5.2 Quality Control & Approvals. KAST may require pre-approval for any use of Brand Assets and for events, materials, or campaigns (including slides, scripts, posts, images, videos, giveaways). You will promptly make any edits KAST requests. KAST’s failure to review or object is not approval.

5.3 Standards of Conduct.

Comply with platform rules and any applicable advertising disclosure requirements (e.g., #ad, #sponsored, “paid partnership”).

If in doubt, do not promote until KAST confirms.

5.7 Handles, Domains, and Usernames.

5.9 Monitoring; Takedowns; Edits. KAST may monitor your public materials and activities. KAST may require you to edit, correct, label, or remove any content or suspend any activity that is inaccurate, non-compliant, infringes rights, or poses legal, operational, or reputational risk. You will comply promptly and confirm completion.

5.10 Records & Cooperation. On request, you will provide copies, links, screenshots, metrics, and attendance data evidencing your activities; cooperate with KAST in any legal, regulatory, or brand-protection inquiry; and promptly implement any remedial instructions KAST issues.

6.6 Tools, AI, and Materials. If you use third-party tools, datasets, generative AI, stock libraries, or open-source materials, you are responsible for ensuring the resulting rights permit KAST’s license in 6.2 and do not impose copyleft, attribution, or usage restrictions that would limit KAST’s intended use.

14.2 Changes to Terms & Program. KAST may update, revise, or replace these Terms and may modify, suspend, or terminate the Program (in whole or part) at any time, without prior notice. Changes are effective when posted at [insert canonical URL] or otherwise communicated. You must review the then-current Terms periodically. Your continued participation after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.

14.3 Entire Agreement; Order of Precedence. These Terms (including documents referenced by URL, such as the Brand Guidelines, Restricted Markets list, Points Policy, Card Terms, and Privacy Notice) together with your Participation Notice constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings regarding the Program. In case of conflict: (1) these Terms prevail; (2) then the Participation Notice; (3) then FAQs/guidelines.

14.4 Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid or unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

14.5 No Waiver. A failure or delay by KAST to exercise any right or remedy does not constitute a waiver. A waiver must be in writing and is effective only for the specific instance and purpose given.

14.6 Force Majeure. KAST will not be liable for delay or failure to perform due to events beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, epidemic/pandemic, labor disputes, governmental actions, war, terrorism, civil disorder, utility or telecommunications failures, or third-party platform outages.
