- Your Account
You will need your own GFT account to use GFT Services, and you are required to be logged in to the account and may need or choose to have a valid payment method associated with it. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account, your credentials to access your account, and for restricting access to your account, and you agree to accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account. You should take all necessary steps to ensure that your account credentials are kept confidential and secure and should take action immediately to change those credentials if you have any reason to believe that your account credentials have become compromised, including being known to anyone else, or if being used or likely to be used in an unauthorized manner.

- GFT’s Role & Your Role
GFT allows third party companies including, but not limited to, brands, retailers, publishers, distributors, and marketing agencies (collectively, hereinafter, a “Marketer” or “Marketers”) to create, list, fund, offer and settle their digital products and services or rewards (collectively, hereinafter, “Campaign” or “Campaigns”) to shoppers or consumers (hereinafter, “Consumer” or “Consumers”) on GFT Sites. Such Campaigns may include, but are not limited to, digital campaigns, games, collectibles, videos, pictures, rebates, debit cards, coupons, and artwork. For each Campaign created by a Marketer, the Marketer pays GFT with the required sum of money for that Campaign before it is published (“Publish”, “Published”, “Publication” or “Publishing”). Publishing a Campaign means the rewards for that Campaign are made available to Consumers who can use, buy, transfer, sell or redeem the reward from that Campaign. A Marketer’s Campaigns, and any terms and conditions added by the Marketer related thereto, are available to Consumers through GFT Sites including, but not limited to, gftrewards.com. GFT reserves, at its sole discretion, to offer a Marketer’s Campaigns through GFT Sites. While GFT helps facilitate transactions with Marketers, GFT is neither the Consumer, a user nor Marketer of the Marketer’s Campaigns. Accordingly, the contract formed between a Marketer’s Campaigns with Consumers is solely between the Consumer and the Marketer (the “Contract”). GFT is not a party to the Contract, is not the Marketer’s agent, and assumes no responsibility arising out of or in connection with the Contract. The Marketer is solely responsible for its Campaigns and for dealing with any Consumer claims or any other issue arising out of or in connection with the Contract between the Consumer and the Marketer.
You acknowledge that you are fully assuming the risks of conducting any transactions in connection with using the GFT Sites or GFT Services, and that you are fully assuming the risks of liability or harm of any kind in connection with subsequent activity of any kind relating to the Campaigns that are the subject of transactions using the GFT Sites or GFT Services. Such risks shall include, but are not limited to, misrepresentation of Campaigns, fraudulent schemes, unsatisfactory quality, failure to meet specifications, unlawful Campaigns, intellectual property complaints, delay or default in delivery or payment, cost miscalculations, breach of warranty and breach of contract. Such risks also include the risks that the importation, export, offer, display, purchase, sale and/or use of Campaigns offered or displayed on the GFT Site or through GFT Services may be asserted to violate Third Party Rights, and the risk that you may incur costs of defense or other costs in connection with third parties’ assertion of Third Party Rights, or in connection with any claims by any party that they are entitled to defense or indemnification in relation to assertions of rights, demands or claims by Third Party Rights claimants. Such risks also include the risks that Consumers or others suffer harms, injuries and/or assert claims to have suffered injuries or harms that may be directly or indirectly relate to a Campaign originally obtained through a GFT Site or the GFT Services as a result of a transaction. All of the foregoing risks are hereafter referred to as “Transaction Risks”. You agree that GFT shall not be liable or responsible for any damages, claims, liabilities, costs, harms, inconveniences, business disruptions or expenditures of any kind that may arise as a result of, or in connection with, any Transaction Risks.
You are solely responsible for all of the terms and conditions of the transactions conducted on, through or as a result of use of the GFT Site or GFT Services, including, without limitation, terms regarding sales, payment, refunds, disputes, insurance, royalties, fees, taxes, licenses, fines and permits.
- Refunds
At our sole and absolute discretion, a refund may be issued without requiring completion of any dispute process contained in a GFT Service.
- Service Descriptions
GFT attempts to be accurate with all GFT Services. However, GFT does not warrant that service descriptions or other content of any GFT Service is accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free. If a service offered by GFT itself is not as described, your sole remedy is to request a full or partial refund of any monies paid for the use of that service, and only where such monies are not already part of a transaction between a Marketer and a Consumer. However, note that GFT takes no responsibility for any part of a Campaign including, but not limited to, the Campaign’s artwork, description, website references and terms and conditions.
- Pricing
“Cost” means the cost that the Marketer enters for the Campaign, or if more than one Campaign, the sum of such Costs for all Campaigns. “Price” means the price or budget of a Campaign inclusive of any GFT Referral Fees (see Section 12 below) charged to the Marketer and, if applicable, your taxes (to the extent, as illustrated by the example below, that your taxes are known at the time the Price is calculated).
With respect to Campaigns offered or sold by Marketers through GFT Sites, we cannot confirm or guarantee the Price of that Campaign even where the Marketer completes their Campaign order and chooses to pay the Price of their Campaign. Note that Campaigns may not fully reflect the correct Price, including for reasons beyond GFT’s control: by way of example only, such factors include where your taxes, such as sales and use taxes, (“Your Taxes”) are required to be levied based on the location of a Consumer’s redemption; thereby, unless the location is restricted by the Marketer when creating the Campaign, such location-based sales and use taxes are unknown until a Consumer redemption occurs.
If the correct Price of a Campaign is higher than the stated Price, we will, at our discretion, either: (1) contact the Marketer for instructions before confirming the order for the Campaign, (2) cancel the Marketer’s order and notify the Marketer of such cancellation; or (3) if related to Your Taxes, require immediate payment by the Marketer for such charges, which the Marketer agrees to promptly remit to GFT.
Should a Marketer fail to promptly remit payments owed to GFT, whether for adjustments to the Price or for any other reason, GFT reserves the right to require the Marketer to owe and promptly remit to GFT an interest charge (“Interest”). The Interest that will accrue will commence once any amount is due to GFT for at least 30 days, and will be calculated at the prevailing or latest rate of inflation cited by the International Monetary Fund (“IMF”) at https://www.imf.org/external/datamapper/PCPIEPCH@WEO/OEMDC/ADVEC/WEOWORLD plus 2.5% annual percentage rate. Interest will be calculated and become due to GFT on a daily basis and will continue to accrue until there are no amounts due to GFT that have been due for more than 30 days. Should the IMF not cite a prevailing or latest rate of inflation for a country, the Interest rate shall accrue on the foregoing basis at a rate of 20% annual percentage rate.
For a Marketer’s Campaign, no payment is due from the Marketer until the Marketer chooses to pay the Price for their Campaign. Only Campaigns where a Marketer has paid the Price can be Published and, thereby, become available for distribution to Consumers.
- Marketer Referral Fees and Other Fees
Marketers will pay us: (a) the applicable Referral Fees; (b) any other applicable fees described in this Terms of Use (including any applicable Program Policies); and (c) where applicable, Your Taxes. With respect to each Campaign that a Marketer wants to pay for: “Referral Fee” means the applicable fee based on the Marketer Fee Schedule for the particular Campaign at the time of payment; this Referral Fee is based on GFT’s categorization of the type of Campaign being funded. Note that the total Price that is due from a Marketer may include additional expenses and other charges such as Your Taxes, and any amounts that you (as a Marketer) has failed to pay to us or our affiliates on or before an applicable due date.
- App Permissions
When you use apps created by GFT (each a GFT Site), such as the mygft.com progressive web app, you may grant certain permissions to us for your device. Most devices provide you with information about these permissions.
- GFT Services: Notifications
GFT Services include functionality enabling you to receive notifications, escalations and actions (collectively, “Notifications”) that may be triggered as a result of another party’s action or inaction. By way of example only, Notifications regarding low remaining Marketer funds due to Consumer redemptions. The Notification may be an indicator based on established triggers or settings that a user provided or entered. Any such notifications should not be viewed, nor be construed to be viewed, as any indicator of a user’s or party’s compliance with any law, ordinance, rule, regulation, order, license, permit, judgment, decision, or other requirement, now or in the future in effect, of any governmental authority (e.g., on a federal, state, or provincial level, as applicable) of competent jurisdiction (collectively, “Laws”), or performance, standards, practices, or any other matter. We are not responsible for, and we do not warrant, the compliance status or offerings of any business or individual. GFT does not assume any responsibility or liability for the actions, compliance, services or content resulting from the action or inaction of any user, whether a Marketer or a Campaign, a Consumer, a retailer or any other party that uses GFT Sites or GFT Services.
- GFT Services: Referees
If you provide a business referee, or are otherwise vouched for, sponsored, or validated by another individual or business, you represent, warrant and agree that you have obtained all necessary consents, approvals and waivers from that individual or business to (a) act in the capacity for which you were vouched for, sponsored or validated; (b) post and publish on their behalf or as their duly authorized representative; and (c) that GFT or third-parties may contact you or your referee, with or without your consent, to seek support for claims or statements made about you.
- GFT Services: Authentication
You are hereby made aware that there may be risks of dealing with people acting under false pretenses. Because verification on the Internet is difficult, GFT cannot and does not provide any guarantees of any user’s purported individual or business identity. We encourage you to use various means, as well as common sense, to evaluate with whom you are dealing.
As a Marketer creating Campaigns on GFT Sites as well as on other websites, you agree that: (i) you may be required to authenticate your business to participate in certain GFT Services (including, but not limited to, creating Campaigns) and that GFT has no responsibility or liability for your decision to participate in these GFT Services or any authentication requirement associated with those GFT Services; (ii) you, as the contact person, are an authorized representative of the individual or business that is represented on the GFT Sites; and; (iii) you shall not use, for any purpose or in any manner whatsoever, any GFT authentication decision without the prior written consent of GFT. If you choose to provide information, documents or transmit any details to GFT, you thereby authorize GFT or its chosen third party service provider to conduct due diligence to determine the authenticity of such information, documents or details. You agree to provide all necessary information and render all reasonable assistance and cooperation that GFT or its third party may require in order to complete verification of your identity and/or authenticate the information, documents or details you have provided. You agree not to hold GFT and/or our affiliates liable for any errors or omissions made, whether or not negligent, intentional or otherwise.

