Digital Elite Network. (“DEN”) operates the sales platform located at DigitalEliteNetwork.io (the “Sales Platform”), which enables consumers to purchase software, services, or other goods (collectively, “Products”) from DEN and the owners or manufacturers of Products made available to consumers through the Sales Platform (“Vendors”). The Sales Platform also enables third-party advertisers (“Affiliates”) to promote Products on behalf of DEN and Vendors. The program whereby Affiliates promote Products is referenced herein as the “Affiliate Program”.
The following General Terms and Conditions (the “GTC” or “Agreement”) is a binding agreement between DEN and its Vendors and Affiliates (collectively referred to hereinafter as “Contractual Partner” unless otherwise stated). By submitting an application, accessing, or using the Sales Platform, Contractual Partner confirms that it has read the Agreement and expressly consents to all the terms and conditions contained herein and any additional terms and conditions specified on the Sales Platform.
This Agreement shall commence on the date that Contractual Partner submits an application and DEN accepts such application. Contractual Partner must accurately complete the application to become an Affiliate or Vendor, as applicable. DEN may accept or reject applications at its sole discretion for any or no reason. DEN may, in its sole and absolute discretion, terminate its relationship with Contractual Partner and revoke access to the Sales Platform and/or Affiliate Program for any reason or no reason, with or without notice. Contractual Partner may terminate this Agreement upon 30 days’ written notice to DEN.
In the event this Agreement is terminated by either party, Contractual Partner shall immediately cease using DigitalElitenetwork.io’s Sales Platform and any related services, cease using any DEN links or order forms, cease any Promotions as defined in Section V, and return or destroy all of DEN’s Confidential Information, as defined by Section VII. Within 30 days of termination, Contractual Partner shall provide written certification that Contractual Partner has returned or destroyed DEN’s Confidential Information.
Upon termination, Contractual Partner shall no longer be entitled to compensation of any kind. Except as provided in this section, DEN will pay any unpaid Vendor Payments (as defined in Section IV(E)), Affiliate Commissions (as defined in Section V(B)), or other kinds of payments in accordance with this Agreement.
In the event that a Contractual Partner breaches this Agreement, or if DEN suspects that Contractual Partner has breached this Agreement, Contractual Partner shall forfeit any unpaid Vendor Payments (as defined in Section IV(E)), Affiliate Commissions (as defined in Section V(B)), or other kinds of payments otherwise due by DEN. Alternatively, DEN, in its sole discretion, may elect to withhold unpaid Vendor Payments and Affiliate Commissions, or deduct the amount of previously paid Affiliate Commissions and Vendor Payments to Contractual Partner from future payments due to Contractual Partner (collectively, the “Withholding”) if: (1) DEN suspects or determines, in its sole discretion, that Contractual Partner has breached this Agreement or violated any applicable law, rule, or regulation; (2) DEN receives any complaints about Contractual Partner which DEN reasonably believes to indicate Contractual Partner breached this Agreement or violated any applicable law, rule, or regulation; or (3) DEN determines, in its sole discretion, that DEN paid Contractual Partner Affiliate Commissions or Vendor Payments as a result of Contractual Partner’s breach of this Agreement or violation of any applicable law, rule, or regulation. The Withholding shall be used to offset DEN’s actual or potential losses and liabilities, including but not limited to DEN’s attorneys’ fees and costs, as a result of Contractual Partner’s breach of this Agreement. The Withholding is in addition to any other rights and remedies in law or equity that DEN may have as a result of Contractual Partner’s breach of this Agreement.
Vendor represents and warrants that:
Vendor shall notify DEN of any complaint received by Vendor regarding any Product, Promotion, or advertisement used in connection with Vendor’s Products within twenty-four hours of receiving such complaint.

´
Phone and Text Message Advertising.
