BY CLICKING ON THE "SUBMIT APPLICATION" BUTTON AT THE END OF THE AFFILIATE APPLICATION, YOU (IF YOU ARE ACTING ON BEHALF OF YOURSELF AS AN INDIVIDUAL) OR YOUR COMPANY (IF YOU ARE ACTING ON BEHALF OF YOUR COMPANY) (THE "AFFILIATE") AGREE(S) TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT. PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE AGREEMENT CAREFULLY BEFORE ACCEPTING ITS TERMS.

Once you have agreed to the terms, you will be linked to our Affiliate Program Application. After you submit a complete Affiliate Application, we will evaluate it in good faith and notify you of your acceptance or rejection as an affiliate of ATG. We may reject your application for any reason or terminate this Agreement at any time if we determine, in our sole discretion, that Affiliate or any web site owned or operated by Affiliate (each an "Affiliate Site") is unsuitable for the Program for any reason, including but not limited to, if the Affiliate Site contains any harmful, threatening, defamatory, obscene, sexually explicit, harassing, or racially, ethically, or otherwise objectionable materials; promotes violence; promotes discrimination based on sex, religion, nationality, disability, or age; promotes illegal activities; and/or infringes or otherwise violates any copyright, patent, trade secret, trademark, or other intellectual property rights.

1. ATG Responsibilities.
As an Affiliate, ATG will make available to Affiliate a variety of graphic and textual links to establish a connection between the Affiliate Site and AstroToGo.com (each of these links referred to herein as "Links" or, individually, as a "Link") which, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Affiliate may display on relevant areas of the Affiliate Site. These Links will serve to identify the Affiliate Site as a member of the Program.

ATG will be responsible for providing all information necessary to allow Affiliate to make appropriate Links from the Affiliate Site to AstroToGo.com, however, all Links must be approved by ATG. ATG will be solely responsible for processing orders placed on AstroToGo.com by a customer following a Link from the Affiliate Site, tracking the volume and amount of sales generated through the Link, and providing information regarding an Affiliate's sales statistics. ATG reserves the right to reject any order for any reason. ATG will be responsible for processing order entry, payments, shipping, cancellations, returns, and customer service related to AstroToGo.com.

At any time ATG may change, suspend or discontinue any aspect of an offer or Link or remove, alter, or modify any tags, text, graphic or banner ad in connection with a Link. Affiliate agrees to promptly implement any request from ATG to remove, alter or modify any Link, graphic or banner ad that is being used by Affiliate as part of this Agreement.

2. Affiliate's Responsibilities.
Affiliate will link the Affiliate Site to areas within AstroToGo.com using the Links. The position, prominence and nature of Links on the Affiliate Site shall comply with any requirements specified herein or conveyed to Affiliate from time to time by ATG.

Affiliate agrees to promptly post at least one Link on an Affiliate Site in no event later than five (5) business days following the receipt by Affiliate of a notice of acceptance from ATG.

Affiliate agrees not to make any representations, warranties or other statements concerning ATG, AstroToGo.com, any of ATG's products or services, or AstroToGo.com site policies, except as expressly authorized herein.

Affiliate is responsible for notifying ATG of any malfunctioning of the Links or other problems with Affiliate's participation in the Program. ATG will respond as soon as commercially practicable to review such concerns upon notification by Affiliate.

Affiliate will be solely responsible for the development, operation and maintenance of the Affiliate Site and for all materials that appear on Affiliate Site, including but not limited to: (a) the accuracy and appropriateness of materials posted on the Affiliate Site; (b) ensuring that materials posted on the Affiliate Site do not violate or infringe upon the rights of any third party; (c) ensuring that the Affiliate Site does not contain any improper content; and (d) ensuring that the Affiliate Site is at all times in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations.

ATG will pay Affiliate on a monthly basis for accrued commissions payable with respect to products or services purchased and not returned or cancelled.

A "Qualifying Sale" is a sale as a result of the Link, if the Link is the last link to the ATG's site that the Customer uses during a Session where a sale of a product or a service to Customer occurs. A "Session" is the period of time beginning from a Customer's initial contact with AstroToGo.com via the Link and terminating when the Customer either returns to AstroToGo.com via a link from a site other the Affiliate Site or the Link expires or is terminated. A "Customer" is a U.S. or Canadian citizen over the age of eighteen (18) years old.

Affiliate acknowledges that all agreements relating to sales to Customers shall be between ATG and the Customer. Customers who purchase products or services through the Link shall be deemed to be customers of ATG. Prices for the products or services will be set solely by ATG in its discretion which may be changed by ATG at any time in its discretion.

All determinations of Qualifying Sales and whether a commission is payable will be made by ATG and will be final and binding on Affiliate.
