We may reject your application (at our sole discretion) if we feel your site is unsuitable or inconsistent with the mission of EEINC. If your site is accepted, EEINC may terminate this Agreement anytime thereafter if your site is determined (at our sole discretion) to be unsuitable for the Program. 2. Promotion of Our Affiliate Program Upon your acceptance as an Affiliate, we will make available to you, via the Website, a variety of graphic and textual links (the "Links"), which, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, you may display as often and in as many areas of your site as you desire. The Links will serve to identify your site as a member of our Affiliate Network and will establish a link from your site to our Website. 3. EEINC Agrees To:

If the modifications are unacceptable to you, your only recourse is to terminate this Agreement. Your continued participation in this Affiliate Program after a date of change notice has been posted will constitute binding acceptance of the change. 12. Anti-Spam Policy Affiliates will be removed from the Affiliate Program and forfeit any pending commissions if they are caught spamming. Spamming is not allowed and will not be tolerated. 13. Independent Contractors You are an independent contractor to EEINC and nothing in this Agreement will create any partnership, joint venture, agency, franchise, sales representative, or employment relationship between the parties.