Contractual Partner shall not send or use text messages or telephone calls, SMS, MMS messages (including any telephone calls using prerecorded voice or sending “ringless voicemails”) unless DEN provides its prior express written permission, in which case Contractual Partner shall comply with each of the following requirements:
Contractual Partner shall comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, ordinances, rules, regulations and codes concerning telemarketing and text message marketing, including but not limited to including, but not limited to the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (47 C.F.R. § 227) (“TCPA”), the Telemarketing and Consumer Fraud and Abuse Prevention Act (15 U.S.C. §§ 6101-6108), the Telemarketing Sales Rule (16 C.F.R. Part 310), Federal Communications Commission rules implementing the TCPA and court decisions interpreting the TCPA, and all federal and state “Do Not Call” laws, rules, and requirements.
Contractual Partner shall maintain an internal “Do Not Call” list of consumers who have requested not to receive telephone solicitations from or on behalf of Contractual Partner and shall not make any outbound calls or send outbound text messages to any telephone numbers or consumers listed on Contractual Partner’s internal “Do Not Call” list. Contractual Partner shall inform DEN immediately, but in no less than 24 hours, after receiving any “do not call” request from a consumer or revocation of consent to receive telephone calls or text messages concerning DEN, its products, or the services hereunder.
Endorsements and Testimonials.
Vendors are prohibited from using an Endorsement or Testimonial to advertise Vendor’s products under this Agreement, unless DEN has given prior express written consent. Affiliates may not use an Endorsement or Testimonial, unless DEN has received, reviewed and provided express, prior written consent to such advertising. “Endorsement” or “Testimonial” (collectively “Testimonial”) means any advertising message (including but not limited to consumer testimonials, celebrity or expert endorsements, blogs, verbal statements, demonstrations, or depictions of the name, signature, likeness or other identifying personal characteristics of an individual or the name, logo or seal of an organization) that consumers are likely to believe reflects the opinions, beliefs, findings, or experience of a party other than Advertiser. This restriction includes the following:
Contractual Partner shall not use any Testimonial unless such Testimonial complies with the Federal Trade Commission’s Revised Endorsements and Testimonials Guides (16 CFR Part 255 of the Code of Federal Regulations).
Vendor must create an account and submit an application to access the Sales Platform. By creating an account, you warrant that the information provided is truthful and accurate and that Vendor is not misrepresenting their identity. DEN will review Vendor’s information and may, in its sole discretion, determine whether to allow Vendor to access the Sales Platform. Vendor is responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any credentials used to access Vendor’s account, and Vendor agrees not to transfer Vendor’s password or username, or lend or otherwise transfer Vendor’s use of or access to Vendor’s account to any third party. Vendor is fully responsible for all transactions with, and information conveyed to, DEN under Vendor’s account. Vendor agrees to immediately notify DEN of any unauthorized use of Vendor’s credentials or any other breach of security related to Vendor’s account. Vendor agrees that DEN is not liable, and Vendor will hold DEN harmless, for any loss or damage arising from Vendor’s failure to comply with any of the foregoing obligations. Please see Section VIII below for additional information regarding Vendor’s indemnification obligations.
Upon creating an account, Vendor will be able to set up and register individual Products for sale using the Sales Platform. Instructions for product setup can be found on DEN’s website. Vendor authorizes DEN to list all products registered by the Vendor for sale via the Sales Platform in a searchable online product marketplace operated by DEN and to offer them for sale to buyers.
At any time, DEN may, at its own discretion, for any or no reason, with or without notice to the Vendor and without warranty for contractual penalties or liability claims, delete and remove products from the Sales Platform marketplace.
DEN will provide Vendor a link that Vendor may integrate into its sales page (“Link”). End consumers who view Vendor’s sales page and choose to purchase the Product will be directed to the Sales Platform to complete the order. If a consumer completes an order on the Sales Platform, DEN will purchase the corresponding Product from Vendor. DEN will then sell the Product directly to the consumer. Upon completion of the order, DEN will notify Vendor of the consumer’s order via email, API, or some other mutually agreeable method. DEN will pay Vendor directly for the product, as discussed in Section (IV)(D). DEN’s fee for any product sales will be reflected in the Sales Platform, and expressly incorporated into this Agreement.
Vendor shall fulfill the order submitted by the consumer and send the Product directly to the consumer. Vendor shall deliver the Product in accordance with the shipping method selected by the consumer. Vendor is not permitted to substitute the ordered product unless Vendor received DEN’s prior written consent. All order forms, receipts, and order confirmation forms shall reflect that the consumer purchased the product directly from DEN. For the avoidance of any doubt, the consumer’s contract to Purchase the product shall be between DEN and the consumer.
