    Please note that “we”, “us”, and “our” refers to Q-Link and “you”, “yours”, “your” refers to the applicant. The term of this agreement will begin once you are accepted into the Q-Link Affiliate program and will end upon notice of termination from either you or Q-Link.

    1.

    2. We reserve the right to accept or reject any affiliate we review. All new affiliate requests will be reviewed and decided upon within 24-48 hours. Q-Link will exercise its own discretion during the decision making process and may decide to decline any application we see as necessary.

    3. All affiliates are required to be of legal age to enter into a contractual agreement.

    4. Affiliates may not incorporate Q-Link trademarks in any domain name, meta tag, or other hidden text in a web page without prior written authorization from Q-Link. Furthermore, Q-Link Affiliates may not use or incorporate Q-Link trademarks in any internet advertising keyword, Ad Word, hashtag, or other term used to trigger advertising or search engine results without prior written permission from Q-Link.

    9. Affiliate accounts and/or commissions are non-transferable. The affiliate account will belong to the original registered owner until such time as the account is canceled by either party.

    10. Select links, graphics, banners and account management information are provided to the affiliate upon their acceptance into the program. Affiliates wishing to utilize other graphics or banners shall submit them to Q-Link for approval. Q-Link may at any time refuse any particular link, text or referring graphic used to forward a viewer to the Q-Link website.

    11. Affiliate referred orders placed on the Q-Link website become a customer of Q-Link. Affiliate will not have access to the customer’s account information, contact information, and are not permitted to communicate with the customer in regards to their orders placed with Q-Link. Q-Link is responsible for all customer service, fulfillment, processing, shipping and after-order inquiries made with the customer.

    12. This agreement does not constitute a joint venture, partnership, franchise, or other representative business of Q-Link. The affiliate is being paid as an independent contractor and in no way is this to be interpreted as representation or endorsement by Q-Link.

    13. The use of Q-Link’s affiliate links, or links referring to a particular affiliate link is strictly prohibited through the use of junk mail, e-mail server programs, spam, hit distribution networks, pay-per-click programs, or through mass distribution in chat rooms or other like channels. Q-Link shall hold sole discretion on what is termed as “inappropriate use” and may at any time close an account if we receive information on inappropriate use.

    14. The cookie period for the Q-Link affiliate program is exactly 90 days. After this 90 day period the referred visitor must come back to the affiliate’s website and proceed to click a link for commission to be earned. Affiliates that referred a successful order in the past will receive future commissions if that same customer returns to our site and places subsequent orders, as long as that customer is using the same email address as the original order. 

    15. Commissions may not be reported or recorded by referred visitors who have set their cookie protection settings to a high standard which may block and prevent the necessary cookies from being installed thus preventing the accrual of commissions. Q-Link is not responsible for sales lost through high-security settings, firewall parameters, or any other settings or equipment which prevent the necessary cookies from being installed.

    18. All commission payouts will be distributed in USD to the PayPal email address provided at registration within the first week of each month.  On request, Q-Link may consider payments made via direct deposit.

    19. Affiliate commissions are 20% of the product only total, after discounts are calculated (if any), and excluding any taxes or shipping collected.

    20. Commissions may be voided within your account for reasons we will feel are appropriate and can be the result of fraudulent orders, excessive clicks from the same IP address, declines from the referred customer’s credit card, etc.

    21. In the event we receive and process an Affiliate referred order found to be illegitimate and fraudulent, we will cancel the order entirely and reduce your commission accordingly. Q-Link reserves the right to decide whether or not a viewer from your site will be serviced, sold to or otherwise catered to.
