In utilizing the Links, you agree that you will cooperate fully with us in order to establish and maintain such Link or Links and shall display such graphic images prominently throughout your site. A Link may only be modified and/or expanded with our consent. Each Link connecting users of your site to our site, will in no way alter the look, feel or functionality of our site. We have the right in our sole discretion to monitor your site at any time and from time to time to determine if you are in compliance with the terms of this Agreement.

3. Order Processing.

We will be responsible for providing all information necessary to allow you to make appropriate Links from your site to our site. However, all Links not provided by EYEoftheART.com must be approved by us. We will process orders placed by customers who follow the Links from your site to the EYEoftheART.com site. We reserve the right to reject orders that do not comply with certain requirements that we periodically may establish. We will track the volume and amount of sales generated by your site and will make unedited reports, summarizing this sales activity, available to you through the Affiliate Program. The form, content, and frequency of the reports may vary from time to time in our discretion. To permit accurate tracking, reporting, and fee accrual, you must ensure that the Links between your site and our site are properly formatted.

4. Commissions.

We will pay you the commission rate stated in the Affiliate Program page, (the "Commission Rate") of the Net Sales to us by users of your site who purchase Artwork utilizing the Links between our site and your site, excluding amounts collected by us for sales taxes, duties, shipping, handling, gift wrapping and similar charges ("Net Sales"). The Commission Rate is subject to change at any time or from time to time, in our sole and absolute discretion. You will be notified of any change in the Commission Rate, pursuant to the provisions of Section 11 of this Agreement. Net Sales will also be reduced for amounts due to credit card fraud, bad debts and credits for returned goods. A commission will only be paid if the visitor to our site is tracked by the system from the time of the Link to the time of the sale. No commission will be paid if the visitor to our site cannot be tracked by our system.

Only Artwork that is sold by us (to users of your site through Links to our site), shipped to a customer and for which we have received full payment will qualify for a commission. For a sale to generate a commission, the customer must follow the Link from your site to our site, purchase the product or products in question using our online ordering system, accept delivery of the item at the shipping destination, and remit full payment to us.

5. Commission Payment.

We will pay you commissions on a monthly basis. Approximately sixty (60) days following the end of each month, we will send you payment for the commissions earned on Artwork that we shipped during that month, less any taxes that we are required by law to withhold. However, if the commissions payable to you for any month are less than fifty dollars ($50.00) (the "Commission Payment Floor"), we will hold those commissions until the total amount due is at least equal to the Commission Payment Floor. If Artwork that generated a commission is returned by the customer, we will deduct the corresponding commission from your next monthly payment. If there is no subsequent payment, we will send you a bill for the fee, which bill must be paid upon receipt. The Commission Payment Floor is subject to change at any time or from time to time, in our sole and absolute discretion. You will be notified of any change in the Commission Payment Floor, pursuant to the provisions of Section 11 of this Agreement.
