For example, we may reject your application if we determine that your site is unsuitable for the Program, including if it:
If we reject your application, you are welcome to reapply to the Program at any time. You should also note that if we accept your application and your site is later determined (in our sole discretion) to be unsuitable for our Affiliate Program, we may terminate this Agreement at any time. We will not be liable to you for any costs, damages or lost profits as a result of our termination of this Agreement. 2. How do I link my site THECATCONNECTION.com? We will make available to you banner advertisements, buttons and/or text links to our site. The links we make available could be in the form of:
Once you have selected the links/banners you would like to use, you will need to link them back to our site using your unique affiliate ID. These links will allow your visitors to enter our site and enable us to keep track of the sales you may earn if they purchase products from us. If we accept your application, we will provide you with detailed instructions describing how to include and maintain links to our site. To permit accurate tracking, and reporting the links we provide you are in a special "tagged" link format, or "Tagged Links". You are responsible for ensuring that each of the links between your site and our site is a Tagged Link. You agree not to modify the Tagged Links in any way. 3. How are customer orders processed? We will process orders placed by customers who enter our site via Tagged Links. We reserve the right to reject any orders that do not comply with our policies or conditions at the time of the order. 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. We will track sales made to customers who purchase using Tagged Links. 4. How do I get paid? We will pay you when visitors from your site use the Tagged Link to purchase products from us. Referral rewards are 10% of total from "Qualifying Purchases" made during a session. Commission excludes special order items or large furniture. "Qualifying Purchases" shall mean a purchase of merchandise offered on our site that meets the following criteria:
"Session" shall mean the period beginning upon a visitor's entry to our site via a Tagged Link (regardless of whether the visitor leaves and then returns to the site) and ending 30 days thereafter if the visitor accepts "cookies" from our site (see explanation below). Any Session in progress will automatically terminate upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement or upon the visitor deleting our cookie. Note regarding "Cookies": To keep track of the Session, we use a small text file called a "cookie" that is placed on the hard drive of the visitor's computer. Some web browsers permit users to elect not to receive cookies. Only visitors who accept cookies can be tracked for referral fees. You understand that no referral fee can be paid for any purchase made by a visitor who does not accept "cookies" or who has deleted our "cookies" during a session. 5. How much do I get paid? We will pay you 10% of all sales (not including tax and shipping) tagged with your affiliate ID. This does not include gift certificates and/or donations. Commission also excludes special order items and/or large furniture. 6. Who sets the policies and pricing for customers?

Because product prices and availability may vary from time to time, we cannot permit you to include pricing or product descriptions on your site independent of the materials we provide in the Links. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to present accurate information, but we cannot guarantee the availability or price of any particular product.

We may withhold your final payment for a reasonable time to ensure that the correct amount is paid. 10. Can this Agreement be modified?
