   4. “Confidential Information” shall mean all information shared between the Parties which is not generally published by the Parties, including but not limited to, the terms of this agreement, financial information, marketing plans, customer information, commission percentages, and other information transmitted or delivered which would be expected under reasonable circumstances to be held private between the Parties. 
   5. “Gross Revenue” shall mean all revenue received from the sale of one or more of SpiritDog’s Products by Affiliate.
   6. “Net Revenue” shall mean Gross Revenue, less any and all refunds, taxes, and other expenses related to the sale.

Sales under this definition are subject to the “Last Cookie Rule” as set forth under Section 3, below.
   8. “Ongoing Sales Commission” shall mean an accruing percentage of Net Revenue from sales made through online links provided to customers by Affiliate of ongoing and continuing subscriptions to SpiritDog product. Subscription Sales Prices shall be set by SpiritDog for each of its product lines and adjusted from time to time at SpiritDog’s sole discretion.

   9. “Proprietary Rights” shall mean all rights held by a Party in that Party’s products, services and programs and confidential information, including, without limitation, copyrights, authors’ rights, trademarks, service marks, patent rights, trade names, know-how and trade secrets, software source codes and proprietary algorithms irrespective of whether such rights arise under U.S. intellectual property, unfair competition, or trade secret laws. 
   10. “Customer” shall mean a person who purchases one or more SpiritDog Products from SpiritDog during the Term of this Agreement as a direct result of being referred to SpiritDog’s Website in response to Affiliate’s marketing efforts hereunder. Purchases under this definition are subject to the Last Cookie Rule as set forth under Section 3, below.
   11. “Visitor” shall mean any person or user that clicks on a link to SpiritDog’s Website, accessed through the Affiliate’s weblink. Visitors under this definition are subject to the Last Cookie Rule as set forth under Section 3, below.

3. Last Cookie Rule. To avoid confusion and potential conflicts between different marketing affiliates as well as SpiritDog, the Parties expressly agree that the commission, ongoing or otherwise, from a sale is available to the Affiliate only if the link provided by the Affiliate to the prospective customer is the final link and access point the customer uses when accessing the SpiritDog Wesbite. A potential customer may choose to access the SpiritDog website multiple times before making a purchase. Customer website access data, or “cookies” are logged by SpiritDog, and show which link or access point ultimately results in the purchase. Each cookie will remain in effect for 24 hours from the time of access through an Affiliate link. A subsequent access to the SpiritDog Website by the same customer will automatically overwrite the cookie generated by the customer’s previous access. The last cookie generated by the customer’s access, if that link was provided by the Affiliate, will result in a commission to the Affiliate.

4. Retargeting Customers.  The Parties expressly agree that marketing generated by the Affiliate does not entitle the Affiliate to exclusive access to any potential customers of SpiritDog. Any potential customers who access SpiritDog’s Website, regardless of whether it was through an Affiliate link, may, in turn, be retargeted by SpiritDog or other marketing affiliates. The Affiliate agrees that it is only entitled to commissions under the Last Cookie Rule, and hereby waives any potential cause of action, legal or otherwise, arising from the retargeting of customers sent to the SpiritDog Website. 

5. License. Affiliate shall have the non-exclusive, limited right, under the terms hereof, to use and market SpiritDog Marketing Materials, Website, and Product, as that term is defined hereinabove, during the Term of this Agreement for the sole purpose of marketing SpiritDog Products. All images, technology, and content provided for Affiliate’s use is and shall remain the sole property of SpiritDog and no part thereof shall be deemed assigned or licensed to Affiliate except as explicitly provided for herein. All intellectual property rights, including trademarks, copyrights, patent rights and applications, trade names and service marks related to the Marketing Materials and SpiritDog’s Products shall remain SpiritDog’s sole property, including rights in and to any derivatives thereof. Affiliate may not modify the trademarks, banners, the content, or any of the images provided to Affiliate in any way without explicit written consent from SpiritDog. Affiliate shall not represent that it has any right, title or interest in or to such items other than the license granted by SpiritDog as set forth in this Agreement. Affiliate acknowledges SpiritDog’s ownership and exclusive right to its images, technology, and content provided to Affiliate for marketing purposes. 

6. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by any Party without notice. Upon Termination, Affiliate will be compensated for any Sales Commissions earned up to the date of Termination.