In addition to Vendor’s obligations under Section(II)(A) and Section (III) of this Agreement, vendor shall:
Vendor shall fulfill all incentives or promotions Vendor promises to Affiliates. Vendor shall forgo incentives or promotions for Affiliates without an express statement that they are exclusively provided by the Vendor and not by DEN.
Vendor Payments.
Vendor shall specify a non-binding price recommendation for the net sales price of each Product. Once an end consumer completes a purchase of the corresponding Product, DEN shall pay Vendor an amount based on the non-binding price recommendation, plus tax due for the specific sale to the end customer (“Sales Price”), less a margin for DEN pursuant to the then-current DEN price list or separate agreement with the Vendor in relation to a specific Product (“Vendor Payments”).
Vendor Payments shall be issued to Vendor via the payment method specified at the time of creating an account. Vendor Payments shall be issued within 60 days of the end-consumer’s purchase date, or in the time period specified on the Sales Platform or otherwise agreed to by the Parties. Without limiting the foregoing, DEN reserves the right to extend the period in which it issues refunds to and accepts returns from end-consumers, up to 365 days after the date of purchase, in which case Vendor shall not receive Vendor Payments until such refunds and returns are processed by DEN.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or on the Sales Platform to the contrary, DEN expressly reserves the right withhold a percentage of Vendor Payments for an additional time period to account for potential or anticipated end-consumer chargebacks, refunds, and returns. DEN reserves the right to extend the time for disbursement of Vendor Payments if DEN considers the quantities of a Product sold are low in relation to the Product price. DEN shall issue Vendor Payments only after a minimum Vendor Payment amount of $50.00 is met. In the event that this minimum amount is not reached, DEN shall withhold Vendor Payments until the minimum amount is reached. Except as otherwise set forth herein, in the event that this Agreement is terminated prior to reaching the minimum amount, a payment shall be made even if the Vendor Payments accrued are less than $50.00, subject to the withholding period specified herein.
In the event that an end-consumer requests a return or refund or initiates a chargeback for the Product, DEN shall deduct the corresponding amount, including a transaction and chargeback fee, from Vendor Payments for such returns, refunds, or chargebacks. DEN reserves the right to withhold Vendor Payments in whole or in part if it suspects that Contractual Partner has violated this Agreement, or any applicable law, rule, or regulation, or if Vendor’s Products are suspected or deemed to be defective, or if Vendor offers insufficient Product access or support, as determined by DEN in its sole discretion.
Affiliates may advertise a product and thus promote sales of such product (engage in “Promotions”) as part of the Affiliate Program. For such activities, the Affiliate will receive a commission from DEN (“Commission”) that is specified for the promoted Product on the Sales Platform.
DEN may provide Links that Affiliate may use to promote the Products. Vendors may make available to Affiliate graphic and textual links and other creative materials such as text ads, graphic ads, video ads, from and subject lines, and copy associated with the Promotion that Affiliate may display on websites owned or controlled by Affiliate, in emails sent by Affiliate, and in Affiliate’s online advertisements. DEN may, in its sole and absolute discretion, terminate or change any Promotion, and deactivate, change or remove any Link for any or no reason.
Affiliate shall discontinue use and dissemination of the Promotion and Link immediately upon DEN’s request.
The Commission paid to Affiliate shall be specified on the Sales Platform for the corresponding Products and Promotions. Affiliate’s Commission is based on the Product to be marketed and will be agreed upon individually and may be calculated on the basis of the Sales Price. With the exception of Promotions designated as “Cost Per Action,” if an end-consumer returns, requests a refund, or initiates a chargeback for a Product, DEN shall deduct the corresponding amount from Affiliate’s Commission. With the exception of Promotions designated as “Cost Per Action,” if a chargeback, refund, or return is initiated after the corresponding Commission has been paid to Affiliate, DEN reserves the right to deduct such amount from future Commissions to Affiliate. Affiliate shall not receive a Commission if an Affiliate is also a Vendor and buys its own Product.
