1. Enrollment in the Program
To begin the enrollment process, you will submit a completed Affiliate Program
registration form from this website. We will evaluate your website and will
notify you of your acceptance or rejection. We may reject your application if
we determine (at our sole discretion) that your site is unsuitable for our Affiliate
Program for any reason including, but not limited to discrimination based on
race, sex, religion, nationally, disability, age, sexual orientation, or incorporates
materials that infringe or assist others to infringe on copyright, trademark
or other intellectual property rights.
If we reject your application, you may reapply to our Affiliate Program at any
time. Also note that if we accept your application and your site is thereafter
determined (at our sole discretion) to be unsuitable for our Affiliate Program,
we may terminate this Agreement.
2. Links on Your Site

to start without waiting for our approval of your site.
3. Order Processing and Reporting
Services contracted and products purchased by customers who follow links from
your site to our site will be processed and tracked using cookies or other similar
technology that tracks customers return visits for up to 1 year.. We are responsible
for order processing and fulfillment including, but not limited to, preparing
Website design estimates, processing payments, returns and handling customer
service. Sales initiated by customers tracked from your site to our site will
be recorded in sales reports available to you via a monthly email report.
4. Commission Amount
The Commission Amount is as per Schedule for each new client. The Commission
Rate is subject to change at any time or from time to time, in our sole and
absolute discretion. You will be notified of any change in the Commission Amount.
Any changes would apply only to future sales and would likely serve to incentivise
affiliates.

Commissions will be paid on a monthly basis, approximately 20 days following
the end of each calendar month. A PayPal payment or Wire Transfer will be send
for the commissions earned on our services and sales. PayPal is preferred and
the default, unless requested by you.
Wire Transferring Costs will be deducted from your account. No costs are deducted
from PayPal payments except those costs charged by PayPal themselve. If the
commissions total less then $25 for that month we will hold those commissions
to be paid the following month, only if those commission reach a total of $25
or more. Net Sales will be reduced for amounts due to credit card fraud, bad
debts, cancellations and credits. A commission will only be paid if the visitor
to our site is tracked by the system from the time of the link to the time of
the sale. No commission will be paid if the visitor to our site cannot be tracked
by our system.

Customers who buy products and services through our Affiliate Program will be
deemed to be customers of HGP. Accordingly, all HGP rules, policies, and operating

sold under our Affiliate Program in accordance with our own pricing policies.
