The Affiliate Program is purely a referral program by which you can earn commissions as outlined herein. Commissions are earned by you as an independent contractor and, as such, you are responsible for paying any taxes due on such commissions. In addition, you are required to provide any/all accurately completed tax related information and forms that is requested by Agilent Insights. Failure to do so will result in a forfeiture of your commissions.

You acknowledge and agree that (i) Agilent Insights may or may not notify you of such changes or modifications prior to posting them to this Site and (ii) your continued participation in the Affiliate Program after such changes or modifications have been made (as indicated by the “Last Revised” date on this page) shall constitute your acceptance of this Agreement as last revised. If you do not agree to be bound by this Agreement as last revised, you must formally terminate your Affiliate status. In addition, while not required, Agilent Insights may occasionally notify you of changes or modifications to this Agreement by email. Agilent Insights assumes no liability or responsibility for your failure to receive an email notification if such failure results from an inaccurate or out-of-date email address.
B. Suspension or Termination of Affiliate Program Participation
Agilent Insights reserves the right to suspend participation in the Affiliate Program in the event of an unresolved breach of this Agreement or if suspension or cancellation is required by any policy now in effect or later adopted by ICANN.

Such remedial action may be implemented without notice to you.

2. DESCRIPTION OF THE AFFILIATE PROGRAM
A. Overview
Agilent Insights’ Affiliate Program allows you to earn commissions on leads to new Agilent Insights members via advertising on your “web site” or “publishing location” (such as an electronic newsletter or blog) (hereinafter “Your Site”) that contains a link with your affiliate ID. This advertising will allow you to drive traffic (“sessions”) to Agilent Insights’ web site. In order to participate in the Affiliate Program you must complete an insertion order (“Insertion Order”). You will earn a commission as outlined in the Insertion Order when a person or entity (that is not you or your agent(s)) makes their first-time registration of certain Agilent Insights products or services (“New Member”) after being referred to through the unique affiliate link that is contained on Your Site.
After being referred to the Agilent Insights web site from a link contained on Your Site, visitors have thirty (30) days to complete their registration for you to receive a commission. Should the visitor click on another referral link that is not controlled by you, or return to the Agilent Insights web site via another source-coded advertising link during the initial thirty (30) days, your affiliate link will be overwritten and you will not receive a commission for that visitor’s registration.
B. Enrolment
Enrolment into Agilent Insights’ Affiliate Program occurs through the completion and acceptance of an Insertion Order.
C. Commissionable Leads
Affiliate acknowledges and agrees that Agilent Insights will only pay for first-time registrations by new members. Affiliate will only receive commission for registrations completed after linking through Affiliate’s unique referral link and completing such registrations within 30 days of first visiting the Agilent Insights site. Subsequent registrations made by the same member (including by accessing Agilent Insights’ web site directly) will not be commissionable. All Agilent Insights products and services will be eligible for a commission except premium domains, domains bought at Agilent Insights Marketplace and apps.
D. Restrictions on Eligible Commissions
You are not eligible for a commission payment on registrations made by you, your employees, agents, representatives, or contractors (all considered your “agents”), as well as registrations made from several accounts owned by the same person. Commission is paid for the first registration only made by a certain person. Agilent Insights employees (and their immediate family members) are not allowed to participate in the Agilent Insights Affiliate Program.
