Archer Affiliates Corp. and its affiliated entities ("Archer") provides an online partner marketing platform to facilitate more efficient and productive relationships between Sellers and Creators on Amazon (the "Platform").  Before accessing and using the Platform, please read this entire agreement carefully.  This is a binding Agreement between Archer and both You and the entity You represent (collectively "You"). These Terms of Service (the "Agreement") govern Your access and use of the Platform and any other products or services provided by Archer through the Platform. If You access or use the Platform in any way, You represent and agree that You: (i) have read and understand this Agreement; (ii) have the authority to bind Yourself and any entity You represent; and (iii) agree to the terms of this Agreement. If You do not agree to the terms of this Agreement, You may not access or use the Platform for any purpose.

This Agreement contains sections entitled "Disclaimer of Warranties" and "Limitations of Liability." Please read them carefully, as they limit Archer’s liability.

The Platform allows Sellers and Creators to partner directly. "Sellers" are individuals and/or businesses seeking to partner directly with Creators for Creators to promote Sellers’ Amazon listings, and "Creators" are individuals and/or businesses seeking to partner directly with Sellers to promote Sellers’ Amazon listings. Sellers and Creators (and their authorized representatives) are hereinafter referred to as "Users."

1. Changes to this Agreement and the Platform

Archer reserves the right to make modifications to this Agreement at any time and for any reason. Please check this Agreement periodically to ensure you are aware of any modifications made by Archer. Your continued use of the Platform after any change to these terms constitutes Your agreement to those new or changed terms. Archer may, at any time and in its sole discretion, without prior notice, and without any liability to any User, modify or discontinue any portion of the Platform, either temporarily or permanently. 

2. Account Registration; Payment Methods

To access the Platform, each User must create an account with a unique username and password for use as login credentials (each, a "User ID").  You must keep Your User ID confidential and secure. Do not disclose or share Your User ID.  You are responsible for all acts, omissions and content carried out under Your User ID, and Archer will consider all acts, omissions and content on the Platform under Your User ID as authorized by You.  If You have any reason to believe that Your User ID has been compromised, please contact Archer immediately.

Upon upgrading to a paid account, each Seller must provide and maintain on file account information for at least one valid Payment Method. "Payment Method" means a valid credit card issued by a bank acceptable to Archer, a bank account linked to Seller’s account, a debit card, or such other method of payment as Archer may accept from time to time in its sole discretion. You hereby authorize Archer, as applicable, to run credit card authorizations on all credit cards provided by You, to store credit card and banking or other financial details as Your Payment Method, and to charge your Payment Method for amounts owed as set forth in this Agreement. 

By providing Payment Method information, You, as Seller, represent that: (i) You are legally authorized to provide such information; (ii) You are legally authorized to make payments using the Payment Method(s); and (iii) such actions do not violate the terms and conditions applicable to Your use of such Payment Method(s) or applicable law. 

3. Platform Services

                   A.      Affiliate Programs

Subject to this Agreement, Archer provides the Platform and related services including hosting and maintaining the website, simplifying relationships between Users, facilitating payments between Users, displaying and normalizing attribution date from the Amazon Attribution API, and streamlining tax reporting.  The Platform may display information about affiliate programs offered by Sellers which may include a description of the affiliate program, payment terms, commission schedules, and other terms and conditions. Creators who wish to participate in an affiliate program will communicate directly with the Seller offering the program through the Platform and may be required by Seller to enter into a separate agreement for such affiliate program (each, an "AffiliateProgramAgreement").  Archer is not a party to any Affiliate Program Agreement and shall have no liability, responsibility, or obligation relating to any such agreement.

By using the Platform, You acknowledge and agree that Users, and not Archer, are solely responsible for (i) evaluating and determining the suitability of any project or User; (ii) assessing whether to enter  into a contract with another User and for verifying any information about another User; (iii) deciding whether to enter into a contract with another User as well as the contract terms; and (iv) negotiating, agreeing to, and executing any terms or conditions of the contracts and for performing and monitoring performance under them. All contracts between Users are directly between the Users, and Archer is not a party to such contracts.

Archer may, in its discretion, make available one or more form template agreements which Users may, but are not obligated to, use to enter into Affiliate Program Agreements with other Users. For the avoidance of doubt, the use of any such optional form template agreements is entirely optional and solely within the discretion of the Users. For the further avoidance of doubt, any use of such form template agreements by Users shall not, under any circumstance, make Archer a party to such contract between the Users. 

