RightLoan Affiliates Program Terms and Conditions
This Agreement contains the complete terms and conditions that apply to an individual's or
entity's participation in the RightLoan Affiliates Program (the "Program").
As used in this Agreement, "we" means FreeOL Holdings Pty Ltd. trading as RightLoan.com.au, and "you" means the
applicant. "Site" means a World Wide Web site and, depending on the context, refers either
to RightLoan's site located at the URL www.rightloan.com.au, or to the site from which you will
link to our site (and which you will identify in your Program application).
Enrollment in the Program (Section 1)
To begin the enrollment process, you will submit a complete Program application via
our site. 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
(at our sole discretion) that your site is unsuitable for the Program.
Unsuitable sites include those (but not limited to) that:
- Promote sexually explicit materials
- Promote violence
- Promote discrimination based on race, sex, religion, nationality, disability,
sexual orientation, or age
- Promote illegal activities
- Include "RightLoan" or variations or misspellings thereof in their domain names
- Include "Homeloan" or variations or misspellings thereof in their domain names
- Otherwise violate intellectual property rights
If we reject your application, you are welcome to reapply to the Program at any time.
You should also note that if we accept your application and your site is thereafter
determined (at our sole discretion) to be unsuitable for the Program,
we may terminate this Agreement.
Links on Your Site (Section 2)
Once you have been notified that your site has been accepted into the Program,
you may provide on your site one or more of the following types of links to our site:
- Banner link: You may provide a RightLoan.com.au banner on your site that will permit your site
visitors to link directly to a page on our site. We will provide you with technical
specifications describing how to include a RightLoan.com.au banner on your site.
- General link to RightLoan.com.au home page: You may provide a general link on your site to
our home page at http://www2.RightLoan.com.au/afindex.html. We will provide you with guidelines
and graphical artwork to use in linking to our home page.
To permit accurate tracking, reporting, and referral fee accrual, we will provide you
with special "tagged" link formats to be used in all links between your site and our site.
You must ensure that each of the links between your site and our site properly utilizes
such special link formats. Links to our site placed on your site pursuant to this Agreement
and which properly utilize such special link formats are referred to as "Special Links."
You will only earn referral fees with respect to activity on our site occurring directly
through Special Links: we will not be liable to you with respect to any failure by you to
use Special Links, including to the extent that such failure may result in any reduction
of amounts which would otherwise be paid to you pursuant to this Agreement.
Order Processing (Section 3)
We will process product orders placed by customers who follow special links from your
site to our site. We reserve the right to reject orders that do not comply with any
requirements that we periodically may establish. We will be responsible for all aspects of
order processing and fulfillment. Among other things, we will prepare order forms;
process payments, cancellations, and returns; and handle customer service.
We will track sales made to customers who purchase products using special 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 at our discretion.
Referral Fees (Section 4)
We will pay you (in accordance with Sections 5 and 6 below) referral fees on certain
product sales to third parties. For a product sale to be eligible to earn a referral fee,
the customer must follow a special link from your site to our site,
you must be the first referer to have directed the customer to our site (ie if the customer
had on a previous occasion visited our site either by following a special link from another
referer or by directly accessing our site, no commission will be payable to you)
and during the ensuing customers session on our site, the customer selects and purchases a
product using our automated ordering system, remit full payment to us or our principals and
at no stage renege on the purchase.
The Program is intended for commercial use only, and you may not purchase products through
the Program for your own use. Such purchases may result (at our sole discretion) in the
withholding of referral fees or the termination of this Agreement.
Referral Fee Schedule (Section 5)
You will earn referral fees based on qualifying revenues according to referral fee
schedules to be established by us. "qualifying revenues" are revenues derived by us from
our sales of qualifying products, excluding cancellations and bad debt.
Currently referral fees will be paid on the following products:
- Home Loan Applications that are for a sum greater than AU$99,999 made online via
an online Application form by a customer who has been referred to us by a Special Link from
your site to our site, and such online Home Loan Application
is approved by the relevant Lender and the Application is settled and we receive our full
online application commission in relation to
the customers Application. The current referral fee schedule for this is $100 (Australian)
NO referral fee is payable from sales of Qualifying Products in any manner that is
NOT an online application, ie the customer has chosen not to apply for a Qualifying Product
via an online application, but has instead requested to make the application over the
telephone or has requested for a mobile loan manager to pay the customer a personal visit.
Sales of products other than those defined above, and offered on the RightLoan site are NOT
eligible for referral fees.
In NO instance will a referral fee be paid to you where our commission from the sale less
commissions paid to the loan applicant is less than your referral fee.
Referral Fee Payment (Section 6)
We will pay you referral fees on a calendar monthly basis.
Approximately 30 days following the end of each calendar month, we will send you a
cheque for the referral fees earned on our sales of Qualifying Products that were
settled during that calendar month, less any taxes that we are required by law to withhold.
However, if the referral fees payable to you for any calendar month are less than $200.00,
we will hold those referral fees until the total amount due is at least $200.00 or
(if earlier) until this Agreement is terminated. If a Product that generated a referral
fee is returned by the customer, we will deduct the corresponding referral fee from your
next monthly payment. If there is no subsequent payment, we will send you a bill for the
referral fee.
Policies and Pricing (Section 7)
Customers who buy products through this Program will be deemed to be customers of
RightLoan.com.au. Accordingly, all RightLoan.com.au rules, policies, and
operating procedures concerning customer orders, customer service, and product 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 products 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 reasonable efforts
to present accurate information, but we cannot guarantee the accuracy of
all the information on our site.
Identifying Yourself as an Associate (Section 8)
We will make available to you a small graphic image that identifies your site as
a Program participant. You must display this logo or the phrase
"In association with RightLoan.com.au" somewhere on your site. We may modify the text or
graphic image of this notice from time to time. In addition, we encourage
(but do not require) you to include a Special Link on your site to the RightLoan.com.au
home page at http://www2.RightLoan.com.au. You may not make any press release with respect
to this Agreement or your participation in the Program without our prior written consent,
which may be given or withheld in our sole discretion.
Limited License (Section 9)
We grant you a nonexclusive, revocable right to use the graphic image and text
described in Section 8 and such other images for which we grant express permission,
solely for the purpose of identifying your site as a Program participant and to assist
in generating product sales. You may not modify the graphic image or text, or any other
of our images, in any way. We reserve all of our rights in the graphic image and text,
any other images, our trade names and trademarks, and all other intellectual property