- Other Businesses using GFT Services
Parties other than GFT operate through the GFT Services to, by way of example only, promote their Campaigns. In addition, we may provide links to the sites of affiliated companies, certain other businesses and other parties. If you purchase, use, consume or interact in any way with the digital products or services offered by these businesses or individuals, such interactions or transactions are directly with those third parties, and are not with GFT. We are not responsible for examining or evaluating, and we do not warrant, the offerings of any of these businesses or individuals (including, if applicable, the content of their Websites to which they may direct you). GFT does not assume any responsibility or liability for the actions, products, services, documents or content of any third parties. You should carefully review third party’s privacy statements, and their terms and other conditions of use. Any material downloaded or otherwise obtained through the use of GFT Services is at your sole discretion and risk and you are solely responsible for any damage to your device, computer system or loss of data that may result from the download of any such material. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from GFT Services or through or from the GFT Services shall create any warranty not expressly stated in this Terms of Use, or any GFT policies, terms and conditions.
As some or part of the GFT Services may be supported and provided by affiliates of GFT, GFT may delegate some of the Services to its affiliates, who you agree may invoice you for any purchases you make.
- Offshore Entities
Businesses which are deemed as offshore entities (“Offshore Entity”) will not be eligible to use GFT pursuant to this Terms of Use. For purposes of this Terms of Use, an Offshore Entity shall refer to businesses that are either (a) registered or incorporated outside the country in which it has its main offices and operations, or (b) businesses which are registered or incorporated outside the country where its principal shareholders reside. Notwithstanding the aforementioned, GFT shall have sole and absolute discretion to determine whether your business will be deemed as an Offshore Entity for purposes of this Terms of Use. In the event this occurs, GFT shall be entitled to terminate this Terms of Use pursuant to Section 30, and you agree that GFT shall be entitled to any fees paid or payments made by that Offshore Entity without any liability to you. Further, GFT shall have no liability to any Offshore Entity for any canceled orders, contracts, or other business you may have planned to conduct, or are conducting, using GFT Services.
- Bribery, Corruption & Other Inappropriate Business Practices
Corruption, bribery, extortion, embezzlement, and other questionable/inappropriate business practices, in any form are strictly prohibited. You and your business shall not violate the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), the U.K. Bribery Act, any international anti-corruption conventions, and any applicable anti-corruption laws and regulations of any other countries in which you or your business operate, and you and your business shall not engage in the practice of corruption, extortion or embezzlement in any form. You and your business shall not offer bribes or other means to obtain an undue or improper advantage. You and your business shall not, under any circumstances, tolerate the giving or receiving of undue reward to influence the behavior of another individual, organization, politician or government body, so as to acquire a commercial advantage; this extends to all operations, regardless of whether bribery is otherwise tolerated and condoned. You and your business must conduct business in a fair, transparent and ethical manner at all times. Nothing in this Terms of Use, or any GFT policies, terms and conditions, shall be construed as intended to limit or restrict activities that may be otherwise lawful.
- Conflicts of Interest
You and your business are required to avoid any relationship or activity that might create or give the appearance of creating a conflict of interest. A conflict of interest would be (i) any set of circumstances where GFT’s proprietary or confidential information could be compromised; or (ii) where GFT’s best interests may be compromised, in any manner or way, in favor of yourself or another party.
- Your Materials
GFT shall have the right, but shall not be obliged, to monitor or examine any information and materials including Campaigns or any website link that you Publish or submit for Publishing on GFT Services (“Your Materials”). Publishing of Your Materials shall by no means mean that GFT has endorsed, authenticated or otherwise certified the contents of Your Materials. You shall be solely responsible for the contents of Your Materials.
You may Publish, subject to payment of any applicable fees including but not limited to GFT Referral Fees, Your Materials, which may include but are not limited to a description of you, your products and services, your business, photos, videos, and other content, so long as Your Materials, or any part thereof, are not illegal, obscene, threatening, defamatory, invasive of privacy, infringing of intellectual property rights (including publicity rights, trademark rights and/or copyrights), or otherwise injurious to third parties or objectionable, and Your Materials do not consist of or contain software viruses, political campaigning, commercial solicitation outside of the GFT Services, chain letters, mass mailings, or any form of “spam” or unsolicited commercial electronic messages. You may not use a false e-mail address, impersonate any person, business or entity, or otherwise mislead as to the origin of any of Your Materials.
If, in GFT’s reasonable opinion, any of your activities using GFT Services or any of Your Materials (including information accessible through a link in Your Materials), are in violation of any Laws and regulations or a third party’s legitimate rights (including without limitation intellectual property rights), this Terms of Use that may otherwise subject GFT or its affiliates to liability, GFT reserves the right (but not the obligation), in its sole discretion, to remove, edit or otherwise alter Your Materials, or any part thereof, and/or limit or suspend the provision of the GFT Services or any part thereof (including, without limitation, limiting the number or types of digital product or services listings that you can Publish on the GFT Services for such duration as GFT may, in its sole discretion, consider appropriate).

