7. Payment for Valid Actions.
Company shall only be obligated to pay Affiliate for Valid Actions (as
defined below) if and when Company is able to collect the corresponding
amount from the applicable Advertiser(s). The amount that Company shall
pay Affiliate for each Valid Action shall be set forth in the applicable
Campaign Terms; provided,
however,that Company reserves the right to change
the payout amounts upon email notice to Affiliate at any time. Affiliate
will typically be paid pursuant to the payment schedule set forth in the

Action is a lead, that Action will be deemed a Valid Action where the
subject lead: (a) submitted by Affiliate contains all of the Required
Lead Data Fields, as validly submitted by an individual; and (b) is not
a Duplicate Lead, Invalid Action or Fraudulent Action (as those terms
are defined below). For purposes of the Agreement, a “Duplicate Lead” means a lead submitted by
Affiliate to Company that reproduces all or substantially all of the
uniquely identifying data of an individual already in Company’s and/or
the applicable Advertiser’s database. For purposes of the Agreement, an
“Invalid Action” means a
sale or other Action that is generated in connection with a violation of
any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement or any Campaign Terms
including, without limitation, where Affiliate modified the Creative,
used non-approved creative material and/or non-approved Affiliate Media,
as determined by Company in its reasonable discretion. For purposes of
the Agreement, a “Fraudulent Action” means an Action generated by Affiliate that is the product of
incentivized marketing, fraud or manipulation of information on the part
of Affiliate and/or any of its Sub-Affiliates. For purposes of the
Agreement, a “Valid Action” means an Action that is not a Duplicate Lead, Invalid
Action or Fraudulent Action. The number of Valid Actions for billing
purposes shall be determined based on Company’s tracking and reporting,
which determination shall be final and binding upon the Parties.
Affiliate agrees that it shall not modify, circumvent, impair, disable
or otherwise interfere with any tracking codes and/or other technology
and/or methodology required or made available by Company to be used in
connection with any Creative.
Company may take legal action and reserves the
absolute right to withhold payment from accounts for Affiliates that
violate any of the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement, as
determined by Company in its reasonable discretion. In addition, for any
chargebacks, bad debt, consumer refunds and/or where Company refunds any
Advertiser for Actions generated by Affiliate (collectively,
“Chargebacks”), Affiliate
shall refund any associated amounts paid by Company to Affiliate for
such Actions, or Company may offset same from amounts otherwise then due
and owing to Affiliate hereunder. If Company determines that Affiliate’s
number of Chargebacks is excessive, Company reserves the right to
immediately terminate the Agreement upon written notice (with e-mail
sufficing as written notice). Any Affiliate dispute regarding payment
(“Payment Dispute”)
must be made within thirty (30) days from the date that the subject
invoice is initially sent to Affiliate. If Affiliate does not provide a
written dispute to Company regarding payment or the payment terms within
such time period, Affiliate will have waived the right to bring an
action regarding a Payment Dispute. Affiliate agrees to pay all sales,
use, excise and other taxes which may be levied upon either party in
connection with the Agreement, except for income taxes associated with
Company’s income.
8. Rejection of Actions. Where
Company suspects that an Action generated by Affiliate is not a Valid
Action (collectively, “Bad Actions”), Company shall notify Affiliate thereof. If Affiliate
receives notice of a Bad Action from Company, the Parties shall
investigate such Action and seek to resolve the matter in good faith
within ten (10) business days of Affiliate’s receipt of notice thereof.
If the Parties acting together in good faith determine that such Action
was a Valid Action, then no further action shall be taken. If the
investigation reveals that the Action was not a Valid Action, Affiliate
shall refund Company (within thirty (30) days of such determination) for
the fees associated with the subject Bad Action where Company has
already paid for it or, in the alternative, Company’s payment
obligations shall be excused with respect to such Bad Action where
Company has not yet made payment. Where the Parties cannot agree,
Company’s determination shall control in all respects.
9. Ownership. Following delivery
of the consumer data associated with the applicable Actions
(collectively, “Consumer Data”), as between Affiliate and Company, Company shall have
the sole and exclusive ownership of the posted Actions and associated
Consumer Data and Affiliate shall not: (a) transfer, license, rent, sell
or otherwise distribute any such Consumer Data to any third party; or
(b) use such Consumer Data on its own behalf in any manner without
obtaining the prior express written consent of Company in each instance.

commence on the Effective Date and continue for a period of twelve (12)
months (“Initial Term”).

