7. JVZoo Commission Fee. JVZoo will charge a commission fee of 5% of the gross selling price on each product or service sold by a Seller through the Affiliate Program. Mindless Donkey Inc.; BBC Systems Inc.; and JVZoo.com are all entities affiliated with Us, and payment of the commission fee to JVZoo may be reflected on Your account information as a payment to any of the foregoing entities.
Any commission fee which is not collected immediately will be invoiced within the JVZoo system. You may view this activity in the Invoices section of Your Account. Invoices that remain unpaid after fourteen (14) days will automatically be deducted from any owed commissions as reflected within JVZooPay. If there are not sufficient funds to collect and cover the invoice(s), JVZoo may limit, freeze, or permanently disable Your account. You understand and agree that We may attempt to collect funds for invoices from any JVZoo account You may have.
8. Product Library and Insertion Orders. Once You have registered for the Affiliate Program, You are free to list as many of Your products or services in the Product Library for which You would like to have Affiliates post Links and otherwise advertise. For each listing, You are free to determine the types of advertisements You would like Affiliates to use (including Links, banner ads, and other advertising materials), the kinds of media in which Your approved advertisements can appear, and how much of a commission fee per completed sale will be paid to an Affiliate for advertising such product or service. You must provide this information through an Insertion Order, which You and the Affiliate or Affiliates of Your choosing must sign.
9. Affiliate Commission Fee. You agree to pay the agreed-upon commission fee for each completed sale that an Affiliate with whom You have approved to sell your products or services sends to You through the Links or materials it posts in the approved media (the "Commission Fee"). If You do not elect in the applicable Product Library or in the relevant Insertion Order to use JVZooPay to pay a Commission Fee to an Affiliate (as detailed in Section 10 below) and You do not elect to use a delayed payment plan to pay a Commission Fee to an Affiliate (as hereafter detailed), the Affiliate will receive a Commission Fee for a completed sale once a customer or user completes an order form on the Seller's checkout page for the relevant product or service, completes the relevant form on Your selected JVZoo supported payment processor's website, and remits full payment for the product or service ordered from You. For each such order that completes the preceding process, Affiliate will receive the agreed-upon Commission Fee, and You agree to allow Your selected JVZoo supported payment processor to provide such Commission Fee for each such completed sale. Alternatively, as a Seller not using JVZooPay to pay Commission Fees to an Affiliate, You may have the option through Your JVZoo Account to elect a delayed payment plan for any Commission Fee to an Affiliate. Under such delayed payment plan, You agree to pay a Commission Fee to an Affiliate for each completed sale at least sixty (60) days after the date the customer or user completes an order form on the Seller's checkout page for the relevant product or service, completes the relevant form on Your selected JVZoo supported payment processor's website, and remits full payment for the product or service ordered from You. In the event You fail to pay any Commission Fee to an Affiliate within seventy (70) days after the date specified above, JVZoo reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to permanently prohibit You from utilizing JVZoo in any manner, including but not limited to, utilizing a JVZoo Account, and JVZoo may seek all remedies under this Agreement or by law to collect all outstanding amounts owed by You. Before You can elect to use such delayed payment plan, You must first provide JVZoo with Your valid credit card information. If You are an existing Seller electing to use such delayed payment plan for the first time, You will be required to provide Your valid credit card information before You can re-access Your JVZoo Account. By electing such a delayed payment plan and providing Your credit card information to JVZoo, You represent and warrant that the information You provide is valid, accurate, and complete, and You specifically authorize JVZoo to use such credit card information to secure payment for any amounts owed by You pursuant to this Agreement. You shall notify JVZoo immediately of any changes to the credit card information You supply. Failure to provide valid, accurate, and complete credit card information or to notify JVZoo of any changes to that information will cause You to lose eligibility for any delayed payment plan, in addition to any other remedies available to JVZoo.
10. JVZooPay Affiliate Commission Fee. As a Seller, You may have the option through your JVZoo Account or in the applicable Product Library or Insertion Order to elect to use JVZooPay to pay Commission Fees to Affiliates. In such case, the Commission Fee attributed to an Affiliate will be credited into the Affiliate's JVZooPay account balance for a completed sale once a customer or user completes an order form on the Seller's checkout page for the relevant product or service, completes the relevant form on Your selected JVZooPay supported payment processor's website, and remits full payment for the product or service ordered from You. For each order that completes the foregoing process, You agree to allow Your selected JVZooPay supported payment processor to pay such Commission Fee for each completed sale into JVZooPay, such that an Affiliate may receive the Commission Fee from JVZooPay in accordance with any applicable terms and conditions.
Additional terms concerning JVZooPay are found in Section 9 of the Affiliate Agreement (https://www.jvzoo.com/affiliateagreement), which is hereby incorporated by reference as if stated fully.

