This agreement describes the entire terms and conditions for participation in the PickTheirBrains Affiliate Program. PickTheirBrains.com is owned and operated by JOLT! Marketing. In this agreement, PickTheirBrains and JOLT! Marketing are collectively referred to as PTB.

In this agreement, the term "Affiliate" refers to you (the applicant). Wherever the agreement refers to "you" or "your", it means "the Affiliate"; "we" or "our" refers to PTB.

Affiliate Site
EzineAnnouncer will create a unique URL for you when you submit a complete Affiliate Enrollment Form.

Commissions
You will receive 35% of the revenue as a commission from orders placed through your Affiliate Site. For a sale to generate a commission to an Affiliate, the customer must complete the order form and remit full payment for the product ordered. You will receive 5% of the revenue from orders placed through the Affiliate Sites of those sub-Affiliates (2nd tier affiliates) which you have sponsored into the Affiliate Program. Commissions will only be paid on sales which are made through qualified Affiliate Sites.

Payment
PTB will send a check for the applicable commissions within approximately 15 days after the end of each calendar month. If any order that generated a referral fee is returned by the customer, or if there are any returned checks or chargebacks, the amount will be deducted from the next monthly payment. If there is no subsequent payment, the Affiliate will be invoiced.

International Affiliates
International affiliates are welcome to join the program. All payments made will be in US dollars on a monthly basis. Additional fees apply for commissions sent via money wire or direct deposit.

Order Fulfillment
PTB will be solely responsible for processing every order placed by a customer on the Affiliate Site.

Customers
Customers who purchase products and services through the Affiliate Program will be deemed to be customers of PTB. Accordingly, all EzineAnnouncer rules, policies, and operating procedures concerning customer orders and service will apply to those customers. We may change our policies and operating procedures at any time. Prices and availability of our products and services may vary from time to time. PTB policies will always determine the price paid by the customer.

Qualifying Sites
PTB reserves the right not to accept any site into the Affiliate Program based on site content. Sites that Do Not Qualify for the PTB Affiliate Program include sites which:
