for any reason, including, but not limited to, inclusion of content
that is, in Our opinion, unlawful, harmful, threatening, defamatory,
obscene, harassing, or racially, ethnically, or otherwise

Affiliate Program utilizing the same domain name/URL if that domain
name/URL has been already been rejected nor may you reapply using a
different domain/URL name and then add the previously rejected
domain name/URL.
2. Promotion of Our Affiliate Relationship.
If You qualify and agree to participate as an Affiliate Site, We
will make available to You a variety of graphic and textual links
(each of these links sometimes being referred to herein as
“Links”or, individually, as a “Link”), which are subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Links will serve to
identify Your site as a member of the TERAPOWER Affiliate Program,
and will establish a link from Your site to Ours. In utilizing the
Links, You agree that You will cooperate fully with Us in order to
establish and maintain such Links. You also agree that You will
display on Your site only those graphic or textual images
(indicating a Link) provided by Us or text messages approved in
writing by TERAPOWER. All Affiliate Sites shall display such graphic
and/or textual images prominently in relevant sections of their
site. Any information with respect to Us that is going to be
displayed on Your site must be provided by Us or approved by Us in
writing in advance of any display. We may modify or expand all Links
from time to time throughout the term of this Agreement pursuant to
the mutual agreement of the parties to this Affiliate Agreement. You
are not allowed to post any coupon information unless We have given
You written permission to do so. Each Link connecting users of Your
site to the pertinent area of Our site will in no way alter the
look, feel, or functionality of Our site. In addition, We encourage
(but do not require) You to include a Link to the home page of Our
site.
3. Order Processing.
We will process orders placed by customers who follow the
Links from your Web site to the TERAPOWER Web site. We reserve the
right, in our sole discretion, to reject orders that do not comply
with certain requirements that we may establish from time to time.
All aspects of order processing and fulfillment, including customer
service, cancellation, processing, billing, and payment processing
will be Our responsibility. We will track the amount of sales
generated by your Web site and will make this information available
to you through our Web site at the following Web page:

through your Affiliate link;
Second tier: Fifteen percent (15%) of all commissions earned by
your “sub-affiliates,”which are affiliates who join the TERAPOWER

following restrictions. These restrictions apply to commissions
earned by you and your sub-affiliates.
- We will pay a commission one time only. That is, We will pay
a commission for a given customer for the first time he or she
becomes a TERAPOWER customer. However, We will not pay any
additional commission if that customer renews his or her hosting
service, upgrades to a higher level of hosting plan, or
purchases additional services from Us.
- In order for You to be eligible for commission for a
customer, a customer that You or one of your sub-affiliates
refer to Us must remain active as a customer of TERAPOWER for at
least thirty (30) from the date he or she pays for his or her
first order for TERAPOWER service. If the customer terminates
his or her TERAPOWER on or before the thirtieth (30 th) day, We
will not pay You a commission for that customer.
- We pay commissions only for completed sales. We do not pay
any commissions for leads.
- To be eligible for a commission payable to you, hosting
services must be purchased by a customer who has linked to Our
site from Your Web site, or the Web site of one of your
sub-affiliates and must be paid in full by the customer.
- No commissions are paid on any of the following items:
- Purchase of domain name registrations;
- Setup fees;
- Additional bandwidth or disk storage purchased by the
customer at the time of opening an account with TERAPOWER or at

any products or services from TERAPOWER.

withhold indefinitely or reject any affiliate commission for any
account/sale in which the customer cancels his or her service within
thirty (30) days, or who takes advantage of TERAPOWER’s 30-day
money-back guarantee.
- TERAPOWER also retains the right to review all commissions
for possible fraud, including but not limited to the use of
software that generates real and fictitious information. Any
incidence of fraud constitutes a breach of this Agreement, and
TERAPOWER retains full authority to terminate this Agreement
immediately.
5. Commission Payment.
5.1. Commissions will be paid only directly to your PayPal account
that you provided at registration. You may change this preference
within the affiliate administration area. TERAPOWER shall not be
liable for any loss or damage sustained as the result of any
dealings with or otherwise arising out of disputes with PayPal, Inc.
5.2. There are no minimum or maximum Affiliate commission payments,
however You must have at least Fifty USDollars (u$s 50.00) of
commissions payable to You in a given month for Us to pay You for
that month. If Your commissions payable are less than Fifty
USDollars (u$s 50.00) in a given month, We will carry over Your
commissions into the next month and subsequent months until
commissions payable to You equal or exceed Fifty USDollars (u$s
50.00). TERAPOWER, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to
modify the terms of this commission payment method or schedule.
5.3. Commissions shall be paid in United States Dollars (USD). No
interest shall be accrued or payable upon Affiliate commission
accounts or on the amounts of funds they contain.
- During the first full week of each month, commissions shall
be paid to You, for the commissions earned during the previous
month and carried over from earlier months, if applicable,
provided that the balance in Your commission account is at least
Fifty USDollars (u$s 50.00).
5.5. In the event that any customer that You or one of your
sub-affiliates send to Us issues a chargeback for which We are
charged, You will not earn any commission for that customer. If We
have already paid You a commission for that customer, then We will
debit Your commission account by the amount of commission we paid to
You for that customer. You understand and agree that Our debiting
Your account for chargebacks could result in Your commission account
having a negative balance. In the event that Your commission account
has a negative balance, You will not receive any further commission
payments until Your commission account has a positive balance of at
least Fifty USDollars (u$s 50.00).
6. Reports of Sales.
You will be given a password and have the ability to enter
a password-protected site to receive Your sales statistics on a

