PURCHASE AGREEMENT: DISCLAIMER AND TERMS OF USE AGREEMENT
Your electronic signature says you fully agree with all stated below.
Terms of Purchase Agreement must be electronically signed by You by checking the
electronic signature box found within my website and/or payment checkout process: I understand that the high-value
specialized information I am now purchasing for my own use, took years or even decades to gather and assemble into
workable systems of action. DOYLE CHAMBERS’ SYSTEMS HAVE ALWAYS ATTRACTED THE MOST SERIOUS INDIVIDUALS WHO
RECOGNIZE GENUINE HIGH-VALUE SYSTEMS. Unlike most greenhorn entrepreneurs, Doyle Chambers does not resort to
outlandish money-back guarantees and no such policy is expressed or implied. I completely agree that by purchasing
this high value information to better my own circumstances, it is not fair or possible to request or obtain a
refund of the purchase price. It is a well established industry standard - that music CDs, movie DVDs and computer
software have a no refund policy. It should also make sense that high value specialized information have a no
refund policy. I understand and agree that all orders are final after processing payment and cannot be canceled for
any reason. After processing your payment, you will be able to download any purchased product(s) through a download
link on the final download page. If you are unable to download the product(s) successfully through the download
page, then your order will be sent to you by email. If sending your order by email fails, then your order will be
sent to you by regular first class mail. I agree never to infringe upon Doyle Chambers’ copyrighted material by
giving away for free or selling at any price Doyle Chambers’ material to anyone, by any means, in part or as a
whole. I agree never to hold Doyle Chambers liable or bring suit upon Doyle Chambers and/or his Associates. If you
do, you agree to pay for all attorney fees of Doyle Chambers and to hold court in Hunt County, Texas. I agree that
I am buying as information only and no sales or income is due or promised. Your electronic signature says you fully
agree with all stated above.
You must be at least 18 years old to
participate with any of our programs, which in most places is the minimum legal age for making financial
agreements.
YOU GET PAID $50 ON ALL YOUR SALES FOR
THE SYSTEM 1 PRODUCT.
There are two different parts for System
1.
(1) The Distributorship and (2) The Product. The separate cost
for the System 1 Affiliate Income System Distributorship fee is $19. The separate cost for the System 1 product is
$50. Both of these costs combined total $69.
To comply with USA state laws, no commission is paid on the $19 System 1 Affiliate
Income System Distributorship fee. However, a one-time $50 commission is paid on personal sales for the $50 System
1 product itself. In addition, 40% commissions are paid on personal
sales for the other products offered within DoyleChambers.com Catalog Website.
All affiliates are encouraged to
UPGRADE themselves by purchasing Systems 8, 9, and 12 -- as soon as possible. Affiliates are UNQUALIFIED to earn 3-Level commissions on
personally sponsored people who UPGRADE into Systems 8, 9, and 12 BEFORE THEY UPGRADE THEMSELVES. 90-Day Enroller Benefit: Up to
90 days after an Affiliate purchases
System 8 themself, if they personally enroll someone who purchases Systems 8, 9, or 12 -- that said Affiliate will be
eligible to receive 3-level
commissions for Systems 8, 9, and 12 on that new enrollee. This 90-day time-period gives Affiliates a grace-time to
upgrade into System 9 and/or System 12
themselves, without losing potential 3-level commissions from personally sponsored new enrollees.
The Affilliate Income System (System 1)
pays 40% commissions to qualified affiliates on these included commissionable items: All "Informational Type Products" sold within
Doyle Chambers' Catalog. The Affilliate Income System (System 1) does not pay 40% commissions on these excluded items: All
"Service Type Products" such as
Website Creation products, System 2 Postage Stamp System, and All Mailing Lists.
In no way does this make me an employee
of Doyle Chambers, and I am responsible for my own Federal, State and Local Taxes. I understand that I am solely
responsible for my success in this program; that all commissions paid to me through Doyle Chambers are from the
sale of the product; that Doyle Chambers does not guarantee any specific earnings from the Affiliate Profits

amounts made or to be made are to be used to entice marketing participants.
Doyle Chambers’ other available systems
are optional. However, I can only earn dealer commissions on the specific System products I have actually
purchased myself. Unlike most illogical entrepreneurs, Doyle Chambers does not resort to outlandish money-back
guarantees and no such policy is expressed or implied. I understand and agree that all orders are final after
processing payment and cannot be cancelled for any reason. I agree that I am buying as information only and no
sales or income is due or promised.

