The Affiliate or other person or entity whose opinions, beliefs, findings, or experiences the Endorsement appears to reflect shall be referred to as the “Endorser.” Use of Endorsements is subject to the requirements below. PHR reserves the right to research, monitor and audit Affiliate’s use of Endorsements, and to determine, in PHR’s sole discretion, whether Affiliate is in compliance with these requirements. Failure of PHR to research, monitor, or audit Affiliate’s use of Endorsements shall not relieve Affiliate from compliance with these requirements.

Examples of acceptable disclosures include:
• “I may earn compensation for my review, promotion or mention of the PureHealth Research products discussed on this web site.”
• “I have partnered with PureHealth Research to make these products available to you.”
f. If an Endorsement represents, directly or by implication, that the Endorser is an expert, then the Endorser’s qualifications must in fact give him/her the expertise that he/she is represented as possessing with respect to the endorsement.
g. Affiliate may use the Endorsement only as long as Affiliate has good reason to believe that the Endorser continues to subscribe to the views presented.

4. Email. If Affiliate distributes Ads by email, Affiliate shall:
a. Remove from the transmission list any email address associated with any person who has previously requested not to receive commercial email solicitations from the “Sender” of the message, as that term is defined by the CAN-SPAM Act.
b. Remove from the transmission list any email address associated with a wireless domain name, as listed on the then-current list of wireless domains maintained by the Federal Communications Commission.
c. Ensure that each email message includes (i) clear and conspicuous notice of the recipient’s right to opt-out of receiving future commercial messages from the Sender; and (ii) a functional electronic mechanism that the recipient can use to make such an opt-out request, in compliance with the requirements of the CAN-SPAM Act and Federal Trade Commission regulations and guidelines implementing the CAN-SPAM Act.
d. Ensure that “subject” and “from” lines used in any email communications are truthful and non-misleading and do not otherwise violate the CAN-SPAM Act or any other federal and state consumer protection laws and regulations and do not infringe on the intellectual property rights of any third party.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, PHR has no obligation to monitor Affiliate Ads and is not responsible for Affiliate’s failure to comply with this Agreement. Affiliates that PHR determines, in its sole discretion, are in violation of this Agreement, will have their account permanently removed from the Program and will not be compensated.
Payment
1. PHR will pay Affiliate a commission (“Commission”) of forty percent (40%) of the advertised price for all sales of Product to consumers resulting from dissemination or distribution of an Affiliate Ad, exclusive of shipping, handing, taxes, merchant processing fees, refunds/returns, chargebacks, and any other charges related to the sale of the Product. A list of products and there applicable Commission payouts can be obtained by contacting affiliates@purehealthresearch.com. For Products sold to a particular customer initially brought to PHR for the first time by Affiliate, the commission shall be as described above. For subsequent order by such customer or orders to that customer on a recurring or continuity basis, PHR will pay Commission to Affiliate for each purchase made by that customer on the re-order, recurring or continuity basis equal to 40% of the net profits exclusive of all applicable fees, including but not limited to cost of goods and operational cost, in addition to those items mentioned above. PHR does not pay any commission on order from direct mail to existing customers because of the costs associated with printing and postage. However, the affiliate will receive commissions on re-orders placed by customers once they are reengaged by direct mail.
PHR reserves the right to change the Commission percentage payable to Affiliate for the sale of any Product at any time, for any or no reason. Such change in Commission shall be available to Affiliate at www.purehealthresearch.com/affiliate-program. If the sales price has been reduced or discounted, Commission will be paid on the discounted price. Products purchased by Affiliate at wholesale pricing or for personal use are not eligible for Commission. To track sales eligible for Commission, you can log-on to your account at: www.purehealthresearch.com/affiliate-program.
2. PHR calculates Commission due to Affiliates twice per month, for sales made from the 1st to the 15th of the month and sales made from the 16th to the end of the month (each period, a “Reporting Period”). PHR will make every effort to pay you the Commission due for a Reporting Period within 15 days following the end of the Reporting Period; however, PHR is not bound to make payments by this deadline. If you have questions about transactions eligible for Commission or dispute PHR’ reports regarding sales eligible for Commission, you must contact PHR at affiliates@purehealthresearch.com within three (3) business days following the end of the Reporting Period. PHR will work with you in good faith to resolve any such dispute; however, PHR shall have the authority to make the final determination, in PHR’s sole discretion, as to the resolution of all disputes. Unless otherwise arranged with PHR and confirmed in writing, payments to you will be made via Paypal to the Paypal address you have on file with PHR.
3. PHR shall pay to Affiliate a bonus Commission in the amount of two percent (2%) equal to Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000 USD) for each Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00 USD) in total Product sales (excluding shipping, handling, taxes, refunds/returns, chargebacks, and any other charges related to the sale of the Product) on an annual basis beginning February 1 of each year through January 31 of the following year, the “Annual Period” (the “2% Bonus Commission”). The initial Annual Period may begin in January of 2015 when Affiliate first sells the Product through January 31, 2016. For the avoidance of doubt, when Affiliate reaches $500,000 in total sales of Product in the Annual Period, Affiliate will be entitled to receive a 2% Bonus Commission of $10,000 USD. Affiliate will also be entitled to receive a 2% Bonus Commission in the amount of $10,000 USD for each additional $500,000 of Product sales generated (i.e., at $1,000,000, $1.500,000, etc.) during the Annual Period. Thereafter, the Annual Period will start over on February 1 of each year.
The 2% Bonus Commission shall be payable to Affiliate once annually within sixty (60) days of the end of the Annual Period (i.e., by March 31 of each year).
