Without limiting the generality of Section 1.1.2, AFFILIATE (i) will not send any related email to any person or entity that has not requested such information; (ii) always include AFFILIATE's contact information and "unsubscribe" information in any related email; and (iii) does not imply that such emails are sent on behalf of VOLCANO RECRUIT POWER.

You may not claim that any government, person or entity endorses or supports VOLCANO RECRUIT POWER. You may not use the intellectual property of any other person or entity to advertise any VOLCANO RECRUIT POWER service or opportunity.

AFFILIATE will not purchase search engine keywords or other pay-per-click keywords (such as Google AdWords), trademarks or domain names that use the VOLCANO RECRUIT POWER Trademarks (as defined below) or any variation or misspelling thereof that may be deceptively or confusingly similar to the VOLCANO RECRUIT POWER Trademarks.

1.4. Guidelines
These guidelines are intended to increase transparency between endorsers and consumers. As a member of the AFFILIATE Program with VOLCANO RECRUIT POWER, the AFFILIATE receives compensation for AFFILIATEs made to VOLCANO RECRUIT POWER. This may establish a "material connection" of VOLCANO RECRUIT POWER to the applicable rules, which creates an obligation for the AFFILIATE to provide information to consumers.
Full compliance with these guidelines requires, among other things, that (a) AFFILIATE clearly and conspicuously discloses that AFFILIATE is being compensated for referring clients to VOLCANO RECRUIT POWER; and (b) AFFILIATE does not engage in misleading or deceptive advertising.
1.5. Other AFFILIATE Terms
AFFILIATE must have an active VOLCANO RECRUIT POWER customer account.
If AFFILIATE is an individual, you must be at least (i) 18 years of age; or (ii) at least the age of majority in the jurisdiction where you reside and from which you conduct AFFILIATE's business.
You confirm that you become an AFFILIATE for the purpose of conducting a business and not for any personal, domestic or family purposes.
To become an AFFILIATE, AFFILIATE must create an AFFILIATE Account by providing all of the information indicated as required. VOLCANO RECRUIT POWER may reject an AFFILIATE Account application for any reason, at its sole discretion. Partner acknowledges that VOLCANO RECRUIT POWER will use the email address provided by Partner as its primary method of communication. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your AFFILIATE account password. VOLCANO RECRUIT POWER cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from AFFILIATE's failure to maintain the security of the AFFILIATE Account and password.
Partner acknowledges and agrees that Partner shall be responsible for the performance of all of its obligations under the Policy, regardless of whether it sublicenses or subcontracts such obligations to a third party, including, and without limitation, AFFILIATE's AFFILIATE or subsidiaries.
Partner will promptly inform VOLCANO RECRUIT POWER of any information known to Partner that could reasonably lead to a claim, demand or liability by or against VOLCANO RECRUIT POWER by a third party.
AFFILIATE acknowledges and agrees that VOLCANO RECRUIT POWER may modify this Policy at any time by posting the amended and updated AFFILIATE Program Policy on the VOLCANO RECRUIT POWER website, and such modifications to the Policy are effective as of the date of posting. If a significant change is made, VOLCANO RECRUIT POWER will provide reasonable notice by email. Continued use of the website constitutes acceptance of the AFFILIATE's Policy and its posted modifications. If AFFILIATE does not agree to the changes to the Policy, AFFILIATE must terminate the Policy by discontinuing participation in the VOLCANO RECRUIT POWER AFFILIATE Program.
AFFILIATE acknowledges and agrees that AFFILIATE's participation in the VOLCANO RECRUIT POWER AFFILIATE Program, including information transmitted to or stored by VOLCANO RECRUIT POWER, is governed by the VOLCANO RECRUIT POWER Privacy Policy.