You represent and warrant that you own or otherwise control all of the rights to Your Materials; that Your Materials are accurate; that use of the content you supply in Your Materials does not violate this policy and will not cause injury to any person or entity; and that you will indemnify GFT for all claims resulting from Your Materials you supply.

Important Warning: Sending GFT false, misleading or inaccurate information may result in civil and/or criminal liability. You should contact a legal advisor should you have any questions.
- Notice and Procedure for Notifying GFT of Defamatory Content
Because many Campaigns and services are listed or are available on GFT Sites, it is not possible for us to be aware of the contents of each Campaign or service that is available, displayed or listed for sale. Accordingly, we operate on a “notice and action” basis. If you believe that any content on or within a Campaign or service on GFT Sites contains a defamatory statement, please notify us immediately by contacting us at assistance@GFTrewards.com with the subject line “Defamation Notice [insert your name]”
Important Warning: Sending GFT false, misleading or inaccurate information to GFT on Defamatory Content on GFT Sites may result in civil and/or criminal liability.
- Warranties and Liability
We attempt to ensure that the availability of GFT Services will be uninterrupted and that transmissions will be error-free. However, due to the nature of the internet, this cannot be guaranteed. Also, your access to GFT Services may also be occasionally suspended or restricted to allow for repairs, maintenance, or the introduction of new facilities or services. We will attempt to limit the frequency and duration of any such suspension or restriction.
THE GFT SERVICES AND ALL INFORMATION, CONTENT, MATERIALS, PRODUCTS (INCLUDING SOFTWARE) AND OTHER SERVICES INCLUDED ON OR OTHERWISE MADE AVAILABLE TO YOU THROUGH THE GFT SERVICES ARE PROVIDED BY GFT ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED IN WRITING. GFT MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE OPERATION OF THE GFT SERVICES, OR THE INFORMATION, CONTENT, MATERIALS, PRODUCTS (INCLUDING SOFTWARE) OR OTHER SERVICES INCLUDED ON OR OTHERWISE MADE AVAILABLE TO YOU THROUGH THE GFT SERVICES. YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF THE GFT SERVICES IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK.
TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMISSIBLE BY LAW, GFT DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. GFT DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE GFT SERVICES, INFORMATION, CONTENT, MATERIALS, PRODUCTS (INCLUDING SOFTWARE) OR OTHER SERVICES INCLUDED ON OR OTHERWISE MADE AVAILABLE TO YOU THROUGH THE GFT SERVICES, GFT’S SERVERS OR ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS SENT FROM GFT ARE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS. TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMISSIBLE BY LAW, GFT WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES OF ANY KIND ARISING FROM THE USE OF ANY GFT SERVICE, OR FROM ANY INFORMATION, CONTENT, MATERIALS, PRODUCTS (INCLUDING SOFTWARE) OR OTHER SERVICES INCLUDED ON OR OTHERWISE MADE AVAILABLE TO YOU THROUGH ANY GFT SERVICE, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, AND CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED IN WRITING.

