(f) Communications with Consumers. You may not, without our prior written consent, (i) generate or send any email messages, text or mobile messages, or other electronic messages (“Electronic Messages”) using or containing our name or logo, or any variation thereof, trademarks or products, or any of the Qualifying Links or URLs provided to you as part of the Affiliate Program, (ii) send any Electronic Message that in any way suggests or is likely to mislead (including without limitation, via the return address, subject heading, header information or message contents) a recipient into believing that we or any related entity was the sender or sponsor of such email or procured or induced you to send such email, (iii) forward, redistribute, or otherwise repurpose any Electronic Messages that we send to customers or members of our network, and (iv) generate or send any unsolicited email (spam) under this Agreement or any email in violation of the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 (including any amendments or successor laws) or any other applicable laws or regulations.

All goodwill and benefits accruing from the use of the Merchant Content will automatically vest in us. You agree to cooperate with us and to take any additional actions reasonably requested by us to effect, perfect or confirm our rights, title and interest in the Merchant Content.
8. Operation and Maintenance of the Merchant Websites.
(a) You acknowledge and agree that we will accept or reject, in our sole and absolute discretion, all orders by customers for merchandise placed on or through the Merchant Websites. You further acknowledge and agree that (i) you do not have any authority to make or accept any offer or commitment on behalf of us, (ii) we do not guarantee the availability of any merchandise or other services offered for sale on the Merchant Websites, and (iii) we are solely responsible for all pricing, merchandising, order processing, order fulfillment, shipping, returns and all other aspects of the Merchant Websites and the sale of merchandise thereunder. Customers who access the Merchant Websites will be deemed our customers, not yours. Accordingly, all of our then applicable rules, policies and procedures concerning orders, returns, refunds, customer service, privacy and other terms of use and sale will apply to such customers. As between the parties, all information obtained through the use of the Merchant Websites shall be our exclusive property.
(b) We may change our policies and operating procedures at any time in our sole discretion. We will determine the prices to be charged for products sold under the Affiliate Program in accordance with our own pricing policies. Product prices and availability may vary from time to time. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to present accurate information, but we cannot guarantee the availability or price of any particular product or the error-free or uninterrupted operation of our website.
9. Revenue Share Payments. (a) During the term of this Agreement, we agree to pay you a revenue share (the "Revenue Share") equal to the applicable percentage of Net Revenue determined pursuant to the schedule set forth in the Affiliate Program materials provided by us. We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to change, modify, add or remove portions of this Revenue Share schedule at any time without notice. For purposes of this Agreement, "Net Revenue" means all cash consideration (not including any portion of payment made through the redemption of coupons or credits, or the purchase of gift certificates or gift cards) from merchandise sold in a transaction resulting directly from a Qualifying Link tracked by us from your website to the Merchant Websites in accordance with this Agreement, where the customer purchases such merchandise, less all taxes, shipping and handling charges, gift wrapping and other value-added service charges, returns and chargebacks. You acknowledge and agree that we will not be obligated to pay any revenue share unless we actually ship the applicable order and receive full payment for such order.
(b) A transaction may be deemed to be resulting directly from a Qualifying Link tracked by us from your website to the Merchant Websites if:
(i) such purchase is made during the time period set forth by us after the customer has initially entered our website through your tracked Qualifying Link ("Revenue Share Time"). After the Revenue Share Time, we will not pay referral fees on any products that are added to a customer's shopping cart after the customer has re-entered our website (other than through a Qualifying Link from your website), even if the customer previously followed a link from your website to our website.
(ii) your tracked Qualifying Link is the most recent referral to the Merchant Site prior to such purchase among all marketing channels tracked by us. If we are able to track a referral from another marketing channel (e.g., another affiliate, comparison shopping engine, paid search, banner advertisement or any other trackable marketing channel) that is more recent than your Qualifying Link, then the resulting purchase will be deemed not to be directly resulting from your tracked Qualifying Link.
All determinations of Qualifying Links and whether a referral fee is payable will be made by us and will be final and binding on you.
(c) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, we will pay you the above-described Revenue Share on a monthly basis. We will send payment for the Revenue Share earned, less any taxes or other amounts that we may be required by law to withhold. No interest will be paid on any such amount held by us. If a Revenue Share payment is made hereunder and relates to merchandise that is later returned by the customer, the applicable Revenue Share will be deducted from the next applicable payment hereunder. If any portion of such Revenue Share cannot be recovered through a deduction, we will invoice you for such amount and you agree to pay this amount within 30 days after receipt of such invoice. Upon termination of this Agreement, we will send, or cause to be sent, payment for the total amount of Revenue Share then owed to you as of the termination date. The final Revenue Share payment may be withheld by us for a reasonable period of time to ensure that the correct amount is paid after making any adjustments that may be required, including, but not limited to, adjustments for returns.
10. Tracking. (a) We will track sales made to customers who purchase products using Qualified Links, that you will generate from your website to our website, and reports summarizing this sales activity will be available to you. The form, content, and frequency of the reports are limited to those reports and capabilities available to us and may vary from time to time in our reasonable discretion. We are not responsible for any changes that we may make in our reporting format, timing, or types of reports available to the members of our Affiliate Program. To permit accurate tracking, reporting and fee accrual, you must ensure that the links between your website and our website are properly formatted. We are not responsible for improperly formatted links regardless of whether you have made amendments to the code or not. In addition, we are unable to track or provide you credit for sales from customers that are referred to us with browsers that do not have their cookies setting enabled. You agree not to disclose information contained in our reports regarding us to any third party without our prior written consent and agree that such information is our Confidential Information.