may terminate the Agreement at any time during the Term, with or without
cause, upon two (2) business days’ prior written notice to the other
Party. Either Party may terminate the Agreement immediately upon written
notice if the other Party materially breaches the Agreement.
11. Representations and Warranties. Each Party represents and warrants to the other Party
that: (a) it has the full corporate right, power and authority to enter
into the Agreement, to grant the licenses granted hereunder and to

the right of consumers to access, modify and delete their respective
Consumer Data records, including Affiliate’s policies regarding
compelling third parties with which Affiliate has shared Consumer Data
to honor same.
13. Audit. Affiliate agrees
that, at all times during the term of the Agreement, it shall maintain
accurate books and records relating to its generation of Actions
hereunder. Affiliate agrees that Company, or any designee of Company
that is legally bound to obligations of confidentiality and
non-disclosure, shall have the right during the term of the Agreement,
and for three (3) months thereafter, to reasonably examine, inspect,
audit and review all such books, records and any source documents used
in the preparation thereof during normal business hours upon written
notice to Affiliate at least seven (7) business days prior to the
commencement of any such examination, inspection, review or audit. Such
audit shall be at Company’s sole cost and expense and shall be strictly
limited to those books and records that specifically relate to
Affiliate’s generation of Actions, as well as Affiliate’s compliance
with Applicable Law and the terms of the Agreement in connection
therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Company uncovers any
material misconduct associated with Affiliate’s generation of Actions
hereunder, then the audit shall be at the sole cost and expense of
Affiliate.
14. Indemnification.
Affiliate agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Company, its
subsidiaries, Advertisers, shareholders, agents, contractors, officers,
directors and employees from and against any loss, cost, claim, injury
or damage (including reasonable attorney’s fees) arising out of or
relating to any: (a) breach of the Agreement by Affiliate; (b) claim
related to the Services, generation of Actions and/or Affiliate’s
marketing practices associated therewith; (c) claim related to the
Affiliate Creative and/or Affiliate Media; and/or (d) act or omission of
any Sub-Affiliate. Company agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless
Affiliate, its subsidiaries, agents, contractors, officers, directors,
members and employees from and against any loss, cost, claim, injury or
damage (including reasonable attorney’s fees) arising out of or relating
to any breach of the Agreement by Company.
15. Confidentiality. During the
Term of the Agreement, and until such time as the Confidential
Information (as defined below) is no longer protectable under New York
State law, neither Party will use or disclose any Confidential
Information of the other Party except as specifically contemplated
herein. “Confidential Information” means information that: (a) is sufficiently secret to
derive economic value, actual or potential, from not being generally
known to other persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure
or use; and (b) is the subject of efforts that are reasonable under the
circumstances to maintain its secrecy or confidentiality. Subject to the
foregoing, Confidential Information shall include, without limitation,
all technical or non-technical data, formulae, patterns, compilations,
programs, devices, methods, techniques, drawings, processes, financial
data, lists of actual or potential customers or suppliers and the terms
of the Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Suppression Lists,
payment terms set forth herein and in the Campaign Terms (including the
cost per Action) and the Consumer Data associated with posted Actions,
shall be deemed the Confidential Information of Company for purposes of
the Agreement. Confidential Information does not include information
that: (i) has been independently developed by the receiving Party
without access to the other Party’s Confidential Information; (ii) has
become publicly known through no breach of this Section 15 by the
receiving Party; (iii) has been rightfully received from a third party
authorized to make such disclosure; (iv) has been approved for release
in writing by the disclosing Party; or (v) is required to be disclosed
by a competent legal or governmental authority. At the request of the
disclosing Party, the receiving Party shall return all of the disclosing
Party’s Confidential Information to the disclosing Party.
16. Disclaimer of Warranties. EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THE AGREEMENT, THERE ARE NO OTHER
WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED HEREUNDER INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE.
17. Limitation of Liability.
IN NO EVENT SHALL COMPANY BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL,
SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOST
BUSINESS AND LOST PROFITS, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER
THEORY. COMPANY WILL NOT BE LIABLE, OR CONSIDERED IN BREACH OF THE
AGREEMENT, ON ACCOUNT OF A DELAY OR FAILURE TO PERFORM UNDER THE
AGREEMENT AND/OR ANY CAMPAIGN TERMS AS A RESULT OF CAUSES OR CONDITIONS
THAT ARE BEYOND COMPANY’S CONTROL. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING CONTAINED
HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY, COMPANY’S LIABILITY UNDER ANY CAUSE OF ACTION
SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE AMOUNTS PAID TO AFFILIATE BY COMPANY PURSUANT TO
THE AGREEMENT. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, IN
NO EVENT SHALL COMPANY BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR THE ACTS AND/OR
OMISSIONS OF ANY ADVERTISER(S) UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.
18. Waiver. No delay or
failure by either Party to exercise any right under the Agreement, and
