3. ONGOING COMPLIANCE

	Publisher's continuing compliance with this Affiliate Agreement is a condition of continuing participation in the Program.

Publisher acknowledges that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Publisher Service Agreement, there may be up to 14 days of delay in between the reporting of the subscription and the reporting of Publisher's commission through Publisher's Account page in the Network Service, and adjustments for chargebacks may be made up to 40 days after the reporting of the subscription.

5. ADULT CONTENT AND OTHER UNACCEPTABLE CONTENT

	Publisher may not post adult-oriented content on any page on which the Advertiser Content appears.

8. LIMITED TO U.S. TARGETED USERS

	Publisher will be allowed to participate in the Program so long as Publisher's Web site substantially services or targets U.S. residents.

	* placement of Links to Advertiser as described above;

	* accuracy, timeliness and appropriateness of content posted on Publisher's Website(s) (including, among other things, all of Advertiser's offers);

	* ensuring that materials posted on Publisher's Website(s) do not violate or infringe upon the rights of any third party (including, for example, copyrights, trademarks, privacy, or other personal or proprietary rights); and

	* ensuring that content posted on Publisher's Website(s) is in compliance with this Affiliate Agreement, and not libelous or otherwise illegal.

	Advertiser disclaims all liability for these matters. Further, Publisher agrees to indemnify and hold Advertiser, and its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, agents, co-branders or other partners, and employees, harmless from all claims, damages, demands, and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees) relating to the development, operation, maintenance, and contents of Publisher's site, use of the Advertiser Content, violation of this Affiliate Agreement, or violation of any right of another party. Publisher will permit Advertiser, at its election, to assume and control the defense of any such claim.

If any modification is unacceptable to Publisher, the only recourse for Publisher is to terminate this Affiliate Agreement. Publisher's continued participation in the Program and compliance with such change(s) following Advertiser's notification will constitute binding acceptance of such change.

The failure of Advertiser to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Affiliate Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of this Affiliate Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties' intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of this Affiliate Agreement remain in full force and effect. Publisher will not assign, transfer, sublicense, or otherwise delegate its rights under this Affiliate Agreement without the prior written consent of Advertiser.
