Terms of Service and/or Use | The place to find the Best Buys

These are the Terms Of Service (Use) for this site and service. You are bound to these by continuing to register, accepting a registration or ordering any items from this us. READ THESE TERMS FULLY AND THOROUGHLY UNDERSTAND THEM.

First things first - DO NOT attempt to manipulate or navigate the site by using the URL path window of the browser - it will trigger a warning into our log and will will block your IP - PERIOD. If the links do not work - do not try another clever way. Also you cannot "register" as a user - you are registered when you first "BUY" something - so do not try.

The Privacy Policy we use is found HERE (it may default to https://stripe.com/us/privacy )

We work with Internet sellers worldwide to increase their market exposure and in most cases place the order directly with them for direct shipping if the order is taken by us for "drop shipping". "Drop Shipping" is when the owner holds the item, and ships it on demand from us to a third party - which would be you as a buyer. It is also called "order fulfillment", and even eBay does it with a company they bought called GSI Commerce . The difference is we do web presence enhancement and marketing services for small businesses who items in stock and support their business, whereas eBay competes with small businesses and buys up larger operations to do so, because eBay can do so from greater profits by higher fees of 10 to 15 percent of the seller's sale, versus ours which is 3 present or less. In this agreement we have the right to dictate a certain form of shipment at a certain rate.

All members on this site are assigned an affiliate status and ID, so you can sell items through a sub-domain webstore on this site that will be "https://mystore.bigbay4bestbuys.com"

To see if we support your country and currency as a seller visit https://stripe.com/global

There is no set up fee; however there is no "free" account setup either - you are assigned an account when you purchase any item, and you have the option then of opening a sub-domain account for "free" which is both an affiliate id and ability to open a web store to sell items. This is done this way because so many people want to open bogus accounts - with fake names and fake addresses - and when something is actually shipped to you connected to a billing account for a credit or debit card - it is more likely to be "real" and as with you. We do have several kinds of web stores and web site hosting packages you can pay for. Search 99.9 in the search box upper left

You agree you will check your email twice per day for any orders needing to be filled and fill them right away, and in no case later than two days after payment. If you are an overseas seller, you MUST ship by US Postal Service, UPS, FedEx or DHL in the appropriate sized envelope or package at the very least minimum the carrier specifie and no smaller ever. In the case of the US Postal Service - that would be 4 x 6 inches with an appropriate International label

We may provide you an interface to a webstore presence to sell your items and to collect fees by Bank Cards through Wells Fargo on a platform called "STRIPE:, and if we do, this agreement shall also apply and by continuing to register if you use our service through us tio STRIPE you also agree to this agreement here => https://stripe.com/connect/account-terms which is the Stripe Connected Account Agreement,

Payment processing services for sellers on our platform are provided by Stripe and are subject to the Stripe Connected Account Agreement, which includes the Stripe Terms of Service(collectively, the “Stripe Services Agreement”). By agreeing to this agreement and these terms or continuing to operate as an account holder or affiliate on this site our platform you agree to be bound by the Stripe Services Agreement, as the same may be modified by Stripe from time to time. As a condition of our platform enabling payment processing services through Stripe, you agree to provide our platform - bigbay4bestbuys.com and any affiliated site of ours, accurate and complete information about you and your business, and you authorize us to share it and transaction information related to your use of the payment processing services provided by Stripe.

We do not have a "Buyer Protection Program"; as technically such a thing is illegal under California law if not administered strictly in compliance with consumer and merchant rights by a duly licensed legal professional. PayPal and eBay have repeatedly found themselves in lawsuit after lawsuit all primarily surrounding what they are trying to call "safe" Buyer Protection Program efforts. We are an order facilitator primarily and ship only those items we actually stock and sell. Most times the listing will say if it sold by us directly. Often we can offer a product at a less expensive price than one finds on eBay - because eBay's fees are typically 10 to 15 percent and ours are zero to 3 percent. We do however enforce the terms and provisions of the FTC Mail Order Rule as to shipping and notice requirements as to all sellers on this site

We act as an “Electronic fund transfer service provider” (TSP) if we provide you a web store presence [See 12 eCFR §205.14] but we will adhere our conduct and business operations under application of the Federal Trade Commission “Mail Order Rule” as do we expect of the trading member. [See 16 CFR Part 435] for regulatory requirements for such commerce, including Internet based sales operators; and, our role under the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) which most all States have a version of incorporated into their State Codes and which also bind 15 USC 7001 to 7031 – the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act thereto. The California Uniform Commercial Code, codifies and expands the UCC of which a general index of a definition of terms of the parties involved is found at UCC §2-103. In matters in our control we will adhere to the Electronic Funds Transfer Act (EFTA) where applicable and in regard to matters of request for refund set forth in 12 CFR 1005.34. In all other cases if there is a clear violation of these Terms of ‘Service we may take action, but in most other areas where there is difference of opinion as to goods received or ordered or terms of the transaction, the terms of the transaction shall control and the parties involved find themselves with the option to file the matter in a court of law. We may, and you agree, in our discretion, pending the outcome of the court action, suspend both the members’ trading rights on our platform.

