Operating Agreement for Resellers
This Agreement contains the complete terms and conditions that apply to an individual's or entity's participation in the F1GLOBAL.ORG Resellers Program (the "Program"). As used in this Agreement, "we" means Alyvon LTD, and "you" means the applicant. "Site" means a World Wide Web site and, depending on the context, refers either to F1GLOBAL.ORG's site, located at the URL www.F1GLOBAL.ORG, or to any site that you will link to our site (and which you will identify in your Program application).
- Enrollment in the Program
To begin the enrollment process, you will submit a complete Program application via our site. We will evaluate your application in good faith and will notify you of your acceptance or rejection. We may reject your application if we determine (in our sole discretion) that your site is unsuitable for the Program. Unsuitable sites include those that:
- promote sexually explicit materials
- promote violence
- promote discrimination based on race, sex, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation, or age
- promote illegal activities
- include "F1 global," any other trademark of Alyvon Ltd or its affiliates, or variations or misspellings of any of them, in their URLs to the left of the top-level domain name (e.g., ".com", ".net", ".uk", etc.) -- for example, a URL such as "F1GLOBAL.mydomain.com", "f1glabol.com" or "f1globalauctions.net" would not be acceptable
- otherwise violate intellectual property rights
By participating in the Program you agree that you will not engage in any such activities. If we reject your application, you are welcome to reapply to the Program at any time. You should also note that if we accept your application and your site is thereafter determined (in our sole discretion) to be unsuitable for the Program, we may terminate this Agreement.
- Links on Your Site
Once you have been notified that your site has been accepted into the Program, you may provide the following type of link to our site:

Therefore, you agree that we and our corporate affiliates may take such actions and that you will not seek to block or otherwise interfere with such crawling or monitoring (and that we and our corporate affiliates may use technical means to overcome any methods used on your site to block or interfere with such crawling or monitoring).
Further, you acknowledge and agree that you will: (a) not, in connection with this Agreement, display or reference on your site, any trademark or logo of any third party seller on the f1global.org site; (b) use any data, images, text, or other information obtained by you from us or our site in connection with this Agreement ("Content") only in a lawful manner; (c) not use any Content relating to any Excluded Merchant or any product sold by any Excluded Merchant; (d) not modify or alter any Content that consists of a graphic image, other than to resize it; (e) not edit any Content that consists of text, other than to shorten its length; (f) not sell, redistribute, sublicense or transfer any Content; (g) not use any Content in a manner intended to send sales to any site other than the Amazon.com site; and (h) promptly delete any Content that is no longer displayed on the Amazon.com site or that we notify you is no longer available for your use.
