SquidOffers TOS

These are the terms of service governing SquidOffers™, a program created by Squidoo LLC to approved individuals, organizations and businesses. These Terms govern a Marketer's (that’s you) participation in Squidoo’s SquidOffers™ program ("Program").

These Terms are collectively referred to as the "Agreement." Squidoo and Marketer hereby agree and acknowledge:

1. FLEXIBILITY. Our policies may be modified at any time. All the elements of SquidOffers are provided "as is" and at Marketer's option and risk. Total liability to any Marketer for any reason shall be limited to the amount paid by Marketer for the Offers running. Squidoo reserves the right to reject any Offer at any time.

2. CREATIVE. (a) Marketer is solely responsible for all Offer content, Offer information, and Offer URLs ("Creative"), whether generated by or for Marketer; and (b) web sites, services and landing pages which Creative links or directs viewers to, and c) advertised services and products (collectively "Services"). Marketer shall protect his or her Squidoo user passwords, privacy and content and takes full responsibility for his or her own, and third party, use of any Squidoo advertiser user accounts.

Marketer agrees that offers may be placed on the SquidOffers lists throughout Squidoo.com and on other sites that may choose to syndicate the list. Marketer authorizes and consents to all such placements.

Once an Marketer submits an Offer, Squidoo will either (a) accept it, (b) reject it and give Marketer a total refund or (c) reject the offer at any time, if Squidoo deems the Offer to have violated sections 3 and 4 of our terms of service. In the last case, an Offer that violates section 3 or 4, no refund will be given to Marketer.

Marketer grants Squidoo permission to utilize an automated software program to retrieve and analyze websites associated with the Marketer for Offer quality and serving purposes. Squidoo may modify any of its Programs at any time without liability. Customer's use of the Program constitutes Customer's acceptance of the Terms.

3. TRANSPARENT. All SquidOffers must be transparent. Any Offer that attempts to deceive the Squidoo user will be considered a violation of these Terms of Service, will not run and will not be refunded. Examples of this include, but are not limited to: inaccurate description of website content, websites that install software without permission, websites that feature warez or stolen software, websites that do not have a clearly stated privacy policy or that violate that policy, or Offers that run without website owner’s permission. Offers may not point to sites that feature prurient, violent or other not-safe-for-work material.

4. RELEVANT. Each SquidOffer must be relevant to the category it's purchased for. Spamming Squidoo categories with irrelevant Offers will be considered a violation of these Terms of Service. SquidOffers containing Adult content may only be run in the Adult category on Squidoo until further notice, and submission of Adult or not-safe-for-work Offers to other categories will be considered a violation of this Agreement.

5. CANCELLATION. Marketers may cancel Offers at any time. Cancelled Offers receive no refund. Cancelled Offers might be published despite cancellation if cancellation of those Offers occurs after any applicable commitment date, however, we’ll try not to and no additional funds are due from the Marketer. Squidoo may cancel immediately or ban any Offers account, any Offer URL, any of Squidoo's Programs, or these Terms at any time with notice, in which case Customer will be responsible for any Offers already run. Applicable sections will survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement.

6. MORE RULES! Marketer shall not, and shall not authorize any party to: (a) generate automated, fraudulent or otherwise invalid offers, inquiries, conversions, clicks or other actions; (b) use any automated means or form of scraping or data extraction to access, query or otherwise collect Squidoo Offers related information from any Program website or property except as expressly permitted by Squidoo; or (c) advertise anything illegal or engage in any illegal or fraudulent business practice. Marketer represents and warrants that it holds and hereby grants Squidoo all rights (including without limitation any copyright, trademark, patent, publicity or other rights) in Creative, Services and Targets needed for Squidoo to operate the program. Violation of the foregoing may result in immediate termination of this Agreement or customer's account without notice and may subject Customer to legal penalties and consequences.

7. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. If the Offer generates too much traffic, too little traffic or the wrong kind of traffic, Marketer agrees to hold Squidoo harmless. If Squidoo fails to run the Offer as promised, Marketer is entitled to a refund for the Offer in question, but not for any other Offers. If the voting for an Offer is considered detrimental to an Marketer, Squidoo will be held harmless. Marketer agrees not to attempt to falsely manipulate the voting on the Offers in any way.

8. INDEMNIFICATION. Marketer shall indemnify and defend Squidoo, agents, affiliates, and licensors from any third party claim or liability (collectively, "Liabilities"), arising out of Use, Marketer’s Program use, Targets, Creative and Services and breach of the Agreement. Partners shall be deemed third party beneficiaries of the above Partner indemnity.

9. MISCELLANY YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS. This agreement is covered by New York State Law. Both parties agree that in the case of a dispute over the meaning of anything in this agreement, each side will submit to binding informal arbitration, to be conducted by a mutually-agreed upon attorney in New York City, with the loser to pay the cost of the attorney arbiter.

10. GUFFAW. You agree to guffaw (or snicker or laugh or chortle) at least once a day.
