Venture.com^™ General Terms of Service for Affiliates

Please carefully read these General Terms of Service for Affiliates (these "Terms"). These Terms are a binding contract between Reinvent, Inc. ("Venture.com") and the person or organization accepting them as an Affiliate. They govern the Affiliate’s access to and use of the Affiliate account, dashboard and related platform tools provided by Venture.com. These Terms contain disclaimers, liability exclusions and limitations, and an indemnity. Please read them carefully.

In these Terms, an "Affiliate" is a person or organization that participates in a referral, affiliate, marketing or similar arrangement operated by the owner of a domain name listed on Venture.com’s online marketplace (an "Owner" and the "Marketplace"). Affiliates may access the platform tools only through an invitation issued in connection with an affiliate program operated by an Owner.

By selecting the acceptance checkbox during account creation or invitation acceptance, the Affiliate agrees to these Terms. The Affiliate also confirms that it has entered into a separate Affiliate Agreement with the Owner identified in the invitation. Venture.com is not a party to that agreement. A person acting for an organization represents and warrants that the person has authority to bind that organization.

1. Venture.com Does Not Operate an Affiliate Program

   Venture.com does not sponsor or operate the affiliate program offered by an Owner. Venture.com provides limited platform services that may include Affiliate accounts, referral links or promo codes, referral attribution, reporting and the display of commission information.

   Venture.com does not select or engage Affiliates, establish commission terms or become a party to an Affiliate’s arrangement with an Owner. Access to Venture.com does not create any right to receive a commission or other payment from Venture.com.

   Nothing in these Terms or the Affiliate’s use of the platform creates an employment, agency, partnership, joint venture or fiduciary relationship between Venture.com and the Affiliate. The Affiliate has no authority to make or accept any offer, representation, commitment or agreement on behalf of Venture.com.

2. Your Arrangement Is With the Owner

   The Affiliate’s participation in an Owner’s affiliate program is governed by the Affiliate’s separate Affiliate Agreement with that Owner. The Owner is solely responsible for establishing referral and attribution rules, setting commission rates, determining commission eligibility, approving or reversing referrals, paying amounts due, issuing any required tax records and resolving commission disputes.

   Venture.com does not receive, hold, invoice, deduct, pay, remit or enforce any commission or referral fee payable by an Owner to an Affiliate. Affiliate commissions are paid directly by the Owner and do not flow through Venture.com. Venture.com does not deduct Affiliate commissions from lease payments or direct a payment provider to remit commissions to an Affiliate.

   The Affiliate is solely responsible for the Affiliate’s own taxes, reporting obligations, fees and expenses arising from any amount received from an Owner.

3. Dashboard Information

   The dashboard may calculate and display referral activity and commission information using promo-code activity, platform records and commission settings provided or approved by the Owner. This information is provided for tracking and reporting purposes only. It may be delayed, incomplete, corrected, reversed or removed.

   Commission information displayed by Venture.com does not create, confirm or transfer a payment obligation to Venture.com. If an amount is shown as paid, that status means that it has been marked paid by the Owner and does not mean that Venture.com made or independently verified the payment.

   Questions concerning eligibility, commission rates, reversals, taxes or payment must be addressed to the Owner. Questions concerning an apparent technical error in Venture.com’s tracking or dashboard may be sent to Venture.com at support@venture.com.

4. Account Access, Confidentiality and Acceptable Use

   Subject to these Terms, Venture.com grants the Affiliate a personal, limited, revocable and non-transferable right to access and use the Affiliate account and dashboard solely for the Affiliate’s authorized business purposes. The Affiliate must provide accurate account information, keep account credentials secure and promptly notify support@venture.com if the Affiliate suspects unauthorized access.

   The Affiliate must not share access with an unauthorized person, access another user’s information, scrape or copy dashboard data in bulk, circumvent security controls, introduce malicious code or interfere with the Website or dashboard.

   Information available through the dashboard may be confidential or include personal information. The Affiliate may use it only as reasonably necessary to administer the Affiliate’s arrangement with the applicable Owner and in accordance with applicable law. Venture.com handles personal information as described in the Privacy Policy. Use of the Website and dashboard is also subject to the Acceptable Use Policy, as updated from time to time.

5. Affiliate Conduct

   The Affiliate is responsible for the Affiliate’s advertising, referrals and communications. The Affiliate must comply with the Affiliate Agreement with the Owner and all applicable advertising, disclosure, anti-spam, consumer protection, privacy, intellectual property and tax laws. The Affiliate must clearly disclose any material connection or compensation where required and must not send unlawful or unsolicited commercial messages.

   The Affiliate must not make false or misleading statements, use Venture.com’s name or trademarks without Venture.com’s prior written permission, represent that the Affiliate acts for or is approved or endorsed by Venture.com, imply that Venture.com operates the Owner’s affiliate program, use cookie stuffing, forced redirects, bots, fictitious referrals or other methods to create or manipulate referral attribution, use another person’s identity or referral code without authorization, or claim referral credit for a lease involving the Affiliate or a person or organization under the Affiliate’s control.

   Any permission to use an Owner’s name, domain name, trademarks or other brand assets must come from that Owner, not Venture.com.

