level of hosting plan, or purchases additional services
from Us.
- In order for You to be eligible for commission for a
customer, a customer that You or one of your sub-affiliates
refer to Us must remain active as a customer of Hosting
Zoom for at least thirty (30) from the date he or she pays
for his or her first order for Hosting Zoom service. If

for that customer.

of HOSTING ZOOM’s 30-day money-back guarantee.
- HOSTING ZOOM also retains the right to review all commissions
for possible fraud, including but not limited to the use
of software that generates real and fictitious information.
Any incidence of fraud constitutes a breach of this Agreement,
and HOSTING ZOOM retains full authority to terminate this
Agreement immediately.
5. Commission Payment.
5.1. Commissions will be paid either via a Hosting Zoom check sent to the address
you provide at registration or paid directly to your PayPal account that you
provided at registration. You may change this preference within the affiliate
administration area. Hosting Zoom shall not be liable for any loss or damage
sustained as the result of any dealings with or otherwise arising out of disputes
with PayPal, Inc.
5.2. There are no minimum or maximum Affiliate commission payments, however
You must have at least Five Dollars ($5.00) of commissions payable to You in
a given month for Us to pay You for that month. If Your commissions payable
are less than Five Dollars ($5.00) in a given month, We will carry over Your
commissions into the next month and subsequent months until commissions payable
to You equal or exceed Five Dollars ($5.00). HOSTING ZOOM, in its sole discretion,
reserves the right to modify the terms of this commission payment method or
schedule.
5.3. Commissions shall be paid in United States Dollars (USD). No interest
shall be accrued or payable upon Affiliate commission accounts or on the amounts
of funds they contain.
- During the first full week of each month, commissions
shall be paid to You, for the commissions earned during
the previous month and carried over from earlier months,
if applicable, provided that the balance in Your commission
account is at least Five Dollars ($5.00).
5.5. In the event that any customer that You or one of your
sub-affiliates send to Us issues a chargeback for which We
are charged, You will not earn any commission for that customer.
If We have already paid You a commission for that customer,
then We will debit Your commission account by the amount
of commission we paid to You for that customer. You understand
and agree that Our debiting Your account for chargebacks
could result in Your commission account having a negative
balance. In the event that Your commission account has a
negative balance, You will not receive any further commission
payments until Your commission account has a positive balance
of at least Five Dollars ($5.00).
6. Reports of Sales.

to enter a password-protected site to receive Your sales

Our customers and the general public from nuisances such
as “spam.”This section of the Affiliate Agreement
document describes Our NO-SPAM Policy. Please read it carefully,
because it contains important information and because it
is a material part of Your Affiliate Agreement with Hosting
Zoom.
7.4. To report any spam You receive that identifies itself
as coming from the hostingzoom.com servers or claims to be
related to Hosting Zoom in any way, please send an e-mail
message to us at abuse@hostingzoom.com. In Your message to
Us, please include a complete and accurate copy of the message
that You consider to be spam, along with full message headers
and routing information for e-mail, a message board provided
by a Web site or an online service, Usenet, interactive chat
message, or instant message service, as the case may be.
7.5. Definition of Spam.
Unsolicited commercial e-mail and electronic messages are
colloquially referred to as “spam.”Other common
names for spam include “spam e-mail,”“junk
e-mail,”“bulk e-mail,”“direct e-mail,”and “mass
e-mail.”Spam is the electronic equivalent of the direct
mail you receive in your postal mailbox frequently.
In its most general terms, and as used in this NO-SPAM Policy
(the “Policy”), spam is:
- a commercial e-mail message or other electronic message,
including, but not limited to, messages that are:
- posted to an electronic mailing list (other than an “opt-in”e-mail
list as described below),
- posted on an online bulletin board system or Web-based
message board system or “guest book”,
- posted to a Usenet newsgroup,
- posted to the common area of an online community, group,
or club,
- posted in a chat room,
- posted in a message board of a commercial online service
(such as America Online),
- posted to a Weblog (“blog”),
- sent via an instant message system (such as ICQ, Yahoo!
Pager, Yahoo! Instant Messenger, or AOL Instant Messenger),
- sent through e-mail or another Internet means of communication
when the message’s ultimate destination is a facsimile
(“fax”) machine, cellular or wireless telephone,
or wireless device,
- a commercial e-mail message or other electronic message
that is addressed to one or more recipients with whom You
do not have a preexisting business or personal relationship,
- a commercial e-mail message or other electronic message
that is sent to a mailing list of addresses that You purchased
or that were otherwise distributed, or any list of e-mail
addresses whose owners did not sign up for Your specific
mailing list, including without limitation lists commonly
known as “affiliate lists,”
- a commercial e-mail message or other electronic message
that is not sent at the request of, or with the express
consent of, the recipient(s),
- a commercial e-mail message or other electronic message
that is sent to a recipient who has opted out of receiving
further commercial electronic messages from You, or
- a commercial e-mail message or other electronic message
that contains forged headers, compromised mail server relays,
or false contact information.
For purposes of this Policy, spam also includes any e-mail
or other electronic message that is sent in violation of
any applicable Federal, state, or local law regulating unsolicited
commercial e-mail, unsolicited fax transmissions, or any
other type of unsolicited commercial electronic message,
regardless of whether that message fits the definition of “spam”provided
above. For purposes of this Policy, all the terms and conditions
of this No-Spam Policy shall apply to any online solicitations
You may make to sell Hosting Zoom’s products and services.
7.6. “Opt-in”E-mail Lists.
Please note: messages sent to “opt-in”e-mail
lists are not spam, for purposes of this Policy, provided
that those messages meet all of the following criteria:
- the messages are sent to an “opt-in”e-mail
list in which ALL subscribers have VOLUNTARILY agreed to
receive announcements and advertisements about products
and services;
- the messages STRICTLY COMPLY with ALL the requirements
and regulations of the “opt-in”e-mail list;
and
- upon request of any subscriber to the “opt-in”e-mail
list, You immediately stop sending that subscriber any
e-mail regarding Your products and services.
If You choose to use an “opt-in”e-mail list,
please be aware that Hosting Zoom will consider ANY violation
of the requirements or regulations of such any third party
provider of software or services for such a list to be a
violation of this NO SPAM Policy.
7.7. Zero Tolerance for Spam.
Hosting Zoom will not tolerate any spamming by any of its
Affiliates. This prohibition of spam extends to the sending
of unsolicited mass mailings from another service, which
in any way implicates the use of Hosting Zoom’s services
whether or not the message actually originated from our network.
Violation of this NO-SPAM policy will result in Hosting
Zoom taking one or more of the following actions:
- A warning via e-mail or telephone, or
- Termination of this Agreement and forfeiture of any
unpaid commissions otherwise payable to You.
Hosting Zoom reserves the right to take all legal and technical
steps available to
prevent unsolicited bulk e-mail or other unauthorized e-mail
from being sent from
or transmitted through the Hosting Zoom Network.
PLEASE NOTE: The transmission of spam, including the transmission
of counterfeit e-mail, may result in civil and criminal penalties
against the sender, under various federal, state, and local
laws and regulations, including the federal CAN-SPAM Act
of 2003.
7.8. Indemnification of Hosting Zoom.
