AFFILIATE AGREEMENT

This Affiliate Agreement ("Agreement") is entered into as of March 1st, 2020, by and between DX Products, LLC ("DXP"), and you ("Affiliate"), each being referred to individually hereinafter as, a "Party," and collectively as, the "Parties."

1. Definitions.
"Action" means a Click, Lead, or sale generated as a result of an Advertisement.

"Advertisements" means those certain advertisements of DXP for the sale of certain products and/or services which DXP expressly authorizes Affiliate to distribute under the terms of this Agreement.

"Click" occurs when an internet user clicks through a Link that Affiliate has placed for DXP.

"Lead" occurs when an internet user completes a lead form as described in an applicable Insertion Order.

"Link" means a hyperlink placed by Affiliate that, when clicked on, serves DXP's website or other designated landing page to the internet user's browser.  The Link may be in the form of text, a product image, a button, a banner, or any other format acceptable to DXP and defined in an applicable Insertion Order.

2. Advertisements and Insertion Orders.  Pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and as specified on the applicable "Insertion Order," Affiliate can distribute Advertisements via one or more online channels to earn commissions for each Action generated for DXP.  When executed by DXP and Affiliate, each Insertion Order becomes a part of this Agreement.

3. Eligibility; Collection and Use of Personal Information.  Affiliate must be at least 18 years of age or older and otherwise legally able to enter into this Agreement.  If Affiliate is an entity, Affiliate must be operated by persons 18 years of age or older.

In order to become an advertising Affiliate of DXP pursuant to this Agreement, Affiliate must provide to DXP truthful and correct personally identifiable information as requested by DXP.  If Affiliate chooses to provide information through an online registration process or through any other means, Affiliate may be asked to provide his or her name, company name, physical address, billing address, telephone number, facsimile number, email address, website address, tax payer ID number, or social security number, billing or payment information, and other identifying information.  Submission of false or incorrect identifying information or tax information is grounds for immediate termination of Affiliate's account with DXP.  DXP reserves the right to share this personal information that Affiliate provides with DXP's partners, outside accounting firms, legal counsel, state and federal tax services, and any government or law enforcement agency that requests such information.

Affiliate must register with DXP all active domain names, subdomain names, and email addresses used by Affiliate to display or distribute Advertisements.  Affiliate must update its list of registered domain names, subdomain names, and email addresses in real-time to ensure the list is accurate and complete at all times.  Domain names used to send Advertisements via electronic mail must be properly registered such that each domain name is traceable to the sender by performing a single WHOIS lookup.

DXP may contact you by email, telephone, or any other contact method you provide, in order to communicate with you about DXP, this Agreement, or any other purpose.

4. Payment.  DXP shall pay Affiliate between fourteen (14) and sixty (60) days after the end of the month, unless another payment arrangement is agreed to in writing by an officer of DXP, as based on DXP's electronic tracking system.  Affiliate will be paid per the terms of the applicable Insertion Order.  DXP, in its sole discretion, may use any commercially reasonable method for making payments to Affiliate.  No payment will be made for Actions that are determined, in the sole and good faith discretion of DXP, to be fraudulent, incomplete, not in compliance with the time or terms of the particular Insertion Order.  DXP shall not be responsible to pay Affiliate for traffic, actions, impressions, clicks, or any other desired actions that are not recorded due to Affiliate's error. No payment will be issued for any amount less than $100 ("Minimum Payment").  All unpaid earnings will rollover to the next period.  Based on the Minimum Payment, any Affiliate account that goes unpaid for six (6) months becomes subject to account inactivity and may lead to account termination. As a condition for payment hereunder, Affiliate must provide:  (a) the correct mailing address or payment instructions; (b) email address; and (c) a completed and accurate W-9 or equivalent (for U.S. Affiliates) or W-8 or equivalent (for Non-U.S. Affiliates).

DXP may take legal action and reserves the absolute right to withhold payment from accounts for Affiliates that violate any of the terms of this Agreement or the applicable Insertion Order.

DXP shall only be obligated to make payments to Affiliate in accordance with, and subject to, the foregoing payment restrictions.

Affiliate is responsible for any taxes that may be due on the payments provided by DXP to Affiliate under this Agreement.

Additionally, DXP reserves the right to reduce any payments owed to Affiliate as a consequence of any offsets taken by DXP for technical errors, tracking discrepancies, and the like.

