Welcome to The Planning Shop Affiliate Marketing Program. This is The Planning Shop Affiliate Marketing Program Agreement ("Agreement"). This Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions under which The Planning Shop makes The Planning Shop Affiliate Marketing Program ("Affiliate Program") available to you. By joining The Planning Shop Affiliate Marketing Program, you expressly agree to be bound by and follow all terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. If you do not agree to be bound by this Agreement, your sole recourse is not to participate in the Affiliate Program.

The Planning Shop reserves the right to add, delete and/or modify any of the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, at any time and in its sole discretion, by posting a change notice or a new agreement on The Planning Shop Web Site. If any modification is unacceptable to you, your only recourse is to terminate this Agreement and your participation in the Affiliate Program.

1. General Rules

This Agreement contains the complete terms and conditions that apply to your participation as an affiliate with The Planning Shop Affiliate Marketing Program, and the establishment of links from your Web site to The Planning Shop’s Web site. As used in this Agreement, "we," "us" or "The Planning Shop" means Rhonda, Inc. dba The Planning Shop, and "you," "your" or "Affiliate," means the affiliate.

1. Term and Termination

The term of this Agreement (the "Term") will begin upon our acceptance of your site in The Planning Shop Affiliate Marketing Program and your acceptance of this Agreement. Either you or we may terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause. You are only eligible to earn commissions on sales occurring during the Term, and commissions earned through the date of termination will remain payable only if the product orders are not cancelled. The Planning Shop may withhold final payment for a reasonable time to ensure against cancellations.

2. Promotion
  1. The Planning Shop will make available to you a variety of graphic and textual links (the "Links" collectively, or "Link" individually) in order to promote products from The Planning Shop and to link to The Planning Shop Web site. You and we will cooperate in good faith to develop and implement such Links. Each Link will permit recipients to navigate directly to a page on The Planning Shop Web site designated by us via a special tagged link format.
  2. You agree to use such Links in a manner that demonstrates common sense and respect for the rights of The Planning Shop and third parties. Furthermore, you agree that no link will be placed on any page or screen that contains content that: advocates discrimination based on race, sex, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation, or age; promotes or engages in illegal activities; contains sexual, violent, or other inappropriate content; violates intellectual property rights of third parties; or contains or promotes deceptive or misleading information.
  3. You will be responsible for integrating the Links into your site to promote The Planning Shop products and to properly enable tracking sales. We will not be responsible for your failure to do so or to the extent such failure may result in any reductions of amounts that would otherwise be paid to you under this Agreement.
3. Referral Fees
  1. The Planning Shop will pay you referral fees ("Referral Fees") based upon a percentage of the aggregate Net Proceeds received from the sale of Qualifying Products actually purchased from The Planning Shop as a result of Links placed on your Web Site. The term "Qualifying Products" will mean all products that are purchased by users during a visit to The Planning Shop website following navigation to the designated Planning Shop URL through a hypertext link from your website. When a user clicks on The Planning Shop Links from your website, a “cookie” is placed on the user’s computer, enabling tracking of purchases for a period of up to thirty (30) days.
  2. Referral Fees will not be payable on sales if the user’s browser does not accept cookies, the user removes the cookie from their computer, or the cookie is later overwritten by the Affiliate Program software due to the user clicking through from another Affiliate Program Web Site, or on sales otherwise made from The Planning Shop where the cookie can not be tracked, even if the customer previously purchased a Qualifying Product or Service.
  3. The term "Net Proceeds" will mean the gross proceeds received by The Planning Shop from the sale of Qualifying Products and Services on The Planning Shop Web Site, less costs and expenses attributable to taxes, shipping and handling, returns, fraud and bad debts, duties, gift wrapping and credit card processing. (For purposes of calculating Net Proceeds, credit card sales will be subject to a flat deduction of 3% of the gross sale price).
  4. As of the date of this Agreement, Referral Fees are paid according to the following schedule:
    1. i. 15% of the Net Proceeds received by The Planning Shop during the Term;
  5. We may change our Referral Fees at any time, without notice. The amount of Referral Fees we pay to you will be based on the applicable Referral Fee on the date earned.
4. Payment Schedule

Referral fees will be payable within ninety (90) days from the end of each calendar quarter. If during any calendar quarter of the Term your referral fees do not exceed fifty dollars ($50.00), then you will not receive payments until following the calendar quarter during which your aggregate referrals fees equal or exceed said amount.
