Cards Remembered Affiliate Agreement:
MASTER AGREEMENT
This Master Agreement ("Agreement") is made between Cards
Remembered.com ("Merchant") and the Affiliate ("Partner").
BACKGROUND
Partner and Merchant each desire to establish the general terms and
conditions which shall govern advertising and commission arrangements
between Partner and Merchant which result from their participation in
Cards Remembered.com Affiliate Program.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
In consideration of the promises set forth below, the Partner by
joining the Cards Remembered.com Affiliate Program, and by the
Merchant accepting the Partner, agree as follows:
1. Partner's Responsibilities.
1.1. Partner will link its site to areas within Merchant's site using
special URLs specified in the Engagement (the "Required URLs").
Partner may post as many links to the Required URLs and the rest of
Merchant's site as it likes on Partner's site. The position,
prominence and nature of links on the Partner's site shall comply with
any requirements specified in the Engagement, but otherwise will be in
the discretion of Partner.
1.2. Partner agrees not to make any representations, warranties or
other statements concerning Merchant, Merchant's site, any of
Merchant's products or services, or Merchant's site policies, except
as expressly authorized by the Engagement.
1.3. Partner is responsible for notifying Merchant of any
malfunctioning of the Required URLs or other problems with Partner's
participation in the Engagement. Merchant will respond promptly to all
concerns upon notification by Partner.
2. Commissions.
2.1. Merchant agrees to pay Partner the commission specified in the
Engagement if Merchant sells to a visitor to Merchant's site (a
"Customer") a product or service that is the subject of the Engagement
and if that Customer has accessed Merchant's site and purchased the
product or service via a Qualifying Link.
2.2. A "Qualifying Link" is a link from Partner's site to Merchant's
using one of the Required URLs or any other URL provided by Merchant
if it is the last link to the Merchant's site that the Customer uses
during a Session where a sale of a product or a service to Customer
occurs. A "Session" is the period of time beginning from a Customer's
initial contact with Merchant's site via a link from the Partner's
site and terminating when the Customer either returns to the
Merchant's site via a link from a site other than Partner's site or
the Engagement expires or is terminated.
2.3. Merchant shall have the sole right and responsibility for
processing all orders made by Customers. Partner acknowledges that all
agreements relating to sales to Customers shall be between Merchant
and the Customer.
2.4. All determinations of Qualifying Links and whether a commission
is payable will be made by Merchant and will be final and binding on
both Merchant and Partner. Prices for the products will be set solely
by Merchant in its discretion.
3. Ownership and Licenses.
3.1. Each party owns and shall retain all right, title and interest in
its names, logos, trademarks, service marks, trade dress, copyrights
and proprietary technology, including, without limitation, those
names, logos, trademarks, service marks, trade dress, copyrights and
proprietary technology currently used or which may be developed and/or
used by it in the future.
3.2. Merchant grants Partner a revocable, non-exclusive, worldwide
license to use, reproduce and transmit the name, logos, trademarks,
service marks, trade dress and proprietary technology, as designated
in the Engagement or during the registration process in Cards

purpose of creating links from Partner's site to Merchant's site
during Engagements. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or
permitted by applicable law, Partner may not copy, distribute, modify,
reverse engineer, or create derivative works from the same. Partner
may not sublicense, assign or transfer any such licenses for the use
of the same, and any attempt at such sublicense, assignment or
transfer is void.
3.3. Partner grants Merchant a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
license to use, reproduce and transmit any graphic or banner ad
submitted by Partner solely for co-branding purposes or as a return
link from Merchant's site to Partner's site. Merchant will remove such
graphic or banner ad upon Partner's request.
4. Termination.
4.1. Either party may terminate any Engagement at any time by deleting
their acceptance of the Engagement through Cards Remembered.com
Affiliate Program. Termination of an Engagement shall not terminate
this Agreement or any other Engagement.
4.2. Either party may terminate this Agreement at any time, for any
reason, provided that they provide at least five day's prior written
notice of such termination to the other party and Cards Remembered.com
Affiliate Program. Termination of this Agreement shall also terminate

action and any provisions which by their terms are intended to survive
termination, shall survive termination of this Agreement.
