Upon you agreeing
to the terms and conditions of this Agreement by completing
the on-line registration form, Fadoo.net grants to you
(hereinafter "Publisher") a limited and non-exclusive
and royalty free license during the term of this Agreement
to display SearchBox's, Dynamic Feed and other Fadoo proprietary
technology (hereinafter referred to individually or in
combination as "Intellectual Property") on Publisher's
web site only, and only in accordance with this Agreement.
Definitions
"Search Box" is embedded HTML or other source
code that appears on an Partner's site as an image or graphical
box, enabling users to access technology that displays
bided listings in order of the highest bid by entering
a keyword or keyword phrase. These listings or search results
may include a title, description and universal resource
locator (URL) of a Fadoo.net advertiser as well as other
information and when clicked, link a user seeking information
to a Fadoo.net advertiser's Web site.
"Dynamic Search Feed" is embedded HTML or other
source code used to access technology that allows a default
set of listings or search results, which may include a
site title, description and universal resource locator
(URL) of a Fadoo.net advertiser as well as other information,
to appear on a partner's site. Search results are displayed
based on a keyword or set of keywords and selected by the
highest bid amounts relevant to the partner's site content.
When clicked, a user seeking information is linked to a
Fadoo.net advertiser's Web site.
"Other Fadoo proprietary technology" is any
and all Fadoo.net proprietary material and information,
source code, paper or electronic documentation, methods
of display, methods of operation, trademarks, service marks,
and trade names.
Acceptable Use
Partner may use or display the Intellectual Property only
in the size, place and manner Fadoo.net may indicate from
time to time within Partner's web site and only in a manner
that complies in all respects with Fadoo.net's guidelines
as described herein or as may be modified in writing, or
electronically, from time to time by Fadoo.net in its sole
discretion. Partner acknowledges that all right, title
and interest in the Intellectual Property is exclusively
owned by Fadoo.net and/or its licensors, and is Fadoo.net's
proprietary property, and that no right other than the
limited display license granted herein is provided to Partner.
Fadoo.net does not accept any form of SPAM and detects/discards
all traffic from unsolicited e-mail, newsgroups, ICQ, unauthorized
adjustment of default home page or search features within
standard browser settings and all other methods other than
that generated from a human generated search. Spamming
by any of these methods will cause your partner account
to be terminated. Only one account is allowed per company
or organization unless agreed to in writing by Fadoo.net,
however, Publisher may use this account for multiple domains
and/or websites.
All valid clicks must be a result of a user performing
a search by entering keywords into a search box or clicking
on a text link. In either case, the search results displayed
must exactly match the keyword phrase being searched. Partner
agrees not to incentify a user in any way to click a Paid
Listing as this will result in immediate termination of
this Agreement. Partner may not send surfers via any 3rd
party banner or exit exchange program without first being
approved by Fadoo.net. Any Web page that contains a Paid
Link must only be viewable after a query is made by a User.
Without limitation, Partner's account may be terminated,
where Fadoo.net in its sole discretion, determines: (1)
that any content, goods, services, or links displayed on
or made available through or in connection with Partner's
Web site(s) are illegal, obscene, indecent, vulgar, offensive,
dangerous, or are otherwise deemed inappropriate; or that
Partner or Partner's web site(s) violates, has violated,
or threatens to violate the terms and conditions of this
Agreement or the spirit behind them.
Partner agrees that traffic is only allowed from the following
nations and regions Australia, Canada, New Zealand, United
Kingdom, Ireland and the United States.
All Users sent by Partner must come from a Web page as
newsgroup postings with hyperlinks, e-mail links, ICQ,
Instant Message, spamming or any other such practice that
could reflect negatively on our program are strictly prohibited.
Failure to comply to this request will result in the immediate
cancellation of the account from which the clicks were
generated and may also result in the forfeiture of any
funds owed to that account. The action of sending any hits
from any URLs which contain and/or promote the following
content: warez, MP3s, ROMs, EMUs, newsgroup postings, SPAM
e-mails, or any other site which contains content or promotes
activities which are illegal in the United States will
result in the immediate cancellation of the account from
which the hits were sent and the forfeiture of any funds
owed to that account.
Fadoo.net's Responsibilities
Fadoo.net will provide Partner Intellectual Property that
will enable a user of Partner's web site to type in a search
query that will provide search results generated by Fadoo.net
and/or enable a user to click on links that will allow
such users of Partner's web site to access Fadoo.net listings.
