1. Description of the Program
The purpose of the Program is to permit you to advertise Products on your site and to earn advertising fees for Qualifying Purchases (defined in Section 7) made by your end users. A “Product” is any item sold on the ChefwareKits Site, other than any product that is listed on this page (collectively, “Excluded Products”). A Product may also include certain services, if any, expressly included on the Affiliates Program Advertising Fee Schedule. In order to facilitate your advertisement of Products, we may make available to you data, images, text, link formats, widgets, links, and other linking tools, and other information in connection with the Program (“Content”). Content specifically excludes any data, images, text, or other information or content relating to products offered on any site other than the ChefwareKits Site.

2. Enrollment
To begin the enrollment process, you must submit a complete and accurate Program application. You must identify your site in your application. We will evaluate your application and notify you of its acceptance or rejection. We may reject your application if we determine that your site is unsuitable. Unsuitable sites include those that:

(a) promote or contain sexually explicit materials;

(b) promote violence or contain violent materials;

(c) promote or contain libelous or defamatory materials;

(d) promote discrimination, or employ discriminatory practices, based on race, sex, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation, or age;

(e) promote or undertake illegal activities;

(f) are directed toward children under 13 years of age, as defined by the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (15 U.S.C. §§ 6501-6506) and any regulations promulgated thereunder;

(g) include any trademark of ChefwareKits or its affiliates, or a variant or misspelling of a trademark of ChefwareKits or its affiliates, in any domain name, subdomain name, or in any username, group name, or other identifier on any social networking site (see the Trademark Guidelines for examples); or

(h) otherwise violate intellectual property rights.

If we reject your application, you are welcome to reapply at any time. However, if we accept your application and we later determine that your site is unsuitable, we may terminate this Operating Agreement.

You will ensure that the information in your Program application and otherwise associated with your account, including your email address and other contact information and identification of your site, is at all times complete, accurate, and up-to-date. We may send notifications (if any), approvals (if any), and other communications relating to the Program and this Operating Agreement to the email address then-currently associated with your Program account. You will be deemed to have received all notifications, approvals, and other communications sent to that email address, even if the email address associated with your account is no longer current.

3. Links on Your Site
After you have been notified that you have been accepted into the Program, you may display Special Links on your site. “Special Links” are links to the ChefwareKits Site that you place on your site in accordance with this Operating Agreement, that properly utilize the special “tagged” link formats we provide, and that comply with the Affiliates Program Linking Requirements. Special Links permit accurate tracking, reporting, and accrual of advertising fees.

You may earn advertising fees only as described in Section 7 and only with respect to activity on the ChefwareKits Site occurring directly through Special Links. We will have no obligation to pay you advertising fees if you fail to properly format the links on your site to the ChefwareKits Site as Special Links, including to the extent that such failure may result in any reduction of advertising fee amounts that would otherwise be paid to you under this Operating Agreement.

4. Program Requirements
By participating in the Program, you agree that you will comply with the Affiliates Program Participation Requirements and all pages, schedules, policies, guidelines, specifications, user manuals, and supporting materials that we make available to you, and other documents and materials referenced in this Operating Agreement (collectively, “Operational Documentation”).

You will provide us with any information that we request to verify your compliance with this Operating Agreement or any Operational Documentation. In addition to any other rights or remedies available to us, we may terminate this Operating Agreement, withhold (and you agree you are not eligible for) any advertising fees payable to you under this Operating Agreement, or both, if we determine that you or other persons that we determine are affiliated with you or acting in concert with you (whether in respect to any existing or previously terminated Affiliates account):

In addition, you hereby consent to us:

sending you emails relating to the Program from time to time;
monitoring, recording, using, and disclosing information about your site and visitors to your site that we obtain in connection with your display of Special Links (e.g., that a particular ChefwareKits customer clicked through a Special Link from your site before buying a Product on the ChefwareKits Site) in accordance with the ChefwareKits.com Privacy Notice; and

7. Advertising Fees
We will pay you advertising fees on Qualifying Purchases in accordance with Section 8 and the Affiliates Program Advertising Fee Schedule. Subject to the exclusions set forth below, a “Qualifying Purchase” occurs when (a) a customer clicks through a Special Link on your site to the ChefwareKits Site; (b) during a single Session that customer either (i) adds a Product to his or her shopping cart and places the order for that Product no later than 89 days following the customer’s initial click-through; and (c) the Product is shipped to, and paid for by, the customer.

A “Session” begins when a customer clicks through a Special Link on your site to the ChefwareKits Site and ends upon the first to occur of the following: (d) 24 hours elapses from that click; or (e) the customer follows a Special Link to the ChefwareKits Site that is not your Special Link.

Qualifying Purchases exclude, and we will not pay advertising fees on any of, the following:

any Product that, after expiration of the applicable Session, is added to a customer’s Shopping Cart, even if the customer previously followed a Special Link from your site to the ChefwareKits Site;
any Product purchase that is not correctly tracked or reported because the links from your site to the ChefwareKits Site are not properly formatted;
any Product purchased through a Special Link by you or on your behalf, including Products you purchase through Special Links for yourself, friends, relatives, or Affiliates (e.g., personal orders, orders for your own use, and orders placed by you for or on behalf of any other person or entity);
any Product purchased after termination of this Operating Agreement;
any Product order that is canceled or returned; and
any Product purchased by a customer who is referred to the ChefwareKits Site through any of the following:
a Prohibited Paid Search Placement; or
a link to the ChefwareKits Site, including a Redirecting Link, that is generated or displayed on a Search Engine in response to a general Internet search query or keyword (i.e., in natural, free, organic, or unpaid search results), whether those links appear through your submission of data to that site or otherwise.

