This Service Agreement explains our obligations to you, and explains your obligations to us for the UBB Affiliate Program offered by Mindraven.

  1. DESCRIPTION OF THE AFFILIATE PROGRAM

    The UBB Affiliate Program allows you to provide a platform for advertising the UBB Software via your "web site" or "publishing location" (such as an electronic newsletter or blog), thereby driving traffic to the UBBCentral.com web site or web site content, whereby you may earn a portion of the revenue generated ("commission") if a person or entity that is not you ("visitor") makes their first purchase of a UBB License afterer being referred to the UBBCentral.com web site from an internet hyperlink ("link") contained on your web site or publishing location.

    After being referred to the UBBCentral.com web site from a link contained on your web site or publishing location, visitors have fifteen (60) days to complete their purchase in order for you to receive a commission. Should the visitor click on another web site or publishing location's link that is not controlled by you, or return to the UBBCentral.com web site via another source-coded avertising link during the initial fifteen (60) days, your link will be overwritten and you will not receive a commission for that visitor's purchase.

    You acknowledge and agree that only first purchases completed by visitor through the UBBCentral.com web site will be eligible for a commission.

  2. PARTICIPATION IN THE AFFILIATE PROGRAM

    You are not eligible for a commission payment on purchases made by you, your employees, agents, representatives, or contractors, as well as made from several accounts owned by the same person as far as commission is paid for the first purchase only made by a certain person; and Mindraven employees (and their immediate family members) are not allowed to participate in the UBB Affiliate Program.
