However, in the event of any inconsistency between the terms of the specific Engagement and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the Engagement shall govern.
1.3. At any time we may, with or without notice:
- Implement new rules that may apply to any offers or Engagements;
- Change, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of an offer or an Engagement;
- Remove, alter, or modify any graphic or banner ad that we have submitted for an offer or an Engagement. You agree to promptly implement any request from Us to discontinue your participation or otherwise remove, alter, or modify any such content, graphic, banner ad, or other method of promotion.

Cancellation adjustments will be applied on an ongoing basis for orders canceled by our customers in accordance with our refund policies. Each party will be responsible for the payment of all federal, state, and local sales, use, value-added, or other taxes that are levied or imposed on it by reason of the transactions under this Agreement (other than for taxes based on the other party’s income or as set forth above). If a party is required to pay any such taxes for which the other party is responsible, then the taxes will be billed to and paid by such other party.
3.2. A “Qualifying Link” is a link from Your site to Our site using one of the Required URLs or any other URL provided by Us if it is the last link to Our site that the Customer uses during a Session where a sale of a product or a service to Customer occurs.
