and continue for the subscription period specified when you make your purchase (such period, the “Initial Subscription Period”). Some subscriptions may
automatically renew for additional periods if specified in the Subscription Product description (the Initial Subscription Period and each such renewal
period, each a “Subscription Period”) unless you cancel the Subscription Product or the Seller or we terminate it. If you activate a Subscription Product,
then you authorize LaunchZ or its third-party payment processors to save, store, or otherwise maintain the payment method you have provided for the
Subscription Product and periodically charge such payment method, on a going-forward basis and until cancellation of the Subscription Product, for all
accrued sums on or before the payment due date. Your account will be charged automatically on the Subscription Billing Date and thereafter on the
renewal date of your Subscription Product for all applicable fees and taxes for the next Subscription Period. You must cancel your Subscription Product
before it renews unless otherwise specified in the Subscription Product’s description in order to avoid billing of the next periodic Subscription Fee to your

Subscription Fee is due, then LaunchZ reserves the right to delete your account and any information or User Content (defined below) associated with
your account without any liability to you.

12. Affiliate Program
Overview. The LaunchZ Affiliate Program (“Affiliate Program”) allows affiliates (“Affiliates”) to earn rewards by either:
(a) referring prospective customers to purchase products or services hosted on the LaunchZ platform (“Buyer Program Affiliates”), or
(b) referring prospective merchants to join LaunchZ as a Seller (“Seller Program Affiliates”).
Participation in the Affiliate Program is only open to individuals aged 18 years or older who are legal residents of and residing in the United States. Prospective Affiliates must complete an application and be approved by LaunchZ to become an Affiliate. Upon approval, each Affiliate will receive a unique tracking link to use on their website or promotion channels (“Affiliate Link”).
Affiliate Marketing Activities. Affiliates agree to use reasonable, good-faith efforts to promote LaunchZ and the applicable Sellers’ products and services on the LaunchZ Platform in the United States in accordance with these Terms, including any documentation, guidelines, policies, and specifications provided by LaunchZ.
Affiliate Compensation. Affiliate compensation depends on the type of affiliate marketing conducted:
• Seller Program Affiliates: Affiliates can earn rewards for referring merchants to the LaunchZ Platform. For users who join LaunchZ as a Seller via the Affiliate’s Affiliate Link (“Referred Sellers”), as applicable, LaunchZ will pay the Affiliate a percentage of LaunchZ’s net revenue from that Referred Seller.
• Buyer Program Affiliates: Affiliates can earn rewards for referring prospective buyers to Referred Sellers on the LaunchZ platform. Either LaunchZ or Sellers will determine and disclose the fee or percentage a Buyer Program Affiliate will receive when a sale is made via an Affiliate’s Affiliate Link (“Affiliate Offer”). LaunchZ shall pay the Affiliate based on the Affiliate Offer’s terms.
Affiliates are solely responsible for promoting only their Affiliate Link. LaunchZ shall not be responsible for any failure to utilize an Affiliate Link.
The Affiliate is solely responsible for promoting the use of its Affiliate Link, and LaunchZ shall not be responsible for any users' failure to utilize an Affiliate Link in the registration or purchasing process, and such failure of use will result in a lack of attribution of sale to the Affiliate.
Independent Contractors. The relationship between LaunchZ and each Affiliate is that of independent contractors, unless otherwise stated or mutually agreed upon in writing. Nothing in the Terms, including the Affiliate Program terms, shall be interpreted as creating a joint venture, partnership, or employment relationship between LaunchZ and the Affiliate.
Seller Program Affiliates
Affiliates can earn rewards for referring new merchants to the LaunchZ Platform. For users who join LaunchZ as a Seller for the first time via the Affiliate’s Affiliate Link (“Referred Sellers”), as reasonably determined by LaunchZ, LaunchZ will pay the Affiliate a specified amount per referral based on LaunchZ’s net revenue from the Referred Seller. Affiliate commissions cease after the agreement is fulfilled.
Buyer Program Affiliates
Affiliates can earn rewards for referring users who make purchases from Sellers on the LaunchZ platform. Either LaunchZ or Sellers can determine and disclose the fee or percentage a Buyer Program Affiliate will receive when a purchase of the Seller’s products or services is made via an Affiliate’s Affiliate Link (“Affiliate Offer”). For each purchase of Seller’s products or services made via the Affiliate’s Affiliate Link, as reasonably determined by LaunchZ, LaunchZ shall pay the Affiliate for such qualifying sale according to the Affiliate Offer. Affiliate Offers are subject to change and may be terminated at any time. Such changes and terminations are effective immediately. The Affiliate Offer at the time of the qualifying sale applies. Please check Affiliate Offers periodically for any changes or termination.
The Affiliate is solely responsible for promoting the use of its Affiliate Link, and LaunchZ shall not be responsible for any users’ failure to utilize an Affiliate Link in the registration or purchasing process, and such failure of use will result in a lack of attribution of sale to the Affiliate. Each party will be responsible, as required under applicable law, for identifying and paying all taxes and other governmental fees and charges (and any penalties, interest, and other additions thereto) that are imposed on that party upon or with respect to the transactions and payments received by it under these Affiliate Program terms. Each party will bear all costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with its business and the performance of its obligations under these Affiliate Program terms, and in no event will LaunchZ be obligated to reimburse the Affiliate for any costs incurred by providing services hereunder.
Independent Contractors.
The relationship between LaunchZ and the Affiliate established by these Affiliate Program terms is that of independent contractors unless otherwise stated or agreed upon.
