ELLEN GEE Franchise Terms

The ELLEN GEE Affiliate System uses Caspervend with servers on multiple sims.

Be aware that buying ELLEN GEE Affiliate Vendors doesn’t guarantee you any success. You have to carefully select shop locations and advertise them, take care of their appearance, and generate customer retention. If your intention is to make easy money without work, I recommend not to buy ELLEN GEE Affiliate Vendors, because they're too expensive for that kind of business attitude – you’d likely become disappointed. Your shops live and die with your passion. 

To start, you have to buy the franchise kit, and will receive any updates via Caspervend without additional payments ever.

Delivery Issues

If you didn’t receive a Franchise Kit update, just visit my in-world store and use the redelivery terminal.

If one of your customers has delivery issues with my servers, please send me a message with all necessary information so I can take care of it.

I will not redeliver if I can't find the transaction in my logs.

How does it work? How much can I earn?

Regular ELLEN GEE Affiliate Vendors give you 50% commission. The split takes place immediately after purchase: The vendor object accepts a payment on your behalf, pays a small fee to the vendor system provider and then pays 50% of the net amount to Lava Babii.

Operation Rules

Keeping the aspect ratio

Since 1.9 the vendors have modify permission to allow you to adapt them better into your shop. However, you MUST maintain the aspect ratio of the images of 4:3, which is best achieved by a vendor aspect ration of 5:4 (e.g. 2 x 1.6 meters, 3 x 2.4 etc.) I'm claiming the right to deactivate any vendor that distorts the carefully and costly prepared vendor images.

Competition Protection Policy

Avoid direct competition with another ELLEN GEE reseller (same mall etc.). I will NOT get into arguments with my partners, but in extreme cases resellers can be removed from all further updates. I will also consider disabling their vendors. 

Activity

If a partner abandons his or her vendors and isn't responding to customer inquiries, I claim the right to disable them.

Respect the sim rating

You (and only you) are responsible to respect the sim rating when placing ELLEN GEE vendors. It’s in your resposibility to cover mature parts as needed with prims at non-adult sims. 

Integrity of ELLEN GEE Franchising

We will never actively approach franchisee’s customers to lead them to our shop. I do only operate a flagship store on my land, and will not rent other stores anywhere on the grid, hence will not directly compete with our franchisees.

How to apply and how to get trouble

You start ELLEN GEE Franchise business by buying the most current Franchise Kit. Any further updates are free of charge. Now for the nasty part: Any violation of the terms above may result in disabling your vendors without any refund, 

And after all: It’s only Second Life. Rules enforcement in Second Life has its limits, and most of us are only here to have a good time, including me, so don’t give me a hard time please.
