TERMS: Effective as of your first payment, and, unless terminated in accordance with this Agreement, your Affiliation with VirtualHoneymoon shall continue for a period of twelve (12) months (the “Term”). The Agreement will renew automatically on an annual basis thereafter unless either party provides thirty (30) days’ written notice before the end of that Term of its intent not to renew. If you are paying monthly, this is a convenience to you; all Terms are based upon a period of twelve (12) months and are non-refundable. OTHER AFFILIATES: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, VirtualHoneymoon reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to allow other entities to become Affiliates, for different fees, a combination of cash/non-cash consideration, or for no consideration at all, as it deems are in the best interests of VirtualHoneymoon.
GRANT OF ADVERTISING AND PROMOTIONAL RIGHTS.
During the Term, VirtualHoneymoon hereby grants to Affiliate a non-exclusive, royalty free, non- transferable license to use VirtualHoneymoon’s name, logo, symbols and service/ trademarks (the “Brand") on its marketing and promotional materials. All Brand materials (e.g., text, graphics, photos, designs, trademarks, service marks, tradenames, or other content) provided, leased, or licensed to the Affiliate are the sole property of VirtualHoneymoon, and the Affiliate has no ownership or other intellectual property rights in or to such items. Affiliate understands and agrees that its access to the Link grants it access to VirtualHoneymoon's proprietary and valuable intellectual property and trade secrets. It shall not utilize its knowledge, familiarity and/or use of this information to directly or indirectly develop a competing product to VirtualHoneymoon.
CONFIDENTIALITY; NONDISCLOSURE.
VirtualHoneymoon.com's website and all materials contained therein and coding related thereto, and in particular the Affiliate Fee shall remain confidential at all times, during and after the Term. VirtualHoneymoon and Affiliate hereby agree to hold in confidence and not disclose any terms and conditions of this Agreement not made a public record, unless the party desiring to disclose the information receives prior written consent of the non-disclosing party; Affiliate understands and agrees that use of any of VirtualHoneymoon's methods, coding, or proprietary know-how is infringement and as such, VirtualHoneymoon shall be granted injunctive relief if VirtualHoneymoon believes that Affiliate may be breaching its rights therein.
COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS.
Affiliate shall at all times comply with all federal, state and local laws, ordinances, regulations and orders that are applicable to the operation of its business, this Agreement and its performance hereunder. Without limiting the generality   of the foregoing, Affiliate shall at all times, at its own expense, obtain and maintain all certifications, credentials, authorizations, licenses and permits necessary to conduct its business relating to the exercise of its rights and the performance of its obligations under this Agreement. Copyright/Use Of Materials All content which is defined as any information, data, text, messages, articles, software, methods or processes, photos, videos, graphics, music, sounds and any other material or services that are found on this site excluding Member Content.

TERMINATION.
This Agreement may be terminated: (a) by Affiliate, for convenience, on provision of thirty (30) days’ written notice before the end of the then-current Term to VirtualHoneymoon; (b) by either party for a material breach of any provision of this Agreement by the other party, if the other party’s material breach is not cured within thirty (30) days of receipt of written notice thereof; or (c) by VirtualHoneymoon at any time and without prior notice and without affecting the Affiliate Fees due hereunder for the Term, if Affiliate is convicted of any crime or offense, fails or refuses to comply with VirtualHoneymoon’ written policies or reasonable directives, or is guilty of misconduct in connection with performance under this Agreement or with its clients. Affiliate may, of course, discontinue use of the Link at any time during a then-current annual subscription period, but such discontinuation does not relieve Affiliate of the obligation to pay any outstanding Affiliate Fees owed, and no credits or refunds will be issued for prepaid fees.
INDEMNITY; RISK ALLOCATION.
Affiliate shall indemnify and hold harmless VirtualHoneymoon, its agents, officers, directors and employees, against all third party claims, losses, costs, damages and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) relating to Affiliate’s use of the Link or Affiliate’s website.

INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS.
Both parties shall remain at all times independent contractors and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to create a joint venture, partnership, or agency relationship between the parties. Neither party has the right or authority to bind, commit, or otherwise obligate the other, in any manner whatsoever, except as contemplated herein. In the event a party uses the terms “partner”, “marketing partner”, “partnership”, or similar designation to describe to prospects the relationship between the parties under this Agreement, such party shall make explicitly clear to such prospect or other third party that this Agreement neither expressly nor impliedly creates a legal partnership, joint venture or similar association. The use of the term “partner” by either party likewise does not create, nor is it intended to create, any such legal partnership, joint venture or similar association.
ARBITRATION.
Any controversies between the parties shall be discussed between them with the aim of resolving such controversies, each using reasonable judgment. Except with respect to collections issues, which shall be submitted to a court in Sonoma County, California, if the conflict cannot be resolved after such discussion, both parties agree to submit the controversy to arbitration, and the decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding, and the arbitrator’s order may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction and enforceable thereby. The prevailing party shall have all fees and costs paid for by the other party, in addition to any other relief it may be awarded. Both parties expressly agree to the application of California law, without regard to its conflict of laws rules, and exclusive venue and personal jurisdiction in Sonoma County, CA.

In the event of any such delay, any period of time for action by said party may be deferred for a period sufficient to resume normal business activities.
ENTIRE AGREEMENT; AMENDMENT.

No change or modification of this Agreement shall be valid unless the same is in writing, signed by the parties or their respective successors or assigns in ink/DocuSign or similar contract signing software.
SEVERABILITY.
If any term or provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement or the application of such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable shall not be affected thereby, and each term and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Each Party agrees that it is solely responsible for complying with such laws, taxes, and tariffs. OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW. Affiliate hereby declares that it has had sufficient opportunity to review this Agreement, understand the content of all of its clauses, negotiate its terms and seek independent professional legal advice in that respect before entering into it.
