accessing and utilizing any of the Income Access' Marketing Tools, or accepting
of any reward, bonus or commission whether contained in this agreement or else
where on our web site, you are deemed to have agreed to be bound by all the
terms and conditions set out in this agreement. For purposes of clarity, the
terms "we" and "us" refer to Income Access and
"you" and "Member" refers to the other party to the
contract formed by the acceptance of these Terms and Conditions. The term
"Merchant" is defined as any company that has contracted Income

ENROLMENT
To enrol, please read this Agreement and then submit a complete Income Access
Member Account application to us via our Web site. We will evaluate your
application and notify you whether your application was accepted. Your
application will be rejected if we determine, in our sole discretion, that your
site is unsuitable for any reason, including but not limited to, sites that are
under construction, aimed at children, promote sexually explicit materials,
promote violence, promote discrimination based on race, sex, religion,
nationality, disability, sexual orientation, or age, promote illegal
activities, or violate intellectual property rights.
MEMBER AGREEMENT
During the term of this arrangement (which shall commence when you indicate
your acceptance in the manner specified above, and shall end when either you or
we notify the other, by email, of the termination of this Agreement), you shall
display a banner or banners provided by Income Access on your site (the
"Member site") as a hyperlink to direct Visitors from the Member Site
to the Merchant's Sites, using distinct URLs supplied by Income Access
exclusively for linking (the "Supplied Banners").
The Merchant's banners shall be displayed at least as prominently as any other
sales link on the Member site, and if the Member displays or makes accessible
to Visitors descriptive information regarding any vendors whose banners are
displayed on the Member site, the Member shall, subject to Income Access' prior
written approval of the content thereof, include similar descriptive
information regarding the Merchant's Site(s).
The relationship specified in this Agreement is non-exclusive for both parties;
therefore, the Member shall be entitled to display the banners of, and provide
links to, sites of other companies through the Member site, and Income Access
shall be entitled to make the Merchant's banners available through online and
other services than the Member site.
DELIVERY AND DISPLAY OF BANNERS, COPY, AND PROMOTIONAL MATERIAL
As a Member, you will have access through Income Access' site to a variety of
graphic and textual links (each of these links sometimes being referred to
herein as "Links" or, individual, as a "Link".)
Income Access and the Merchant hereby grants to the Member the non-exclusive,
non-transferable, non-assignable (except as provided below) rights, during the
term of this Agreement, to use (which shall include the right to copy,
transmit, distribute, display and perform both privately and publicly):
Income Access' and the Merchant's banners, name, site name, and other related
textual and graphic material are made available by Income Access and/or the
Merchant to the Member for the express purpose of inclusion on the Member's
site from time to time (collectively, the "Merchant's Material") and
for the specific purposes authorized above. Income Access and the Merchant
authorize the Member to advertise and promote their respective promotional
material. The copywriting of promotions may not be modified nor misrepresented
by the Member.
Income Access and the Merchant also authorizes the Member to refer, in the
Member's advertising and promotions, to the fact that the Income Access and
Merchant's sites are accessible through the Member site, provided that any such
statement:
(a) does not include any trademarks, service marks, design marks, symbols
and/or other indicia of origin of Income Access or the Merchant other than
Income Access or the Merchant's Site(s) name and/or site names in a
non-distinctive typeface (specifically, not the typeface used in the logo
design of any of Income Access' or the Merchant's mark);
(b) does not state, suggest, or imply, by the wording or prominence of such
statement or otherwise, that the Merchant sponsors, authorizes, and/or is the
source or origin of the Member site; and (c) does not disparage Income Access
or the Merchant, its products, services, or members. All use of the Income
Access or Merchant's Materials hereunder shall inure to the benefit of the
Merchant and shall not create any rights, title or interest in them for the
Member. No other use of the Income Access or Merchant's names, trademarks,
service marks, design marks, symbols and/or other indicia of origin or other designations
confusingly similar to any of the foregoing may be made by the Member for any
purpose without the prior written approval of Income Access or the Merchant.
As between the Merchant and the Member, the Merchant owns, and shall continue
to own exclusively, all right title and interest (including without limitation,
all rights provided under the law of copyright and trademark) in and to the
Merchant's Materials and all names, trademarks, service marks, design marks,
symbols and/or other indicia of origin therein throughout the world and in
perpetuity, subject to the permissions granted in this Agreement.
MAINTAINING THE LINKS

Links between Your Site and the Income Access Site or the Merchant's Site(s).

graphics and/or text associated with the Links to the Income Access Site or the
Merchant's Sites will be updated periodically and it will be necessary for you
to update the content of Your Site accordingly on a regular basis. Please be

you are following the terms and conditions of this Agreement and to notify you
of any changes to Your Site that we feel should be made.

material from Income Access. If you

not be responsible for any damages that may occur from members opting out of
communications.
SPAM - WE DO NOT CONDONE SPAM
Any form of spam will result in your account being closed and all funds due
being withheld. You need to be aware that our Merchants are liable to incur
expenses in dealing with spam generated mail and these same expenses will be
deducted from your account should our Merchant seek recourse. In this instance
the amount determined by the relative Merchant will be fair and deemed final
and acceptable based on good faith and such amount will be collectable by law
and deemed to have been accepted by yourself as fair and reasonable and as
agreed to by registration as an affiliate of Income Access. Should these
expenses not be covered by funds in your account we reserve the right to
investigate other alternative means for obtaining payment including recourse to
file a claim against you for unpaid amounts.
GOOD FAITH

using accepted Internet marketing practices whether or not it causes Income
Access or the Merchant harm. Should fraudulent activity, knowingly or
otherwise, arise from a person directed to Merchant's site via your link, we
retain the right to retract the commissions paid to you at any time. Our
decision in this regard will be final and no correspondence will be entered
into. We reserve the right to retain all amounts due to you under this
Agreement if we have reasonable cause to believe that such traffic has been
caused with your knowledge.

conditions. Income Access does not
process your payments for commissions this is the responsibility of the merchant.
