Affiliate Signup Form


Affiliate Operating Agreement This Affiliate Agreement contains the complete terms and conditions that apply to an individual's or entity's participation in the FurnishedHomes.com Affiliate Program (the "Program"). As used in this Agreement, "we" means FurnishedHomes.com, and "you" means the applicant. "Site" means a World Wide Web site and, depending on the context, refers either to FurnishedHomes.com�s site or to the site that you will link to our site.
1. Application Process To apply to the Program, you will submit a complete Program application on our site. We will evaluate your application in good faith and will notify you of its acceptance or rejection. We will reject your application if we determine, at our sole discretion, that your site is unsuitable for the Program. Unsuitable sites include but are not limited to those that: promote sexually explicit materials; promote violence; promote discrimination based on race, sex, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation or age; promote illegal activities; or violate intellectual property rights.
2. Order Tracking We will track and process paid listings and featured listings placed by customers who follow special links from your site to our site. We will send you reports summarizing this sales activity. The form, content, and frequency of the reports may vary from time to time at our discretion. To permit accurate tracking, reporting, and commission accrual, you must ensure that the special links between your site and our site are properly formatted. When a customer comes to our site from your links, our web server sends a client-side text string (cookie) containing your affiliate code to their computer. Our system uses those strings to identify your site.
3. Qualifying Products For a listing or featured listing (advertising) sale to qualify for a commission, the customer must follow a link in the format specified by us from your site to ours; purchase the product using our online system; accept terms and conditions of the FurnishedHomes.com website; and remit full payment to us. We reserve the right to reject listings (advertising) that do not comply with requirements that we periodically may establish. We will credit your site for every qualifying new purchase a customer makes, so long as your site was the last one to have made the referral and so long as the customer's purchases are completed within 30 days of having been referred. Coupons or promotional offers are for use on the FurnishedHomes.com website and are either issued directly to customers for their own use or used as a direct customer recruitment tool. Coupons include instructions that they are to be redeemed at www.furnishedhomes.com. For this reason, if a customer uses a coupon on a purchase, FurnishedHomes.com is deemed the last referral.
4. Commissions You will earn commissions based on the sales price of Qualifying listings (standard and featured advertising) according to schedules we establish. "Sale price" means the price referred to at our site to list (advertise) a property on our site. The current commission schedule is as follows: Earn 35% of paid advertising revenues for each listing and/or featured listing placed with FurnishedHomes.com.
5. Policies and Pricing Registered affiliates of FurnishedHomes.com may not refer themselves as customers. We may change our policies and operating procedures at any time. For example, we will determine the prices to be charged for advertising and services sold under this Program in accordance with our own pricing policies. Prices and availability may vary from time to time. Because price changes may affect the offers that you already have listed on your site, you may not include price information in your product descriptions. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to present accurate information, but we cannot guarantee the availability or price of any particular listing or service.
6. Responsibility for Your Site 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 ensuring that materials posted on your site are legal and do not violate or infringe upon the rights of any third party including, for example, copyrights, trademarks, privacy, or other personal or proprietary rights. 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.
