Program Operating Agreement
(revised 08/04/03)
This
Agreement, made and entered by and between HEALlix, Inc.
("HEALlix" or "we"), a Utah Corporation,
with its principal place of business at PO Box 622 West Jordan
UT 84084, and you, the affiliate ("you" or
"Affiliate"), contains the complete terms and
conditions that apply to your participation in the HEALlix.com
Affiliate Program (the "Affiliate Program" or
"Program")
1.
Enrollment in the Program
You will
submit a complete Affiliate Program application from our site.
After we carefully 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 HEALlix. If
your site is accepted, HEALlix may terminate this Agreement
anytime thereafter if your site is determined (at our sole
discretion) to be unsuitable for the Program. Only sites in
English, and based in the United States are eligible to
participate in the HEALlix Affiliate Program.
2.
Promotion of Our Affiliate Program
Upon your
acceptance as an Affiliate Site, we will make available to you
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.
HEALlix
Agrees To:
·
Pay Affiliate $10.00 per sale that you refer from your site. No fees shall
be payable if a visitor leaves the HEALlix site without
purchasing HEALlix.

reached a minimum of $25.00. Accounts with a balance of less
than $25.00 will roll over to the next month.
