In consideration of the mutual agreements and covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Partner agrees to perform the Referral Services in accordance with the following and subject to such other written rules and guidelines as Real Dog Box may establish for the Partner Program and publish on the Real Dog Box website from time to time:

(a) Partner shall place a hyperlink on its website, in a format approved by Real Dog Box, that when clicked on redirects the visitor to the Real Dog Box website (a “Link”).

Partner will not utilize any paid advertising mediums, including pay-per-click, network display banners, or comparison shopping engines, without submitting a written marketing plan to Real Dog Box and obtaining Real Dog Box’s written approval.

Partner agrees to provide keyword lists, ads, advertising cookies, and any other data to Real Dog Box upon request and to make any modifications requested in a timely manner.
