You must be approved by Clickety before your participation in any Affiliate Program on behalf of an Partner Service or if you wish to sign up as a Marketing Affiliate. Clickety reserves the right to withhold or refuse approval for any reason or for no reason. Once you have been approved, your continued right to participate is conditioned upon the ongoing compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Your failure to observe the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the privacy policy or acceptable use policy posted on Clickety’s web site will disqualify you from participating in an Affiliate Program. Approval may be withdrawn by Clickety or a Partner Service, at any time for any reason.

2.1. To begin the enrollment process, you will complete and submit the online application at the Clickety website. We will evaluate your application at our convenience, which is at a minimum 72 hours after submission. We may reject your application at our sole discretion.

We will reject your application or cancel an existing affiliate account if we determine that your site is unsuitable for our Program, including if it:

You may not create or design your website or any other website that you operate, explicitly or implicitly, in a manner which resembles our website nor design your website in a manner which leads customers to believe you are Clickety or any other affiliated business or Partner Service.

All affiliates that send advertisements via email must have the consent of the recipient to send such email and shall maintain records evidencing such consent including, without limitation: (a) Consumer opt-in date; (b) Registration source; © First name; (d) Last name; (e) Email address; (f) Privacy Policy of Source Site; (g) Any other information collected; and (h) affiliate will supply such records to Company within one (1) business day of a request.

Unless otherwise approved in writing by Clickety, you may not offer incentives to users to enhance the performance of any program; incentives include but are not limited to awarding them cash, points, prizes, contest entries, etc.

You may not bid on any variations of Clickety’s or a Partner Service’s brand terms in any keyword-based pay-per-click search engines, including, without limitation, Google and Bing.

Affiliate and Partner websites must be fully functional at all levels

Affiliate’s and Partner’s policies must be compliant with state and federal laws and regulations including but not limited to the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003.

Spawning process pop-ups are prohibited.

Such other criteria as Clickety may from time to time adopt or determine, in its sole discretion, with or without notice to you.

All affiliates and partners shall maintain and post in a conspicuous manner on all its websites involved in the Affiliate Programs, a privacy policy that clearly and adequately describes how consumer information is collected and used. The privacy policy must fully and accurately disclose your use of third-party technology, use of cookies, and options for discontinuing use of such cookies. Clickety reserves the right to review your privacy policy as necessary. Failure to have a privacy policy may result in termination from the Program.

2.3. As a member of Clickety’s Affiliate Program, you will have access to Affiliate Control Panel. Here you will be able to review our Program’s details and currently active campaigns, download HTML code for text links and banner creatives (that provide for links to landing pages within the Roommates.com web site).

2.4. Clickety reserves the right, at any time, to review your affiliate link placement and reject the use of links and require that you change the placement or use to comply with the guidelines provided to you.

2.5. The maintenance and the updating of your site will be your responsibility. We may monitor your site as we feel necessary to make sure that it is up-to-date, for compliance with these terms of use, for compliance with applicable law, or to notify you of any changes that we feel should enhance your performance.

2.6. It is entirely your responsibility to comply with all applicable intellectual property and other laws that pertain to your site. You must have express permission to use any person’s copyrighted material, whether it be a writing, an image, or any other copyrightable work. We will not be responsible (and you will be solely responsible) if you use another person’s copyrighted material or other intellectual property in violation of the law or any third-party rights.

2.7. It is your obligation to review the Terms of Service for the Affiliate Program regularly. You must stay aware of any changes to the Clickety Terms of Service, although Clickety will use its reasonable efforts to notify you of any changes.

If you do not make the changes to your site that we feel are necessary, we reserve the right to terminate your participation in the Affiliate Program.

3.2. Clickety actively monitors traffic for fraud. If fraud is detected, your account will be made inactive pending further investigation.

In addition, if you have already received payment for fraudulent activities, Clickety reserves the right to seek credit or remedy from future earnings or to demand reimbursement from you.

  1. Disputes

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPHS CAREFULLY BECAUSE THEY REQUIRE YOU TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES WITH CLICKETY, AND LIMIT THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM US.

Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this contract, or the breach thereof, shall be settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules, including the Optional Rules for Emergency Measures of Protection. The arbitration hearing shall take place in Maricopa County, Arizona, before a single arbitrator, or if no hearing is required, without a hearing, as determined by the arbitrator. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. No demand for arbitration may be made after the date when the institution of legal or equitable proceedings based on such claim or dispute would be barred by the applicable statute of limitation in the State of Arizona. The arbitrator is not authorized to award punitive or other damages not measured by the prevailing party’s actual damages. If this arbitration clause is held invalid, the parties agree that the exclusive forum for any litigation arising between the parties will be a court of competent jurisdiction in Maricopa County, Arizona. This arbitration provision will survive the termination of your relationship with Company.

Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND CLICKETY HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY, instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient, and less costly than rules applicable in court and are subject to very limited review by a court. In the event any litigation should arise between you and Clickety in any state or federal court in a suit to vacate or enforce an arbitration award or otherwise, YOU AND CLICKETY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, instead electing that the dispute be resolved by a judge.

Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. Notwithstanding any other provision in these Terms, in the event that this subparagraph is deemed invalid or unenforceable, neither you nor we are entitled to arbitration and instead all claims and disputes shall be resolved in a court located in Maricopa County, Arizona.

Confidentiality. No part of the procedures shall be open to the public or the media. All evidence discovered or submitted at the hearing is confidential and may not be disclosed, except by written agreement of the parties, pursuant to court order or unless required by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no party shall be prevented from submitting to a court of law any information necessary to enforce this Arbitration Agreement, to enforce an arbitration award, or to seek injunctive or equitable relief.

Right to Waive. Any or all of the rights and limitations set forth in this Arbitration Agreement may be waived by the party against whom the claim is asserted. Such waiver shall not waive or affect any other portion of this Arbitration Agreement.

Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or Clickety may bring an individual action in small claims court of competent jurisdiction.

Courts. Except for a party’s right to bring an individual action in small claims court, in any circumstances where the foregoing Arbitration Agreement permits the parties to litigate in court, the parties hereby agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located in Maricopa County, Arizona, for such purpose.

16. Applicable Law

Any dispute between you and Clickety will be governed by these Terms and the laws of the State of Arizona and applicable United States law, without giving effect to any conflict-of-laws principles that may provide for the application of the law of another jurisdiction.

17. Severability

If any provision of these Terms shall be deemed unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

18. Complete Agreement

These Terms supersede all prior understandings regarding the same and represent the complete agreement between you and Clickety. These Terms do no create or confer any third-party beneficiary rights. We may change or modify these Terms at any time and in our sole discretion. If we make changes to these Terms, we will provide notice of such changes, such as by sending a notification, posting a notice on the Services, or updating the “Last Updated” date above. Your continued use of the Services will confirm your acceptance of the revised Terms. We encourage you to frequently review the Terms to ensure you understand the terms and conditions that apply to your use of the Services. If you do not agree to the amended Terms, you must stop using the Services and delete your Clickety account.