respected and responsible member of the business and Internet
communities. We take seriously Our role in protecting Our customers
and the general public from nuisances such as “spam.”This section of
the Affiliate Agreement document describes Our NO-SPAM Policy.
Please read it carefully, because it contains important information
and because it is a material part of Your Affiliate Agreement with
TERAPOWER.
7.4. To report any spam You receive that identifies itself as
coming from the terapower.com servers or claims to be related to
TERAPOWER in any way, please send an e-mail message to us at
abuse@terapower.com In Your
message to Us, please include a complete and accurate copy of the
message that You consider to be spam, along with full message
headers and routing information for e-mail, a message board provided
by a Web site or an online service, Usenet, interactive chat
message, or instant message service, as the case may be.
7.5. Definition of Spam.
Unsolicited commercial e-mail and electronic messages are
colloquially referred to as “spam.”Other common names for spam
include “spam e-mail,”“junk e-mail,”“bulk e-mail,”“direct
e-mail,”and “mass e-mail.”Spam is the electronic equivalent of the
direct mail you receive in your postal mailbox frequently.
In its most general terms, and as used in this NO-SPAM Policy
(the “Policy”), spam is:
- a commercial e-mail message or other electronic message,
including, but not limited to, messages that are:
- posted to an electronic mailing list (other than an
“opt-in”e-mail list as described below),
- posted on an online bulletin board system or Web-based
message board system or “guest book”,
- posted to a Usenet newsgroup,
- posted to the common area of an online community, group, or
club,
- posted in a chat room,
- posted in a message board of a commercial online service
(such as America Online),
- posted to a Weblog (“blog”),
- sent via an instant message system (such as ICQ, Yahoo!
Pager, Yahoo! Instant Messenger, or AOL Instant Messenger),
- sent through e-mail or another Internet means of
communication when the message’s ultimate destination is a
facsimile (“fax”) machine, cellular or wireless telephone, or
wireless device,
- a commercial e-mail message or other electronic message that
is addressed to one or more recipients with whom You do not have
a preexisting business or personal relationship,
- a commercial e-mail message or other electronic message that
is sent to a mailing list of addresses that You purchased or
that were otherwise distributed, or any list of e-mail addresses
whose owners did not sign up for Your specific mailing list,
including without limitation lists commonly known as “affiliate
lists,”
- a commercial e-mail message or other electronic message that
is not sent at the request of, or with the express consent of,
the recipient(s),
- a commercial e-mail message or other electronic message that
is sent to a recipient who has opted out of receiving further
commercial electronic messages from You, or
- a commercial e-mail message or other electronic message that
contains forged headers, compromised mail server relays, or
false contact information.
For purposes of this Policy, spam also includes any e-mail or
other electronic message that is sent in violation of any applicable
Federal, state, or local law regulating unsolicited commercial
e-mail, unsolicited fax transmissions, or any other type of
unsolicited commercial electronic message, regardless of whether
that message fits the definition of “spam”provided above. For
purposes of this Policy, all the terms and conditions of this
No-Spam Policy shall apply to any online solicitations You may make
to sell TERAPOWER’s products and services.
7.6. “Opt-in”E-mail Lists.
Please note: messages sent to “opt-in”e-mail lists are not spam,
for purposes of this Policy, provided that those messages meet all
of the following criteria:
- the messages are sent to an “opt-in”e-mail list in which ALL
subscribers have VOLUNTARILY agreed to receive announcements and
advertisements about products and services;
- the messages STRICTLY COMPLY with ALL the requirements and
regulations of the “opt-in”e-mail list; and
- upon request of any subscriber to the “opt-in”e-mail list,
You immediately stop sending that subscriber any e-mail
regarding Your products and services.
If You choose to use an “opt-in”e-mail list, please be aware that
TERAPOWER will consider ANY violation of the requirements or
regulations of such any third party provider of software or services
for such a list to be a violation of this NO SPAM Policy.
7.7. Zero Tolerance for Spam.
TERAPOWER will not tolerate any spamming by any of its
Affiliates. This prohibition of spam extends to the sending of
unsolicited mass mailings from another service, which in any way
implicates the use of TERAPOWER’s services whether or not the
message actually originated from our network.
Violation of this NO-SPAM policy will result in TERAPOWER taking
one or more of the following actions:
- A warning via e-mail or telephone, or
- Termination of this Agreement and forfeiture of any unpaid
commissions otherwise payable to You.
TERAPOWER reserves the right to take all legal and technical
steps available to
prevent unsolicited bulk e-mail or other unauthorized e-mail from
being sent from
or transmitted through the TERAPOWER Network.
PLEASE NOTE: The transmission of spam, including the transmission
of counterfeit e-mail, may result in civil and criminal penalties
against the sender, under various federal, state, and local laws and
regulations, including the federal CAN-SPAM Act of 2003.
7.8. Indemnification of TERAPOWER.

any harm or damages whatsoever resulting directly or indirectly from
Your engaging in any spamming practices or from Your violation of