The Laws of some countries do not allow part, some or all of the limitations described above. If these Laws apply to you, part, some or all of the above limitations may not apply to you and you might have additional rights.
- Disputes
You irrevocably agree that any dispute or claim you have that relates, in any way, to your use of any GFT Service, including Campaigns, available through any GFT Sites, collectively a “Dispute”, will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert a Dispute in small claims court if your claims qualify. The US Federal Arbitration Act and US federal arbitration law will apply to all Disputes.
There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow the terms of these Terms of Use as a court would.
To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your Dispute to our registered agent Mr. Bryan Williams at 410 S. Rampart Blvd, Ste. 350, Las Vegas, Nevada 89145, USA, marking it for the attention of Greenfence Consumer, LLC DBA GFT Rewards. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules. The AAA’s rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling +1 800 778 7879. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions or conducted in person, subject to AAA rule requirements, and you unconditionally consent to it being conducted in Clark County, Nevada, USA or Los Angeles County, California, USA.
We each agree that any Disputes will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If, for any reason, a Dispute proceeds in court, rather than in arbitration, we each waive any right to a jury trial. We also both agree that you or we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.

ADDITIONAL GFT MARKETER AGREEMENT FOR PARTIES OTHER THAN CONSUMERS
General Terms
Welcome to GFT Marketer Solutions, a suite of optional services available for parties such as Marketers, Retailers, Point-of-Sale providers, and other businesses (each a party).
THIS GFT MARKETER SOLUTIONS AGREEMENT (THE “MARKETER AGREEMENT”) CONTAINS THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS THAT GOVERN ACCESS TO AND USE OF GFT SERVICES (each a “Service” or, collectively, “Services”) AND IS AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU OR THE BUSINESS YOU REPRESENT AND GFT. BY REGISTERING FOR OR USING GFT SERVICES, YOU (ON BEHALF OF YOURSELF OR THE BUSINESS YOU REPRESENT) AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS MARKETER AGREEMENT, INCLUDING ANY SERVICE TERMS AND PROGRAM POLICIES THAT APPLY FOR EACH COUNTRY FOR WHICH YOU REGISTER OR ELECT TO USE A SERVICE (IN EACH CASE, THE “ELECTED COUNTRY”).
As used in this Marketer Agreement, “we,” “us,”, “our” and “GFT” means the applicable GFT Contracting Party and any of its applicable affiliates, and “you” or “your” means the applicant (if signing up and onboarding for or using a GFT Service as an individual), or the business employing the applicant (if signing up and onboarding for or using a Service as a business) and any of its affiliates. Capitalized terms have the meanings given to them in this Marketer Agreement. If there is a conflict among terms in this Marketer Agreement, the Marketer Agreement (including any Program Policies) will prevail over any applicable Service Terms and the Terms of Use, and the applicable Service Terms will prevail over the Terms of Use.
- Enrollment
To begin the enrollment process (“Enrollment”), you must complete the sign up and onboarding process for one or more Services. Use of a Service is limited to parties that can lawfully enter into and form contracts under applicable Law. As part of Enrollment, you must provide us with your (or, depending on your role, your business’) legal name and e-mail address. We may at any time cease providing any or all of the Services at our sole discretion and without notice.
- Referral Fee Payments & Monies
GFT Referral Fee details are described in the applicable Service Terms and/or Program Policies. You are responsible for all of your expenses in connection with this Marketer Agreement. To use a Service to Publish a Campaign, you must have completed Enrollment and provide us valid bank account information for a bank account or bank accounts acceptable by GFT (conditions for acceptance may be modified or discontinued by us at any time without notice) (“Your Bank Account”). You will use only a name you are authorized to use in connection with a Service and will update all of the information you provide to us in connection with the Services as necessary to ensure that it at all times remains accurate, complete, and valid. You authorize us (and will provide us documentation evidencing your authorization upon our request) to verify your information (including any updated information), to obtain credit reports about you from time to time, and to debit your account on the GFT Platform (“Your GFT Account”) for any sums payable by you to us (such as GFT Referral Fees, Your Taxes or otherwise) or to credit Your GFT Account for any sums payable to you. All payments to you will be initiated by you (not us) and remitted to Your Bank Account through a banking network (or by other means specified by us).
If we determine that your actions or performance (including performance of your Campaign (“Your Campaign”)) may result in non-payment to us of GFT Referral Fees, Your Taxes, chargebacks, claims, disputes, violations of our terms or policies, or other risks to GFT or third parties, then we may in our sole discretion withhold any payments to you for as long as we determine any related risks to GFT or third parties persist. For any amounts that we determine you owe us, we may (a) contact you to make a payment from Your Bank Account; (b) offset any amounts that are payable by you to us against any payments or amounts due to you; (c) invoice you for amounts due, in which case you will pay the invoiced amounts upon receipt; (d) reverse any credits not processed to Your Bank Account; (e) collect payment or reimbursement from you by any other lawful means; or (f) remove your Campaigns from being Published until no further payments are due or amounts are owed to us. The foregoing actions may, accordingly, modify Your GFT Account balance. If we determine that your account has been used to engage in deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, or to repeatedly violate this Marketer Agreement and/or any Program Policies, then we may in our sole discretion permanently withhold any payments to you. Except as provided otherwise, all amounts contemplated in this Marketer Agreement will be expressed and displayed in United States Dollars, and all payments contemplated by this Marketer Agreement will be made in the United States Dollars.