In issues under our control we use the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Mail Order Rule as a guide to issues which is also know a the Telephone sales rule but applies to Internet commerce also as amended. See the links embedded or https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/business-center/guidance/business-guide-ftcs-mail-internet-or-telephone-order and https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/press-releases/2014/09/ftc-issues-final-amendments-mail-or-telephone-order-merchandise also known as 16 CFR Part 435 also found here => https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/16/part-435 Those links as to rules having the force and effect of law are incorporated herein to this document..

That said, we have zero tolerance for fraud, and schemes using Bank Cards, and so we will take action to block any offending user or refund if possible actions done in clear violations of law, taking into account the sellers issues and intent. If the matter is too complicated we will refer you to your Bank Card department or to a court of law, as we cannot adjudicate a matter for anyone.

AUTOMATIC AFFILIATES ASSIGNMENT

The Affiliates Program Operating Agreement is incorporated herein this agreement (“Operating Agreement”) and contains the terms and conditions that govern your participation in the Wilbur Union Affiliates Program (the “Program”). “We,” “us,” or “our” means Wilbur Union or any of its affiliate companies (excluding those that sell retail products), as the case may be. “You” or “your” means the applicant. A “site” means a website. “Wilbur Union Site” means the Bigbay4bestbuys.com site or any other U.S. site that is owned or operated by or on behalf of us or our affiliates and which is identified as participating in the Program as applicable. “Your site” means any site(s) and software application(s) that you own or operate and link to the Wilbur Union Site. Note that software applications are prohibited from participating in the Program unless expressly approved pursuant to the Affiliate Program Participation Requirements outlined herein.

BY CHECKING THE BOX OR CLICKING THE "ACCEPT AND CONTINUE" BUTTON, AS APPLICABLE, YOU AGREE TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS OPERATING AGREEMENT, OR BY CONTINUING TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PROGRAM FOLLOWING OUR POSTING OF A CHANGE NOTICE, REVISED OPERATING AGREEMENT, OR REVISED OPERATIONAL DOCUMENTATION ON THE WILBUR UNION.COM SITE, YOU (A) AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS OPERATING AGREEMENT; (B) ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU HAVE INDEPENDENTLY EVALUATED THE DESIRABILITY OF PARTICIPATING IN THE PROGRAM AND ARE NOT RELYING ON ANY REPRESENTATION, GUARANTEE, OR STATEMENT OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS OPERATING AGREEMENT; AND (C) HEREBY REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU ARE LAWFULLY ABLE TO ENTER INTO CONTRACTS (E.G., YOU ARE NOT A MINOR) AND THAT YOU ARE AND WILL REMAIN IN COMPLIANCE WITH THIS OPERATING AGREEMENT, INCLUDING THE AFFILIATE PROGRAM PARTICPATION REQUIRMENTS OUTLINE HEREIN. IN ADDITION, IF THIS OPERATING AGREEMENT IS BEING AGREED TO BY A COMPANY OR OTHER LEGAL ENTITY, THEN THE PERSON AGREEING TO THIS OPERATING AGREEMENT ON BEHALF OF THAT COMPANY OR ENTITY HEREBY REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT HE OR SHE IS AUTHORIZED AND LAWFULLY ABLE TO BIND THAT COMPANY OR ENTITY TO THIS OPERATING AGREEMENT.

We often act as a virtual consignment vendor, and the listing of an item shall constitute constructive possession. Our definition in consignment shall be that which Small Business Adminstration defines as "consignment" which is "Consignment is a resale business involving three parties - the owner of goods or items (consignor), the seller (consignee), and the buyer (customer). Typically, a consignee owns a resale shop that sells items for multiple consignors. When a buyer purchases an item in the shop, both the consignee and the consignor receive a portion of the profit."

READ THESE TERMS FULLY AND THOROUGHLY UNDERSTAND THEM. We approach this as the FTC does for Internet sales and as a medical office does for customer privacy. We do not allow blogs, chats or cross member contact unless the member requests it. We do not support "feedback" reviews.

For our Customer support policy, as previously stated we follow the FTC guidelines from http://business.ftc.gov/documents/bus02-business-guide-mail-and-telephone-order-merchandise-rule .

The FTC Mail order rule, issued in 1975, requires that marketers who solicit buyers to order merchandise through mail or telephone must have a reasonable basis to expect that they can ship ordered merchandise within the time frame they advertise, or, if no time frame is specified, within 30 days. The Rule also requires that, when a seller cannot ship within the promised time, the seller must obtain the buyer’s consent to a delay in shipping or refund payment for the unshipped merchandise. In 2007, the FTC sought public comment on how the Rule could be amended to address changes in technology and commercial practices. Based on a review of comments received, the FTC has concluded that the Rule continues to benefit consumers and will be retained. In addition, the Commission proposes the following amendments to the Rule:
•   Clarify that the Rule covers all orders placed over the Internet;
•   Revise the Rule to allow sellers to provide refunds and refund notices to buyers by any means at least as fast and reliable as first-class mail;
•   Clarify sellers’ obligations when buyers use payment methods not spelled out in the Rule, such as debit cards or prepaid gift cards;
•   Require that refunds be made within seven working days for purchases that were made using third-party credit, such as Visa or MasterCard cards. For credit sales where the seller is the creditor (such as merchants using their own store charge cards) the refund deadline would remain one billing cycle.

