PLEASE READ THIS MARKETING AFFILIATE PROGRAM AGREEMENT CAREFULLY.

This is a contract between you (the “Affiliate”) and us https://visaexpress.us.com/ (“VisaExpress”). This contract describes how we will work together and other aspects of our business relationship. It is a legal document so some of the language is necessarily in “legalese” form, we have tried, however, to make it as readable as possible.

The Marketing Affiliate Program Agreement applies to your participation in our Marketing Affiliate Program (the “Affiliate Program”). These terms are so important that you cannot participate in our Affiliate Program unless you agree to them.

VisaExpress, in its sole and absolute discretion, may change or modify this Agreement, and any policies or agreements which are incorporated herein, at any time, and such changes or modifications shall be effective immediately upon posting to the VisaExpress website (this "Site"). You acknowledge and agree that (i) VisaExpress may notify you of such changes or modifications by posting them to this Site and (ii) your use of this Site or the Services found at this Site after such changes or modifications have been made (as indicated by the "Last Revised" date at the top of this page) shall constitute your acceptance of this Agreement as last revised. If you do not agree to be bound by this Agreement as last revised, do not use (or continue to use) this Site or the Services found at this Site. In addition, VisaExpress may occasionally notify you of changes or modifications to this Agreement by email.
