3. USER SUBMISSIONS
A. The DeskPing.com Website may now or in the future permit the submission of
videos or other communications submitted by you and other users ("User

Submissions. You understand that whether or not such User Submissions are
published, DeskPing.com does not guarantee any confidentiality with respect to
any submissions.
B. You shall be solely responsible for your own User Submissions and the
consequences of posting or publishing them. In connection with User
Submissions, you affirm, represent, and/or warrant that: (i) you own or have
the necessary licenses, rights, consents, and permissions to use and authorize

these Terms of Service; and (ii) you have the written consent, release, and/or
permission of each and every identifiable individual person in the User
Submission to use the name or likeness of each and every such identifiable
individual person to enable inclusion and use of the User Submissions in the
manner contemplated by the Website and these Terms of Service. For clarity, you
retain all of your ownership rights in your User Submissions. However, by
submitting the User Submissions to DeskPing.com, you hereby grant DeskPing.com
a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicenseable and transferable
license to use, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of, display,
and perform the User Submissions in connection with the DeskPing.com Website

limitation for promoting and redistributing part or all of the DeskPing.com

or delete a User Submission from the DeskPing.com Website.
C. In connection with User Submissions, you further agree that you will not: (i)
submit material that is copyrighted, protected by trade secret or otherwise
subject to third party proprietary rights, including privacy and publicity
rights, unless you are the owner of such rights or have permission from their
rightful owner to post the material and to grant DeskPing.com all of the
license rights granted herein; (ii) publish falsehoods or misrepresentations
that could damage DeskPing.com or any third party; (iii) submit material that
is unlawful, obscene, defamatory, libelous, threatening, pornographic,
harassing, hateful, racially or ethnically offensive, or encourages conduct
that would be considered a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability,
violate any law, or is otherwise inappropriate; (iv) impersonate another
person. DeskPing.com does not endorse any User Submission or any opinion,
recommendation, or advice expressed therein, and DeskPing.com expressly
disclaims any and all liability in connection with User Submissions.
DeskPing.com does not permit copyright infringing activities and infringement
of intellectual property rights on its Website, and DeskPing.com will remove
all Content and User Submissions if properly notified that such Content or User
Submission infringes on another's intellectual property rights. DeskPing.com
reserves the right to remove Content and User Submissions without prior notice.
DeskPing.com will also terminate a User's access to its Website, if they are
determined to be a repeat infringer. A repeat infringer is a User who has been
notified of infringing activity more than twice and/or has had a User
Submission removed from the Website more than twice. DeskPing.com also reserves
the right to decide whether Content or a User Submission is appropriate and
complies with these Terms of Service for violations other than copyright
infringement and violations of intellectual property law, such as, but not
limited to, pornography, obscene or defamatory material, or excessive length.
DeskPing.com may remove such User Submissions and/or terminate a User's access
for uploading such material in violation of these Terms of Service at any time,
without prior notice and at its sole discretion.
D. In particular, if you are a copyright owner or an agent thereof and believe
that any User Submission or other content infringes upon your copyrights, you
may submit a notification pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act
("DMCA") by providing our Copyright Agent with the following information in
writing (see 17 U.S.C 512(c)(3) for further detail):

you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic
mail;
(v) A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in

