MASTER AGREEMENT
This Master Agreement ("Agreement") is made between
Sassy-Intimates ("Company") and
("Partner").
BACKGROUND
Partner and Company each desire to establish the general
terms and conditions which shall
govern advertising and commission arrangements between
Partner and Company.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
In consideration of the promises set forth below, we agree
as follows:
1. Offers and Engagements.
1.1. Sassy-Intimates may post offers to pay to
other participants a specified commission in return for
certain advertising services leading to a
Qualifying Link (defined below). If such offers receive an
affiliate number from the
Company they shall be deemed to be an "Offer" for
purposes of this Agreement.
The term "Offer" shall also include any counter-offers
resulting from an Offer.
1.2. If an Offer made by one party is accepted by the other
party in accordance with the
Offer's terms, an "Engagement" will have been formed.
1.3. At any time prior to Partner providing a Qualifying Link,
Sassy-Intimates may with or without
notice (a) change, suspend or discontinue any aspect of an
Offer or an Engagement or (b)
remove, alter, or modify any graphic or banner ad submitted
by the Company for an Offer or an
Engagement. Partner agrees to promptly implement any
request from the Company to remove,
alter or modify any graphic or banner as submitted by the
Company that is being used by Partner
as part of an Engagement.
2. Partner's Responsibilities.
2.1. Partner will link its site to areas within the Company's
site using special URLs specified in the
Engagement (the "Required URLs"). Partner may post as
many links to the Required URLs
and the rest of the Company's site as it likes on Partner's
site. The position, prominence and
nature of links on the Partner's site shall comply with any
requirements specified in the
Engagement, but otherwise will be in the discretion of
Partner.
2.2. Partner agrees not to make any representations,
warranties or other statements
concerning the Company, the Company's site, any of
Company's products or services, or Sassy-Intimates' site
policies, except as expressly authorized by the
Engagement.
2.3. Partner is responsible for notifying the Company of any
malfunctioning of the Required URLs or other problems with
Partner's participation in the
Engagement. The Company will respond promptly to all
concerns upon notification by Partner.
3. Commissions.
3.1. Sassy-Intimates agrees to pay Partner the commission
specified in the Engagement if the Company
sells to a visitor to the Company's site (a "Customer") a
product or service that is the subject of
the Engagement and if that Customer has accessed the
Company's site and purchased the product
or service via a Qualifying Link.
3.2. A "Qualifying Link" is a link from Partner's site to the
Company's using one of the Required
URLs or any other URL provided by Sassy-Intimates if it is the
last link to the Company's site that the Customer uses during
a Session where a sale of a
product or a service to Customer occurs. A "Session" is the
period of time beginning from a
Customer's initial contact with the Company's site via a link
from the Partner's site and terminating
when the Customer either returns to the Company's site via
a link from a site other than
Partner's site or the Engagement expires or is terminated.
3.3. Sassy-Intimates shall have the sole right and responsibility for
processing all orders made by
Customers. Partner acknowledges that all agreements
relating to sales to Customers shall be
between the Company and the Customer.

commission is payable will be made
by Sassy-Intimates and will be final and binding. Prices for the
products will be set solely
by the Company at its discretion.
3.5. Commissions are based on a percentage of Gross
Sales. The calculation of Gross Sales will include
the deduction of returns.
4. Ownership and Licenses.
4.1. Each party owns and shall retain all right, title and
interest in its names, logos,
trademarks, service marks, trade dress, copyrights and

sublicense, assign or transfer any
such licenses for the use of the same, and any attempt at
such sublicense, assignment or
transfer is void.
4.3. Partner grants the Company a non-exclusive,
worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce
and transmit any graphic or banner ad submitted by Partner
solely for co-branding purposes
or as a return link from the Company's site to Partner's site.