The vote to amend as above was approved by a vote of 5 to 0, as such it covers law and policy we have no need to re-make of conflict with. In part PayPal's approach still conflicts with this rule and is why we stay as clear of PayPal as possible.

The Federal Trade Commission works for consumers to prevent fraudulent, deceptive, and unfair business practices and to provide information to help spot, stop, and avoid them. To file a complaint in English or Spanish, visit the FTC’s online Complaint Assistant or call 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357). The FTC enters complaints into Consumer Sentinel, a secure, online database available to more than 2,000 civil and criminal law enforcement agencies in the U.S. and abroad.

These items and information are, unless otherwise agreed to be amendment or affiliate terms, for direct personal use only and may not be resold as parts or in part for any service to another particularly if they are healthcare items, buyt all other items are vended in accord a license . In essence we follow the HIPAA disclaimer as thus:

""This website may contain items that may contain issues about information that may be privileged and confidential and protected from disclosure under the law, including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and its various implementing regulations and must be protected in accordance with those provisions. You, the reader/recipient, are obligated to maintain it in a safe, secure and confidential manner. You are hereby notified that any dissemination, distribution or copying of this communication is strictly prohibited and may subject you to criminal or civil penalties. If you have received this correspondence in error, please notify the sender at once and delete the material from any computer and destroy any copies you have made.""

If a member contacts the admin to contact another member (how they came to know of each other on this site is odd) we will handle the matter ourselves.

We do not utilize “feedback”. If a member wants to praise the site or a product we will do likewise - handle it ourselves. Spam will be deleted. Product reviews, feedback and other disclosure of information from this site not publicly posted is not allowed. Publicly posted information is found on the main pages before you log in.

This site may have a mix of medical Insurance related items and consumer items; and usually an insurance carrier is pleased to pay less for cash and carry to the patient. In that case we would need a prescription from a doctor to replace the part specifying that the patient will do the swap of the part; before purchase - before an insurance carrier will even consider paying the reimbursement claim. You also get a free video on how to set up the cylinder properly for a new unit only.

You CANNOT buy from manufacturers direct nor their distributors direct so do not try. You would need to say if you have a prescription BEFORE shipment in the additional terms section also, and you would need to upload a pic of the prescription after payment and specify an insurance carrier and your policy number you want to seek reimbursement from - AFTER the sale.

We do not guarantee reimbursement but only tell you we can usually accomplish submitting it as a provider. Some HMO's however are staunch lock-outs to out of network providers.

Attention: This sale may involve a discount or reduction in price. We are required to properly disclose and reflect this discount in costs claimed or charges made to federal health care programs in accordance with the provisions of 42 U.S.C. §1320 (a) – 7b (b) (3) (a) and/or 42 C.F.R § 1001.952 (h) (1). Failure to do so subjects us to civil and/or criminal penalties. Limited Warranty (new and rebuilt units only) The manufacturer warrants to the original purchaser that this (a new) product is free from defects in materials and workmanship. This warranty does not apply if this product (1) was not purchased from an authorized dealer, (2) has been altered in a way, or (3) has not been used in accordance with the manufacturer's Instructions for Use (IFU).

Any Limited Warranty does not cover damage due to accidents, neglect, misuse, or operation beyond capacity, parts damaged by improper installation, substitution or parts not approved by the manufacturer, or any other alteration or repair by others that, in the manufacturers judgment, materially or adversely affects the product or part. The duration of this Limited Warranty varies by product, but is effective from the date of delivery to the purchaser. Our sole obligation under this Limited Warranty is to either repair or replace the product at no charge, or to credit purchaser’s account for the value of the defective product at our sole discretion. Use of this product is not a guarantee against injury.

If the transaction involves a healthcare item, the User should consult with his/her health care provider immediately if user experiences any kind of adverse medical reaction following use of this product. User should consult with his/her health care professional with any questions as to how this product applies to user’s specific medical condition. If user does not agree to the above conditions, he/she should contact his/her health care professional before using this product.

Most manufacturer(s) disclaim and excludes any other express or implied warranties not set forth in this Limited Warranty, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.

This generic Limited Warranty excludes liability for any personal injury, property damage, or special, incidental, or consequential damages arising out of, related, or incident to use the product, even if we or the manufacturer has been advised of the possibility of such potential loss or damage, unless state law otherwise precludes this exclusion. Durable Medical Equipment prosthetic and Orthotics Supply (DMEPOS) parts are not considered "medical devices" unless the entire item is built and assembled to a specific person to do a specific medical task as would be a COMPLETE prosthetic leg custom made for a patient. We will not do that here, and are not doing that here; however we still will follow law requiring that you provide us a specific prescription, as failure to do so voids the manufacturer’s warranty, and only we can submit warranty claims - by the policy of the manufacturer.