Many consumers assume that a purchase made with a credit card guarantees the right to return a product. However,
as a small-business owner, I have the right to set my own refund policy. All purchases made through Doyle Chambers
website are final and there are no refunds. For customers who try to charge back their purchase, I win 100% of
those cases due to my clearly stated policy.
If it still states a “refund guarantee” on the sales letter, within the sales video, or within the product - it
no longer applies. I understand that some people won’t buy this product because there’s a no refund guarantee. This
product is only for those who appreciate the real value I’m providing. This really is a valuable step-by-step
product for a very reasonable price. By making a purchase on a Doyle Chambers website, you acknowledge you have
read and agree to the Doyle Chambers "No Refund" Policy" within this Purchase Agreement.
FTC Endorsement Compliance
a. It is the intent of Doyle Chambers to treat all of our customers fairly. Accordingly, we require
all Doyle Chambers' Affiliates to comply
with applicable laws, regulations and guidelines concerning advertising and marketing, including without
limitation,
the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Endorsement Guides which require that material connections
between advertisers and endorsers be disclosed. This means that all Affiliate Sites (e.g. directories,
review/rating
websites, blogs,and other websites) and any email or collateral that provide an endorsement or assessment
of
Doyle Chambers' Products and Services must prominently disclose the fact that you receive compensation for
Referred
Customers.
b. For more information and suggestions about how to comply with these guidelines, please see section below
entitled
"Affiliate Disclosure Requirements and Examples". Please note that this page is only intended to provide
guidance.
It does not purport to provide legal advice and it does not guarantee that you'll be in compliance with FTC
regulations
should you follow the suggestions presented. You are advised to seek and obtain your own legal advice on how
these
rules apply to your website or other promotional activities for which you receive compensation.
c. Doyle Chambers reserves the right to withhold Commission Fees and cancel the affiliate relationship with you
should we
determine, at our sole discretion, that you are not in compliance with the previously mentioned guide or
other FTC
regulations or guides that we deem relevant.
Affiliate Disclosure Requirements and Examples
In December 2009, the FTC released the Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and
Testimonials in Advertising. The guidelines requires that any affiliate who uses reviews, rankings or testimonials
to promote products or services must clearly disclose the fact that they receive compensation for doing so.
Commissions
All affiliates must disclose commercial relationships with businesses that appear on your
site (and how that affects the businesses' ranking) and clearly identify advertising and paid promotions. Review
sites should clearly state how reviews are composed and checked, and whether and how commission or conversion rates
influenced the presentations, including ratings or rankings.
The FTC has also published answers to Frequently Asked Questions applying these guidelines
directly to the context of Affiliate or Network Marketing, as follows:
What about affiliate or network marketing?
I'm an affiliate marketer with links to an online retailer on my website. When people read
what I've written about a particular product and then click on those links and buy something from the retailer, I
earn a commission from the retailer. What do I have to disclose? Where should the disclosure be?
If you disclose your relationship to the retailer clearly and conspicuously on your site,
readers can decide how much weight to give your endorsement.
In some instances - like when the affiliate link is embedded in your product review a single
disclosure may be adequate. When the review has a clear and conspicuous disclosure of your relationship and the
reader can see both the review containing that disclosure and the link at the same time, readers have the
information they need. You could say something like, "I get commissions for purchases made through links in this
post." But if the product review containing the disclosure and the link are separated, readers may lose the
connection.
As for where to place a disclosure, the guiding principle is that it has to be clear and
conspicuous. The closer it is to your recommendations, the better. Putting disclosures in obscure places - for
example, buried on an ABOUT US or GENERAL INFO page, behind a poorly labeled hyperlink or in a "terms of service"
agreement - isn't good enough. Neither is placing it below your review or below the link to the online retailer so
readers would have to keep scrolling after they finish reading. Consumers should be able to notice the disclosure
easily. They shouldn't have to hunt for it.
Is "affiliate link" by itself an adequate disclosure? What about a "buy now" button?
Consumers might not understand that "affiliate link" means that the person placing the link
is getting paid for purchases through the link. Similarly, a "buy now" button would not be adequate.
What if I'm including links to product marketers or to retailers as a convenience to my
readers, but I'm not getting paid for them?
Then there isn't anything to disclose.
Does this guidance about affiliate links apply to links in my product reviews on someone
else's website, to my user comments, and to my tweets?
Yes, the same guidance applies anytime you endorse a product and get paid through affilate
links.
