Your breach of any of the terms of this Agreement, or any other agreement between you and us, or in connection with the Program (e.g. the PayPal User Agreement, Google Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, etc.) then, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to us, we reserve the right to permanently (to the extent permitted by applicable law) withhold (and you agree you will not be eligible to receive) any and all Commissions otherwise payable to you under this Agreement, whether or not directly related to such violation without notice and without prejudice to any right of SEAMONKEY APPAREL to recover damages in excess of this amount.

III. Commissions on Qualifying Purchases

We will pay you a commission with a base amount of no less than 10% of the net price paid by the customer and actually received by SEAMONKEY APPAREL, after discounts, taxes and shipping costs, on all Qualifying Purchases (your “Commission”). A “Qualifying Purchase”occurs when (i) a customer uses your Code to purchase eligible goods from the SEAMONKEY APPAREL Site; (ii) the customer’s payment is successfully processed.
For example, if a customer uses your Code to make a purchase of $100.00 and your Code provides the customer with a 15% discount, then once SEAMONKEY APPAREL receives that customer’s payment of $85.00 ($100.00 less the 15% discount of $15), you will be eligible to receive a 10% commission in the amount of $8.50.
From time to time, we may incentivize our Brand Ambassadors by offering increased commission rates for particular periods of time. For example, we may notify you that for a period of time all Brand Ambassadors will earn a 20% Commission on Qualifying Purchases.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, SEAMONKEY APPAREL reserves the right to increase or decrease commission rates at any time and for any reason in its sole discretion.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Qualifying Purchases are disqualified and no Commission shall be due whenever (a) they occur in connection with a violation of this Agreement, or any other terms, conditions, specifications, statements, and policies that we may issue from time to time that apply to the Program; (b) any purchases that occur after termination of your Agreement; (c) any order where a cancellation, return, or refund has been initiated; (d) any purchase by a customer who is referred to the SEAMONKEY APPAREL Site through any advertisement that you purchased through participation in bidding or auctions on keywords, search terms, or other identifiers that include or are substantially similar to any of the following terms “SEAMONKEY APPAREL”, “SEAMONKEY”, “SEAMONKEY TEES”, “SEAMONKEY TANKS”, “SEAMONKEY ACCESSORIES”, “SEAMONKEY CLOTHING”, “SEAMONKEY UPF” or any other SEAMONKEY APPAREL trademark (or variations or misspellings of any of those terms, (e) any purchase by a customer who is referred to the SEAMONKEY APPAREL Site by a link that is generated or displayed on a search engine (including Google, Yahoo, Bing, or any other search portal, sponsored advertising service, or other search or referral service, or any site that participates in such search engine’s network); (f) any purchase by a customer who is referred to the SEAMONKEY APPAREL Site by a link that sends users indirectly to the SEAMONKEY APPAREL Site via an intermediate site, without requiring the customer to click on a link or take some other affirmative action on that intermediate site; (f) any purchase by a customer, where such customer does not comply with the terms and conditions applicable to the SEAMONKEY APPAREL Site; or (g) any purchase that is not correctly tracked or reported because your Code is not properly formatted or inserted in the SEAMONKEY APPAREL Site’s checkout process.
We will use commercially reasonable efforts to accurately and comprehensively track Qualifying Purchases for the purposes of our internal tracking, and creating and distributing Commissions. We may hold accrued Commissions for a reasonable period of time following any termination of this Agreement to ensure that the correct amount is paid.
We will pay Commissions in United States Dollars via PayPal approximately thirty (30) days following the end of each calendar month in which they were earned. You are not permitted to elect to receive payment in a currency other than United States Dollars. You are solely responsible for any PayPal fees, and any and all taxes. We are not responsible for any Commissions that are not received by you due to any suspension or termination of your PayPal account.
Payments made to you, as reduced by all deductions or withholdings described in the Agreement, will constitute full payment and settlement to you of amounts payable under the Agreement.
If any excess payment has been made to you for any reason whatsoever, we reserve the right to adjust or offset the same against any subsequent fees payable to you under the Agreement or any other agreement between you and us.
Taxes - We may deduct or withhold any taxes that we may be legally obligated to deduct or withhold from any amounts payable to you under this Agreement. From time to time, we may request tax information from you. If we request tax information from you and you do not provide it to us, we reserve the right (in addition to any other rights or remedies available to us) to hold any amounts otherwise payable to you in connection with the Program until you provide this information or otherwise satisfy us that no further information is needed.

