4.7. Termination of Qualifying Links. Vwala! or the relevant Merchant and/or Advertiser may terminate any Qualifying Links associated with any Vwala!-tracked engagements with which you have entered into with such Merchant and/or Advertiser.

Therefore, you agree that we and/or Vwala! Related Parties may take such actions and that you will not seek to block or otherwise interfere with such crawling or monitoring (and that we and/or Vwala! Related Parties may use technical means to overcome any methods used on your Site to block or interfere with such crawling or monitoring).

To revise your Program Page, the terms and conditions set forth on your Program Page, or any Product offered for sale or Advertisement on the Program Page, you must make such revision on your Program Page and then immediately notify Vwala! of such revision. Notwithstanding the preceding, nothing contained on your Program Page may conflict with the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, and any such conflicting terms and conditions shall be void.

6.2. Payment Terms. The fact that a compensation amount is reported for any tracked activity does not necessarily mean that a payment is due to you from Vwala!, since payment may be subject to conditions established by a particular Merchant and/or Advertiser, or Vwala!, including policies regarding order cancellation, returned merchandise, receipt of pending credit card authorizations and/or chargebacks and minimums for earned compensation before payment is made.

You may elect not to pay any such fees by discontinuing your participation in all Vwala! Services prior to the commencement charge or assessment of such fees. Any and all fees or other charges may be offset against or debited from any amounts that might be held in account for you by Vwala! or Vwala!

Vwala! Privacy Policy


Welcome to Vwala!, the 3rd party and user-generated content management and monetization software (the "Service") owned and operated by Pure Verticals, Inc. ("PV"). Your privacy is important to us and we have prepared this Privacy Policy to explain to you how we collect, use, and share your personal information. Because the Service is global, information about you that we collect or that you submit may be transferred to, processed in, and held in countries (including the United States) other than the one in which you reside. By using the Service, you explicitly consent to the collection and use of your personal information as outlined in this Privacy Policy. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully, and if you have any questions, feel free to contact us.

Information We Automatically Collect
We automatically collect certain information to help us understand how our users use the Service (which we will refer to in this Privacy Policy collectively as "Usage Data"). For example, each time you use the Service we automatically collect your IP address and other information about your Internet connectivity. In addition, we use a technology called "cookies." A cookie is a piece of data that identifies you as a unique user. We use cookies to improve the quality of our Service and make the Service easier to use. We do this by storing information about a particular login session in cookies in order to provide you with a seamless experience during a particular login session. When you logout of the Service, your session cookie information is removed. From time to time we may share Usage Data with third parties. We do so, however, only in the aggregate and not in a manner that will enable the recipient to personally identify you (unless you have given us permission to do so). In addition, we may combine Usage Data with Personal Information (as defined below) in a manner that enables us to trace Usage Data to an individual user. We do so, however, only for our own internal purposes and will not share such combined data with third parties unless you have given us permission to do so.

We use your Personal Information to notify you of new product releases, to send service notifications, to customize the advertising and content you see, to fulfill your requests for products and services, to improve our services, to conduct research, and to solicit your feedback and input about the Service. In addition, if you have opted into receiving newsletters or other communications from us, we use your Personal Information for that purpose. When you send messages through the Service, your user name will be identified in the message. Subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy, except for aggregate demographic information that we may share with third parties in a manner that does not link such information to any individual, we will not share your Personal Information with third parties unless you have given us permission to do so.

Your Profile, Media, and Friends
We reserve the right to make all of the following information about you available to all other users of the Service: (a) any information you choose to include in your Service profile (including, without limitation, your first name, last name, age, gender, occupation, self-description, instant messaging id, favorites, and where you live); (b) any videos or other personal media content you submit to us, including any 3rd party content you use; (c) your Vwala! user name and site contacts; and (d) the date you registered to become a member of, and last logged into, the Service.

Invitations and Messages
If you invite another person to join the Service, we will ask for that person’s name and email address. We use this information to contact and, if necessary, remind that person that he or she has been invited to join the Service. In addition, when you invite other members into your personal network or send messages through the Service, we collect and maintain the information associated with those messages (including email addresses and content) on secure servers.

Other Authorized Disclosures
Notwithstanding anything in this Privacy Policy to the contrary, you understand and agree that Vwala! may access, preserve, and disclose any information we have collected from or about you or that you have submitted: (1) in response to subpoenas, court orders, or legal process, or to establish, protect, or exercise our legal rights or defend against legal claims; (2) to protect the rights and property of Vwala!, its affiliates, or the public; (3) if we believe it is necessary in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, fraud, or situations involving potential threats to the safety of any person; (4) to our parent company, subsidiaries, joint ventures, or other companies under common control with Vwala!

In addition, Vwala! may forward any counter notification that you submit pursuant to Vwala! Terms of Service, and any related communications, to third parties.

Public Areas
Your use of areas of the Service that are intended for interaction with other users may reveal your user name and may allow you to publish certain personal information about you. By choosing to use these areas, you understand and agree that anyone with access to those areas may access and forward any information about you that is contained in or that you post to those areas. As with any social networking service, you should use care when disclosing your personal information to strangers.

At any time, you can terminate your account which will remove your profile and other personal information from Web site or software view.

Links to Other Sites
The Service may contain links to other Web sites. These other sites maintain their own policies regarding the collection and use of personal information.

Security
