For OBP, ACS shall provide Grantee seventy-five (75) tokens (“Tokens”) for the year 2022. Grantee acknowledges and agrees that Tokens have no redeemable monetary value. For clarity, in the event of OBP termination, unused Tokens will not be refunded as a sales credit or otherwise. Tokens expire 24 months after they have been granted. Notwithstanding, Tokens may be used solely in the calendar year for which they were issued. For example, any unused Tokens left at the end of 2022 remain viable through 2023 but must be used retroactively for an article accepted in 2022. Tokens cannot be used for articles accepted before 1.1.2022. |