We provide you full seller information after the sale. DO NOT EMAIL US ASKING TO CALL US OR WE CALL YOU. No out of site message system communications will be done at all. We have a duty to assure a NEW item is properly set up for use so as to not strain the design of the item.

For instance in the case of a prosthetic item, an improper bench alignment will put the some knee units unit into hyper support mode and consume battery power excessively and can lead to hydraulic cylinder failure. The United States Food and Drug Administration DOES NOT regulate EXTERNAL prosthetic devices, ONLY prosthetic devices intended for IMPLANTATION. See 21 CFR 888 et seq See http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfcfr/CFRSearch.cfm?CF... .

HOWEVER, manufacturers of external prosthetic items almost always require the item be set up according to their design specs by a Certified prostheticist IF the warranty is to remain intact and able to be honored.

Further insurance carriers REQUIRE a prescription from a professional who can issue such, in order to pay or consider paying a claim for reimbursement, and they will only accept that claim from a provider certified to install the item per the manufacturers directive to maintain the warranty if they are going to pay the claim.

Thus we can sell to you cash and carry - a NEW item - but you will have no warranty that can be honored. AGAIN . . . DO NOT START EMAILING CURIOSITY QUESTIONS, SERIOUS BUYER INQUIRIES ONLY. "The sale of this item may be subject to regulation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and state and local regulatory agencies. If so, do not purchase this item unless you are an authorized purchaser.

If the item is subject to FDA regulation, your status will be verified as an authorized purchaser of this item before shipping of the item." - as set forth above Shipment occurs usually the same day payment is received, unless it is a special order item, or the warehouse is out of stock, in which case we follow mail order policy from http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/business/adv/bus02.shtm

(g) include any trademark of Wilbur Union or its affiliates, or a variant or misspelling of a trademark of Wilbur Union or its affiliates, in any domain name, subdomain name, or in any username, group name, or other identifier on any social networking site (see the Trademark Guidelines for examples); or

If we reject your application, you are welcome to reapply at any time. However, if we accept your application and we later determine that your site is unsuitable, we may terminate this Operating Agreement.
You will ensure that the information in your Program application and otherwise associated with your account, including your email address and other contact information and identification of your site, is at all times complete, accurate, and up-to-date. We may send notifications (if any), approvals (if any), and other communications relating to the Program and this Operating Agreement to the email address then-currently associated with your Program account. You will be deemed to have received all notifications, approvals, and other communications sent to that email address, even if the email address associated with your account is no longer current.
In addition, if at any time following your enrollment in the Program you become a resident of Arkansas, Colorado, Maine, Missouri, Rhode Island, or Vermont, you will become ineligible to participate in the Program, and this Operating Agreement will automatically terminate, on the date you establish residency in that state. In addition, you must promptly notify us in writing of your Arkansas, Colorado, Maine, Missouri, Rhode Island, or Vermont residency, which you may do via the Contact Affiliates Customer Service form available here.
If you are a Non-US person participating in the Program, you agree that you will perform all services under the Operating Agreement outside the United States. If, for any reason, you cannot comply with this requirement, you must notify us using this link for an exception.
Mobile Applications
If you wish to include Special Links (defined below) in a software application designed and intended for use on mobile phones, tablets, or other handheld devices (a “Mobile Application”), you must create an Wilbur Union developer account at the Wilbur Union Mobile App Distribution Portal. You should refer to this page for additional details on building and submitting your Mobile Application for approval. In addition to this separate submission and approval process for Mobile Applications, the suitability and other requirements of this Section 2 will apply to Mobile Applications.
Content and Special Links may only be displayed in Mobile Applications that are Approved Mobile Applications. An “Approved Mobile Application” means a Mobile Application that we have approved for distribution and that is developed and distributed to end users by Associate through the Wilbur Union Appstore, and also includes substantially similar versions of such Approved Mobile Application that are distributed through channels other than the Wilbur Union Appstore, such as Google Play. For clarity, currently only Mobile Applications that are distributed via the Wilbur Union Appstore (or Android Mobile Applications that are distributed via another channel, but are substantially similar to a version distributed via the Wilbur Union Appstore) are eligible for approval.

III. Links on Your Site
After you have been notified that you have been accepted into the Program, you may display Special Links on your site. “Special Links” are links to the Wilbur Union Site that you place on your site in accordance with this Operating Agreement, that properly utilize the special “tagged” link formats we provide, and that comply with the Affiliates Program Linking Requirements. Special Links permit accurate tracking, reporting, and accrual of advertising fees. All your Special Links displayed in Approved Mobile Applications must be served by the Wilbur Union Mobile Affiliates API ("AMA API"), including any Special Links displayed within an integrated web browser (e.g., WebView), and must use the Affiliates ID we have assigned to you expressly for your Approved Mobile Applications.
You may earn advertising fees only as described in Section 7 and only with respect to sales activity on the Wilbur Union Site occurring directly through Special Links. We will have no obligation to pay you advertising fees if you fail to properly format the links on your site to the Wilbur Union Site as Special Links, including to the extent that such failure may result in any reduction of advertising fee amounts that would otherwise be paid to you under this Operating Agreement.

