MISCELLANEOUS

Severability

If any part of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. The invalid or unenforceable part will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable while preserving its intent.

No Waiver

If HC Jones, Inc. or you do not enforce a right under these Terms, that does not mean the right is waived. A waiver is only effective if it is in writing and signed (or clearly issued) by the party granting it. A waiver for one situation is not a waiver for any other or future situation.

Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with any policies, guidelines, addenda, insertion orders, and program rules referenced in or made available through the affiliate interface (collectively, the “Program Documents”), are the complete agreement between you and QwJ about your participation in the Program and replace all prior or contemporaneous agreements or discussions on the same subject. If there is a conflict, the order of control is: (1) any mutually signed addendum or insertion order, (2) these Terms, then (3) the other Program Documents. You acknowledge you are not relying on any promises or statements outside the Program Documents.

Force Majeure

Neither you nor HC Jones, Inc. will be liable for delays or failures to perform caused by events beyond that party’s reasonable control, including: acts of God; natural disasters; war, terrorism, or civil unrest; labor disputes; governmental orders or changes in law; public health emergencies; widespread internet, cloud, CDN, tracking‑vendor, payment‑processor, or power failures; denial‑of‑service attacks; or material platform/ad‑network outages (each, a “Force Majeure Event”). Performance will be excused for the duration of the Force Majeure Event and the time to perform will be extended accordingly. This does not excuse payment of amounts already due and payable before the Force Majeure Event. If a Force Majeure Event continues for more than 30 days, either party may terminate participation on notice. HC Jones, Inc. will use commercially reasonable efforts to restore services and, where tracking is affected by a third‑party outage, to reconcile commissions from available, reliable data; if transactions cannot be reasonably verified, HC Jones, Inc. is not obligated to pay unverified commissions.

Notices

HC Jones, Inc. may give notices to you by email to the address in your affiliate profile and/or by posting a notice in the affiliate interface.