Contractual Partner represents and warrants that it shall not use sub-affiliates, third party affiliates, or its own network, each a “Third-Party Affiliate” for purposes of this Agreement, without DEN’s prior written consent. Without limiting the foregoing, Contractual Partner shall not broker Promotions to any Third-Party Affiliate, or to any directly enrolled affiliates, without DEN’s prior written permission. If DEN permits Contractual Partner to engage its affiliate network (the “Network”) to provide services hereunder (including placing Promotions for access and use by affiliates in the Network) then the provisions set forth below apply.
Pursuant to these terms and conditions, DEN grants the Contractual Partner a non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, revocable license entitling the Contractual Partner to use the Sales Platform, including the web server, computers, and networks available at DEN , used to make such website available for purposes set out in this Agreement, solely for the purpose of providing the Product to end-consumers. All rights not granted herein are reserved. Contractual Partner is not permitted to, and shall not, use the name, trademarks, service marks, or other rights to intellectual property belonging to DEN in any form that creates the impression of being a part of or approved by DEN without the express, advance, and written consent of DEN. Any authorization granted by DEN may be revoked at any time, for any reason. DEN grants the Contractual Partner limited, revocable authorization to use the name “DEN” and “digitalelitenetwork.com” exclusively as a watermark; in a descriptive text on a website as a key word; as a search term; as a seeding element for a web search engine; in metatext or in a hidden text; as a sub-domain or domain name at a secondary or tertiary level; and to identify products or in connection to advertisement.
Vendor grants DEN a non-exclusive, irrevocable, sublicensable, worldwide right to use and exploit the Product and corresponding advertising material in a comprehensive manner, in particular for the purpose of commercial marketing. This grant expressly includes all forms of offering and promoting the products online, in particular the inclusion in fee-based or free online services, price search engines, blogs, and websites. To the extent the Product is a digital product, Vendor further grants DEN the following additional rights of use: authorization to permit the end customer to permanently store the Product; the right of duplication, making publicly accessible and dissemination, i.e. the right to duplicate, make publicly available or publicly perform the Product with the aid of any available technical capabilities, in particular by means of digital integration into a website operated by DEN; the right to make available on demand, i.e. the right to store the Product, to hold it ready for public access, to transfer it to one or more persons who seek access and to analogue or digital electronic databases, electronic data networks, and telecommunications services networks; the right to public performance; and the right to modify the Product itself or have it modified by third parties subject to preservation of author’s rights, to edit the Product, in particular for purposes of integrating the Product into the Sales Platform. In connection with the performance of this contract, Vendor grants DEN the right to use the respective title of the Products as well as names, logos, images, trademarks, and business designations both of the Vendor and author of the Product including expressly for promotional purposes. Without limiting the foregoing, Vendor grants DEN the right to sub-licenses the rights granted herein.
The Contractual Partner may be granted access to DEN’s confidential information (“Confidential Information”) as part of this Agreement. Confidential Information shall include, but not be limited to: the identity of other contractual partners, information about buyers, information about physical security and data security, technical data, DEN marketplace statistics and sales data, know-how, information about business processes, methods and marketing strategies, the existence and terms of this Agreement, DEN’s business and financial information, data reports, research, product plans, email mailing lists, marketing plans, software developments, inventions, processes, designs, drawings, hardware configuration information, marketing or financial data customer and vendor lists, and pricing and sales information. Such Confidential Information shall also include DEN’s trade secrets. Except as necessary to satisfy its obligations under this Agreement, Contractual Partner may not use or disclose Confidential Information to third parties without the prior express written consent of DEN. Contractual Partner shall not disclose to any third party, or permit any other person or entity access to, the Confidential Information except as required by an employee, agent, officer, director, partner, or representative of Contractual Partner to perform its obligations under this Agreement. Contractual Partner shall use at least the same degree of care, but not less than reasonable care, to prevent disclosure of Confidential Information to third parties. Confidential Information may not be used to divert, advertise to, or market to DEN customers with regard to products or services that directly or indirectly compete against DEN or DEN services including the function of the marketplace.