DXP is unable to wire Affiliates located in Myanmar (MM), Iran (IR), North Korea a/k/a Democratic People's Republic of Korea (KP), Sudan (SD), or Syria a/k/a Syrian Arab Republic (SY).  This list is subject to change without notice to Affiliate.

5. Disputes.  If Affiliate has a bona fide dispute with respect to a payment, Affiliate must provide DXP with written notice of the dispute within seven (7) days of the receipt of such payment.  Affiliate must identify the specific payment(s) in dispute, provide a reasonably detailed written explanation of the basis for the dispute within seven (7) days of the payment date, and reasonably cooperate with DXP in investigating and resolving the dispute.  If Affiliate does not provide a written dispute to DXP regarding payment or the payment terms within such time period, Affiliate will have waived the right to bring an action regarding a payment dispute.

6. Term and Termination.  The term of this Agreement, shall commence on the date of its execution or other acceptance by both Parties and shall continue in full force and effect for a period of one (1) year (the "Initial Term").  Thereafter, this Agreement shall automatically renew on a yearly basis unless terminated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (the "Renewal Term").  In the absence of written acceptance by Affiliate, Affiliate's act of tendering services to DXP, or otherwise distributing Advertisements, shall constitute acceptance by Affiliate of this Agreement.

Either Party may terminate this Agreement upon sixty (60) days written notice to the other Party.

This Agreement or any Insertion Order(s) (unless the Insertion Order is designated as non-cancelable) may be terminated by a Party if (a) the other Party breaches a material obligation provided hereunder, and the breaching Party fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt of a written notice to the breaching Party, specifying:  (i) the nature of the default; and (ii) the intent of the non-breaching Party to terminate this Agreement if such default is not so cured; (b) the other Party has had an Insolvency Event; or (c) as otherwise provided by the applicable Insertion Order.  As used herein, "Insolvency Event" means making a general assignment for the benefit of a Party's creditors, filing a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or any petition or answer seeking, consenting to, or acquiescing in reorganization or similar relief or an involuntary petition in bankruptcy or other insolvency protection is filed against the applicable Party.

Upon termination, Affiliate shall immediately discontinue distributing any Advertisements and return all Confidential Information.

7. Rules and Compliance with Applicable Laws and Terms.  Affiliate warrants and agrees that it will at all times comply with the following rules:  Affiliate agrees to follow the exact specifications of each Advertisement, offer, or campaign as stated in the applicable Insertion Order or otherwise stated in writing from DXP.  Affiliate agrees not to alter or modify any Advertisement in any manner unless prior written approval is obtained from DXP.  Affiliate agrees not to spawn malicious, false, or deceptive pop-ups or exit pop-ups, use pop-ups that block or interfere with other affiliates or Advertisements, use any downloadable applications unless the downloader has been given clear and conspicuous notice of the terms of the download, generate leads that are not initiated by the affirmative acts of a consumer, promote any illegal activity including, without limitation, gambling, illegal substances, software piracy, or hacking, use invisible methods to generate impressions, clicks, or transactions that are not initiated by a user, attempt in any way to alter, modify, eliminate, conceal, or otherwise render inoperable or ineffective the network internet protocol, media site tags, source codes, links, pixels, modules, or other data provided by or obtained from DXP that allows DXP to serve the Advertisements and/or measure performance, place statements near the Advertisements requesting action (e.g., "please click here") or use misleading statements (e.g., "you will win"), intentionally place Advertisements on blank web pages, place Advertisements on non-approved websites, or direct or redirect traffic to websites other than those approved and listed by DXP.  All links and Advertisements must be clearly recognizable as an advertisement.  Affiliate agrees not to post Advertisements on personal websites, free websites, on Craigslist or similar websites, on websites that use nonsensical or misleading domain names, that include sexually explicit content, or that are just a list of Advertisements.  Websites must be content based.

The Affiliate acknowledges and agrees to comply with all rules relating to the authorized, unauthorized, and proper use of the Seller’s trademarks, logos, and brand identifiers, as outlined in this Agreement and any accompanying Brand Guidelines issued by the Seller.

Authorized use of the Bathmate logo and associated brand elements is limited to Affiliates who have received prior express written consent from the Seller. In such cases, the Affiliate may use the Bathmate name, logo, and associated brand identifiers solely for the purpose of promoting the Seller’s products via approved affiliate marketing channels, and only in strict compliance with the Seller’s Brand Guidelines. Affiliates must clearly identify themselves using approved language such as “Authorized Bathmate Affiliate” to avoid confusion with the Seller, and all promotional materials must include proper trademark attribution (e.g., “BATHMATE is a trademark of DX Products Ltd., registered in the U.K. and other countries and regions”) to indicate that the materials are not issued by the Seller.

