The Company will, however, use commercially reasonable efforts to associate all bona fide Referrals by You with Your account. To this end the Company currently associates a "cookie" or similar code in or with a visitor's browser, as allowed by the user's browser program, when the user first visits a Company website subject to a Program.
         
         
      5. (v)
         You further acknowledge and agree that when the Company grants you access to its co-reg API system you must follow all requirements set by Company during the co-reg process. This includes, but is not limited to,
         
         
      6. a.
         Following all necessary opt-in regulations as set by any business codes and/or privacy laws including but not limited to: GDPR, CCPA, LGPD or any other applicable federal, foreign, state and/or local regulations.
         
         
      7. b.
         Adhering to any verbiage required by Company in order to participate in the Company’s co-reg API system.
         
         
      8.     
         Any failure to follow these requirements will result in You being no longer permitted to participate in Company’s co-reg API system. In addition, it could also result in termination of your Affiliate account(s) and forfeiture of any and all funds/monies in relation to your Affiliate account(s). You agree to further indemnify Company for any claims or violations that may arise should you fail to follow proper privacy law regulations or any other legal requirements set by federal, state, foreign and/or local law.
         
         
   6. 6.6
      You acknowledge and agree that You shall not be entitled to a commission or Referral fee for any Company subscriber or any other purchases of services from Company who You sent or referred to Company website(s) in violation of the terms of this Agreement, or for any Company subscriber who does not fall within the terms of paragraphs 6.5 (i) & (ii) or who is excluded under the terms of paragraph 6.5 (iii).
      
      
      
   7. 6.7
      You also acknowledge and agree that You shall not be entitled to a commission or Referral fee of any kind from Company for any subscription that Company determines is the result of possible fraudulent activity. You further acknowledge and agree that Company shall have the right, in its sole and exclusive discretion, at any time to expand or modify what it determines to constitute possible fraudulent activity.
      
      
      
   8. 6.8
      Subject to Section 6.10 and the other terms of this Agreement, if You are participating in a Standard Commission Plan, You will be entitled to the program's applicable commission for as long as the referral continues to make purchases for as long as the Company maintains the particular Standard Commission Plan under which the You provided the subject Referral, regardless of whether You continue to promote the program actively unless and until the Referral becomes an Inactive Referred Customer. You acknowledge and agree that notwithstanding the foregoing, the commission rate You are paid is also at all times subject to Dormant Affiliate Rate adjustments as set forth in Paragraph 7.2. Nothing in this Paragraph 6.8 shall be construed to limit the Company's right to unilaterally terminate Your participation in any and all of the Company's Programs at Company's sole discretion.
      
      
      
   9. 6.9
      Right to Refuse Referrals. Company reserves the absolute right, in its sole discretion, to deny or refuse any prospective Referral and any person or entity participation in the Affiliate Program. This shall include but is not limited to any Referrals collected through email traffic. Company shall not be required to provide any reason or justification for denial of processing of a Referral or denial of participation in the Affiliate Program to any person or entity.
      
      
      
   10. 6.10
       Inactive Referred Customers. Your right to receive, and Company's obligation to pay to You, a commission in association with a standard commission program, or any other of the Company's Programs, shall not apply to any purchases made by any referred customer after the customer has become an "Inactive Referred Customer". For the purposes of this Agreement, an "Inactive Referred Customer" is any customer referred by You that has not made any new purchase of a service or product from the Company for a period of one hundred fifty (150) consecutive days or longer. You acknowledge and agree that Company shall have no obligation to commence paying or to continue to pay to You, any commission or other compensation of any kind for any Referral made by You where such Referral pertains to a customer has become an Inactive Referred Customer. Once a referred customer has become an Inactive Referred Customer, no commissions shall be paid to You for, or based on, any purchases made by such Inactive Referred Customer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, You may re-refer a customer that has become an Inactive Referred Customer and qualify to receive commission payments as set forth in this Agreement with respect to such new Referral provided that the subject customer has not become the Referral of another affiliate or has made a purchase in response to the Company's own advertising while such customer was an Inactive Referred Customer.
       
       The following examples are provided for purposes of clarity.
       
       
       
       1. Example 1.
          A customer referred to the Company by another affiliate, Affiliate X, who is a participant in one of the Company's Affiliate Programs makes purchases each month for 3 months after Affiliate X's initial referral of the customer to the Company. After the first 3 months, the customer fails to make any purchases for the next 18 months. You then refer the same customer to the Company, immediately after which he makes a number of purchases each month for the next 3 months. In this example, You, and not Affiliate X would be entitled to commission payments for the purchases made after Your referral, even though the customer was originally referred to the Company by Affiliate X. This is because the customer became an Inactive Referred Customer once one hundred and fifty days 12 months elapsed without a purchase.
          
