1. Enrollment in the Program

To enroll in the Program, you must submit a complete Program application via our site. You will receive immediate online confirmation of your password and Affiliate ID, and instructions to begin immediate participation as an Affiliate in the Program pursuant to this agreement. However, we will evaluate your site when we receive your application, and we may reject your participation as an Affiliate in the Program and terminate this agreement at any time if we determine (at our sole discretion) that your site is unsuitable for the Program. Examples of unsuitable sites include, but are not limited to, sites that:

  • Contain or promote sexually explicit materials;


  • Contain or promote violence;


  • Promote discrimination based on race, sex, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation, or age;


  • Promote illegal activities;


  • Violate intellectual property or trademark rights of WorldTravelCenter.com or any other person or entity; and/or are not compatible with WorldTravelCenter.com's policies, objectives, or best interests.

2. Links on Your Site

Once you have received the online confirmation of receipt of your complete Program application, you may provide on your site one or more links to our site. We will provide you with guidelines and graphical artwork to use in linking to our site. You may only use those links that WorldTravelCenter.com provides for use as part of the Program. You agree to modify or disable certain links as designated by WorldTravelCenter.com within seven (7) days of WorldTravelCenter.com's request. To permit accurate tracking, reporting, and registration fee accrual, we will provide you with an Affiliate Links Guide and special "tagged" link formats to be used in all links between your site and our site. You must ensure that each of the links between your site and our site complies with the instructions in the Affiliate Links Guide and properly utilizes such special link formats. Links to our site placed on your site pursuant to this agreement and which properly utilize such special link formats are referred to as "Special Links." You will only earn registration fees with respect to activity on our site occurring directly through Special Links; we will not be liable to you with respect to any failure by you to use Special Links, including to the extent that such failure may result in any reduction of any benefits to which you would be entitled pursuant to this agreement.

3. Purchase Processing

We will be responsible for all aspects of purchase processing and fulfillment on our site, in conjunction with our participating providers, including all insurance and travel product purchases made by users who follow Special Links from your site to our site. We reserve the right to reject purchases that do not comply with any requirements that we periodically may establish. Among other things, we will process payments and any refund requests, and handle user inquiries.

4. Registration Fees

We will pay you (in accordance with Sections 5 and 6 below) registration fees for each user who follows a Special Link from your site to our site and completes our online registration form. All registration fees shall be calculated and paid in United States dollars.

5. Registration Fee Schedule

You will earn a flat fee of US$5.00 per registration form completed by a user who follows a Special Link from your site to our site. These fees may be modified at any time as set forth in Item 14 below.

6. Registration Fee Payment

We will pay you registration fees on a monthly basis. Approximately 10 days following the end of each month, we will send you a check for the registration fees earned on registrations during that month. However, if the total cash registration fees payable to you for any month are less than US$25.00, we will hold those registration fees until the total amount due is at least US$25.00 or until this agreement is terminated, whichever occurs first.

7. Fraudulent Registration

By entering into this agreement, you agree that Special Links will be provided on your site for users who have a bona fide interest in the insurance and travel products available on our site. If we determine, in our sole discretion, that registration forms are being completed in a fraudulent manner by users following Special Links from your site to our site solely to enable you to collect registration fee payments, we will terminate this agreement immediately pursuant to Item 13. We will not pay registration fees for registrations which we suspect are fraudulent. In such a situation, you may provide us with evidence that the registrations in issue were bona fide. However, the final decision to terminate the agreement and withhold payment is entirely within our discretion. YOUR ONLY RECOURSE IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THIS PROVISION IS NOT TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT.

8. Tracking

We will provide you with on-line access to current tracking information, including up-to-date information regarding registrations and payment information.

9. Policies and Pricing

Users who register on WorldTravelCenter.com through this Program will be deemed to be users of WorldTravelCenter.com. Accordingly, all WorldTravelCenter.com rules, policies, and operating procedures concerning WorldTravelCenter.com products and services will apply to those users. We may change our policies and operating procedures at any time.

