PUBLISHER AGREEMENT
This Affiliate Agreement (this "Agreement") is made between
you ("You" or "affiliate" or "partner" or "publisher") and
us ("We" or "Us" or "Mommy Makeup" or "MommyMakeup.com" or
"merchant"). Neither ShareASale nor any of its corporate
affiliates are parties to this Agreement.
BACKGROUND
Both parties desire to establish the general terms and
conditions which shall govern advertising and commission
arrangements between You and Us resulting from our
participation in the ShareASale Network.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
In consideration of the promises set forth below, each party
agrees as follows:
1. OFFERS AND ENGAGEMENTS.
1.1. From time to time, We may post on the ShareASale
Network offers (each, an "Offer") to pay to other
participants a specified commission in return for certain
advertising services leading to a Qualifying Link (defined
below).
1.2. If You accept one of our Offers, we will have entered
into an "Engagement." 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 You displaying a Qualifying Link
on one of Your websites, Advertiser 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 that we have submitted for an Offer or
an Engagement. You agree to promptly implement any request
from Us to remove, alter or modify any such graphic or
banner ad.
2. YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES.
2.1. You hereby agree to comply with all applicable laws.
2.2 You hereby agree that the position, prominence and
nature of links on the Your site shall comply with any
requirements specified in the Engagement, but otherwise will
be in Your discretion.
2.2. You agree not to make any representations, warranties
or other statements concerning Us, Our site, any of Our
products or services, or Our site policies, except as
expressly authorized by the Engagement.
2.3. You are responsible for notifying Us and ShareASale of
any malfunctioning of the URLs specified in the Engagement
(the "Required URLs") or other problems with Your
participation in the Engagement. We will respond promptly
to all concerns upon receipt of Your notification.
3. COMMISSIONS.
3.1. We agree to pay to You the commission specified in the
Engagement if We sell to a visitor to Our site (a
"Customer") a product or service that is the subject of the
Engagement and if that Customer has accessed Our site and
purchased the product or service via a Qualifying Link.
3.2. A "Qualifying Link" is a link from Your site to Our
site using one of the Required URLs or any other URL
provided by Us for use in the ShareASale Newtork 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 Our
site via a link from Your site and terminating when the
Customer either returns to Our site via a link from a site
other than Your site or the Engagement expires or is
terminated.
3.3. We shall have the sole right and responsibility for
processing all orders made by Customers. You acknowledges
that all agreements relating to sales to Customers shall be
between Us and the Customer.
3.4. All determinations of Qualifying Links and whether a
commission is payable will be made by ShareASale and will be
final and binding on both You and Us. Prices for the
products will be set solely by Us in Our discretion.
3.5 We WILL commission on the sale (customer purchase) of
Gift Cards and Gift Certificates;
3.6 We WILL NOT commission on the use or redemption of Gift
Cards or Gift Certificates, regardless of customer origin.
If the payment method includes a Gift Card or Gift
Certificate, commission will be paid on the "discounted
sub-total" reduced by any redemption of Gift Card(s).
3.7 Pretty Perks Rewards. Pretty Perks Reward redemption is
treated as a coupon or discount, and the transaction total
is reduced (discounted) by the redemption of reward(s).
Commission is calculated on the "discounted sub-total" after
all discounts, and/or coupons, and/or rewards.
3.8 Returns. We offer our customers a 30-day money back
guarantee. If a customer returns a product for a refund, or
if credit card charges are reversed due to a dispute or
credit card fraud, your account will be debited for any
commission earned on that transaction (or portion thereof).
3.9 Last minute clicks. If an incoming qualifying link
occurs within 2 minutes of final checkout, and there is
already an active qualifying link (cookie) working for the
same customer session, the "last click" commission value
will be set to 10% of full commission, and the first
qualifying link will receive 90% of full commission.
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 technology,
including, without limitation, those names, logos,
trademarks, service marks, trade dress, copyrights and
proprietary technology currently used or which may be
developed and/or used by it in the future.
