2. Referring Customers
a. Web Site Links
Once you have been notified that you and
your site has been accepted into the Program, you may provide on your site one or more of the various links to
our site that will be made available to you through our affiliate web site. Four Hearts, LLC will occasionally change the appearance and type of links made available to
affiliates. Four Hearts, LLC may change the appearance of these
links and may make changes to their appearance at any time without your prior consent or notification. To permit
accurate tracking, reporting, and referral commission accrual, we will provide you with special "tagged" link
formats to be used in all links between your site and our site. You must ensure that each of the links between
your site and our site properly utilizes such special link formats. Links to our site placed on your site
pursuant to this Agreement and which properly utilize such special link formats are referred to as "Special
Links." You will only earn referral commissions with respect to activity on our site occurring directly through
the Special Links provided by us. We will not be liable to you with respect to any failure by you to use Special
Links or by the improper implementation or use of these Special Links, including to the extent that such failure
may result in any reduction of amounts that would otherwise be paid to you pursuant to this Agreement.
b. Promotion Codes
Optionally, and/or in addition to the use
of Special Links, we may allow you to enter unique "Promotion Codes." Any such Promotion Code can be
utilized by any customer during the checkout process. When a customer enters a valid Promotion Code your
affiliate account will be credited with the appropriate referral commission pursuant to this agreement.
Promotion Codes may consist up to a maximum of 20 characters consisting of alphanumeric characters or spaces
only.
3. Order Processing
We will process product orders placed by customers who follow Special Links from your site to our site or who enter
a valid Promotion Code during checkout. 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 in connection with product orders. We will track sales made to customers who purchase
products using Special Links from your site to our site or who enter a valid Promotion Code during checkout and
will make available to you reports summarizing this sales activity. The form, content, and frequency of the reports
may vary from time to time at our discretion.
4. Referral Commissions
We will pay you (in accordance with Sections 5 and 6 below) referral commissions on certain product sales to third
parties. For a product sale to be eligible to earn a referral commission, a Customer must follow a Special Link
from your site to our site or must enter a valid Promotion Code during checkout, select and purchase the product
using our automated ordering system, accept delivery of the product at the shipping destination, and remit full
payment to us ("Qualifying Sale"). A "Customer" is defined as a unique user who generates his or her qualified
purchase through an Affiliate's Special Link or use of a valid Promotion Code. If a Customer creates
a Qualified Purchase with Four Hearts, LLC after the process of making a Qualifying Sale, that
customer made a transaction will another referral agent, then the agent whom referred the
customer first, based upon our tracking system earns the "Qualifying Sale." We reserve the right to exempt
from this Program, in our sole discretion, specific products or transactions for sale on our site. Exempted
product or transaction totals will be subtracted from customer orders before calculating your referral
commission and reflected accordingly in your site statistics. You may request a list of the exempted products or
transactions at any time. The Program is intended for commercial use only, and you may not purchase products
through the Program for your own use or for resale or other commercial use. Such purchases may result (in our sole
discretion) in the withholding of referral commissions or the termination of this Agreement. In addition, you may
not: (a) directly or indirectly offer any person or entity any consideration or incentive (including, without
limitation, payment of money (including any rebate), or granting of any discount or other benefit) for using
Special Links on your site to access our site (e.g., by implementing any "rewards" program for persons or entities
who use Special Links on your site to access our site); (b) read, intercept, record, redirect, interpret, or fill
in the contents of any electronic form or other materials submitted to us by any person or entity; (c) in any way

site; (d) make any orders or subscription requests, or engage in other transactions of any kind on our site on
behalf of any third party, or authorize, assist, or encourage any other person or entity to do so; (e) take any

which any functions or transactions (e.g., search, order, browse, and so on) are occurring; (f) post or serve any
advertisements or promotional content around or in conjunction with the display of our site (e.g., through any
"framing" technique or technology or pop-up windows), or assist, authorize, or encourage any third party to take
any such action; or (g) use any of our designated trademarks in any pay-per-click marketing or advertising campaign

fees otherwise payable to you under this Agreement and/or terminate this Agreement.
