Basics

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

In consideration of the promises set forth below, we agree as follows:

1. Offers and Engagements.

1.1. From time to time, Merchant may post on The Impact Network(tm) offers to

pay to other participants a specified commission in return for certain

advertising services leading to a Qualifying Link (defined below).   If such

offers receive an identification number from The Impact Network(tm) they

shall be deemed to be an "Offer" for purposes of this Agreement.  The term

"Offer" shall also include any counter-offers resulting from an Offer.

1.2. If an Offer made by one party is accepted by the other party in accordance

with the Offer's terms via The Impact Network(tm), an "Engagement" will have

been formed.  Each Engagement shall have the same identification number as the

original Offer that lead to the Engagement and shall be governed by the terms

and conditions of this Agreement.  However, in the event of any inconsistency

between the terms of the specific Engagement and the terms of this Agreement,

the terms of the Engagement shall govern.

1.3. At any time prior to Partner providing a Qualifying Link, Merchant may with

or without notice (a) change, suspend or discontinue any aspect of an Offer or

an Engagement or (b) remove, alter, or modify any graphic or banner ad submitted

by Merchant for an Offer or an Engagement.  Partner agrees to promptly implement

any request from Merchant to remove, alter or modify any graphic or banner ad

submitted by Merchant that is being used by Partner as part of an Engagement.

2. Partner's Responsibilities.

2.1. Partner will link its site to areas within Merchant's site using special

URLs specified in the Engagement (the "Required URLs").  Partner may post as many

links to the Required URLs and the rest of Merchant's site as it likes on

Partner's site.  The position, prominence and nature of links on the Partner's

site shall comply with any requirements specified in the Engagement, but

otherwise will be in the discretion of Partner.

2.2. Partner agrees not to make any representations, warranties or other

statements concerning Merchant, Merchant's site, any of Merchant's products or

services, or Merchant's site policies, except as expressly authorized by the

Engagement.

2.3. Partner is responsible for notifying Merchant and The Impact Network(tm)

of any malfunctioning of the Required URLs or other problems with Partner's

participation in the Engagement.  Merchant will respond promptly to all concerns

upon notification by Partner.

3.

Commissions.

3.1. Merchant agrees to pay Partner the commission specified in the Engagement if

Merchant sells to a visitor to Merchant's site (a "Customer") a product or

service that is the subject of the Engagement and if that Customer has accessed

Merchant's site and purchased the product or service via a Qualifying Link.

3.2. A "Qualifying Link" is a link from Partner's site to Merchant's using one

of the Required URLs or any other URL provided by Merchant for use in The

Impact Network(tm) if it is the last link to the Merchant's site that the

Customer uses during a Session where a sale of a product or a service to

Customer occurs.  A "Session" is the period of time beginning from a Customer's

initial contact with Merchant's site via a link from the Partner's site and

terminating when the Customer either returns to the Merchant's site via a link

from a site other than Partner's site or the Engagement expires or is

terminated.

3.3. Merchant shall have the sole right and responsibility for processing all

orders made by Customers. Partner acknowledges that all agreements relating to

sales to Customers shall be between Merchant and the Customer.

3.4. All determinations of Qualifying Links and whether a commission is payable

will be made by The Impact Network(tm) and will be final and binding on both

Merchant and Partner.  Prices for the products will be set solely by Merchant in

its discretion.

4. Ownership and Licenses.

4.1. Each party owns and shall retain all right, title and interest in its

names, logos, trademarks, service marks, trade dress, copyrights and proprietary

use, reproduce and transmit the name, logos, trademarks, service marks, trade

dress and proprietary technology, as designated in the Engagement or during the

Engagements. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or permitted by

applicable law, Partner may not copy, distribute, modify, reverse engineer, or

sublicense, assignment or transfer is void.

4.3. Partner grants Merchant a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to

use, reproduce and transmit any graphic or banner ad submitted by Partner solely

for co-branding purposes or as a return link from Merchant's site to Partner's

site. Merchant will remove such graphic or banner ad upon Partner's request.

4.4. Partner agrees not to register or use any URLs and/or domain names

which are considered by Merchant to be infringing the Merchant's name

or trademarks, including but not limited to the Blinds.com trademark

Affiliate is restricted from using merchant URL

(www.Blinds.com) or any page in the merchant's site as a landing

page for paid search. Breach of this Section 4.4 may lead to immediate

termination of Partner as an affiliate under this Agreement and will

terminate any Engagements between Merchant and Partner immediately.

Any redirection of the Customer by Partner for the purpose of

generating commissions that the Partner might otherwise not be entitled

to will lead to immediate termination of this Agreement.

acceptance of the Engagement through The Impact Network(tm).   Termination of

an Engagement shall not terminate this Agreement or any other Engagement.

rights to payment, causes of action and any provisions which by their terms are

intended to survive termination, shall survive termination of this Agreement.