4.2. We grant to You a revocable, non-exclusive, worldwide
license to use, reproduce and transmit the name, logos,
trademarks, service marks, trade dress and proprietary
technology, as designated in the Engagement or during the
registration process in the ShareASale Network, on Your site
solely for the purpose of creating links from Your site(s)
to Our site(s) during Engagements. Except as expressly set
forth in this Agreement or permitted by applicable law, You
may not copy, distribute, modify, reverse engineer, or
create derivative works from the same. You may not
sublicense, assign or transfer any such licenses for the use
of the same, and any attempt at such sublicense, assignment
or transfer is void.
4.3. You grant to Us a non-exclusive, worldwide,
royalty-free license to use, reproduce and transmit any
graphic or banner ad submitted by You solely for co-branding
purposes or as a return link from Our site(s) to Your
site(s). We will remove such graphic or banner ad upon Your
request.
5. TERMINATION.
5.1. Either party may terminate any Engagement at any time
by deleting their acceptance of the Engagement through the
ShareASale Network. Termination of an Engagement shall not
terminate this Agreement or any other Engagement.
5.2. Either party may terminate this Agreement at any time,
for any reason, provided that they provide at least five
day's prior written notice of such termination to the other
party and the ShareASale Network. Termination of this
Agreement shall also terminate any outstanding Engagements.
However, all rights to payment, causes of action and any
provisions which by their terms are intended to survive
termination, shall survive termination of this Agreement.

11. TECHNOLOGY / SOCIAL MEDIA / E-MAIL
In accordance with the ShareASale Terms and Conditions, You
agree that You shall not:
11.1 Place or use any Link of MommyMakeup.com except with
the intention of delivering valid sales, leads,
applications, accounts, clicks or other specified
compensable actions; Inflate the number of applications,
accounts, clicks or other specified compensable actions or
any impressions of the MommyMakeup.com web site, by any
method or using any hidden frames, java pop ups, Web bot,
robot, automatic redirecting of users, autospawning of
browsers, or any other technique or means of generating
automated click-throughs, requiring visitors to click on
MommyMakeup.com's Link before entering any area of Your
Site(s), by placing or including Promotions or links on
pages of Your Site that automatically reload or go to
another page without interaction from the user (for example,
MommyMakeup.com pull or server push technology, METATAG
reload, or refresh command on page html) or on any page that
is not generally accessible to all Web users (for example,
pop-up windows and hidden frames); Affiliates using any of
the aforementioned techniques or methods to establish a
click, and/or place a cookie on a users computer will be
terminated without notice and forfeit all outstanding and
future commissions.
11.2. Partner understands that the use of unsolicited
commercial e-mail ("spam") by affiliates is absolutely
prohibited. Your participation in the Mommy Makeup affiliate
program constitutes your specific and unconditional
agreement to abide this anti-spam policy. Proper e-mail
solicitation, however, can be an important means of
advertising your site and your relationship with Mommy
Makeup. The following rules represent best practices, which
are permitted under this agreement:
(a) If an "opt-In" system exists for your line of business
and target market, you must use it. (Opt-In systems are
those where the user specifically requests to be placed on a
mailing list.);
(b) Partner may not use Merchant Name in the originating or
return e-mail address line, header of any e-mail
transmission. With prior approval, we may permit use of our
Name in the subject line, on a case-by-case basis.
Violation of this rule will result in the suspension or
termination of your affiliate relationship with
MommyMakeup.com including the forfeiture of any commissions
from the date of the offending e-mailing.
11.3. SOCIAL MEDIA:
(a) Direct Facebook, Twitter and other Social media linking
is allowed with prior approval.
(b) Non-direct Facebook, Twitter and other social media
linking is not allowed unless the referring page/site
provides some type of value to the customer.
11.4. Affiliate MAY NOT promote, use, or advertise any
coupon code(s) that may be available to the public.
Unauthorized coupon codes shall include, but not be limited
to those coupon codes unrelated to the Program that are
distributed through our store, consumer email newsletters,
social media, or direct mail promotions. The ONLY valid
coupon codes will be exclusive to your affiliate program
provided to you through the ShareASale Network. Affiliate(s)
violating this policy will forfeit all outstanding and
future commissions.
11.5. Affiliate may not register a domain name with the
words "MOMMY MAKEUP" or any derivative thereof.
11.6. Marketing and/or selling MOMMY MAKEUP products
through the use of online auctions, such as Ebay, is
prohibited.
11.7 You may not:
(a) employ, use or place any web browser add-ons, toolbars
or pop-ups on your website without prior consent.