time to time. We may revoke your license at any time by giving you written notice.

The term of this Agreement will begin upon our acceptance of your Program
application and will end when terminated by either party. Either you or we may
terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause, by giving the other
party written notice of termination. Upon the termination of this Agreement for any
reason, you will immediately cease use of, and remove from your site, all links to
our site, and all RightLoan.com.au trademarks, trade dress and logos, and all
other materials provided by or on behalf of us to you pursuant hereto or in connection with
the Program. You are only eligible to earn referral fees on our sales of Qualifying
Products occurring during the term, and referral fees earned through the date of
termination will remain payable only if the related orders are not canceled or returned.
We may withhold your final payment for a reasonable time to ensure that the correct
amount is paid.

time and in our sole discretion, by posting a change notice or a new agreement on our site.

referral fee schedules, payment procedures, and Program rules.

partnership, joint venture, agency, franchise, sales representative, or employment
relationship between the parties. You will have no authority to make or accept any

site or otherwise, that reasonably would contradict anything in this Section.
Limitation of Liability (Section 14)
We will not be liable for indirect, special, or consequential damages (or any loss of
revenue, profits, or data) arising in connection with this Agreement or the Program,
even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Further, our aggregate
liability arising with respect to this Agreement and the Program will not exceed the
total referral fees paid or payable to you under this Agreement.
