1. Enrollment in the Program
To begin the enrollment process, you will submit a complete HB!Affiliate application via the HeartBeat.com.my Site.

- promote violence
- promote discrimination based on race, sex, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation, or age
- promote illegal activities
- violate intellectual property rights.
By participating in the Program you agree that you will not engage in any such activities. If we reject your application, you are welcome to reapply at any time. You should also note that if we accept your application and your site is thereafter determined (in our sole discretion) to be unsuitable for the Program, we may terminate this Agreement.
Participation in the Program is limited to parties that lawfully can enter into and form contracts under applicable law. For example, minors are not allowed to participate in the Program.
2. Links on Your Site
We grant you a revocable, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license for the duration of the term of this Agreement, solely for purposes of facilitating referrals from your site to the HeartBeat.com.my Site, to provide on your site one or more of the following types of links to the HeartBeat.com.my Site:
Product Links: You may select one or more Products to list on your site using a variety of formats that we make available to you, such as text link format or graphical link format.
A "Product" is any product listed on the HeartBeat.com.my Site that is fulfilled by us or on our behalf. For each selected Product, you will display on your site a short description, review, or other reference. You will be responsible for the content, style, and placement of these references. You may add or delete Products (and related links) from your site at any time without our approval. You may not use Special Links to link to the HeartBeat.com.my Site from references to products on your site that are not "Products" as defined above.
General Link to HeartBeat.com.my Site Home Page: You may provide a general link on your site to the home page of the HeartBeat.com.my Site.
Easy Link: You may provide an "Easy Link" on your site, which is a Special Link through which we may serve content as we deem appropriate. If you choose to provide a graphical Easy Link, you agree you will use the graphical artwork we serve or otherwise provide to you only to identify the Easy Link. If you choose to provide a text-only Easy Link, you agree you will not alter the text we serve or otherwise provide to you to identify the Easy Link.
Any Page Link: You may provide a link on your site that will link to any particular page on the HeartBeat.com.my Site, provided that you properly use the special link formats provided on the HeartBeat.com.my Site as part of the Program to create such link.
We will provide you with guidelines and graphical artwork to use in linking to the HeartBeat.com.my Site home page. To permit accurate tracking, reporting, and referral fee accrual, we will provide you with special "tagged" link formats to be used in all links between your site and the HeartBeat.com.my Site. You must ensure that each of the links between your site and the HeartBeat.com.my Site properly utilizes such special link formats. Links to the HeartBeat.com.my Site placed on your site pursuant to this Agreement and which properly utilize such special link formats are referred to as "Special Links." You will earn referral fees only with respect to activity on the HeartBeat.com.my Site occurring directly through Special Links; we will not be liable to you with respect to any failure by you to use Special Links, including to the extent that such failure may result in any reduction of amounts that would otherwise be paid to you pursuant to this Agreement.
You acknowledge that, by participating in the HB!Affiliate and placing any of the above links within your site, we may receive information from or about visitors to your site or communications between your site and those visitors. Your participation in the Program constitutes your specific and unconditional consent to and authorization for our access to, receipt, storage, use, and disclosure of any and all such information, consistent with the policies and procedures set forth in the Privacy Notice on the HeartBeat.com.my Site.
Except for the license granted under this Section 2, you do not obtain any rights under this Agreement in any intellectual property, including, without limitation, any intellectual property with respect to the Special Links, link formats, technical specifications, guidelines or graphical artwork referenced above, or with respect to the HeartBeat.com.my domain name.

Further, you acknowledge and agree that you will:
(a) not, in connection with this Agreement, display or reference on your site, any trademark or logo of any third party seller on the HeartBeat.com.my Site;
(b) ensure that any “Privacy Information” link or HeartBeat trademark (either in logo or text form) that we include in a Special Link is not obscured or altered in any way or made invisible, illegible or indecipherable to visitors of your site;

