All email messages must be sent via Affiliate's email system(s) and from Affiliate and must not represent, whether explicitly or implicitly, that the email is being sent from or on behalf of Company.

f. Promotions via social media platforms, whether via organic (posts, etc.) or paid (ads, CPC, etc.) mechanisms, are permitted and encouraged, provided they adhere to these general guidelines:

-  Promotions must comply with the FTC Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising and native advertising guidelines.
-  Promotions must comply with the guidelines and terms of the social media platform where content is posted.

-  Affiliate may not bid on any of Company's Trademarks, including any variations or misspellings thereof for search or content-based campaigns on Google, Bing, MSN, Yahoo, Facebook or any other network unless Affiliate has received written permission from Company first.
-  Affiliate may not use Company's Trademarks, including any variations or misspellings as per above, in sequence with any other keyword.
-  Affiliate may not use Company's Trademarks in Affiliate's ad title, ad copy, display name or as the display url.
-  Affiliate may not bid in any manner appearing higher than Company for any search term in position 1-5 in any auction style PPC advertising program.

Company has a strict no-tolerance policy on PPC trademark bidding. If discovered brand bidding on PPC campaigns, Affiliate will be sent an email asking to remove the ads in question within 24 hours. If the ads are not removed within 24 hours Affiliate will be removed from the Affiliate Program permanently and all Commissions associated with the violations will be reversed. 
-  Without limitation, Affiliate is prohibited from using healthtalksonline.com, hto.care, healthmeans.com or any other Company-owned domain as a display URL.

g. Affiliate will be solely responsible for the development, operation and maintenance of Affiliates' site and for all materials that appear on Affiliates' site. Company shall have no responsibility for the development, operation and maintenance of Affiliate's site and for all materials that appear on Affiliates' site. Affiliate shall also be responsible for ensuring that materials posted on Affiliate's site do not violate or infringe upon any laws, including but not limited to 18 U.S.C. Section 2257, or the rights of any third party (including, for example, copyrights, trademarks, privacy, or other personal or proprietary rights), and ensuring that materials posted on Affiliate's site are not libelous or otherwise illegal.

2.	Compensation:

a. Affiliate's Commission shall be equal to up to Fifty Percent 50% of the sale or amount provided per event promotion for the life of the referral ("Commission(s)").  For purposes of illustration only, if Affiliate sends 100 registrations, and of those, 8 people purchase at $100 per transaction, at the 50% commission level, Affiliate would receive $50 * 8 = $400 in commissions.  The Commission structure is subject to change at any time, in Company's sole and absolute discretion.

b. Company will be responsible for processing orders and will handle all customer service issues directly related to Company's websites, marketing collateral, digital and physical assets, properties, employees, legal agents, or authorized representatives. Company will track direct sales via Affiliate Links within Affiliate's promotions to Company's Program.

c. Only items that were purchased by customers who use Affiliate's Affiliate Link(s) are considered eligible for Commissions. Company will be responsible for processing orders and will handle all customer service issues directly related to Company's websites, marketing collateral, digital and physical assets, properties, employees, legal agents, or authorized representatives. 

d. Commissions will be tracked via dedicated unique links provided by Company. Affiliate is required to use the link provided in advance of the promotion, in order to enable proper tracking. Commissions cannot be paid if Affiliate fails to use the correct link.  

e. Commissions will be paid for net revenue received less returns and chargebacks. Commissions will be automatically approved within sixty (60) days of the original sale and paid within thirty (30) days thereafter.  All payment processing shall be performed by Company via it's approved payment methods.

f. Affiliates must earn a minimum affiliate account balance of $50 or more before their account is eligible for payment. Commission amounts earned for less than $50 (for example, 1 sale for $48.50) will remain pending until the full $50 minimum balance has been earned. All sales still pending due to the minimum payment threshold must remain active and in good standing in accordance with the terms of Agreement to be eligible for payment. Sales that are found not to be valid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement at the time of the additional sale and earnings will be marked as invalid and not payable. Therefore, there will be the requirement of $50 in minimum earnings be valid per our sale requirements in accordance with the terms of this Agreement for payment to be sent.  There is a $50 minimum threshold for payment of Commissions. If Affiliate does not meet the minimum threshold of $50 within 180 days after the last qualified purchase was properly completed, Commission payments will be forfeited and Affiliate's Commission balance will revert to $0.

g. It is Affiliate's responsibility to provide Company with correct contact and payment information required to issue a Commission fee to Affiliate. If Company does not receive the necessary payment information within ninety (90) days of a commission fee being earned, that commission fee shall be deemed forfeited by the affiliate, and no payment will be issued. Affiliate is responsible for the payment of all taxes related to the Commissions earned by Affiliate under this agreement. Any address changes must be made in the affiliate profile in the affiliate console at least three (3) business days prior to the end of the calendar month for commissions for that month to be sent to the revised address.

3.	Content:

Affiliate may use content provided by Company as described in this Agreement as long as they remain active Affiliates of Company.  For purposes of this section, an Affiliate shall be deemed to be "active" so long as they have earned a Commission on one or more purchases within the preceding 180 days and are in good standing.

In addition to the manner described in section 1 above, Company's content may be used by Affiliate as follows:  Articles, article summaries,  infographics, and videos that are provided by Company may be shared in emails to Affiliate's clients so long as they: (1) cite Company prominently as the source of that content and share it, unedited and unabridged, as presented; (2) link prominently to Company each time that content appears at least one time adjacent the content; (3) present only the benefits claimed on the Company marketing materials, and refrain from making any additional claims other than those expressly listed on the Company; and  (4) disclose that they are an Affiliate and may receive commissions for sales in a way that is FTC compliant.
