The term of this agreement will begin once you have filled out the Queendom Qare Qommunity affiliate program registration form and will end upon notice of termination from either you or Queendom Qare.

Rights and Restrictions

1. We reserve the right to reject any affiliate after registration, thereby terminating the account. If we have opted to accept or reject your acceptance as an affiliate we will notify you by e-mail within a 24-48-hour time frame. Queendom Qare will exercise their own discretion and may decide to decline any application we see necessary.
   1. All affiliates are required to be of legal age to enter into a contractual agreement.
   2. As part of this agreement, all affiliates who are accruing active commissions must do so through a visible Queendom Qare banner, link or other forwarding method on a publicly viewable website, newsletter, blog, etc. Failure to do so may result in a terminated account.
   3. Affiliates are prohibited from using any combination of the words “Queendom” and/or “Qare” in the url/web address or title of their website. Affiliates may not purchase or register any search terms, keywords, or other identifiers that include the phrase “Queendom Qare” or “Queendom Care” or “Queens/ Queen’s/Queens’ Qare/Care” or any rearrangement of the aforementioned words for use in any search engine, directory, portal, sponsored advertising service, or other search service. If we determine that you have engaged in any of the above activities, we may, at our sole discretion, withhold any commissions otherwise payable to you under this Agreement and/or terminate this Agreement.

Affiliates should regularly create original content for their site or provide rich informational resources related to herbs, herbalism, women’s womb, head or feet wellness, holistic health, DIY remedies, natural health, herbal teas, ancient or present day African healing culture and traditions, etc.

Cancellation

1. The affiliate account may be cancelled by Queendom Qare at any time for any reason we feel appropriate. This is usually the result of slander, misrepresentation made to us, spam e-mail used to promote the affiliate, posting Queendom Qare links on unapproved websites, uploading affiliate code through the use of unapproved methods, or sites that we feel might bring Queendom Qare disrepute, etc. An issued warning letter in the form of e-mail, fax or letter will be sent first. If no reparations have been made, then the affiliates account with Queendom Qare will be terminated.
   1. All affiliates may cancel their account with Queendom Qare at any time and for any reason.

Access to Account Management Services

1. Immediately after your acceptance into the Queendom Qare affiliate program you will be e-mailed links, passwords, and the related information necessary to gain access to your control panel. From here you may manage your account and set its parameters. We suggest you keep these invaluable links in a safe place and in a place that is easily accessible by you. If for any reason you lose this information, we will be able to re-send it to you.

Use of Graphics and Links, Limitations of Use, and Cookie Periods

1. Only HTML code and approved linking information is to be used for the affiliate’s website. Failure to do so will result in misappropriated commissions. All the links, graphics, and account management information will be provided to the affiliate after their registration into the program. In no way is the affiliate to use graphics or links not approved by Queendom Qare.
   1. Once a viewer clicks on an affiliate link and places an order with Queendom Qare, that viewer becomes the sole customer of Queendom Qare. The affiliate will not have access to the customer’s account information, contact information, and will not be allowed to communicate with customer regarding their order/s placed with Queendom Qare. Queendom Qare is responsible for all customer service, fulfillment, processing, shipping, and after-order inquiries made with the customer.
   2. This agreement does not constitute a joint venture, partnership, franchise, or other representative business of Queendom Qare. The affiliate is being paid as an independent contractor and in no way is this to be interpreted as representation or endorsement by Queendom Qare.

   4. The use of Queendom Qare affiliate links, or links referring to a particular affiliate link is strictly prohibited through the use of junk mail, email server programs, spam, hit distribution networks, pay-per-click programs, or through mass distribution in chat rooms, on Queendom Qare social networking sites, etc. Queendom Qare holds sole discretion on what is termed as “inappropriate use” and may at any time close an account if we are given information on inappropriate use.
   5. The cookie period for the Queendom Qare affiliate program is exactly 30 days. After this 30-day period the viewer must come back to the affiliate’s website and proceed to click a link for commission to be earned.
   6. Commissions will not be reported or recorded by viewers who have set their cookie protection settings to a high standard. This may block and prevent the necessary cookies from being installed thus preventing the accrual of commissions that you as the affiliate may earn.
   7. Queendom Qare 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.
   8. Affiliates are solely responsible for the development, operation, maintenance, and technical operation of their sites including all materials that appear on their sites and related equipment.

International Affiliates

1. We welcome affiliates from the international community but payouts to international affiliates from Queendom Qare will be made through PayPal. There are NO exceptions. If you are unable to accept US funds in a PayPal account, then we will be unable to pay you the commission earned, and your account will be terminated. All payments are made around the first of the month.

Payment

1. Monthly payout to the affiliate will accrue in their account until a minimum of $50.00 has been met. We will not make payments or reimbursements to affiliates for amounts under $50.00. This helps us manage over-head and accounting fees.
   1. The commission to the affiliates is based on 15% of the subtotal for each order. You will not receive a commission on shipping charges.
   2. Commissions can be voided within your account for reasons which we will feel are appropriate. This is usually the result of fraudulent orders, excessive clicks from the same IP address, declines from the referred customer’s credit card, or other reasons that facilitate garnishment of commission. If this occurs you will be notified immediately.
   3. We will not be responsible for lost commissions due to improper coding or inoperative links. Queendom Qare is also not responsible for sales lost through technical issues, such as, service outages, service interruptions, website updates, and server updates.
   4. Payments will only be made through PayPal. Please use an active PayPal email address to sign up for your account.

Fraudulent Orders and Orders Outstanding

1. It is possible that we may receive an order that is illegitimate and fraudulent. This usually takes place with a stolen or dispossessed credit card. If we receive an order that we have conclusive evidence of being fraudulent, we will cancel the order entirely and decommission your account for the 15%. If this is to occur, you will be notified immediately.
   1. Queendom Qare reserves the right to decide whether a viewer from your site will be serviced, sold to, or otherwise catered to.

Queendom Qare is not responsible for the creation of the links, which may be posted on your site and will only be involved surrounding editorial review. You also agree to fully cooperate to work with Queendom Qare to maintain and manage links.
   2. All content on the affiliate’s website including links, banners, text, etc., leading to any or all content within the Queendom Qare website is the sole responsibility of the affiliate. Because of the constantly changing nature of the Queendom Qare website, we hold it to be the affiliates responsibility to update and manage their own links leading to the Queendom Qare website. We are not responsible for alerting the affiliate or making recommendations on when we anticipate changing the links or directions to content on the Queendom Qare website.
   3. If Queendom Qare believes that fraudulent clicks have been recorded within your account as a result of masking links, multiple clicks or through embedding the code in a hidden fashion within your pages, or if the commission links have been exploited in any other way, we reserve the right to cancel any or all commissions and if necessary, close the account.

IRS Responsibilities

1. All affiliates are required to provide Social Security numbers or tax ID numbers at signup.
   1. Once an affiliate has accrued over $600.00 dollars in commission payouts, we require a social security number, for United States citizens, of the affiliate who is receiving payments from Queendom Qare. The IRS requires us to submit a 1099 tax form for contracted business services and because the affiliate is paid and recognized as a “contractor”, this information needs to be accurately gathered and submitted to the IRS. If an affiliate fails to provide this information or wishes to omit this information the affiliates account will be terminated.