Unauthorized uses include any incorporation of “Bathmate,” “Hydro,” “Hydromax,” “HydroXtreme,” or any other Seller trademarks—whether wordmarks or graphic assets—in the Affiliate’s company name, product name, service name, website name, or any other branding element. The Affiliate may not use terms such as “Official,” “Certified,” or similar terminology in any context that may suggest endorsement or operation by the Seller. Examples of prohibited names include, but are not limited to, “Official Bathmate Store,” “BathmateHydromax,” “HydroBathmate,” “HydromaxNewYork,” or any similar variation. The Affiliate further acknowledges that DX Products Ltd. is the sole owner of the Bathmate and Hydromax trademarks and agrees not to interfere with, challenge, or dilute those rights in any way.

The Bathmate logo or any other Seller-owned graphic symbol or icon must not be used in a way that suggests the Affiliate’s website or promotional material is owned or operated by the Seller. Specifically, Affiliates are prohibited from placing the Seller’s trademarks in a visually dominant or primary position, such as in the header, navigation bar, or hero section of a webpage. Seller trademarks must always appear subordinate to the Affiliate’s own branding, and must not appear on any digital property without the Affiliate’s own logo clearly visible and hierarchically prominent. The use of Bathmate’s logo or trademarks in the header, footer, or navigation of any website, landing page, or app—whether desktop or mobile—is strictly prohibited unless explicitly authorized in writing by the Seller. For example, it is not acceptable for an Affiliate landing page to display only the Bathmate logo without a corresponding and prominent Affiliate logo.

Affiliates may not use phonetic equivalents, abbreviations, foreign language translations, or visual modifications of Seller trademarks in any capacity. This includes, but is not limited to, uses such as “HydroX,” “Bmate,” “HydromaxDeals,” or other derivative branding. The Affiliate must not present their promotional materials in a way that implies affiliation, endorsement, or sponsorship by the Seller. This includes the use of any phrase or layout suggesting that Bathmate is operated by or delivered through the Affiliate, such as “Bathmate by EXAMPLE LLC” or “Hydromax Support by EXAMPLE LLC.”

Imitating the Seller’s distinctive trade dress—including packaging design, website UI/UX, typography, color schemes, or structural layout—is prohibited. Affiliates must avoid replicating the Seller’s site fonts, layout hierarchy, navigation patterns, or design language, in part or in whole. Additionally, the Affiliate may not register or use any domain names that incorporate Seller trademarks or closely resemble them. Examples of prohibited domain names include “bathmatestore.com,” “bathmatepump.com,” and “officialbathmate.com.”

All use of Seller trademarks must adhere to the original spelling, capitalization, and formatting as shown in the Seller’s Trademark List. The Affiliate may not abbreviate, hyphenate, or otherwise modify Seller product names. For example, “HydroXtreme” is acceptable, while “Hydro Xtreme,” “Xtreme,” or “HydromaxX” are not.

For the purposes of this clause, “Use” shall mean any action to advertise, market, or promote the Seller’s products, whether directly or through any form of affiliate placement or performance marketing.

The Affiliate may not operate any affiliate, referral, or incentive program that implies it is part of, sponsored by, or officially affiliated with the Seller. The Affiliate shall not use Seller trademarks—such as “Bathmate,” “Hydromax,” or “HydroXtreme”—within any legal policies on their website, including Terms of Use, Privacy Policies, or Shipping and Returns Policies, in a way that binds the Seller or implies that such content was written or endorsed by the Seller. Prohibited examples include phrases such as “Bathmate shall...” or “Hydromax is responsible for…”

The Affiliate may not use the Seller’s trademarks in the naming or description of any customer service function, including but not limited to “Bathmate Customer Support” or “Official Hydromax Support.” Nor may the Affiliate use any Seller trademarks in the naming or branding of any affiliate program or promotional initiative. Examples of prohibited terms include “Bathmate Affiliate Program,” “Hydromax Partner Network,” or “HydroXtreme Rewards.”

All marketing communications, websites, landing pages, or other customer-facing material associated with any Affiliate-operated program must clearly state that the program is independently operated and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or officially associated with the Seller. An acceptable disclosure would be: “This program is operated by EXAMPLE LLC and is not affiliated with Bathmate or DX Products Ltd.”