(b) You represent, warrant, covenant, and agree that (i) you are a member of our network affiliate program, and (ii) you will not bypass, modify, circumvent, impair, disable or otherwise interfere with any links, web beacons, cookies or other technology provided by us or our partners.
11. Responsibility for Your Websites and Your Participation. (a) You will be solely responsible for the development, operation, and maintenance of all websites that are linked to the Merchant Websites hereunder and for all content, technology and other materials that appear on such websites. You are responsible for complying with all of the terms and conditions hereof and all applicable laws, rules and regulations. You represent, warrant, covenant, and agree that:
(i) you will not state or imply that we sponsor, endorse, sanction or otherwise approve your website or any of your products or service,
(ii) you will not state or imply that you are our associate, partner or agent or otherwise take any action that could reasonably cause customers confusion as to our relationship with you,
(iii) you will not take any action that could reasonably cause customers confusion as to the website on which any data collection, purchase transaction or other functions are occurring,
(iv) at all times during and after the term of this Agreement, you will protect all of our Confidential Information (as defined below) that you obtain or otherwise have access to with the same degree of care that you use to protect your own confidential and proprietary information but in no event less than a reasonable standard of care,
(v) you will only use our Confidential Information to the extent necessary to perform your obligations hereunder, and
(vi) you will promptly notify us of any malfunctioning of the Qualifying Links or other problems with your participation in the Program.
(b) We disclaim all liability for all such matters. Further, you agree to defend, indemnify and hold us harmless from all claims, damages, and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees) relating to the development, operation, maintenance or content of your website.
(c) For purposes of this Agreement, "Confidential Information" means all non-public information provided or obtained by you about us, including, without limitation, all customer information, and all business and sales information related to transactions through this Affiliate Program.
12. Affiliate Indemnification. You will, at your own cost and expense, indemnify, defend and hold harmless, Merchant and its parents, subsidiaries and company affiliates, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns against any claim, suit, action, judgment, liability, loss, cost, expenses and other damages (even if such claims are groundless, fraudulent or false), including reasonable attorney's fees, based upon or in connection with (i) any breach or alleged breach of your representations, warranties, covenants agreements, or obligations hereunder, (ii) your websites or related business, or any content, technology or other materials displayed or contained thereon, including but not limited to with respect to claims of misappropriation or infringement, (iii) your failure or alleged failure to comply with any applicable law, rule or regulation, (vi) claims for unsolicited email, spamming or violation of the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003, (vii) your misuse, unauthorized modification or unauthorized use of the services or materials provided by us hereunder, or (viii) any actual or alleged wrongful or negligent act or omission by you.
13. Term and Termination. (a) This Agreement shall automatically terminate on the date on which we no longer maintain, or you are no longer a member of, the Affiliate Program contemplated hereunder. Additionally, either party may terminate this Agreement at any time and for any reason by providing notice (including via e-mail) to the other party. Without limitation to any other rights we may have, we may also terminate this Agreement immediately, without notice, if we determine, in our sole discretion, that you have breached this Agreement or that your website(s) is unsuitable to participate in this Affiliate Program. Either party may terminate a Commission Term at any time by deleting its acceptance through our network, and such termination of a Commission Term shall not be deemed a termination of this Agreement or any other Commission Term. Sections 3(c), 6, 8(b), 10-20 and 23 (together with all other provisions that may reasonably be interpreted as surviving termination or expiration of this Agreement) will survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement.
(b) Upon termination of this Agreement, you will immediately cease use of, and remove from your website, all links to our website and all Merchant Content.
(c) You are only eligible to earn a Revenue Share on sales of products occurring during the term of this Agreement, and referral fees earned through the date of termination will remain payable only if the related orders are not canceled or returned by a customer.
14. Modification of Agreement. We reserve the right to modify this Agreement, at any time in our sole discretion, by posting a change of notice or a new agreement on our Merchant Websites. If any modification is unacceptable to you, you agree that your sole recourse is to terminate this agreement. Your continued use of the Merchant Content and participation in this Affiliate Program following any modification of this agreement shall constitute conclusive and binding acceptance to any modification or new agreement.
15. Warranty Disclaimer. We do not make any warranties, representations, or guarantees, with regard to the products or services sold through the Merchant Websites, the operation and maintenance of the Merchant Websites, whether express or implied, arising by law or otherwise, including without limitation any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement or any implied warranty arising from course of performance, course of dealing, or usage of trade. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, we make no representation that the operation of the Merchant Websites will be uninterrupted or error-free.
16. Limitation of Damages. We will not have any liability (whether in contract, warranty, tort (including, but not limited to, negligence), product liability or other theory) for any indirect, incidental, special, punitive, or consequential damages, even if we were advised of the possibility of such damages, or for any loss of revenue, data or profits arising under or with respect to this agreement or the Affiliate Program. Our aggregate liability arising under or with respect to this agreement or the affiliate program will in no event exceed the total revenue share paid or payable by us to you under this agreement during the preceding twelve (12) month period prior to the date such liability arose. All claims made hereunder by you against us shall be made within 120 days of the act or omission that forms the basis of such claims.
17. Independent Contractors. We and you are each an independent contractor, and nothing in this Agreement or any Affiliate Program documents will create any form of partnership, joint venture, agency, franchise, sales representative, or employment relationship. You will be required to provide EnChroma, Inc. your personal information and tax ID as required by your local taxing authority so that we may properly report your income to those authorities.
18. Governing Law; Choice of Venue. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of California, excluding its conflict of laws principles. Any dispute relating to this Agreement must be settled in arbitration.
