By registering for or participating in CAP, you agree to comply with and be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If you do not agree with this Agreement or any of its terms, do not register or participate in CAP.
CAP permits you to monetize your website, social media user-generated content, mass marketing emails, and/or online software applications (herein referred to as your “Site”), by placing on your Site your Fronptoint-provided unique QR Code, URL and/or Referral Code (“Your Links”) in accordance herewith. To facilitate your advertisement of Frontpoint’s products and services, we will make available to you images, text, links, intellectual property and marketing content (collectively, “Program Content”). When eligible customers use Your Links to purchase Frontpoint’s products and/or services, you are eligible receive commissions for qualifying purchases as set forth herein.
1. Commissions
Your Links enable our accurate tracking, reporting, and accrual of commissions. Commissions will be paid on a weekly basis for qualifying purchases that are deemed by us to be a Qualified Action. A “Qualified Action” is when a Lead directly results in having a new Frontpoint customer (a) complete and sign all required customer agreements for a monitoring commitment (b) confirmed as the resident of the location to be monitored, (c) pays all monies due and payable for the initial order, and (d) whose electronic security system is completely installed in the U.S. or Canada (excluding Quebec) and has been activated with Frontpoint for at least 30 days. A “Lead” is when a Promotional Activity (defined below) by you generates a user inquiry from a prospective Frontpoint customer residing in the U.S. or Canada (excluding Quebec) and does not duplicate any Frontpoint pre-existing lead. All determinations concerning a Lead and a Qualifying Action will be made by Frontpoint in its sole discretion. A chargeback will be applied for any paid Qualifying Action that results in a customer canceling or providing notice to cancel service within 90 days from the date of sale. Frontpoint may, at its option, apply such chargeback against other amounts due to you. You will be responsible for all taxes levied on the commission paid hereunder. All payments are contingent on you complying with the terms of this Agreement. Frontpoint shall pay commissions within 15 calendar days of each monthly invoice in U.S. dollars by electronic funds transfer, or by any other method agreed to by the parties in writing.
Our customers are not, by virtue of your participation in CAP, your customers. You will not handle or address any contacts with any of our customers, and, if contacted by any of our customers for a matter relating to Frontpoint’s products or services, you will direct them to Frontpoint.

This Agreement, including the interpretation, validity, enforceability and construction of this Agreement, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without reference to its choice of law principles. YOU AGREE THAT ANY AND ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES IN ANY WAY RELATED TO OR CONCERNING THIS AGREEMENT AND CAP WILL BE RESOLVED BY BINDING ARBITRATION OR IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT.
The American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) will arbitrate all claims and disputes in accordance with the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules (“Consumer Rules”) available at www.adr.org/consumer. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the Consumer Rules, this Agreement will govern.

We agree that the arbitration will be confidential. YOU AGREE THAT ANY PROCEEDINGS, WHETHER IN ARBITRATION OR SMALL CLAIMS COURT, WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY OR AS A MEMBER IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. IN ADDITION, CLAIMS BROUGHT BY OR AGAINST FRONTPOINT MAY NOT BE JOINED OR CONSOLIDATED IN THE ARBITRATION OR OTHER PROCEEDING WITH CLAIMS BROUGHT BY OR AGAINST ANY OTHER PROGRAM PARTICIPANT, UNLESS OTHERWISE AGREED BY THE PARTIES.
Unless prohibited by applicable law, all claims, actions or proceedings by or against Frontpoint must be commenced within one (1) year after the cause of action has accrued, without judicial extension of time, or said claim, action or proceeding is barred. The provisions of this Agreement that apply to any claim, action or proceeding shall remain in effect even after this Agreement ends. UNLESS PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE PARTIES WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION BETWEEN THEM.
Whenever used in this Agreement, the terms “include(s)", “including”, and “for example” are used and intended without limitation. This Agreement is the entire agreement between you and us regarding CAP and supersedes all prior agreements and discussions. You acknowledge and agree that our failure to enforce your strict performance of any provision of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of our right to subsequently enforce such provision or any other provision of this Agreement. You may not assign this Agreement without our prior written approval. Subject to that restriction, this Agreement will be binding on, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable against the parties and their respective successors and assigns.
Any information relating to Frontpoint or any of its affiliates that we provide or make accessible to you in connection with CAP that is not known to the general public or that reasonably should be considered to be confidential is Frontpoint’s “Confidential Information” and will remain Frontpoint’s exclusive property. You will use Confidential Information only to the extent reasonably necessary for your performance under this Agreement and ensure that all persons or entities who have access to Confidential Information in connection with your account will be made aware of and will comply with the obligations in this provision. You will not disclose Confidential Information to any third party (other than your affiliates bound by confidentiality obligations) and you will take all reasonable measures to protect the Confidential Information against any use or disclosure that is not expressly permitted in this Agreement. This restriction will be in addition to the terms of any confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement between the parties and will apply for the term of the Agreement and 5 years after termination.
You and we are independent contractors, and nothing in this Agreement will create any partnership, joint venture, agency, franchise, sales representative, or employment relationship between you and us or our respective affiliates.

If you authorize, assist, encourage, or facilitate another person or entity to take any action related to the subject matter of this Agreement, you will be deemed to have taken the action yourself.
We reserve the right to modify any of the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement at any time and in our sole discretion by posting a change notice or revised Agreement or by sending notice of such modification to you by email. YOUR CONTINUED PARTICIPATION IN CAP FOLLOWING THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF SUCH CHANGE WILL CONSTITUTE YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THE MODIFICATIONS.

These CAP trademark guidelines (these “Guidelines”) apply to the use of the marks we may make available to you as part of Program Content (the “Marks”). Strict compliance with these Guidelines is required at all times, and any use of the Marks in violation of these Guidelines will automatically terminate your participation in CAP.
YOU ARE PERMITTED TO USE THE MARKS ONLY IN CONNECTION WITH CAP
You may not use or display the Marks (i) in any manner that implies sponsorship or endorsement by us; (ii) to disparage us, our products or services; or (iii) in a way that may, at our discretion, diminish or otherwise damage our goodwill in the Marks. You may not alter any Mark in any manner. Each Mark must appear by itself, in its entirety, with reasonable spacing between each side of the Mark and other visual, graphic, or textual elements. No Mark may be placed on any background that interferes with the readability or display of that Mark.
All rights to each of the Marks are our exclusive property, and all goodwill generated through your use of any Mark will inure to our exclusive benefit. You will not take any action that conflicts with our rights in, or ownership of, any Mark. You cannot use or apply to register any trademark, domain name, subdomain or app name that is confusingly similar to any Mark in any jurisdiction.
