These Terms apply to your participation with https://leads4buyer.leadspedia.net/ (“Affiliate Program”). Each Affiliate Program product offer (an “Offer”) may be for any product and/or service(s) offering by BLX or a third party (each such third party a “Client”) and may link to a specific website for that particular Offer (“Offer Website”). Furthermore, each Offer may have additional terms and conditions on pages within the Affiliate Program and Offer Websites, which additional terms and conditions are incorporated by reference hereto as part of these Terms, however these Terms shall control in the event of any potential conflict between such additional terms and conditions and these Terms. By submitting an application or participating in an Offer, you expressly consent to abide by these Terms.
1. Enrollment in the Program
In order to be considered for acceptance into the BLX Affiliate Program, you are required to submit an Affiliate Program application, available at insert specific URL. Acceptance into the Affiliate Program requires that you complete the application accurately and promptly provide us with any changes to the information listed on your application. After we review your application, we will notify you of your acceptance or rejection into the Affiliate Program, which will generally occur within two business days. We may accept or reject your application at our sole discretion for any reason.
2. Usage.
2.1. As an Affiliate, you can promote Offers by logging into your dashboard for BLX Affiliates at insert specific URL.
2.2. As an Affiliate, you will be given access to links to the Offer Websites and other websites of Clients along with access to Clients’ various promotional materials and trademarks (“collectively the “Materials”). As long as you comply with these Terms and any terms of a particular Client, you can place the Materials wherever you like on your website.
2.3. BLX prohibits the promotion of Offers and/or the display of Client’s Materials via and/or bearing any affiliation to websites containing pornographic, racist, or illegal content. The classification of content as pornographic, racist, or illegal is determined at BLX’s sole and complete discretion.
2.4. BLX operates in full compliance with the following laws and requires compliance of such by all Affiliates: the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003, as amended and the e-mail marketing laws of the several states that are not pre-empted by CAN-SPAM; Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act (“FTC Act”), FTC Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising; the Telemarketing and Consumer Fraud and Abuse Prevention Act; Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (“PIPEDA”); the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (“TCPA”); the Telemarketing Sales Rule (“TSR”); the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act; the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996; the Fighting Internet and Wireless Spam Act (“FISA”); Canada’s Online Protection Legislation (“COPL”) (or more colloquially, “CASL”); and the regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, “Applicable Laws and Regulations”).
2.5. BLX will at all times attempt to monitor any misuse and will issue you warnings for instances of minor noncompliance. You shall be immediately and irrevocably terminated upon receipt of three warnings from BLX.
2.6. BLX may deactivate your account if you have violated any portion of these Terms, the Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, or any other agreement and/or policy entered into with BLX.
2.7. BLX reserves the right to remove accounts that have remained unverified since creation or have not been accessed in up to twelve months.
2.8. A Client may apply particular terms and conditions to how it deals with Affiliates. You must comply with the particular terms of any Client that you deal with in addition to these Terms. If you do not wish to comply with those terms, you should not work with that Client and deal with different Clients instead.
3. BLX’s Obligations.
We will make available to you via the Affiliate Program graphic and textual links to the Offer Website and/or other creative materials (collectively, the “Links”) which you may display on websites owned or controlled by you, in emails sent by you and clearly identified as coming from you and in online advertisements (collectively, “Media”). The Links will serve to identify you as a member of our Affiliate Program and will establish a link from your Media to the Offer Website. We will pay you for each Qualified Action (the “Commission”). A “Qualified Action” means an individual person who: (i) accesses the Offer Website via the Link, where the Link is the last link to the Offer Website, (ii) is not a computer generated user, such as a robot, spider, computer script, or other automated, artificial or fraudulent method to appear like an individual, real live person, (iii) is not using pre-populated fields (iv) completes all of the information required for such action within the time period allowed by BLX, and (v) is not later determined by BLX to be fraudulent, incomplete, unqualified, or a duplicate, which determination shall be made in BLX’s reasonable discretion.
We will pay you any Commissions earned on a monthly basis, provided that your account is greater than $100 at the time of disbursement. Affiliate Commission accounts with a balance of less than $100 will roll over into the next month, and will continue to roll over on a monthly basis until the $100 threshold is reached. We reserve the right to charge back to your account any previously paid Qualified Actions that are later determined to have not met the requirements to be a Qualified Action.
Payment for Commissions is dependent upon Clients providing such funds to BLX, and you therefore agree that BLX shall only be liable to you for Commissions to the extent that BLX has received such from the Clients. You hereby release BLX from any claim for Commissions if BLX has not received such funds from the Clients.
