Affiliate Program Terms

Version 1.0. Last updated: September 30, 2026.

These Affiliate Program Terms (the "Terms") are an agreement between you and Reverge LLC, which operates the Signal & Science service ("Signal & Science", "we", "us", "our"). Our mailing address is 5319 University Dr PMB 9483, Irvine, CA 92612. These Terms govern your participation in the Signal & Science Affiliate Program (the "Program").

You accept these Terms by clicking to accept them when you apply in the Affiliate Portal, or by taking part in the Program. Clicking to accept is your electronic signature and has the same effect as a signed paper agreement. If you accept for an organization, you confirm that you may bind it, and "you" means that organization. You are responsible for anyone who promotes Signal & Science on your behalf, and their breach is your breach.

Please read Section 22 carefully. It requires disputes to be resolved by binding individual arbitration unless you opt out of arbitration within 30 days as Section 22.7 explains. Whether or not you opt out, Section 22.5 waives class actions and, to the extent the law allows, jury trials. Please also read Sections 16 and 17 (termination), 20 (indemnity) and 21 (limitation of liability).

1. Definitions

  • "Active Sales Conversation": a prospect with which, within the 30 days before the relevant click or code use, we held or booked a sales call or demo, sent a proposal, or exchanged two-way correspondence about buying. Visiting our websites, subscribing to our newsletter or running the free marketing diagnosis does not, on its own, create an Active Sales Conversation.
  • "Affiliate Code": a unique discount code we issue to you under Section 4.3.
  • "Affiliate Link": the unique tracked link issued to you in the Affiliate Portal.
  • "Affiliate Portal": the affiliate dashboard at partners.signalandscience.com, operated for us by our program provider, PromoteKit, or a replacement provider we name by notice.
  • "Approved Commission": Commission that has cleared its Hold Period under Section 7.1.
  • "Business Day": a weekday other than a public holiday in California.
  • "Commission": the amount you earn under Section 6.
  • "Commission Period": the 12 months starting on the date of a Referred Customer's First Paid Invoice.
  • "Eligible Plan": the Solo, Growth and Business plans, billed monthly, as offered at signalandscience.com/pricing. The Agency plan, and any annual, custom or negotiated billing, are not Eligible Plans.
  • "First Paid Invoice": the first Eligible Plan invoice a Referred Customer pays in full.
  • "Good Standing": you are not suspended or under review under Section 7.8, your participation was not ended for breach, and you owe us nothing under these Terms.
  • "Hold Period": the 30 days after we receive each payment on which Commission may be earned.
  • "Net Revenue": base subscription fees for an Eligible Plan that we actually collect from a Referred Customer, less, to the extent not already deducted from the amount collected, refunds, credits, chargebacks, reversals, taxes (including sales, use, VAT, GST and similar taxes) and discounts (including any Affiliate Code discount). We do not deduct our payment processing fees.
  • "New Customer": as defined in Section 6.3.
  • "Partner Registration": a client registration that we have accepted under a signed Signal & Science partner agreement and that is still within its protection period.
  • "Referred Customer": a New Customer attributed to you under Section 5 that pays for an Eligible Plan.
  • "Related Party": you; any business you own, control, work for or are contracted by; any business under common ownership or control with you; and members of your household.
  • "Resources": our names and logos, and the marketing materials and guidance we provide in the Affiliate Portal or the partner kit.
  • "Site": signalandscience.com, www.signalandscience.com and app.signalandscience.com.

"Days" means calendar days unless Business Days are stated. "Including" means including without limitation. "Written" and "in writing" include email.

2. How the Program works

2.1 You share your Affiliate Link (and any Affiliate Code we issue you) with your audience. When a New Customer arrives through it and buys an Eligible Plan, you earn Commission on the Net Revenue we collect from that customer during its Commission Period.

2.2 Signal & Science sells to and bills every customer directly, under our customer terms at https://app.signalandscience.com/terms-of-service. Those terms decide who may become a customer; at the date of these Terms, the service is offered to businesses operating in the United States. You do not resell Signal & Science, set prices, accept orders, or collect any payment from a customer.

2.3 The Program is for promoting Signal & Science to an audience. It does not include lead submission, deal registration, or introductions of named prospects for credit; those are available only to partners under a separate signed partner agreement. You may tell anyone about Signal & Science and share your link with them, but you may not send us a prospect's details to claim credit. If you advise clients one to one (for example as an agency, consultancy or fractional marketing leader), you may apply to be a partner at signalandscience.com/partners.

