This includes, but is not limited to: credit card processing, order tracking, shipping, and customer service.

Referrals

LIP-INK® will track all sales originating from The Site, and accordingly pay a 10% commission on such sales. For a referral commission to be paid, a visitor from The Site must click on an Affiliate link and add a LIP-INK® product to their shopping cart. The Applicant may not purchase LIP-INK® products through The Program for personal use or for resale. The Applicant may not offer incentive to any entity for purchasing LIP-INK® Cosmetic products through the Affiliate program.

LIP-INK® will not pay referral fees if a visitor from The Site makes a purchase upon reentering www.lipink.com through means other than an Affiliate Link.

If a visitor from The Site purchases LIP-INK® Cosmetic products, qualifying The Applicant for referral fees, and returns any items, the commission from those items will be deducted from the total commission paid to The Applicant.

Affiliate Identification

The Applicant may not issue any press release with respect to The Agreement or The Applicant's participation in The Program; such action may result in The Applicant's termination from The Program. LIP-INK® will make available to The Applicant a small graphic image that identifies The Site as an Affiliate. This logo or the phrase "In association with www.lipink.com" must appear somewhere on The Site. In addition, The Applicant may not in any manner misrepresent or embellish the relationship between The Applicant and LIP-INK® , or express or imply any relationship or affiliation between The Applicant and LIP-INK® or any other person or entity except as expressly permitted by The Agreement.

The Applicant is eligible to earn referral fees only on LIP-INK's sales described above that occur during the term, and referral fees earned through the date of termination will remain payable only if the related orders are not canceled or returned. LIP-INK® may withhold The Applicant's final payment for a reasonable time to ensure that the correct amount is paid.

Modification of Terms

LIP-INK® may modify any of the terms and conditions of The Agreement with or without cause with a written statement to The Applicant or a posting on LIP-INK's site. If the modifications are unacceptable to The Applicant, termination is the only action that can be taken by The Applicant. Silence on the part of The Applicant in regard to the changes constitutes acceptance of the modifications by LIP-INK.

The Applicant will have no authority to make or accept any offers or representations on behalf of LIP-INK.