          
       2. Example 2.
          A customer You have referred to the Company makes purchases each month for 3 months after You initially refer her. Then, in response to a Company advertisement, the customer makes her next purchase 4 months later (i.e., after a 4 month gap in purchases). In this example, You would be entitled to a commission payment, even though the customer purchase can be attributed to the Company's marketing efforts.
          
          
       3. Example 3.
          A customer makes purchases each month for the first 6 months after You referred him. After an 18-month gap in purchases, the customer then makes his next purchases 20 months after You first referred him. In this example, You would be entitled to commission payments only for the purchases he made during the first 6 months. You would not be entitled to a commission for the purchase he made after the 18-month gap in purchases or any purchases the customer may subsequently make. This is because he became an Inactive Referred Customer at the time one hundred and fifty days (about five months) elapsed between purchases.
          
          
       4. Example 4.
          Using the scenario in Example 3, assume that in the 14th month of the 18-month gap the customer makes a purchase in response to a referral by another affiliate. In this example, like Example 3, You would not be entitled to receive a commission payment because the customer became an Inactive Referred Customer once one hundred and fifty days (about five months) passed between purchases.
          
          
       5. Example 5.
          Continuing with the scenario in Example 3, assume that in the 14th month after You initially referred the customer You subsequently re-refer the Inactive Referred Customer. Provided that the Inactive Referred Customer has neither (a) become a referral of another participating affiliate nor (b) made a purchase in response to the Company's marketing efforts during the time he/she was an Inactive Referred Customer, then You would be entitled to a commission payment based on a brand new (i.e., second) Referral of the customer.
          
          
7. 7.
   Monthly Payments. For Affiliate Program payment options that generate ongoing commission payments, We will send out payments once a month within 15 business days of the end of each pay period. For any amount under $100.00 per month, or a under a reasonable minimum payment amount specified by You more than $100.00 per month, We will carry that amount to the following pay period. All revenues will be disbursed in U.S. Dollars. Notwithstanding anything herein, for international wire payments, the required minimum must be $100.00 USD AFTER applicable fees.
   
   
   
   1. 7.1
      Payment Processor Delay. In the event that payments to Us by Our payment processors pertaining to Referrals You have generated are delayed for any reason, you agree that We shall have a reasonable period of time for the receipt and processing of such payments, and for transmission of corresponding commissions or referral fee payments to You derived from said payments from Our payment processors.
      
      
      
   2. 7.2
      Dormant Affiliate Rate Adjustment. You acknowledge and agree that if the Company's records indicate that no new Referrals have been credited to Your account for a period of one hundred and fifty (150) days, then regardless of the rate of commission or other compensation previously paid to You for Referrals, Company shall have the option, but not the obligation, to unilaterally change the rate of commission for payment for Referrals to a "Dormant Affiliate Rate". Currently the Dormant Affiliate Rate is five percent (5%). Company may at its sole discretion change the Dormant Affiliate Rate at any time and/or change the Dormant Affiliate Rate applicable to one or more specific Affiliate Program participants at any time. You further acknowledge and agree that, without limiting Company's other termination options, Company also expressly reserves the right to terminate Your participation in any and all of Company's Programs if You fail to provide any Referrals for a period of one hundred and fifty (150) days. If Your account commission rate has been changed to a Dormant Affiliate Rate and You wish to reestablish a previous commission rate or otherwise change Your commission rate, You may request such change by contacting the Company at sales@flirt4free.com. You acknowledge and agree that the Company shall not at any time have any obligation to grant Your request and that the granting of such requests are at the sole discretion of the Company.
      
