•  Links to Our Site - Once you have been notified that your site has been accepted as a WTD Affiliate, you may provide on your site, one or more Link(s) to our Main Home page at http://www.winetwitsdeals.com or other pages, as you deem appropriate. WTD will provide you with guidelines and graphical artwork to use in Linking to either of these web pages. To permit accurate tracking, reporting, and referral fee accrual, we will also provide you with a special Link format to be used in all Links between your site and our site. You must ensure that each of the Links between your site and our site properly utilizes this special Link format. You will only earn referral fees with respect to activity on our site occurring directly through these Links: we will not be liable to you with respect to any failure by you to use these Links, including to the extent that such failure may result in any reduction of amounts that would otherwise be paid to you pursuant to this Agreement.


•  Promotion of Our Affiliate Relationship - As an Affiliate Site, we will make available to you graphics and banners that you may display on your site. The Links will serve to identify your site as a member of our Affiliate Program and will establish a Link from your site to ours. General Links and email links will connect your site/email directly to our sales transaction area. By utilizing this Link, users of your site will be able to Order, directly from us, any products that are described or referenced on our site. We will also provide a General Link, which will connect your site to the home page of the WTD website. 


•  Link Placement - As an Affiliate Member of the Service, you may place and remove Merchant Links on Your site and in your email messages at your discretion. You may also state your own personal testimony regarding our website, and are encouraged to do so provided they are of a positive nature and not slanderous in any way. 


•  Order Processing - We will process product Orders placed by Customers who follow Links from your site to our site. We reserve the right to reject Orders that do not comply with any requirements that we periodically may establish or any orders that violate shipping or age requirements when purchasing alcoholic beverages. We will be responsible for all aspects of Order processing and fulfillment. Among other things, we will prepare Order forms, process payments, cancellations, returns and handle Customer service. Our network partner, HappyHours.com will track Orders made to Customers who purchase products using Links from your site to our site and will make available to you reports summarizing this Order activity. The form, content, and frequency of the reports may vary from time to time at the discretion of HappyHours.com. The following methods may be used to Link your site to WTD: 


•  General Link - You may provide a general Link on your site to our home page, either text or graphical in nature, which will be provided by WTD. 


•  Specific Links - You may provide Links to specific products, or category of products or any other publicly accessible page you wish. 


•  Customized Banner - Any banner created by your site for the purpose of Linking to WTDmust be approved by WTD and used at our discretion. 


•  Fee Schedule - You will earn commission fees based on the sale price of all products based on the fee schedules set forth between WTD and you. The current fee schedule is outlined by the offer you accept in your affiliate system. The commissions will be credited to your account whether it is purchased from a General Link or Customized Banner. You may also purchase products on our website for your own personal use through your Link(s) and still receive your total commissions. Commissions will be paid for every Order which occurs from a Customer who originated from your site to WTD. This includes subsequent Orders placed after the Customer accesses WTD directly as long as the affiliate cookie remains on the Customers computer. 


•  Fee Payment - Commissions fees will be paid on a monthly basis. Our network partner, HappyHours.com will send you a check for the cumulative commission fees earned on products that were shipped during that month and any and all other fees due to you. If the fees payable to you for any calendar month are less than $50.00, HappyHours will hold those fees until the total amount due is at least $50.00 or until this Agreement is terminated. Sales will be deemed "pending" after each sale to ensure delivery has been made, products have not been returned, and the Order is not fraudulent. Payments will be dispersed according to HappyHours.com policies.
