Network Operator shall be responsible for paying any and all applicable CDN Media Usage Fees. CDN Media Usage Fees will be calculated and billed based on the amount of Gigabytes recorded for each Monthly Billing Cycle at which time either (a) the credit or debit card that you provided during registration (“Active Credit Card”) will be charged the CDN Media Usage Fees; or (b) you will receive an invoice for the CDN Media Usage Fees which must be paid, in full, upon receipt, with the payment method to be determined by HasOffers™ in its sole discretion. All determinations with respect to the amount of Gigabytes transferred shall be made by HasOffers™, in its sole discretion, and any such determinations shall be final and binding on Network Operator. You shall continue to be charged CDN Media Usage Fees for each Gigabyte transfer recorded unless and until you Terminate this Agreement thereby cancelling your Custom Network. You will be responsible for all unpaid CDN Media Usage Fees accrued prior to account Termination and those fees will become due immediately upon account Termination.

Continued membership in the HasOffers™ Platform after receipt of such notice shall constitute consent to any and all such changes; provided, however, that any amendment or modification to the Billing Provisions shall not apply to any charges incurred prior to the applicable amendment or modification. If you do not agree with these changes, you may cancel your Network Operator account at any time by Termination of this Agreement, but you will remain responsible for timely payment of any and all fees charged pursuant to this Agreement that you have already incurred (including any applicable late fees).

11.4 HasOffers™ Support. All HasOffers™ support, including, but not limited to email, chat, and phone support will be provided in the English Language only. Although HasOffers™ may make the HasOffers™ Platform available in different languages, all customer support will be provided in English only.
11.5 HasOffers™ may make available, for additional fees that HasOffers™ shall publish from time-to-time, enhanced reporting capabilities and/or other services that are not included in the standard HasOffers™ services packages.
11.6 HasOffers™ has subsidiaries and affiliated legal entities around the world (“Subsidiaries and Affiliates”). Sometimes, these companies will be providing services to you on behalf of HasOffers™ itself. You acknowledge and agree that the Subsidiaries and Affiliates will be entitled to provide the Services to you.
11.7 HasOffers™ is constantly innovating in order to provide the best possible experience for its users. You acknowledge and agree that the form and nature of the HasOffers™ Platform which HasOffers™ provides may change from time to time without prior notice to you.
11.8 The HasOffers™ Platform which you use may be updated from time to time by HasOffers™. These updates are designed to improve, enhance and further develop the HasOffers™ Platform and may take the form of bug fixes, enhanced functions, new software modules and completely new versions. You agree to receive such updates (and permit HasOffers™ to deliver these to you) as part of your use of the HasOffers™ Platform.
11.9 You acknowledge and agree that while HasOffers™ may not currently have set a fixed upper limit on the number of transmissions you may send or receive through your Custom Network or on the amount of storage space used for the provision of your Custom Network, such fixed upper limits may be set by HasOffers™ at any time, at HasOffers’™ discretion.
12. API Rate Limiting.
12.1 The HasOffers™ Platform API only allows you to make a limited number of calls in a given hour. The default rate limit for calls to the REST API is sixty (60) requests per hour. The REST API does both account and IP-based rate limiting. Authenticated API calls are charged to the authenticating user’s limit while unauthenticated API calls are deducted from the calling IP address’ allotment. Rate limiting only applies to methods that request information with the HTTP GET command. API methods that use HTTP POST to submit data to HasOffers™, such as user information do not affect rate limits. Additionally, requests to account/rate_limit_status are not charged to a limit. Your Custom Network should recognize it is being rate-limited by the REST API if it begins to receive HTTP 400 response codes. It is best practice for Custom Networks to monitor their current rate limit status and dynamically throttle requests if necessary. The REST API offers two ways to observe this status: (a) the account/rate_limit_status method. Calling this method does not count against the requestor’s API limit and (b) HTTP response headers included in all REST API responses which count against the rate limit: (1) X-RateLimit-Limit the current limit in effect; (2) X-RateLimit-Remaining the number of hits remaining before you are rate limited and (3) X-RateLimit-Reset the time the current rate limiting period ends in epoch time.
12.2 Whitelisting. Some Custom Networks find that the default limit proves insufficient. Under such circumstances, we offer whitelisting. It is possible to whitelist both accounts and IP addresses. Each whitelisted entity, whether an account or IP address, is allowed 3600 requests per hour. If you have a Custom Network that should be considered for whitelisting, please fill out the whitelisting request form. Our manual review process can take up to a week. In some cases, additional fees will apply for additional API requests. Upgrading to a Dedicated Solution edition may be required to accommodate Custom Networks with high volume API requests. If you have a whitelisting that needs to be updated through the addition or removal of IP addresses, reapply with an explanation of the change. Approval or rejection for whitelisting requests is emailed to the email address associated with the account that filed the application.
12.3 Avoiding the Rate Limiter. The same general techniques and design decisions can be used to avoid the crunch of the rate limiter: (a) Caching: Store API responses in your application or on your site if you expect high-volume usage. For example, don’t try to call the HasOffers™ API on every page load of your hugely popular website. Instead, call our API infrequently, cache the response on your end, and display the local version on page loads. (b) Prioritize active users: If your site keeps track of many Custom Network users (for example, fetching their statistics), consider only requesting data for users who have recently signed into your site. (c) Search back-offs: If your application monitors a high volume of search terms, query less often for searches that have no results than for those that do. By using a back-off you can keep up to date on queries that are hot but not waste cycles requesting queries that very rarely change.
12.4 Blacklisting. We ask that you honor the rate limit. Consistent failure to avoid the rate-limiter will signal HasOffers™ to automatically blacklist your Custom Network. You know that you are blacklisted if your user is unable to get a response for a request sent to the API. It appears as if API calls are sent down a blackhole. If your Custom Network has been blacklisted and you would like service reinstated please do the following: (a) if you are using the REST API, make a call to the account/rate_limit_status from the account or computer in question; (b) explain why you think your Custom Network was blacklisted and (c) describe how you have fixed the problem that resulted in blacklisting. Send that information in an email to our support email so we can get you back online.
13. Other Content.
13.1 The HasOffers™ Platform and this website may contain links to third party sites. These websites are not under the control of HasOffers™ and HasOffers™ is not responsible for the content or availability of any linked website.

You acknowledge and agree that HasOffers™ is not liable for any loss or damage which may be incurred by you as a result of the availability of those external sites or resources, or as a result of any reliance placed by you on the completeness, accuracy or existence of any advertising, products or other materials on, or available from, such web sites or resources.
13.2 Sometimes when you use the HasOffers™ Platform, you may (as a result of, or through your use of, the services) use a service or download a piece of software, or purchase goods, which are provided by another person or company. Your use of these other services, software, or goods may be subject to separate terms between you and the company or person concerned.

22. Force Majeure.
Both parties agree that neither party will be liable, or be considered to be in breach of the Agreement, on account of either party’s delay, or failure (other than for payment obligations arising hereunder), to perform as required under the terms of the Agreement as a result of any causes or conditions that are beyond either party’s reasonable control and such party is unable to overcome through the exercise of commercially reasonable diligence (a “Force Majeure Event”).

Nothing contained in the Agreement shall be construed to limit any legal remedies available to HasOffers™.
26.3 The Parties expressly agree that the relationship between them under this Agreement is that of two principles dealing with eachother as independent companies subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at no time, past, present or future, shall the relationship of the parties be deemed, nor is anything in this Agreement intended to constitute an agency, partnership, joint venture, franchise, sales representative or employment relationship.
