THESE TERMS OF USE PERTAIN TO AN INDIVIDUAL AND/OR COMPANY'S USAGE AND PARTICIPATION IN THE CIDWOODWORKING.COM AFFILIATE PROGRAM. WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO EDIT, CHANGE, AND AMEND THESE TERMS. BY PARTICIPATING YOU AGREE TO THE FOLLOWING TERMS:

1. Joining the Program
By filling out the affiliate signup form you will automatically become an CIDWoodworking.com affiliate. Your participation in the program is solely for this purpose: to legally advertise the CIDWoodworking.com site and products and receive a commission on sales generated by your referrals. You also agree to receive periodic mailings to affiliates regarding the CIDWoodworking.com affiliate program.

2) Promotion of the Affiliate Program
As an affiliate, we will make available to you a variety of graphic and textual links which, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, you may display on relevant areas of your site. These links are available in the Affiliate Members section on our website. The links will serve to identify your site as a member of our program and will establish a link from your site to our store. You may use graphic and text links both on your website and in emails. CIDWoodworking.com may also be advertised "offline" in classified ads, magazines, and newspapers. You may use the graphics and text provided to you by CIDWoodworking.com

As an affiliate of the CIDWoodworking.com Affiliate Program, you agree not to create web pages with affiliate links specifically designed to promote sales via search engines. Instead, your affiliate links should be part of the regular content of your website. This condition is not designed to prevent the creation of legitimate information or reviews about CIDWoodworking.com. Instead, it is meant to help prevent search engine spam, especially the submission of low-quality, poor content "doorway pages." If you are concerned you might violate this condition, send us an email and ask.

In addition, the program restricts you from running paid placement listings (such as via Overture or Google adwords) where ads for the program are linked to the words directly associated with CIDWoodworking.com or any of the sites in its network, specifically company names or URLs. You may use affiliate links in PPC ads, provided you adhere to each provider's policies governing affiliate ads.

3) Our Responsibilities
We will be responsible for providing all information necessary to allow you to make appropriate links from your site to our site, however, any changes you may make must be approved in writing by us. We will be solely responsible for processing orders placed on our site by a customer following a click-through from your site, tracking the volume and amount of sales generated by your site, and providing information to affiliate sites regarding sales statistics. We reserve the right to reject or cancel orders. We will be responsible for order entry, payment processing, shipping, cancellations, returns, and customer service related to our site.

4) Responsibilities of Affiliates
You are responsible for placing the CIDWoodworking.com Affiliate links on your site. You have sole responsibility for the development, operation, and maintenance of your site and for all the materials that appear on your site.

You indemnify, defend, and hold us harmless from all claims, damages, and expenses relating to the development, operation, and contents of your site.

As an Affiliate, you will make sure that your site does not copy or resemble the look and feel of CIDWoodworking.com and any of its properties or create the impression that your site is our site or a part of our site.

Your affiliate tracking cookie may ONLY be set on a user's computer when they click on a link from your website or your opt-in email newsletter that takes them directly to our website.

You will refrain from using "parasitic" tactics that overwrite other affiliate cookies via pop-up ads, redirects, toolbars, spyware or other downloadable applications. If you are discovered to be using any of these tactics you will forfeit any commissions due, and may be required to return any previously paid commissions.

5) Commissions Payout
You will be paid referral fees for every CIDWoodworking.com product purchased with paypal.com or offline check or money orders. This referral fee will be 40% of the final purchase price (less shipping & taxes). Affiliate commissions will be paid out monthly with no required commission value for payment. If the referred product was refunded, the membership cancelled, or money was reimbursed, CIDWoodworking.com reserves the right to deduct the appropriate commissions from the affiliate's account.
The commissions paid under this Agreement are for use by you only and may not be transferred or in any manner passed on to any third party unless expressly authorized in writing by us. When the total commissions due to you exceed $50, we will send either offline check or payment through PayPal for the applicable amount.
