Profitise reserves the right to disclose Your contact information to any party making a credible claim of infringement.
2.06 Web Crawler. You will publish quality marketing copy which complies with this Agreement, industry best practices, and applicable state and federal law, provides the necessary consumer disclosures, and does not mislead consumers. To monitor Your compliance with this Agreement, industry best practices, and applicable law, Profitise will employ a website “crawler.” You consent to Profitise’s use of the crawler and You will not take any action which impedes or impairs the web crawler’s activities.
Profitise will include in all Creative Materials a special transaction tracking code (the “Transaction Tracking Code”). You will not modify, circumvent, impair, disable, or otherwise interfere with any Transaction Tracking Code or other technology or methodology required or made available by Profitise in connection with any and all Creative Materials. All determinations made by Profitise in connection with the Creative Materials will be final and binding on You.
Profitise expressly reserves the right to seed applicable data in order to monitor Affiliate’s compliance with the terms of this Agreement and applicable laws, rules, and regulations.
4.01 Calculation. Profitise will compile, calculate, and post on the Site, data derived from the Transaction Tracking Codes and supplementary sources used by Profitise to determine the amount You will be paid.
The amount You will be paid (the “Commissions”) will be determined by the number of Accepted Leads You produce during a given period as calculated through the Transaction Tracking Codes (the “Payment Data”) at the rate set forth in the applicable Insertion Order. If, for any reason (including impairment of the Transaction Tracking Codes), Profitise is unable or fails to provide You with accurate or complete Payment Data, Profitise will calculate Compensable Transactions (“Projected Compensable Transactions”), based upon:
a. Your average weekly Compensable Transactions recorded by Profitise for the applicable Campaign, prorated for any shorter or longer period of time, where Payment Data needed to calculate such a weekly average is available; or
b. such amount that Profitise reasonably determines is due, in its sole discretion, where Payment Data needed to calculate such a bi-monthly average is unavailable.
4.02 Disputes. Any questions or disputes regarding the Payment Data must be submitted in writing to Profitise via certified mail, addressed to 505 N. Brand Blvd., 16th Floor, Glendale, CA 91203 or emailed to info@profitise.com within five business days of the date that the Payment Data is posted on the Site. If You fail to provide the notice described in this Section 4.02, then You will be deemed to have accepted the Payment Data. You and Profitise will attempt to resolve all Payment Data disputes through good faith negotiations. If the Parties fail to reach a resolution after a good faith effort within 30 days, You may bring a cause of action before an American Arbitration Association arbitration tribunal in Los Angeles, California, according to the rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect.
4.03 Timing. Profitise will pay Commissions on a weekly basis approximately seven days after the end of the prior week for all Commissions earned during such period, provided that You must meet the payment threshold for Your elected payment method (the “Payment Threshold”). If You choose to receive payment by check or through the WebMoney or PayPal services the Payment Threshold will be $100. If You choose to receive payment via ACH or wire transfer, the Payment Threshold will be $1,000. If Your account accrues a balance below the applicable Payment Threshold You will not receive Commissions earned during the prior period, and will receive Commissions on the payment period date at which an amount equal to or greater than the respective Payment Threshold has been met. All payments will be in U.S. Dollars. Profitise may require You to provide an IRS Form W-9, or similar tax identification information, prior to receiving any Commission payments.
Upon termination of this Agreement, Profitise will pay You Commissions, even amounts below the Payment Threshold, during the next payment period, subject to Profitise’s right to withhold or cancel Commission payments to you as set forth in Section 4.04, below. Profitise will not pay Affiliate any Commissions that arise: (a) before Affiliate is accepted into the Network; or, (b) after termination of this Agreement or any applicable Campaign.
4.04 Validation of Leads. A Lead will be a “Valid Lead” if it:
a. is not a computer generated user, such as a robot, spider, computer script, or other automated, artificial, or fraudulent method designed to appear like a natural person, and
b. has submitted information that meets all of Profitise’s criteria.
Profitise will have no obligation to pay for any data that it or the end buyer of the Lead (an “Advertiser”), as appropriate, determines, in its respective sole discretion, does not constitute a Valid Lead (an “Invalid Lead”). If, after tendering payment, Profitise or an Advertiser determines that a Lead is an Invalid Lead,
y. Profitise will reduce or withhold any future payment to You up to the amount paid for any previous Invalid Leads, or
z. You will refund Profitise the amount paid for the Invalid Lead if You have not accrued sufficient Commissions to offset the cost of the Invalid Leads for a given period.
4.05 Referral Revenue. If You refer an individual or entity to Profitise who also becomes an active affiliate participating in the Network (a “Referral”) You will receive payments (the “Referral Revenue”) equal to 3% of the gross revenue Profitise collects from Advertisers as a result of each Referral’s participation in the Network as an affiliate.
a. Qualification. To qualify as a Referral, the individual or entity You refer must:
i. complete an Application;
ii. be separate and independent from any current Affiliate;

If You are found tampering with or engaging in fraud in connection with this Referral program, You will be: (i) terminated from the Network; (ii) disqualified from receiving any associated Referral Revenue; and (iii) subject to all other remedies available to Profitise at law and in equity resulting from such fraud
Profitise may terminate or modify the Referral program at any time in its sole discretion.
5. Data Ownership; License

