Nothing in these Terms and Conditions creates or will create any partnership, employment, representative, agency, or joint venture relationship between the parties.  At no time does the Affiliate have authority to act on ACR’s behalf. 
    • Limitation of Liability – The Affiliate Program is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis and the use of the Affiliate Program is at the Affiliate’s own risk. ACR makes no representations or warranties, either expressed or implied, with respect to the Affiliate Program, or any service or information provided through the Affiliate Program. 

    ACR is not responsible for any damages, injury, or economic loss arising from the use of or participation in the Affiliate Program.

    If any modification is unacceptable to the Affiliate, its sole recourse shall be to terminate its participation in the Affiliate Program.  The Affiliate’s continued participation in the Affiliate Program will constitute binding acceptance of such modifications. 

    • Miscellaneous – The Affiliate warrants and represents that it is over the age of 18 and is qualified to participate in the Affiliate Program and abide by the Terms and Conditions. 

    The Affiliate warrants and represents that its actions and its participation in the Affiliate Program is in compliance with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, and any requirements of governmental authority at all times.
