These terms and conditions represent the whole agreement and understanding between Think Tank Photo and the individual or entity that participates in the Affiliate Program (the \"Affiliate,\" or \"you\").

    Please read this agreement carefully as it represents a legally binding agreement between you and Think Tank Photo. By submitting your application and/or by your continued use of the Affiliate Program, you agree to comply with all of the terms and conditions set out in this Affiliate Agreement. The Affiliate Agreement will terminate as stated in Section 6 below.

    2. Eligibility

    Affiliate applicant must be active in the photography industry as a professional or amateur photographer/videographer, instructor, student, camera club director, photo or video salesperson, or similar. Photographers who shoot pornography or content involving illegal activities will be ineligible from the Affiliate program.

    3. Referral Tracking

    Think Tank Photo will provide the Affiliate with specific referral links (the “Referral Links”) in order to link advertisements and other marketing content to Think Tank Photo. Think Tank Photo will track users who have visited these Referral Links using cookies which will expire 365 days after the link has been distributed. Only users who make a purchase while the cookie is active will be considered referrals of the Affiliate and recorded as such on the Affiliate online dashboard.

    The Affiliate is not authorized to modify or alter the Referral Links or the cookies in any way. Think Tank Photo is not responsible for any tracking or reporting errors that may result from any modifications to the Referral Link or the cookies.

    4. Affiliate Commissions and Payouts

    A referral will become eligible for payout (\"Eligible Referral\") at the end of the next calendar month if it meets all of these criteria:

    • the referral makes a purchase of a new Think Tank product, and
    • the referral\'s account has not had any of its payments refunded, charged back or otherwise reversed.

    All web page error requests (such as 403 errors or 404 errors) will direct traffic to a default Think Tank Photo error page. This error page informs visitors that the web page they are looking for cannot be found, and may include, but without limitation to, the following:

    • links to additional products and services offered by Think Tank Photo, and/or
    • an Internet search engine interface.

    The Affiliate is entitled to receive a percentage of each sale (as outlined in the specific program each Affiliate qualifies for) in United States Dollars for each active Eligible Referral that is recorded in the Affiliate online dashboard (\"Affiliate Commissions\").

    All Affiliate Fee payments will be payable in United States Dollars only, except as otherwise determined by Think Tank Photo in its sole discretion. Payment will be made by check or through PayPal three times per calendar year in May, September, and January.

    For Affiliates opting for Commissions to be payable by PayPal outstanding Commissions will be paid three times per year in May, September, and January regardless of the amount of outstanding Commission balance that is owed.

    For Affiliates opting for Commissions to be payable by check outstanding Commissions will be paid only when the Affiliate has at least $20.00 USD in eligible referral Commissions that are pending payout. Affiliates opting for Commissions to be payable by check who have earned $19.99 USD or less by December 31st of each calendar year will have their outstanding Commission balance paid in full in January of the following calendar year.

This is in direct competition with Think Tank Photo’s own marketing activities. Any violations will result in an initial one-time warning, and then termination from the Affiliate program upon subsequent offenses.

    Think Tank Photo may, without prior notice and in its sole discretion, require the Affiliate to remove or modify any advertisements associated with Think Tank Photo or MindShift trademarks or products.