THE DISCLAIMERS AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 10 ARE A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO PROFITISE ACCEPTING YOU INTO THE AFFILIATE NETWORK.
11.01. Duty to Indemnify. You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Profitise and its employees, representatives, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, suppliers, and agents (collectively, the “Profitise Indemnified Parties”), from and against all losses, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, claims, actions, judgments, settlements, interest, awards, penalties, fines, costs, or expenses of whatever kind, including attorney’s fees, that are incurred by any Profitise Indemnified Party (collectively, “Losses”), arising out of or related to any action, inspection, inquiry, investigation, or third-party claim alleging:
a. breach or non-fulfillment of any provision of this Agreement by You, any Sub-Affiliates, or Your personnel;
b. any negligent act or omission of You, any Sub-Affiliates, or Your personnel (including any reckless or willful misconduct) in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, the use of the Creative Material or the access of the Platform; or
c. any failure by You, any Sub-Affiliates, or Your personnel to comply with Laws in Your operation of Your business, use of the Creative Material, or the performance of its obligations under this Agreement.
11.02 Claim Notice. Profitise will give You notice (a “Claim Notice”) within 10 days after obtaining knowledge of any Losses or discovery of facts on which Profitise intends to base a request for indemnification under Section 11.01, above. Profitise’s failure to provide a Claim Notice to You under this Section 11.02 does not relieve You of any liability that it may have to Profitise, but in no event will You be liable for any Losses that result directly from a delay in providing a Claim Notice, which delay materially prejudices the defense of the related third-party claim. Your duty to defend applies immediately, regardless of whether Profitise has paid any sums or incurred any detriment arising out of or relating, directly or indirectly, to any third-party claim.
11.03 Profitise’s Control of Defense. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11, Profitise may select its own legal counsel to represent its interests, direct its defense, and resolve any matter in its sole discretion and You will:
a. reimburse Profitise for its costs and attorneys’ fees immediately upon request as they are incurred; and
b. remain responsible to Profitise for any Losses indemnified under Section 11.01, above.
12.01.	Confidential Information Defined. For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” will mean all data and information, of a confidential nature or otherwise, disclosed during the term of this Agreement by one Party (the “Disclosing Party”) to the other Party (the “Receiving Party”), as well as information that the Receiving Party knows or should know that the Disclosing Party regards as confidential including:
a.	a Party’s business plans, strategies, know-how, marketing plans, suppliers, sources of materials, finances, business relationships, personally identifiable end-user information, pricing, technology, employees, trade secrets, and other non-public or proprietary information whether written, verbal, recorded on tapes or in any other media or format;
b.	information marked or designated by either Party as confidential;

Additionally, the Receiving Party will not use Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information for any purpose other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement and will restrict disclosure of Confidential Information to its employee(s), authorized agent(s), or independent contractors to whom disclosure is reasonably required, and such employee(s), authorized agent(s) or independent contractor(s) will be explicitly bound by these confidentiality obligations and will use reasonable care, but not less care than it uses with respect to its own information of like character, to prevent disclosure of any Confidential information, and who have entered into a confidentiality agreement with the Receiving Party with terms at least as restrictive as those set forth herein.
The Receiving Party agrees that in the event of a breach of this Section 12, such breach would result in immediate and irreparable harm to the Disclosing Party and monetary damages for breach of these confidentiality provisions may not be adequate, and the Disclosing Party will be further entitled to injunctive relief, without the requirement to post bond.
This Section 12 will survive any termination of this Agreement until such time as all Confidential Information is no longer confidential.
12.03	Permitted Disclosure by Profitise. Profitise may disclose Your Confidential Information to government regulators during the course of regulatory inspections, investigations, inquiries, or enforcement actions without providing You notice. Additionally, You expressly authorize Profitise to disclose Your contact information to any owner or lawful holder of intellectual property upon which You have infringed, upon reasonable belief of such infringement. Profitise may also publish Your contact information on any “blacklist” as a response to Your fraudulent activity.
13.	NON-CIRCUMVENTION
You will not circumvent Profitise’s relationship with any of its affiliates, Advertisers, or third-parties, or otherwise offer, make available, provide, contract for, or perform, directly or indirectly, advertising, marketing, or promotional services similar to the services performed by affiliates in the Network for any affiliate, Advertiser, or third-party publisher that is known, or should reasonably be known, by Affiliate to participate in the Network, during the term of this Agreement and for the six-month period following termination or expiration of this Agreement. That being said, To the extent that You can show that any such affiliate, Advertiser, or third-party already obtained such services from You prior to the date of this Agreement, You will not be prohibited from continuing such relationship.
You agree that monetary damages for Your breach, or threatened breach, of this Section 13 may not be adequate to cure the irreparable and immediate injury caused to Profitise as a result of such breach, and that Profitise will be entitled to: (a) injunctive relief, including temporary and preliminary relief, without the requirement to post a bond; or (b) any and all other remedies available to Profitise at law or in equity.

Upon a determination that any clause, section, or provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the court or arbitration tribunal may modify this Agreement to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in order that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.