In addition, we may require that you pay other amounts to secure the performance of your obligations under this Marketer Agreement or to mitigate the risk of non-reimbursement of other third parties involved in any of Your Campaigns or Your Service(s) that are Published through a GFT Site (“Your Transaction” or “Your Transactions”), non-payment of GFT Referral Fees, Your Taxes, chargebacks, claims, disputes, violations of our terms or policies, or other risks to GFT or third parties. These amounts may be refundable or nonrefundable in the manner we determine, and failure to comply with terms of this Marketer Agreement, including any applicable Program Policies, may result in their forfeiture.
As a security measure, we may, but are not required to, impose transaction limits on some or all Marketers and Consumers relating to the value of any transaction or disbursement, the cumulative value of all transactions or disbursements during a period of time, or the number of transactions per day or other period of time. We will not be liable to you: (i) if we do not proceed with a transaction or disbursement that would exceed any limit established by us for a security reason, or (ii) if applicable, if we permit a Consumer to withdraw from a transaction because a GFT Site or Service is unavailable following the commencement of a transaction.
- Term and Termination
The term of this Marketer Agreement will start on the date of your completed Enrollment for or use of a GFT Service, whichever occurs first, and continue until terminated by us or you as provided in this Marketer Agreement (the “Term”). We may terminate or suspend this Marketer Agreement or any Service for any reason at any time by notice to you. You may terminate this Marketer Agreement or any Service for any reason at any time by the means then specified by GFT. Termination or suspension of a Service will not terminate or suspend any other Service unless explicitly provided. Upon termination, all rights and obligations of the parties under this Marketer Agreement will terminate, except that Sections 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 14, 15, 16, and 39 will survive termination, and the rights and obligations of the Parties with respect to Your Transactions occurring during the Term will survive the termination or expiration of the Term. Any terms that expressly survive according to the applicable Service Terms will also survive termination.
- License
You grant us a royalty-free, non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable right and license to use, reproduce, perform, display, distribute, adapt, modify, re-format, create derivative works of, and otherwise commercially or non-commercially exploit in any manner, any and all of Your Materials, and to sublicense the foregoing rights to our affiliates and operators of GFT; provided, however, that we will not alter any of Your Trademarks from the form provided by you (except to re-size trademarks to the extent necessary for presentation, so long as the relative proportions of such trademarks remain the same) and will comply with your removal requests as to specific uses of Your Trademarks (provided you are unable to do so using standard functionality made available to you via the applicable GFT Site or Service); provided further, however, that nothing in this Marketer Agreement will prevent or impair our right to use Your Materials without your consent to the extent that such use is allowable without a license from you or your affiliates under applicable Law (e.g., fair use under United States copyright law, referential use under trademark law, or valid license from a third party).
- Representations
You represent and warrant to us that: (a) you are a business, you are duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the country in which your business is registered and that you are registering for the Service(s) within such country; (b) you have all requisite right, power, and authority to enter into this Marketer Agreement, perform your obligations, and grant the rights, licenses, and authorizations in this Marketer Agreement; (c) any information provided or made available by you or your affiliates to GFT or its affiliates is at all times accurate and complete; (d) you and your financial institution(s) are not subject to sanctions or otherwise designated on any list of prohibited or restricted parties or owned or controlled by such a party, including but not limited to the lists maintained by the United Nations Security Council, the US Government (e.g., the US Department of Treasury’s Specially Designated Nationals list and Foreign Sanctions Evaders list and the US Department of Commerce’s Entity List), the European Union or its member states, or other applicable government authority; and (e) you and all of your subcontractors, agents, and suppliers will comply with all applicable Laws in your performance of your obligations and exercise of your rights under this Marketer Agreement.
- Indemnification
You release us and agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless us, our affiliates, and our and their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives, and agents against any claim, loss, damage, settlement, cost, expense, or other liability (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) (each, a “Claim”) arising from or related to: (a) your actual or alleged breach of any obligations in this Marketer Agreement; (b) any of your sales channels and other means through which you or any of your affiliates offer Campaigns (“Your Sales Channels”) (other than GFT Sites and GFT), Your Campaigns (including their Publication, performance, redemption and settlement), Your Materials, any actual or alleged infringement of any Intellectual Property Rights by any of the foregoing, and any personal injury, death, or property damage related thereto; (c) your staff, contractors, sub-contractors, or any other individuals under your direction or control in any way whatsoever, collectively, “Your Personnel” (including any act or omission of Your Personnel or any Claim brought or directed by Your Personnel); or (d) Your Taxes. You will use counsel reasonably satisfactory to us to defend each indemnified Claim. If, at any time, we reasonably determine that any indemnified Claim might adversely affect us, we may take control of the defense at our expense. You may not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement of a Claim without our prior written consent, which may not be unreasonably withheld.
- Disclaimer & General Release

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE BY LAW, WE AND OUR AFFILIATES DISCLAIM: (i) ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES REGARDING THIS MARKETER AGREEMENT, THE SERVICES OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS MARKETER AGREEMENT, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT; (ii) IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARISING OUT OF THE COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, OR USAGE OF TRADE; AND (iii) ANY OBLIGATION, LIABILITY, RIGHT, CLAIM, OR REMEDY IN TORT, WHETHER OR NOT ARISING FROM OUR NEGLIGENCE.