no partial or single exercise of that right, shall constitute a waiver
of that or any other right, unless otherwise expressly provided for
herein. A waiver of default shall not be a waiver of any other or
subsequent default.
19. Force Majeure. Neither Party
will be liable, or be considered to be in breach of the Agreement, on
account of such Party’s delay or failure to perform as required under
the terms of the Agreement as a result of any causes or conditions that
are beyond such Party’s reasonable control and that such Party is unable
to overcome through the exercise of commercially reasonable diligence (a
“Force Majeure Event”).
If any such Force Majeure Event occurs including, without limitation,
acts of God, fires, explosions, telecommunications, Internet or network
failure, results of vandalism or computer hacking, storm or other
natural occurrences, national emergencies (which includes, but is not
limited to, any disruption caused by COVID-19, commonly referred to as
“coronavirus,” and any governmental and/or private sector response
thereto), acts of terrorism, insurrections, riots, wars, strikes or
other labor difficulties, or any act or omission of any other person or
entity, the affected Party will give the other Party prompt written
notice thereof and will use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize
the impact of any such event.
20. Governing Law/Venue/Attorneys’ Fees. The Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and
governed by the laws of the State of New York. In the event that any
suit, action or other legal proceeding shall be instituted against
either party in connection with the Agreement, each hereby submits to
the jurisdiction of either the United States District Court for the
Southern District of New York or any New York State Court of competent
jurisdiction, located in New York County, and further agrees to comply
with all requirements necessary to give such court jurisdiction. The
prevailing party in any litigation arising hereunder shall be entitled
to recover from the other party all of its costs and expenses (including
reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs) incurred in connection with
such litigation.
21. Entire Agreement. This
Affiliate Agreement, together with any applicable Campaign Terms,
contains the entire agreement between the Parties. Other than with
respect to pricing and other terms that may be changed unilaterally by
Company as expressly set forth herein, no modification of the Agreement
shall be effective unless in writing and either executed or
Electronically Accepted by an executive officer of both Parties.
22. Severability. If any
provision contained in the Agreement is determined to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any Applicable Law, then
such provision will be severed and replaced with a new provision that
most closely reflects the real intention of the Parties, and the
remaining provisions of the Agreement will remain in full force and
effect.
23. Relationship of the Parties. The relationship of Company and Affiliate established by
the Agreement is solely that of independent contractors, and neither
Party is an employee, agent, partner or joint venturer of the other.
Neither Party shall make any representation, warranty or covenant, or
assume or create any obligation, on the other Party’s behalf. Each Party
shall be solely responsible for the actions of its respective employees,
agents and representatives.
24. Assignment. Neither Party
shall, without the prior written consent of the other Party, assign its
rights or delegate its duties under the Agreement, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; provided, however, that either
Party may, in the event of a merger, acquisition, joint venture, or sale
of substantially all of such Party’s assets or business (or any
substantially similar transaction), assign the Agreement without the
consent of the other Party. The provisions of the Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their permitted
successors and assigns.
25. Headings. All section
headings and captions have been inserted for convenience only and shall
not affect the interpretation of the Agreement.
26. Drafting. Each Party providing Electronic Acceptance to the terms
of the Agreement agrees that it has fully participated in the drafting
of the Agreement and that no Party shall be deemed to be the drafting
Party of the Agreement.
27. Electronic Signatures.
Affiliate acknowledges and agrees that Affiliate accepts this Affiliate
Agreement and any and all Campaign Terms via electronic means rather
than via traditional handwritten signature (“Electronic Acceptance”). Affiliate
acknowledges and agrees that by clicking on the submit button, or taking
such other action as may be designated by Company as a means of
accepting this Affiliate Agreement and any and all Campaign Terms,
Affiliate is submitting a legally binding electronic signature and is
entering into a legally binding contract. Affiliate acknowledges that
Affiliate’s electronic submission constitutes Affiliate’s agreement and
intent to be bound by this Affiliate Agreement and any and all Campaign
Terms. Pursuant to any and all applicable statutes, regulations, rules,
ordinances or other laws including, without limitation, the United
States Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, P.L.
106-229 (the “E-Sign Act”) and other similar state and federal statutes, AFFILIATE
HEREBY AGREES TO THE USE OF ELECTRONIC SIGNATURES, CONTRACTS, ORDERS AND
OTHER RECORDS AND TO ELECTRONIC DELIVERY OF NOTICES, POLICIES AND
RECORDS OF TRANSACTIONS INITIATED OR COMPLETED THROUGH ANY ONLINE

Affiliate hereby waives any rights and/or requirements under any
statutes, regulations, rules, ordinances or other law in any
jurisdiction which requires an original signature or delivery or
retention of non-electronic records, or to payments or the granting of
credits by other than electronic means. Affiliate acknowledges and
agrees that it has the ability to print information delivered to
Affiliate electronically, or otherwise knows how to store that
information in a way that ensures that it remains accessible to
Affiliate in unchanged form.
