In certain circumstances, ClickBank may require You to modify Your Products prior to being approved or prohibit Your Products from being sold via the ClickBank Services, in ClickBank's sole discretion.

Without further conditions or limitations, You authorize ClickBank to list any Product You register for sale via the ClickBank Services in the online, searchable marketplace of Products made available via the ClickBank Services (the "ClickBank Marketplace"); and make it available for sale to Purchasers and/or for the persons and/or entities that Promote the Products made available via the ClickBank Marketplace ("Affiliates") at the price solely determined by ClickBank ("Retail Price") after taking into consideration Your suggestions regarding such Retail Price, including any applicable sales tax.

Where ClickBank does not collect and remit state or local transfer taxes on a transaction, You may have the legal obligation to pay such taxes. Such obligation may arise as a result of Your existing or past physical contacts with a state (including but not limited to Your provision of a "drop ship" delivery of the physical Product to a buyer located in a state). You may wish to consult a tax professional to determine if You will have this type of obligation in any particular state. You agree that if such an obligation arises with respect to any particular state, You will be solely responsible for the timely payment of such tax and any interest or penalties.

k. You will establish an appropriate return, replacement and/or cancellation policy for Your Products ("Seller Return Policy"). Your Seller Return Policy must fall within the range of "no refunds" to allowing refunds or replacements up to sixty (60) days after the date of purchase (i.e., a 30-day refund policy or a 45-day refund policy would each be acceptable, if appropriate). If You believe that a Seller Return Policy longer than sixty (60) days after the date of purchase is appropriate for Your Products, ClickBank will review such a request, and in its sole discretion, may allow an extended Seller Return Policy. You can only provide such an extended Seller Return Policy with ClickBank's written consent.
l. You will ensure that the Seller Return Policy is clearly and conspicuously posted for customers to review prior to purchasing Your Products.
