    Nurse Entrepreneur Network Affiliate Agreement

    Printer-Friendly Format

    This Agreement contains the complete terms and conditions that apply to your participation in our Affiliate Program. As used in this Agreement, "we" or "us" refers to the Nurse Entrepreneur Network and "you" refers to the applicant. You must be 18 years of age or older to enter into this Agreement with us.

    1. How Do I Enroll in your Affiliate Program? To begin the enrollment process you must submit a completed Affiliate Program application. Upon receipt of your application we will evaluate it and notify you of its acceptance or rejection. Although we hope your application will be successful, we reserve the right to reject applications for any or no reason. For example, we may reject your application if we determine that your site is unsuitable for the Program, including if it:
      • Promotes sexually explicit materials
      • Promotes violence
      • Promotes discrimination based on race, sex, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation, or age
      • Promotes illegal activities
      • Incorporates any materials which infringe or assist others to infringe on any copyright, trademark or other intellectual property rights or to violate the law
      • Includes "NurseEntrepreneurNetwork" or "Nurse-Entrepreneur-Network" or variations or misspellings thereof in its domain name
      • Is otherwise in any way unlawful, harmful, threatening, defamatory, obscene, harassing, or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable to us in our sole discretion.
      • Purchase or bid for placement of any of Nurse-Entrepreneur-Network.com's trademarked company names. These names include Nurse Entrepreneur Network, Nurse-Entrepreneur-Network.com, Nurse-Entrepreneur-Network.org and any variation of our trademarked name.
      If we reject your application, you are welcome to reapply to the Program at any time. You should also note that if we accept your application and your site is later determined (in our sole discretion) to be unsuitable for the Program, we may terminate this Agreement at any time. We will not be liable to you for any costs, damages or lost profits as a result of our termination of this Agreement.
    2. How Do I Link My Site to Nurse-Entrepreneur-Network.com? Once we notify you that your application has been accepted, we will make available to you banner advertisements, buttons and/or text links to our site. The links we may make available could be in the form of:
      • A logo that links your home page to ours
      • A picture of one or more of our products that links your site to the page on ours where such products are offered
      • A search box that permits your visitors to link directly to a page on our site that contains the results of their search queries.
      These links will allow your visitors to enter our site and enable us to keep track of the sales you may earn if they purchase products from us. If we accept your application, we will provide you with instructions describing how to include and maintain links to our site. To permit accurate tracking, and reporting the links we provide you are in a special "tagged" link format, or "Tagged Links". You are responsible for ensuring that each of the links between your site and our site is a Tagged Link. You agree not to modify the Tagged Links in any way.
    3. How are Customer Orders Processed? We will process orders placed by customers who enter our site via Tagged Links. We reserve the right to reject any orders that do not comply with our policies or conditions at the time of the order. We will be responsible for all aspects of order processing and fulfillment. Among other things, we will prepare order forms, process payments, cancellations and returns and handle customer service. We will track sales made to customers who purchase using Tagged Links and will make available to you reports summarizing this sales activity. The form, content, frequency and method of delivery of the reports may vary from time to time in our sole discretion.
    4. How Do I Get Paid? We will pay you when visitors from your site use the Tagged Link to purchase products from us. Referral fees are calculated based on a percent of the "Net Sales" from "Qualifying Purchases" made during a "Session". The percent is specified in referral fee schedules to be established by us. "Net Sales" shall mean gross shipped sales from Qualifying Purchases less Returns, Postage, Shipping and Handling charges, Sales, use or other like taxes. "Qualifying Purchases" shall mean a purchase of a product offered on our site that meets the following criteria: The purchase must be completed on our site. The purchase must be made via a valid credit card. No phone orders. The ship-to address must be a domestic U.S. address. The purchase must be completed during a "Session" (defined below). "Session" shall mean the period beginning upon a visitor's entry to our site via a Tagged Link (regardless of whether the visitor leaves and then returns to the site) and ending 7 days thereafter if the visitor accepts "cookies" from our site (see explanation below). Any Session in progress will automatically terminate upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement or upon the visitor deleting our cookie. Note regarding Net Sales: Net Sales include only "shipped" sales. Orders entered for which the product does not ship are not reported as sales. Note regarding "Cookies": To keep track of the Session, we use a small text file called a "cookie" that is placed on the hard drive of the visitor's computer. Some web browsers permit users to elect not to receive cookies. Only visitors who accept cookies can be tracked for referral fees. You understand that no referral fee can be paid for any purchase made by a visitor who does not accept "cookies" or who has deleted our "cookies" during a session.
    5. How Much Do I Get Paid? We will pay you up to 40% of all sales, depending on the product.
    6. Who Sets the Policies and Pricing for Customers? Customers who buy products through this Program will be deemed to be our customers. Accordingly, all rules, policies, and operating procedures concerning customer orders, customer service and product sales from and by Nurse-Entrepreneur-Network.com will apply to those customers. Also, the terms, conditions and policies of our site will apply to the visitors' conduct and their rights and obligations while visiting our site. We have the right to change our policies and operating procedures at any time. For example, we will determine the prices to be charged for products sold under this Program in accordance with our own pricing policies. Because product prices and availability may vary from time to time, we cannot permit you to include pricing or product descriptions on your site independent of the materials we provide in the Links. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to present accurate information, but we cannot guarantee the availability or price of any particular product. You are responsible for periodically visiting, reviewing and becoming familiar with the terms and conditions sections of the Nurse-Entrepreneur-Network.com site, which are incorporated into this Agreement by reference.