- BECAUSE GFT IS NOT INVOLVED IN TRANSACTIONS BETWEEN CONSUMERS AND MARKETERS OR OTHER SIMILAR DEALINGS, IF A DISPUTE ARISES BETWEEN ONE OR MORE PARTICIPANTS IN SUCH DEALINGS, EACH PARTICIPANT RELEASES GFT (AND ITS AGENTS AND EMPLOYEES) FROM CLAIMS, DEMANDS, AND DAMAGES (ACTUAL AND CONSEQUENTIAL) OF EVERY KIND AND NATURE, KNOWN AND UNKNOWN, SUSPECTED AND UNSUSPECTED, DISCLOSED AND UNDISCLOSED, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH SUCH DISPUTES.
- Limitation of Liability
WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, PRODUCT LIABILITY, OR OTHER THEORY), OR OTHERWISE) TO YOU OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR COST OF COVER, RECOVERY, OR RECOUPMENT OF ANY INVESTMENT MADE BY YOU OR YOUR AFFILIATES IN CONNECTION WITH THIS MARKETER AGREEMENT, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFIT, REVENUE, BUSINESS, OR DATA OR PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS MARKETER AGREEMENT, EVEN IF GFT HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF THOSE COSTS OR DAMAGES. FURTHER, OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS MARKETER AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED WILL NOT EXCEED AT ANY TIME THE TOTAL AMOUNTS DURING THE PRIOR SIX-MONTH PERIOD PAID BY YOU TO GFT IN CONNECTION WITH THE PARTICULAR SERVICE GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

As between the parties, you will be responsible for the collection, reporting, and payment of any and all of Your Taxes, except to the extent that GFT automatically calculates, collects, or remits taxes on your behalf according to applicable law. You agree to and will comply with the Tax Policies as follows: Any and all fees (including GFT Referral Fees) payable by you pursuant to this Marketer Agreement are exclusive of all sales, use, and similar taxes, and you will pay any taxes that are imposed and payable on such amounts. All payments made by you to GFT under this Marketer Agreement will be made free and clear of any deduction or withholding (including but not limited to cross-border withholding taxes), as may be required by law. If any such deduction or withholding is required, you will pay such additional amounts as are necessary so that the net amount received by GFT is equal to the amount then due and payable under this Marketer Agreement. You will be responsible for paying GFT any of Your Taxes imposed on such fees (including GFT Referral Fees) and any deduction or withholding required on any payment.
Except as otherwise provided in this Marketer Agreement, you agree that GFT is not obligated to determine whether taxes apply, and GFT is not responsible to collect, report, or remit any taxes arising from any transaction. However, if a taxing authority requires us to pay any of Your Taxes, you will promptly reimburse us for the amounts paid. If the Campaign or service is provided from outside your elected country, the recipient of the Campaign or service may be required to pay an amount related to assessed sales, goods and services, use, excise, import, value added, or other taxes or duties. Such taxes or duties, if any, are in addition to the proceeds collected by GFT, and are solely your responsibility.

You agree that: (a) all Confidential Information will remain GFT’s exclusive property; (b) you will use Confidential Information only as is reasonably necessary for your participation in the Services; (c) you will not otherwise disclose Confidential Information to any other Person; and (d) you will take all reasonable measures to protect the Confidential Information against any use or disclosure that is not expressly permitted in this Marketer Agreement.

- Force Majeure
We will not be liable for any delay or failure to perform any of our obligations under this Marketer Agreement by reasons, events or other matters beyond our reasonable control.
- Relationship of Parties
Subject to the Transaction Processing Service Terms hereunder in Section 35, you and we are independent contractors, and nothing in this Marketer Agreement will create any partnership, joint venture, agency, franchise, sales representative, or employment relationship between us. You will have no authority to make or accept any offers or representations on our behalf. This Marketer Agreement will not create an exclusive relationship between you and us. Nothing expressed or mentioned in or implied from this Marketer Agreement is intended or will be construed to give to any person other than the parties to this Marketer Agreement any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim under or in respect to this Marketer Agreement. This Marketer Agreement and all of the representations, warranties, covenants, conditions, and provisions in this Marketer Agreement are intended to be and are for the sole and exclusive benefit of GFT, you, and other parties operating using the GFT Platform.

You will not make any statement, whether on your site or otherwise, that would contradict anything in this section.
- Use of GFT Transaction Information

- Your Obligations if an International Marketer
When Publishing through GFT Sites as a Marketer located outside your own business location, there are important requirements you must follow to ensure a great experience for Consumers. Understanding and complying with these requirements is essential for success and required for your participation.
Before you Publish Campaigns or services to a country outside your business location, you need to provide a bank account in a country supported by GFT in order to make or receive any applicable payments. In addition, you should understand the laws that apply to you as a Marketer on GFT Sites, and you must only Publish Campaigns and services that comply with those laws. You should consult with your legal and tax advisers who understand the requirements that may apply to you so that you only offer Campaigns and services on a GFT Site that:
- You are permitted to Publish, offer, or promote,
- You are able to deliver such Campaigns to the Consumer in a timely manner, with no unwelcome Consumer surprises, and
- You are able to support the Consumer when they participate a Campaign and thereafter.

Consumers expect prompt, helpful service when they have questions or concerns about your Campaigns or services.

- When you interact with GFT’s help and support functions, you are required to communicate in English.
- Right to Publish or Offer. You must be permitted to Publish, offer, or promote the Campaign or service on GFT Sites. The laws of each country are different (and laws may vary within countries). As the Marketer of your Campaigns or services, it is your responsibility to ensure that you do not present Consumers with offers unless you have confirmed that you are permitted, under all applicable laws for the country where the Consumer is located and/or where the Campaign will be redeemed, to offer such a Campaign or service to all potential Consumers. For example, you should confirm that:
- Publishing or offerings of the Campaign will not violate the intellectual property rights of others
- Listings. You will list Your Campaigns using the primary language and currency of the GFT Site and/or, as available, a primary language or currency of the country in which the Campaign is being promoted.

We will make any payments regarding Your Transactions in the manner we determine, and you will reimburse us for all amounts we pay.
- Problems with Your Campaigns
- Service Delivery and Performance Issues. You are solely responsible for any non-performance, non-fulfillment, or other mistake or act in connection with Your Campaigns, except to the extent caused by our failure to make available to you settlement information regarding Your Transactions as it was received by us. You will notify us promptly as soon as you have knowledge of any non-performance, non-fulfillment, or any other matters that will or could result in Your Campaigns for a Consumer being reasonably determined to be less than fully or adequately performed or completed.

