DEFINITIONS
"Affiliate Marketing" or "Performance Marketing" or "Revenue Sharing" occurs when online businesses ("Merchants") and web sites that generate online traffic ("Affiliates") partner to drive Visitors to SongScope's Web site and SongScope pays a reward when the Visitor referral results in a sale, lead, or click. "Visitor" means any person, Web surfer or user that clicks on a Link to SongScope’s Web site placed on an Affiliate's Web site. "Commission" means the amount per-sale, paid by SongScope to an Affiliate. The Commission may be expressed as a set amount or as a percent of sales. "Link" means a hyperlink placed on an Affiliate Member's site that, when clicked on, serves SongScope's Web site to the Visitor's browser. The Link may be in the form of text, a product image, a button, a banner or any other format acceptable to the Merchant. "Chargeback" means a reversal of a Payout previously earned for a sale, lead, or click that is later rescinded or corrected by the Merchant. A Chargeback is defined and limited to product returns, duplicate entries, non-qualified sales, and unauthorized payment or non-receipt of payment from the Visitor to SongScope. "Your Account" means a separate, specific account within the Service that is credited with Your Commissions and other earnings.

THE SERVICE
SongScope has developed and operates a service (the "Service") which allows Web sites to participate in an Affiliate Marketing program. You wish to become an Affiliate Member of SongScope and utilize the Service as an Affiliate. As an Affiliate Member of SongScope you will be establishing Revenue Sharing arrangements with SongScope, Inc. This relationship will be conducted and managed through the Service.

LINK PLACEMENT
As an Affiliate Member of the Service, you may place and remove SongScope Links on Your site and in Your email messages at Your discretion.

AFFILIATE PAYMENT
You will receive a Commission for sending SongScope authorized sales via Your Links. In order to place Links, You must first be approved by SongScope to become an Affiliate of SongScope’s program. You understand that the Payout amount may be changed at any time. SongScope will notify You, the Affiliate, via email of any Payout changes. This information is also available to You at the SongScope Affiliate’s Area. You are responsible for determining if the Payout for a Link You have placed on Your site has changed or been discontinued. You receive the Commission from SongScope. Payments are made automatically on the twentieth (20th) day of each month when Your account balance reaches $25 for the previous months' transactions. Money credited to Your Account does not accrue interest. In the event of a Chargeback by a Merchant, SongScope may recover from You the corresponding Commission previously credited to Your Account. The Chargeback Commission will be immediately deducted from Your Account balance. In the event that Your Account balance is less than the Chargeback Commission, the Chargeback Commission will be deducted against Your future earnings.

SERVICE MAINTENANCE
SongScope will provide support for the Service as indicated on the SongScope Web site.

EMAIL CONTACT
SongScope reserves the right to send e-mail to You for the purposes of informing you of applicable changes or additions to the Service or any SongScope related products and services.

LIMITED WARRANTY
The Service, its operation, its use and the results of such use shall be performed in a workmanlike manner. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE PURSUANT TO APPLICABLE LAW, SongScope DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, IN RELATION TO THE SERVICE, ITS USE AND THE RESULTS OF SUCH USE.

APPLICABLE LAW MAY NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. SongScope will make reasonable commercial efforts to keep its transaction service operational during normal business hours. However, certain technical difficulties may, from time to time, result in temporary service interruptions. Affiliate understands and acknowledges that it is normal to have a certain amount of system downtime and further agrees not to hold the Merchant liable for any of the consequences of such interruptions.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

BECAUSE SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, THE ABOVE EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN SUCH JURISDICTIONS, SongScope'S LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE SMALLEST AMOUNT PERMITTED BY LAW. THIS PARAGRAPH WILL SURVIVE THE FAILURE OF ANY EXCLUSIVE OR LIMITED REMEDY. You agree that SongScope, although the provider of the Service, has no responsibility or liability as a result of Your placement of authorized Links from Your Web site, and You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless SongScope and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees and agents from and against any and all liability, claims, losses, damages, injuries or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) directly or indirectly arising from or relating to any offer or any other matter related to this Agreement or the subject matter hereof and any dispute relating thereto.
