PRIVACY POLICY
Last Updated: January 30, 2010
IndependentBaseballTryouts.net and Bullpen Marketing LLC (hereafter
"We" or "Us") aim to offer information conducive to your benefit. We
may use your personal information (your name, e-mail address, street
address, telephone number) subject to the terms of this privacy policy.
We dislike spam as much as you do and we will never sell, barter, or
rent your email address to any unauthorized third party; and we have
taken measures to make sure that you receive communications from us
only after you have given your approval.
How we gather information from users
How we collect and store information depends on the page you are
visiting, the activities in which you elect to participate and the
services provided. For example, you may be asked to provide information
when you register for access to certain portions of our site or request
certain features, such as newsletters or when you make a purchase. Like
most Web sites, we also collect information automatically and through
the use of electronic tools that may be not apparent to our visitors.
For example, we may log the name of your Internet Service Provider or
use cookie technology to recognize you and hold information from your
visit. As we adopt additional technology, we may also gather
information through other means. In certain cases, you can choose not
to provide us with information, for example by setting your browser to
refuse to accept cookies, but if you do you may be unable to access
certain portions of the site or may be asked to re-enter your user name
and password, and we may not be able to customize the site's features
according to your preferences.
What we do with the information we collect
Like other Web publishers, we collect information to enhance your visit
and deliver more individualized content and advertising. We respect
your privacy and do not share your information with anyone.
Aggregated Information (information that does not personally identify
you) may be used in many ways. For example, we may combine information
about your usage patterns with similar information obtained from other
users to help enhance our site and services (e.g., to learn which pages
are visited most or what features are most attractive). Aggregated
Information may occasionally be shared with our advertisers and
business partners. Again, this information does not include any
Personally Identifiable Information about you or allow anyone to
identify you individually. We may use Personally Identifiable
Information collected on this site to communicate with you about your
registration and customization preferences; our Terms of Service &
Privacy Policy & Anti-Spam Policy; additional services and products
offered by us, and other topics we think you might find of interest.
We will use your information only as permitted by law. In addition,
from time to time as we continue to develop our business, we may sell,
buy, merge or partner with other companies or businesses. In such
transactions, user information may be among the transferred assets. We
may also disclose your information in response to a court order, and at
other times when we believe we are reasonably required to do so by law,
as well as in connection with the collection of amounts you may owe to
us, and/or to law enforcement authorities whenever we deem it
appropriate or necessary. Please note we may not provide you with
notice prior to disclosure in such cases, and you agree we have no
obligation to do so.
Affiliated sites, linked sites and advertisements
We expect all partners, advertisers and affiliates to respect the
privacy of our users. Be aware, however, that third parties, including
our partners, advertisers, affiliates and other content providers,
accessible through our site, may have their own privacy and data
collection policies and procedures. For example, during your visit to
our site you may link to, or view as part of a frame on a web page,
certain content that is actually created or hosted by a third party.
Also, through us you may be introduced to, or be able to access,
information, Web sites, and features offered by other parties. We are
not responsible for the actions or policies of such third parties. You
should check the applicable privacy policies of those third parties
when providing information on a feature or page operated by a third
party.
While on our site, other features available on our site may offer
services operated by third parties and may use cookies or other
technology to gather information. We do not control the use of this
technology by third parties or the resulting information, and we are
not responsible for any actions or policies of such third parties.
You should also be aware that if you voluntarily disclose Personally
Identifiable Information on message boards or in chat areas, that
information can be viewed publicly and can be collected and used by
third parties without our knowledge and may result in unsolicited
messages from other individuals or third parties. Such activities are
beyond our control and this policy. You agree that you are solely
responsible for actions which you take on message boards and chat
rooms, and you exonerate us from any liability for those actions and
agree to indemnify and hold us harmless for the actions which you take.
Children's Privacy
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under
the age of 16. If we learn that we have personal information on a child
under the age of 16, we will delete that information willingly from our
systems. We encourage parents to go online with their kids. Here are a
few tips to help make a child's online experience safer:
Teach kids never to give personal information, including name, address,
phone, school, etc. unless supervised by a parent or responsible adult.
Know the sites your kids are visiting and which sites are appropriate.
Look for Web site privacy policies. Know how your child's information
is treated.
Check out the FTC's site:
http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/edcams/kidzprivacy/index.html for more
tips on protecting children's privacy online
Use protective features of the hardware and software on your and your
child’s computer.
Changes to this Policy
We reserve the right to change this policy at any time. Please check
this page periodically for changes to the policy. Your continued use of
our site following the posting of changes to these terms will mean you
accept those changes. Information collected prior to the time any
change is posted will be used according to the rules and laws that
applied at the time the information was collected.
Governing law
The laws governing this policy are the same as those found in the Terms
Of Use for this website.

