PRODUCT GRAPHICS AND HOME PAGE LINKS. You may select any one or more graphics we offer to feature on your site. You may change the selection of your featured graphic at any time, without our approval. You can display on your site a word or words, graphic image(s), or combination of words and images. The content, style and placement of these words and images will be your sole responsibility and within your sole discretion provided that you comply with the terms of this Agreement. You must ONLY place word(s) or graphic image(s) links on your site utilizing the code provided. You may NOT "hard" code image(s) on your site. You may not modify any of our graphics, content, tools, text, trademarks, logos or any of our images (collectively "Images") in any way.

For each selected graphic, we will provide an electronic link to the SpeakerCalendar.com Site using an Affiliate URL provided by us (a "Link"). It is your sole responsibility to set up and maintain the electronic Links connecting your Site to the appropriate page on SpeakerCalendar.com designated for that particular graphic, and ensure that the electronic Links are in good and working order.

You acknowledge and agree that (i) the Links, Graphics, Images, or any other material provided to you by us for inclusion on your Site may include SpeakerCalendar.com's trade name, trademark, service mark and/or logo (the "SpeakerCalendar.com Brand Features"), (ii) you have no right to alter or modify such SpeakerCalendar.com Brand Features (iii) you will not use or display the SpeakerCalendar.com Brand Features or any of the other Images in any manner that is defamatory, misleading, libelous, obscene or otherwise potentially damaging to the reputation of Proactive Web Brands LLC or the Manager or the goodwill associated with the SpeakerCalendar.com Brand Features.

3. Registration Processing

We will process subscription registrations placed by customers who follow any Links from your Site to SpeakerCalendar.com. We reserve the right to reject registrations that do not comply with any requirements that we periodically may establish.

We will be responsible for all aspects of subscription processing and fulfillment. Among other things, we will process payments and cancellations; and handle customer service. We will track registrations of Customers who subscribe using Links from your site to our Site and will provide you with access to reports summarizing this registration activity. The form, content, and frequency of the reports may vary from time to time in our discretion but will generally be available on a continuous basis. You hereby agree not to disclose the information contained in these reports to any third party without prior written or electronic consent. To permit accurate tracking, reporting, and fee accrual, you must ensure that the Links between your and our Site are properly formatted. All HTML tags are to be generated using the special HTML tags provided by us and are not to be altered in any manner. We will not be responsible for tracking and reporting sales that were not made through a Link formatted to our specifications.

4. Referral Fees

We will pay you Referral Fees on certain subscription registrations to certain Customers as defined below. For a subscription to generate a Referral Fee, a Customer must follow a Link (in the format specified by us) from your Site to SpeakerCalendar.com, register for one or more of the Eligible Services using our automated ordering system, and remit full credit card approved payment to Proactive Web Brands LLC. Upon this full payment for this registration, hereinafter referred to as a "Converted Registration", the referral fee stated in Section 5 will become payable to You. We will not, however, pay Referral or other fees on any services that are subsequently purchased after the Customer has reentered the SpeakerCalendar.com Site (other than through a Link from your Site), even if the customer previously followed a Link from your Site to the SpeakerCalendar.com Site. Services that are entitled to earn Referral Fees under the rules set forth above are hereinafter referred to as "Eligible Services."

You will earn Referral Fees based on the Sale Price of Eligible Services (as defined above), according to fee schedules to be established by us (and which we retain the absolute right to modify at any time) "Sale Price" means the sale price listed on our web site for each service that we sell.

5. Fee Amount

Referral fees earned pursuant to Section 4 shall equal $15.00 for each Converted Registration in accordance with the provisions and procedures of this Agreement ("Referral Fees). In our sole discretion, we may establish other special commission rates with respect to certain promotions.

6. Fee Schedule

We will pay you Referral Fees on a monthly basis. Within fourteen (14) days following the end of each calendar month, we will send you a check for the Referral Fees earned on Eligible Services that were first billed during that month, less any taxes that we are required by law to withhold. If an Eligible Service that generated a Referral Fee is canceled, we will deduct the corresponding fee from your next monthly payment.

7. Policies And Pricing

Third parties who subscribe to services through this Program will be deemed to be customers of Proactive Web Brands LLC ("Customers"). Accordingly all Proactive Web Brands LLC rules, policies, and operating procedures concerning customer registrations, customer service, and subscription sales will apply to those Customers. We may change our policies and operating procedures at any time and for any reason. For example, we will determine the prices to be charged for services sold under this Program in accordance with our own pricing policies. Subscription prices and availability may vary from time to time. Because price changes may affect Services that you already have listed on your Site, you may not include price information in your descriptions or otherwise on your Site. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to present accurate information, but we cannot guarantee the availability or price of any particular product or service.
