By applying for and being accepted into our affiliate program, you agree to be bound by all of the terms and conditions set forth in this agreement.

THIS AFFILIATE AGREEMENT (the “Agreement) is made between Miraclesoap, Inc., a South Dakota Corporation (the “Company”), and (the “Affiliate,” and collectively, the “Parties”).

WHEREAS Affiliate wishes to include certain materials promoting Company, and to include a link to Company’s website within those materials on Affiliate’s website;

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises, covenants, warranties, and other good and valuable consideration set forth herein, the Parties agree as follows:

  1. Promotional Materials.   Company shall make available to Affiliate certain banner advertisements, button links, text links, and/or other graphic or textual material for display and use on the Affiliate website (the “Promotional Materials”).  Affiliate shall prominently display the Promotional Materials on Affiliate’s website subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  Affiliate shall also include a link from the Promotional Materials to Company’s website, as specified by Company.

  2. Use of Promotional Materials.  The Affiliate’s use and display of the Promotional Materials on the Affiliate’s site shall conform to the following terms, conditions and specifications:

    1. Affiliate may not use any graphic, textual or other materials to promote Company’s website, products or services other than the Promotional Materials, unless Company agrees to such other materials in writing prior to their display.

    2. Affiliate may only use the Promotional Materials for the purpose of promoting Company’s website (and the products and services available thereon), and for linking to Company’s website.

    3. The Promotional Materials will be used to link only to Company’s website, to the specific page and address as specified by Company.

    4. Affiliate will not alter, add to, subtract from, or otherwise modify the Promotional Materials as they are prepared by Company.  If Affiliate wishes to alter or otherwise modify the Promotional Materials, Affiliate must obtain prior written consent from Company for such alteration of modification.
  1. License.  Company hereby grants to Affiliate a nonexclusive, nontransferable license (the “License”) to use the Promotional Materials as specified under the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  The term of the License shall expire upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

  2. Intellectual Property.  Company retains all right, ownership, and interest in the Promotional Materials, and in any copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property in the Promotional Materials.  Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to grant Affiliate any rights, ownership or interest in the Promotional Materials, or in the underlying intellectual property, other than the rights to use the Promotional Materials granted under the License, as set forth in Section 3.

  3. Relationship of Parties.  This Agreement shall not be construed to create any employment relationship, agency relationship, or partnership between Company and Affiliate.  Affiliate shall provide services for Company as an independent contractor.  Affiliate shall have no authority to bind Company into any agreement, nor shall Affiliate be considered to be an agent of Company in any respect.

  4. Order Processing: We will process orders placed by customers who follow the Links from Affiliate’s Web site to the Miraclesoap.com Web site. We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to reject orders that do not comply with requirements established from time to time. All aspects of order processing and fulfillment, including order entry, customer service, cancellations, returns and payment processing will be Company’s responsibility.

  5. Commissions.

    1. In consideration of Affiliate’s display of the Promotional Materials and compliance with and performance of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Company shall pay to Affiliate a commission (the “Commission”) as set forth in this section.

      1. A Commission will be paid to Affiliate in the amount of 25% per sale (not including tax or shipping) for products listed on Company’s website if the customer’s initial order is tracked as originating from Affiliate’s Link from the time of the Link to the time of the sale (the “initial sale”).

      2. For the initial sale to generate commissions payable under this section, the customer must follow Affiliate’s Link to Company’s Web site, purchase Company products using Company’s online ordering system, accept delivery of the product at the shipping destination, and remit full payment to Company. However, no Commission will be paid for orders that are refunded, not paid for, undeliverable or payment for which is credited to any customer. If a product sale that generated Commission is refunded to the customer, Company will deduct the corresponding Commission from Affiliate’s next monthly payment.

      3. The Affiliate shall be entitled to a Commission arising from customer’s purchase of Company products for a period of 365 days from the initial sale regardless whether customer accesses Affiliate’s link for subsequent orders; provided, however, if customer uses a different Affiliate link during the 365-day period, the original Affiliate shall no longer be entitled to Commissions.

    2. Company shall keep accurate and up-to-date records of the data used to determine the total amount of Commissions owed to Affiliate. Affiliate shall be given reasonable access to these records upon request. Any discrepancy between the amount of Commissions owed according to these records, and the actual amount of Commissions paid to Affiliate in any period or periods shall be rectified by Company within 14 days of discovering such discrepancy. Affiliate shall immediately inform Miraclesoap.com of any suspected problems in the tracking code immediately.

    3. Company shall pay all Commissions accrued and payable to Affiliate within 15 days of the first day of each month (the “Commission Payment Date”). If on any Commission Payment Date, the amount of total Commissions accrued and payable to Affiliate is less than $25.00, then such accrued and payable balance shall be held over to the following month, and paid together with the Commissions due for that month. If at any time, the balance of accrued and payable Commissions is held over for 2 consecutive months, then Company shall pay all accrued and payable Commissions to Affiliate in the third month, regardless of the total amount owed.

    4. In the event that Affiliate materially breaches this Agreement and Company terminates this Agreement due to such breach, then any accrued and payable Commissions owing to Affiliate shall be forfeited, and Company shall not be obligated to pay such Commissions to Affiliate.

    5. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither Miraclesoap distributors or PTPH Essential Oil distributors shall be entitled to make purchases under this Affiliate program or be eligible or receive any Commissions under this Agreement. The determination of which persons or entities are considered Miraclesoap or PTPH Essential Oil distributors will be made in the sole discretion of the Company.