XII. AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE / DISPUTE RESOLUTION

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY HEAR YOUR CLAIMS. IT CONTAINS PROCEDURES FOR MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER.

b. YOU AND WE AGREE TO ATTEMPT TO INFORMALLY RESOLVE DISPUTES: In the event that there is any dispute relating to this Agreement and the Program, you and we both agree that the party alleging the dispute shall send to the other party a written notice describing the dispute (“Notice of Dispute”). You and we both agree that prior to initiating any claim for arbitration or other legal proceeding, that you and we shall attempt to informally resolve such dispute for a period of thirty (30) days following the receipt by the non-claiming party of the Notice of Dispute.

c. All Notices of Dispute to SEAMONKEY APPAREL shall be in writing and sent by personal delivery registered or certified mail (return receipt requested) or overnight air express (or courier shipment outside of the U.S.) if such services actually provide proof of mailing, to:

SEAMONKEY BRAND AND APPAREL COMPANY LLC
3547 53^rd Avenue W
#179
Bradenton, FL 34210
With a mandatory copy to: seamonkey.tribe@gmail.com

d. YOU AND WE BOTH AGREE TO ARBITRATE: In the event that a dispute is not resolved within the foregoing thirty (30) day period, then you and SEAMONKEY APPAREL agree to resolve any claims relating to this Agreement through final and binding, arbitration.

e. WHAT IS ARBITRATION? Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court and seeks to resolve disputes more quickly. Instead of a judge or a jury, the case will be decided by a neutral arbitrator who has the power to award the same damages and relief that a court can. If any provision of this Section XII is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision shall be severed, and the remaining arbitration terms shall be enforced.

f. ARBITRATION PROCEDURES: Arbitration shall be initiated through JAMS. Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating hereto shall be referred to and finally determined by arbitration in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures in front of one arbitrator. If there is a conflict between JAMS Rules and the rules set forth in this Agreement, the rules set forth in this Agreement will govern.

g. The JAMS Rules and instructions for how to initiate an arbitration are available from JAMS at http://www.jamsadr.com. To initiate arbitration, you or SEAMONKEY APPAREL must do the following:
Write a demand for Arbitration. The demand must include a description of the claim and the amount of damages sought to be recovered. You can find a copy of a "Demand for Arbitration" at www.jamsadr.com;

ii. Send three copies of the "Demand for Arbitration", plus the appropriate filing fee to your local JAMS office or to JAMS, 2500 N. Military Trail.; Suite 200, Boca Raton, FL 33431; and

iii. Send one copy of the "Demand for Arbitration" to the other party.
Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the JAMS Rules. Each party will bear their own costs of arbitration unless the arbitrator directs that bearing such costs would be an undue burden and, in that case, we will pay for your portion of the arbitration administrative costs (but not your attorneys’ fees). Arbitration shall be held in the United States in Bradenton, Florida under Florida law without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. If traveling to Bradenton, Florida is a burden, you may participate in the arbitration by phone or via document submission to the fullest extent allowable by the arbitrator. The arbitration may award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive relief). Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
AUTHORITY OF ARBITRATOR: Any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate, shall be determined by arbitration in Bradenton, Florida before one arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the Arbitration Rules, and this Agreement. The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding.
NO CLASS ACTIONS: You may only resolve disputes with us on an individual basis, and may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action. Class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations are not allowed.

k. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL: THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY, instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient and less costly than rules applicable in court and are subject to very limited review by a court. In the event any litigation should arise between you and SEAMONKEY APPAREL in any state or federal court in a suit to vacate or enforce an arbitration award or otherwise, YOU AND WE WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, instead electing that the dispute be resolved by a judge. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT YOU MAY CONSULT WITH AN ATTORNEY IN DECIDING TO ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE.

l. CHOICE OF LAW/FORUM SELECTION: In any circumstances where this Section XII (Agreement to Arbitrate Disputes and Choice of Law) permits the parties to litigate in court, this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, excluding its conflict of law rules. You further expressly consent and agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of a court of competent jurisdiction located in the Southwestern District of Florida.

m. STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS: You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to the Program or this Agreement, including without limitation, access and/or use of the SEAMONKEY APPAREL Site and/or Service Offerings must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.
