This Agreement, made and entered by and between Home Medical Supply Center, Inc., D.B.A. 1800Wheelchair.com, ("1800Wheelchair" or "we"), a New York Corporation, with its principal place of business at 320 Roebling, Suite 515, Brooklyn, NY 11211, and you, the affiliate ("you" or "Affiliate"), contains the complete terms and conditions that apply to your participation in the 1800Wheelchair.com Affiliate Program (the "Affiliate Program" or "Program")
Enrollment in the Program
You will submit a complete Affiliate Program application from our site. After we review your application, we will notify you of your acceptance or rejection to the Program. We may reject your application (at our sole discretion) if we feel your site is unsuitable or inconsistent with the mission of 1800Wheelchair. If your site is accepted, 1800Wheelchair may terminate this Agreement anytime thereafter if your site is determined (at our sole discretion) to be unsuitable for the Program.
Promotion of Our Affiliate Program
Upon your acceptance as an Affiliate Site, we will make available to you (via 1800Wheelchair's affiliates site) a variety of graphic and textual links (the "Links"), which, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, you may display as often and in as many areas of your site as you desire. The Links will serve to identify your site as a member of our Affiliate Network and will establish a link from your site to ours. You will cooperate fully with 1800Wheelchair in order to establish and maintain the Links, and make sure the Links are properly formatted, in order to permit accurate tracking and reporting.
You also agree that you will display only Links and distribute only materials which are supplied by 1800Wheelchair (together known as "1800Wheelchair Materials"). A specific web page will be made available to you in order to review and select the 1800Wheelchair Materials you will use. You agree to substitute 1800Wheelchair Materials, at our request, and agree to do so as quickly as possible. 1800Wheelchair will not be liable to you for failure by you to properly use 1800Wheelchair Materials, even if such failure results in the reduction of referral fees due to you under this Agreement.
Any changes or modifications to 1800Wheelchair Materials must be approved by 1800Wheelchair and you must submit such requested changes or modifications to 1800Wheelchair, in writing. Any modifications or changes made without 1800Wheelchair may cause immediate termination of Affiliate from the Affiliate Program and would require immediate removal of all 1800Wheelchair Materials from Affiliate website(s).