Any breach of these provisions shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement, entitling the Seller to terminate the Affiliate relationship with immediate effect, without prejudice to any other rights or remedies available to the Seller.

Affiliate agrees not to use, or allow the use of, incentivized traffic or incentivized ad placement, or to provide any incentive to the recipient of any electronic Advertisement for any purpose, including to induce the recipient to initiate an Action.

Unless expressly provided in writing, Affiliate is prohibited from publishing or otherwise distributing Advertisements by telemarketing, fax, or text messaging in any form to any device.

DXP may subsequently add, change, or remove some or all of the advertising content.  If such a change is made, Affiliate shall ensure that it is using the most current version of the advertising content within twenty four (24) hours of DXP's notification to Affiliate of such change.

Affiliate may not use any trademarks, service marks or branded terms of DXP, or any other term excluded in any applicable Insertion Order, in any manner to Link or otherwise direct traffic to any DXP sites or landing pages.  This prohibition includes, but is not limited to, purchasing keywords from search engine service providers, or purchasing inclusion in search engine networks, where the associated keywords include the trademark, service mark and/or brand name of DXP including, without limitation, any derivative or misspelling of any such trademark, service mark or brand name.

Affiliate may not publish any discount codes without the express, written consent of DXP. In such event, Affiliate may only publish official DXP discount codes on Affiliate’s site that DXP may send directly to Affiliate as part of its marketing program, in DXP's sole discretion. Affiliate may not publish discount codes that are not directly provided by DXP to Affiliate expressly for use in marketing DXP products. In cases where the sale generated has such a discount code applied, payable commission will be reduced to 5% of the sale amount. Affiliate may not publish misleading or false information about DXP discount codes or other DXP site discount codes or promotional offers.  Misleading information includes, but is not limited to, the following: posting a discount code with the wrong corresponding description of the discount, posting an expired discount code, directing visitors to click a link to receive a discount automatically (i.e. “Click here for 10% off”), using a domain or URL structure that includes the terms discount, coupon or other related term(s).

Affiliate agrees not to post on any platform or channel any Advertisements or other material that is, in the sole discretion of DXP, illegal, obscene, indecent or offensive to the average reasonable person; is threatening or abusive; is libelous or defamatory; is discriminatory or promotes racism, bigotry or hatred; infringes on any intellectual property or is in violation of any copyright or trademark law; violates any right of privacy or celebrity; promotes harmful, unlawful, seditious, or criminal activity; could give rise to civil liability; or contains viruses, worms, Trojan Horse, or other harmful files.

Affiliate represents and warrants that Affiliate has the appropriate authority to operate Affiliate's websites or other mechanisms of distributing Advertisements (including the publication of any content on any such websites or mechanisms) and that Affiliate will at all times comply with all applicable state and federal laws, rules, and regulations, including, but not limited to, the following:  the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003, as amended, together with any similar state laws (collectively, "CAN-SPAM"), California & Business Code 17529, et seq., the Canadian Anti-Spam Legislation, the Restore Online Shopper's Confidence Act, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, all Federal Trade Commission rules and guidance concerning online advertising, the FTC Guides Concerning Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising, the FTC's Business Opportunity Rule, as amended from time to time, the FTC Guide Concerning Use of the Word "Free" and Similar Representations, the FTC's Advertising Guide for Dietary Supplements, all applicable FDA statutes, regulations, and guidelines, including, but not limited to, the Nutrition Labeling and Education Act, the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, the Dietary Supplements Health and Education Act, and the regulations implementing these Acts, and if applicable the Telemarketing and Consumer Fraud and Abuse Prevention Act, and all rules and regulations promulgated by the Federal Trade Commission or Federal Communications Commission thereunder.

Affiliate represents and warrants that Affiliate will at all times comply with all Terms and Conditions required by any and all third-parties utilized by Affiliate to distribute Advertisements under this Agreement.

13. Confidentiality.  Affiliate recognizes that DXP may from time to time furnish to Affiliate information of a proprietary or confidential nature relating to DXP ("Confidential Information").  Affiliate shall (a) utilize Confidential Information only to the extent necessary in order to perform its obligations pursuant to this Agreement; (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to preserve and safeguard the proprietary or confidential nature of all Confidential Information; (c) not use DXP's Confidential Information for competing with DXP or for any purpose not solely in furtherance of its performance under this Agreement; and (d) not disclose to any person or entity (other than Affiliate's agents, and employees on a need-to-know basis) any Confidential Information except with DXP's prior consent.
