BEST2CALL REFERRAL PROGRAM AGREEMENT
This Agreement contains the complete terms
and conditions that apply to an individual or entity's participation
in the Best2Call.com Referral Program (the "Program").
As accepted in this Agreement, "we" means Best2Call.com,
and "you" means the applicant. "Site"
means a World Wide Web site and, depending on the context,
refers either to Best2Call.com's site or to the site that
you will link to our site.
1. Enrollment in the Program
In enrolling in the Program you must first
submit a complete Program application via our site. Upon receiving
this, we will evaluate your application and will notify you
of your acceptance. If your site is not yet functioning ("live"),
we will reevaluate it periodically. Upon acceptance of your
enrollment, we reserve the right to cancel your application
at our discretion if we feel your site is unsuitable (as described
in section 10) for the Program.
If we reject your application, you are encouraged
to reapply to the Program at any time after your site has
been modified.
2. Links on Your Site
The following methods may be used to link
your site to Best2Call.com:
- General Link: You may provide a general link on your site
to our home page, which will be provided by Best2Call.com.
- Search Box: Site visitors may navigate directly to a page
on the Best2Call.com site that contains the results of their
search queries.
- Customized Banner: Any banner created by your site for
the purpose of linking to Best2Call.com must be approved
by Best2Call.com and used at our discretion.
3.Order Processing
We will process service orders placed by
customers who open an account with Best2Call.com by following
special links from your site to the Best2Call.com 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 and fulfillment.
Among other things, we will prepare order forms, and process
payments, cancellations, and returns. In addition to this,
we will handle customer service. We will track sales made
by customers who open an account using special links from
your site to ours. To permit accurate tracking, reporting,
and fee accrual, you must ensure that the special links between
your site and our site are properly formatted; proper coding
on the affiliate's site is the responsibility solely of the
affiliate.
4. Referral Fees
We will pay you a 10% fee on all sales completed
by customers referred through the special link on your website.
For a sale to generate a referral fee, the customer must first
follow a special link (specified by Best2Call.com) from your
site to the Best2Call.com site. After going through this link,
the customer must open an account with Best2Call, purchase
a service(s), accept delivery, and make the full payment to
us. After a visitor accesses our site through yours, a "cookie"
will be set which will identify that user when they access
the Best2Call.com site regardless of whether they came back
through your site or not. The cookie will persist for 30 days
with your affiliate ID number, unless a) another site overwrites
the cookie with its own affiliate ID number, b) a purchase
is completed or c) the cookie somehow expires or is erased
due to changes made on the user's computer. Unless otherwise
noted any listed Best2Call service is entitled to earn referral
fees at the price listed off Best2Call.com - these services
are referred to as "Qualifying Services."
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Best2Call.com
reserves the right to offer other referral fees for sales
made in conjunction with online promotions or coupons.
5. Fee Payment
Referral fees will be paid on a monthly
basis. If the fees payable to you for any calendar month are
less than $25.00, we will hold those fees until the total
amount due is at least $25.00 or until this Agreement is terminated
or a request is made. Payments will be issued every month
based on your account balance at the end of each month. Commissions
on customer orders are credited to your statement on the order
date. If the customer stops or disputes payment for services,
which has generated a referral fee, we will deduct the fee
from your next payment. If you are owed less than the amount
being deducted and the agreement is ended, we will send you
a bill for the fee.
6. Policies and Pricing
Customers purchasing services through this
Program will be deemed customers of Best2Call.com exclusively.
All Best2Call.com rules, policies, and operating procedures
regarding customer orders, customer service, and sales will
apply to these customers. Best2Call.com reserves the right
to change its policies and operating procedures at any time,
without prior notification to your site. We will determine
the prices to be charged for services sold under this Program
according to our own pricing policies. Since service prices
and availability may change from time to time, you may not
include price information in your service descriptions.
7. Responsibilities of Your Site
You are responsible for:
- creating and posting proper links on your
site. Best2Call.com will provide these links with your affiliate
code.
- ensuring the accuracy and appropriateness of materials
posted on your site in association to Best2Call.com.
- ensuring that materials posted on your site do not violate
or infringe upon the rights of any third party such copyrights,
trademarks, privacy, or other personal or proprietary rights.
- ensuring that materials posted on your site are not libelous
or otherwise illegal.
We disclaim all liability for these matters.
Further, you will indemnify and hold us harmless from all

attorneys' fees) relating to the development, operation, maintenance,
and contents of your site.
You must ensure that your site will not:
- Promote violence

