Arbitration is a manner of resolving any disputes or controversies without filing a lawsuit.  In the event any dispute between you and Verified Coupons cannot be resolved informally within ninety (90) days, such dispute shall be settled by binding confidential arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules, and the judgment on the award shall be binding any may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.  

Verified Coupons agrees to such final and binding arbitration and likewise you agree to final and binding arbitration for any disputes that cannot be resolved informally. By agreeing to arbitrate, you are waiving your right to file a lawsuit in court and instead will be submitting your dispute to final and binding confidential arbitration.  The arbitration shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes and shall grant relief as a court would.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following claims shall not be subject to final and binding confidential arbitration: (i) any Claim arising out of or relating to the infringement, validity, or unauthorized use of our proprietary rights, including without limitation, trademarks, service marks, trade dress, copyrights, trade secrets, or patents; or (ii) an action by  Verified Coupons for temporary, preliminary, or permanent injunctive relief against you for breach or threatened breach of these Terms of Use.  Each party consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in San Diego, California and forever waive any challenge to said courts’ jurisdiction and venue.

  1. COMMENCING ARBITRATION

Each party agrees to commence any arbitration within one (1) year after the Claim arises, including any pre-dispute communications.  Any Claim commenced after the one (1) year period shall be forever barred.  

Either party may commence the arbitration process by submitting a written demand for arbitration with the AAA and providing a copy to the other party.  Arbitration that is commenced shall be submitted to the final and binding confidential arbitration before a single arbitrator of the AAA.  The arbitrator shall be selected by agreement of the parties, or if the parties cannot agree, in accordance with the Rules of the AAA.  The AAA’s Rules are available for access at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879.  The arbitrator shall have the exclusive and sole authority to determine whether a dispute is arbitrable.  Arbitration shall be conducted in San Diego, California, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties.

Advertiser may offset future commissions payable to an Affiliate or Publisher with the amount due as a repayment. In the event no commissions are earned by the Affiliate or Publisher to offset within 30 days of the charge back or return of product, Advertiser may issue an invoice for the commission return to be made upon receipt of the invoice. The Network is not responsible or liable for the repayment of any commissions from any Affiliate or Publisher. Additionally, the Parties agree that the Network may, in its discretion, establish and require a reserve fund of revenues generated from sales reasonably necessary to pay and settle required repayments, chargebacks and returns.

10. Leads/CPA/Unaccepted Actions. In connection with Leads and CPA-based Ad Campaigns, Advertiser will pay Verified Coupons Affiliate Network for all Actions generated; provided, however, that Advertiser shall have no obligation to pay for any Lead/CPA-based Action that:

it rejects within five (5) days of its receipt thereof; and

both parties determine is not a Valid Action (as defined below). Where Verified Coupons Affiliate Network determines that such Action is a Valid Action, Advertiser must pay for same. A “Valid Action” means an individual person that:

is not a computer-generated user, such as a robot, spider, computer script or other automated, artificial or fraudulent method designed to appear like an individual, real live person;

in the case of CPA-based Campaign, is a valid sale that is not fraudulent, cancelled, charged back or otherwise nullified; and

in the case of Leads-based Campaigns, has submitted information that meets all of Advertiser’s criteria as set forth in the applicable AMP. The data associated with any and all Lead/CPA-based Actions (“Action Data”) that are not both accepted and paid for by Advertiser shall be deemed the Confidential Information of Verified Coupons Affiliate Network, subject to any and all restrictions set forth herein (“Unaccepted Action Data”). Upon Advertiser’s acceptance of a Lead/CPA-based Action (and payment to Verified Coupons Affiliate Network therefore in accordance with payment terms set forth herein and in the applicable AMP), Verified Coupons Affiliate Network shall grant to Advertiser joint ownership and the full right to use such Action Data. Where Advertiser does not accept Leads/CPA-based Actions, where Advertiser fails to make payments for same in accordance with the payment terms herein and in the applicable AMP and/or where such Leads/CPA-based Actions are later determined not to be Valid Actions, Advertiser shall have no rights in and to such Action Data, and such Action Data shall be considered and treated as Unaccepted Action Data. Without limiting the generality of the confidentiality obligations set forth herein, Advertiser agrees that it:

will not transfer, export, display, forward or otherwise share information contained in the Unaccepted Action Data to/with any third party;

will not use the information contained in the Unaccepted Action Data on its own behalf in any manner not expressly authorized by Verified Coupons Affiliate Network;

will not use the information contained in the Unaccepted Action Data to create any interactive on-line, CD-ROM or other derivative product;

will not publicly display the information contained in the Unaccepted Action Data on the Internet; and

will notify Verified Coupons Affiliate Network as soon as it learns of any actual or suspected unauthorized use of or access to the information contained in the Unaccepted Action Data and provide reasonable assistance to Verified Coupons Affiliate Network in the investigation and prosecution of any such unauthorized use or disclosure.

11. Term/Termination. The Agreement shall continue for the term set forth in any underlying IO or AMP, provided that either party may terminate the Agreement and/or any AMP at any time, upon thirty (30) business days’ prior written notice. Upon termination or expiration of the Agreement for any reason:

Advertiser agrees to pay agreed upon termination fees set forth in the underlying AMP;

Advertiser will pay Verified Coupons Affiliate Network all amounts then due and owing as of the termination date within thirty (30) days as set forth in Section 7 hereinabove;

any and all licenses and rights granted to either party in connection with the Agreement shall immediately cease and terminate; and

any and all Confidential Information or proprietary information of either party that is in the other party’s possession or control must be immediately returned or destroyed. Notwithstanding any termination of the Agreement, any provisions of the Agreement that may reasonably be expected to survive termination of the Agreement, shall survive and remain in effect in accordance with their terms.
