[Getting Started]  [Agreement]  [Sign Up]  [Tips]  [Images]  [Report]  [Login]

This Agreement is the terms and conditions that apply to your participation in Computer Manuals Affiliate Scheme, either as an individual or a company. For convenience, "we", "us" and "our" means Computer Manuals, a trading name of Computer Bookshops Limited, and "you" and "your" refers to you the applicant applying to join the Affiliate Scheme. 

1. Joining Affiliate Scheme

For enrolment into the Affiliate Scheme, you need to complete and submit a sign-up application form via our web 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 Affiliate Scheme.

Should your application be rejected, Computer Manuals welcomes you to re-apply to the Scheme at any time.

2. Links on Your Site

This agreement allows you a revocable, non-exclusive, licence for the term of the Agreement, for purpose of referrals from your site to Computer Manuals web site, to use products, images and links to our Web Site. There are three usual ways to link:

A. Featured Titles Featured Links. You may select as many products as you wish to list on your site. For each product you display the title, image and any other description. You will be responsible for the content, and accuracy of these references. You will provide a special link from each featured product on your site to the corresponding Computer Manuals Online Bookstore page. The link URL will be in a special format that we give you. You may add or remove products and links from your site at any time.

B. General Link to computermanuals.co.uk Home Page: You may provide a general link on your site to our home page in a format to be provided by us. We will provide you with guidelines and graphical artwork to use in linking to the computermanuals.co.uk  home page.

C. Search box. You may include a Computer Manuals Search Box on your site enabling the customer to search Computer Manuals Online Bookstore directly.

3. Ordering Process

It is our responsibility to take and process order from customers who follow special links from your site to ours.  We have the right to reject orders at our own discretion and subject to our own credit authorization rules.

We are responsible for all aspects of order fulfillment and processing including customer service. 
Using the link format provided to you, including your affiliate code, we will track the orders generated from links from your Site and provide data on this to you, including referral fees due to you.

To allow us to accurately report this information to you and to accrue referral fees, you must use the link format specified by us. We will not be liable for any fees on sales made, which are not correctly tracked because the links from your site are not in the proper format.

4. Referral Fees

We will pay you referral fees on sales of specified products. For a product sale to generate a referral fee, the customer must follow a special link (in the format specified by us) from your site to the Computer Manuals web site; purchase the product on the Computer Manuals web site using our ordering system; accept delivery of the product, and make full payment to Computer Bookshops Limited. We will not pay referral fees on products that are added to a customer's Shopping Basket after the customer has re-entered our site from another source, even if the customer previously followed a link from your site to our site. The Affiliate Scheme is intended for third party use only and you may not buy products through the Affiliate Scheme for your own use.

5. Referral Fees Schedule

You will earn referral fees based on Computer Manuals actual selling price of products according to the referral fee schedules to be published by us from time to time. The selling price excludes costs for dispatching, handling, and taxes (including VAT, if any). Computer Manuals current fee schedule is:

8% of the Computer Manuals actual selling price for sales of each product.

6. Payment of Referral fees.

Fees will be paid on a quarterly basis. We will pay by cheque about 30 days after the end of the calendar quarter in question. VAT will be included, but you will need a valid VAT invoice for this. If the payable fees are less than £50, then the amount will be held over until the following quarter. Return fees in respect of sold products returned to us will be taken the subsequent quarterly payment.  If there is no further fee accrued to you, we will send you an invoice for this amount.

This means we are responsible for all aspects of fulfillment and customer service.  It also means that Computer Manuals standard rules, terms and procedures apply to the transaction, and the prices are those of the Computer Manuals Web Site