6. Suspension or Closure

   The Affiliate may close the Affiliate account at any time by following the account closure process or contacting support@venture.com. Venture.com may suspend, restrict or close the Affiliate account or dashboard access for security reasons, suspected misuse, breach of these Terms, legal or regulatory requirements, an Owner’s instruction, or the suspension or termination of the applicable Owner program or the Affiliate’s arrangement with the Owner.

   Suspension or closure of dashboard access does not determine whether an Owner owes an amount to the Affiliate and does not transfer any Owner obligation to Venture.com.

7. Disclaimers, Liability and Indemnity

   THE AFFILIATE ACCOUNT, DASHBOARD AND RELATED PLATFORM TOOLS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE". TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, VENTURE.COM MAKES NO REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, CONDITION OR GUARANTEE, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING THEIR AVAILABILITY, SECURITY, ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.

   NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THESE TERMS, VENTURE.COM GROUP’S LIABILITY (IF ANY) TO THE AFFILIATE GROUP ARISING FROM, CONNECTED WITH OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS, THE AFFILIATE ACCOUNT, DASHBOARD OR RELATED PLATFORM TOOLS IS LIMITED TO DIRECT DAMAGES SUFFERED BY THE AFFILIATE GROUP ONLY. IN NO EVENT AND UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL VENTURE.COM GROUP BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY LOSS OR DAMAGE, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, INFORMATION, BUSINESS, MARKETS, SAVINGS, INCOME, PROFITS, USE, PRODUCTION OR GOODWILL, ANTICIPATED OR OTHERWISE.

   WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, VENTURE.COM GROUP WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS, DAMAGE, CLAIM, COST OR EXPENSE ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO AN OWNER’S AFFILIATE PROGRAM, ANY ACT OR OMISSION OF AN OWNER, THE ACCEPTANCE, REJECTION, ATTRIBUTION OR REVERSAL OF A REFERRAL, ANY COMMISSION, REFERRAL FEE, TAX, PAYMENT OR DISPUTE BETWEEN AN AFFILIATE AND AN OWNER, OR THE AFFILIATE’S ACCESS TO, USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE AFFILIATE ACCOUNT, DASHBOARD OR RELATED PLATFORM TOOLS.

   IN NO EVENT AND UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL VENTURE.COM GROUP’S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO THE AFFILIATE GROUP ARISING FROM, CONNECTED WITH OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS, THE AFFILIATE ACCOUNT, DASHBOARD OR RELATED PLATFORM TOOLS EXCEED $500, EXCEPT THAT THIS LIMITATION DOES NOT APPLY TO VENTURE.COM’S LIABILITY FOR DIRECT DAMAGE TO THE AFFILIATE RESULTING FROM A DELIBERATE WRONGFUL ACT BY VENTURE.COM THAT VENTURE.COM INTENDED AND KNEW WOULD RESULT IN DIRECT HARM TO THE AFFILIATE.

   THIS SECTION 7 APPLIES TO LOSS AND DAMAGE ARISING UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, INCLUDING CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, GROSS NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY AND STATUTE, EVEN IF VENTURE.COM WAS ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF THE LOSS OR DAMAGE OR THE LOSS OR DAMAGE WAS FORESEEABLE. NOTHING IN THESE TERMS EXCLUDES OR LIMITS LIABILITY THAT CANNOT LAWFULLY BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED.

   IN THIS SECTION 7, "VENTURE.COM GROUP" MEANS VENTURE.COM AND ITS CORPORATE PARENTS, AFFILIATES, SUBSIDIARIES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AGENTS, SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. "AFFILIATE GROUP" MEANS THE AFFILIATE AND, IF THE AFFILIATE IS AN ORGANIZATION, ITS CORPORATE PARENTS, AFFILIATES, SUBSIDIARIES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AGENTS, SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.

   THE AFFILIATE WILL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS VENTURE.COM GROUP FROM CLAIMS, LIABILITIES, LOSSES AND REASONABLE COSTS ARISING FROM THE AFFILIATE’S ADVERTISING OR REFERRAL ACTIVITIES, THE AFFILIATE’S ARRANGEMENT WITH AN OWNER, THE AFFILIATE’S BREACH OF THESE TERMS OR THE AFFILIATE’S VIOLATION OF APPLICABLE LAW. THE ALLOCATION OF RISK IN THESE TERMS IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN VENTURE.COM AND THE AFFILIATE.

8. Changes and General Terms

   Venture.com may update these Terms by posting a revised version or providing notice through the Affiliate account or email. The Affiliate’s continued use of the Affiliate dashboard after the revised Terms take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

   These Terms govern the Affiliate’s relationship with Venture.com regarding the Affiliate account, dashboard and related platform tools. They do not replace the Affiliate Agreement with an Owner. If there is a conflict, these Terms govern the Affiliate’s use of Venture.com’s platform, while the Affiliate Agreement with the Owner governs the Owner’s affiliate program and any amount payable by the Owner.

   These Terms are governed by the laws of British Columbia and the applicable federal laws of Canada. The courts located in Vancouver, British Columbia have exclusive jurisdiction, subject to any mandatory law that applies. If any provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in effect. Sections 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 and 8 survive suspension or closure of the Affiliate account.
