13.2        If at any time we determine in our sole discretion that you are not willing or able to adequately defend and/or indemnify us in accordance with this Section, we reserve the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you hereunder.

13.3        You agree that we may, at our own discretion, and where possible, deduct our reasonable costs and expenses directly from your account from monies payable to you by us.  We may also negotiate with you in good faith to deduct the amount due from your future earnings should you not have sufficient monies payable to you at the time we seek restitution.

  1. Warranty Disclaimer By PayKickstart. PAYKICKSTART MAKES NO WARRANTY TO YOU.  PAYKICKSTART PROVIDES THE AFFILIATE PLATFORM AND/OR SERVICES “AS-IS” AND WITH ALL FAULTS.  NEITHER PAYKICKSTART NOR ANY OF ITS SUPPLIERS MAKE ANY WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED TO YOU.  PAYKICKSTART AND ITS SUPPLIERS SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, SYSTEM INTEGRATION, AND DATA ACCURACY.  THERE IS NO WARRANTY OR GUARANTEE THAT THE OPERATION OF THIS SITE, THE AFFILIATE PLATFORM AND/OR SERVICES PROVIDED BY THIS SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR VIRUS-FREE, OR THAT THIS SITE, THE AFFILIATE PLATFORM AND/OR SERVICES WILL MEET ANY PARTICULAR CRITERIA OF PERFORMANCE, QUALITY, ACCURACY, PURPOSE, OR NEED.  FURTHER, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE INTERNET IS A NETWORK OF PRIVATE AND PUBLIC NETWORKS, THAT PAYKICKSTART HAS NO CONTROL OVER THE INTERNET, AND THAT THIS SITE IS NOT LIABLE FOR THE DISCONTINUANCE OF OPERATION OF ANY PORTION OF THE INTERNET OR POSSIBLE REGULATION OF THE INTERNET WHICH MIGHT RESTRICT OR PROHIBIT THE OPERATION OF THIS SITE, THE AFFILIATE PLATFORM AND ITS SERVICES.  WE MAKE NO WARRANTY THAT YOU WILL MAKE MONEY OR NOT LOSE ANY MONEY IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR PARTICIPATION IN THE AFFILIATE NETWORK.

  3. Arbitration. Except for actions to protect intellectual property rights and to enforce an arbitrator’s decision hereunder, all disputes, controversies, or claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement or a breach thereof shall be submitted to and finally resolved by arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) then in effect.  There shall be one arbitrator, and such arbitrator shall be chosen by mutual agreement of the parties in accordance with AAA rules.  The arbitration shall take place in Carmel, Indiana and may be conducted by telephone or online.  The arbitrator shall apply the laws of the state of Indiana to all issues in dispute.  The controversy or claim shall be arbitrated on an individual basis, and shall not be consolidated in any arbitration with any claim or controversy of any other party.  The findings of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties, and may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction for enforcement.

  6. Miscellaneous. This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and merges all prior communications, understandings, and agreements. The failure of either party to enforce at any time any of the provisions hereof shall not be a waiver of such provision, or any other provision, or of the right of such party thereafter to enforce any provision hereof.  If any provision of this Agreement is declared invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary and possible to render it valid and enforceable.  In any event, the unenforceability or invalidity of any provision shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect, and be construed and enforced, as if such provision had not been included, or had been modified as above provided, as the case may be.