We will terminate Your Account and immediately dismiss you from the Affiliate Program if We determine that You have sent SPAM or Unsolicited Commercial E-mail, whether in connection with the Affiliate Program or otherwise, and You will not be entitled to any payment or reimbursement for funds remaining in Your JVZoo supported payment processing account or Your JVZooPay supported payment processing account. Further, You agree to comply with all U.S. state and federal SPAM laws, including, but not limited to, the Federal CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 and any rules or regulations promulgated by any Federal Trade Commission or any other federal agency thereunder. You also agree to indemnify Us from any liability connected with SPAM or unsolicited e-mail transmissions by You or connected to You.

If JVZoo requests such confirmation and Seller fails to provide such confirmation within two (2) business days of the request, and either (i) more than five (5) business days have elapsed since the customer placed the order with Seller, or (ii) the shipment period stated by Seller in Seller's advertisement, website, or offer to customer has passed, then JVZoo reserves the right to issue the customer a refund and offset that amount from amounts owed to Seller or otherwise obtain that amount from Seller, including charging any Seller account on file with JVZoo.

18. Indemnity. Seller will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless JVZoo, the Affiliates, and their affiliates, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns from and against all claims, actions, losses, liability, damages, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) (collectively "Claims") arising from, related to or associated with any acts or omissions of Seller, the advertisement, sale, or use of any of Seller's products or services (including any Physical Products), any breach of this Agreement by Seller, or any breach by Seller of any representations or warranties contained herein. JVZoo reserves the right, at Seller's expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by Seller hereunder. Seller hereby acknowledges that the Affiliates are intended third party beneficiaries of the foregoing indemnification obligation. No settlement may be consummated without JVZoo's express written authorization, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. As part of this indemnification obligation, JVZoo shall have the right of offset against any amounts owed hereunder to Seller for any indemnification obligations set forth above.
Seller will immediately notify JVZoo of any current, impending, or potential legal action against it by a third party for matters relating to JVZoo, the Affiliate Program, this Agreement, or any information provided in connection therewith (or any combination of the foregoing) when the same arises.
19. Confidentiality. Subject to the Privacy Policy set forth on the Site, in the course of this Agreement, each party may have access to confidential and proprietary information ("Confidential Information") relating to the Seller, JVZoo or Affiliates. Each party agrees not to disclose or disseminate the Confidential Information without prior express written consent from the relevant party to whom such Confidential Information relates, except to the extent required by law. The term "Confidential Information" shall include, without limitation, the terms of this Agreement (including pricing and payments) and information regarding existing or contemplated services, products, Affiliates, Sellers, processes, techniques, advertising or know-how, or any information or data developed pursuant to the performance of the services. However, Confidential Information shall not include information that is or becomes part of the public domain through no action or omission of the receiving party, that becomes available to the receiving party from third parties without such receiving party's knowledge of any breach of fiduciary duty, or that the receiving party had in its possession prior to the date of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the ratings published by JVZoo on the Site or the Seller's sales information and general performance data for Seller's participation in the Affiliate Program be deemed Confidential Information.
20. EU Personal Data. As of May 25, 2018, You agree that at any time when You have not accepted the JVZoo Data Processing Addendum (or when it is not in full force and effect for any other reason), You shall be prohibited from Processing Client Personal Data regulated by EU Data Protection Laws (all capitalized references in this Section 20 and not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meaning defined in the said Addendum), including, but not limited to, the EU General Data Protection Regulation) or requesting that JVZoo Process such Client Personal Data on your behalf, and shall be obligated to immediately cease and desist from any such Processing activities, for as long as the said Addendum is not in full force and effect. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless JVZoo and its officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, successors, and permitted assigns against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, claims, actions, judgments, settlements, interest, awards, penalties, fines, costs, or expenses of whatever kind which JVZoo may sustain as a consequence of the breach by You of Your obligations pursuant to this paragraph.

You acknowledge and agree that if You fail to fully comply with all of the requirements listed above, Your DMCA notice may not be valid.
If You believe that content You submitted that was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or that You have the authorization from the copyright owner, the copyright owner's agent, or pursuant to the law, to post and use the content, You may send a counter-notification containing the following information to JVZoo's designated copyright agent, at the above address/email:

4. Your name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address, a statement that You consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court in Seminole County, Florida, and a statement that You will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement.
If a counter-notice is received by JVZoo's copyright agent, We may send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party informing that party that We may replace the removed content or cease disabling it in 10 business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the content provider, member or user, the removed content may be replaced, or access to it restored, in 10 to 14 business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at JVZoo's sole discretion.
Please note that under Section 512(f) of the Act, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification may be subject to liability. Please also be advised that We enforce a policy that provides for the termination in appropriate circumstances of subscribers who are repeat infringers.