“Prohibited Paid Search Placement” means an advertisement that you purchased through bidding on keywords, search terms, or other identifiers (including Proprietary Terms) or other participation in keyword auctions. “Proprietary Term” means keywords, search terms, or other identifiers that include the word “chefwarekits,” “threadingjig,” or any other assocaited ChefwareKits term or its affiliates, or variations or misspellings of any of those words. “Redirecting Link” means a link that sends users indirectly to the ChefwareKits Site via an intermediate site or webpage and without requiring the user to click on a link or take some other affirmative action on that intermediate site or webpage. “Search Engine” means Google, Yahoo, Bing, or any other search engine, portal, sponsored advertising service, or other search or referral service, or any site that participates in any of their respective networks.

8. Advertising Fee Payment
We will pay you advertising fees in these forms outlined below based on Qualifying Purchases which are shipped, subject to any applicable withholding or deduction described below.

(a) Payment by ChefwareKits Online Credit. We will send you an email for each qualified purchase in the amount of the advertising fees you earn, redeemable for products on chefwarekits.com, but we may accrue and withhold advertising fees until the total amount due to you is at least $10. All chefwarekits.com online credit is subject to our then-current terms and conditions.

We may deduct a processing fee in the amount of $10 from the total amount due for each Paypal we send to you.

If you have not earned any advertising fees in the 1 years prior to any given calendar month, then on the first day of that calendar month we may charge you an account maintenance fee that will be deducted from your unpaid accrued advertising fees. That account maintenance fee will be the lesser of $10 or the amount of unpaid accrued advertising fees in your account. Further, any unpaid accrued advertising fees in your account may be subject to escheatment under state law. We may be obligated by law to obtain tax information from you if you are a U.S. citizen, U.S. resident, or U.S. corporation, or if your business is otherwise taxable in the U.S. If we request tax information from you and you do not provide it to us, we may (in addition to any other rights or remedies available to us) withhold your advertising fees until you provide this information or otherwise satisfy us that you are not a person from whom we are required to obtain tax information.

FURTHER, NEITHER WE NOR ANY OF OUR AFFILIATES OR LICENSORS WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY COMPENSATION, REIMBURSEMENT, OR DAMAGES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH (X) ANY LOSS OF PROSPECTIVE PROFITS OR REVENUE, ANTICIPATED SALES, GOODWILL, OR OTHER BENEFITS, (Y) ANY INVESTMENTS, EXPENDITURES, OR COMMITMENTS BY YOU IN CONNECTION WITH THIS OPERATING AGREEMENT OR YOUR PARTICIPATION IN THE PROGRAM, OR (Z) ANY TERMINATION OF THIS OPERATING AGREEMENT OR YOUR PARTICIPATION IN THE PROGRAM.

19. Disputes

Any dispute relating in any way to the Program or this Operating Agreement will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law and the laws of the state of Washington, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, will govern this Operating Agreement and any dispute of any sort that might arise between you and us.

There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow the terms of this Operating Agreement as a court would.

To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to us.

We each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, we each waive any right to a jury trial. We also both agree that you or we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Operating Agreement, we may seek injunctive or other relief in any state, federal, or national court of competent jurisdiction for any actual or alleged infringement of our or any other person or entity’s intellectual property or proprietary rights. You further acknowledge and agree that our rights in the Content are of a special, unique, extraordinary character, giving them peculiar value, the loss of which cannot be readily estimated or adequately compensated for in monetary damages.

20. Miscellaneous
You acknowledge and agree that we and our affiliates may at any time (directly or indirectly) solicit customer referrals on terms that may differ from those contained in this Operating Agreement or operate sites that are similar to or compete with your site. You may not assign this Operating Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise, without our express prior written approval. Subject to that restriction, this Operating Agreement will be binding on, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable against the parties and their respective successors and assigns. Our failure to enforce your strict performance of any provision of this Operating Agreement will not constitute a waiver of our right to subsequently enforce such provision or any other provision of this Operating Agreement. In the event of any conflict between this Operating Agreement and the Operational Documentation, the Affiliates Program Excluded Products page will control over this Operating Agreement, which will control over the remainder of the Operational Documentation. If you are enrolled to use the Product Advertising API and in the event of any conflict between this Operating Agreement and the License Agreement, this Operating Agreement will control except that the License Agreement will control with respect to your use of the Product Advertising API, Data Feed, and Product Advertising Content (each as defined in the License Agreement). Whenever used in this Operating Agreement, the terms “include(s),” “including,” “e.g.,” and “for example” mean, respectively, “include(s), without limitation,” “including, without limitation,” “e.g., without limitation,” and “for example, without limitation.” Any determinations or updates that may be made by us, any actions that may be taken by us, and any approvals that may be given by us under this Operating Agreement, may be made, taken, or given in our sole discretion.