- Promote discrimination based on race, sex, religion, nationality,
disability, sexual orientation, or age
- Violate intellectual and artistic property right

In addition, you may not purchase, register,
or bid any keywords, search terms or other identifiers that
include the word "Best2Call" or variations thereof
(for example "best 2 call", "Best2Call.com,
etc.) for use in any search engine, portal, sponsored advertising
service or other search or referral service. If we determine,
in our sole discretion, that you have engaged in any of the
foregoing activities, we may (without limiting any other rights
or remedies available to us) withhold any referral fees otherwise
payable to you under this Agreement and/or terminate this
Agreement.
8. Terms of the Agreements
The terms of this Agreement will begin upon
our acceptance of your application and will end upon being
terminated by either party. Either party, with or without
cause, may terminate this Agreement by giving the other party
written notice of termination. This agreement will terminate
five (5) days after written notice by either party.
9. Modification

any of the terms or conditions contained in this Agreement,
at any time, by posting a change notice or a new agreement
on our site. Modifications may be changes in the scope of
available referral fees, fee schedules, payment procedures,
and Program rules. IF ANY MODIFICATION IS UNACCEPTABLE TO
YOU, YOUR ONLY RECOURSE IS TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT. YOUR
CONTINUED PARTICIPATION IN THE PROGRAM FOLLOWING OUR POSTING
OF A CHANGE NOTICE OR NEW AGREEMENT ON OUR SITE WILL CONSTITUTE
BINDING ACCEPTANCE OF THE CHANGE.
10. Relationship of Parties
This Agreement does not create any partnership,
joint venture, agency, franchise, sales representation, or
employment relationship between your site and Best2Call.com.
You have no authority to make or accept any offers or representations
on our behalf. You are unable to make any claims that reasonably
would contradict anything in this Section.
11. Limitation of Liability
We will not be liable for indirect, special,
or consequential damages (or any loss of revenue, profits,
or data) arising in connection with this Agreement or the
Program, even if we have been advised of the possibility of
such damages. Further, our aggregate liability arising with
respect to this Agreement and the Program will not exceed
the total referral fees paid or payable to you under this
Agreement.
12. Disclaimers
Best2Call.com makes no warranties with respect
to the Program or any services sold through the Program (including,
without limitation, warranties of fitness, merchantability,
non-infringement, or any implied warranties arising out of
a course of performance, dealing, or trade usage). Best2Call.com
makes no guarantee that the operation of our site will be
uninterrupted or error-free. In such an instance we will not
be liable for the consequences of any interruptions or errors.
13. Independent Investigation
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ THIS
AGREEMENT AND AGREE TO ALL ITS TERMS AND CONDITIONS. YOU UNDERSTAND
THAT WE MAY AT ANY TIME (DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY) SOLICIT CUSTOMER
REFERRALS ON TERMS THAT MAY DIFFER FROM THOSE CONTAINED IN
THIS AGREEMENT OR OPERATE WEB SITES THAT ARE SIMILAR TO OR
COMPETE WITH YOUR WEB SITE. YOU HAVE INDEPENDENTLY EVALUATED
THE DESIRABILITY OF PARTICIPATING IN THE PROGRAM AND ARE NOT
RELYING ON ANY REPRESENTATION, GUARANTEE, OR STATEMENT OTHER
THAN AS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT.
14. Miscellaneous
This Agreement will be governed by the laws
of the United States and the state of Florida. Any action
relating to this Agreement must be brought forth in the federal
or state courts located in Tampa, Florida and you irrevocably
consent to the jurisdiction of such courts. You may not assign
this Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise, without
our prior written consent. Subject to that restriction, this
Agreement will be binding on, inure to the benefit of, and
enforceable against the parties and their respective successors
and assigns. Our failure to enforce your strict performance
of any provision of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver
of our right to subsequently enforce such provision or any
other provision of this Agreement.