BLX shall automatically pay Affiliate all Commissions payable under these Term. All tracking of Links and determinations of Qualified Actions and Commissions shall be made by BLX in its sole and complete discretion. In the event that Affiliate disputes in good faith any portion of an commissions, Affiliate must submit that dispute to BLX in writing and in sufficient detail within fifteen (15) days of the last day of the billing month. If Affiliate does not dispute the Commissions payable as set forth herein, then Affiliate agrees that it irrevocably waives any claims based upon that invoice. In the event that Affiliate is also tracking Qualified Actions and Affiliate claims a discrepancy, Affiliate must provide BLX with Affiliate’s reports within three (3) days of claiming such discrepancy, and if BLX and Affiliate’s reported statistics vary by more than 10% and BLX reasonably determines that Affiliate has used generally accepted industry methods to track Qualified Actions, then BLX and Affiliate agree to make a good faith effort to arrive at a reconciliation. If the parties are unable to arrive at a reconciliation, then BLX’s calculations shall govern.
If Affiliate has an outstanding balance due to BLX under these Terms or any other agreement executed between the Affiliate and BLX, whether or not related to the Affiliate Program, Affiliate agrees that BLX may offset any such amounts due to BLX from amounts payable to Affiliate under these Terms.

10.1.3. Publisher Network Campaigns. If you maintain your own Publisher network, you agree to place the Links therein for access and use by those Publishers participating in your Publisher network (“Third Party Publishers”). You agree to expressly forbid Third Party Publishers from modifying the Links in any way.

You further agree to promptly remove and terminate the access of such a Third Party Publisher to future BLX Offers upon written notice from BLX. Unless BLX has received truthful and accurate contact information for a Third Party Publisher, and such Third Party Publisher has affirmatively accepted this Agreement as recorded by BLX, Publisher shall remain liable for all acts or omission of any Third Party Publisher. Under no circumstances will BLX be liable for any acts or omissions of a Third Party Publisher.
11. CONFIDENTIALITY
11.1. In General.
For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Confidential Information” shall mean: (a) any and all oral or written information that is identified, marked or otherwise identified as confidential and is provided by one Party to the other or that should reasonably be known, by the other Party to be treated as confidential; (b) either Party’s proprietary information; (c) information otherwise disclosed by either Party in a manner consistent with its confidential nature; (d) the terms and conditions of this Agreement and/or any IO, including but not limited to pricing information; and (e) other confidential or proprietary information, including, but not limited to, suppression lists, technical processes and other unpublished financial information, trade secrets, product and business plans, projections and marketing data. Neither Publisher nor BLX shall disclose or use the other Party’s Confidential Information for any purpose other than the purposes contemplated by this Agreement, unless such disclosure or use is allowed by written permission of the other Party. Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, either Party may disclose the other Party’s Confidential Information to the extent required by Applicable Laws and Regulations, but only after five days’ prior written notification to the other Party of such required disclosure. The Parties acknowledge that, as a result of the provision of services pursuant to this Agreement, one Party may disclose Confidential Information (“Disclosing Party”) to the other Party (“Receiving Party”). Therefore, the Receiving Party agrees that it will make no disclosure of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to any third party without obtaining the Disclosing Party’s prior written consent. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as granting or conferring rights by license or otherwise in any Confidential Information disclosed under this Agreement. This Section 10 shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement for a period of at least three years thereafter. Confidential Information does not include any information that: (i) is at the time of disclosure available to the general public or at a later date becomes available to the general public through no violation of this Agreement; (ii) as shown by written records, was specifically known to, or in possession of, the Receiving Party at the time of its disclosure by the Disclosing Party or its agent(s) free of any confidentiality obligation; (iii) as shown by written records, is acquired by the Receiving Party through a third-party which is not thereby breaching any obligation of confidence to the Disclosing Party known to the Receiving Party; or (iv) is independently developed by the Receiving Party without reference to any of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information. In the event that the Receiving Party becomes legally compelled (by deposition, interrogatory, request for production of documents, valid subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any of the Confidential Information, the Receiving Party will provide the Disclosing Party with prompt prior written notice of such requirement so that it may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or the Disclosing Party waives compliance with the provisions hereof, the Receiving Party may furnish only such portion of the Confidential Information that is legally required to be furnished. The Receiving Party agrees that monetary damages for breach of confidentiality may not be adequate and that the Disclosing Party shall be further entitled to seek injunctive relief.

1. Enrollment in the Program
In order to be considered for acceptance into the BLX Affiliate Program, you are required to submit an Affiliate Program application, available at insert specific URL. Acceptance into the Affiliate Program requires that you complete the application accurately and promptly provide us with any changes to the information listed on your application.

We may accept or reject your application at our sole discretion for any reason.
