This Agreement contains the terms and conditions upon which we offer youâ¨participation in the Burger Motorsports, Inc, Affiliate Programâ¨(the âProgramâ). The Program is being managed by Refersion, our affiliateâ¨marketing platform, to facilitate relationships
with our affiliates and toâ¨provide tracking, reporting,and management of commission payments. Acceptance⨠of this Agreement by participation in the Program creates a binding legalâ¨agreement between Burger Motorsports, Inc (âBurger Motorsports, Incâ) and you. As used in this Agreement, "we" or âusâ means Burger Motorsports, Inc, "you" means the participant in the Program, andâ¨"our Websiteâ means
www.burgertuning.com. This Agreement supplements the burgertuning.com⨠Terms and Conditions, and Privacy Policy which are incorporated by this⨠reference.
1.Enrollment In The Program
The purpose of the Program is to promote the sale of products offered on our
Website.â¨To begin the enrollment process, you must submit an application through the
Program Registration Page on our Website. When you provide information during
the registration process, you agree to provide only true, accurate, current and⨠complete
information and to update it as necessary to maintain its truth and⨠accuracy.
We will evaluate your application and notify you of your acceptance⨠or
rejection. We may reject your application for any reason in our sole⨠discretion.
We may reject applications related to websites that: (i) promote⨠discrimination
based on race, sex, religion, nationality, disability, sexual⨠orientation,
or age; (ii) promote violence,⨠hate, illegal activities or display sexually explicit
materials; (iii) areâ¨intended to harass or defame anyone; or (iv) otherwise
violate our intellectualâ¨property rights or those of others. We have the right, in
our sole discretion,â¨to monitor your website at any time to determine if you
are in compliance withâ¨the terms of this Agreement. If we â¨reject your application, you are welcome
to reapply to the Program at any time⨠for our reconsideration.
2. Program Links To Our Website
If you have been notified that you have been accepted into the Program we may,
at our option, enable you to provide on your Website one or more of the following â¨types
of links to our Website: Affiliate Links, Coupon Codes or Email Triggersâ¨(collectively,
âProgram Linksâ). These links are to permit accurate tracking, reporting
and accrual of commissions and may be provided to you in the Program â¨Registration
Page on our Website.
You must ensure that each link between your website and our Website is a Program⨠Link.
You will earn commissions on sales that originate through Program Links.â¨In
order for you to be eligible for a commission on any purchase (including â¨future
purchases by a repeat customer), the customer must log in to⨠burgertuning.com through
your Program Link and complete the purchase beforeâ¨logging out. We are not
responsible for any failure by you to use Programâ¨Links. Because of the difficulty
verifying other purchases by customers youâ¨refer to us, we will not pay
commissions unless you use Program Links. Finally,â¨please note that you may
only earn commissions by referring customers to burgertuning.com.
3.Use of Content
We may provide you with product images, graphics, logos and other content
(âContentâ)⨠through the Program Registration Page on our Website. We may make available to⨠you a

6. Order Processing
We will process product orders placed by customers who follow a Program Link
fromâ¨your website to our Website. We reserve the right to reject orders that do notâ¨comply
with any requirements that we may establish. We will be responsible forâ¨all
aspects of order processing and fulfillment. Among other things, we willâ¨prepare

make available to you reports summarizing this sales activity. You willâ¨not
receive any of our individual customer information.

You will be eligible to earn affiliate payments on certain product sales inâ¨accordance
with Section 8 below. For a product sale to be eligible forâ¨payments,
the customer must follow a Program Link from your website to ourâ¨Website,
select and purchase the product using our service providerâs shoppingâ¨platform,
accept delivery of the product at the shipping destination, and remitâ¨full
payment to us. No affiliate payments will be paid if the visitor to theâ¨affiliateâs website cannot be tracked by our system.
8. Earning Affiliate Payments
We may pay affiliates based on a percentage of sales, a flat rate, or a tieredâ¨commission
structure. The payment method and percentage is subject to changeâ¨from
time to time, in our sole discretion. Certain affiliates may receiveâ¨offers
to be paid under different commission structures as we may determineâ¨from
time to time. If a product that generated commissions is returned by theâ¨customer,
we will deduct the corresponding commission from your next commissionâ¨payment.
All commission related data under the Program is collected, calculatedâ¨and
managed by Refersion, our affiliate marketing platform, and its data willâ¨be the
only valid basis used for determining commissions.
9. Length of Cookie Purchase Period
Our Program uses a ten (10) day cookie purchase period. This means that if aâ¨visitor
to your website clicks through a Program Link to our Website, you will â¨be
eligible for commissions related to purchases made by your visitor within ten
(10) days of its click on the Program Link on your website. We will pay⨠commissions
to only one affiliate for purchases associated with a given cookie.â¨To the
extent multiple affiliates request payments, Refersion shall determine⨠which
affiliate to pay. Its decision shall be final and binding. We may change â¨the
length of our cookie period from time to time.
10. Commission Payments
No commissions will be paid to you until you have accrued affiliate payments of
at least â¨$25.00. Any money held in your account will not collect interest. Subject to⨠the
foregoing, we will pay commissions on a quarterly basis. Sixty (60) days⨠following
the end of each quarter, we will pay commissions to you through⨠PayPal
or we may give you a gift card at your option. You authorize us to share â¨with
PayPal such information and other transaction information necessary for our â¨use of
the payment processing services provided by PayPal.
If a product that generated commissions is returned by the customer, we will⨠deduct
the corresponding commission from your next commission payment. If there⨠is no
subsequent affiliate payment to you, we will send you a bill for the⨠commission.   Â
 Â
Affiliate accounts that are âabandonedâ will be removed from the Program if
their balanceâ¨is less than $25. An abandoned account is any account that has not been logged⨠into
for a period of one (1) year without any transactions havingâ¨been posted to that account.
11. Customer Policies And Pricing
Customers who buy products through the Program are customers of
burgertuning.com. All ofâ¨our rules, policies, and operating procedures concerning
customer orders, â¨customer service, and product sales will apply to those customers. We may â¨change
our policies and operating procedures at any time. 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. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to present⨠accurate
information, but we cannot guarantee the availability or price of any⨠particular
product.
12.Special Rules for Endorsements
All endorsements made by you in connection with any promotions of any product
will⨠be accurate and contain all disclosures and disclaimers necessary to prevent⨠such
endorsements from being false or deceptive. Such disclosures and â¨disclaimers
