The Luggage Forward Affiliate Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) are entered into by and between Luggage Forward, Inc., (“Luggage Forward”) and the entity executing these Terms or that accepts these Terms electronically (“Affiliate”) (each individually, a “Party”, together, the “Parties”).
RECITALS

Affiliate desires Luggage Forward to offer its LF Service to Affiliate’s customers (the “Customers”) as a way of improving the overall travel experience for such Customers. Luggage Forward is willing to offer its Luggage Forward Service to Customers in accordance with these Terms. In consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, the Parties agree as follows:
REFERRALS
Luggage Forward shall collect, process, and recognize revenues received through sales referred by Affiliate (each an “Eligible Transaction”, and collectively “Eligible Transactions”). Sales shall not be binding until accepted by Luggage Forward. Luggage Forward reserves the right to reject any shipment when, in the judgment of Luggage Forward, it may not comply with Luggage Forward’s Terms of Service. A sale will be considered an Eligible Transaction only if it is not discounted from the then-current full published rate and is booked using one of the following referral methods (“Referral Methods”): (a) Completing a booking via phone using a unique telephone number provided to the Affiliate by Luggage Forward. (b) Completing a booking via phone using a Luggage Forward’s publicly available phone number and providing a unique Affiliate code provided by Luggage Forward.

COMMISSION & REMITTANCE
Luggage Forward shall remit to Affiliate a commission payment corresponding to 8% of the money received by Luggage Forward generated by Eligible Transactions (the “Commission”), unless otherwise agreed in writing, for all Commission earned within thirty (30) days of the end of the fiscal quarter in which the final delivery of an Eligible Transaction occurs, provided that the total commission for the period exceeds $25. If the commission does not exceed $25, the balance earned shall accrue to future quarters and will be paid once the total commission balance exceeds $25. Luggage Forward will remit Commission payments via check payable in US Dollars. If Affiliate requires a bank wire transfer, payments will be held until the commission balance exceeds $100.