                   B.       Attribution Data

Archer displays attribution data, including clicks, conversions, and sales from the Amazon Attribution API. Commissions are calculated by Archer based on this attribution data and based on commission information provided by Users. At times, Amazon’s Attribution API may record refunds, chargebacks, or other events that change previously recorded conversions and sales. In these cases, commission amounts will be adjusted to reflect the latest data from Amazon’s Attribution API. 

                   C.      Commissions

Seller affiliate programs may provide for the payment of commissions or rewards from Sellers to Creators. While the Platform may be used to facilitate payment of such commissions or rewards between Users, Archer’s role is solely to facilitate such payments using payment account information supplied by the respective Users, including by contracting with third-party payment processors, as described in more detail in Section 3(D). You agree and acknowledge that Archer is not responsible for any payment disputes between Users and that any such disputes shall be resolved directly between Users.

                   D.      Payment Processing

The Platform enables certain payments to be completed between Sellers and Creators. Payment processing services for the Platform are provided by third party payment processors (collectively, the "Payment Providers"). All payments between Users will be processed through Payment Providers, which may require that You enter a separate agreement with the Payment Provider(s).  Archer is not a party to any such agreement and shall have no liability, responsibility or obligation under such agreement. You will be solely responsible for any fees charged by any Payment Provider (the "TransactionCosts").  It is Your responsibility to keep Your Payment Provider accounts current within the Platform, and Archer has no responsibility for incorrect or delayed payments. 

4. Permitted Uses of the Platform

Archer provides the Platform to Users to enable them to:  (i) build, manage, and market affiliate programs; (ii) allow Creators to search, view, and participate in affiliate programs; and (iii) enable communications between Users about affiliate programs (collectively the

"PermittedUse"). Your use of the Platform must be consistent with the Permitted Use and, as such, You agree to provide only true, complete, and accurate information to and through the Platform and to only use the Platform to communicate in a manner consistent with the Permitted Use. Any uses that are inconsistent with the Permitted Use are prohibited and may lead to the suspension of Your login credentials and account.

When You use the Platform, You may upload or provide content or information and communicate with others.  You agree that You have all appropriate rights to anything You provide to or through the Platform.  You also grant to Archer a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, fully paid-up, and worldwide license to access, collect, store, disclose and use any data, information, records and files that You provide to or through the Platform or that is provided by others who use the Platform for the purpose of providing the Platform, improving the Platform and related services, and producing data, information, or other materials that cannot be identified as relating to a particular individual or company ("Anonymized User Data"). Archer may use, process, store, disclose, and transmit the Anonymized User Data for any purpose and without restriction or obligation to Users other than as set forth herein.

Archer has the right (but not the obligation) to remove anything that You provide to or through the Platform in its sole discretion.  Please do not upload or provide any personal information to the Platform, as other Users will have the ability to see and use any such information.  Communications made by or to You through the Platform are neither confidential nor confidential information and Archer cannot and does not guarantee the security of data transmitted over the Internet or public networks in connection with Your use of the Platform.

5. Prohibited Uses of the Platform

You will not engage in any of the following on the Platform (collectively, the "ProhibitedUse"): (a) "frame", "mirror" or otherwise incorporate the Platform or any part thereof on any commercial or non-commercial website; (b) access, monitor or copy any part of the Platform using any robot, spider, scraper or other automated means or any manual process; (c) violate the restrictions in any robot exclusion headers on the Platform or bypass or circumvent other measures employed to prevent or limit access to the Platform; (d) take any action that imposes, or may impose, an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on the Platform; (e) deep-link to any portion of the Platform for any purpose; (f) remove any watermarks, labels or other legal or proprietary notices within the Platform; (g) modify or attempt to modify the Platform, including any modification for the purpose of disguising or changing any indications of the ownership or source of the Platform; (h) use the Platform as part of any service for sharing, lending or multi-person use; (i) attempt to, assist, authorize or encourage others to circumvent, disable or defeat any of the security features or components, such as digital rights management software or encryption, that protect the Platform; (j) copy, reproduce, modify, distribute, transfer, sell, publish, broadcast, perform, transmit, publish, license or circulate in any form any part of the Platform; (k) create adaptations, translations, or derivative works based on the Platform, in whole or in part, or decompile, disassemble, reverse engineer or other exploit any part of the Platform; (l) use of access the Platform in a manner that violates the rights (including, but not limited to intellectual property rights) of any third party; or (m) upload to or transmit through the Platform any information, images, text, data, media or other content that is, in the sole judgment of Archer, offensive, hateful, obscene, defamatory or that violates any laws.  You must promptly notify Archer of any known or suspected activity within Your account or through Your login credentials which is or may be a Prohibited Use.