2.4 PromoteKit provides the Affiliate Portal, tracking and payout processing for us. Your use of the Affiliate Portal may also be subject to PromoteKit's own terms and privacy notice.

2.5 The Program is non-exclusive for both of us. You may promote other products, and we may work with any other affiliate or partner and sell to anyone directly.

2.6 If you joined the Program before September 30, 2026, these Terms apply to you from the date we notify you of them. Commission on payments we received before that date is calculated under the terms that applied when we received them.

3. Eligibility and your account

3.1 To join, you must: be at least 18 and able to form a binding contract; take part for business or professional purposes, not as a consumer; give accurate and current information in the Affiliate Portal; accept these Terms; not be an employee or contractor of Reverge LLC; and not be located in, or be a person or entity subject to, a country or list covered by US or other applicable sanctions laws.

3.2 We may accept or decline any application at our discretion. On request, you will promptly verify your identity, business and payout details, and your ownership or control of the websites and channels you use to promote us.

3.3 Each person or organization may hold one affiliate account. You may not open further accounts, directly or through others, or register by automated means. Keep your login secure; you are responsible for all activity under your account. If we end your participation for breach, you may not rejoin without our written consent.

3.4 If you are an organization, you will make sure everyone who promotes Signal & Science for you knows and follows these Terms.

5. Tracking and attribution

5.1 Order of rules. We credit each customer to at most one affiliate or partner, and Commission is never split. We apply these rules in order:

  • (a) a customer covered by a Partner Registration is credited to that partner, even if it used your Affiliate Link or Affiliate Code;
  • (b) otherwise, a purchase made with an Affiliate Code (or a partner's code) is credited to the holder of that code, under Section 5.2;
  • (c) otherwise, a purchase is credited under the last-click rule in Section 5.3.

5.2 Codes. A purchase made with your Affiliate Code is credited to you even if the customer last clicked another affiliate's link. This does not apply if your code has been published or shared beyond your own audience (as described in Section 4.3) without our written approval. In that case we may disable the code and withhold credit for any purchase made with it after it was first published or shared that way, and you earn no Commission on those purchases through any link or code.

5.3 Links: 90 days, last click. A New Customer is credited to you if it clicked your Affiliate Link and bought an Eligible Plan within 90 days after that click, and no later click on another affiliate's or partner's link came before the purchase.

5.4 Tracking limits. Tracking uses cookies and similar technology and respects each visitor's privacy choices. It runs only where the visitor's settings and consent allow, and it may fail if a visitor declines tracking, blocks or clears cookies, or buys on another device or browser. A sale that is not tracked to you in the Affiliate Portal earns no Commission. We may, but need not, credit a sale that was not tracked.

5.5 Records and missed referrals. Attribution and Commission are determined from our billing records and the Affiliate Portal, which control absent manifest error. If you believe a referral was missed or wrongly credited, tell us through the Affiliate Portal or at partnership@signalandscience.com within 60 days after the purchase, with the details you have. We will review in good faith and tell you our decision. Claims made after 60 days are not considered.

5.6 We are not responsible for disputes between you and other affiliates or partners about credit. Our attribution decision under this Section 5 applies.

6. Commission

6.1 Rate and duration. You earn 25% of Net Revenue from each Referred Customer's Eligible Plan payments that we receive during its Commission Period, which is up to 12 monthly payments. Commission stops earlier if the customer cancels or stops paying, or when your participation ends (Section 17).

6.2 Plan changes. If a Referred Customer moves between Solo, Growth and Business, you keep earning on the plan it pays for, within the original Commission Period; a plan change does not restart it. If a Referred Customer moves to the Agency plan, Commission stops unless we agree otherwise in writing before the move.

6.3 New Customers only. A New Customer is an organization or person that, at the credited click or code use and at its First Paid Invoice:

  • (a) has never had a paid Signal & Science plan of any kind, under any email, account or workspace;
  • (b) had no Signal & Science account or workspace of any kind, including a free, trial or test account, created before the credited click (this item does not apply to a purchase credited to an Affiliate Code, where item (a) is enough);
  • (c) is not returning after cancelling, pausing, obtaining a refund or letting a subscription lapse;
  • (d) was not in an Active Sales Conversation with us, and was not covered by a Partner Registration;
  • (e) is not a Related Party; and
  • (f) is accepted as a customer under our customer terms.

