Terms of Service

Method Affiliate Network LLC agrees to allow your organization to access Method's consulting services and electronic tools — including the Purity Pet AI platform — as may be provided by Method from time to time at Method's discretion, via your own internet connection and electronic devices.

Method Affiliate Network LLC may change or add terms to this Agreement from time to time, at our sole discretion, by providing thirty (30) days prior written notice to Customer. Such changes shall become effective on the thirty-first (31st) day following receipt of notice.

The base price for the Service is described in your Customer Agreement. From time to time Method Affiliate Network LLC may make additional services available for a fee. You have no obligation to use these additional services — they are offered as additional value only. All Method materials and equipment used to provide the Service remain the property of Method Affiliate Network LLC unless otherwise specified.

Method Affiliate Network LLC will bill you for services in accordance with your Customer Agreement. Payments are due as specified in your Customer Agreement and shall be made in U.S. dollars. Payments must be made by credit card or other electronic means approved by Method.

• A 1.5% per month (18% per annum) interest charge will be added to all outstanding balances not received within 91 days of the due date.
• Any payment in bad funds (credit card declinations, etc.) will be assessed a $25 fee and be considered a material default of this Agreement.
• Repeated or malicious payment in bad funds will be considered a material default that will result in immediate termination of services.

Prices payable by Customer to Method Affiliate Network LLC under this Agreement are exclusive of any tax, levy, customs duty, import tax, or similar governmental charge that may be assessed by any jurisdiction. All such taxes are the sole responsibility of the Customer, except for net income taxes assessed on Method Affiliate Network LLC.

All trademarks, service marks, and trade names identifying Method Affiliate Network LLC, the Purity Pet AI brand, or Method's products or services (the "Marks") are the exclusive property of Method Affiliate Network LLC. Customer shall take no action that jeopardizes the Marks. Customer shall not use a Mark or the name of Method or Purity Pet AI in any advertising, promotional material, or public announcement without the prior written approval of Method Affiliate Network LLC. This provision applies reciprocally to all Marks of Customer.

Customer acknowledges that use of the Service may require that Method Affiliate Network LLC include Customer's name in registrations and administrative filings which are available to the public.

Method Affiliate Network LLC owns and retains exclusive ownership and rights to all content, materials, work product, deliverables, methods, techniques, strategies, electronic components, source code, programming, processes, and other intellectual property utilized in the development and ongoing provision of the Service — including the Purity Pet AI platform — regardless of the status of this Agreement or the registration of copyright.

Customer is granted a limited non-exclusive license to use the electronic tools and consulting services that comprise the Service only as provided by this Agreement. Customer will make no other use of the content, Method's intellectual property, or the Service without the express written permission of Method Affiliate Network LLC.

Method Affiliate Network LLC makes no claims of ownership to any Customer-supplied or input data placed into Method's electronic tools or utilized in Method's consulting services in the normal course of use of the Service. We will not use any of your data for any purpose except to provide you with the Service.

Method Affiliate Network LLC at its sole discretion may suspend or cancel the Service or any part of the Service with thirty (30) days written notice. Method may suspend or cancel without notice if it determines that its network, assets, or clientele are in jeopardy — in such event Method will use commercially reasonable measures to restore service.

Customer's sole remedy for any performance or nonperformance by Method Affiliate Network LLC shall be the crediting of a pro rata portion of the price paid for Service which was not provided. Method Affiliate Network LLC shall not be liable for punitive, exemplary, indirect, consequential, incidental, or special damages even if advised of the possibility in advance.

Method Affiliate Network LLC's liability for damages to Customer for any cause whatsoever, regardless of form of action, shall be limited to the amounts paid by Customer to Method Affiliate Network LLC during the one (1) month period preceding the incident giving rise to the claim.

You are solely and entirely responsible for obtaining and maintaining your own internet and telecommunications connections in order to access the Service.

Method Affiliate Network LLC is committed to protecting your data and providing access to the Service in accordance with commercially reasonable measures. Method's base Service includes internal data backup, recovery, and continuity procedures at no additional cost to you. These procedures are for Method's internal use only and may be modified by Method at its sole discretion.

You are solely and entirely responsible for the local management of your own information, for maintaining adequate local backup procedures, and for maintaining adequate local backups of your data in electronic or paper format to meet your specific needs.

You are solely and entirely responsible for development and maintenance of any security procedures you deem appropriate, such as logon security, encryption of data, UserID, alias, and password management on your own equipment and/or router and firewalls.

This Agreement shall be construed under and governed by the laws of the State of Maryland, without giving effect to its conflict of laws provisions or your actual state or country of residence. Both parties agree that any dispute arising under this Agreement shall be resolved before a court of competent jurisdiction within the County of Harford, Maryland. This Agreement may only be modified by a written amendment duly executed by Customer and Method Affiliate Network LLC.

The parties hereto will be deemed to have the status of independent contractors. Nothing in this Agreement will be construed to place either party in a relationship of employer-employee, principal-agent, partners, or joint ventures with the other. Neither party is authorized to bind the other party or make representations on the other's behalf.

If the performance of any obligation is interfered with by reason of any circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the party affected, that party shall be excused from such performance to the extent necessary, provided that the party so affected shall use reasonable and diligent efforts to remove such causes of nonperformance.

Method Affiliate Network LLC may assign its rights under this Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of Method Affiliate Network LLC and shall be binding upon Customer.

Failure of either party to assert any of its rights on any one occasion under this Agreement shall in no way be construed as a waiver of such rights on any other occasion, nor shall a waiver of any right of either party constitute or be deemed a waiver of any other right.

In the event that Method Affiliate Network LLC is required to undertake any actions or incurs any costs to enforce any term or provision of this Agreement, the Customer agrees to pay, upon demand, all such costs including reasonable attorney's fees and other collection charges, in addition to any other amounts due under the Agreement.

Customer must provide Method Affiliate Network LLC with written notice of any disputed charge(s) within one hundred and fifty (150) days of such charge or will be deemed to have waived its rights to dispute the charges. The dispute notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the information concerning the disputed charges and reasons for the dispute. Method Affiliate Network LLC and Customer shall attempt in good faith to promptly resolve any dispute.

• If the dispute is resolved in favor of Method Affiliate Network LLC, Customer shall pay the disputed amount within ten (10) days of such resolution.
• If the dispute is resolved in favor of Customer, Method Affiliate Network LLC shall issue a credit on Customer's account for the disputed amount.

This Agreement supersedes all prior communications between the parties relating to this subject. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect.

Performance under this Agreement may be waived only in writing specifically waiving such rights and signed by the parties. This Agreement shall be controlling over additional or different terms of any purchase order or similar document relating to Customer's purchase and use of the Service, even if accepted in writing by both parties.
