8.  Revenue Share Payments.  (a)  During the term of this Agreement, we agree to pay you a revenue share (the "Revenue Share") equal to the applicable percentage of Net Revenue determined pursuant to the schedule set forth in the Affiliate Program overview/description materials posted on the Pepperjam or otherwise provide by us.  We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to change, modify, add or remove portions of this Revenue Share schedule at any time without notice.  For purposes of this Agreement, "Net Revenue" means all cash consideration (not including any portion of payment made through the redemption coupons or credits, or the purchase of gift certificates or gift cards) from merchandise sold in a transaction resulting directly from a Qualifying Link tracked by eBay Enterprise Affiliate from your website to the Merchant Website in accordance with this Agreement, where the customer purchases such merchandise, less all taxes, shipping and handling charges, gift wrapping and other value-added service charges, returns and chargebacks.  You acknowledge and agree that we will not be obligated to pay any revenue share unless we actually ship the applicable order and receive full payment for such order.  

(b)  A transaction may be deemed to be resulting directly from a Qualifying Link tracked by eBay Enterprise Affiliate from your website to the Merchant Website if:   (i) such purchase is made during the time period set forth by us through the Pepperjam after the customer has initially entered our website through your tracked Qualifying Link ("Revenue Share Time"). After the Revenue Share Time, we will not pay referral fees on any products that are added to a customer's shopping cart after the customer has re-entered our website (other than through a Qualifying Link from your website), even if the customer previously followed a link from your website to our website. (ii)  your tracked Qualifying Link is the most recent referral to the Merchant Site prior to such purchase among all marketing channels tracked by us. If we are able to track a referral from another marketing channel (e.g. another affiliate, comparison shopping engine, paid search, banner advertisement or any other trackable marketing channel) that is more recent that your Qualifying Link, then the resulting purchase will be deemed to not be directly resulting from your tracked Qualifying Link. All determinations of Qualifying Links and whether a referral fee is payable will be made by us and eBay Enterprise Affiliate and will be final and binding on you. 

c)  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, we will pay you the above-described Revenue Share on a monthly basis.  We will send, or cause to be sent, to you a check for the Revenue Share earned, less any taxes or other amounts that we may be required by law to withhold.  No interest will be paid on any such amount held by us.  If a Revenue Share payment is made hereunder and relates to merchandise that is later returned by the customer, the applicable Revenue Share will be deducted from the next applicable payment hereunder.  If any portion of such Revenue Share cannot be recovered through a deduction, we will invoice you for such amount and you agree to pay this amount within 30 days after receipt of such invoice.  Upon termination of this Agreement, we will send, or cause to be sent, to you, a check for the total amount of Revenue Share then owed to you as of the termination date.  The final Revenue Share payment may be withheld by us for a reasonable period of time to ensure that the correct amount is to be paid after making any adjustments that may be required, including, but not limited to, adjustments for returns.  
 9.  Pepperjam Affiliate Tracking. (a)  We will track sales made to customers who purchase products using Qualified Links, that you will generate using Pepperjam technology, from your website to our website, and reports summarizing this sales activity will be available to you also through the Pepperjam.  The form, content, and frequency of the reports are limited to those reports and capabilities available through the Pepperjam and may vary from time to time in our and Pepperjam’s reasonable discretion.  We are not responsible for any changes that Pepperjam may make in their reporting format, timing, or types of reports available to the members of our Affiliate Program.  To permit accurate tracking, reporting and fee accrual, you must ensure that the links between your website and our website are properly formatted.  We are not responsible for improperly formatted links regardless of whether you have made amendments to the code or not.  In addition, we are unable to track or provide you credit for sales from customers that are referred to us with browsers that do not have their cookies setting enabled.  You hereby agree not to disclose the such information contained in Pepperjam reports regarding us to any third party without our prior written consent and that such information is the property and Confidential Information of ours.

(b) You represent, warrant, covenant, and agree that (i) you are a member of Pepperjam’s affiliate program, and (ii) you will not bypass, modify, circumvent, impair, disable or otherwise interfere with any links, web beacons, cookies or other technology provided by us or Pepperjam.

(b)  You, at your own cost and expense, will indemnify, defend and hold harmless, us, our and their respective parents, subsidiaries and company affiliates, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns against any claim, suit, action, judgment, liability, loss, cost, expenses and other damages (even if such claims are groundless, fraudulent or false), including reasonable attorney's fees, based upon or in connection with (i) any breach or alleged breach of your representations, warranties, covenants agreements, or obligations hereunder, (ii) your websites or related business, or any content, technology or other materials displayed or contained thereon, including but not limited to with respect to claims of misappropriation or infringement, (iii) your failure or alleged failure to comply with any applicable law, rule or regulation, (vi) claims for unsolicited email, spamming or violation of the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003, (vii) your misuse, unauthorized modification or unauthorized use of the services or materials provided by us or Pepperjam hereunder, or (viii) any actual or alleged wrongful or negligent act or omission by you. 
12.  Term and Termination. (a)  This Agreement shall automatically terminate on the date on which we no longer maintain or you are no longer a member of the Affiliate Program contemplated hereunder.  Additionally, either party may terminate this Agreement at any time and for any reason by providing notice (including via e-mail) to the other party.  We may also terminate this Agreement immediately, without notice, if we determine, in our sole discretion, that you have breached this Agreement or that your website(s) is unsuitable to participate in this Affiliate Program.  If you do not generate at least fifty (50) click-throughs or at least one sale per month through Qualifying Links, you will be removed from the Affiliate Program.  Either party may terminate a Special Offer at any time by deleting its acceptance through the Pepperjam, and such termination of a Special Offer shall not be deemed a termination of this Agreement or any other Special Offers.  Sections 3(c), 8(b), 10-20 and 23 (together with all other provisions that may reasonably be interpreted as surviving termination or expiration of this Agreement) will survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement.