Running the free marketing diagnosis, subscribing to our newsletter or visiting the Site before clicking your link does not, on its own, disqualify anyone. Several accounts used by one organization, or by organizations under common ownership or control, count as one customer.

6.4 Individual terms. We may agree different terms with you individually. They apply only if we confirm them in writing (email from us is enough), only for the scope and period stated, and they are confidential under Section 14. All other Terms still apply.

6.5 No self-referrals. No Commission is earned on purchases by or for a Related Party, including through your own link or code.

6.6 What earns nothing. No Commission is earned on:

  • (a) credit top-ups, usage, add-ons, extra seats or capacity, services, or anything other than an Eligible Plan's base subscription fee;
  • (b) the Agency plan, unless we agree Commission for a specific Agency customer in writing before it buys;
  • (c) annual billing, which we do not currently offer and which would earn Commission only under updated Terms;
  • (d) taxes, refunds, credits, reversals, chargebacks, and amounts removed by discounts;
  • (e) payments received after the Commission Period, or after your participation ends;
  • (f) sales that are not tracked to you, customers that are not New Customers, and Related Party purchases; and
  • (g) sales made in breach of these Terms or through fraud or abuse.

6.7 Only payment. Commission is the only amount we pay you. You bear your own costs.

7. Hold Period, payouts, clawbacks and taxes

7.1 Hold Period on every payment. Commission on each payment is pending for 30 days after we receive the payment. The hold covers the 30-day money-back guarantee on each customer's first payment and allows for refunds and chargebacks, and it applies to every payment, not only the first. After the Hold Period the Commission becomes Approved Commission, unless the payment has been refunded, reversed or charged back, or a payment dispute about it is still open (in which case it stays pending until the dispute is resolved).

7.2 Monthly payouts. We pay Approved Commission once a month, in US dollars, no later than 30 days after the end of the calendar month in which it became Approved Commission, by PayPal, Wise or another payout method offered in the Affiliate Portal.

7.3 Payout fees. Transfer, currency conversion and payout service fees charged to the recipient are borne by you. We are not responsible for exchange rates.

7.4 Minimum payout. We pay when your Approved Commission balance is at least $50. Smaller balances carry forward until they reach $50. Section 17.1(d) covers a final balance under $50.

7.5 Payout details and tax forms. Before we pay you, you must give accurate payout details and the tax forms we request (for example IRS Form W-9, W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E). We may hold payouts, without interest, until you do. We are not responsible for payments lost because of details you supplied. Amounts we cannot pay are handled as unclaimed property law requires.

7.6 Clawback. If a payment on which Commission was approved or paid is refunded, reversed or charged back within 120 days after we received it, we will deduct that Commission from your future Commission or, if that is not enough, invoice you, and you will pay within 30 days. Commission paid in error, or on sales tied to fraud or a breach of these Terms, may be recovered the same way at any time. Underpayments are corrected in the next payout.

7.7 Taxes. You are responsible for all taxes and reporting on your Commission. Commission includes any VAT, GST or similar tax you are required to charge. We may withhold amounts, and issue Forms 1099 or other returns, where the law requires.

7.8 Review holds. If we reasonably suspect a breach, fraud or invalid activity, we may hold the related Commission while we investigate, for up to 60 days, plus any period during which a related chargeback or payment dispute remains open. We will tell you the outcome.

7.9 Set-off. We may set off any amount you owe us under these Terms against Commission.

8. Disclosure and truthful promotion

8.1 Disclose every time. Whenever you recommend Signal & Science or share your Affiliate Link or Affiliate Code, clearly disclose that you earn a commission if people buy through it. The disclosure must be in plain words (for example, "I earn a commission if you buy through my link."), placed next to the recommendation where people see it before they click (not only in a bio, footer, link list or behind a "more" button), in the language of the content, and, in video and audio, said out loud as well as shown. A bare "affiliate link" label or hashtag may not be enough. You must also comply with endorsement, review and advertising laws where your content is seen, including the US Federal Trade Commission's Endorsement Guides and its rule on consumer reviews and testimonials.

8.2 Truthful claims. Anything you say about Signal & Science, its features, plans or prices must match signalandscience.com when you publish. You must not:

  • (a) promise or imply guaranteed results, rankings, revenue, savings or return on spend;
  • (b) claim any security certification, audit, compliance attestation, or sign-in or security feature that signalandscience.com does not state (send security and compliance questions to us);
  • (c) claim that Signal & Science watches a business continuously or responds instantly (it runs scheduled monitoring between sessions);
  • (d) cite customer results, testimonials or case studies we have not published, or present an example without labeling it illustrative;
  • (e) imply experience with the product that you do not have;
  • (f) post or procure fake or undisclosed paid reviews or testimonials, or reviews written by anyone who has not used the product;
  • (g) put a price in a headline, subject line or ad title, or quote a price or offer that the pricing page does not show; or
  • (h) make any promise or commitment on our behalf.