2.1. Payment of Fees
Once accepted into the AFFILIATE Program, you will be assigned one or more unique AFFILIATE URL(s) that you will use to advertise VOLCANO RECRUIT POWER's services. When another person (a "Prospect") clicks on that URL, a cookie (or similar tracking technology ("Cookie")) will be set on the Prospect's browser. When a Prospect creates a VOLCANO RECRUIT POWER account using your AFFILIATE's URL, the Cookie on the Prospect's browser, corresponding to your unique URL, records a "Sale", and each such account is a "Sold Account". In the event a Prospect has multiple AFFILIATE Cookies, the most recently acquired Cookie will determine which AFFILIATE is credited with a Sale.
Subject to AFFILIATE's compliance with this Policy, you will be entitled to an AFFILIATE fee for each Account sold that generates a monthly or annual payment from VOLCANO RECRUIT POWER. The amount of the AFFILIATE Fee is a percentage of all fees received by VOLCANO RECRUIT POWER for a sold Account (the "AFFILIATE Fees") for as long as the AFFILIATE VOLCANO RECRUIT POWER Account is active. Payments of any AFFILIATE Fees will be made on the 30th day of each month following receipt of such payments by VOLCANO RECRUIT POWER.
AFFILIATE Fees are paid only for transactions that actually occur between VOLCANO RECRUIT POWER and a potential client. If the transaction does not actually take place, or if VOLCANO RECRUIT POWER does not actually receive payment for a Sale, you will not be paid an AFFILIATE Fee for the transaction. If an AFFILIATE is not linked or attached to Your AFFILIATE account within 30 days after such AFFILIATE is subscribed to VOLCANO RECRUIT POWER, such AFFILIATE will not be considered Your Account sold and you will not be entitled to any AFFILIATE Fee from such sale. In order for an Account to link to Your AFFILIATE Account, an AFFILIATE must use Your AFFILIATE link directly or contact info@volcanorecruitpower.com within the first 30 days to request linking. If payment for a sold Account later results in a refund or chargeback, and if an AFFILIATE Fee was paid to you for payment of that sold Account, then the AFFILIATE Fee will be deducted from any future AFFILIATE Fee. If VOLCANO RECRUIT POWER determines, in its reasonable discretion, that any Sale was made fraudulently or as a result of any violation of this Policy, in addition to VOLCANO RECRUIT POWER pursuant to Section 3.1, no AFFILIATE Fees will be paid to you for such Sale, or if VOLCANO RECRUIT POWER discovers such violation or fraud after payment, such amounts will be deducted from any future AFFILIATE Fees. A AFFILIATE may request at any time to be removed from your AFFILIATE account and, upon such request, you will no longer be entitled to receive any AFFILIATE Fees for such AFFILIATE.
2.2. AFFILIATE Representations; Taxes
AFFILIATE hereby represents and warrants to VOLCANO RECRUIT POWER that you are engaged in an independent business enterprise and that you have complied with all business requirements necessary to operate AFFILIATE's business, if applicable, such as licensing, tax and other business operation requirements
You are responsible for any and all tax liabilities, including, without limitation, tax liabilities arising out of or relating in any way to the AFFILIATE Fees You receive from VOLCANO RECRUIT POWER. Where VOLCANO RECRUIT POWER is required to withhold taxes, VOLCANO RECRUIT POWER will document such withholding.
2.3. Inventory Charge/Refunds
Partner will not be paid any AFFILIATE fees for payments made to its own user account(s). You may not open a VOLCANO RECRUIT POWER account in the name of another person or entity, or under a fictitious name. You may not open a VOLCANO RECRUIT POWER account under any name simply for the purpose of obtaining AFFILIATE fees or any other compensation, including but not limited to incentives or prizes that may be offered from time to time. You may not pay for another person's account. AFFILIATE is not authorized to offer cash rebates or other monetary incentives to actual or potential Sales. Violation of this paragraph shall constitute a material breach of this Policy, and you agree to pay VOLCANO RECRUIT POWER all AFFILIATE Fees earned as a result of such violation.
Termination
Unless otherwise specified in the Policy, either Party may terminate the AFFILIATE Program at any time, with or without cause, effective immediately upon notice to the other Party.
Fraudulent or other unacceptable behavior by AFFILIATE, including breach of any VOLCANO RECRUIT POWER Policy, as determined by VOLCANO RECRUIT POWER in its sole discretion, may result in VOLCANO RECRUIT POWER taking one or more of the following actions: (a) termination of Your affiliation with VOLCANO RECRUIT POWER in its entirety and termination of all services provided to You; (b) suspension of some or all of Your privileges under the AFFILIATE Program; and/or (c) termination of Your AFFILIATE account entirely without notice or recourse to You, in which case You will forfeit all AFFILIATE fees owed to You, either as of the date of termination or accruing thereafter.
At any time your VOLCANO RECRUIT POWER client account is terminated or suspended by either Party, AFFILIATE's participation in the AFFILIATE Program will automatically terminate and AFFILIATE will no longer be entitled to any further AFFILIATE Fees. If AFFILIATE later activates a VOLCANO RECRUIT POWER customer account, AFFILIATE will be entitled to apply to participate in the AFFILIATE Program and earn AFFILIATE Fees on any new Account sold. For clarity purposes, AFFILIATE will forfeit all AFFILIATE Fees on its Accounts sold prior to such termination.
