1. What is this?
a. In partnership with our friends at Sighet Networks LLC, we have built a shopping portal for anyone who shops online and is looking to support the fight against lupus in the process. By making all your purchases here, you ensure that a percentage of every purchase you make online goes to the Lupus Research Institute.
b. We have organized all your favorite retailers into one easy to use shopping portal. Please check back often for deals and promotions from our retail partners.

2. How does it work?
a. Utilizing online affiliate marketing, our retail partners can track where referrals come from. By clicking through our LRI portal before making a purchase, we get a referral fee thanks to you.
b. All you have to do is search for the product, the product category or specific retailer and click on their logo to start shopping. It is just like an online mall offering your favorite retailers. Please note that you MUST click through this portal for the retailer to credit us with the referral.

3. How much does it cost the shopper?
a. It costs you the user, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING with the exception of the cost of the item you are purchasing. So if you go through our portal to buy an item you were going to purchase anyway, not only will you get your purchase, but you will also be helping to fight lupus. So please shop around, but when you are ready to buy, please make one extra click through this portal first.

4. How much does it cost LRI?
a. One of the best parts of working with our partners at Sighet Networks LLC is that they charge our organization ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for this service. They recoup all their initial and ongoing administrative and technology costs through a combination of transaction fees and revenue sharing. It is a brand new revenue stream for LRI at no cost.

5. How often can I use it?
a. We recommend you use this portal for ALL YOUR ONLINE PURCHASES. Especially recurring purchases such as baby items, contact lenses, pet items and others you would need on a weekly/monthly basis. We recommend that you bookmark the portal as your shopping homepage.

6. What if I have a question about a product or service?
a. Our wonderful retail partners who have been so kind to join our fight will be happy to help you with any questions or issues you have. LRI is not responsible for returns or any products or services purchased as a result of clicking through our portal.
