AFFILIATES AGREEMENT - BRAND AMBASSADORS

The following are the terms and conditions (this "Agreement" or the "Terms") for affiliates that direct potential customers to Gracie Sports Nutrition, LLC (“Gracie Essentials”) web sites and where Gracie Essentials has agreed to pay the Affiliate Member ("Ambassador") for directing those potential customers to the COMPANY.

 

1. Acceptance: By submitting an application for becoming an Ambassador of Gracie Essentials, the Ambassador agrees to be bound by the Terms as stated herein without modification.

 

2. Nature of the Relationship: The nature of the relationship between Gracie Essentials and Ambassador will be that of independent contractors for all purposes and in no event will the Ambassador or any person employed by the Ambassador be held or construed to be employees of Gracie Essentials. Specifically, Gracie Essentials is not a member of any partnership, joint venture or franchise arrangement with the Ambassador.

 

3. Ownership and use of Gracie Essentials Materials: "Gracie Essentials Materials" include any legal materials, documents, contracts, software, products, web links, promotional material, email, information, or any other materials provided by Gracie Essentials, the website or any Gracie Essentials services in any way. Gracie Essentials retains complete ownership and all rights to the Gracie Essentials Materials. The Ambassador does not have the right to use or change any of the Gracie Essentials Materials without prior written consent of Gracie Essentials. The Ambassador does not have the right to use any Gracie Essentials Materials for third party or competitive use. All use of Gracie Essentials Materials without prior written consent, will cease after termination of this agreement.

 

4. Term: This Agreement will be for an indefinite term and can be terminated immediately without cause by either Gracie Essentials or the Ambassador providing notice to the other party. Upon termination, the Ambassador will stop using Gracie Essentials Materials and the Ambassador will discontinue any use of the Gracie Essentials trademarks.

 

5. Compensation: Gracie Essentials agrees to pay the Ambassador a commission of 20% (twenty percent) over all gross sales generated with the use of a coupon code and/or link assigned exclusively to the Ambassador. The coupon must be used by the consumer in the website store checkout and it is not valid for any other marketplace. The discount offered to the consumer through the code may vary and is not cumulative with any other promotions. If the consumer uses the Ambassador’s link, instead of a coupon code, the promotion will be automatically added to the checkout and the commission will be accrued to the Ambassador if the consumer completes the purchase through the same link.

 

Payments are calculated on the first business day of each quarter of the calendar year and payment will be sent within five business days when commission payable total $100 or more. The Ambassador will have access to an online report of his/her coupon usage or click through links by end consumers.

 

6. Taxes: The Ambassador is responsible to provide the Gracie Essentials with accurate tax and payment information that is necessary to issue a Commission Fee to the Ambassador. If Gracie Essentials does not receive the necessary tax or payment information within 90 days of a qualified purchase, which would otherwise trigger Commission Fees, the applicable commissions shall not accrue and no commission fees will be owed with respect to such qualified purchase. The Ambassador is required to submit a W8/W9 tax form to Gracie Essentials when required. The Ambassador is responsible for the payment of all taxes related to the commissions received under this Agreement. In compliance with U.S. tax laws, Gracie Essentials will issue a Form 1099 to the Ambassador if earnings meet or exceed the applicable threshold.
