JustAnswer
JustAnswer® Referral Program Agreement

1.  Introduction

These terms serve as the complete agreement (the "Agreement") that applies to a users' participation in the JustAnswer® Referral Program (the "Program"). This Agreement is a "related Agreement" as that term is used in the Terms of Service.

2.  Definitions

In the terms and conditions that follow, the terms "user," "you" and "your" refer to the individual or organization that is participating in the Program and "your site" means any site that you will link to health.justanswer.com (the "Site"). The terms "we," "us" and "our" will refer to JustAnswer®. Capitalized terms not defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Terms of Service.

3.  Conditions to Participation in the Program

By using the Referral Program in any way and/or clicking on the "ACCEPT" button, you are agreeing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and you will be registered to participate in the Program. If you do not understand or agree to all of the terms do not click "ACCEPT". We may terminate your participation in the Program if we determine (in our sole discretion) that you or your site are unsuitable for the Program. Unsuitable sites include, but are not limited to, those that:

  • promote sexually explicit materials, violence, discrimination, or illegal activities;
  • breach intellectual property rights of our's or any third party, including the improper use or inclusion of any trademarks; specifically, you will not use in your domain name or URL nor purchase or register in any search, referral, or advertising service the term "JustAnswer".

By participating in the Program you agree: that you will not engage in any of the above activities; that you will comply with all laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, orders, licenses, permits, judgments, decisions or other requirements of any governmental authority that has jurisdiction over you, whether those laws, etc. are now in effect or later come into effect during the time you are a Program participant, including without limiting the foregoing obligation, that you will comply with all applicable laws (federal, state or otherwise) that govern marketing email, including without limitation, the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 and all other anti-spam laws; and that you will at all times, as a registered user of the Site, be in compliance with all other terms of the Terms of Service (collectively, "Restricted Activities").

If your site is determined (in our sole discretion) to be unsuitable for the Program or if you engage in any of the Restricted Activities, we may terminate this Agreement immediately by giving notice to the last provided e-mail address.

4.  Referring New Customers and Experts to Our Site

There are three ways that you may refer new Customers to our Site: (1) by placing a JustAnswer® Question Box on your site, (2) by placing a JustAnswer® link that we provide to you on your site, and (3) by sending new Customers an e-mail containing a JustAnswer® link that we provide to you. With respect to (1) and (2), we may make available to you graphic images for the link that you provide to our site. We may modify the text or graphic images from time to time. We grant you a revocable, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license for the duration of the term of this Agreement, solely for purposes of facilitating referrals from your site to our Site.

You acknowledge that, by participating in the Program and placing a Question Box or link within your site, we may receive information from or about visitors to your site or communications between your site and those visitors. Your participation in the Program constitutes your specific and unconditional consent to and authorization for our access to, receipt, storage, use, and disclosure of any and all such information, consistent with the policies and procedures set forth in our Privacy Policy.

Users may also refer new Experts to our Site by registering for the New Expert Referral Program and providing us with their e-mail addresses.

You may not refer yourself as a new customer or a new Expert.

JustAnswer® does not work with spammers. Email marketers must conform to the CAN-SPAM act or they will be immediately removed from the referral program.

5.  Referral Fees

There are three ways to receive a Referral Fee: (1) refer a new Customer to JustAnswer®, (2) earn a percentage of the referral fees earned by a new Customer that you referred to JustAnswer®, and (3) refer a new Expert to JustAnswer® (all of which are further described below). From time to time, and in our sole discretion, JustAnswer® may offer special incentives, bonuses or increased Referral Fees, or change the Referral Fees, for some or all of our referrals.

1. Refer a New Customer

You will receive a "New Customer Referral Fee" equal to 10% of the fees paid (exclusive of any deposits or bonuses paid) by every new user of our Site who, having used your specific url or having linked to our Site from your site: registers for the first time as a Customer; posts a question; accepts an answer and pays the Expert fees (exclusive of any deposits or bonuses paid). Once becoming a registered Customer on our site, you will continue to receive a Referral Fee for every question posted, accepted and paid for by that Customer (exclusive of any deposits or bonuses paid), unless: you fail to continue Active Participation (as defined below), your participation in the Program is terminated, or the Program is discontinued.

