Search Fadoo Listings:

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.
