Metana is owned and operated by Edmore (Private) Limited.

Acceptance of Terms

Users of the Services (“Affiliates” or “you”) include individuals and entities who apply to or participate in the Program. This Agreement applies to all Affiliates. By applying to the Program, creating an affiliate account, or using the Services, you acknowledge and agree to comply with this Agreement and our Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”), available at https://metana.io/privacy-policy/, which is incorporated into this Agreement by reference.

We may modify this Agreement from time to time by posting an updated Agreement on the Site with the updated date next to “Date of Publication.” We will provide notice of material changes by emailing you or notifying you upon login, at our discretion. Material changes will be notified via email at least 14 days in advance, and you may terminate this Agreement within the 14-day notice period if you disagree with the changes. Once changes are posted or made available, they become effective immediately, and your continued use of the Services signifies your agreement to be bound by such changes. Please review this Agreement regularly to stay informed of your rights and obligations.

Intellectual Property

The content available through the Services, excluding User Content or Third-Party Content, includes but is not limited to text, software, graphics, logos, and interactive features (“Content”). Certain names, logos, design marks, trademarks, and service marks displayed through the Services (“Marks”) are owned by Metana, its affiliates, or licensors and are protected by U.S. and international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

Unless explicitly authorized by this Agreement, you agree not to copy, download, upload, publish, modify, reverse engineer, or exploit the Services, Content, or Marks for any purpose. The Services are for your personal, non-commercial use in connection with the Program, and you must not remove or alter any copyright, trademark, or proprietary notices.

User Content

The Services may allow Affiliates to post, share, or submit comments, messages, or other materials (“User Content”), which may be accessible to other users. By submitting User Content, you grant Metana, its affiliates, successors, and assigns a non-exclusive, fully-paid, royalty-free, transferable, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide license to use, display, distribute, reproduce, edit, modify, and create derivative works from your User Content in any medium for any purpose.

You agree that you have no expectation of privacy or confidentiality in User Content and that no confidential or fiduciary relationship is created by submitting User Content. You are solely responsible for your User Content and represent and warrant that it does not infringe any third-party rights or violate applicable laws. Metana reserves the right to review, pre-screen, or remove User Content for any reason, including non-compliance with this Agreement, but assumes no obligation to do so.

You may not submit User Content that is unlawful, harmful, abusive, defamatory, obscene, or otherwise objectionable, or that contains viruses or other harmful code.

Third-Party Services

The Services may integrate third-party features, such as payment processors or analytics tools (“Third-Party Services”). By using such features, you agree that Metana may transmit relevant information to these Third-Party Services, as outlined in our Privacy Policy. Links to Third-Party Services do not constitute an endorsement by Metana, and we are not responsible for their content, practices, or privacy policies. Your interactions with Third-Party Services are at your own risk.

Metana Communications

The Services may allow you to post messages or communicate with Metana or other Affiliates. All such communications are considered User Content and are subject to this Agreement. Communications are public, not private, and are not pre-screened by Metana, though we reserve the right to monitor or remove them.

Registered Affiliates consent to receive notices, including emails and in-Site messages, related to their Affiliate Account and the Program. You may opt out of promotional emails by following unsubscribe instructions, but you cannot opt out of administrative or transactional notices (e.g., account updates). Electronic notices satisfy any legal requirement for written communication. To withdraw consent for electronic notices, email [email protected] and provide a current mailing address.

Modifications to Services

Metana reserves the right to modify or discontinue the Services at any time, with or without notice, provided such actions are taken reasonably and in good faith. If the Program is discontinued, Metana will honor obligations for valid referrals made prior to discontinuation, as outlined in Section 4, subject to the termination provisions in Section 5. Metana shall not be liable for any resulting changes or disruptions.

Monitoring of the Services

Metana assumes no responsibility for monitoring the Services for inappropriate content or conduct but reserves the right to review, remove, or edit User Content at its sole discretion. Metana may access, preserve, or disclose your Affiliate Account information if required by law or to enforce this Agreement, respond to claims, or protect Metana’s rights, property, or safety.

You may be liable for damages if you misrepresent infringement claims.

Indemnity

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold Metana, its affiliates, and their respective successors, directors, officers, employees, agents, licensors, advertisers, suppliers, and service providers harmless from any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from your use of the Services, breach of this Agreement, or User Content. Metana may assume control of any matter subject to indemnification, and you agree to cooperate fully.

Disclaimer of Warranties; Limitation of Liability

The Services are provided “as is” and “as available,” without any warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. Metana does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of the Services or any content, nor their availability or performance. You assume all risks related to the quality, accuracy, security, and validity of the Services.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Metana, its affiliates, and their respective successors, officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, advertisers, and suppliers shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Services or this Agreement. Metana’s liability, if any, shall be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

Some jurisdictions may not allow certain warranty exclusions or liability limitations, so these may not apply to you.

Limitation on Time to File Claims

Any action arising out of this Agreement or the Services must be brought within one year after the cause of action arises, or it will be barred.

Geographic Restrictions

The Services are controlled and operated by Metana from the United States. The Program is open to Affiliates in countries where the Services are legally accessible, and you are responsible for ensuring compliance with local laws. Metana makes no representation that the Services are appropriate or available in all jurisdictions. You access the Services at your own risk.

General

1. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in effect, and the Agreement shall be amended to be legal, valid, and enforceable. The terms “include,” “includes,” and “including” mean “include, but are not limited to,” and are inclusive.
2. Metana’s failure to enforce any right or provision shall not constitute a waiver. This Agreement may not be assigned by you but may be assigned by Metana, provided the assignee assumes all obligations under this Agreement.
3. All matters related to the Services and this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of law principles. Disputes shall first be addressed through non-binding mediation in San Francisco, California. If unresolved, to the extent permitted by local law, disputes will proceed to binding arbitration in San Francisco, California, which will be conducted virtually by default for efficiency and accessibility. Affiliates may request in-person arbitration, which Metana will consider in good faith based on the Affiliate’s circumstances (e.g., location, accessibility needs), subject to mutual agreement and local law. Any legal action shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts of San Francisco, California.
4. Disputes over the interpretation of “reasonable and good faith” standards in this Agreement shall be resolved through the mediation and arbitration process outlined in Section
