Any Party so delayed in its performance will immediately notify the other by telephone or by the most timely means otherwise available (to be confirmed in writing within two (2) business days of the inception of such delay) and describe in reasonable detail the circumstances causing such delay. In such event, the performance times shall be extended for a period of time equivalent to the time lost because of the excusable delay; provided, however, if the delay or failure continues for more than sixty (60) consecutive days, the Party not relying on the excusable delay may terminate this Agreement upon notice to the other Party. In order to avail itself of the relief provided in this Section, a Party must act with due diligence to remedy the cause of, or to mitigate or overcome, such delay or failure.
No Waiver. The failure of either party to act upon any right, remedy, or breach of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of that or any other right, remedy, or breach. No waiver will be effective unless made in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party.
Notices. All notices to a party under this Agreement (other than routine operational communications) will be delivered via the ShareASale platform or electronic correspondence.
Amendments. Táche reserves the right to modify the terms and conditions of this Agreement in its sole discretion at any time, and such changes will be effective immediately upon notice to Affiliate Partner or being posted on the Táche ShareASale portal. If any modification is unacceptable to Affiliate Partner, Affiliate Partner’s sole recourse is to terminate this Agreement. Affiliate Partner’s continued participation after modification to the terms and conditions of this Agreement constitutes Affiliate Partner’s binding acceptance to the change.
Assignment. Affiliate Partner will not assign, delegate, or otherwise transfer any of its rights or duties under this Agreement without the prior, written consent of Táche, which consent may be given or withheld in Táche’ sole and absolute discretion. Any assignment, delegation, or other transfer not in accordance with this Section will be null and void. This Agreement is binding upon and will inure to the benefit of each party and their respective permitted successors or assigns.
Unenforceable Provisions. If any provision of this Agreement is held unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions will remain in full force and effect. If legally permitted, the unenforceable provision will be replaced with an enforceable provision that as nearly as possible gives effect to the parties’ intent.
Counterparts. This Agreement is executed upon acceptance of the Affiliate Partner in the Táche Affiliate Program.