      
      
   3. 7.3
      No Payments Shall Be Due Or Payable To You If You Cannot Be Reasonably Contacted. You acknowledge and agree that You shall not be due or entitled to, and You shall not be paid any and all commissions and/or Referral fees for any and all Referrals and/or other commissions and/or Referrals resulting from subscriptions and/or any other purchases of services from Company resulting from persons You sent or referred to Company website(s) if the Company cannot, with reasonable certainty, in Company's sole determination, contact You to provide such commission or referral fee(s) to You. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, You expressly acknowledge and agree that if You fail to maintain current contact information on file with the Company, and the Company determines that due to difficulties contacting You it cannot, with reasonable certainty in the Company's opinion, provide payment(s) to You, or do so with reasonable assurance that such payment will reach You, after three (3) attempts over a six (6) month period, then Company shall be absolutely and incontestably entitled to cancel, and retake full possession, ownership and title of, all outstanding payment monies otherwise then due and payable to You and all future accruing payment monies otherwise then due and payable to You. You hereby acknowledge and agree that if the Company exercises its right to cancel outstanding payments to You as set forth in the previous sentence, that all such funds otherwise payable to You that are at that time held by the Company for payment to You shall automatically be assigned to, and become the sole property of, the Company and be deemed not to have ever been funds due or payable to You. You acknowledge and agree that the Company shall incontestably own all rights, title and interest in and to all such funds. You expressly acknowledge and agree that neither You nor any successor in interest, including without limitation, Your estate, shall ever raise any claim or bring any action to recover any funds assigned to, repossessed by, otherwise transferred to, or held by, the Company as a result of the Company's reasonable inability to contact You as set forth in this Paragraph.
      
      
      
   4. 7.4
      All Payment Disputes Must Be Brought To Company's Attention Within Thirty Days. If You think that a mistake has occurred regarding Your account, You must contact Us at sales@flirt4free.com within thirty (30) days of the subject transaction. You acknowledge and agree that thirty (30) days after a transaction has occurred, the subject transaction shall be deemed to be final and absolutely incontestable.
      
      
      
   5. 7.5
      Termination of Your Participation in Affiliate Program Terminates Affiliate Payment Obligations. You hereby acknowledge and agree that if the Company terminates Your participation in an Affiliate Program, which You hereby acknowledge it may freely do at any time at its sole election, with or without reason, then the Company shall, after such termination, have no other payment obligations to You of any kind regarding or arising from Your prior participation in the subject Affiliate Program.
      
      
      
8. 8.

9. 9.
   No Cheating.

   1. 9.1
      You acknowledge and agree that Company shall have the right to deny or withhold payment from You and to terminate You from any and all Affiliate Programs if there has been an abnormal number of chargebacks or cancellations of memberships or subscriptions that have been referred to any of the Company's websites through, from or in association with, Your website(s) or any websites associated with You.

       Without limiting the generality of the previous paragraph, You hereby acknowledge and expressly agree that any of the following prohibited acts or practices ((i) through (xiv), inclusive) by Your or any person or entity under Your direct or indirect control shall constitute a material violation of these terms and conditions and may result in ALL of Your accounts being terminated without pay and, at the Company's election result, upon written notice to You, in a complete assignment to the Company of any and all of Your accrued commissions, referral fees and other benefits prior to the termination:
       
       
       
       1. (i)
          Any initiation of a commercial electronic mail message or a transactional or relationship message (as those terms are specifically defined in the CAN-SPAM Act) (hereafter collectively referred to as a "CEMM") that contains or is accompanied by header information that is materially false or materially misleading, whereby, for the purposes of this paragraph-
          
          
          
          1. (a)
             The header information of CEMMs that is technically accurate but that includes an originating electronic mail address, domain name, or Internet Protocol address that was obtained by means of false or fraudulent pretenses or representations shall be considered materially misleading;
             
             
             
          2. (b)
             A "from" line that accurately describes any person who initiated the CEMM shall not be considered materially false or materially misleading; and
             
             
             
          3. (c)
             Header information shall be considered materially misleading if it fails to identify accurately the computer used to initiate the CEMM because the person initiating the messages knowingly uses another computer to relay or retransmit the message for purposes of disguising its origin;
             
             
             
       2. (ii)
          Any initiation of a transmission of a CEMM with actual knowledge, or knowledge fairly implied on the basis of objective circumstances, that a subject heading of the message would be likely to mislead a recipient about a material fact regarding the subject matter of the message;
          
          
          
       3. (iii)
          Any initiation of a transmission of a CEMM that does not contain a functioning return electronic mail address or other Internet-based mechanism, clearly and conspicuously displayed that-
          
          
          
          1. (a)
             A recipient of the CEMM may use to submit, in a manner specified in the message, a reply electronic mail message or other form of Internet-based communication requesting not to receive future commercial electronic mail messages from that sender at the electronic mail address where the message was received; and
             
             
             
          2. (b)
             Remain capable of receiving such reply requests or messages from the recipient for at least 30 days after the date of the transmission of the original CEMM;
