AGREEMENT
This Agreement (“Agreement”) is made between Pesda Press Ltd. (“Pesda Press”) and you (“Affiliate”).
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
In consideration of the promises set forth below, we agree as follows:
1. Offers and Engagements.
1.1. Pesda Press will determine and offer a percentage commission rate for all successfully recorded click-through sales from the Site using the banners and links “Qualifying Link” provided by and agreed to by Pesda Press. This 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. At any time prior
to Affiliate providing a Qualifying Link, Pesda Press may with or without
notice (a) change, suspend or discontinue any aspect of an Offer or (b) remove, alter, or modify any graphic or banner ad
submitted by Pesda Press for an Offer. The Affiliate agrees to
promptly implement any request from Pesda Press to remove, alter or modify
any graphic or banner ad submitted by Pesda Press that is being used by
Affiliate as part of an Offer.
2. Affiliate’s Responsibilities.
2.1.
Affiliate will link its site to areas within Pesda Press' online bookshop using special URLs provided after the Offer (the
“Required URLs”). Affiliate may post as many links to the Required URLs
and the rest of Pesdapress.com as it likes on the Site. The position,
prominence and nature of links on the Site shall comply
with any requirements specified in the Offer and this Agreement,
but otherwise will be in the discretion of Affiliate.
2.2.
Affiliate agrees not to make any representations, warranties or other
statements concerning Pesda Press, Pesda Press' site, any of Pesda Press' products or
services, or Pesda Press' site policies, except as expressly authorized by Pesda Press.
2.3. Affiliate is responsible for notifying Pesda Press of any malfunctioning of the Required
URLs or other problems with Affiliate’s participation. Pesda Press will respond within reasonable time to all concerns
upon written notification by the Affiliate.
3. Commissions.
3.1. Pesda Press agrees to pay the Affiliate the commission specified in the Offer if Pesda Press sells to a visitor to the Pesda Press online bookshop (a “Customer”) a
product or service that is the subject of the Offer and if that
Customer has accessed the Pesda Press online bookshop and purchased the product or service via a
Qualifying Link.
3.2. A “Qualifying Link” is a link from
the Affiliate’s site to the Pesda Press online bookshop using one of the Required URLs or any other
URL provided by Pesda Press for use by the Affiliate if it is the
last link to the Pesda Press online bookshop that the Customer uses during a Session where a
sale of a product or a service to Customer occurs. A “Session” is
either (a) a period of 24 hours from the time of a Customer’s initial
contact with Pesda Press via a link from the Affiliate’s site or the Offer expires or is terminated or (b) if a Customer links to the Pesda Press online bookshop from more than one affiliate site within a 24-hour period, then
the period of time beginning from a Customer’s initial contact with the Pesda Press online bookshop via a link from the Affiliate’s site and terminating when the
Customer either returns to the Pesda Press online bookshop via a link from a site other than
Affiliate’s site or the Offer expires or is terminated.
3.3. Pesda Press shall have the sole right and responsibility for processing all
orders made by Customers. The Affiliate acknowledges that all agreements
relating to sales to Customers shall be between Pesda Press and the Customer.
3.4.
All determinations of Qualifying Links and whether a commission is
payable will be made by Pesda Press and will be final and
binding on both Pesda Press and Affiliate. Prices for the products will be
set solely by Pesda Press at its discretion.

not copy, distribute, modify, reverse engineer, or create derivative
works from the same. Any good will resulting from Affiliate’s use of Pesda Press' name, logos, trademarks, service marks and trade dress will
inure solely to the benefit of Pesda Press and will not create any right,

interface is not permitted. If Affiliate does not fully comply with
this provision Pesda Press may withhold commissions, immediately terminate
this Agreement and/or permanently remove Affiliate from the programme.
4.4.
Affiliate’s use of Pesda Press’s name, logos, trademarks, service marks, and

association or affiliation between Pesda Press and the Affiliate beyond the
arrangement outlined in this Agreement.
