Inhost shall have the sole right and responsibility for processing all orders made by Customers. You acknowledge that all agreements relating to sales to Customers shall be between Inhost and the Customer. Customers who buy products through this Program will be deemed to be Customers of Inhost. Accordingly, all Inhost rules, policies, and operating procedures concerning customer orders and returns, customer service, customer data, and product sales will apply to those Customers.

For example, we will determine the prices to be charged for products sold under this Program in accordance with our own pricing policies. Product prices and availability may vary from time to time. Because price changes may affect Products that you already have listed on your Site, you may not include price information in your Product descriptions. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to present accurate information, but we cannot guarantee the availability or price of any particular Product.

All determinations of Qualifying Links and whether a referral fee is payable will be made by Inhost and will be binding.
For unresolved credit issues needing review, orders will need to be submitted to your current Inhost contact or to Affiliate@Inhost.com within 90 days of the transaction date.
