Partnership agreement

Please read the agreement document below carefully before registering.

I accept these terms and wish to register.

1) Term of the Agreement: The term of this Agreement will begin upon our acceptance of your Partnership application and will end when terminated by either party. We will check your site to see that it is suitable for our Programme. If we refuse permission for entry into the Programme, we are under no obligation to explain why. Either you or we may terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause, by giving the other party written notice (by email or post) of termination. You are only eligible to earn referral fees on sales occurring during the term.

2) Commission rates and payments: Commission is calculated at 5% of the price at which the items are sold, i.e. the discounted price, excluding postage and packing costs.

Commission will be paid quarterly, normally within 30 days of the end of January, April, July and October. Payments will be by cheque in UK pounds sterling and will cover the quarter just finished. Accrued commission totalling less than £100.00 will be held until it exceeds £100.00 at the end of a quarter. All referred orders will be deemed to be pending until they have been paid for and received by the customer; until this time referral commission will not be applicable. If items are returned to History Bookshop.com for refund the commission earned will be deducted from the next payment.

Commission can be earned if a referred visitor buys items from History Bookshop up to 1 day after the referral.

Fees will not be paid on your personal orders and if you use the Programme for this purpose we may terminate this agreement and/or withhold any outstanding fees.

3) Modification: We may modify any of the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, at any time and at our sole discretion, by posting a change notice or a new agreement on this site and/or by notifying you of changes by email. This acceptance will be deemed for all purposes to have been effectively communicated to you whether or not you have received that email. Modifications may include, for example, changes in the scope of available referral fees, fee schedules, payment procedures and Programme rules. IF ANY MODIFICATION IS UNACCEPTABLE TO YOU, YOUR ONLY RECOURSE IS TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT. YOUR CONTINUED PARTICIPATION IN THE PROGRAMME FOLLOWING OUR POSTING OF A CHANGE NOTICE OR NEW AGREEMENT ON OUR SITE WILL CONSTITUTE BINDING ACCEPTANCE OF THE CHANGE.

4) Limitation of Liability: We will not be liable for indirect, special or consequential damages, or any loss of revenue, profits or data, arising in connection with this Agreement or the Programme, including any disruption caused by technical or operational difficulties with the History Bookshop.com site, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Further, our aggregate liability arising with respect to this Agreement and the Programme will not exceed the total referral fees paid or payable to you under to this Agreement.

5) Independent Investigation: YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT AND AGREE TO ALL ITS TERMS AND CONDITIONS. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT WE MAY AT ANY TIME (DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY) SOLICIT CUSTOMER REFERRALS ON TERMS THAT MAY DIFFER FROM THOSE CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT OR OPERATE WEB SITES THAT ARE SIMILAR TO OR COMPETE WITH YOUR WEB SITE.
