This Agreement contains the complete terms and conditions that apply to your participation as a member of the SpankingMoney.com Program (the “Program”) operated by Alpine Entertainment Group, Inc. (hereinafter, “Company,” “we” or “us”). As used in this Agreement, “you” or “your” means the applicant/participating member.
THIS IS A LEGAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND COMPANY. By Joining SpankingMoney.com as an affilate YOU ARE STATING THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH HEREIN AND ARE INDICATING YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AFFILIATE PROGRAM AGREEMENT AND YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS HEREOF. YOU CANNOT BECOME A MEMBER OF THE AFFILIATE PROGRAM UNLESS YOU HAVE ACCEPTED EACH AND EVERY TERM HEREOF.

1. Enrollment in SpankingMoney.com.
To begin the enrollment process, you will join the affiliate program through our website http://www.SpankingMoney.com. We will reject your application if we determine that you have provided inaccurate or incomplete signup information, determine that you are under 18 years of age (21 in some jurisdictions) or determine that your site is unsuitable for the Program for any reason, including, but not limited to, if your site incorporates images or content that is unlawful, defamatory, obscene, harassing or otherwise objectionable, such as sites that facilitate illegal activity or promote violence or promote or assist others in promoting copyright infringement (collectively, “Content Restrictions”). Again, you must be at least eighteen (18) years of age (or older if legal age of majority is more than 18) to participate in this Program.

2. Utilizing Links on Your Site.
As an affiliate website of COMPANY (“Affiliate Site”), you may use any form of promotion you choose, consistent with the terms of this Agreement. You may use banner advertisements, button links and/or text links to our site (the “Links”), however, you cannot employ deceptive language or misleading URLs in the Links, and you CANNOT MARKET BY SENDING UNSOLICITED BULK E-MAILS!!! (As used herein, UBE, or “Spam” refers to the transmission of unsolicited bulk e-mails, i.e., not derived from a verifiable opt-in program or sent absent a prior business relationship with the recipient). Any activity by you or on your behalf that we determine or reasonably suspect to be the result of an unsolicited bulk e-mail program will result in your immediate termination from the Program and your forfeiting of monies otherwise due you hereunder. (For further guidelines on this topic, please see Section 5, below.) Allowable promotional links may contain COMPANY’s trade names, service marks, and/or logos for display on your Affiliate Site. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, you are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and download such Links and other designated promotional materials for placement on your Affiliate Site for the sole and exclusive purpose of promoting websites owned, operated or controlled by COMPANY. In utilizing the Links, you agree that you will cooperate fully with us in order to establish and maintain such Link or Links. A Link may only be visually modified with our consent.

3. Commissions.
Currently the commision rate for each website is 50% of the initial signup charge and 50% of the recurring charge, as long as the referring customer is a member.

The Commission Rate is subject to change from time to time, upon e-mail notice to you. Note that a commission will only be paid if the visitor to our site can be tracked by the system from the time of the Link to the time of the sale. No commission will be paid if the visitor’s payment to our site cannot be tracked directly to your site by our system or if full payment for services is not made to us by the customer. No commission will be paid for signups by you or anyone within your organization.

4. Commission Payment.
Currently commissions are paid by CCbill, our billing processor. Commissions due and owing to you under the Program will be paid to you directly by CCbill on a weekly basis for the prior week’s activity. Payments due and owing to you for a pay period of less than $25.00 will be rolled over into subsequent payment periods until at least $25.00 is reached, at which time you will receive payment. Payments will be in the form of a check in US dollars payable to you, as identified in your application, and will be mailed to the street address indicated in your application.

5. NO PASSWORD SITES
We have the right to immediately, and without notice, terminate your participation in the Program if we, in our sole and exclusive judgment, conclude that you use a illegal PASSWORD SITE to advertise SpankingMoney.com, YOU WILL BE BARRED FROM FUTURE PARTICIPATION IN THE PROGRAM AND ALL FUNDS OTHERWISE DUE TO YOU WILL BE FORFEITED TO THE COMPANY.

6. ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY REGARDING BULK E-MAILINGS
We do allow Webmasters to market websites promoted through this Program through the transmission of bulk e-mails, however, it is extremely important that any such mass e-mailings by you conform to our policies. Moreover, you need to be aware of the fact that many service providers, such as America Online, Inc. (AOL), have their own standards and policies when it comes to mass mailings to their members. By way of example, please familiarize yourself with AOLs policy, as most mass mailings will reach at least some, and potentially many, AOL members (e.g., --------@aol.com) http://www.aol.com/info/bulkemail.html.

The marketing of websites promoted by this Program is strictly prohibited if done through the transmission of unsolicited bulk email. In other words, you must have a prior business relationship with the e-mail recipient, including but not limited to having obtained their e-mail address through a verifiable opt-in procedure. We strongly encourage you to maintain electronic records of the manner in which you obtain e-mail addresses for use in mailings. This is because, if we receive a complaint from a person who received a promotional e-mailing from you, you will need to demonstrate to us that such person did not receive unsolicited bulk e-mail from you. We also strictly prohibit you from transmitting e-mail that makes use of or contains invalid or forged headers, invalid or non-existent domain names or other means of deceptive addressing (“counterfeit e-mail”). Do NOT do this. We also strictly prohibit you from transmitting e-mail that is relayed from any third party's mail servers without the permission of that third party, or which employs similar techniques to hide or obscure the source of the e-mail. Do NOT do this.

The transmission of unsolicited bulk e-mail, including the transmission of counterfeit e-mail, may result in civil and criminal penalties against the sender under applicable federal and/or state law. We do NOT authorize the harvesting or collection of screen names from any ISP service (for example, AOL) for the purpose of sending unsolicited e-mail, and will terminate without pay any webmaster determined to have transmitted bulk emails advertising any websites marketed through this Program to lists gathered by such methods. Should we determine, in our sole discretion that you have violated this AUP, be assured that you will be terminated immediately, will be ineligible to sign up for another account, will not be paid for any traffic or subscriptions generated prior to the date of termination; and your registration information may be turned over to complaining parties (including AOL).

HOW TO REPORT UNSOLICITED BULK E-MAIL
