will mean Deltech Manufacturing, Inc. (www.fitnessdestination.com),
and "you," "your," and "yours" will mean the affiliate.
2. Affiliate
Obligations
2.1. To begin the enrollment process, you will complete and
submit the online application. We will evaluate your application to
join the program and notify you of your acceptance or rejection. We
may reject your application if we determine, in our sole discretion,
that your site is unsuitable for the Program. Unsuitable sites
include, for example, sites that:
- promote
sexually explicit materials
- promote
violence
- promote
discrimination based on race, sex, religion, nationality,
disability, sexual orientation or age
- promote
illegal activities or violate intellectual property rights
- or from
applicants who we prefer not to be associated with

Program, you will have access to the www.fitnessdestination
Affiliate Management Center. At this site you will be able to
change your affiliate preferences and download HTML code (that
provides for links to web pages within the
www.fitnessdestination.com web site). Graphics ("Links") that we
have made available for use in your web site ("Site") will always be
available at the
Affiliate Management Center . You are
allowed to link to any web pages on the
Fitnessdestination.com website. In
order for us to accurately keep track of guest visits from your site
to ours, you must use the HTML code that we provide.
2.3. Additionally, only Fitnessdestination.com
HTML forms may be used for registration and login to the
Fitnessdestination.com web site. Deltech
Manufacturing, Inc. reserves the right, at any time, to review your
placement and approve the use of Your Links and require that you
change the placement or use to comply with the guidelines provided
to you.
2.4. You agree to fully cooperate with us in order to
establish and maintain any links between the
www.fitnessdestination.com site and your site. You also
agree that those graphic images that you display pertaining to
www.fitnessdestination.com, for use as a link or otherwise, will
only be graphic images that we provide to you from the
Affiliate Management Center. If we update those graphics, you
will need to replace our old graphics with the new ones.
2.5. The maintenance and the updating of your site will be
your responsibility. Because you are a member of
fitnessdestination’s Affiliate Program and the information
within
www.fitnessdestination.com is updated often, it will be
necessary for you to update the content of your site on a regular
basis to maintain consistency and accuracy between the
www.fitnessdestination.com site and your site. We may
monitor your site as we feel necessary to make sure that your site
is up-to-date and to notify you of any changes to your site that we
feel should be made.

applicable intellectual property and other laws that pertain to your
site. You must have express permission to use any person's
copyrighted material, whether it be a writing, an image, or any
other copyrightable work. We will not be responsible (and you will
be solely responsible) if you use another person's copyrighted
material or other intellectual property in violation of the law or
any third party rights.

Either you or we may end this Agreement AT ANY TIME, with or without
cause, by giving the other party written notice. Written notice can

6. Affiliate
Fees
For every new end user who enters the Fitnessdestination.com
web site through your Links from your Site and purchases merchandise
from Fitnessdestination.com (a "Qualified
Buyer"), Deltech Manufacturing, Inc. will pay you a fee of
10% (10
percent) of the order subtotal (before tax and shipping). Qualified
Buyers exclude all existing Fitnessdestination.com
customers. Please note that we will not pay Affiliate Fees on
purchases by Qualified Buyers who subsequently re-enter the
Fitnessdestination.com web site (other
than through your Links from your Site), even if the customer
previously followed a link from Your Site to the
Fitnessdestination.com web site.
7. Payment
To receive a commissions payment, you must request one. You
may do so every month (providing you are
owed at least $25), or when you have
accumulated at least $50 in earnings. However, if the commissions
payable to you for any calendar quarter are less than $25.00,
we may at our option hold these commissions until the total amount
due is at least $25.00 or (if earlier)
until this Agreement is terminated. Affiliates in the United States
may be paid by Money Order or check via postal mail.
Deltech
Manufacturing, Inc. will only accept Affiliates inside the United
States of America.
8. Access to
Affiliate Center
You will be given a password so that you may enter our secure
Affiliate Management Center. From this site you will be able to
receive your reports that will describe our calculation of the
Advertising Fee due to you.
9. Promotion
Restrictions
You are welcome to promote your own web sites, but naturally any
promotion that mentions the
Fitnessdestination.com web site, could be perceived by the
public or the press as a joint effort. You should know that certain
forms of advertising are always prohibited by Deltech Manufacturing,
Inc.. For example, advertising commonly referred to as "spamming" is
unacceptable to us and could cause damage to our brand name. Other
generally prohibited forms of advertising include the use of
unsolicited commercial email (UCE), postings to non-commercial
newsgroups and cross-posting to multiple newsgroups at once. In
addition, you may not advertise in any way that effectively conceals
or misrepresents your identity, your domain name or your return
email address. You may use mailings to customers to promote
the Fitnessdestination.com web site so
long as the recipient is already a customer or subscriber of your
services or web site, and recipients have the option to remove
themselves from future mailings. Also, you may post to newsgroups to
promote the Fitnessdestination.com web
site so long as the news group specifically welcomes commercial
messages. No matter what, you must always clearly represent yourself
and your web sites as independent from Fitnessdestination.com.
If it comes to our attention that you are spamming, we will consider
that cause for immediate termination of this Agreement and your
participation in the Fitnessdestination.com
Affiliate Program. Any pending balances owed to you will not be paid
if your account is terminated due to unacceptable advertising or
solicitation.
