THE FOLLOWING DESCRIBES THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS UPON WHICH THE INDIANA ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION (IEDC) OFFERS YOU PARTICIPATION WITHIN THE INDIANA ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION’S INDIANA ENTREPRENEUR AFFILIATE PROGRAM. BY APPLYING AND PARTICIPATING IN THE AFFILIATE PROGRAM, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS HEREIN. ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT CREATES A BINDING LEGAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND IEDC THAT YOU WILL USE THE WEBSITE, LINKS, INTERACTIVE CONTENT AND ALL OTHER PROPERTY OF IEDC ONLY IN A MANNER THAT IS CONSISTENT WITH THIS AGREEMENT.
This agreement ("Agreement") is by and between the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC), ("IEDC", "we" or "us" and "our" shall be construed accordingly) and you ("Affiliate" or "you" and "your" shall be construed accordingly) (each individually a "Party" and collectively the "Parties") as an online Affiliate in IEDC’s INDIANA ENTREPRENEUR Affiliate Program (the "Program") regarding the establishment of links from your affiliate web site ("your site" or "Affiliate site") to our web site, www.indianaentrepreneurship.com ("our site" or "IEDC"). For purposes of this Agreement, "our Website" also includes any www.in.gov Website operated by us other than www.indianaentreprenerurship.com.
1. Enrollment in the Affiliate Program
To begin the enrollment process, you shall submit a complete Affiliate Program application via our site. The Program is designed for participants aged 18 and above who can form legally binding contracts under applicable law. By accepting this Agreement and participating in the Program, you acknowledge that you are age 18 or above. We may reject your application if we determine (in our sole discretion) that your site is unsuitable for the Affiliate Program for any reason, including, but not limited to, inclusion of content that is in any way unlawful, harmful, threatening, defamatory, obscene, harassing, or racially, ethnically, or otherwise objectionable. If we reject your application, you are welcome to reapply to the Affiliate Program at any time subject to the removal of any content that may have been found objectionable to IEDC. You should also note that if we accept your application and your Website is thereafter determined (at our sole discretion) to be unsuitable for the Program, we may terminate this Agreement immediately without prior notice.
2. Promotion of Our Affiliate Relationship
As an Affiliate, we shall make available to you a variety of graphics, interactive content, and textual links (each of these links sometimes being referred to herein as "Links" or, individually, as a "Link"), which, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, you may display as often and in as many areas on your site as you desire. The Links shall serve to identify your site as a member of our INDIANA ENTREPRENEUR Affiliate Program and shall establish a link from your site to ours.
You also agree that you shall display on your site only those graphic or textual images indicating a Link ("IEDC Images") that are provided by us, and you shall reasonably substitute such IEDC Images as directed by us with any updated images provided by us from time to time throughout the term of this Agreement.
By loading or agreeing to have IEDC images loaded onto your site, you agree that you will cooperate fully with us and comply with this Agreement at all times in a manner consistent with our current policies including but not limited to our Content Policy and our policies regarding image resolution and proprietary notices, such as copyright and trademark notifications. All Links may be modified and/or expanded from time to time throughout the term of this Agreement pursuant to the mutual agreement of the parties hereto. Each Link connecting users of your site to our site shall in no way alter the look, feel, or functionality of our site.
3. Our Responsibilities
We shall be responsible for providing all information necessary to allow you to make appropriate Links from your site to our site.
4. Affiliate Responsibilities
a. If you qualify and agree to participate as an Affiliate Site, you may display Links in appropriate areas of your site as you see fit in a manner consistent with this Agreement.
b. You shall not use any existing or future software product or service (including, without limitation, any computer programming code that is an add-on or bundled with any browser or other host application) that will replace, insert, read, intercept, record, redirect, interpret, or fill in the contents of any electronic form or other materials submitted to IEDC by any other person or entity.
c. You shall not use any existing or future software product or service (including, without limitation, any computer programming code that is an add-on or bundled with any browser or other host application) that will replace, insert, read, intercept, record, redirect, interpret, append itself to, or otherwise intercept or interfere in any manner with any click-through or other traffic-based transaction that originated from any IEDC.

e. You shall not use any existing or future software product or service (including, without limitation, any computer programming code that is an add-on or bundled with any browser or other host application) that will replace, intercept, interfere, hinder, disrupt or otherwise alter in any manner a World Wide Web user’s access, view or usage of, or other aspect of such user’s experience at any Affiliate’s website in a manner that causes or otherwise results in a different experience from what was otherwise intended by such Affiliate. You shall not take any action that could reasonably cause any confusion to the user as to what website transactions or actions are occurring.
f. Except for linking as described above, you shall not post or serve any advertisements or promotional content around or in conjunction with the display of our site (e.g., through any "framing" technique or technology or pop-up windows), or assist, authorize, or encourage any third party to take any such action.
h. You understand that the use of unsolicited commercial e-mail ("spam") by IEDC INDIANA ENTREPRENEUR affiliates is absolutely prohibited. Your participation in the IEDC Affiliate Program constitutes your specific and unconditional agreement to abide by this anti-spam policy.
5. Relationship
If, at any time, we discover that you are using your affiliate relationship with us for any reason other than as mutually intended under this Agreement, your relationship with us may be immediately terminated without prior notice. If we are required to enforce the foregoing restriction, you will be obligated to reimburse us for any attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred in connection therewith.
