OPTIMUM FITNESS NETWORK
AFFILIATE AGREEMENT
This agreement describes the terms and conditions for participation in the Optimum Fitness Network Affiliate Program. In this agreement, the term "Affiliate" refers to you (the applicant). In this agreement, "vendor" refers to the product owner and publisher, Eddie Lomax and Optimum Fitness Network LLC, (A Delaware Limited Liability corporation).
The Optimum Fitness Network Affiliate Program is administered entirely through a 3rd party affiliate management company called Clickbank (www.clickbank.com).
To enroll in the affiliate program, if they have not done so already, all affiliates must sign up on the Clickbank website. The Optimum Fitness Network Affiliate Program is governed by all rules, regulations, terms and conditions dictated by Clickbank’s “client contract”
Affiliate Site
An affiliate account can be created by filling out and submitting the Clickbank affiliate sign up form here:
Clickbank.net
On that page, each new affiliate will be asked to choose a Clickbank account name (also called a clickbank affiliate “nickname”), consisting of 5 – 10 letters and digits). This Clickbank nickname will be used in the affiliate hoplink. When a prospective customer clicks on an affiliate's hoplink the destination website will be the corresponding Optimum Fitness Network website.
Commissions
Affiliates will receive 51% of the revenue as a commission from orders placed through properly coded Affiliate links (unless noted otherwise for a particular product), less the charges outlined in the Clickbank accounting policy page.
Commissions may change at the discretion of the product publisher, Optimum Fitness Network. Commissions may increase during limited time special promotions, but they will return thereafter to the regular 51% commission rate.
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 through the Clickbank secure order system. Word of mouth referrals will not result in an affiliate commission being generated. Commissions will only be paid on sales that are made when the customer clicks through qualified, correctly structured Affiliate links. Properly coded links are the sole responsibility of the affiliate.
Payment
Clickbank will send a check for the applicable commissions within the framework of their payment policies: www.clickbank.com/paychecks.html. If any order that generated an affiliate commission is returned by the customer, or if there are any returned checks or charge backs, the amount will be deducted by Clickbank from the next payment due to the affiliate.
Order Fulfillment
Optimum Fitness Network (via clickbank) will be solely responsible for processing every e-book order placed by a customer on the Affiliate Site. Affiliates are not authorized to collect payments or sell any Optimum Fitness Network products from other websites as a "reseller" and no "resale" rights are granted in ANY way. Affiliates are not authorized to sell any of these products on Ebay or other auction sites. Affiliates are not authorized to give away copies of any of these products. Optimum Fitness Network will also be solely responsible for all customer service inquires. All affiliates understand and acknowledge that no physical products will be shipped. All products are in electronic format (PDF, MP3, etc.), only available through download.
Customers
Customers who purchase products and services through the Affiliate Program will be deemed to be customers of Optimum Fitness Network. Accordingly, all 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. Optimum Fitness Network policies will always determine the price paid by the customer.

Clickbank and the Optimum Fitness Network reserve the right to refuse any site entry into the Affiliate Program based on site content. Sites that do not qualify for the Affiliate Program include sites which:
- Promote sexually explicit materials
- Promote violence
- Promote discrimination based on race, sex, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation, or age

Be conscious of forum rules! If a forum owner or moderator complains that an affiliate has spammed, the affiliate account may be permanently terminated after investigation.