IV. Program Requirements

By participating in the Program, you agree that you will comply with the Affiliate Program Particpation Requirements outlined herein and all pages, schedules, policies, guidelines, specifications, user manuals, and supporting materials that we make available to you, and other documents and materials referenced in this Operating Agreement (collectively, “Operational Documentation”).
You will provide us with any information that we request to verify your compliance with this Operating Agreement or any Operational Documentation. In addition to any other rights or remedies available to us, we may terminate this Operating Agreement, withhold (and you agree you are not eligible for) any advertising fees payable to you under this Operating Agreement, or both, if we determine that you or other persons that we determine are affiliated with you or acting in concert with you (whether in respect to any existing or previously terminated Affiliates account):
•   have not complied with any requirement or restriction described in the Affiliates Program Participation Requirements page or any other Operational Documentation or have otherwise violated this Operating Agreement;
•   have violated the Product Advertising API License Agreement (“License Agreement”);

•   have violated the Wilbur Union Mobile App Distribution Agreement or the Wilbur Union Mobile App Distribution Program Materials License Agreement.
In addition, you hereby consent to us:
•   sending you emails relating to the Program from time to time;
•   monitoring, recording, using, and disclosing information about your site and visitors to your site that we obtain in connection with your display of Special Links (e.g., that a particular Wilbur Union customer clicked through a Special Link from your site before buying a Product on the Wilbur Union Site) in accordance with the Wilbur Union.com Privacy Notice; and
•   monitoring, crawling, and otherwise investigating your site to verify compliance with this Operating Agreement and the Operational Documentation.

V. Responsibility for Your Site

You will be solely responsible for your site, including its development, operation, and maintenance and all materials that appear on or within it. For example, you will be solely responsible for:
•   the technical operation of your site and all related equipment;
•   displaying Special Links and Content on your site in compliance with this Operating Agreement and the Operational Documentation and any agreement between you and any other person or entity (including any restrictions or requirements placed on you by any person or entity that hosts your site);

•   using the Content, your site, and the materials on or within your site in a manner that does not infringe, violate, or misappropriate any of our rights or those of any other person or entity (including copyrights, trademarks, privacy, publicity or other intellectual property or proprietary rights);
•   disclosing on your site accurately and adequately, either through a privacy policy or otherwise, how you collect, use, store, and disclose data collected from visitors, including, where applicable, that third parties (including us and other advertisers) may serve content and advertisements, collect information directly from visitors, and place or recognize cookies on visitors’ browsers; and
•   any use that you make of the Content and the Wilbur Union Marks, whether or not permitted under this Operating Agreement.
We will have no liability for these matters or for any of your end users’ claims relating to these matters, and you agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us, our affiliates and licensors, and our and their respective employees, officers, directors, and representatives, harmless from and against all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) relating to (a) your site or any materials that appear on your site, including the combination of your site or those materials with other applications, content, or processes; (b) the use, development, design, manufacture, production, advertising, promotion, or marketing of your site or any materials that appear on or within your site, and all other matters described in this Section 5; (c) your use of any Content, whether or not such use is authorized by or violates this Operating Agreement, any Operational Documentation, or applicable law; (d) your violation of any term or condition of this Operating Agreement or any Operational Documentation; or (e) your or your employees' negligence or willful misconduct.

VI. Order Processing
We will process Product orders placed by customers who follow Special Links from your site to the Wilbur Union Site. We reserve the right to reject orders that do not comply with any requirements on the Wilbur Union Site, as they may be updated from time to time. We will track Qualifying Purchases (defined in Section 7) for reporting and advertising fee accrual purposes and will make available to you reports summarizing those Qualifying Purchases.

