Subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, Participant grants to GQueues a nonexclusive and non-sublicensable license during the Term to display Participant's Brand Features solely for the purpose of marketing the Program or as otherwise mutually agreed upon (email permitted).

7. Payment

  • 7.1 Referral Fees. GQueues will pay Participant 20% of the initial payment for a yearly subscription, or 20% of each monthly payment for a monthly subscription, up to a maximum of 12 months, for each Valid Transaction generated by an Eligible Referral (referred to as a "Referral Fee"). However, GQueues shall not be liable to pay Participant more than an aggregated total of $200 per customer entity for any single Eligible Referral. A Valid Transaction will only take place when an Eligible Referral: (a) registers online directly with GQueues using a valid payment instrument for the purchase of Services; (b) purchase originates from a Custom URL correlating to Participant's account; (c) does not already have, directly or indirectly, a Services subscription; (d) has been invoiced for, and from whom GQueues has received payment for a subscription for Services; and (e) where all the foregoing occurs during Participant's period of participation in the Program. GQueues may, at its sole option, prospectively increase or decrease Referral Fees amounts by providing written notice (email/electronic communication permitted) to Participant, or updating this Agreement and/or any applicable Program Guide. GQueues reserves the right, in its sole discretion not to pay any Referral Fees to Participant where GQueues determines Participant's actions are not consistent with the intent of this Program.
  • 7.2. Incentives. GQueues may elect to provide Participant with Incentives to offer its Eligible Referrals from time to time. Use of any applicable Incentives will be subject to the governing terms and conditions as provided by GQueues.
  • 7.3. Payment Process. In order for Participant to receive any Referral Fees participant must first provide the email address of a valid PayPal account and maintain a valid PayPal account within the Territory. GQueues will pay Participant the Referral Fees in the form of a deposit to the PayPal account as indicated by Participant via the Program registration process. Additional payment terms may need to be accepted by Participant for the deposit of Referrals Fees to Participant's PayPal account. Referral fees will be issued to Participant on a monthly basis. There is a minimum 30-day waiting period between the date of a Valid Transaction and the payment of associated Referral Fees. If Participant has a balance below the minimum payout threshold of $5, the accumulated balance shall be carried over and added to the next month's Referral Fees. If Participant has earned $600 or more in Referral Fees in a single calendar year, and is a US resident, a W-9 must be properly completed, signed and submitted to GQueues before any payments over $599 will be issued. Failure to submit a W-9 within 30 days of reaching $600 in Referral Fees will result in forfeiture by Participant of any unpaid Referral Fees. All amounts referenced or payable under this Agreement are in U.S. Dollars unless GQueues notifies otherwise.

Participant is solely responsible for ensuring its account information is accurate and current. GQueues will not be responsible for any payments not received due to Participant failing to provide accurate and complete account information for payment.

8. Restrictions

Participant will not, and will not allow any third party to: (a) "frame," minimize, remove, or otherwise inhibit, the full and complete display of any GQueues web page; (b) cause any hyperlinks to web pages on the GQueues web site to create a new browser window; or (c) otherwise display GQueues web pages or Brand Features in a distorted or diluted fashion.

9. Term; Termination

The Term will continue until terminated by either party as provided herein. Either party may terminate this Agreement immediately with or without cause upon written notice to the other party (email notice permitted). Upon any termination or expiration of this Agreement, all licenses and rights granted will terminate and each party will have no right to use the Brand Features of the other party. In the event of a termination, Participant will only receive Referral Fees that were earned in full for a Valid Transaction that occurred prior to the effective termination date. Termination notices to GQueues must be sent to the following email address: referralprogram@gqueues.com.
