by Dream Hunts, LLC. Any Outfitter that offers hunting services and who wants to
access the Site and use the Services to give away hunts in an effort to gain marketing
exposure to prospective hunting clients must accept the terms and conditions of
this Participation Agreement without change. BY REGISTERING FOR AND USING THE SERVICES
AS A PARTICIPATING OUTFITTER, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ALL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
OF THIS PARTICIPATING OUTFITTER AGREEMENT, AND ALL POLICIES AND GUIDELINES OF THE
SITE ARE INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE.
1. Eligibility. Use of the Site and Services is limited to those
outfitters in North America offering hunting services that are willing to make available
at least one hunt per year to be given away to MyDreamHunts.com™’s members
or other visitors to the Site. To register, Participating Outfitter must complete
all of the information found in the online Participating Outfitter Registration
Form that is indicated as “required” information. This includes details
on the hunt that Participating Outfitter would like to make available for give away.
If all of the “required” information on that form is not completed,
your registration as a Participating Outfitter will not be accepted. The person
registering on behalf of the Participating Outfitter represents that he or she has
all requisite right, power and authority to enter into this Participation Agreement
and perform the Participating Outfitter’s obligations hereunder.
2. MyDreamHunts.com™’s Role and Obligations. MyDreamHunts.com™
provides a platform for outfitters offering hunting services to market their hunting
services to the general public and MyDreamHunts.com™’s members by making
available at least one hunt to be given away per year to MyDreamHunts.com™’s
members or visitors to the Site. The Participating Outfitter is simply making the
hunt available to be given away and is allowing MyDreamHunts.com™ to facilitate
the give away of those hunts (i) by use of a random computerized selection process,
for the hunts to be given away daily, (ii) by use of a computerized tracking process
for those hunts to be given away at various frequencies to those MyDreamHunts.com™’s
members voted by the other MyDreamHunts.com™’s members to have the best
hunting picture, the best hunting video, the best hunting story and (iii) by use
of a computerized tracking process for those hunts to be given away to the members
with the most friends that join MyDreamHunts.com™ within a specified period
of time.
In exchange for the Participating Outfitter agreeing to make available for give
away at least one hunt every twelve (12) months and the other obligations set forth
in Paragraph 3 below:
a. MyDreamHunts.com™ will share among all of the Participating
Outfitters up to thirty percent (30%) of the revenues generated from advertising as further discussed and specified in Paragraph 3.a below.
b. Participating Outfitters will be able to share any of their
special offers to MyDreamHunts.com™ Members in our “Outfitter’s
Specials” section. This will allow the Participating Outfitter to reach our
entire membership anytime the Participating Outfitter has something special to offer
the Members.
c. Participating Outfitters will have their own Hunt Swap Page
that will allow the Participating Outfitters to swap hunts with each other.
3. Participating Outfitter’s Obligations.
a. By agreeing to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Participating
Outfitter agrees to make available for give away at least one hunt every twelve
(12) month period starting with the date you first enter a hunt to give away on
the Participating Outfitter’s Profile Page. The Participating Outfitter will
need to add another hunt to be give away before the end of the twelve (12) month
period in order to stay in “Active Status.” The Participating Outfitter’s
account will remain in Active Status and it will continue to receive checks from
the Member Dues Revenue Pool without interruption for twelve (12) months from date
of the last registered hunt based on the cumulative value of the hunts it has made
available to give away in the last twelve (12) months. All Participating Outfitters
will share in twenty-five percent (25%) of the Advertising Revenue Pool, as calculated
by the MyDreamHunts.com™ database system at the end of each month. Each Participating
Outfitter’s proportion of the twenty-five percent (25%) of the Advertising
Revenue Pool will be calculated on the last day of each month (hereinafter “Calculation
Date”) by taking the value of the hunts made available to be given away by
each Participating Outfitter during the twelve (12) month period prior to each Calculation
Date and dividing that amount by the total value of the hunts made available to
be given away by ALL Participating Outfitters during the twelve (12) month period
prior to each Calculation Date. Those Participating Outfitters who registered and
made a hunt available to be given away before the Official Launch Date (July 18,
2009) of the MyDreamHunts.com™ website became “Founding Participating
Outfitters” and will exclusively, as a group, share in an additional five
percent (5%) of the Advertising Revenue Pool.
Checks will be sent to all Participating Outfitters who are in “Active Status”
no later than the 10th day after the first full month that MyDreamHunts.com™ begins receiving advertising revenue. If a Participating Outfitter’s
account goes into “Inactive Status” due to its failure to make a hunt
available to give away before the end of the twelve (12) month period since its
last hunt was made available to give away, such Participating Outfitter will no
longer be eligible to receive its proportion of the Advertising Revenue Pool. Any
Founding Participating Outfitter that allows its account to go into “Inactive
Status” due to its failure to make a hunt available to give away before the
end of the twelve (12) month period since its last hunt was made available to give
away will permanently loose its status as a Founding Participating Outfitter and
will no longer be eligible to receive any revenue from the additional five percent
(5%) of the Advertising Revenue Pool exclusively reserved for Founding Participating
Outfitters. Should the outfitter re-register or be allowed to return to Active Status,
the Participating Outfitter will then be allowed to receive a proportion of the
twenty-five percent (25%) portion of the Advertising Revenue Pool.
b. Each Hunt that the Participating Outfitter makes available for
give away must have a minimum value of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00). Participating
Outfitter will be only be obligated to give away the services normally provided
by the outfitter, which excludes transportation and hunting license costs. The value
and duration of hunt must be equal to the Participating Outfitter’s advertised
hunt value and duration. There shall be no inflation of hunt values or reductions
in hunt durations from the Participating Outfitter’s published hunts.
c. The Participating Outfitter agrees to provide a fifteen percent
(15%) discount to all MyDreamHunts.com™’s members on all of the Participating
Outfitter’s hunting services. Participating Outfitter will have the ability
to search and confirm a member’s status before committing to provide a MyDreamHunts.com™
member with such discount.
d. By entering into this Participation Agreement and posting a
hunt to be given away, Participating Outfitter agrees to complete the give away
of that hunt detailed in the Participating Outfitter online registration form and
as described by this Participation Agreement. Participating Outfitter acknowledges
that by not fulfilling these obligations, Participating Outfitter’s action
or inaction may be legally actionable. Participating Outfitter agrees to treat the
MyDreamHunts.com™’s winner of the Participating Outfitter’s give
away hunt, regardless whether such hunt was the actual hunt won by the winner or
was a hunt won by one MyDreamHunts.com™ member winner and swapped with another
MyDreamHunts.com™’s member winner, in the same manner and in the same
priority as any of Participating Outfitter’s paying customers.