GENERAL
The Terms of Use and other rules, guidelines, licenses and disclaimers

constitute the entire agreement between Bullpen and you with respect to
your access to or use of the Site, Materials and Services superseding
any prior agreements between you and Bullpen on such subject matter
(including any prior versions of the Terms of Use). Notwithstanding the

expressly contradict any terms of a written agreement between you and

Software-specific licenses) ("Executed Agreement"), such contradictory
terms set forth in the Executed Agreement shall govern. You may also be

granted hereunder without Bullpen’s prior written consent. If for
any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of the
Terms of Use, or portion thereof, to be unenforceable, that provision
shall be enforced to the maximum extent permissible so as to effect the
intent of the parties as reflected by that provision, and the remainder
of the Terms of Use shall continue in full force and effect. Any
failure by Bullpen to enforce or exercise any provision of the Terms of
Use or related right shall not constitute a waiver of that right or
provision. The section titles used in the Terms of Use are purely for
convenience and carry with them no legal or contractual effect.

AFFILIATES - AFFILIATE AGREEMENT
IndependentBaseballTryouts.net Affiliate Agreement, Anti-Spam Policy
And Earnings Disclaimer
To: All IndependentBaseballTryouts.net Affiliates
From: Bullpen Marketing LLC
Please read (do not skip) this affiliate agreement. This is because we
do not tolerate spam or abuse of the affiliate program in any manner.
If you break the rules, your Clickbank account will be shut down and
you agree that you will forfeit your earnings. Know the rules of this
agreement so that you can get your affiliate revenues in a timely
manner.
IndependentBaseballTryouts.net AFFILIATE AGREEMENT
This agreement describes the terms and conditions for participation in
the IndependentBaseballTryouts.net e-book Affiliate Program. In this
agreement, the term "Affiliate" refers to you (the applicant). In this
agreement, IndependentBaseballTryouts.net, Bullpen Marketing LLC, and
its members (or "Vendor") refers to the product owner and publisher,
IndependentBaseballTryouts.net which is owned by Bullpen Marketing LLC
(A Texas Limited Liability Corporation).
The Vendor affiliate program (www.IndependentBaseballTryouts.net) is
administered entirely through a 3rd party affiliate management company
called Clickbank (www.Clickbank.com).
To enroll in the affiliate program, all affiliates must sign up on the
Clickbank website. The Vendor affiliate program is governed by all
rules, regulations, terms and conditions dictated by Clickbank’s
"client contract." You can access Clickbank’s client contract at:
http://www.clickbank.com/terms.html
Affiliate Site
An affiliate account can be created by filling out and submitting the
Clickbank affiliate sign up form. Here is a link to that form:
http://indyball.jmap.clickbank.net
On that page, each new affiliate will be asked to choose a Clickbank
account name (also called a Clickbank affiliate "nickname"). This
account name/nickname will consist of 5 – 10 letters and numbers.
This Clickbank nickname will be used in the affiliate link which
Clickbank calls a "Hoplink." When a prospective customer clicks on your
affiliate Hoplink the destination website will be
http://www.IndependentBaseballTryouts.net.
Commissions
Unless noted elsewhere, you, as the affiliate, agree to receive 45% of
the revenue as a commission from orders placed through a properly-coded
Affiliate link, less the credit card processing fees & charges
outlined in the Clickbank Accounting Policy page. You can access the
link describing Clickbank’s Accounting Policies here:
https://www.clickbank.com/accounting.html
Commissions may change at the discretion of the product publisher,
Vendor. You may also receive announcements through the Affiliates
newsletter of any commission increases during limited promotions. The
commissions will return to the regular 45% commission rate after the
end of any special promotion.
For a sale to generate a commission to an Affiliate, the customer must
complete the order form and remit full payment for the product ordered
through the Clickbank secure order system. You will not receive any
commissions on "word of mouth" referrals, as Clickbank and Vendor will
