Market Compensation Terms - Registration Agreement
1.
INTRODUCTION. You ("Registrant") submit this
registration agreement ("Registration Agreement")
to SkyGuard Security, LLC, a Pennsylvania limited
liability company ("SkyGuard"), for the purpose
of applying for service(s) provided by SkyGuard.
If SkyGuard, in its sole discretion, accepts Registrant's
application for SkyGuard's service(s), Registrant
agrees to be bound by the terms of this Registration
Agreement, and SkyGuard's terms of privacy and website
use and other published guidelines that may be updated
from time to time (together, the "Terms of Use"),
all of which are incorporated herein and made a
part of this Registration Agreement by reference.
The acceptance of this Registration Agreement and
the performance of SkyGuard's service(s) will occur
at SkyGuard's offices in Harleysville, Pennsylvania.
2.
MARKETING COMMISSION. SkyGuard agrees to
pay registrant a commission for the products and
services sold as a result of those referred by the
registrant or those referred within their multi-level
genealogy. Registrant agrees that to earn commissions
they must refer prospects to their affiliate marketing
website URL in order to obtain credit. This website
URL can be found from within their members area
at www.skyguard360.com and can be verified by searching
for the registrants own "affiliate/member ID number"
embedded within the website URL itself. When referring
others to this website URL SkyGuard will attempt
to place a "cookie" on the prospect's computer in
order to track their activity and properly credit
sales commissions. However, SkyGuard is not responsible
and liable for any non-tracked lost commissions
due to the prospect's computer refusing to accept
or retain cookies throughout the sales process for
any reason. SkyGuard is also not responsible for
lost sales and commissions during any possible downtime
of the www.skyguard360.com website. All tracked
sales will result in commissions being paid out
according to the following structure.
a)
Initial Product Sales: Initial product sales refer
to the $249.97 paid up-front in order to join
and become a member of SkyGuard and receive a
security product for this purchase. Registrant
agrees that according to the SkyGuard compensation
plan, every fourth and eighth sale directly made
by the registrant is passed up to the person who
referred the registrant to SkyGuard. Passed up
refers to the process of that sale actually becoming
the ownership of the registrant's direct referrer.
Therefore that person becoming the owner of the
sale now earns the up-front and recurring commissions
from that sale. SkyGuard reserves the right to
change the pass-up structure at any time, meaning
that SkyGuard may at its sole distraction decide
to make sales two and four pass-up sales rather
than sales four and eight. As long as a sale is
not qualified as a pass-up sale and is therefore
being kept as the ownership of registrant or the
ownership of someone from within their multi-level
genealogy, then the following payment structure
will be paid. (1) Tier 1 or Level 1 (this being
all sales directly referred by registrant) will
earn the registrant $40 in commission. (2) Tier
2 or Level 2 (this being all sales directly referred
by the direct referrals of the registrant) will
earn the registrant $30 in commission. (3) Tier
3 or Level 3 (this being all sales directly referred
by the direct referrals of the direct referrals
of registrant) will earn the registrant $10 in
commissions. (4) Tier 4 or Level 4 (this being
all sales directly referred by the direct referrals
of the direct referrals of the direct referrals
of the registrant) will earn the registrant $10
in commissions. This commission payout structure
covers the total available commission payout upon
the initial product sale. SkyGuard reserves the
right to change this structure at any time. At
its sole distraction, SkyGuard may decide to add
more or less commission levels and/or change the
payout amount on each level.
b)
Recurring Service Sales: Recurring service sales
refers to the $29.97 paid each month by any active
member of SkyGuard in order to receive home monitoring
and identity theft protection and remain a participant
of the SkyGuard commission plan. Recurring commissions
on these sales are paid only upon successful billings.
If any customer fails to bill no commissions will
be paid. In accordance with each successful rebilling
the following commission structure will be paid.
(1) Tier 1 or Level 1 (this being all sales directly
referred by registrant) will earn the registrant
$6 in commission. (2) Tier 2 or Level 2 (this
being all sales directly referred by the direct
referrals of the registrant) will earn the registrant
$3 in commission. (3) Tier 3 or Level 3 (this
being all sales directly referred by the direct
referrals of the direct referrals of registrant)
will earn the registrant $3 in commissions. (4)
Tier 4 or Level 4 (this being all sales directly
referred by the direct referrals of the direct
referrals of the direct referrals of the registrant)
will earn the registrant $3 in commissions. This
commission payout structure covers the total available
commission payout available upon the recurring
service sales. SkyGuard reserves the right to
change this structure at any time. At its sole
distraction SkyGuard may decide to add more or
less commission levels and/or change the payout
amount on each level.
Reserve Account: In order to cover the losses
incurred by SkyGuard for refunds or chargeback's,
SkyGuard will maintain a reserve account for the
registrant in the amount of 10% of all commissions
earned and will hold these funds for a period
of 12 weeks. After these 12 weeks have passed
the amounts held in reserve that have not been
used to cover refunds or chargeback's will be
sent to the registrant as part of regular commissions.
SkyGuard reserves the right to change the terms
of this reserve account at any time or increase
the amount and length of this reserve for a particular
registrant based upon the history of the sales
they refer.
Refunds:
Refunds are given in accordance with SkyGuard's
refund policy, and if a refund is given to a customer
or a chargeback occurs on an order after which
a commission was already paid out on that customer;s
order, SkyGuard will deduct the earned commission
amount from the registrant's reserve account.
If this is not entirely covered by the reserve
account, the amount will also deduct against future
commissions earned. SkyGuard reserves the right
to pursue registrant for the return of any earned
commissions that were lost by SkyGuard due to
refunds or chargebacks and were not covered by
a reserve or future commissions. SkyGuard will
allow a period of two months for future commissions
to cover any losses not covered by the reserve
before SkyGuard may pursue registrant for the
return of commissions paid.
Payout
Time Frame: SkyGuard will pay all commissions
on a weekly basis. A week is considered to be
from Monday to Sunday. All commissions earned
during a week will be paid out two weeks following
the close of that week. SkyGuard will strive to
keep the payout day consistent but registrant
understands that for a variety of reasons this
may not be able to be accomplished and will therefore
vary. SkyGuard reserves the right to change the
payout time frame and frequency at any time and
for any reason.
Payout
Charge: Registrant agrees that SkyGuard will deduct
a $1 service fee from their due commissions for
processing of a commission payment. SkyGuard reserves
the right to adjust this fee should costs for
processing of commission payments change.
3.