6. Fees; Non-Circumvention

In general, Archer makes money by charging fees to Users relating to use of the Platform. The amount of the fees and charges (the "Platform Fees") may be disclosed on the appropriate page on the Archer website summarizing the transaction and requiring Your authorization before proceeding or through a separate written agreement with You, such as an order form. By using the Platform, You agree to pay all Platform Fees. Subject to applicable law and as authorized by Archer’s agreements with You, Archer reserves the right to adjust its pricing and fees at any time. 

For the avoidance of doubt, it shall be a material breach of this Agreement if any User makes or accepts payment of affiliate commissions outside of the Platform for any clicks, conversions, sales, or other commission-generating activities that are tracked using the Platform or takes any other action intended to circumvent or avoid Platform Fees.

7. Non-Payment

If You, as Seller, fail to pay any Platform Fees, commissions, or any other amounts when due, whether to Archer or to any Creator, Archer may, without notice, (i) temporarily suspend or permanently revoke Your access to the Platform, (ii) charge all or a portion of any amount of Platform Fees, commissions, or any other amounts due and owing to any Payment Method on file for You, and (iii) pursue any other remedies that may be available under applicable law or the terms of this Agreement.

In addition, Archer may make appropriate reports to credit reporting agencies and law enforcement authorities and cooperate with credit reporting agencies and law enforcement authorities in any investigation or prosecution.

Notwithstanding the temporary suspension or permanent revocation of Your access to the Platform due to non-payment, You shall remain responsible for any amounts that accrue on any open projects at the time a limitation is put on Your account. 

For the avoidance of doubt, Archer does not guarantee that any Seller is able to pay or will pay commissions and does not take responsibility to any Users for non-payment by any Seller. Furthermore, while Archer may pursue remedies for non-payment under this Agreement and as may be available under applicable law, it is not obligated to take any such specific actions, and its decision not to pursue any one or more remedies shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement.

8. Term and Termination; Suspension

The term of the Agreement will be as set forth in any applicable order form or, if no order form applies, until terminated by Archer or a User as provided in this Agreement or an applicable order form. 

In addition to any other express termination rights set forth in this Agreement or in any applicable order form: (a) Archer may terminate this Agreement, effective on written notice to You, if You fail to pay any amount when due hereunder, and such failure continues for more than ten (10) days after Archer’s delivery of written notice thereof; (b) either party may terminate this Agreement, effective on written notice to the other party, if the other party materially breaches this Agreement, and such breach is incapable of cure, or, being capable of cure remains uncured thirty (30) days after the non-breaching party provides written notice of such breach; or (c) either party may terminate this Agreement, effective immediately  upon written notice to the other party, if the other party (i) becomes insolvent or is generally unable to pay, or fails to pay, its debts as they become due; (ii) files or has filed against it, a petition for voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy or otherwise becomes subject, voluntarily or involuntarily, to any proceeding under any domestic or foreign bankruptcy or insolvency law; (iii) makes or seeks to make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (iv) applies for or has appointed a receiver, trustee, custodian, or similar agent appointed by order of any court of competent jurisdiction to take charge of or sell any material portion of its property or business. 

Upon the expiration or other termination of this Agreement, the respective rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall survive such expiration or other termination to the extent necessary to carry out the intentions of the parties under this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if You violate this Agreement (including without limitation Section 7) or engage in any Prohibited Use, Archer may temporarily suspend Your access to the Platform without notice.

Archer owns all right, title and interest in the Platform, all information, material, or content provided by Archer related to the Platform or contained within the Platform, and any update, adaptation, translation, customization or derivative work thereof, and all intellectual property rights in the Platform, which shall remain with Archer and its licensors.
