HOTZIPPY LLC PRE-QUALIFICATION ADDENDUM

PLEASE READ THIS PRE-QUALIFICATION ADDENDUM (“PRE-QUALIFICATION AGREEMENT”) CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE PRE-QUALIFICATION SERVICE OFFERED BY HOTZIPPY LLC (“COMPANY”). BY OPTING IN BY SUBMITTING THE PRE-QUALIFICATION SUBMISSION FORM, OR BY OPTING IN THROUGH ANY OTHER MEANS, YOU AGREE TO BECOME BOUND BY THE PRE-QUALIFICATION ADDENDUM TO HOTZIPPY LLC’S ADVERTISER TERMS AND CONDITIONS.

 
  1. DESCRIPTION OF PRE-QUALIFICATION SERVICE

The Company offers to authors, publishers, and agencies (collectively "Advertisers") the option to submit a query to Company's support and/or editorial staff by means of the HotZippy LLC Pre-Qualification Form for the purposes of judging an Advertiser's book eligible for editorial acceptance prior to submitting a paid or unpaid promotional submission. This service is free to Advertisers and can take between 7 and 14 business days from the Company's receipt of pre-qualification submission, depending on available Company resources. The result of the pre-qualification service will be emailed to Advertiser at the email address provided when submitting the HotZippy LLC Pre-Qualification Form from Company's support email address (support@hotzippy.net). Company is not liable or accountable in any way for lost email pre-qualification results or the inability to send such an email if Advertiser's email server declines to accept the emailed results.

The pre-qualification results will include positive or negative results, depending upon the Company's findings. Negative results may or may not, at the Company's sole discretion, contain a specific reason for the non-qualification of Advertiser's book. Positive results will contain which of HotZippy's promotional book sites, Bargain eBook Hunter (http://bargainebookhunter.com), Pixelscroll (http://pixelscroll.com), Romance eBook Deals (http://romanceebookdeals.com), or 13 Horror Street (http://13horrorstreet.com) (collectively "Sites") the book has been pre-qualified for and what, if any restrictions or stipulations may be required for full editorial acceptance at the time of promotional submission by the Advertiser. Failure to comply with any such stipulations or restrictions will result in the rejection of Advertiser's promotional submission.

  1. SERVICE RESTRICTIONS AND LIMITATIONS

Pre-qualification approval is specifically for the book submitted and is not transferable to any of the Advertiser's other books, if any exists. Pre-qualification approval is specifically for the book submitted at the time it was approved. Any changes to the book after approval may render previous approval officially withdrawn. Company is not responsible for any damages, perceived or real, for denying the editorial acceptance of any title that was previously approved but has undergone changes since that approval. Company reserves the right, at its sole discretion and at any time to modify a Site's submission rules, even if such a modification renders a previously pre-approved book no longer eligible. Advertiser understands and agrees that a positive pre-qualification result in no way constitutes any form of warranty or guarantee that an advertisement for a pre-qualified book will lead to any sales, change of book’s rank on any store or an increase in downloaded content—Company has no control over what its Communities choose to download or purchase. Company, at its sole discretion, may at any time revoke any form of previous editorial approval for any reason. Advertiser agrees to submit only truthful material through the HotZippy LLC Pre-Qualification Form. Advertiser agrees that no warranty or guarantee is issued by Company through use of this free service.

Nothing contained in the Agreement shall be deemed to constitute either party a partner, joint venture or employee of the other party for any purpose.

  1. SEVERABILITY

If any provision of the Agreement is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions of the Agreement will remain enforceable, and the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed modified so that it is valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law.

  1. INTEGRATION

This Agreement expresses the complete understanding of the Company and Advertiser with respect to the Pre-Qualification Service.

  1. MODIFICATION OF AGREEMENT

Company may change this Agreement from time to time. When changes are made, the Company will make a new copy of the Agreement at the Author Portal. We will also update the "Last Updated" date at the bottom of the HotZippy LLC Pre-Qualification Addendum. Any changes to the Agreement will become effective when posted on the Author Portal. If you object to any such changes, your sole recourse will be to cease using the Pre-Qualification Service. Otherwise your continued use of the Pre-Qualification Service following the posting of any such changes will indicate your acknowledgement of such changes and your agreement to be bound by the revised Agreement, inclusive of such changes.

  1. WAIVER

The failure to exercise any right provided in the Agreement shall not be a waiver of prior or subsequent rights.

  1. DAMAGES

Violations of this Agreement which result in the purposeful injury to Company's reputation or which result in purposeful financial loss to Company will be reviewed by Company's Legal Dept. or by any third-party legal representative hired by Company. Reparations to Company of damages due to violations of this Agreement by Advertiser can and may be sought through any legal means available to Company, including but not limited to, civil lawsuits.
