Upon approval of Your Affiliate application, Company grants to You a non-transferable, non-exclusive, limited license to use the Site, the Service, Creative, Offers and any data, reports, information and/or analyses arising out of such use that Company makes available to You, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. You acknowledge and agree that Company may reject Your Affiliate application for any reason, in Company's sole discretion. You acknowledge and agree that You do not have, nor will You claim any right, title or interest in, the Site or the Service software, applications, data, methods of doing business or any elements thereof. You may only access the Site via web browser, email or in a manner otherwise approved by Company. No part of the Site may be reproduced in any form or incorporated into any information retrieval system, electronic or mechanical. You may not use, copy, emulate, clone, rent, lease, sell, modify, decompile, disassemble, reverse engineer or transfer the Site, Site content or any portion thereof. Company reserves any rights not explicitly granted in this Agreement. You may not use any device, software or routine to interfere or attempt to interfere with the proper working of the Site. In addition, Site integration tags included in the Advertiser Creative or otherwise may NOT be altered under any circumstances. Altering tags may jeopardize Your ability to be paid for Events and would be grounds for immediate termination of Your Affiliate account. You may not take any action that imposes an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on the Company infrastructure. Your right to use the Site is not transferable.

3. Fraud.

Company actively monitors traffic, Events, Bounties and other Program-related activities for Fraud. If Company suspects that Your account has been used in a fraudulent manner, Your account will be deactivated effective immediately and with no notice to You pending further investigation.

If You fraudulently add leads, clicks or other Events, or inflate leads, clicks or other Events, through the use of fraudulent means of traffic generation (as determined solely by Company, such as pre-population of forms or mechanisms not approved by Company), You will forfeit your entire Bounty-related commissions for all programs, not just those commissions associated with the fraudulent activity, and Your account will be terminated effective immediately. Company reserves sole judgment in determining fraud, and You agree to be bound these determinations.

It is the OBLIGATION of Affiliate to prove to Company that it has NOT engaged in fraud. Company will hold Your Bounty-related payments in 'Pending Status' until You have satisfactorily provided evidence that You have not engaged in fraud. Company uses a variety of methods to flag accounts for possible fraud, including accounts that:

1. Have click-through rates that are much higher than industry averages and where solid justification is not evident;
2. Have ONLY click programs generating clicks with no indication, based upon site traffic statistics, that it can sustain the clicks reported;
3. Have shown fraudulent leads as determined by Company or its Advertisers; and
4. Use fake redirects, automated software and/or fraud to generate clicks or leads from Programs.

4. Use of Downloadable Software Downloadable Software can only be utilized by You if it complies with Company's Acceptable Use Policy for Downloadable Software, available HERE. Downloadable Software must receive approval by Company prior to use.

5. Use of Email for Marketing Purposes Email Marketing can only be utilized by You if it complies with the Company's Acceptable Use Policy for Email Marketing, available HERE.

6. Payment. You will be paid the applicable Bounty rate for each Program Event specified in the applicable Program terms. The Parties understand and agree that payment will be owed to Affiliate from the applicable Advertiser, and that corresponding payments shall be made from Company out of the funds actually collected by Company from the applicable Advertiser approximately fifteen (15) days after the last day of a given calendar month, for Bounties realized in that month. All accounts will be paid in US dollars ($US). No checks will be issued for any amounts less than Fifty US Dollars ($50) ("Payment Threshold"). Every Affiliate account must have a unique, valid taxpayer identification number (TIN) or valid Social Security number. All payments are based on actual figures as defined, accounted for and audited by Advertiser. Company will facilitate payment by disbursing the earned portion of lump sum aggregate payments to individual Affiliates based upon the receipt of corresponding payments from the applicable Advertiser(s). In the event that Company fails to receive the applicable corresponding payments due from the respective Advertiser(s), Company shall have no payment obligation to Affiliate. Instead, Affiliate shall have the right to pursue any and all legal remedies directly against any Advertiser that has not made funds available to pay sums due and owing to Affiliate for Bounties earned in connection with a particular Program. If Advertiser does not pay on time, Company will notify Affiliate and may, in its sole discretion, offer its reasonable assistance in matters related to collections. Affiliate agrees that Company shall have no obligations and incur no liabilities to Affiliate in connection with any such payment-related dispute. Advertisers will not pay for any Events that occur before a Program is initiated, or after a Program terminates. Invoices submitted to Company and payments made to You shall be based on the Events and corresponding Bounties as recorded by Company. Company will not be responsible to compensate You for Events that are not recorded due to Your error.

7. Termination. This Agreement shall commence upon Company's acceptance of Your Affiliate application and remain in effect until terminated as set forth herein. This Agreement may be terminated by either Party upon three (3) days' prior written notice. This Agreement shall terminate immediately upon the dissolution or insolvency of either Party. Company reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to terminate a Program and/or remove any Creative and/or Offers at any time for any reason, upon notice to You. Company also reserves the right to terminate Your access to the Site at any time with or without notice to You. Termination notice will be provided via e-mail and will be effective immediately. All legitimate moneys due to Affiliate that are actually collected from the applicable Advertiser, even amounts below the Payment Threshold, will be paid during the next billing cycle. If Affiliate commits fraud in connection with the Service or any Program, or otherwise violates this Agreement or the AUP, then such payments otherwise due Affiliate shall be revoked, as determined solely by Company. The representations, warranties and obligations contained in Sections 6, 8, 9, 10 and 11 hereof shall remain in full force and effect after termination of this Agreement. All payment obligations accruing prior to the date of termination shall survive until fully fulfilled.
