Cashback Circle Agreement
This GOODSHOP CASHBACK CIRCLE PROGRAM CUSTOMER AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is dated May 24, 2019 (the “Effective Date”), between the Customer agreeing to be bound by this Agreement (the “Customer”) and Goodshop, LLC (“Goodshop”), a Delaware limited liability company.
Article I
Customer Arrangement
1. Coupons.Customer may access and use coupons, discounts, and special offers (collectively, the “coupons”) available at the Goodshop websites, www.goodshop.com (collectively, the “Website”) to make purchases with various merchants. Each coupon is subject to its own terms and conditions with the applicable merchant. Goodshop does not negotiate with merchants to determine the terms and conditions specific to the coupons and is not responsible for any requirements that the coupons stipulate in order for Customer to receive the benefits or discounts described therein.
2. Commission.Customer will receive commission monies with each coupon used in accordance with the following schedule:
(a) Cashback Commission. When Customer makes a purchase using a coupon, Customer will receive a commission of fifty percent (50%) (the “Cashback Commission”) of the amount Goodshop received through use of the coupon. The amount Goodshop receives through the use of a coupon varies depending on the merchant and is listed on the Website. By way of example, if Goodshop received $10.00 through the Customer’s use of a coupon, Customer will receive $5.00 in a Cashback Commission.
(b) Network Commission. When a Member (defined below) in the Customer’s Network makes a purchase using a coupon, Customer will receive a commission of fifty percent (50%) of the amount the Member received from the Cashback Commission (the “Network Commission”). The Network Commission does not reduce the Member’s Cashback Commission. By way of example, if a Member received $5.00 in Cashback Commission through use of a coupon, Customer will receive $2.50 in Network Commission.
Any commission is subject to change at any time by Goodshop without notice. Customer has no claim to any specific amount of commission that Customer would have received prior to a change. Goodshop may add to or subtract from an unpaid commission if Goodshop determines in its sole discretion that a previously paid commission should have been a different amount. Customer must be in good standing, and not in violation of this Agreement, to be eligible for any commission from Goodshop. Customer is encouraged to visit the Website to view commission amounts.
3. Customer Network.Customer may solicit individuals to become part of the Customer Network in accordance with this Agreement (such individuals the “Members”). Goodshop will provide Customer with a unique referral web page that Customer may use to refer and register Members. Any individual that registers through such unique referral web page will become a Customer subject to this Agreement and the Customer’s Member. Any Customer Network will extend no more than one level such that Customer will not receive any commission or other form of compensation from the use of coupons by a Member of a Customer’s Member.
4. Types of Members.Any Member must be an individual and not a business entity. Goodshop may, at its sole discretion, accept or reject any individual that registers through a Customer’s unique referral page. Furthermore, Goodshop may, at its sole discretion, remove a Member from any Customer Network without notice.
5. Policies; Procedures.Goodshop promulgates a document containing policies and procedures that guide and instruct Customers (the “Policies and Procedures”).

7. Amendment.Goodshop may amend this Agreement, the Policies and Procedures, or related documents and agreements at any time. An amendment to any of these documents will become effective immediately without notice; provided, however, that any change to this Agreement or the Policies and Procedures will be promptly updated on the website version available at the Website. Customer shall comply with these amendments. Customers continuation of the relationship or any form of business with Goodshop or acceptance of any form of commission after the effective dates of such amendments will constitute acceptance of the amendments.

Term; Termination.The term of this Agreement is perpetual unless terminated in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and is subject to prior cancellation pursuant to the Policies and Procedures. Either party may terminate this Agreement by providing ten (10) days written notice to the non-terminating party.
