including fraudulent clicks, unauthorized data pulls, or misuse of the Affiliate
Portal. Archer Affiliates may suspend or terminate any Brand for breach or

calculations, performance metrics, and audits.
5.3. Any dispute regarding invoiced data must be submitted in writing within seven (7)
days of the invoice date, accompanied by evidence of the dispute's validity.

9. No Waiver
9.1. No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right, power, or remedy under

preceding the claim.
11.2. The Brand shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Archer Affiliates and its
