1.3 DataScope will determine the prices to be charged for services sold under this Program in accordance with our own pricing policies. Services’ prices and availability may vary from time to time. If Affiliate chooses to display DataScope services’ prices on his/her own website, the Affiliate should keep this information up-to-date with the prices indicated on DataScope 's website (https://www.myDataScope.com/pricing).

3.4 If the Referred Client signs up for DataScope services by going to DataScope’s website directly, such Referred Client will not be associated with the Affiliate who referred it to DataScope, and therefore the Affiliate will earn no Referral Fee. 

3.5 Section 3.4 above is not applicable if the Referred Client initially uses the Affiliate's cookie-based link provided by DataScope to access DataScope’s website and within thirty (30) days ("Cookie Period") thereafter signs up for DataScope services, including by going to DataScope’s website directly.

4.3.Any euro denomination Referral Fees will be converted into US dollars for payment via PayPal, using the real mid-market rate on the last business day of each month as the currency exchange rate. Depending on the currency settings of the Affiliate’s PayPal account, PayPal may convert the amount into some other currency than US dollar using an exchange rate that is based on PayPal’s contract with the Affiliate.

4.4 If the accrued Referral Fee is or exceeds $50, the accrued Referral Fee will be paid to the Affiliate by approximately the 15th of the month following the end of each month via PayPal. If the accrued Referral Fee is less than $50, the Referral Fee will be further accumulated by DataScope until the accrued Referral Fee reaches at least $50.

In addition, Referred Client payments for annual subscriptions that are cancelled or payments charged-back due to credit card fraud do not qualify for Referral Fee.

4.6.In case the Affiliate believes the Referral Fee has been wrongly calculated, the matter must be brought into DataScope’s attention by email to payments@mydatascope.com within 5 business days of Affiliate receiving the report. Not doing so will constitute Affiliate’s acceptance of the calculation and the payment made based on it.

10.2.In the interest of resolving any disputes that arise between you and DataScope in the most expedient and cost effective manner, you and DataScope agree that any and all disputes arising in connection with the Affiliate Agreement shall be resolved by binding arbitration, as further specified below:

Arbitration. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes, but is not limited to all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the AffiliateAgreement, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether the claims arise during or after the termination of your Affiliate Account.YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE, YOU AND DATASCOPE ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURYOR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.Notwithstanding the contents of Section 10.2.a above, you and DataScope agree that nothing herein shall be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit either party’s right to (i)pursue enforcement actions through applicable regional, municipal, or local agencies where such actions are available, (ii) seek injunctive relief in a court of law, or (iii) to file suit in a court of law to address intellectual property infringement claims.Any arbitration between you andDataScope will be governed by the Santiago Chamber of Commerce (Cámara deComercio de Santiago A.G.) The parties confer special and irrevocable power to the Chamber of Commerce of Santiago AG, so that, at the written request of either party, an arbitrator will be appointed to arbiter as to procedure and law regarding the ruling, from among the members of the refereeing corps of the Arbitration and Mediation Center of Santiago(Centro de Arbitraje y Mediación de Santiago).Notice; Process. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other, by certified mail or Federal Express (signature required), or in the event that DataScope does not have a physical address on file for you, by electronic mail (herein “Notice”). DataScope’s address for Notice is set forth in the preamble of the Affiliate Agreement. The Notice must (a)describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (herein “Demand”). You and DataScope agree to use good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if no such resolution is reached within thirty (30) days after the Notice is received, you or DataScope may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or DataScopes hall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any.Fees. In the event that you commence arbitration in accordance with the Affiliate Agreement, each party will be responsible for its own expenses and the payment of any fees to Chamber of Commerce of Santiago or the arbitrator shall be decided by the Chamber of Commerce of Santiago Rules. Any arbitration hearings will take place at a location to be agreed upon in the Metropolitan Region inChile, provided that if the claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a non-appearance based telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the Chamber ofCommerce of Santiago Rules. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose, then the payment of all fees will be governed by the Chamber of Commerce of Santiago Rules. In such case, you agree to reimburse DataScope for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the Chamber of Commerce ofSantiago Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within fourteen (14) days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.No Class Actions. YOU AND DATASCOPE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you andDataScope agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of are presentative or class proceeding.Modifications. In the event that DataScope makes any future change to this arbitration provision(other than a change to DataScope’s address for Notice), you may reject any such change by sending DataScope written notice within thirty(30) days of the change to DataScope’s address for Notice, in which case your Affiliate Account shall be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the amendments you reject, shall survive.Enforceability. If the entirety of this Section 10.2 is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 10.2 shall be null and void and, in such case, the parties agree that such action arising out of or related to the AffiliateAgreement shall be brought in the region or municipal courts located in Santiago,Metropolitan Region.