BY REGISTERING FOR THE DESKPING.COM MEDIA STREAMING SYSTEM, I HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE

ITS TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
DeskPing.com Affiliate Agreement
This Agreement contains the complete terms and conditions that apply to an
individual or entity's participation in the DeskPing.com Affiliate Program (the
"Program"). As used in this Agreement, "we" means DeskPing.com, and "you" means
the applicant. "Site" means a World Wide Web site and, depending on the
context, refers either to DeskPing.com's site located at the URL
www.DeskPing.com, or to the site that you will link to our site (as identified
in your application).
1. Enrollment in the Program. To begin the enrollment process, please submit a
complete Program application. 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 content or Web
site is unsuitable for the Program. Unsuitable content or Web sites include
those that:
o Promote illegal activities o Include " DeskPing.com " or variations or
misspellings thereof in their domain names
o 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.
2. Links on Your Site. Once you have been notified that your site has been
accepted into the Program, you may provide a general link on your site to our
home page at http://www.DeskPing.com. 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.
3. Order Processing. 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.
4. Referral Fees. 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, select and purchase the Product using our automated
ordering system, accept delivery of the Product at the shipping destination,
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 Special Links on your site to access our site (e.g., by
implementing any "rewards" program for persons or entities who use Special
Links on your site to access our site); or (b) post any Special Links on any
Web site or other platform that is accessible through any Internet Access
Appliance. If we determine, in our sole discretion, that you have offered any
person or entity any such consideration or incentive, or posted Special Links
on any such Web site or platform, 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. Excess bandwidth usage
and/or toll-free usage are non-commissionable.
5. Referral Fee Schedule. You will earn referral fees based solely on the sale
of DeskPing.com service accounts. The current referral fee schedule is 33 1/3%
commission on each DeskPing.com sale originated by you from your affiliate
Website (Level One); 5% commission on each DeskPing.com sale originated by your
affiliate Website (Level Two) and 7% commission on each DeskPing.com sale
originated by your affiliate Website (Level 3). Commissions are paid on a
recurring basis for as long as DeskPing.com bills the referred members. Trial
accounts and bandwidth overage charges are non-commissionable.
6. Referral Fee. Payment Affiliate commission checks are made available every 30
days and are typically paid out within 15 days of the previous month's
activity. All payments shall be made in U.S. dollars. DeskPing.com reserves the
right to hold commission checks until commission payout is $20 or more. In the
event that the commission check is less than $20, that commission amount will
be added to the next month's commission total. A $2.00 check-processing fee
shall be deducted from the check amount when issued.
To request a check payment, DeskPing.com Affiliates must request a check using
the "Send Me A Check" button viewable on the Affiliate Summary page.
7. Policies and Pricing. Customers who buy services through this Program will be
deemed to be customers of DeskPing.com. Accordingly, all DeskPing.com rules,
policies, and operating procedures will apply to those customers. We may change
our policies, operating procedures and prices at any time.
8. Identifying Yourself as an Affiliate. We will make available to you an
affiliate web site with a unique URL that identifies you as a Program
participant. In order to be credited for a DeskPing.com sale, your visitors
must enter DeskPing.com via your Affiliate URL. These visitors will be tracked
with your id and you will be credited for any sale associated with those
visitors. 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. In addition, you may not in any
manner misrepresent or embellish the relationship between us and you, or
express or imply any relationship or affiliation between us and you or any
other person or entity except as expressly permitted by this Agreement
(including by expressing or implying that DeskPing.com supports, sponsors,
endorses or contributes money to any charity or other cause). As an affiliate,
you agree not to send any spam Email to announce your DeskPing.com affiliation.
This action will result in your immediate termination and will cancel any
pending commissions that may be pending.
9. Limited License. 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 rights. We may
revoke your license at any time by giving you written notice.
10. Term of the Agreement. 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. 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 DeskPing.com 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 commissions on DeskPing.com
sales during the term, and referral fees earned through the date of termination
will remain payable only if the related sales are not canceled or returned or
rules of this agreement were not violated by you. We may withhold your final
payment for a reasonable time to ensure that the correct amount is paid.
11. Modification. We may modify any of the terms and conditions contained in
this Agreement, at any time and in our sole discretion, by posting a change
notice or a new agreement on our site. Modifications may include, for example,
changes in the scope of available referral fees, referral fee schedules,
payment procedures, and Program rules. IF ANY MODIFICATION IS UNACCEPTABLE TO
YOU, YOUR ONLY RECOURSE IS TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT. YOUR CONTINUED
PARTICIPATION IN THE PROGRAM FOLLOWING OUR POSTING OF A CHANGE NOTICE OR NEW
AGREEMENT ON OUR SITE WILL CONSTITUTE BINDING ACCEPTANCE OF THE CHANGE.
12. Relationship of Parties. You and we are independent contractors, and nothing
in this Agreement will create any partnership, joint venture, agency,
franchise, sales representative, or employment relationship between the
parties. You will have no authority to make or accept any offers or
representations on our behalf. You will not make any statement, whether on your
site or otherwise, that reasonably would contradict anything in this Section.
as an independent contractor, you are responsible for your own local, state, or
federal taxes.

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.
14. Disclaimers. We make no express or implied warranties or representations
with respect to the Program or any products sold through the Program
(including, without limitation, warranties of fitness, merchantability,
non-infringement, or any implied warranties arising out of a course of
performance, dealing, or trade usage). In addition, we make no representation
that the operation of our site will be uninterrupted or error-free, and we will
not be liable for the consequences of any interruptions or errors.

AND AGREE TO ALL ITS TERMS AND CONDITIONS. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT WE MAY AT ANY
TIME (DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY) SOLICIT CUSTOMER REFERRALS. YOU HAVE

States and the state of Kansas, without reference to rules governing choice of
laws. Any action relating to this Agreement must be brought in the federal or
state courts located in Topeka, KS and you irrevocably consent to the
jurisdiction of such courts. You may not assign this Agreement, by operation of
law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. Subject to that
restriction, this Agreement will be binding on, inure to the benefit of, and
enforceable against the parties and their respective successors and assigns.