It's clear that what's on my website is a paid advertisement, not my own endorsement or
review of the product. Do I still have to disclose that I get a commission if people click through my website to
buy the product?
If it's clear that what's on your site is a paid advertisement, you don't have to make
additional disclosures. Just remember that what's clear to you may not be clear to everyone visiting your site, and
the FTC evaluates ads from the perspective of reasonable consumers.
Doyle Chambers requires all affiliates to comply with these guidelines. Failure to do so may
result in removal from our affiliate program and the cancellation of commissions.
In order to comply with these guidelines disclosures about the fact that you are receiving
commissions made through links in your websites, for example, must meet four basic requirements. They must be
frequent, clear, conspicuous, and require no scrolling or other type of user action to locate the disclosure.
1. Frequent: Your disclosure must appear on every page that has a review, recommendation,
comment, or article that promotes
a product or service for which you receive compensation.
2. Clear: It must be immediately clear that you may receive compensation for your review or
rating. If commission or
conversion rates, or factors other than those listed in the body of the rankings, comparisons, or reviews
are determining or
significantly impacting the placement of brands or information on your webpages, then you must clearly state
this. Do not
promise or imply neutrality or independence where in fact commission/conversion is driving the editorial
presentation
of information. If you are receiving commissions from all of the listed brands, you may state this.
Consumers may
assume that factors which are important to their decisionmaking such as features or price are determining
the ratings.
If this is not the case, then you cannot be silent about the fact that your business incentives are driving
placement or
ratings.
Example of a clear Disclosure (and where each of the claims is verifiably true):
Disclosure: We are a professional review site that receives compensation from the companies
whose products we review.
We test each product thoroughly and give high marks to only the very best. We are independently owned and
the opinions
expressed here are our own.
Example of an Unclear disclosure:
Disclosure: We are a website that needs compensation to operate like any other website on
the internet. We may receive
consideration for our reviews but we are totally unbiased and do not accept paid reviews or fake claiming to
be something they
are not.
This "disclosure" is omitting the most important information: that a commission is paid for
purchases made through links in the
post, or that commission or conversion rates are influencing the placement or content of the rankings or
reviews.
3. Conspicuous: The disclosure must be clear and easy to see. It should begin with the word
“disclosure.” No scrolling should be
necessary in order to find the disclosure. Prominently display disclosures so they are noticeable to
consumers, and evaluate the
size, color, and graphic treatment of the disclosure in relation to other parts of the webpage.
For the disclosure to be considered conspicuous, the font should be:
- At least as large as the main text on the page
- In a color other than black or gray
- In contrast with both its background and the main text
- Darker than its background or the main text
Example of a conspicuous disclosure:
Welcome to Our Review Site!
Disclosure: We are a professional review site that receives compensation from the companies whose products
we review.
We tested and reviewed the products ranked here. We are independently owned and the opinions expressed
here
are our own.
4. Require No Action: Your disclosure must be immediately evident to a typical visitor to
your site who views a review, ranking or
endorsement on a PC, Mac, or mobile device. A visitor should not need to scroll or hover to learn that you
receive compensation.
If you do include a clickable link or additional information when a visitor hovers over
text, the language of the link itself should
reveal the fact that you receive compensation.
Example of a link that requires no action:
Disclosure: We are compensated for our reviews. Click here for details.
Keep this in mind: Simply telling the visitor that they can "Click/Hover here to read our
FTC disclosure" is not adequate. You need
to signal using plain words, such as "Advertising Disclosure" that the "disclosure" involves your receipt of
commissions and the
potential for editorial bias.
Consumer Reviews:
If you include consumer reviews or feedback about listed brands, then you must also adhere
to FTC Guidelines prohibiting the biased manipulation of consumer reviews.
Affiliates should not offer inducements to a customer in return for a positive review;
pretend to be a customer; or write fake reviews about their own or other businesses' goods or services.
You should ensure that advertising and paid promotions are clearly identifiable to readers
as paid-for content.
Affiliates displaying consumer reviews should clearly state how reviews are obtained and
checked; publish all reviews (including the negative ones) provided they are genuine and lawful; and explain the
circumstances in which reviews might be edited or not published at all (for instance if they include abusive
language or defamatory remarks).
You should also ensure that there is no unreasonable delay before publishing reviews, and
have appropriate procedures in place to detect and remove fake reviews.
All terms of this document equally applies to all other website
domains registered in the name of Doyle Chambers.
