In addition, you acknowledge that you have evaluated independently the desirability of participating in the Program and are not relying on any guarantee or statement other than contained in this Agreement.

  • Pre-Registering Businesses with Pushkart

    3.1 Affiliates may introduce Eligible Businesses to Pushkart as set forth below. If you have received permission from an Eligible Business, you may Pre-Register such Eligible Business with Pushkart by fully completing and submitting to Pushkart a Business Registration Form. You represent and warrant to Pushkart that each business you Pre-Register with Pushkart has authorized you to Pre-Register such business. Failure to obtain permission from a business prior to your Pre-Registration of such business shall be a material breach of this Agreement. Pre-Registered Businesses will receive a Confirmation E-mail from Pushkart. If a business you Pre-Registered contacts Pushkart by clicking the link included in such Confirmation E-mail, a temporary account will be activated for such business on the Pushkart Service, and such business may complete the registration process by confirming the data provided by you in the Business Pre-Registration Form, and submitting additional information to Pushkart such as a valid credit card number and a username and password.

    3.2 If an Eligible Business that you Pre-Registered successfully completes the registration process as set forth in Section 3.1, and Pushkart approves such Eligible Business for participation as an Active Business, such Eligible Business will be deemed an Active Business and you will be deemed the Credited Affiliate for such Active Business. Pushkart will send notice thereof to the Active Business and to you, and you will earn Referral Fees for such Active Business as set forth in Section 7. An Affiliate's status as an Credited Affiliate of an Active Business will terminate upon the conclusion of the Commission Term.

    3.3 If an Active Business was Pre-Registered with Pushkart by multiple Affiliates, you agree that only the Affiliate that submitted the Business Pre-Registration Form that generated the Confirmation E-mail that contained the link that was clicked by a representative of such Active Business as determined solely by Pushkart in its sole discretion will be deemed the Credited Affiliate eligible for Referral Fees related to such business.

    3.4 If an Active Business was Pre-Registered with Pushkart by you, but such business registered with Pushkart by any means other than as set forth above in Section 3.2, you agree that you shall not be eligible for Referral Fees related to such Active Business and you will not be deemed the Credited Affiliate of such Active Business. We will not be liable to you with respect to any failure by a business you solicited to use the link in the Confirmation E-mail to access the Pushkart Service for purposes of finalizing registration with us, including to the extent that such failure may result in any reduction of amounts that would otherwise be paid to you pursuant to this Agreement. You acknowledge that the Pushkart Service allows businesses to self-register with Pushkart via the Pushkart Site. You further acknowledge that we may at any time (directly or indirectly) solicit businesses to become our customers on terms that may differ from those published on the Pushkart Site.