2. Earn a Percentage of Referral Fees Generated by a New Customer You Referred

You will receive a "New Referral Fee" equal to 10% of the New Customer Referral Fees earned by every new referral who, using your specific url or linking to our Site from your site, registers as a member of this Program and is eligible to receive New Customer Referral Fees through the Program.

3. Refer a New Expert

You will receive a “New Expert Referral Fee” for every new Expert of our Site who, having used your specific url, is successful in registering as a new Expert of our Site and has a minimum number of his or her answers “accepted” by (and not reversed by or refunded to) Customers on our Site. Click here for the current schedule.

Active Participation in the Program

In order to remain eligible to receive your Referral Fees, you must continue to actively participate in the Program, which means you must continue to refer unique new Customers. If during any calendar month your New Customer Referral Fees are greater than $20, at least 2% of those fees must come from Customers who registered with us for the first time in that calendar month ("Active Participation") in order to remain eligible to receive your Referral Fees. In addition, we may terminate your participation in the Program if for three consecutive months you do not meet the Active Participation standard.

6.  Payment of Referral Fees

Once you have more than $20 of Referral Fees (you can not place funds into your account to reach $20, it must be earned) in your account, just request payment via the link in your tools menu and we will transfer the money to you via PayPal on the first business day of the following month.

7.  Temporary Hold on Accounts

In our sole discretion, we reserve the right to place a temporary hold on your account if we have reason to believe that the funds were earned under suspicious circumstances or that the funds were derived from a suspect Customer account.

We will continue to investigate the situation until we have adequate resolution, as determined by us, and which may require the involvement of certain third parties, including any applicable credit card company. We will make every commercially reasonable effort not to exceed sixty days hold on your account as we investigate.

In addition, we reserve the right to remove "earned" funds from your account to compensate for fraud, returns, or any uncollected revenue.

8.  Identifying Yourself as a Referral

You may not issue any press release with respect to this Agreement or your participation in the Program without the express written consent of JustAnswer®; such action may result in your termination from the Program. The term affiliate, as used herein, does not imply any legal affiliation between us and you and you have no right to make any commitments or representations on behalf of JustAnswer®. In addition, you may not in any manner misrepresent or embellish the relationship between us and you, or express or imply any relationship or affiliation between us and you or any other person or entity except as expressly permitted by this Agreement.

9.  Limited License

We grant you a nonexclusive, revocable right to use the graphic image and text available at health.justanswer.com/referrals and such other text or images for which we grant express permission, solely for the purpose of including a link, banner or question box on your Site. You may modify the graphic image or text, but not any sample questions, answers, or Expert Profiles, by using the menu options provided. You may not use any of our other images or text, in any way without our express written permission. You may not remove our JustAnswer® logo from a question box, although you may move it around using the menu we provide. 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 request the change of text on a site at any time. We may revoke your license at any time by giving you written notice.

Except for the license granted under Section 4 above and in this Section 8, you do not obtain any rights under this Agreement in any of our intellectual property, including, without limitation, any intellectual property with respect to our Site or domain name.

10.  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. 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 contents of your site. We disclaim all liability for these matters.

11. Term of the Agreement

The term of this Agreement will begin upon your acceptance of these terms 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 notice of termination. 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, and all of our trademarks, trade dress, 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 eligible to earn referral fees only for referrals that occur during the term, and Referral Fees earned through the date of termination will remain payable only if payment is received. We may withhold your final payment for a reasonable time to ensure that the correct amount is paid.

12. Right of Modification and Termination

We reserve the right to change, revise or modify this Agreement at any time by posting the amended terms on the Site. All amended terms shall automatically be effective 10 days after they are initially posted on the Site. Your continued participation in the Program will signify your acceptance of the revised terms. If you do not accept the revised terms, your sole and exclusive remedy is to discontinue participation in the Program. The latest terms of this Agreement will be posted on the Site, and you should review them frequently. In addition, we reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to modify or discontinue the Program, for any reason, without notice.

13. 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. You will have no authority to make or accept any offers or representations on our behalf. You will not make any statement, whether on your site or otherwise, that reasonably would contradict anything in this section.

14. 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 referral fees paid or payable to you under this Agreement.

16. Disputes, Assignment, and Governing Law

The TOS and this Agreement constitute the complete and exclusive statement of the Agreement between you and us regarding the Program. They supersede any and all prior or contemporaneous agreements, oral or written, and any other communications, representations, warranties and understanding relating to the subject matter of this Agreement.
