I accept these terms and wish to register.
This agreement contains the complete terms and conditions that apply to an individual or entity's participation in the TicketNetwork Program (the 'Program'). As used in this Agreement, Ticket Software LLC (the corporation holding the TicketNetwork trademark) will be referred to as 'we' and the applicant will be referenced as 'you.' The term 'site' applies to a World Wide Web site whether accessible to the public in general or some smaller group via an intranet and, depending on the context, refers to either TicketNetwork.com, another TicketNetwork website, or any site that you will link to ours.
Enrollment in the Program
To begin the enrollment process, you must submit a completed Affiliate Application. We will evaluate your application in good faith and will notify you of our acceptance or rejection. Your application may be rejected if we determine (in our sole discretion) that your site is unsuitable for the Program. Unsuitable sites include those that:
Order Tracking and Processing
We will track and process all transactions made by customers who follow special links from your site to our site. We will send you reports summarizing sales activity: the form, content, and frequency of the reports may vary from time to time at our discretion.
To enable accurate tracking, reporting, and commission accrual, you must ensure that the special links between your site and our site are properly formatted. When customers come to our ticket site via your links, our web server sends a client-side text string (cookie) containing your unique affiliate code to their computers. Our system then uses those strings to identify your site at the point of purchase or sale.
We are responsible for all aspects of order processing and fulfillment. Along with providing customer service, we will handle all transaction logistics including payments, cancellations, and shipping. We reserve the right to cancel orders that do not comply with any requirements we establish: you will not be paid for transactions that, for any reason, are not completed due to cancellations or chargebacks or that cannot be fulfilled for any other reason.
Qualifying Transactions
For a ticket transaction to qualify for a commission, the customer must do the following: follow a link (in the format specified by us) from your site to ours; purchase tickets from our site; accept delivery of the tickets at the shipping destination; and remit full payment to us in the case of a purchase. Transactions made by existing TicketNetwork customers are subject to review. We reserve the right to reject transactions that do not comply with these or other requirements that we periodically establish. Your site will be credited for every qualifying transaction, including repeat purchases or sales that occur within 45 days of referral from your site.
Prohibition against Spyware and other Parasites
Any affiliate suspected of a relationship, formal or informal, with any provider of spyware or parasitic software (as judged by any interference with the operation by design of TicketNetwork and/or partner sites) is subject to punitive actions by TicketNetwork, including but not limited to: suspension of affiliate account; termination of affiliate account; withholding of payments to affiliate; and public notification of affiliate's suspected malfeasance. We encourage affiliates to report suspicions of such relationships; and, should substantial proof, as judged by TicketNetwork, be provided, TicketNetwork reserves the right to assign a value equal to unpaid monies earned by the offending affiliate (or a part thereof) to the reporting affiliate as a bounty.
Coupon Policy and Prohibitions
Affiliate may only publish official TicketNetwork discount codes on Affiliate’s website that TicketNetwork may send as part of the Affiliate Program. Affiliate may not publish discount codes not sent by TicketNetwork as part of the Affiliate Program or publish misleading or false information about TicketNetwork.com discount codes or other TicketNetwork site discount codes. Misleading information includes but is not limited to the following: posting a discount code with the wrong corresponding description of the discount and posting an expired discount code.
Other Prohibitions
As an affiliate, you may not 'mask' or 'redirect' your domain name/URL to our sites, "frame" any portion of our site, copy and insert any portion of our sites into another, or in any other way infringe upon our copyrighted material. You may not use such terms as “cheapest” or “lowest,” or any other superlatives suggesting unverified, unsubstantiated claims. False or misleading statements or advertisements about TicketNetwork shall not be used when referencing the TicketNetwork name, bearing the TicketNetwork name, logo, or registered trademarks.
Confirmation of Sales
For all accepted sales made by the customer up to 45 days after your ad has been clicked on, you will receive a variable commission rate subject to the table, below. If a sale is rejected (because the customer's credit card declines or the tickets are no longer available), you will not receive a commission. (Less than 1% of sales get rejected.) All sales are confirmed 10 days after the transaction date.
| Nature of Affiliate Site | Commission Rates |
| Brand/site-level comparison website | 12.5% |
| Non-comparison website | 12.5% |
| Ticket-level comparison website (Defined as Web sites that compare individual ticket prices from one or more TicketNetwork competitors) |
9% |
You will receive your commissions monthly for all sales that have been confirmed during a given month. Checks will be mailed, within 14 days following the end of the month in which the payment has been confirmed. The monthly payment calendar is based on the confirmation date, not the date of the actual sale. Your commissions will be mailed to you at the address we have on file for you minus any taxes that we are required by law to withhold. If a transaction that generated a commission is later cancelled by a customer, we will deduct the corresponding commission from your next payment or, if thereafter your site accrues no commissions during the following 6 months, we may send you a bill for the overpayment.
Policies and Pricing
Customers who buy or sell tickets through this Program will be deemed to be customers of TicketNetwork. Accordingly, all TicketNetwork rules, policies, and operating procedures concerning customer orders, customer service, and product sales will apply. We may change our policies and operating procedures at any time.
