("Application"). We
will evaluate your application in good faith and will notify you of your

whatsoever, including, but not limited to our determination (in our sole
discretion) that your Site is unsuitable for the Program. Unsuitable Sites
include, but are not limited to, those that: (a) contain or link to nudity
or pornography or promote sexually explicit materials; (b) promote violence;
(c) promote discrimination based on race, sex, religion, nationality,
disability, sexual orientation, or age; (d) promote illegal activities;

or otherwise violate the rights of any third party: (f) contain in our
sole judgement material that is defamatory, fraudulent, or harassing to
us or any third party; or (g) promote the use of any pyramid or similar
schemes. Once
we accept your application, we will provide you with access to our affiliate
Site ("Affiliate Gateway"). If we reject your application, you
are welcome to reapply to the Program at any time. 2. LINKS ON YOUR SITE PRODUCT
ICONS AND HOME PAGE LINKS. You may select any one or more graphics offered
on the Affiliate Gateway ("Icons") to feature on your site.
You may change the selection of your featured Icons at any time, without
our approval. You can display on your site a word or words, graphic image(s),
or combination of words and images. The content, style and placement of
these words and images will be your sole responsibility and within your
sole discretion provided that you comply with the terms of this Agreement.
You must ONLY place word(s) or graphic image(s) links on your site utilizing
the code provided. You may NOT "hard" code image(s) on your
site. You may not modify any of our icons, content, tools, text, trademarks,
logos or any of our images (collectively "Images") in any way. For
each selected Icon, we will provide an electronic link to our site using
an Affiliate URL provided by us (a "Link"). It is your sole
responsibility to set up and maintain the electronic Link connecting your
Site to the appropriate page on our Site designated for that particular
Icon, and ensure that the electronic Link is in good and working order. You
may only display discount(s) and other Disney's Blast coupons on your
site that are (1.) sent directly to you by us, or (2.) are made available
to you on disney.go.com/disneyaffiliates
ONLY. You may NOT display a Disney's Blast discount or other coupons on
your site that you receive from any other source, to do so will be reason
for termination. You
acknowledge and agree that (i) the Links, Icons, Images, Search Boxes
or any other material provided to you by us
for inclusion on your Site may include Disney’s Blast trade name,
trademark, service mark and/or logo (the "Disney’s Blast Brand Features"),
(ii) you have no right to alter or modify such Disney’s Blast Brand Features
(iii) you will not use or display Disney’s Blast Brand Features or any
of the other Images in any manner that is defamatory, misleading, libelous,
obscene or otherwise potentially damaging to the reputation of Disney’s
Blast or the goodwill associated with Disney’s Blast Brand Features. 3.ORDER PROCESSING We
will process product orders placed by customers who follow any Links from
your Site to Disney's Blast Site. We reserve the right to reject orders
that do not comply with any requirements that we periodically may establish. We
will be responsible for all aspects of order processing and fulfillment.
Among other things, we will prepare order forms; process payments, cancellations,
and returns; and handle customer service. We will track sales made to
customers who purchase products using Links from your site to our Site
and will provide you with access to reports summarizing this sales activity.
The form, content, and frequency of the reports may vary from time to
time at our discretion but will generally be available on a continuous
basis. You hereby agree not to disclose the information contained in these
reports to any third party without prior written or electronic consent.
To permit accurate tracking, reporting, and fee accrual, you must ensure
that the Links between your and our Site are properly formatted. All HTML
tags are to be generated using the special HTML tags provided by us and
are not to be altered in any manner. We will not be responsible for tracking
and reporting sales that were not made through a Link formatted to our
specifications. 4. REFERRAL FEES We
will pay you fees for completed forms, to certain customers as defined
below. For a product sale to generate a Referral Fee, a customer must
follow a Link (in the format specified by us) from your Site to the Disney's
Blast Site and complete a registration form, and where applicable remit
full credit card approved payment to Disney's Blast. We will not, however,
pay Referral or other fees on any products that are subsequently purchased
after the customer has reentered Disney's Blast (other than through a
Link from your Site), even if the customer previously followed a Link
from your Site to the Disney's Blast Site. Products that are entitled
to earn Referral Fees under the rules set forth above are hereinafter
referred to as "Eligible Products." You
will earn Referral Fees based on the Sale Price of Eligible Products (as
defined above) or complete forms according to fee schedules to be established
by us (and which we retain the absolute right to modify at any time) "Sale
Price" means the sale price listed in our catalog for each product
that we sell or the subscription price of a Disney's Blast membership.
The Sales Price shall not include costs for shipping, handling, gift-wrapping
(where and when applicable), and/or taxes. 5. FEE AMOUNT
Referral
fees for completed registration forms from the Disney's Blast site earned
pursuant to Section 4 shall equal $5.00 per completed form. At our sole
discretion, we may establish other special referral fees or commission
rates with respect to certain promotions. 6. FEE SCHEDULE We
will pay you Referral Fees on a calendar monthly basis. Within sixty (60)
days following the end of each calendar month, we will send you a check
(or at our discretion, by electronic transfer to your bank account) for
the Referral Fees earned on Eligible Products that were shipped during
that month, less any taxes that we are required by law to withhold. However,
if the fees payable to you for any calendar month are less than twenty-five
dollars ($25.00), we may withhold those fees until the total amount due
is at least twenty-five dollars ($25.00) or (if earlier) until this Agreement
is terminated. If an Eligible Product that generated a Referral Fee is
returned or canceled, we will deduct the corresponding fee from your next
quarterly payment. If there is no subsequent payment, we will send you
an invoice due in ten (10) days for the canceled Referral Fee. 7. POLICIES AND PRICING Third
parties who buy products through this Program will be deemed to be customers
of Disney’s Blast ("Customers"). Accordingly all Disney’s Blast
rules, policies, and operating procedures concerning customer orders,
customer service, and product sales will apply to those Customers. We
may change our policies and operating procedures at any time and for any
reason. For example, we will determine the prices to be charged for products
sold under this Program in accordance with our own pricing policies. Product
prices and availability may vary from time to time. Because price changes
may affect Products that you already have listed on your Site, you may
not include price information in your product descriptions or otherwise
on your Site. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to present accurate
information, but we cannot guarantee the availability or price of any
particular product. 8. IDENTIFYING YOURSELF AS DISNEY'S
BLAST AFFILIATE NETWORK MEMBER We
will make available to you a small graphic image that identifies your
Site as a Program participant. You will display this logo or the phrase
"In association with Disney" somewhere on the "home page"
of your Site. The logo or phrase may be linked to the following message,
at your option: "Disney's Blast is pleased to have [sponsoring
Web Site name] as a member of our Disney's Blast Affiliate Network."
We
may modify the text or graphic image of this notice from time to time.

tool, text, trademark, or any of our images in any way. Disney reserves