(b) engage in any direct or indirect relationships with ISPs
and/or mobile carriers that results in the delivery or act
of address bar keyword and URL error trafficking (e.g., a
user mistypes a web address in the ISP’s address bar or
search bar, and, as a result, is redirected to a web page
that contains a Qualifying Link that directs the user to our
site). Affiliate(s) violating this policy will immediately
forfeit all outstanding and future commissions.
(c) without the prior written approval of Mommy Makeup, use
any Trademark, or any Licensed Material in an advertisement
in any way that might suggest or imply or mislead or is
likely to mislead a visitor to your website into believing
that MommyMakeup.com or any related entity was the creator
or sponsor of such advertisement.
(d) employ, use, or receive any direct or indirect benefit
from, any “cookie stuffing” methods (e.g., use of “cookie
stuffing”, "cookie dropping", "forced clicks", "cookie
sprinkling" to cause ShareASale’s tracking systems to
conclude that a user has clicked through a Qualifying
Link—and to pay commissions accordingly—even if the user has
not actually clicked through any such link). Affiliate(s)
violating this policy will immediately forfeit all
outstanding and future commissions and we will void all
transactions, from program inception.

to competitive brands, subject to the requirements of this
Agreement, including prohibitions against objectionable

Further, you may not bid on any word or term that is
confusingly similar to any of our Trademarks standing alone.
12.9. You may not employ any “fat finger” domains or
typosquatters redirecting web traffic to your website. A
typosquatter for “fat finger” domain is any domain that
amounts to misspellings of any registered or unregistered
Trademarks.
12.10. We may, in our sole discretion, terminate you or
withhold payment of your Referral Fees for the days that we
determine that you were bidding in violation of the keyword
bidding requirements above.
We reserve the right in our sole discretion to modify these
requirements at any time.
13. GENERAL.
13.1. Each party shall act as an independent contractor and
shall have no authority to obligate or bind the other in any
respect.
13.2. Affiliate may not claim to be MOMMY MAKEUP, or
MommyMakeup.com, and must clearly state the nature of the
Affiliate relationship.
13.3. This Agreement has been made in and shall be construed
and enforced in accordance with the laws of the state of New
York. Any action to enforce this Agreement shall be brought
in the federal or state courts located in that state. If
you need to send official correspondence, send it via
registered mail to Our headquarters to the attention of Our
legal department.
13.4. By accepting any Offer through the ShareASale Network,
You agree that you will be deemed to have executed, and will
be bound by, this Agreement.
13.5. Confidentiality. Except as otherwise provided in this
Agreement or with our prior written consent, you agree that
all information including, without limitation, the terms of
this Agreement, our business and financial information, our
customer lists and purchase history, and our pricing and
sales information, shall remain strictly confidential and
shall not be utilized, directly or indirectly, by you for
your own business purposes or for any other purpose except
and solely to the extent that any such information is
generally known or available to the public through a source
or sources other than you or your affiliates.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may deliver a copy of any
such information (a) pursuant to a subpoena issued by any
court or administrative agency, (b) to your accountants,
attorneys, or other agents on a confidential basis, and (c)
otherwise as required by applicable law, rule, regulation or
legal process, upon written notification to Mommy Makeup.
13.6. Testimonials and Endorsements. We strongly advise
affiliates to stay compliant with the Federal Trade
Commission (FTC) guidelines on testimonials and
endorsements. All endorsements, reviews, testimonials on
Mommy Makeup’s products, as well as relationships, between
other types of content websites (forums, blogs, microblogs,
and other Social Media channels) and Mommy Makeup must be
clearly disclosed in a separate policy on the affiliate
sites. The FTC points out that “when there exists a
connection between the endorser and the seller of the
advertised product” it is imperative that such a connection
is “fully disclosed.” The FTC deems the relationship in an
endorser-sponsor light and believes that the end user has
the right to understand that one exists
We share the
undergirding idea of this approach and strongly encourage
our affiliates to adhere to the FTC’s rules. We also reserve
the right to terminate our relationship with any
non-compliant affiliates.
13.7. The provisions of this Agreement are independent of
and separable from each other, and no provision shall be
affected or rendered invalid or unenforceable by virtue of
the fact that for any reason any other or others of them may
be invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part.