THE PROPRIETARY DATA WILL BE DISPLAYED ON PARTNER'S SITE
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE GUIDELINES HEREIN AND INSTRUCTIONS
POSTED BY FADOO.NET, AS MODIFIED BY FADOO.NET, FROM TIME
TO TIME.
Fadoo.net will provide Partner with a user ID and password
to access an on-line tool to view information about the
number of clicks that were generated from an Partner's
web site and the associated commission earned. Partner
understands and agrees that Fadoo.net pays commissions
based only on clicks, or advertiser site visits, AND THAT
THE NUMBER OF SEARCH REQUESTS GENERATED MAY NOT BE THE
SAME AS THE NUMBER OF ACTUAL CLICKS.
Partner's Responsibility
Partner shall provide users of Partner's web site a way
to perform search queries using the Intellectual Property
AS SELECTED BY PARTNER DURING REGISTRATION. Partner shall
not modify the Intellectual Property, which is herein licensed
to Partner. Partner is solely responsible for the creation
and maintenance of its own web site and for all contents
that appears on Partners web site. PARTNER MAY NOT REFERENCE
FADOO.NET IN ANY WAY WITHOUT FIRST RECEIVING WRITTEN CONSENT
FROM FADOO.NET. Partner may not issue any press release
or other public statements regarding this Agreement without
Fadoo.net's prior written consent.
Compensation
Fadoo.net will pay Partner a commission between 60 percent
of the bid amount earned by Fadoo.net for clicks generated
as a result of a link from an Partner's site. Fadoo.net
shall not pay Partner commissions for any search queries
generated from the Intellectual Property or related link
that were not generated by a valid search request. A valid
search request involves a user of an Partner's site entering
text into Search Box and clicking a button to submit a
search request to Fadoo.net. Fadoo.net will pay Partner
upon reaching a level of twenty five ($25.00) dollars or
twenty (45) business days after each calendar month, whichever
is less frequent, for all commissions earned under this
Agreement, less any taxes Fadoo.net may be required to
withhold, and less any amount Fadoo.net determines, in
its sole discretion, was not validly earned from proper
use of the Intellectual Property on Partner's site. In
other words, commissions earned during any calendar month
that are less than twenty five ($25.00) dollars, at Fadoo.net's
sole discretion, may be held until the next month in which
the total amount due is at least twenty five ($25.00) dollars
or until this Agreement is terminated. In the event Fadoo.net
has not received payment for a portion of such bid amount
earned, Fadoo.net may delay paying commission due to Partner
on such portion until 30 days after Fadoo.net collects
such portion.
Ownership of Intellectual Property
Partner agrees that this limited license to display Fadoo.net's
Intellectual Property inures to the benefit of Fadoo.net.
All good will or reputation generated by display of Fadoo.net's
Intellectual Property shall automatically vest in and shall
remain the property of Fadoo.net. Partner agrees not to
contest, in any court or other jurisdiction, the validity
of any of the Fadoo.net Intellectual Property, including,
but not limited to, Fadoo.net's trademarks, service marks
or trade names. During the term of this Agreement, Partner
shall not adopt, use, register, or apply for registration
of, whether as a corporate name, trademark, service mark
or other indication of origin, any of the Fadoo.net trademarks,
service marks or trade names, or any word or mark confusingly
similar to them in any jurisdiction.
Representations and Warranties
A. As to Fadoo.net:
Fadoo.net represents and warrants that it has the authority
to enter into this Agreement.
B. As to Partner:
Partner represents and warrants that it has full power
and authority to enter into this Agreement; and Partner
represents and warrants that the content on Partner's
web site, and/or the technology used by Partner in connection
with this Agreement are owned or legally licensed for
use by Partner; and Partner represents and warrants that
its web site does not violate applicable law or regulations
and does not infringe or violate any copyright, patent,
trademark or other similar Intellectual Property right,
or otherwise violate or breach any duty toward, or rights
of any person or entity.
Non-Liability of Fadoo.net
Fadoo.net does not warrant or represent that the Intellectual
Property will meet all or any of Partner's needs or requirements,
or that performance of Fadoo.net's Intellectual Property
will be uninterrupted or error free. Fadoo.net is not responsible
for any content provided by third parties, including advertisers,
or for any third party sites that can be linked to/from
the Intellectual Property. Fadoo.net and its licensors
make no other warranty of any kind, whether expressed or
implied, including without limitation, warranties of merchantability,

Confidentiality
During the term of this Agreement, Partner may have access
to certain non-public information of Fadoo.net, which information
a reasonable person would consider confidential or which
is marked as "confidential" or "proprietary" by
Fadoo.net, collectively "Confidential Information".
