contained in this Agreement, at any time and in our sole discretion, by
posting a change notice or a new agreement on this site. Modifications

fees, fee schedules, payment procedures and Program rules. IF ANY
MODIFICATION IS UNACCEPTABLE TO YOU, YOUR ONLY RECOURSE IS TO TERMINATE
THIS AGREEMENT. YOUR CONTINUED PARTICIPATION IN THE PROGRAM FOLLOWING
OUR POSTING OF A CHANGE NOTICE OR NEW AGREEMENT ON OUR SITE WILL
CONSTITUTE BINDING ACCEPTANCE OF THE CHANGE.
3) Limitation of Liability: We will not be liable for
indirect, special or consequential damages, or any loss of revenue,
profits or data, arising in connection with this Agreement or the
Program, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such
damages. Further, our aggregate liability arising with respect to this
Agreement and the Program will not exceed the total referral fees paid
or payable to you under to this Agreement or one dollar ($1.00),
whichever is greater.
4) Independent Investigation: You acknowledge that you have
read this Agreement and agree to all its terms and conditions. You
understand that we may at any time (directly or indirectly) solicit
customer referrals on terms that may differ from those contained in this
Agreement or operate web sites that are similar to or compete with your

participating in the Program and are not relying on any representation,
guarantee or statement other than as set forth in this Agreement. We
have the right to monitor your Web site at any time and from time to
time to determine if you are in compliance with this Agreement. We also
reserve the right to review all commissions for possible fraud. Any
incidence of fraud constitutes a breach of this Agreement, and First
Class Cash Flow Handlers retains the right to terminate this Agreement
immediately.

policy for spam which is defined to mean any email advertising sent in
bulk or in violation of any state or federal law. Any Affiliate accused
of spamming will be immediately suspended while the First Class Cash
Flow Handlers, in their sole discretion, determines the validity of
the spam complaint. Valid spam complaints will result in the immediate
termination of your account and forfeiture of any commissions owed you.
Transactions may be cancelled, and recipients may be notified, at our
discretion. If First Class Cash Flow Handlers incurs more than the sum
of your uncollected and forfeited commissions in actual damages as a
result of your spam, you agree to liquidated damages in the amount of
any penalties or fines that First Class Cash Flow Handlers incurs as a
result of your transgression.
6) Miscellaneous: This Agreement will be governed by the laws
of the United States of America and the State of Rhode Island, without

of such courts. You may not assign this Agreement, by operation of law
or otherwise, without our prior written consent. Subject to that
restriction, this Agreement will be binding on, inure to the benefit of
and be enforceable against the parties and their respective successors
and assigns. Our failure to enforce your strict performance of any
provision of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of our right to
subsequently enforce such provision or any other provision of this
Agreement.
7) Payments: We shall pay a 50% commission on the sale of any
product sold through http://firstclasscash.ashopcart.com that is
referred by you as an affiliate. Second tier sales shall earn a
10% commission. Commissions are payable only for
products (ie. goods) sold and are not collectable on any services that
are rendered by First Class Cash Flow Handlers, their employees or their
associates in the pursuit of their normal business activities. A
commission will only be credited to an affiliate after the customer has
made full payment to First Class Cash Flow Handlers. If a customer later
requests a refund or a chargeback is issued by the credit card holder
whose credit card was used to pay for that customer's account, any
commissions that were credited will be deducted from the next monthly
payment. If there is no next monthly payment, the affiliate will be
billed and hereby agrees to be bound by law to reimburse First Class
Cash Flow Handlers in full for any such commissions.
Affiliate payments will be made monthly, on the first of each month
(or the next business day, if the first of each month falls on a weekend
or holiday.)
8) Linking: We will provide You with links, including URL
addresses and appropriate graphics (the Link Materials), with which you
may link your Web site to our Web site (http://firstclasscash.ashopcart.com
or any other websites we may establish from time to time). If you are an approved Affiliate, we grant you a
non-exclusive limited license solely to reproduce and use these Link
Materials, including our trademarks to the extent they are incorporated
into these Link Materials, only while you are an Affiliate and only in
accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. You agree to
display the Link Materials appropriately on your Web site and to respect
our trademarks, service marks, and other rights in the Link Materials.
You will use only these Link Materials to link your Web site to ours,
and You will not alter the look or feel of these Link Materials or of
our Web site in any way. You will use reasonable efforts to update to
new versions of Link Materials as we make them available.
You will not register any domain name containing "firstclasscash",
"1stclasscash", "firstclasscashflow", "1stclasscashflow" or any variation or misspelling thereof. We reserve all of
our rights in the Link Materials, our trade names and trademarks, and
all other intellectual property rights. We may revoke your license at
any time by giving you written notice.
9) Tracking: First Class Cash Flow Handlers will be solely
responsible for tracking sales using special software that communicates
with the specially encoded URLs assigned to affiliates. First Class Cash
Flow Handlers will endeavor to do its best to ensure accurate tracking
of referrals made by affiliates. Affiliates will themselves be solely
responsible for ensuring that these special URLs are formatted properly,
a necessary prerequisite to accurate tracking of referral sales.
Notwithstanding the above statement of responsibility by First Class
Cash Flow Handlers to track sales, affiliates hereby acknowledge and
accept that the tracking system employed by First Class Cash Flow
Handlers is not 100% fail-safe and that there may on occasion be
instances of referral sales made that are not credited to an affiliate
for any of the following possible reasons:
- Failure by the affiliate to use the proper format of the
specially assigned URL in promotions, web page links, banner ads,
and so on.
- Deliberate or accidental actions by customers to circumvent an
affiliate's special URL so that our software is unable to accurately
track that sale.
- Bugs, glitches or crashes of the tracking software that render
it unable to accurately track sales for a period of time.
- Acts of nature that cause irretrievable data loss on the
computers and back-up disk media.
10) Relationships and Responsibilities: You will be solely
responsible for the development, operation, and maintenance of your site
and for all materials that appear on your site. For example, you will be
solely responsible for:
- The technical operation of your site and all related equipment
- The accuracy and appropriateness of materials posted on your
site (including, among other things, all product-related materials)
- Ensuring that materials posted on your site do not violate or
infringe upon the rights of any third party (including, for example,
copyrights, trademarks, privacy, or other personal or proprietary
rights)
- Ensuring that materials posted on your site are not libelous or
otherwise illegal.
We may terminate this Agreement at any time if we decide, in our sole
discretion, that your Web site is not suitable for the Program for any
reason, including, but not limited to, the use of unlawful content.
We disclaim all liability for these matters. Further, you will
indemnify and hold us harmless from all claims, damages, and expenses
(including, without limitation, attorneys' fees) relating to the
development, operation, maintenance, and contents of your site.
11) Relationship of Parties: First Class Cash Flow Handlers
and your company are independent contractors, and nothing in this
Agreement will create any partnership, joint venture, agency, franchise,
sales representative, or employment relationship between the parties.
You will have no authority to make or accept any offers or
representations on our behalf. You will not make any statement, whether
on your site or otherwise, that reasonably would contradict anything in
this agreement.
