Webmaster Agreement
You are applying to participate in the ALS Scan, Inc. ("ALS") Webmaster Referral program ("Program") on the terms and conditions set forth in this Webmaster Affiliate Agreement ("Agreement"). By applying, you agree to comply with and be bound by all such terms and conditions. Participation in the Program is subject to approval by ALS and CCBill, and approval may be granted or denied at their discretion.
The Program
The Program is a referral service whereby approved Webmasters ("Webmasters") refer Internet users ("Users") to the ALS websites, ALSSCAN.COM & ALSANGELS.COM, via hyperlink to a unique URL provided by ALS, in exchange for a percentage of the revenue generated by sales of ALS memberships to those referred Users.
Commissions
Webmasters earn fifty percent (50%) of the initial Net Revenue as well as fifty percent (50%) of recurring Net Revenue generated by sales of ALS memberships to Users whom they refer in accordance with the requirements set forth herein ("Commissions"). "Net Revenue" means the gross amount actually collected from Users for Web Site memberships, less any and all bank fees, processing fees, credits, chargebacks, and reserves. Checks for Commissions are sent out every two weeks once the Commissions exceed $25.00; any Commissions earned below this threshold will be carried forward to the following pay period. All checks will be issued in US Dollars. If a Webmaster is indebted to or otherwise obligated to pay money to ALS under any other agreement, ALS reserves the right to apply any Commissions otherwise payable to satisfaction of such other debt or obligation.
Permitted Methods Of Reffering Users
Webmasters may refer Users using approved banner ads and text links only. If your application for participation in the Program is approved, you will be provided with access to promotional materials.
Prohibited Methods Of Reffering Users
You will not be paid Commissions in connection with memberships purchased by Users who are referred using prohibited methods. Prohibited methods include, but are not necessarily limited to, pop-up consoles, redirects, blind links, hypertext links contained in Spam, or linked images other than approved banner ads. Referrals generated as a requirement to enter a Webmaster's site or third-party Web site, or to obtain access to goods or other services on a Webmaster's site or third-party Web site, are also prohibited.
Spamming
ALS has a zero-tolerance policy for unsolicited commercial e-mail as well as for unsolicited commercial communications transmitted via instant messenger service, chat room, newsgroup, or message board (collectively "Spam"). Spamming can result in significant civil and criminal penalties, and WILL result in immediate termination of your account and forfeiture of unpaid Commissions.
Improper Material
Web sites that promote or contain content consisting of or relating to warez, stolen passwords, MP3s, bestiality, rape, child pornography or promotion of hatred or violence are not permitted in the Program.
Improper Practices
Web sites that utilize excessive pop-up windows, timed consoles, or full-screen windows without toolbars, or that otherwise engage in unfair or deceptive business practices or violate applicable laws or regulations, are not permitted in the Program.
All clicks to our banners and images MUST 100% of the time direct the user to our website. Redirecting traffic to any other site with the usage of our material will result in immediate termination from our affiliate program.
Password Submission
You must provide, within 24 hours of our request, a working username-password combination for any password-protected areas of your Web site.

Upon termination of this Agreement or at any time upon ALS's request, the license granted herein shall automatically and immediately terminate and the Webmaster shall immediately remove all promotional materials for and hyperlinks to the ALS Web Sites from his/her Web site.