This Confidential Information does not include information
that is generally in the public domain. Partner agrees
not to disclose any Confidential Information to any third
parties or to use any Confidential Information for any
purposes except to carry out its obligations under this
Agreement. Partner shall take every effort to keep such
Confidential Information confidential, using the same degree
of care Partner uses to protect its own confidential information,
as long as it uses at least reasonable care. Each party
acknowledges and agrees that due to the unique nature of
the Confidential Information, any such breach may allow
one party or third parties to unfairly compete with the
other party resulting in great harm to non-breaching party.
This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the state
of Texas, and in the event of a dispute, Partner agrees
to submit to the jurisdiction of the state courts located
in Galveston County, Texas. This clause shall remain in
effect for two years after termination.
Indemnification
Partner shall indemnify, defend and hold Fadoo.net harmless
(including Fadoo.net's legal and expert fees) against any
and all damages, claims and awards brought or assessed
against Fadoo.net, resulting from a breach of any warranty,
representation or covenant made by Partner under this Agreement;
or arising from any action against Fadoo.net arising from
Partner's use or display of Fadoo.net's Intellectual Property
or arising from any breach by Partner of any of the provisions
or requirements of this Agreement, provided that Fadoo.net
promptly notifies Partner in writing of any such claim
and promptly tenders the control of the defense and settlement
of any such claim to Partner at Partner's expense and with
Partner's choice of counsel. Fadoo.net shall cooperate
with Partner, at Partner's expense, in defending or settling
such claim. Partner will not enter into any settlement
or compromise of any such claim without Fadoo.net's prior
consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Limitation of Fadoo.net's Liability
In no event shall Fadoo.net's liability arising out of
this Agreement exceed the net amount payable to Partner
under this Agreement during the three (3) months prior
to the date of such cause. Fadoo.net shall not be liable
hereunder by reason of any failure or delay in the performance
of its obligations on account of strikes, shortages, riots,
insurrection, fires, flood, storm, explosions, earthquakes,
Internet outages, acts of God, war, governmental action,
or any other cause that is beyond the reasonable control
of Fadoo.net.
Term
The term of this Agreement shall commence on the date
Fadoo.net receives Partner's registration and shall continue
in force thereafter, unless earlier terminated as provided
herein. If Partner breaches this Agreement, or if Partner
engages in any action that, in Fadoo.net's sole discretion,
reflects poorly on Fadoo.net or its trademarks, service
marks, trade name or reputation, Fadoo.net may terminate
the Agreement immediately upon notice to Partner. Either
party may terminate this Agreement on thirty (30) days
written notice to the other party for any reason. Upon
the termination of this Agreement for any reason, all license
rights granted herein shall terminate immediately, and
Partner shall immediately cease use of the Intellectual
Property and of all Fadoo.net's trademarks, service marks
and trade names incorporated in the Intellectual Property.
Fadoo.net reserves the right to terminate any account
if it is inactive for more than 30 calendar days. Fadoo.net
reserves the right to terminate the account of any Partner
who publicly posts derogatory and/or slanderous statements
about Fadoo.net, or any of its subsidiaries or officers.
Any artificial means of generating traffic including, but
not limited to, hitbots, multiple clicking scripts, hidden
links and incentivizing surfers in any way or any other
similar activity will result in forfeiture of all monies
owed and possible criminal prosecution. Partner must have
all referring pages written entirely in English. Non-compliance
with these terms and conditions may result in the forfeiture
of all monies owed and permanent locking of account.
Notices
Any notice required for or permitted by this Agreement
relating to the Partner shall be in writing and shall be
delivered by personal delivery, by overnight courier, by
certified or registered mail; or by email. All notices

Agreement.
Changes to Agreement
Fadoo.net may change this Agreement at any time upon publishing

Entire Agreement
This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding between
the parties with respect to the subject matter and supersedes
all previous agreements, written or oral, between Partner
and Fadoo.net. If any provision of this Agreement is held
or made invalid or unenforceable for any reason, such invalidity
shall not affect the remainder of this Agreement.
Non-Waiver
The terms or covenants of this Agreement may be waived
only by a written instrument executed by the party waiving
compliance. The failure of either party at any time or
times to require performance of any provision hereof shall
in no manner affect the right at a later time to enforce
the same. No waiver by either party of the breach of any
term or covenant contained in this Agreement, whether by
conduct or otherwise, in anyone or more instances, shall
be deemed to be, or construed as, a further or continuing
waiver of any such breach or a waiver of the breach of
any other term or covenant contained in this Agreement.