have no way to quantify these sales. Commissions will only be paid on
sales that are made when the customer clicks through qualified,
correctly structured Affiliate links. Properly coded links are the sole
responsibility of the affiliate. Clickbank offers real-time reporting,
and you may check your account at any time by going to
https://www.clickbank.com/login.htm and then checking your account
reports.
Payment
Clickbank will send a check to you for the applicable commissions
within the framework of their payment policies:
www.Clickbank.com/paychecks.html. If any order that generated an
affiliate commission is returned by the customer, or if there are any
returned checks or charge backs, the amount will be deducted by
Clickbank from the next payment due to the affiliate. Please read
Clickbank’s policy for any check processing fees as well which
will deducted from any checks sent to you by Clickbank.
Order Fulfillment
Clickbank will be solely responsible for processing every e-book order
placed by a customer on the Affiliate Site. You and all other
Affiliates are not authorized to collect payments or sell any Vendor
products from other websites as a "reseller" and no "resale" rights are
granted in any manner. You, as an Affiliate, are not authorized to sell
any of these products on eBay or other auction sites. You are not
authorized to give away copies of any of the e-books, reports,
newsletters, mini-courses, etc. Vendor will also be solely responsible
for all customer service inquires. All affiliates understand and
acknowledge that no physical products will be shipped. Vendor’s
products are only in digital format; and they only are available
through download from - or to be sent to the customer electronically by
- Vendor.
Customers
Customers who purchase products and services through the Affiliate
Program will be deemed to be customers of the Vendor. Accordingly, all
rules, policies, and operating procedures concerning customer orders
and service will apply to those customers. We may change our policies
and operating procedures at any time. Prices and availability of our
products and services may vary from time to time. Vendor’s
policies will always determine the price paid by the customer for any
materials created by Vendor.
Use of Vendor (www.IndependentBaseballTryouts.net) E-mail addresses
It is prohibited and illegal to use the vendor's
(IndependentBaseballTryouts.net) email addresses in any way. For
example, if you enter the vendor's email address (e.g.
info@IndependentBaseballTryouts.net) into any online web form (example,
to submit classifieds, links or advertisements), or if you send out
mail with a reply address that is not yours, but is the vendor's (e.g.
info@IndependentBaseballTryouts.net), this is not only a violation of
the affiliate agreement which will result in termination of your
Clickbank account and forfeiture of commissions, it is also unlawful
and can result in litigation against you.
Use of Vendor and Vendor Intellectual Property In Domain Names
IndependentBaseballTryouts.net and all books, reports, newsletters,
logos, e-book covers, banner ads, etc are registered copyrights of
Vendor. It is illegal to register or use these copyrights in a domain
name for any reason without the express written permission of Vendor.
It is considered infringement to use this intellectual property in
domain names or in advertisements for the purposes of promoting or
advertising any products other than the Vendor e-book.
Use of Vendor and Vendor Intellectual Property in Pay-Per-Click (PPC)
Advertising And Other Advertising
IndependentBaseballTryouts.net and books, reports, newsletters, logos,
e-book covers, banner ads, etc. are registered copyrights of Vendor. It
is illegal to use any of this intellectual property in any
Pay-Per-Click Advertising, including, but not limited to,
Google’s AdWords service, for the purpose of promoting any
product other than IndependentBaseballTryouts.net.
Banner Advertisements And Other Graphic Advertisements
Affiliates of Vendor may not design and publish their own banner ads,
e-Book covers, pop-up ads, or other graphic advertisements without
first getting the approval of Vendor. Vendor, however, welcomes the
submission of creative graphic advertising for approval; and we will
even work together with affiliates to jointly develop new, custom
