If we accept your application, LinkShare will provide you with access to its affiliate gateway on
the LinkShare Network. If we reject your application, you are welcome to reapply to the Program at
any time. You should also note that if we accept your application and your Site is determined in our
sole discretion to be unsuitable for the Program, we may terminate this Agreement at any time.
1.1. From time to time, we may post on The LinkShare NetworkTM offers to pay to other
participants a specified commission in return for certain advertising services leading to a
Qualifying Link (defined below). If such offers receive an identification number from The LinkShare
NetworkTM they shall be deemed to be an "Offer" for purposes of this Agreement. The
term "Offer" shall also include any counter-offers resulting from an Offer.
1.2. If an Offer made by one party is accepted by the other party in accordance with the Offer's terms
via The LinkShare NetworkTM
, an "Engagement" will have been formed. Each Engagement shall
have the same identification number as the original Offer that lead to the Engagement and shall be
governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. However, in the event of any inconsistency
between the terms of the specific Engagement and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the
Engagement shall govern.
1.3. At any time prior to you providing a Qualifying Link, we may with or without notice (a) change,
suspend or discontinue any aspect of an Offer or an Engagement or (b) remove, alter, or modify any
graphic or banner ad submitted by you for an Offer or an Engagement. You agree to promptly implement
any request from us to remove, alter or modify any graphic or banner ad submitted by us that is being
used by you as part of an Engagement.

any requirements specified in the Engagement, but otherwise will be in your discretion.

3.2. A "Qualifying Link" is a link from your site to our site using one of the Required URLs or any

our site that the Customer uses during a Session where a sale of a product to a Customer occurs. A
"Session" is the period of time beginning from a Customer's initial contact with our site via a link
from your site and terminating when the Customer either returns to our site via a link from a site
