3.2. As a member of the OIES™ Affiliate Program, you will have access to the OIES™ Affiliate Management Center. At this site you will be able to change your affiliate preferences and download HTML code (that provides for links to Web pages within the OIES™ Web site). Graphics ("links") that we have made available for use in your Web site ("site") will always be available at our Downloads page.

Plus, in order for us to accurately keep track of guest visits from your site to ours, you must use the HTML code that we provide.
3.3. Additionally, only OIES™

provided to you.
3.4. You agree to fully cooperate with us in order to establish and maintain any links between the OIES™ site and your site.

If we update those graphics, you will need to replace our old graphics with the new ones.
3.5. The maintenance and the updating of your site will be your responsibility. Because you are a member of the OIES™ Affiliate Program, we may monitor your site as we feel necessary to make sure that your site is up-to-date and to notify you of any changes to your site that we feel should be made.
3.6. It is entirely your responsibility to follow all applicable intellectual property and other laws that pertain to your site. You must have express permission to use any person's copyrighted material, whether it be in writing, an image, or any other copyrightable work.

referrals.
4.3. We will be solely responsible for processing every order for our products. Customers will use our secure online ordering process. Order forms, payment processing, shipping, cancellations, returns, and related customer service are our responsibility.
4.4. We will be solely responsible
for tracking sales we make to customers who follow
links from your Web site. We use the third party

5. Termination
Either you or we may end this Agreement AT ANY
TIME, with or without cause, by giving the other
party written notice. Written notice can be in
the form of mail, e-mail or fax. In addition,
this Agreement will terminate immediately upon
any breach of this Agreement by you.
6. Modification
We may modify any of the terms and conditions
in this Agreement at any time at our sole discretion.
In such event you will be notified by e-mail and
a change notice will be posted in your Affiliate
Management Center. Modifications may include,
but are not limited to, changes in the payment
procedures and the OIES™ Affiliate Program rules.
If any modification is unacceptable to you, your
only option is to end this Agreement. Your continued
participation in the OIES™ Affiliate Program following
the posting of the change notice or new Agreement
on our site will indicate your agreement to the
changes.
7. Affiliate Fees
The OIES™ Affiliate Program follows a tiered commission
structure. Each month, you will earn 5% commission
on every 3 CD-ROMs sold that month, 10% commission
from 4 - 20 CD-ROMs, and 20% commission for 20
or more CD-ROMs. This excludes costs for shipping,
handling, taxes, service charges, and credit card
processing fees, returns and bad debt. You will
continue to receive commissions over a period
of 6 months for sales from a repeat customer who
you referred to our site. Any refunds or charge
backs, if any, to a customer referred through
your affiliate link will be deducted from your
credited commissions.
8. Payment
You will receive your commission payment provided
you have accumulated at least $100 in total earnings.
YOU MUST REQUEST PAYMENT FROM US BY EMAILING OUR
AFFILIATE
RELATIONS DEPARTMENT. However, if you reach
$500 in earnings you will automatically receive
a check from us. If the commission payable to
you is less than $100, we may at our option hold
this commissions until the total amount due is
at least $100 or (if earlier) until this Agreement
is terminated. We accept affiliates from all countries.
However, if you are not operating in the US or
Canada, you may request payment once you are owed
at least $200 in earnings. Once you reach $500
in earnings, you will automatically receive a
check from us. You may receive payment in one
of two ways (1) a check for referral fees earned,
or (2) a gift certificate good for your own or
your institution's purchases of the OIES™ titles.
(This in effect gives you a 10% discount!)
9. Access to Affiliate Center
You will be given a password so that you may enter
our secure Affiliate Management Center. From this
site you will be able to receive reports that
will describe our calculation of the commission
fees due you.
10. Promotion Restrictions
You are welcome to promote your own Web sites,
but naturally any promotion that mentions the
OIES™ Web site, could be perceived by the public
or the press as a joint effort. You should know
that certain forms of advertising are always prohibited
by JDP. For example, advertising commonly referred
to as "spamming" is unacceptable to us and could
cause damage to our brand name. Other generally
prohibited forms of advertising include the use
of unsolicited commercial e-mail (UCE), postings
to non-commercial newsgroups and cross-posting
to multiple newsgroups at once. In addition, you
may not advertise in any way that effectively
conceals or misrepresents your identity, your
domain name or your return email address. You
may use mailings to customers to promote the OIES™
Web site so long as the recipient is already a
customer or subscriber of your services or Web
site, and recipients have the option to remove
themselves from future mailings. Also, you may
post to newsgroups to promote the OIES™ Web site
so long as the news group specifically welcomes
commercial messages. No matter what, you must
always clearly represent yourself and your Web
sites as independent from JDP. If it comes to
our attention that you are spamming, we will consider
that cause for immediate termination of this Agreement
and your participation in the OIES™ Affiliate
Program. Any pending balances owed to you will
not be paid if your account is terminated due
to unacceptable advertising or solicitation.
