7. TRACKING AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION.

Company shall maintain the sole and authoritative tracking system for determining all commissions and referral attributions under this Program. Affiliate acknowledges that proper commission tracking requires correct implementation of Company-provided tracking links and codes. All tracking cookies shall remain valid for ninety (90) days from the initial click. In cases where multiple affiliates refer the same customer, the commission shall be attributed solely to the first properly tracked referral source.

Affiliate shall implement all tracking codes according to Company's specifications and maintain their proper functioning on Affiliate's platforms. Any manipulation or interference with tracking mechanisms is strictly prohibited. Company shall not be liable for any lost commissions resulting from improper implementation by Affiliate, ad blockers, browser settings, or any other technical issues outside Company's direct control.

All commission or tracking disputes must be submitted in writing within thirty (30) days of the disputed event. Each dispute submission must include a detailed description of the issue, supporting documentation, specific transaction details, and the requested resolution.

WAIVER OF CLASS ACTION ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN COMPANY AND AFFILIATE SHALL BE RESOLVED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS.

AFFILIATE EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO INITIATE OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION AGAINST COMPANY. IF ANY PORTION OF THIS CLASS ACTION WAIVER IS FOUND UNENFORCEABLE, ONLY THE UNENFORCEABLE PORTION SHALL BE SEVERED, AND THE REMAINING DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROVISIONS SHALL CONTINUE IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT.

Any unpaid commissions that have met the $100 payout threshold prior to termination shall be paid on the next scheduled payout date, provided such commissions were earned through legitimate activities and no fraud is discovered. Commissions below the threshold at termination shall be forfeited, and no commissions shall be paid for any conversions occurring after termination, even if related to leads referred prior to termination.

Company reserves the right to audit Affiliate's activities for 180 days following termination. Any violations discovered during this period may result in forfeiture of pending commissions, clawback of paid commissions, and legal action for damages.

8.4 Survival and Post-Termination Obligations:

Following termination, Affiliate's obligations regarding confidentiality, intellectual property protection, indemnification, and data protection shall survive. Affiliate must provide written certification of compliance with termination requirements within 10 days and maintain all required records for the specified retention period.

10. SEVERABILITY AND INTERPRETATION.

10.1 Severability:

If any provision of this Agreement, or any portion thereof, is held to be invalid, void, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. The unenforceability of any specific provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision.

10.2 Essential Terms:

Notwithstanding Section 10.1, if a court of competent jurisdiction finds either (a) the commission payment and calculation provisions of Section 3, (b) the Class Action Waiver provisions of Section 7, or (c) the HIPAA compliance and healthcare marketing provisions of Sections 4 and 6 to be invalid or unenforceable in their entirety, Company may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Affiliate. This termination right only applies if the essential provision cannot be reformed or modified to achieve its fundamental purpose while maintaining compliance with applicable law.

10.3 Reformation:

If any provision is found to be overly broad in scope, duration, or geographic area, such provision shall be reformed and enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law rather than being voided entirely, while maintaining the provision's intended purpose.

10.4 Interpretation:

This Agreement shall be interpreted as a whole to give effect to its essential purposes. The headings are for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of any provision.

11. INDEMNIFICATION.

Affiliate agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Company, its directors, officers, employees, agents, and other affiliates (collectively, "Indemnified Parties") from and against any and all third-party claims, actions, demands, liabilities, judgments, settlements, penalties, fines, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from or relating to Affiliate's promotional activities, breach of this Agreement, or violation of applicable laws or regulations.

Indemnified matters specifically include, but are not limited to, claims arising from false or misleading advertising claims, unauthorized medical or health-related claims, violations of healthcare marketing regulations, misuse of Company's intellectual property, violations of FTC guidelines or state advertising laws, breaches of confidentiality obligations, improper data handling or privacy violations, non-compliance with promotional methods requirements, misrepresentation of relationship with Company, Affiliate's negligent acts or omissions, and any claims of unfair competition or deceptive trade practices.

Upon notification of any claim subject to indemnification, Affiliate shall promptly assume the defense of such claim through counsel selected by Company. Affiliate shall cooperate fully in the defense of such claim and shall not settle any claim without Company's prior written consent. Affiliate shall reimburse Indemnified Parties for all reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses, court costs and litigation expenses, approved settlement payments, and any damages, penalties, or fines imposed in connection with such claims.

These indemnification obligations shall survive the termination of this Agreement and are independent of all other obligations hereunder. Affiliate's obligation to indemnify shall not be limited by any insurance recovery and shall apply regardless of Company's contribution to the liability. These indemnification obligations are not subject to any limitation of liability provision in this Agreement.

Company's decision to assume control of any defense shall not relieve Affiliate of its indemnification obligations. Should Company elect to participate in any defense with separate counsel, Affiliate shall continue to bear all costs and expenses, including Company's attorneys' fees, unless such separate representation is necessary due to a conflict of interest between Company and Affiliate, as determined by Company in its reasonable discretion.

12. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

Except as expressly provided in this Section, in no event shall Company be liable to Affiliate for any indirect, incidental, special, punitive, or consequential damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement or Affiliate's participation in the Program. This limitation applies regardless of whether such damages were foreseeable or Company has been advised of their possibility, and regardless of the theory of liability (including contract, tort, negligence, or other legal theory).

Company's total cumulative liability for any direct damages arising from or relating to this Agreement or the Program shall not exceed the amount of commissions actually paid to Affiliate under this Agreement during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to liability.

Without limiting the foregoing, Company specifically disclaims any liability for damages arising from:

(a) loss of revenue, profits, data, or business opportunities;

(b) interruption of business operations;

(c) failure of tracking systems or commission calculations;

(d) removal of Affiliate from the Program;

(e) modification of Program terms or commission structures;

(f) delays in commission payments; or

(g) technical malfunctions of any kind.

The limitations in this Section shall not apply to:

(a) death or personal injury caused by Company's negligence;

(b) damages arising from Company's willful misconduct or gross negligence;

(c) Company's indemnification obligations under this Agreement; or

(d) any other liability that cannot be limited by applicable law.

Affiliate acknowledges that these limitations of liability are an essential basis of the bargain between the parties and that Company would not enter into this Agreement without these limitations. The parties agree that these limitations shall apply even if any limited remedy specified in this Agreement is found to have failed of its essential purpose.

13. MODIFICATIONS TO AGREEMENT.

Company reserves the right to modify or amend this Agreement at any time in its sole discretion.

The terms of this Agreement shall prevail over any different, conflicting, or additional terms in any Affiliate's forms, proposals, websites, or other communications.

If any court determines that any provision of this Section is unenforceable because of duration, geographic scope, or otherwise, such provision shall be interpreted to extend only to the maximum extent permitted by law. The parties request that the court modify any invalid provision rather than declaring it void.

This Section shall survive termination of this Agreement. Affiliate's obligations under this Section are independent of any other obligations under this Agreement and shall not be affected by any claim of breach by Company.
