Each Affiliate Program offer (an "Offer") may be for any offering by ClickConvoy or a third party (each such third party a "Client") and may link to a specific website for that particular Offer ("Program Web Site"). Furthermore, each Offer may have additional terms and conditions on pages within the Affiliate Program and are incorporated as part of this Agreement. By submitting an application or participating in an Offer, you expressly consent to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
1. Enrollment in the Affiliate Program
You must submit an Affiliate Program application from our website.

1. We will make available to you via the Affiliate Program graphic and textual links to the Program Web Site and/or other creative materials (collectively, the "Links") which you may display on websites owned or controlled by you, in emails sent by you and clearly identified as coming from you and in online advertisements (collectively, "Media"). The Links will serve to identify you as a member of our Affiliate Program and will establish a link from your media to the Program Web Site.

A"Qualified Action" means an individual person who (i) accesses the Program Web Site via the Link, where the Link is the last link to the Program Website, (ii) is not a computer-generated user, such as a robot, spider, computer script or other automated, artificial or fraudulent method to appear like an individual, real live person, (iii) is not using pre-populated fields (iv)completes all of the information required for such action within the time period allowed by ClickConvoy and (v) is not later determined by ClickConvoy to be fraudulent, incomplete, unqualified or a duplicate.

We reserve the right to charge back to your account any previously paid Qualified Actions that are later determined to have not met the requirements to be a Qualified Action.
4. Payment for Commissions is dependent upon Clients providing such funds to ClickConvoy, and therefore, you agree that ClickConvoy shall only be liable to you for Commissions to the extent that ClickConvoy has received such funds from the Clients. You hereby release ClickConvoy from any claim for Commissions if ClickConvoy has not received such funds from the Clients.
5. ClickConvoy shall automatically generate an invoice on behalf of Affiliate for all Commissions payable under this Agreement and shall remit payment to Affiliate based upon that invoice.

If Affiliate does not dispute the invoice as set forth herein, then Affiliate agrees that it irrevocably waives any claims based upon that invoice. If Affiliate is also tracking Qualified Actions and Affiliate claims a discrepancy, Affiliate must provide ClickConvoy with Affiliate's reports within three (3) days after the 30th day of the calendar month, and if ClickConvoy's and Affiliate's reported statistics vary by more than 10% and ClickConvoy reasonably determines that Affiliate has used generally accepted industry methods to track Qualified Actions, then ClickConvoy and Affiliate agree to make a good faith effort to arrive at a reconciliation. If the parties are unable to arrive at a reconciliation, then ClickConvoy's numbers shall govern.
