on the AgamiMedia.com site.

All payments are based on actual figures as defined, accounted and audited by Campaign Sponsors on monthly basis. Company will facilitate payment by disbursing the payments earned to individual Publishers upon receipt of payment from Campaign Sponsors. Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to collect payments due from Campaign Sponsors on time. In the event that Company fails to receive payment due for a specific Campaign by the Campaign Sponsor, Company shall have no payment obligations towards Publishers who have promoted the Campaign.

Company reserves the right not to pay or reduce the amount owed to any Publisher who violates any of the terms of this Agreement or the individual Campaign Terms as determined solely by Company.

You must provide valid tax identification information. Agami Media assumes no responsibility for paying income taxes on Your behalf. By participating in the Agami Media Publisher Network, You assume complete and sole responsibility for any taxes owed as a consequence of participation in the Network. Publishers residing in the United States have to provide valid taxpayer identification number (TIN). The TIN will be used for no purpose other than for tax reporting purposes. International Publishers may be asked to complete appropriate forms for tax purposes and agree to accurately complete such forms. Agami Media may withhold payment from any Publisher that does not provide accurate tax information or complete any necessary tax or reporting forms, as determined in Agami Media's sole and absolute discretion.

Payment will be owed to You on terms of NET 30 EOM (end of month). All accounts will be paid in US dollars. The minimum payment amount is $100 for all but wire payments. For wire payments the minimum is $250. All unpaid earnings will roll over to the next pay period.

5. Term and Termination

At the time of termination, Publisher agrees to forfeit any account balances that are not paid out. If the Agreement is terminated on the basis of account inactivity, Company shall make reasonable efforts to disburse any remaining account balances provided all required tax and payment related documents are in Company's possession. If Publisher has not provided all required tax and payment related documents prior to termination, Publisher shall forfeit all unpaid Publisher earnings.