- Parity of Your Campaigns
Subject to this Section 31, you are free to determine which of Your Campaigns you wish to offer on a particular GFT Site. You will maintain parity between the Campaigns that you Publish on any GFT Site by ensuring that: (a) the Campaign Price and every other term of Your Campaign (including associated discounts, guarantees, rebates, rewards or any other free or discounted services or other benefit available as a result a Consumer redemption are at least as favorable to GFT Site users as the most favorable terms upon which a product or service is offered or sold via Your Sales Channels; (b) Consumer service for Your Campaigns is at least as responsive and available and offers at least the same level of support as the most favorable Consumer services offered in connection with any of Your Sales Channels; and (c) the Content (copyrightable works under applicable Law and content protected by database rights under applicable Law and service information), and other information under this Marketer Agreement Section 19.a. regarding Your Campaigns that you provide to us is of at least the same level of quality as the highest quality information displayed or used in Your Sales Channels. If you become aware of any non-compliance with (a) above, you will promptly compensate adversely affected parties by making appropriate refunds to them in accordance with this Marketer Agreement Section 20.b.
- Compensation
You will pay us: (a) the applicable GFT Referral Fees; and (b) any other applicable fees described in this Agreement (including any applicable Program Policies). With respect to each of Your Transactions: (i) “Proceeds” has the meaning set out in this Marketer Agreement; and (ii) “GFT Referral Fees” means the applicable fee based on the Proceeds from Your Transaction through the applicable GFT Site specified on the Fee Schedule for that GFT Site at the time of Your Transaction, based on the categorization by GFT of the type of Campaign or service that is the subject of Your Transaction.
- Settlement of Transactions
We will update a party’s available balance based on the transactions taking place the previous day (or at our option, on a more frequent basis) for the party’s account. Each redemption from a Campaign is a redemption transaction (“Redemption Transaction”), which requires that Consumer purchase the product or service required by the Campaign, present a valid reward from that Campaign to the online payment system or point-of-sale terminal, and have both the purchase and the reward for the Campaign successfully processed by the online payment system or point-of-sale terminal. Each Redemption Transaction results in a “Settlement Calculation”, whereby the amounts due to various parties involved in that Campaign are identified and the amounts due to and from each are calculated, and further transactions with each of those various parties resulting from that Settlement Calculation, each a “Settlement Transaction”, to allocate the applicable amounts due from the Marketer(s) to each relevant party. This process may vary for each country and/or type of Campaign.
For each such case, a party’s available balance is equal to their account balance for the day preceding the previous day, and (i) the sum of the previous days transactions including: (a) any funds remitted by a Marketer and available to the Marketer after being cleared by us; and; (b) any Proceeds from Campaigns; and (ii) after subtracting the previous days transactions including: (a) any refunds made; (b) any withdrawals (e.g., cash outs) from a party’s account; (c) any funds due to other parties resulting from the cumulative redemptions of Campaigns; (d) any GFT Referral Fees due to GFT from the cumulative redemptions of Campaigns; and; (e) any amounts we require a party to maintain in their account balance pursuant to this Marketer Agreement (including, but not limited to, payments withheld pursuant to Section 2 and Section 19.c., and applicable Program Policies); and (f) any taxes that GFT calculates, collects and must remit to a tax authority according to applicable law.
We may establish a reserve on a party’s account based on our assessment of risks to GFT or third parties posed by that party’s actions or performance, and we may modify the amount of the reserve from time to time at our sole discretion.
Net Proceeds will be credited to a party’s available balance when they are received by us or our affiliates, and are payable from our account to that party no later than 7 business days when Proceeds from Campaigns are (a) fulfilled and undisputed; (b) fulfilled and a dispute(s) was resolved with no further disputes in the following seven days after resolution of the last dispute; (c) fulfilled, but a dispute(s) results in a refund(s) or chargeback(s) due, in which case the net amount after such refund(s) or chargeback(s) is payable; or (d) not fulfilled, but you are due payment in accordance with the Fee Schedule or Program Policies.
- Control of GFT Sites
We have the right in our sole discretion to determine the content, appearance, design, functionality, and all other aspects of the GFT Sites, including by redesigning, modifying, removing, or restricting access to any of them, and by suspending, prohibiting, or removing any listing.
- Transaction Processing Service Terms
BY REGISTERING FOR OR USING ANY GFT SERVICE (ON BEHALF OF YOURSELF OR THE BUSINESS YOU REPRESENT) YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TRANSACTION PROCESSING SERVICE TERMS. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, IF A SEPARATE AGREEMENT GOVERNS THE PUBLISHING, OFFER, REDEMPTION, SETTLEMENT OR FULFILLMENT OF YOUR CAMPAIGNS OR SERVICES ON A GFT SITE, THE TERMS OF THAT AGREEMENT WILL CONTINUE TO GOVERN THE PROCESSING OF YOUR TRANSACTIONS TO THE EXTENT DESCRIBED IN THAT AGREEMENT.
- Payments Processing Agency Appointment. For all Campaigns (whether or not invoiced), you authorize us to act as your agent for purposes of processing settlements, payments, refunds and adjustments for Your Transactions, receiving and holding Proceeds on your behalf, remitting Proceeds to your GFT Account, and paying GFT and its affiliates or third parties with amounts you owe in accordance with this Marketer Agreement or other agreements you may have with GFT or its affiliates. For each Campaign to which you are, in any way whatsoever, a party, you authorize: (a) us to act as your agent for purposes of processing Your Transactions, Settlement Transactions, payments, refunds and adjustments, and receiving and holding Proceeds on your behalf; and (b) us to act as your agent for purposes of remitting any Proceeds to Your Bank Account, and paying GFT and its affiliates amounts you owe in accordance with this Marketer Agreement or other agreements you may have with GFT affiliates. We are a “GFT Payments Agent”. The GFT Payments Agent provides the services described in this Section 35 and the related services described in the Marketer Agreement Sections 19.c., 20.b., and 21 (collectively, the “Transaction Processing Services”).
When a Redemption Transaction occurs, resulting in a Settlement Calculation and Settlement Transaction, you agree that we are authorized and ordered to commit Settlement Transactions (less any applicable fees or other amounts we may collect) from and/or to you. You agree that Consumers satisfy their obligations to you when they conduct a Redemption Transaction. We will remit funds from Settlement Transactions in accordance with this Marketer Agreement.
- Remittance. Subject to Section 20 of the Marketer Agreement, the GFT Payments Agent will remit funds in accordance with the Marketer Agreement Section 24 and this Section 35. The GFT Payments Agent’s obligation to remit funds collected or received by it or otherwise credited to your available balance in connection with Your Transactions or Settlement Transactions is limited to funds in your available balance that have become available in accordance with this Marketer Agreement less amounts owed to GFT and any taxes that GFT automatically calculates, collects and remits to a tax authority according to applicable law, subject to chargeback or reversal or withheld for anticipated claims or disputes in accordance with this Marketer Agreement. Without limiting GFT’s rights to collect any amounts you owe, including but not limited to applicable taxes, the GFT Payments Agent’s receipt of Proceeds or crediting of Proceeds to your available balance discharges your obligation to pay applicable fees and other amounts under this Marketer Agreement to the extent the Proceeds received or credited equal or exceed the fees and other amounts you owe and the Proceeds are applied to the payment of those fees and amounts.
- Your Funds. Proceeds will be held in an account with the applicable GFT Payments Agent (a “Campaigns Account”) and will represent an unsecured claim against that GFT Payments Agent. Proceeds are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any similar entity, nor do you have any right or entitlement to collect Proceeds directly from any other party. Prior to disbursing funds to you in accordance with this Marketer Agreement, the GFT Payments Agent may combine Proceeds held with the funds of other users of the Services, invest them, or use them for other purposes permitted by applicable Laws. You will not receive interest or any other earnings on any Proceeds. To the extent required by applicable Laws, the GFT Payments Agent will not voluntarily make such funds available to its creditors in the event of bankruptcy, and will not knowingly permit its creditors to attach such funds.
- Verification. We may at any time require you to provide any financial, business or personal information we request to verify your identity. You authorize us to obtain from time to time consumer credit, identity verification or other similar reports to establish or update your Campaigns Account or in the event of a dispute relating to this Marketer Agreement or the activity under your Campaigns Account. You agree to update all Campaigns Account information promptly upon any change. The GFT Privacy Policy applies to transactions processed by us.
- Dormant Accounts. If there is no activity (as determined by us) in connection with your Campaigns Account for the period of time set forth in any applicable unclaimed property laws and we hold Proceeds on your behalf, we will notify you by means designated by us and provide you the option of keeping your Campaigns Account open and maintaining the Proceeds in your Campaigns Account. If you do not respond to our notice(s) within the time period we specify, we will send the Proceeds in your Campaigns Account to your state of residency or address, as determined by us based on the information in your Campaigns Account. If we are unable to determine your state of residency in the United States or your Campaigns Account is associated with a foreign country, your funds may be sent to the State of Nevada.