graphics, e-book covers, banners or other creative graphic advertising.
Affiliates are responsible for all expenses related to creation of
their own custom graphic advertisements. You must get approval from us
before creating and publishing new banner ads and other graphic
advertisements to be posted on any website, blog, or any other
marketing material both online or in print.
Qualifying Sites
Clickbank.com and Vendor reserve the right to refuse any entry into the
Affiliate Program based on site content. Sites that do not qualify for
the Affiliate Program include sites which:
· Promote sexually explicit materials
· Promote violence
· Promote discrimination based on race, sex, religion,
nationality, disability, sexual orientation, or age
· Promote illegal activities
· Infringe or otherwise violate any copyright, trademark, or
other intellectual property rights
· Target children under the age of 16
CLICKBANK.COM AND VENDOR ANTI-SPAM POLICY
Clickbank and Vendor strictly prohibit their affiliates from using spam
e-mail and other forms of Internet abuse (including "forum spam" and
"blog spam") to seek sales. Our anti-spam policy is not limited to the
"CAN-SPAM" laws or any other outside agency's definition of spam. The
CAN-SPAM policy can be found on the FTC website:
http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/buspubs/canspam.htm
Please note "spam" may be defined by Clickbank.com and Vendor as ANY
unsolicited e-mail or marketing communications and/or any e-mail or
marketing communications that generate complaints deemed excessive or
unacceptable to Vendor or Clickbank.com or which could harm the
reputation or business of Vendor or Clickbank.com. By promoting the
Vendor affiliate program, you agree and understand that spam may be
defined as including, but is not limited to ANY of the following:
· Electronic mail messages addressed to a recipient with whom
the sender does not have an existing business or personal relationship
or is not sent at the request of, or with the express consent of, the
recipient through an opt in subscription.
· Messages posted to Usenet, forums and message boards that are
off-topic (unrelated to the topic of discussion), cross-posted to
unrelated newsgroups, posted in excessive volume, or posted against
forum/message board rules. Be conscious of forum rules! If a forum
owner or moderator complains that an affiliate has spammed, the
affiliate account may be permanently terminated after investigation.
· Content posted on free blog websites, especially multiple blog
websites that are not updated and are used for the sole purpose of
keyword spamming, or comments posted to legitimate blogs that violate
the comment policy of the blog owner.
· Solicitations posted to chat rooms, or to groups or
individuals via Internet Relay Chat or "Instant Messaging" system (such
as ICQ);
· Certain off-line activities that, while not considered Spam,
are similar in nature, including distributing flyers or leaflets on
private property or where prohibited by applicable rules, regulations,
or laws.
· Any spam-related violations of social networking websites such
as MySpace, Yahoo 360, LinkedIn, etc.
Vendor, in conjunction with Clickbank.com, may undertake, at its sole
discretion and with or without prior notice, the following enforcement
actions:
Account Termination: Upon the receipt of a credible complaint, and
after investigation, Vendor may immediately contact Clickbank.com to
investigate the complaint, and if necessary, will then request or
approve termination of the affiliate account of the individual
implicated in the abuse. Termination results in the immediate closure
of the Clickbank account, the loss of all referrals, and the forfeiture
of any unpaid money on account. At Clickbank’s sole discretion,
termination may not only result in being banned from the Vendor
affiliate program, but also being banned from ANY other Clickbank
affiliate programs.
If you wish to report a violation of our Anti-Spam Policy, please
forward all relevant evidence to our customer service department
(info@IndependentBaseballTryouts.net).

upon any sales figures we provide, you must accept the risk of not
doing as well.

or business in any documents from us (such as an affiliates newsletter
or an affiliate marketing piece) those persons or business have earned
that amount. There is no assurance you will earn the same amount. If