VII.   Advertising Fees
We will pay you advertising fees on Qualifying Purchases in accordance with Section 8 and the Affiliates Program Advertising Fee Schedule. Subject to the exclusions set forth below, a “Qualifying Purchase” occurs when (a) a customer clicks through a Special Link on your site to the Wilbur Union Site; (b) during a single Session that customer either (i) adds a Product to his or her shopping cart and places the order for that Product no later than 89 days following the customer’s initial click-through, (ii) purchases a Product via our 1-Click feature, or (iii) streams or downloads a Product from the Wilbur Union Site if the Product is a Digital Product; and (c) the Product is shipped to or streamed or downloaded by, and paid for by, the customer.
A “Session” begins when a customer clicks through a Special Link on your site to the Wilbur Union Site and ends upon the first to occur of the following: (x) 24 hours (except in the case of Special Links to the myhabit.com site or the local.Wilbur Union.com site, in which case 30 days) elapses from that click; (y) the customer places an order for a Product that is not a Digital Product; or (z) the customer follows a Special Link to the Wilbur Union Site that is not your Special Link.
A “Digital Product” is a Product sold under the name “Wilbur Union MP3,” “Wilbur Union Shorts,” “eDocs,” “Wilbur Union Instant Video,” “Wilbur Union Software Downloads,” “Game Downloads,” and “Kindle Books,” “Kindle Newspapers,” “Kindle Blogs,” “Kindle Newsfeeds,” or “Kindle Magazines.”
Qualifying Purchases exclude, and we will not pay advertising fees on any of, the following:
•   any Product that, after expiration of the applicable Session, is added to a customer’s Shopping Cart, is purchased by a customer via our 1-Click feature, or is streamed or downloaded by a customer, even if the customer previously followed a Special Link from your site to the Wilbur Union Site;
•   any Product purchase that is not correctly tracked or reported because the links from your site to the Wilbur Union Site are not properly formatted;
•   any Product purchased through a Special Link in a Mobile Application that was not an Approved Mobile Application or where the Special Link in an Approved Mobile Application was not served by the AMA API;
•   any Product purchased through a Special Link by you or on your behalf, including Products you purchase through Special Links for yourself, friends, relatives, or Affiliates (e.g., personal orders, orders for your own use, and orders placed by you for or on behalf of any other person or entity);
•   any Product purchased through a Special Link that violates the terms of this Agreement;
•   any Product purchased for resale or commercial use of any kind;
•   any Product purchased after termination of this Operating Agreement;
•   any Product order that is canceled or returned; and
•   any Product purchased by a customer who is referred to the Wilbur Union Site through any of the following:
o   a Prohibited Paid Search Placement; or
o   a link to the Wilbur Union Site, including a Redirecting Link, that is generated or displayed on a Search Engine in response to a general Internet search query or keyword (i.e., in natural, free, organic, or unpaid search results), whether those links appear through your submission of data to that site or otherwise.
“Prohibited Paid Search Placement” means an advertisement that you purchased through bidding on keywords, search terms, or other identifiers (including Proprietary Terms) or other participation in keyword auctions. “Proprietary Term” means keywords, search terms, or other identifiers that include the word “Wilbur Union,” “Kindle,” “myhabit,” or “Javari,” or any other trademark of Wilbur Union or its affiliates (see a non-exhaustive list of our trademarks), or variations or misspellings of any of those words (e.g., “ammazon,” “amaozn,” “kindel,” and “javary”). “Redirecting Link” means a link that sends users indirectly to the Wilbur Union Site via an intermediate site or webpage and without requiring the user to click on a link or take some other affirmative action on that intermediate site or webpage. “Search Engine” means Google, Yahoo, Bing, or any other search engine, portal, sponsored advertising service, or other search or referral service, or any site that participates in any of their respective networks.

VIII. Advertising Fee Payment
We will pay you advertising fees on a monthly basis for Qualifying Purchases shipped, streamed, or downloaded (as applicable) in a given month, subject to any applicable withholding or deduction described below. We will pay you approximately 60 days following the end of each calendar month using the payment method you choose from the following available options. If you have not selected one of the payment methods below, we will withhold any unpaid accrued advertising fees until you have done so.
(a) Payment by Direct Deposit. If you select payment by direct deposit, we will directly deposit the advertising fees you earn into the bank account you designate, but may accrue and withhold advertising fees until the total amount due to you is at least $10. If you select this method of payment, you must provide us with the name of your bank, the bank account type, the 9-digit routing number/ABA number, the account number, and the name of the primary account holder as it appears on the account. If you have chosen payment by direct deposit and you do not provide this information, or it is not valid (e.g., the account has been closed or changed) or the payment is otherwise rejected by your bank, you may instead receive payment by check and be subject to the processing fees described below until you provide valid account information.
(b) Payment by Wilbur Union.com Gift Card. If you select payment by Wilbur Union.com gift card, we will send you a gift card in the amount of the advertising fees you earn, redeemable for products on Wilbur Union.com, but we may accrue and withhold advertising fees until the total amount due to you is at least $10. All Wilbur Union.com gift cards will be subject to our then-current standard gift card terms and conditions.
(c) Payment by Check. If you select payment by check, we will send you a check in the amount of the advertising fees you earn, but we may accrue and withhold advertising fees until the total amount due to you is at least $100. We will deduct a processing fee in the amount of $15 from the advertising fees payable to you for each check we send to you.
If you have not earned any advertising fees in the 3 years prior to any given calendar month, then on the first day of that calendar month we may charge you an account maintenance fee that will be deducted from your unpaid accrued advertising fees. That account maintenance fee will be the lesser of $10 or the amount of unpaid accrued advertising fees in your account. Further, any unpaid accrued advertising fees in your account may be subject to escheatment under state law. We may be obligated by law to obtain tax information from you if you are a U.S. citizen, U.S. resident, or U.S. corporation, or if your business is otherwise taxable in the U.S. If we request tax information from you and you do not provide it to us, we may (in addition to any other rights or remedies available to us) withhold your advertising fees until you provide this information or otherwise satisfy us that you are not a person from whom we are required to obtain tax information.