2. Usage.
2.1. As an Affiliate, you can promote Offers by logging into your dashboard for BLX Affiliates at insert specific URL.
2.2. As an Affiliate, you will be given access to links to the Offer Websites and other websites of Clients along with access to Clients’ various promotional materials and trademarks (“collectively the “Materials”). As long as you comply with these Terms and any terms of a particular Client, you can place the Materials wherever you like on your website.
2.3. BLX prohibits the promotion of Offers and/or the display of Client’s Materials via and/or bearing any affiliation to websites containing pornographic, racist, or illegal content. The classification of content as pornographic, racist, or illegal is determined at BLX’s sole and complete discretion.
2.4. BLX operates in full compliance with the following laws and requires compliance of such by all Affiliates: the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003, as amended and the e-mail marketing laws of the several states that are not pre-empted by CAN-SPAM; Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act (“FTC Act”), FTC Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising; the Telemarketing and Consumer Fraud and Abuse Prevention Act; Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (“PIPEDA”); the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (“TCPA”); the Telemarketing Sales Rule (“TSR”); the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act; the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996; the Fighting Internet and Wireless Spam Act (“FISA”); Canada’s Online Protection Legislation (“COPL”) (or more colloquially, “CASL”); and the regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, “Applicable Laws and Regulations”).

2.7. BLX reserves the right to remove accounts that have remained unverified since creation or have not been accessed in up to twelve months.
2.8. A Client may apply particular terms and conditions to how it deals with Affiliates. You must comply with the particular terms of any Client that you deal with in addition to these Terms. If you do not wish to comply with those terms, you should not work with that Client and deal with different Clients instead.
3. BLX’s Obligations.
We will make available to you via the Affiliate Program graphic and textual links to the Offer Website and/or other creative materials (collectively, the “Links”) which you may display on websites owned or controlled by you, in emails sent by you and clearly identified as coming from you and in online advertisements (collectively, “Media”). The Links will serve to identify you as a member of our Affiliate Program and will establish a link from your Media to the Offer Website. We will pay you for each Qualified Action (the “Commission”). A “Qualified Action” means an individual person who: (i) accesses the Offer Website via the Link, where the Link is the last link to the Offer Website, (ii) is not a computer generated user, such as a robot, spider, computer script, or other automated, artificial or fraudulent method to appear like an individual, real live person, (iii) is not using pre-populated fields (iv) completes all of the information required for such action within the time period allowed by BLX, and (v) is not later determined by BLX to be fraudulent, incomplete, unqualified, or a duplicate, which determination shall be made in BLX’s reasonable discretion.
We will pay you any Commissions earned on a monthly basis, provided that your account is greater than $100 at the time of disbursement. Affiliate Commission accounts with a balance of less than $100 will roll over into the next month, and will continue to roll over on a monthly basis until the $100 threshold is reached. We reserve the right to charge back to your account any previously paid Qualified Actions that are later determined to have not met the requirements to be a Qualified Action.
Payment for Commissions is dependent upon Clients providing such funds to BLX, and you therefore agree that BLX shall only be liable to you for Commissions to the extent that BLX has received such from the Clients. You hereby release BLX from any claim for Commissions if BLX has not received such funds from the Clients.
BLX shall automatically pay Affiliate all Commissions payable under these Term. All tracking of Links and determinations of Qualified Actions and Commissions shall be made by BLX in its sole and complete discretion. In the event that Affiliate disputes in good faith any portion of an commissions, Affiliate must submit that dispute to BLX in writing and in sufficient detail within fifteen (15) days of the last day of the billing month. If Affiliate does not dispute the Commissions payable as set forth herein, then Affiliate agrees that it irrevocably waives any claims based upon that invoice. In the event that Affiliate is also tracking Qualified Actions and Affiliate claims a discrepancy, Affiliate must provide BLX with Affiliate’s reports within three (3) days of claiming such discrepancy, and if BLX and Affiliate’s reported statistics vary by more than 10% and BLX reasonably determines that Affiliate has used generally accepted industry methods to track Qualified Actions, then BLX and Affiliate agree to make a good faith effort to arrive at a reconciliation. If the parties are unable to arrive at a reconciliation, then BLX’s calculations shall govern.
If Affiliate has an outstanding balance due to BLX under these Terms or any other agreement executed between the Affiliate and BLX, whether or not related to the Affiliate Program, Affiliate agrees that BLX may offset any such amounts due to BLX from amounts payable to Affiliate under these Terms.

10. CAMPAIGN-SPECIFIC METHODS
10.1. In General.
The following additional campaign-specific terms will apply to any Special Promotional Methods set forth below:
10.1.1. Email Campaign Requirements. You must download the Suppression List (the “List”) provided by BLX and filter your email list by removing email addresses that appear on the List. You may only send emails to the remaining addresses on your list. BLX will provide an opt-out method in all Links. If you receive an opt-out request directly, you must immediately forward it to BLX at Publishers@BLXmediaintl.net. All emails sent by you that contain Links may not include any content other than the Links, except as required by applicable law.