that, during the term of this Agreement, SkyGuard
may, in its sole discretion, revise the Agreement

time to time) at any time. SkyGuard agrees to post

Registrant's acceptance of such revisions or changes,
and Registrant agrees to abide by and be bound by
any such revisions or changes. No employee, contractor,
agent or representative of SkyGuard is authorized
to alter or amend the terms and conditions of this
Agreement.
4.
AGENTS. Registrant agrees that if this Registration
Agreement is completed by an agent for Registrant,
such as an internet service provider, administrative
contact/agent, employee or other representative
of Registrant (each an "Agent"), Registrant is nonetheless
bound as a principal by all terms and conditions
herein. Registrant agrees that by continuing to
use the services of SkyGuard, Registrant shall be
deemed to have ratified any unauthorized actions
of Registrant's Agent. In addition, Registrant is
responsible for any errors made by Registrant's
Agent. SkyGuard shall not be obligated to refund
any fees paid by Registrant or Registrant's Agent
for any reason.
5.
INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. Each party under
this Registration Agreement is an independent contractor
and is not an employee or agent of the other. Nothing
in this Registration Agreement is intended to imply
or create a joint venture, partnership or principal-agent
relationship between Registrant and SkyGuard. Subject
to the foregoing, Registrant hereby agrees to abide
at all times by the established business policies,
rules and regulations of SkyGuard and to strictly
adhere to the laws, rules and regulations of any
governmental entity. Neither party shall have authority
to bind the other by any promise or representation.
6.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Registrant agrees
that SkyGuard shall have no liability to Registrant
for any and all loss Registrant may incur resulting

(6) errors, omissions or misstatements in any and
all information or services provided under this

enters into an agreement as a result of any promotion,
advertisement or sponsorship related to, or in connection
with, any service(s) of WebSite. Registrant agrees
that its sole and exclusive remedy with respect
to services provided pursuant to this Registration
Agreement and/or for any breach of this Registration
Agreement shall be limited to the lesser of (1)
the amount Registrant paid for such services or
(2) Fifty United States Dollars (US$50). Furthermore,
SkyGuard and its contractors and affiliates shall
not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental,
special or consequential damages, or for any loss
of revenue, profits or data, arising in connection
with this Registration Agreement. Because some states
do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability
for consequential or incidental damages, in such
states, SkyGuard's liability is limited to the extent
permitted by applicable law.
7.
INDEMNITY. Registrant agrees to release,
indemnify, and hold SkyGuard, and SkyGuard's contractors,
agents, employees, officers, directors, shareholders,
affiliates and assigns harmless from and against
all liabilities, claims, damages, costs and expenses,
including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses,
relating to or arising in connection with Registrant's
use of the services provided by SkyGuard, the actions
of any third party who Registrant works with in
connection with SkyGuard's services, or a third
party's use of SkyGuard's services from Registrant's
computer or in connection with Registrant's account.
If SkyGuard is threatened with suit or sued by a
third party, SkyGuard may seek written assurances
from Registrant concerning Registrant's promise
to indemnify SkyGuard. Registrant's failure to provide
those assurances may be considered by SkyGuard to
be a material breach of this Registration Agreement.
8.
BREACH. Registrant agrees that (1) Registrant's
failure to abide by any provision of this Registration
Agreement or the Terms of Use; (2) Registrant's
willful provision of inaccurate or unreliable information
as part of the application process; (3) Registrant's
willful misrepresentation of SkyGuard or SkyGuard's
services in Registrant's promotion of SkyGuard's
services to third parties; (4) Registrant's violation
of any copyright, trademark or other applicable
laws with respect to Registrant's representation
of SkyGuard; (5) Registrant's failure to update
Registrant's information to keep it current, complete
or accurate; (6) Registrant's failure to respond
for over ten (10) calendar days to inquiries from
SkyGuard concerning the accuracy of the contact
details associated with Registrant's use of SkyGuard's
services; or (7) The termination of Registrant's
subscription with SkyGuard for home monitoring protection
services and identity theft protection services;
shall be deemed by SkyGuard to be a material breach
by Registrant. SkyGuard may provide a written notice,
describing the breach, to Registrant. If, within
ten (10) calendar days of the date of mailing of
such notice, Registrant fails to provide evidence,
which is reasonably satisfactory to SkyGuard, that
it has not breached its obligations, then SkyGuard
may terminate Registrant's registration with SkyGuard,
all the services of SkyGuard that Registrant is
using, and all of Registrant's Marketing Commissions
without further notice. Any such breach by Registrant
shall not be deemed to be excused simply because
SkyGuard did not act earlier in response to that
breach, or any other breach, by Registrant. SkyGuard
shall not be obligated to refund any fees paid by
Registrant if SkyGuard terminates this Registration
Agreement. Registrant specifically acknowledges
that if SkyGuard terminates this Registration Agreement,
Registrant loses all ability to receive Marketing
Commissions as described in Section 2 of this Registration
Agreement.