8.3 Comparisons. Comparisons with other products must be accurate, current and fair.

10. Paid advertising

10.1 You may not run paid advertising or buy paid placements promoting Signal & Science, in any format or on any platform, without our prior written approval (email from partnership@signalandscience.com is enough). Approval covers only the campaign, platform, keywords, creative and destinations we approve, and we may withdraw it on notice. Brand keyword bidding is never permitted, and in any approved search campaign you will add our brand terms as negative keywords where the platform allows.

10.2 Unless our approval says otherwise, approved ads must send people to a page you own (such as your own review or guide), not directly to the Site, and may not use your Affiliate Link as the destination URL. All other Terms, including disclosure and truthful claims, apply to ads.

11. Outreach and personal data

11.1 You are the sender. If you send email or other messages that promote Signal & Science, you are the sender and must comply with anti-spam and electronic marketing laws, including the CAN-SPAM Act and the Telephone Consumer Protection Act and, where they apply, equivalent laws in other countries. You must honor opt-outs and, on request, stop contacting any address we give you.

11.2 No lead submission. Do not send us personal data about people you refer. Referrals are credited only through tracking under Section 5.

11.3 Your own notices. You are responsible for the notices and consents your own websites, tracking, email lists and marketing require.

11.4 Portal information. The Affiliate Portal may show limited information about your referrals, such as sign-up and payment status and Commission amounts. Use it only to manage your participation; do not use it to contact or market to Referred Customers or disclose it to others. Protect any personal data you receive through the Program with reasonable safeguards, tell us within 72 hours after you learn of any unauthorized access to it, and forward to us, without answering, any request from a person about our processing of their data.

11.5 Your data. We process your personal data (name, contact, payout, tax and Program activity) to run the Program, pay you and meet legal obligations, as described in our privacy policy at https://app.signalandscience.com/privacy, and we share it with PromoteKit, payment providers, our professional advisers and tax authorities for those purposes.

12. Brand license

12.1 While you comply with these Terms, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable, royalty-free license to use the Resources solely to promote Signal & Science under these Terms and any brand guidance we provide.

12.2 Use the Resources as provided. Do not modify or recolor our logo, combine it with your own mark, or keep using materials we have replaced. Your own name must be the main identifier on your content and channels.

12.3 We own the Resources, our names and marks, our product and the Site, and all goodwill from your use of our brand. We reserve all rights not expressly granted. You will not challenge our marks or help anyone else do so. We may review your use of our brand and your link at any time, and you will make any change we request within 5 Business Days (immediately for anything Section 9 prohibits). We may use any feedback you give us without obligation to you.

13. Customers

Every Referred Customer is our customer. Our customer terms, policies and prices apply, and we decide who may become or remain a customer. We may change our products, plans, features and prices at any time, and may suspend or close customer accounts under our customer terms. We owe you no duty to win, keep or renew any customer.

14. Confidentiality

Non-public information we share with you about the Program, including any individual terms, performance data, unreleased product or pricing information, and partner kit materials not published on the Site, is confidential. Use it only to take part in the Program and do not disclose it, except to advisers or helpers who need it and are bound by similar duties, or as the law requires (after telling us, where the law allows). This does not apply to information that is public through no fault of yours or that you lawfully obtained elsewhere without a duty of confidence. These duties last while you take part and for 3 years after your participation ends, and for trade secrets for as long as they remain secret.

15. Changes to these Terms and the Program

15.1 We may change these Terms or the Program by notice by email or in the Affiliate Portal, and by updating the version and "Last updated" date. Unless the notice states a later date:

  • (a) changes to the Commission rate, the Commission Period, the 90-day window or payout terms take effect on the date stated in the notice, which may be the date the notice is sent (we may change them at any time);
  • (b) other material changes take effect 15 days after notice; and
  • (c) clarifications and changes required by law take effect when posted.

15.2 Commission on payments we received before a change takes effect is calculated under the Terms then in force. A change to Section 22 does not apply to a Dispute for which a Notice of Dispute was sent before the change took effect.

