which you will identify in your Program application).

1. Enrollment in the Program
To begin the enrollment process, you will submit a complete Program
application via one of our sites. We will evaluate your application in
good faith and will notify you of your acceptance or rejection. We may
reject your application if we determine (in our sole discretion) that your
site is unsuitable for the Program. Unsuitable sites include those that:

disability, sexual orientation, or age

at any time. If we accept your application and your site is thereafter
determined (in our sole discretion) to be unsuitable for the Program, we
may terminate this Agreement.

Once you have been notified that your site has been accepted into the
Program, we will provide you with an Affiliate Link URL. This URL will
point to a series of Web pages, which constitute an affiliate Web site
(Affiliate Web Site), designed by us.

Utilizing Our Links on Your Site. 
As an affiliate site, we will make available to a text link to the
Affiliate Web Site. In utilizing the Link, you agree that you will
cooperate fully with us in order to establish and maintain such Links or
Links. A Link may only be modified and/or expanded with our consent. Each
Link connecting users of your site to our site will in no way alter the
look, feel or functionality of the Affiliate Web Site we have provided
you. We have the right in our sole discretion to monitor your site at any
time and from time to time to determine if you are in compliance with the
terms of this Agreement. You may add content hosted on the server hosting
your URL (for instance, an introductory home page), but you may not add,
alter, or modify any aspect of the Affiliate Web Site provided by us.

3. Order Processing
eFulfillment Partners will process orders placed by customers who follow
Affiliate Links from your site to our site. We reserve the right to reject
orders that do not comply with any requirements that we may establish
periodically. We will be responsible for all aspects of order processing
and fulfillment. Among other things, we will prepare order forms, process
payments, and handle customer service. We will track sales made to
customers who purchase a phonecard by using Affiliate Links from your site
to our site and will make available to you reports summarizing this sales
activity. The form, content, and frequency of the reports may vary from
time to time in our discretion.

4. Referral Fees
We will pay you (in accordance with terms below) referral fees on
phonecard sales to third parties. For a sale to be eligible to earn a
referral fee, the customer must follow an Affiliate Link from your site to
our site, select and purchase the phonecard using our automated ordering
system, accept delivery of the phonecard, and remit full payment to us.
You may not: (a) directly or indirectly offer any person or entity any
consideration or incentive (including, without limitation, payment of
money (including any rebate), or granting of any discount or other
benefit) for using Affiliate Links on your site to access our site (e.g.,
by implementing any "rewards" program for persons or entities who use
Affiliate Links on your site to access our site); (b) read, intercept,
record, redirect, interpret, or fill in the contents of any electronic
form or other materials submitted to us by any person or entity; (c) in
any way modify, redirect, suppress, or substitute the operation of any
button, link, or other interactive feature of our site; (d) you may not,
in any way, represent to a third party that you are responsible for any of
the aspects of the Affiliate Relationship which we in fact provide. If we
determine, in our sole discretion, that you have engaged in any of the
foregoing activities, we may (without limiting any other rights or
remedies available to us) withhold any referral fees otherwise payable to
you under this Agreement and/or terminate this agreement.

5. Referral Fee Schedule
The current referral fee schedule is:
-> 10% of the total sales amount of each phonecard order made at
eFulfillment Partners's sites via the Affiliate Link.
-> 1% of the total sales amount of each mobile phone, airtime recharge, or
mobile-related product order made at eFulfillment Partners's sites via the
Affiliate Link.
Plus,
-> 2% of the total sales amount of each phonecard order made at any
eFulfillment Partners affiliate who has joined our affiliate program via
your Affiliate Link.
-> No sub-affiliate Commisssion's are payable on mobile phones, airtime
recharges, or mobile-related product orders.

For instance: If phone card orders totaling $10,000 are made via your
Affiliate Link, you will receive a commission of $1,000. In addition, you
will receive a 2% commission on the orders made through third-party's
Affiliate Links if those third-parties have joined eFulfillment Partners's
affiliate program through your Affiliate Link. As an example, if 10 sites
join eFulfillment Partners affiliates by following the "Join Affiliates"
link from your Affiliate Web Site, each of which have orders totaling
$10,000 (for a total of $100,000 among them), you will receive 2%, or a
$2,000  commission for those orders, in addition to commissions you
generate through direct sales from your Affiliate Link.

6. Referral Payment
We will pay you referral fees and bonuses on a quarterly basis.
Approximately 30 days following the end of each calendar quarter, we will
send you a check for the referral fees and bonus earned on: a) phonecard
sales that were purchased as a result of direct orders from your Affiliate
Link, and b) phonecard sales that were made by eFulfillment Partners
Affiliates that joined our program via your Affiliate Link. However, if
the referral fees and bonus payable to you for any calendar quarter are
less than $50, we will hold payment until the total amount due is at least
$50 or (if earlier) until this Agreement is terminated. In calculating
referral fees, we will deduct any fees from the prior quarter which were
paid where the product that generated the referral fee is returned by 
customer. If there is no subsequent payment, we will send you a bill for
the unearned referral fee.

7. Policies and Pricing
Customers who buy phonecards through this Program will be deemed to be
customers of eFulfillment Partners Accordingly, all eFulfillment Partners
rules, policies, and operating procedures concerning customer orders,
customer service, and phonecard sales will apply to those customers. We
may change our policies and operating procedures at any time. For example,
we will determine the prices to be charged for phonecards sold under this
Program in accordance with our own pricing policies. Product prices and
availability may vary from time to time. We will use commercially