You consent that any dispute with GFT or its affiliates or claim relating in any way to this Marketer Agreement or your use of the GFT Services will be resolved by binding arbitration as described in this paragraph, rather than in court, except that (i) you may assert claims in a small claims court in the USA that is a Governing Court if your claims qualify and (ii) you may bring suit in the Governing Courts in the USA, submitting to the jurisdiction of such Governing Courts and waiving your respective rights to any other jurisdiction, to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow the terms of this Marketer Agreement as a court would. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to our registered agent, Mr. Bryan Williams, located at 410 S. Rampart Blvd, Suite 350, Las Vegas, Nevada 89145, USA; Attn: Greenfence Consumer, LLC DBA GFT Rewards. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules. You may choose, subject to AAA’s rules, to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or if you choose to have the arbitration conducted in person, you unconditionally consent to it being conducted in Clark County, Nevada, USA or Los Angeles County, California, USA. GFT and you each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, you agree to waive any right to a jury trial.
You may not assign this Marketer Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. Subject to that restriction, this Marketer Agreement will be binding on, inure to, and be enforceable against the parties and their respective successors and assigns. We may perform any of our obligations or exercise any of our rights under this Marketer Agreement through one or more of our affiliates. Our failure to enforce your strict performance of any provision of this Marketer Agreement will not constitute a waiver of our right to enforce such provision or any other provision of this Marketer Agreement subsequently.
We have the right in our sole discretion to determine the content, appearance, design, functionality, and all other aspects of the Services, including by redesigning, modifying, removing, or restricting access to any of them.
Because GFT is not your agent (except for the limited purpose set out in the Transaction Processing Service Terms), or the Consumer’s agent for any purpose, GFT will not act as either party’s agent in connection with resolving any disputes between participants related to or arising out of any transaction.
We will send all notices and other communications regarding this Marketer Agreement to you at the e-mail addresses you designated for notifications and updates within the GFT Site, or by any other means then specified by GFT. We may also communicate with you electronically and in other media, and you consent to such communications regardless of any “E-mail Preferences” (or similar preferences or requests) you may have indicated on the applicable GFT Site, or by any other means. You may change your e-mail addresses and certain other information in the GFT Site. You will ensure that all of your information is up to date and accurate at all times. You must send all notices and other communications relating to GFT to our support team as detailed in this Marketer Agreement.
This Marketer Agreement incorporates and you accept any applicable Service Terms and Program Policies, which GFT may modify from time to time. If any provision of this Marketer Agreement is deemed unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision will be deemed severable from these terms and conditions and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. If the country of service is Canada, then it is the express wish of the parties that this Marketer Agreement and the applicable Service Terms and Program Policies have been drafted in English. (The following is a French translation of the preceding sentence: Si le pays de service est le Canada, les parties conviennent que la présente autorisation et tous les termes et conditions applicables s’y rattachant soient rédigés en anglais.) If the country of service is any country, we may make available translations to this Marketer Agreement and the applicable Service Terms and Program Policies, but the English version will control.
This Marketer Agreement represents the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the offering of Campaigns and services and related subject matter and supersedes any previous or contemporaneous oral or written agreements and understandings.