15.3 If you do not agree to a change, you may leave the Program before it takes effect. Continuing to take part after that date means you accept it.

15.4 We may close the Program on 30 days' notice. Section 17 then applies.

16. Suspension and termination

16.1 By you. You may end your participation at any time by notice through the Affiliate Portal or to partnership@signalandscience.com. It takes effect when received, unless your notice states a later date.

16.2 By us, for any reason. We may end your participation for any reason on 30 days' notice.

16.3 By us, for a curable breach. If you breach these Terms and the breach can be cured, we will tell you in writing, and you will have 30 days to cure it. If you do not, we may end your participation by notice. A breach is cured only when you have stopped the conduct, removed or corrected the content, and taken reasonable steps to undo its effects. During the cure period we may suspend the links, codes and Commission connected with the breach.

16.4 By us, immediately. We may suspend or end your participation immediately, without a cure period, if we reasonably believe you have:

  • (a) acted fraudulently or dishonestly, including self-referral, tracking manipulation, fake accounts or false information;
  • (b) sent spam or unlawful messages;
  • (c) bid on or targeted our brand terms;
  • (d) impersonated us or misrepresented your relationship with us;
  • (e) broken the law, or become subject to sanctions, in connection with the Program;
  • (f) exposed us to material legal or regulatory risk or serious harm to our reputation or customers;
  • (g) committed a breach that cannot be cured; or
  • (h) repeated a breach we had already told you about.

We may also act immediately if the law or a payment or program provider requires it.

17. Effect of termination

17.1 When your participation ends for any reason:

  • (a) no new Commission accrues, every Commission Period ends, and payments we receive after the end date earn nothing;
  • (b) Commission on Eligible Plan payments we received before the end date remains payable after its Hold Period, in the ordinary payout cycle, subject to Sections 7.6 to 7.9 and item (c);
  • (c) if we ended your participation for breach, you forfeit only Commission on customers or purchases obtained through, or connected with, the breach, and we may recover any such Commission already paid; other Commission remains payable;
  • (d) if you are in Good Standing, we pay a final Approved Commission balance under $50 in the next payout run after the last Hold Period ends; if you are not, we first set that balance off against any amount you owe us and pay any remainder if you ask in writing within 90 days after the end date;
  • (e) your license ends and, within 5 Business Days, you must remove your link, any code, and our logos and Resources from your content, although truthful editorial mentions without a link or code may remain; and
  • (f) we will deactivate your Affiliate Link and any Affiliate Code.

17.2 Sections 5.5, 5.6, 7, 11, 12.3, 13, 14 and 17 to 23, and any term that by its nature should survive, survive the end of your participation.

18. Relationship

You are an independent contractor. These Terms create no employment, agency, partnership, franchise or joint venture. You cannot bind us or commit us to anything, and must not suggest otherwise. You are not entitled to any employee benefits from us, and you are responsible for your own people and their pay.

19. Promises and disclaimers

19.1 You promise that your information is accurate and current; that you will comply with these Terms and with all laws and platform rules that apply to your promotion, including advertising, endorsement, consumer protection, anti-spam, privacy, anti-bribery and sanctions laws; that your content does not infringe anyone's rights; and that accepting these Terms breaches no other agreement.

19.2 The Program, the Affiliate Portal, tracking and the Resources are provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim all implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We do not promise that tracking will be complete or error free, or that you will earn any amount, and you have not relied on any statement about earnings. We are not responsible for the services of PromoteKit or payment providers.

20. Indemnity

20.1 You will defend (at our option), indemnify and hold harmless Reverge LLC and its affiliates, officers, directors, members, employees and agents from third-party claims, and related losses, fines, penalties, settlements, costs and reasonable legal fees, arising from: (a) your participation, content and channels; (b) your breach of these Terms; (c) your violation of law, including disclosure, endorsement, consumer protection, anti-spam and privacy laws; (d) any claim that your content infringes anyone's rights, except unmodified Resources used as permitted; (e) claims by your own people, including for pay or commission shares; or (f) taxes or other obligations you owe.

20.2 We will tell you promptly about a claim (a delay relieves you only to the extent it prejudices you). If we ask you to defend it, you will use counsel reasonably acceptable to us, and we may take part with our own counsel at our cost. You may not settle a claim that imposes any obligation or admission on us without our written consent.

21. Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS:

(A) WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, BUSINESS, GOODWILL OR DATA, ARISING FROM THESE TERMS OR THE PROGRAM, ON ANY THEORY, EVEN IF WE WERE TOLD THEY WERE POSSIBLE; AND

(B) OUR TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING FROM THESE TERMS OR THE PROGRAM WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF $1,000 AND THE COMMISSION PAID TO YOU IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

This Section does not reduce Commission you have earned and that is payable under these Terms, and nothing in these Terms limits liability that the law does not allow to be limited. These limits are an essential part of the bargain and apply even if a remedy fails of its essential purpose.

22. Governing law, arbitration and class-action waiver

22.1 Governing law. These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules, and by applicable US federal law. The Federal Arbitration Act governs this Section 22. The UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

22.2 Informal resolution first. Before starting arbitration or a court action, the party with a claim will send a written Notice of Dispute describing the claim and the relief requested (to us at partnership@signalandscience.com; to you at your account email). We will both try in good faith to resolve it for 30 days. If it is not resolved, either party may start arbitration.

22.3 Agreement to arbitrate. Any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Program (a "Dispute") will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by JAMS under its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (or, for claims under $250,000, its Streamlined Arbitration Rules), before a single arbitrator. The arbitrator decides questions about the scope and enforceability of this Section 22, except as Section 22.9 provides.

22.4 Exceptions. Either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court if it qualifies. Either party may ask a court for injunctive or other equitable relief for actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of its intellectual property or confidentiality rights.

22.5 Class-action and jury-trial waiver. TO THE EXTENT THE LAW ALLOWS, YOU AND WE WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO BRING OR TAKE PART IN A CLASS ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. Disputes proceed only on an individual basis. The arbitrator may not consolidate or join more than one participant's claims, may not preside over any class or representative proceeding, and may award relief only to an individual party and only as needed for that party's individual claim.

22.6 Seat, award and fees. Arbitration will take place in Los Angeles, California or, by agreement, by video. The arbitrator will issue a written, reasoned award, which is final and binding and may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Each party pays its own attorneys' fees and costs unless the arbitrator awards otherwise under applicable law. Filing and arbitrator fees are paid as the JAMS rules require; we will pay your share of arbitrator fees if the arbitrator finds your claim is not frivolous and you cannot afford to pay.

22.7 Opt-out. You may opt out of this agreement to arbitrate by emailing partnership@signalandscience.com within 30 days after you first accept these Terms, with the subject line "Arbitration Opt-Out" and your name and account email. Opting out does not affect any other part of these Terms.

22.8 Courts. Any court action permitted under these Terms (including if you opt out, under the exceptions in Section 22.4, or to enforce an award) must be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California, and each party consents to the personal jurisdiction and venue of those courts.

22.9 Severability. If any part of this Section 22 is held unenforceable, the rest continues to apply. If the class-action waiver is held unenforceable for a particular Dispute, that Dispute (and only that Dispute) will be severed and heard in court. If a request for public injunctive relief cannot lawfully be arbitrated, that request will be severed and heard in court after the individual claims are arbitrated.

22.10 Time limit. To the extent the law allows, any claim arising out of these Terms or the Program must be brought within one year after it arises, or it is permanently barred.

23. General

23.1 Entire agreement and precedence. These Terms, with any individual terms we confirm in writing under Sections 6.2, 6.4 or 6.6(b), are the entire agreement about the Program and replace any earlier program terms, summaries or statements. Individual terms apply over these Terms only for the scope they state. Program guides, FAQs, the partner kit and the Affiliate Portal explain the Program but do not change these Terms; if they conflict, these Terms control.

23.2 Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our written consent. We may assign them to an affiliate or to a successor in a merger, acquisition, reorganization or sale of assets, on notice.

23.3 Severability and waiver. An unenforceable provision is enforced to the maximum extent possible and the rest remain in effect. Not enforcing a provision is not a waiver.

23.4 Notices. We give notice to your account email or in the Affiliate Portal. You give notice to partnership@signalandscience.com. Email notice is effective when sent, unless the sender receives a delivery failure. Formal notices to us may also be sent by post to Reverge LLC at the mailing address above.

23.5 Records and audit. Keep reasonable records of where and how you promoted Signal & Science while you take part and for 12 months afterward, and share them with us on reasonable request.

23.6 Force majeure. Neither party is liable for delay or failure caused by events beyond its reasonable control, except payment obligations.

23.7 Other. There are no third-party beneficiaries, except the persons indemnified under Section 20. The English version controls. Headings are for convenience only.