IX. Policies and Pricing
Customers who buy products through this Program are our customers with respect to all activities they undertake in connection with the Wilbur Union Site. Accordingly, as between you and us, all pricing, terms of sale, rules, policies, and operating procedures concerning customer orders, customer service, and product sales set forth on the Wilbur Union Site will apply to those customers, and we may change them at any time.

We may withhold accrued unpaid advertising fees for a reasonable period of time following termination to ensure that the correct amount is paid (e.g., to account for any cancelations or returns). Upon any termination of this Operating Agreement, all rights and obligations of the parties will be extinguished, except that the rights and obligations of the parties under Sections 5, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19, and 20, together with any accrued but unpaid payment obligations of us under this Operating Agreement, will survive the termination of this Operating Agreement. No termination of this Operating Agreement will relieve either party for any liability for any breach of, or liability accruing under, this Operating Agreement prior to termination.

XV. Modification
We may modify any of the terms and conditions contained in this Operating Agreement (and any Operational Documentation) at any time and in our sole discretion by posting a change notice, revised agreement, or revised Operational Documentation on the Wilbur Union.com site or by sending notice of such modification to you by email to the email address then-currently associated with your Affiliates account (any such change by email will be effective on the date specified in such email and will in no event be less than two business days after the date the email is sent).

You will not make any statement, whether on your site or otherwise, that contradicts or may contradict anything in this section.

FURTHER, OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS OPERATING AGREEMENT, THE PROGRAM, THE WILBUR UNION SITE, AND THE SERVICE OFFERINGS WILL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL ADVERTISING FEES PAID OR PAYABLE TO YOU UNDER THIS OPERATING AGREEMENT IN THE TWELVE MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE DATE ON WHICH THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE MOST RECENT CLAIM OF LIABILITY OCCURRED.

XVIII. Disclaimers
THE PROGRAM, THE WILBUR UNION SITE, ANY PRODUCTS AND SERVICES OFFERED ON THE WILBUR UNION SITE, ANY SPECIAL LINKS, LINK FORMATS, OPERATIONAL DOCUMENTATION, CONTENT AND OUR AFFILIATES’ TRADEMARKS AND LOGOS (INCLUDING THE WILBUR UNION MARKS), AND ALL TECHNOLOGY, SOFTWARE, FUNCTIONS, MATERIALS, DATA, IMAGES, TEXT, AND OTHER INFORMATION AND CONTENT PROVIDED OR USED BY OR ON BEHALF OF US OR OUR AFFILIATES OR LICENSORS IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROGRAM (COLLECTIVELY THE “SERVICE OFFERINGS”) ARE PROVIDED “AS IS.” NEITHER WE NOR ANY OF OUR AFFILIATES OR LICENSORS MAKE ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICE OFFERINGS. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, WE AND OUR AFFILIATES AND LICENSORS DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICE OFFERINGS, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING OUT OF ANY COURSE OF DEALING, PERFORMANCE, OR TRADE USAGE. WE MAY DISCONTINUE ANY SERVICE OFFERING, OR MAY CHANGE THE NATURE, FEATURES, FUNCTIONS, SCOPE, OR OPERATION OF ANY SERVICE OFFERING, AT ANY TIME AND FROM TIME TO TIME. NEITHER WE NOR ANY OF OUR AFFILIATES OR LICENSORS WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE OFFERINGS WILL CONTINUE TO BE PROVIDED, WILL FUNCTION AS DESCRIBED, CONSISTENTLY OR IN ANY PARTICULAR MANNER, OR WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ACCURATE, ERROR FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS. NEITHER WE NOR ANY OF OUR AFFILIATES OR LICENSORS WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR (A) ANY ERRORS, INACCURACIES, OR SERVICE INTERRUPTIONS, INCLUDING POWER OUTAGES OR SYSTEM FAILURES; OR (B) ANY UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR ALTERATION OF, OR DELETION, DESTRUCTION, DAMAGE, OR LOSS OF, YOUR SITE OR ANY DATA, IMAGES, TEXT, OR OTHER INFORMATION OR CONTENT. NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION OBTAINED BY YOU FROM US OR FROM ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY OR THROUGH THE PROGRAM, CONTENT, OPERATIONAL DOCUMENTATION, THE WILBUR UNION SITE, OR THE AFFILIATE-PROGRAM.WILBUR UNION.COM SITE WILL CREATE ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED IN THIS OPERATING AGREEMENT. FURTHER, NEITHER WE NOR ANY OF OUR AFFILIATES OR LICENSORS WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY COMPENSATION, REIMBURSEMENT, OR DAMAGES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH (X) ANY LOSS OF PROSPECTIVE PROFITS OR REVENUE, ANTICIPATED SALES, GOODWILL, OR OTHER BENEFITS, (Y) ANY INVESTMENTS, EXPENDITURES, OR COMMITMENTS BY YOU IN CONNECTION WITH THIS OPERATING AGREEMENT OR YOUR PARTICIPATION IN THE PROGRAM, OR (Z) ANY TERMINATION OF THIS OPERATING AGREEMENT OR YOUR PARTICIPATION IN THE PROGRAM.