Failure to download the List and remove all emails from the database before mailing, or marketing to the List may result in Commission withholdings, removal, or suspension from all or part of the Affiliate Program, possible legal action, and any other rights or remedies available to BLX pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise.
10.1.2. Advertising Campaigns. No Links can appear to be associated with, or positioned on, chat rooms or bulletin boards unless otherwise agreed by BLX in writing. Any pop-ups or pop-unders used for the Affiliate Program shall be clearly identified as the BLX-Affiliate served in the title bar of the window. Any client-side ad serving software you use shall only be installed on an end-user’s computer if the function of the software is clearly disclosed to the end-user prior to installation, the installation is pursuant to an affirmatively accepted and plain-English end-user license agreement, and the software can be easily removed according to generally accepted methods.
10.1.3. Publisher Network Campaigns. If you maintain your own Publisher network, you agree to place the Links therein for access and use by those Publishers participating in your Publisher network (“Third Party Publishers”). You agree to expressly forbid Third Party Publishers from modifying the Links in any way. You further agree to maintain your Publisher network according to the highest industry standards, and are prohibited from permitting a party to be a Third Party Publisher whose web site or business model involves Objectionable Content. You must require, confirm, and verify that all Third Party Publishers affirmatively accept this Agreement prior to obtaining access to the Links. You must promptly terminate any Third Party Publisher who engages in activity, or could reasonably be expected to engage in activity, in violation of this Agreement. If you, BLX, or an Advertiser, suspect a Third Party Publisher of wrongdoing, you must disclose to BLX the identity and contact information for such Third Party Publisher. You further agree to promptly remove and terminate the access of such a Third Party Publisher to future BLX Offers upon written notice from BLX. Unless BLX has received truthful and accurate contact information for a Third Party Publisher, and such Third Party Publisher has affirmatively accepted this Agreement as recorded by BLX, Publisher shall remain liable for all acts or omission of any Third Party Publisher. Under no circumstances will BLX be liable for any acts or omissions of a Third Party Publisher.
11. CONFIDENTIALITY
11.1. In General.
For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Confidential Information” shall mean: (a) any and all oral or written information that is identified, marked or otherwise identified as confidential and is provided by one Party to the other or that should reasonably be known, by the other Party to be treated as confidential; (b) either Party’s proprietary information; (c) information otherwise disclosed by either Party in a manner consistent with its confidential nature; (d) the terms and conditions of this Agreement and/or any IO, including but not limited to pricing information; and (e) other confidential or proprietary information, including, but not limited to, suppression lists, technical processes and other unpublished financial information, trade secrets, product and business plans, projections and marketing data. Neither Publisher nor BLX shall disclose or use the other Party’s Confidential Information for any purpose other than the purposes contemplated by this Agreement, unless such disclosure or use is allowed by written permission of the other Party. Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, either Party may disclose the other Party’s Confidential Information to the extent required by Applicable Laws and Regulations, but only after five days’ prior written notification to the other Party of such required disclosure. The Parties acknowledge that, as a result of the provision of services pursuant to this Agreement, one Party may disclose Confidential Information (“Disclosing Party”) to the other Party (“Receiving Party”). Therefore, the Receiving Party agrees that it will make no disclosure of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to any third party without obtaining the Disclosing Party’s prior written consent. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as granting or conferring rights by license or otherwise in any Confidential Information disclosed under this Agreement. This Section 10 shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement for a period of at least three years thereafter. Confidential Information does not include any information that: (i) is at the time of disclosure available to the general public or at a later date becomes available to the general public through no violation of this Agreement; (ii) as shown by written records, was specifically known to, or in possession of, the Receiving Party at the time of its disclosure by the Disclosing Party or its agent(s) free of any confidentiality obligation; (iii) as shown by written records, is acquired by the Receiving Party through a third-party which is not thereby breaching any obligation of confidence to the Disclosing Party known to the Receiving Party; or (iv) is independently developed by the Receiving Party without reference to any of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information. In the event that the Receiving Party becomes legally compelled (by deposition, interrogatory, request for production of documents, valid subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any of the Confidential Information, the Receiving Party will provide the Disclosing Party with prompt prior written notice of such requirement so that it may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or the Disclosing Party waives compliance with the provisions hereof, the Receiving Party may furnish only such portion of the Confidential Information that is legally required to be furnished. The Receiving Party agrees that monetary damages for breach of confidentiality may not be adequate and that the Disclosing Party shall be further entitled to seek injunctive relief.