10. Linking to Us

We will make available to you graphic images that identify your site as a Program participant. You must display these logos and images and/or text link(s) containing either the term "WorldTravelCenter.com" and/or a generic term such as "travel insurance" on your site. We may modify the text or graphic image of this notice from time to time. You may not make any press release with respect to this agreement or your participation in the Program without our prior written consent, which may be given or withheld in our sole discretion.

11. Limited License

We grant you a nonexclusive, revocable right to use the graphic images and text described in Item 10 and such other images for which we grant express permission and those images which we provide as part of the Program, solely for the purpose of identifying your site as a Program participant and to assist in generating user registrations. You may not modify the graphic image or text, or any other of our images, in any way. We reserve all of our rights in the graphic image and text, any other images, our trade names and trademarks, and all other intellectual property rights. We may revoke your license at any time by giving you prior written or electronic notice.

12. Responsibility for Your Site

You will be solely responsible for the development, operation, and maintenance of your site and for all materials that appear on your site. For example, you will be solely responsible for:

  • The technical operation of your site and all related equipment.


  • The accuracy and appropriateness of materials posted on your site.


  • Ensuring that materials posted on your site do not violate or infringe upon the rights of any third party (including, for example, copyrights, trademarks, privacy, or other personal or proprietary rights)


  • Ensuring that materials posted on your site are not libelous or otherwise illegal, offensive, or obscene.


  • Disabling or modifying broken or outdated or misdirected links as requested by WorldTravelCenter.com

We disclaim all liability for these matters. Further, you will indemnify and hold us harmless from all claims, damages, and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees) relating to the development, operation, maintenance, and content of your site.

13. Term of the Agreement

The term of this agreement will begin upon our online confirmation of receipt of your complete Program application and will end when terminated by either party. Either you or we may terminate this agreement at any time, with or without cause, by giving the other party written or electronic notice of termination. In the event you provide an email address which is or becomes outdated or invalid, we may terminate this agreement and your participation without notice. Upon the termination of this agreement for any reason, you will immediately cease use of, and remove from your site, all links to our site, all reference to WorldTravelCenter.com or to the Program, and all WorldTravelCenter.com trademarks, servicemarks, graphics, and logos, and all other materials provided by or on behalf of us to you pursuant hereto or in connection with the Program. You are only eligible to earn registration fees on user registrations during the term of this agreement, and registration fees earned through the date of termination will remain payable, provided that such registration fees are not related to fraudulent registrations as set forth in Item 7.

14. Modification

We may modify any of the terms and conditions contained in this agreement, at any time and in our sole discretion, by posting a change notice or a new agreement on our site. Modifications may include, for example, changes in the scope of available registration fees, registration fee schedules, payment procedures, and Program rules. IF ANY MODIFICATION IS UNACCEPTABLE TO YOU, YOUR ONLY RECOURSE IS TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT. YOUR CONTINUED PARTICIPATION IN THE PROGRAM FOLLOWING OUR POSTING OF A CHANGE NOTICE OR NEW AGREEMENT ON OUR SITE WILL CONSTITUTE BINDING ACCEPTANCE OF THE CHANGE.

15. Relationship of Parties

You and we are independent contractors, and nothing in this agreement will create any partnership, joint venture, agency, franchise, sales representative, or employment relationship between the parties regardless of the terms used to describe the relationship. You will have no authority to make or accept any offers or representations on our behalf or to sell any products or services which are included on our site. You will not make any statement, whether on your site or otherwise, that reasonably would contradict anything in this Item.

16. 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 Program, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Further, our aggregate liability arising with respect to this agreement and the Program will not exceed the total registration fees paid or payable to you under this agreement.

17. Disclaimers

We make no express or implied warranties or representations with respect to our site or any products or services booked or sold through our site (including, without limitation, warranties of fitness, merchantability, non-infringement, or any implied warranties arising out of a course of performance, dealing, or trade usage). In addition, we make no representation that the operation of our site will be uninterrupted or error-free, and we will not be liable for the consequences of any interruptions or errors.

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 USER REGISTRATIONS 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. YOU HAVE INDEPENDENTLY EVALUATED THE DESIRABILITY OF PARTICIPATING IN THE PROGRAM AND ARE NOT RELYING ON ANY REPRESENTATION, GUARANTEE, OR STATEMENT OTHER THAN AS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT.