Contractual Partner shall immediately notify DEN in writing of all circumstances surrounding any unauthorized possession, use, access, knowledge, or disclosure of Confidential Information. If Confidential Information is required to be disclosed by operation of law via a third party or court request, such as a subpoena requesting Contractual Partner to disclose such information, Contractual Partner shall immediately inform DEN in writing sufficiently in advance of disclosure to allow DEN to challenge disclosure, prior to the time commanded to produce or disclose such Confidential Information. Contractual Partner agrees to cooperate in whatever way DEN requests to attempt to protect Confidential Information from disclosure by operation of law. Contractual Partner agrees that its obligations in this section are necessary and reasonable in order to protect DEN and its business, and Contractual Partner agrees that the remedy of damages would be inadequate to compensate DEN for any breach by Contractual Partner of its obligations set out under this section. Accordingly, in addition to any other remedies that might be available, DEN shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief against the threatened breach of this Agreement or the continuation of any such breach by Contractual Partner, without limiting any other rights and remedies to which DEN may be entitled.
“Confidential Information” does not include suggestions, submissions, comments, ideas, concepts, informational materials and feedback (“Feedback”) sent to DEN by the Contractual Partner. Contractual Partner grants DEN and the licensees a global, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, royalty-free, and transferable license, which may be sub-licensed, to reproduce, present publicly, to distribute, perform, broadcast, edit, modify, alter and publish, as well as for the sale, commercial use, exploitation, and disclosure of such information for any purpose and in any form in any currently known media. By transmitting any Feedback to DEN, Contractual Partner represents and warrants that such Feedback does not infringe or violate the intellectual property or proprietary rights of any third party (including, without limitation, patents, copyrights, or trademark rights) and that Contractual Partner has all rights necessary to convey to DEN and enable DEN to use such Feedback.
Vendor shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other DEN and its subsidiaries, affiliates, partners, and licensors, directors, officers, employees, shareholders, managers, successors, owners, related companies, agents, and assigns against any and all actions, claims, demands, proceedings, liabilities, damages, judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, costs, and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and related costs (collectively “Claims”), that: (a) arise from the act(s) or omission(s) of the Vendor, Affiliate, Third Party Affiliate, or any other third party; or (b) arise from or are related to breach or non-compliance of this Agreement by Vendor, Affiliate, Third Party Affiliate, or any other third party. If any Claim is or shall be brought against DEN, in respect to any allegation for which indemnity may be sought from Vendor, DEN shall notify Vendor of any such Claim of which it becomes aware. Vendor shall provide reasonable cooperation, at Vendor’s expense, in connection with the defense or settlement of any such Claim. DEN shall be entitled to participate in the defense or settlement of any Claim, including Vendor’s selection of legal counsel. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, DEN may select legal counsel to represent it in any matter for which Vendor is obligated to indemnify DEN, and Vendor shall pay all of DEN’s legal fees, expenses, and costs related to the defense of any Claim. Vendor shall not agree to any judgment or enter into any settlement of a Claim without DEN’s prior written consent.
Affiliate shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other DEN and its subsidiaries, affiliates, partners, and licensors, directors, officers, employees, shareholders, managers, successors, owners, related companies, agents, and assigns against any and all actions, claims, demands, proceedings, liabilities, damages, judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, costs, and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and related costs (collectively “Claims”), that: (a) arise from the act(s) or omission(s) of the Affiliate, Third Party Affiliate, Vendor, or any other third party; or (b) arise from or are related to breach or non-compliance of this Agreement by Affiliate, Third Party Affiliate, Vendor, or any other third party. If any Claim is or shall be brought against DEN, in respect to any allegation for which indemnity may be sought from Affiliate, DEN shall notify Affiliate of any such Claim of which it becomes aware. Affiliate shall provide reasonable cooperation, at Affiliate’s expense, in connection with the defense or settlement of any such Claim. DEN shall be entitled to participate in the defense or settlement of any Claim, including Affiliate’s selection of legal counsel. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, DEN may select legal counsel to represent it in any matter for which Affiliate is obligated to indemnify DEN, and Affiliate shall pay all of DEN’s legal fees, expenses, and costs related to the defense of any Claim. Affiliate shall not agree to any judgment or enter into any settlement of a Claim without DEN’s prior written consent.
