Wiley Long Enterprises Inc. Publisher Program
STANDARD TERMS & CONDITIONS

1.      Overview.

  1. Wiley Long Enterprises, Inc., a Colorado corporation ("HSA for America"), operates the www.HSAforAmerica.com web site (the "Destination Site"). As part of the Destination Site, HSA for America offers the CPA Affiliate Program ("Program"), through which approved companies operating their own web sites and/or subscription email services ("Publishers") are granted a limited, non-exclusive right to: (i) advertise and promote HSA for America goods and services and the Destination Site in a manner in compliance with this Agreement, (ii) post or circulate one or more approved graphical or textual internet hyper-links to the Destination Site ("Link(s)"), and (iii) direct visitors to the Destination Site.

  2. Publishers are offered the opportunity to earn a commission for referring unique customers to the Publisher's web site (i) who click on a Link to the Destination Site, and (ii) who complete the Transaction required under the Program on the Destination Site. The definition of "Transaction" and the commissions that may be earned by Publishers through the Program will be set forth on the Program Page for HSA for America (the "Program Page"). The commissions and all other information set forth on the Program Page may be changed from time to time by HSA for America by posting such changes on the Program Page and notifying Publisher with seven (7) days notice of such changes. Payment for commissions earned shall be made by HSA for America in accordance with the terms of the Program. No long-term commitment is required.

  3. Commissions will be paid to Publishers by HSA for America. Publisher acknowledges that HSA for America performs all actions, services and processing of insurance applications offered through the Destination Site and all other matters relating thereto, including but not limited to (i) the solicitation of insurance policies, (ii) the processing of insurance binders and other insurance related documentation, (iii) the collection of insurance premium payments, and (iv) all other insurance agent functions and activities (collectively, the "Insurance Activities"). The parties intend that the compensation payable by HSA for America to Publishers under this Agreement shall not constitute an insurance commission, and the parties agree that Publishers are not, by providing the Links, engaged in any Insurance Activities, and HSA for America shall not pay any commission to you based upon the condition that a Customer purchase an insurance policy through HSA for America. If HSA for America determines that this compensation method is not in compliance with applicable federal, state or other laws and regulations, HSA for America will determine an alternative compensation method in its reasonable discretion.

2.      Approval.

  1. Participation in the Program is subject to HSA for America's approval. Prospective Publishers must first submit an application to HSA for America in order to become an "approved" Publisher eligible to post Links to the Destination Site and earn commissions. After the application has been submitted, HSA for America will notify the prospective Publisher in writing (by e-mail or otherwise) whether or not it has been approved (approval is in HSA for America's sole discretion). Publisher is not authorized to post Links to the Destination Site for any Publisher web site that has not been approved in advance by HSA for America (in its sole discretion).

  2. During the application process, Publisher must acknowledge its acceptance of these Standard Terms and Conditions (the "Agreement") by clicking-through the "acceptance" button thereby assenting to the Agreement. This Agreement shall apply only to approved Publishers who accept this Agreement and only Publishers who accept this Agreement may participate in the Program.

  3. Other than the payment of commissions, Publisher shall have no claims to any additional compensation, commissions or business derived by or through a Destination Site.

  4. Participation in Program does not constitute an employment, broker or agency relationship between Publisher and HSA for America nor does it create any partnership, joint venture, franchise, or sales representative relationship between the parties.

3.      Authorization to Link to Destination Site.

  1. In the event Publisher's application is accepted by HSA for America, Publisher may use (to the extent provided in Section 3(B) below) the Links available on the Program Page as necessary to participate in the Program. HSA for America will provide the HTML for such Links at the Program Page, including a special promotion identifier that will make possible tracking and reporting of all Transactions acquired through Publisher's web site. It is the Publisher's responsibility to properly integrate the Links into its web site and e-mails in accordance with the instructions available on the Program Page, and HSA for America shall not be liable to Publisher for Publisher's failure properly to integrate the Links into Publisher's web site or e-mails. Publisher agrees not to modify any Links in any way without the prior written permission of HSA for America. Publisher may only display the Links on Publisher's web site for which Publisher's application was approved, and if Publisher has web sites other than such approved web site, Publisher must submit an application and accept and agree to the terms of this Agreement for each additional web site to display the Links on such web site. Without limiting the foregoing, Publisher shall not promote or otherwise announce the availability of the Links anywhere other than within Publisher's web site or in e-mails sent to Publisher's customers in accordance with Section 5(D) below.

  2. Notwithstanding Section 4.1 of your Publisher Service Agreement entitled, "Proprietary Rights and Licenses", HSA for America hereby grants to Publisher a nonexclusive, revocable, non-transferable and non-sub licensable license to display on Publisher's web site and in e-mails the HSA for America Links solely as necessary for, and for the purpose of, promoting the services associated with the HSA for America Links and identifying Publisher as a participant in the Program. To the extent that HSA for America Links contain HSA for America's trademarks, service marks or trade names, Publisher shall not use such marks in a manner that might be deemed to create a unitary composite mark. Publisher also agrees not to use the HSA for America Links in a manner that is, or otherwise include materials on Publisher's web site that are, disparaging of HSA for America or any third party. HSA for America reserves all proprietary rights in and to the HSA for America Links not expressly granted herein. Publisher agrees that this license can be revoked upon notice in accordance with 3(C) or 4(B) below. Publisher agrees upon receipt of such notice immediately to cease using all HSA for America Links. HSA for America shall retain all right, title and interest in the Destination Site and all intellectual property rights therein.

  3. You agree that Section 4.3 of your Publisher Service Agreement entitled, "Terminating Licenses", does not apply to this Agreement and your participation in the Program. Instead, Publisher agrees that HSA for America may terminate any authority to display or distribute Links, as well as any sublicense and/or license, under this Agreement, immediately upon written notice to the authorized party/sublicense/licensee if HSA for America has reasonable concerns that the authorized party/sublicense/licensee is diluting, tarnishing or blurring the value of HSA for America's trademarks, service marks, and/or trade names, and/or breach of HSA for America's other intellectual property rights.
