pages. However, DO NOT skip this one! Why? Because WE DO NOT TOLERATE SPAM
OR AFFILIATE PROGRAM ABUSE IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM! If you break the
rules, your clickbank account WILL BE SHUT DOWN AND YOU MAY FORFEIT YOUR
EARNINGS! We will have clickbank shut down spammers if the rules are
broken. Please read every word of this agreement so you know the rules!
MUSCLEGAININGSECRETS.COM AFFILIATE AGREEMENT
This agreement describes the terms and conditions for participation in
the Muscle Gaining Secrets e-book Affiliate Program. In this agreement,
the term “Affiliate” refers to you (the applicant). In this agreement,
Muscle Gaining Secrets and/or MuscleGainingSecrets.com refers to the
product owner and publisher, MuscleGainingSecrets.com, a division of
Relentless Athletics.
The Muscle Gaining Secrets affiliate program (MuscleGainingSecrets.com) 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
MuscleGainingSecrets.com affiliate program is governed by all rules,
regulations, terms and conditions dictated by clickbank.com’s Affiliate
Site.
An affiliate account can be created by filling out and submitting the
clickbank affiliate sign up form at clickbank.com. 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 www.MuscleGainingSecrets.com.
Commissions
Affiliates will receive 55% 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, MuscleGainingSecrets.com. Commissions may increase during limited time special promotions, but they will return thereafter to the regular 75% 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
MuscleGainingSecrets.com (via clickbank) will be solely responsible for
processing every e-book order placed by a customer on the Affiliate Site.

to sell any of these products on ebay or other auction sites Affiliates
