(“Media Company”) and the person or company registered with Media Company to provide promotional services as set forth in this Agreement (“Advertiser”) for the mutual promises contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged.  (singularly “Party” and combined “Parties”) This Agreement and any accompanying and subsequent Insertion Order(s) (“IO(s)”), if provided, shall define Media Company and Advertiser’s obligations with respect to Media Company’s posting of Advertising Content on Advertiser’s behalf (“Campaigns”).  Each IO and/or Campaign submitted by Advertiser shall incorporate this Agreement and each shall be considered a single contractual agreement.  In the event of a conflict between any term of an IO and this Agreement, the IO shall govern.  Any change is effective only as to the Campaign identified in the IO. Each IO submitted by Client shall incorporate this Agreement without further reference.  In the event that Media Company is required to digitally sign or agree to additional terms during the provision of Services on behalf of Advertiser, both Parties agree that such digital agreement is inconsequential and in no way binding, that it is the result of a technical requirement, which cannot quickly be altered.  Therefore, any terms which appear on any website or platform shall be disregarded and deemed ineffective, being superseded by this Agreement.

1.3 Cancellation of Campaign.  Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, Media Company expressly reserves the right to: (i) reject or cancel any Campaign for any reason at any time; (ii) refuse  or cancel any Advertising Content for any reason at any time; including but not limited to such Advertising Content that, in its reasonable discretion, violates an applicable law, rule or regulation governing the same or which is reasonably believed to be an invasion  privacy, degrading, libelous,  profane, obscene, pornographic, tend to ridicule or embarrass, are in bad taste, or which infringes on a trademark, trade name, or copyright belonging to others, or is otherwise inappropriate.  All Campaigns are subject to capacity limitations which include software, hardware, bandwidth, inventory availability, payment terms, credit history, creative performance, and market pricing limitations. Any Campaign rejected or cancelled by Media Company may be replaced by Advertiser provided that any such replacement material must be acceptable to Media Company and accompanied by written request for replacement which identifies the Campaign to be replaced.

3.1 Tracking.  Conversions, sales, leads, and/or clicks (“User Actions”) shall be tracked by both parties.  Media Company shall have the right to place a tracking pixel on Advertiser’s website, as may be required to track and provide estimated periodic statistics for Media Company or its publishers and affiliates.  In the event of a dispute between Advertiser’s tracking (if any) and Media Company tracking, a detailed report will be exchanged between the parties including details of each User Action for tracking purposes. Unless disputed, Media Company tracking count shall be used for invoicing purposes under this Agreement.  The technical specifications of Advertiser’s tracking system must be met to the reasonable satisfaction of Media Company before any advertising or ad-serving will be provided by Media Company.  Upon request, Media Company shall provide a login where Advertiser can retrieve summary reports reflecting the number of units delivered and/or Media Company shall have reports submitted to Advertiser in a manner and method as agreed upon by and between the Parties.  Media Company, in its reasonable discretion and in consultation with Advertiser, will determine the form of said reports. If Advertiser removes or manipulates the tracking code at any time during the Campaign, without express written permission from Media Company, Media Company may suspend performance and, if applicable, Advertiser agrees to pay Media Company for the days during which tracking code was absent or manipulated based on the average daily conversion measurements (using daily click counts and/or conversions for the seven (7) days prior to the tracking code being removed or manipulated).  In the event that a Campaign is suspended or cancelled at any time while the campaign is active, Advertiser agrees to pay for all conversions, sales, leads, and/or clicks generated from the campaign for a period of thirty (30) days following said suspension or cancellation unless otherwise agreed upon.

3.2 Invoicing and Payments.  The applicable IO for each Campaign shall specify the price and payment terms.  As set forth the in the applicable IO or no later than once every thirty (30) days, Media Company will send Advertiser an invoice.  The invoice is the only report to be construed as representative of billable amounts.  All IO’s are subject to ten percent (10%) over-delivery for which Media Company shall be paid.  Advertiser shall retain books and records pertaining to the Units delivered and other data necessary to compute the charges hereunder for at least one (1) year after the conclusion of each Campaign.  Media Company, its agent or designee shall have the right to audit such books and records upon reasonable notice. If the audit reveals an underpayment, Advertiser shall promptly pay to Media Company such underpayment along with past due interest from the time originally due until paid.  If the amount of the underpayment is more than five percent (5%), Advertiser shall also be obligated to pay to Media Company its reasonable audit expenses.  All payments must be in U.S. dollars.  Advertiser agrees that all refunds will be resolved through wired funds, check or reversal of credit charges.  In the absence of a corresponding IO for any given campaign, payment shall be due to Media Company within fifteen (15) days of receipt of each and every invoice.  Any late payments, including any underpayment found from any audit will accrue interest equal to one and a half percent (1.5%) per month, or the maximum amount allowable under law, whichever is less, compounded monthly.  

3.3 Disputed Invoice.  In the event that Advertiser disputes an invoice, Advertiser shall timely pay all undisputed amounts in the invoice and provide Media Company written notification of such disputed which shall attach all supporting documentation therefore, within three (3) days from the date of the invoice.  If Media Company does not receive the written notice of dispute within three days of the date of the invoice, the parties agree that invoice will be deemed valid and payable and may not thereafter be disputed.  

3.4 Collections. In the event that Media Company incurs expenses related to collection of any outstanding balance and/or late fees, Advertiser shall immediately pay Media Company reasonable expenses associated with said collection, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s and collection agency’s fees.  Media Company, in its sole discretion, may remove the Advertising Content and/or terminate this Agreement immediately if Advertiser fails to pay any amount due hereunder.

4.1 Exclusive Campaigns.  If the IO identifies the Campaign for exclusive distribution, Advertiser shall not, without the prior written consent of Media Company, engage in or be involved with advertising, marketing or distributing of any products subject to the exclusive campaign on the world wide web, for a period commencing on the date of the IO and ending six (6) months following written termination of the Campaign. Advertiser acknowledges and agrees to the following: (i) the time restrictions in this Section 4 are reasonable; (ii) the restrictions imposed by this Section 4 will not impair Advertiser’s ability to promote and further its business model; and (iii) monetary damages would be insufficient in the event of a breach of this covenant of exclusivity.