XIX. Disputes
Any dispute relating in any way to the Program or this Operating Agreement will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law and the laws of the state of Washington, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, will govern this Operating Agreement and any dispute of any sort that might arise between you and us.
There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow the terms of this Operating Agreement as a court would.
To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to our registered agent, Corporation Service Company, 300 Deschutes Way SW, Suite 304, Tumwater, WA 98051. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its rules, including the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. The AAA’s rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules. We will reimburse those fees for claims totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. Likewise, we will not seek attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed location.
We each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, we each waive any right to a jury trial. We also both agree that you or we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Operating Agreement, we may seek injunctive or other relief in any state, federal, or national court of competent jurisdiction for any actual or alleged infringement of our or any other person or entity’s intellectual property or proprietary rights. You further acknowledge and agree that our rights in the Content are of a special, unique, extraordinary character, giving them peculiar value, the loss of which cannot be readily estimated or adequately compensated for in monetary damages.

XX. Miscellaneous
You acknowledge and agree that we and our affiliates may at any time (directly or indirectly) solicit customer referrals on terms that may differ from those contained in this Operating Agreement or operate sites that are similar to or compete with your site. You may not assign this Operating Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise, without our express prior written approval. Subject to that restriction, this Operating Agreement will be binding on, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable against the parties and their respective successors and assigns. Our failure to enforce your strict performance of any provision of this Operating Agreement will not constitute a waiver of our right to subsequently enforce such provision or any other provision of this Operating Agreement. In the event of any conflict between this Operating Agreement and the Operational Documentation, the Affiliates Program Excluded Products page will control over this Operating Agreement, which will control over the remainder of the Operational Documentation. If you are enrolled to use the Product Advertising API and in the event of any conflict between this Operating Agreement and the License Agreement, this Operating Agreement will control except that the License Agreement will control with respect to your use of the Product Advertising API, Data Feed, and Product Advertising Content (each as defined in the License Agreement). Whenever used in this Operating Agreement, the terms “include(s),” “including,” “e.g.,” and “for example” mean, respectively, “include(s), without limitation,” “including, without limitation,” “e.g., without limitation,” and “for example, without limitation.” Any determinations or updates that may be made by us, any actions that may be taken by us, and any approvals that may be given by us under this Operating Agreement, may be made, taken, or given in our sole discretion.

XXI. 31 Mandatory Participation Requirements that must be adhered to

These Affiliate Program Participation Requirements outlined herein are part of this Operating Agreement that governs your participation in the Wilbur Union Affiliates Program. This page describes requirements and restrictions applicable to you as a Program participant. From time to time, we may modify the participation requirements described on this page in accordance with this Operating Agreement. All capitalized terms used below that are not defined on this page have the meanings given to them in the Operating Agreement.
1. You will ensure that your site is not unsuitable (as described in Section 2 of the Operating Agreement).
2. You will not display or otherwise use our or our affiliates’ trademarks or logos (including any Wilbur Union Mark) except solely as expressly permitted under and in accordance with the Operating Agreement.
3. You will not display or otherwise use any trademark or logo of any third party seller on the Wilbur Union Site in connection with any Special Link unless you have obtained from that seller the specific right to do so.
4. You will not remove, obscure, or alter, or make invisible, illegible, or indecipherable to visitors of your site, any “Privacy Information” link or any of our or our affiliates’ trademarks or logos (including any Wilbur Union Mark) that we include in a Special Link.
5. You will use Content solely in accordance with the terms of the Operating Agreement and within the express scope of the license granted in Section 11 of the Operating Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, you will (a) use Content solely to send end users and sales to the Wilbur Union Site and will not link any Content to, or in conjunction with any Content direct traffic to, any page of a site other than the Wilbur Union Site (however, parts of your site that are not closely associated with the Content may contain links to sites other than the Wilbur Union Site); and (b) link each use of the Content solely to the related Product detail page or other relevant page of the Wilbur Union Site and not to any other page.
6.

Upon our request, you will provide us with written certification that you have complied with this Section 6. We will specify the form of, and content required in, that certification in our request. Any failure by you to provide the certification in accordance with our request will constitute a material breach of this Operating Agreement.
7. Except as agreed between you and us in a separate written agreement referencing this Participation Requirement, you will not use any Content or Special Link, or otherwise link to the Wilbur Union Site, on or in connection with:
a. any client-side software application (e.g., a browser plug-in, helper object, toolbar, extension, or component or any other application executable or installable by an end user) on any device, including computers, mobile phones, tablets, or other handheld devices, other than Approved Mobile Applications; or