We hereby grant you a limited, non-exclusive, nontransferable, non-sub licensable, revocable right to use the graphic images and text we are providing to you solely for the purpose of creating links from your site to ours.

      • The technical operation of your site and all related equipment · posting and maintaining links to our site
      • The accuracy and appropriateness of materials posted on your site
      • 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)

      Further, you will indemnify and hold us harmless from all claims, damages, and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) relating to the development, operation, maintenance, and contents of your site.
    9. How Long is the Term of this Agreement? The term of this Agreement will begin upon our acceptance of your application and will end when terminated by either party. Either you or we may terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause, by giving the other party notice of termination in accordance with the notice provision of this Agreement. Upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason you will immediately cease use of, and remove from your site, all links to our site, and all Nurse-Entrepreneur-Network.com trademarks, trade dress and logos, and all other materials provided by or on behalf of us to you pursuant hereto or in connection with the Program. You are only eligible to earn referral fees on Qualifying Purchases occurring during the term, and referral fees earned through the date of termination will remain payable only if the related orders are not canceled or returned. We may withhold your final payment for a reasonable time to ensure that the correct amount is paid.
    10. Can this Agreement be Modified? We may modify any of the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, at any time and in our sole discretion, by posting a change notice or a new agreement on our site. Modifications may include, for example, changes in the scope of available referral fees, referral 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 THREE DAYS AFTER OUR POSTING OF A CHANGE NOTICE OR NEW AGREEMENT ON OUR SITE WILL CONSTITUTE BINDING ACCEPTANCE OF THE CHANGE.
    11. What is the Legal Nature of our Relationship? You and we 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.

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 this Agreement.
    13. More "Fine Print" We make no express or implied warranties or representations with respect to the Program or any products sold through the Program (including, without limitation, warranties of fitness, merchantability, non-infringement or any implied warranties arising out of a course of performance, dealing, or trade usage). In addition, we make no representation that the operation of our site or the links or Tagged Links will be uninterrupted or error-free, or will not be re-routed or "black holed." As a result, we might temporarily be unable to capture information regarding Tagged Links. We will not be liable for the consequences of any such interruptions or errors.

This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the state of Minnesota without reference to rules governing choice of laws. Any action relating to this Agreement must be brought in the federal or state courts located in Minnesota and you irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction 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 enforceable against the parties and their respective successors and assigns.

    I absolutely love your site.

    "Wow! Whoopee! and Thank you! LeaRae, my coaching session with you was everything I wanted and needed. I had been spinning my wheels with regard to my business interests, leaving me both frustrated and weary. In a matter of minutes, you lifted my spirits, opened my eyes and got me thinking about my mission in a new light. Thank you for helping me change my focus. I no longer feel like I'm in a mental quagmire. My hat is off to you as a coach as well as to the Nurse-Entrepreneur-Network for all the information and support it gives to the enterprising person in all of us."

    "I talked to you this summer, and wanted to let you know how progress is going... You gave me alot of encouragement, and I wanted to let you know that even tho it is slow, [my legal nurse consulting] business is starting to build.  I just completed my first entire case review, did 1 sub-contracting with possible testifying, and am now on my 2nd case as testifying expert and will testify.  I emailed approximately 70 attorneys in the past 2 weeks, and the case I am now working on came from the emailing, and I hope that an attorney that responded is not scared off with my fee schedule.  I hope that I will hear from more of the attorneys that I emailed and mailed out my packets to.  Keep your fingers crossed and say a prayer that it works.  I am really hoping that I can get this flying, so that I can spend more time at home with the kids.
     
    I wanted to thank you for your encouragement, and please post this on your site if it is possible, as you have done a world of good for me."

     "LeaRae Keyes is a world-class life coach I have been blessed to know since 2003.  She is a warm, perceptive, genuine professional, with an exceptional gift for motivating others.  Her approach seems quite effortless, yet it has been refined through years of experience and learning.  She is a true pleasure.  She is an inspiration in what she has achieved in her own life, and by her own example..."

    "I'm so glad I found the Nurse Entrepreneur Network!  LeaRae always has great ideas to share with other "Nursepreneurs."  I recently finished the teleclass "Get Clients Now!" and I have to say that it was the most motivational and informative program I've done.
     
    Just starting out in my business as an LNC, this program help me set goals and keep me organized.  It also kept me accountable to my peers in the group each week.  LeaRae is so insightful and has wonderful experience to draw from for those of us who are beginning our dream of being nurse entrepreneurs.
     
    I would highly recommend ANYONE who is just starting their business, or even someone who's been in business awhile and feels like they're in a lull to take this class.  They won't regret it!"
