Terms of Agreement for becoming an Affiliate Partner and participating in  Affiliated Program

This Agreement contains the complete terms and conditions that apply to participation by any individual (s) or entity (s) in the  Affiliate Partners Program (the “Program”). As used in this Agreement, “we” means , and “you” means the applicant. “Website” means a World Wide Web and, depending on the context, refers either to websites located at the URL  www.medi-alert.com,  or to any website that you will link to our website (and which you will identify in your Program application).

1. Enrollment in the Program
To begin the enrollment process, you will request an application for approval via e-mail at the following address: support@medi-alert.com. You will then submit a complete Program application via fax to ***-***-****. At the time you apply, your site must be fully functional and not in “beta” or “under construction” state. We will evaluate your application in good faith and will notify you of your acceptance or rejection in as timely a fashion as is reasonable. We may reject your application (in our sole discretion) if we determine that your site is unsuitable for the Program. Unsuitable sites include those that are categorized as follows (but not limited to): promote sexually explicit materials, promote violence, promote discrimination based on race, sex, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation, or age, promote illegal activities, otherwise violate intellectual property rights If your application is rejected, you are welcome to reapply to the Program after 30 days. You should also note that if we accept your application and your site is thereafter determined (in our sole discretion) to be unsuitable for the Program, we may terminate this Agreement.

2. Links on Your Website
Once you have been notified that your website has been accepted into the Program, you may provide on your website only links that are authorized by and supplied to you by us. Links used, which have not been provided by us, will not be eligible for commission payments. You will be responsible for the placement of these references. You may add or delete the related links from your website at any time without our approval. We will provide you with guidelines in linking to us. To permit accurate tracking, reporting, and commission payment accrual, we will provide you with a specific and unique link format to be used in all links between your website and our website. You must ensure that each of the links between your website and our website properly utilizes such special link formats. Links to our website placed on your website pursuant to this Agreement and which properly utilize such special link formats are referred to as “Commissionable links”. You will only earn commission payment fees with respect to activity on our website occurring directly through Commissionable Links. You agree that you will not use our links on any website other than the website you specified in your application to the Program or another website we approve following your acceptance into the Program. If you incorporate our marks or links into a website other than the websites approved by us, this Agreement is void. We will not be liable to you with respect to any failure by you to use Commissionable Links, including to the extent that such failure may result in any reduction of amounts that would otherwise be paid to you pursuant to this Agreement.

3. Order Processing
We will process  orders placed by customers who follow Commissionable Links from your website to our website. We reserve the right to reject orders that do not comply with any requirements that we may establish periodically. We reserve the right to reject or withhold acceptance or fulfillment of orders for any reason, including but not limited to the failure of any person or entity making an order to comply with our terms and conditions of sale, that may be revised periodically. We will be responsible for all aspects of order processing and fulfillment. 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 order  using Commissionable Links from your website to our website and will make available to you reports summarizing this sales and commission accrual activity.

4. Commission Schedule
We will pay you (in accordance with Sections 5 and 6 below) commission based referral fees on certain sales to third parties. For a sale to be eligible to earn a referral fee, the customer must follow a Commissionable Link from your website to our website, select and purchase the Product using our automated ordering system, accept delivery of the Product at the shipping destination, and remit full payment to us. Purchase of products during sessions initiated through the links on your website may not be used for resale or commercial use of any kind. This includes orders for customers or on behalf of customers or orders for products to be used by any friends, relatives or associates in any manner other than strictly personnel use. Such purchases may result (in our sole discretion) in the withholding of referral fees or the termination of this Agreement. Products that are eligible to earn referral fees under the rules set forth above are referred to as “Commissionable Products.” In addition, you may not: (a) directly or indirectly offer any person or entity any consideration or incentive (including, without limitation, payment of money or granting of any discount or other benefit) for using Commissionable Links on your website to access our website (e.g., by implementing any “rewards” program for persons or entities who use Commissionable Links on your website to access our website); (b) post any Special Links on any Website or other platform which is accessible through any Internet Access Appliance; (c) read, intercept, record, redirect, interpret or fill in the contents of any electronic form or other materials submitted to us by any person or entity; (d) in any way modify, redirect, suppress or substitute the operation of any button, link or other interactive feature of our website; (e) make any orders, subscription requests or engage in other transactions of any kind on our website on behalf of any third party, or authorize, assist or encourage any other person or entity to do so; (f) take any action which could reasonably cause any customer confusion as to our relationship with you, or as to the website on which any functions or transactions (e.g., search, order, browse, etc.) are occurring; or (g) post or serve any advertisements or promotional content around or in conjunction with the display of our website (e.g., through any “framing” technique or technology or pop-up windows), or assist, authorize or encourage any third party to take any action. 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.

5. Commission Based Referral
Fee Schedule You will earn Commission based referral fees based on Qualifying Revenues according to referral fee schedules to be established by us. “Commissionable Revenues” are revenues derived by us from our sales of Commissionable Products, excluding costs for shipping, handling, gift-wrapping, taxes, service charges, credit card processing fees, and bad debt. The current referral fee schedule is: $25.00 of Commissionable Revenues from sales of all Commissionable Products.

6. Commission Based Referral Fee Payment
We will pay you commission based referral fees on a quarterly basis. Approximately 15 – 30 days following the end of each calendar quarter, we will release to you a check for the commission based referral fees earned on our sales of Commissionable Products that were shipped during that quarter, less any taxes that we are required by law to withhold. However, if the commission based referral fees payable to you for any calendar quarter are less than $100.00, we will hold those commission based referral fees until the total amount due is at least $100.00 or (if earlier) until this Agreement is terminated. If a Commissionable Product that generated a commission based referral fee is returned by the customer for refund, we will deduct the corresponding commission based referral fee from your next quarterly payment. If there is no subsequent payment, we will send you a bill for the commission based referral fee. Fees billed to you will be due in 30 days from the invoice date and must be paid by cashier’s check or money order. Failure to remit payment by the due date will result in transfer of debt to either an internal or external collection agency. Failure to remit payment within 30 days could result in additional collection costs that will be billed accordingly

7. Policies and Pricing
Customers who sign up with  through this Program will be deemed to be customers of RRPERS. Accordingly, all  rules, policies, and operating procedures concerning customer orders, customer service, and product sales will apply to those customers.

For example, we will determine the prices to be charged for service sold under this Program in accordance with our own pricing policies. Service prices and availability may vary from time to time.
