Local Links

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern participation in the Local Links referral incentive program (the “Program”), operated by Local Links (Brian Fife d/b/a Local Links) (“Company,” “we,” or “our”). Any individual, business, or organization that enrolls in the Program is referred to as a “Participant.”

These Terms constitute a binding legal agreement between the Company and each Participant. By completing the Program enrollment form and submitting it electronically, you represent that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not enroll.

These Terms are effective as of the date you submit your enrollment and supersede any prior oral or written representations regarding the Program.

To participate in the Program, you must:

• (a)Be at least 18 years of age;
• (b)Be an individual, business, or organization operating within Los Angeles County or an adjacent county in the state of California; and
• (c)Complete the Program enrollment form in full.

The Company reserves the right to decline or revoke enrollment for any Participant who does not meet these requirements or who the Company determines, in its sole discretion, is not a suitable fit for the Program.

Participants promote Local Links opportunities using referral codes, links, or forms provided by the Company. A “Qualified Referral” is any event booking or ticket purchase that is tracked and attributed to the Participant through the Company’s CRM system within the applicable attribution window described in Section 4.

Commissions apply to each Qualified Referral, including repeat purchases by the same customer, provided those purchases are traceable to the Participant’s referral within the attribution window.

Company records are authoritative. The Company’s CRM and tracking records are the sole authoritative source for determining whether a referral qualifies for commission. In the event of a dispute, the Company’s records will govern. The Company is not responsible for referrals that are not trackable due to technical failures on the Participant’s end, user browser settings that block tracking, or any other circumstance outside the Company’s control.

FTC Disclosure Requirement. When promoting the Program, Participants must clearly and conspicuously disclose their financial relationship with Local Links in any public communication, post, or endorsement, as required by the Federal Trade Commission’s Endorsement Guides (16 C.F.R. Part 255). Failure to make required disclosures may result in immediate termination from the Program and forfeiture of unpaid commissions.

Incentive Rate. Participants earn an incentive equal to 33% of the Company’s net revenue share from each Qualified Referral. “Net revenue share” means the portion of revenue the Company actually receives from the event or purchase after deducting amounts paid to venues, performers, platforms, or other parties. Commissions are not calculated on the full ticket price or total customer payment.

Attribution Window. Commissions are tracked from the date of the Participant’s first qualifying referral activity and apply to purchases made within 90 days of that date. Purchases made after the 90-day window will not generate a commission for that referral.

Payout Threshold and Schedule. Payouts are issued once a Participant has earned at least $250 in incentives, or at the end of each calendar year, whichever comes first. If a Participant terminates their participation before reaching the $250 threshold, any earned but unpaid balance will be paid out within 45 days of termination, regardless of amount.

Payment Method. Payment will be made via Venmo to the account provided at signup, or via another method mutually agreed upon in writing if Venmo is unavailable or unsuitable.

Taxes. Participants are independent contractors and are solely responsible for reporting and paying any applicable taxes on their earnings. The Company will issue applicable tax forms, including Form 1099, as required by law.

If the Participant is a business with employees, the Company expects that incentives earned under this Program will primarily benefit the employees who contribute to referrals, rather than being retained solely by ownership. This expectation does not apply to sole owner-operators with no employees.

The Company reserves the right to request reasonable documentation confirming compliance with this expectation and to terminate a business Participant’s enrollment if it determines, in its sole discretion, that this expectation is not being met.

Participants may not:

• (a)Promote Local Links through spam, unsolicited communications, or any method that violates the CAN-SPAM Act or applicable state law;
• (b)Make false, misleading, or unsubstantiated claims about Local Links, its partners, events, or the Program;
• (c)Submit fraudulent or self-referrals;
• (d)Fail to make required FTC endorsement disclosures as described in Section 3; or
• (e)Engage in any conduct that violates applicable federal, state, or local law.

Violation of any restriction in this Section may result in immediate termination from the Program and forfeiture of all earned but unpaid commissions.

Participant agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Local Links, its principals, employees, agents, and affiliates from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from or related to: (a) Participant’s promotion of the Program in violation of these Terms; (b) Participant’s failure to make required FTC disclosures; (c) Participant’s violation of any applicable law; or (d) any fraudulent or unauthorized activity by Participant in connection with the Program.

The Program is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind, express or implied. Neither party warrants that referral activity will produce any particular result. Local Links’ total liability under these Terms will not exceed the total incentives actually earned and paid to the Participant. The Company is not responsible for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages of any kind.

Participation in the Program does not create any partnership, joint venture, employment, or agency relationship between the Participant and Local Links. Participants have no authority to bind the Company to any obligation.

Local Links may modify or terminate the Program at any time by providing at least 14 days written notice via email to the address on file. Material changes to compensation structure will be communicated in advance and will not apply retroactively to Qualified Referrals already completed.

Participants may terminate their participation at any time by sending written notice to yourlocallinks@gmail.com. Any earned but unpaid incentives at the time of termination will be paid pursuant to Section 4.

The parties agree to attempt to resolve any dispute informally by contacting the Company at yourlocallinks@gmail.com before initiating any formal proceeding. If a dispute cannot be resolved informally within 30 days, it shall be submitted to binding arbitration conducted in accordance with the American Arbitration Association (AAA) Commercial Dispute Resolution Rules and procedures, as modified by these Terms.

The arbitration shall take place in Los Angeles, California. This agreement evidences a transaction in interstate commerce and this arbitration provision shall be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the US Federal Arbitration Act. The arbitrator may not award relief in excess of or contrary to what these Terms provide, order consolidation or class arbitration, or award punitive or exemplary damages. Any arbitration shall be confidential and neither party may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration except as required by law or for purposes of enforcement of the arbitration award. Judgment on any arbitration award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to the Program or these Terms must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose, or be forever barred. If any portion of this arbitration clause is determined by a court to be inapplicable or invalid, the remainder shall still be given full force and effect.

Neither party shall be deemed in default of these Terms if prevented from performing any obligation due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including without limitation acts of God, war, civil commotion, fire, flood, labor difficulties, governmental restrictions, or unusually severe weather. In any such event, the affected party shall notify the other promptly and the parties agree to act in good faith to preserve their respective rights and obligations under these Terms to the extent reasonably practicable.

Neither party may assign any of its rights or obligations under these Terms without the prior written consent of the other party. Any purported assignment without such consent shall be void. These Terms shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns.