We will process Product orders placed by customers who follow Special Links from your site to the HeartBeat.com.my Site. We reserve the right to reject orders that do not comply with any requirements that we periodically may establish. We will be responsible for all aspects of order processing and fulfillment. Among other things, we will prepare order forms, process payments, cancellations, and returns, and handle customer service. We will track sales made to customers who purchase Products by using Special Links from your site to HeartBeat.com.my Site and will make available to you reports summarizing this sales activity. The form, content, and frequency of the reports may vary from time to time in our discretion.
4. Referral Fees
We will pay you referral fees on certain Product sales to third parties. For a Product sale to be eligible to earn a referral fee, the customer must click-through a Special Link from your site to the HeartBeat.com.my Site, and add the Product to his or her shopping cart or purchase the Product via our 1-Click feature during a session. The session ends upon one of the following events:
(a) 24 hours elapses from the customer's initial click-through,
(b) the customer orders the Product, or
(c) the customer follows a third party's Special Link.
We will only pay referral fees on eligible Products after order, payment and shipping have occurred.
To permit accurate tracking, reporting and fee accrual, you must ensure that the Special Links between your site and the HeartBeat.com.my Site are properly formatted. We will not be liable for paying referral fees on purchases that are not correctly tracked and reported because the links between your site and the HeartBeat.com.my Site are not properly formatted.
We will not, however, pay referral fees on any Products that are added to a customer's Shopping Cart or are purchased via our 1-Click feature after the customer has reentered the HeartBeat.com.my Site (other than through a Special Link from your site), as determined by us, even if the customer previously followed a link from your site to the HeartBeat.com.my Site. In addition, gift certificates that are not redeemable on the HeartBeat.com.my Site are not eligible to earn referral fees.
You may not purchase products during sessions initiated through the links on your site for your own use, for resale or commercial use of any kind. This includes orders for customers or on behalf of customers or orders for products to be used by you or your friends, relatives, or associates in any manner. Such purchases may result in the withholding of referral fees and/or the termination of this Agreement. Products that are eligible to earn referral fees under the rules set forth above are referred to as "Qualifying Products."
In addition, you may not:
(a) directly or indirectly offer any person or entity any consideration or incentive (including, without limitation, payment of money (including any rebate), or granting of any discount or other benefit) for using Special Links on your site to access the HeartBeat.com.my Site (e.g., by implementing any "rewards" program for persons or entities who use Special Links on your site to access the HeartBeat.com.my Site);
(b) read, intercept, record, redirect, interpret, or fill in the contents of any electronic form or other materials submitted to us by any person or entity;
(c) in any way modify, redirect, suppress, or substitute the operation of any button, link, or other interactive feature of the HeartBeat.com.my Site;
(d) make any orders or subscription requests, or engage in other transactions of any kind on the HeartBeat.com.my Site on behalf of any third party, or authorize, assist, or encourage any other person or entity to do so;
(e) take any action that could reasonably cause any customer confusion as to our relationship with you, or as to the site on which any functions or transactions (e.g., search, order, browse, and so on) are occurring;
(f) other than providing Special Links on your site in accordance with this Agreement, post or serve any advertisements or promotional content promoting the HeartBeat.com.my Site or otherwise around or in conjunction with the display of the HeartBeat.com.my Site (e.g., through any "framing" technique or technology or pop-up or pop-under windows), or assist, authorize, or encourage any third party to take any such action;
(g) attempt to circumvent the referral fee schedule or artificially increase your referral fees (e.g. by intentionally featuring, purchasing or requesting or encouraging any third party to purchase low-price items offered on the HeartBeat.com.my Site (as determined by us) for the purpose of exceeding any referral fee threshold or by causing any page of the HeartBeat.com.my Site to open in a customer's browser other than as a result of the customer clicking on a Special Link on your site);
(h) attempt to intercept or re-direct (including, without limitation, via user-installed software) traffic from or on, or divert referral fees from, any web site that participates in the Program; or
5. Cash Out or Redemption
We will pay out your earning when you have requested to cash out. 1 HB!
The minimum amount of cash out is RM100. We directly deposit your earning into your bank account. However, you can choose to redeem our products with your accumulated earning. For those orders with HB!Affiliate earning, delivery fee will be waived.
6. Policies and Pricing
Customers who buy products through this Program will be deemed to be our customers. Accordingly, all of our rules, policies, and operating procedures concerning customer orders, customer service, and product sales will apply to those customers. We may change our policies and operating procedures at any time.
For example, we will determine the prices to be charged for products sold under this Program in accordance with our own pricing policies. Product prices and availability may vary from time to time. Because price changes may affect Products that you have listed on your site, your site may only show prices when we serve the link in which those prices are displayed.
In addition, if you choose to display prices for any Product on your site in any "comparison" format together with prices for the same or similar products offered through any web site or other outlet other than the HeartBeat.com.my Site, you must display both the lowest "new" price and, if we provide it to you, the lowest "used" price at which the Product is available on the HeartBeat.com.my Site.
You may not otherwise include price information in your Product descriptions. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to present accurate information, but we cannot guarantee the availability or price of any particular product.
7. Identifying Yourself as an Associate
You may not issue any press release with respect to this Agreement or your participation in the Program; such action may result in your termination from the Program.
We will make available to you a small graphic image that identifies your site as a Program participant. You must display this logo or the phrase "In association with HeartBeat" somewhere on your site. We may modify the text or graphic image of this notice from time to time. In addition, you may not in any manner misrepresent or embellish the relationship between us and you, or express or imply any relationship or affiliation between us and you or any other person or entity except as expressly permitted by this Agreement.
