- Order Details. From time to time, Media Company and Agency may execute Orders that will be accepted as set forth in Section I(b). As applicable, each Order will specify: (i) the type(s) and quantity of Deliverables, (ii) the price(s) for such Deliverables, (iv) the start and end dates of the Deliverables, and if applicable (v) the identity of and contact information for any Third Party Ad Server.
- Availability; Acceptance. Media Company will make commercially reasonable efforts to notify Agency within two (2) business days of receipt of an Order signed by Agency if the specified inventory is not available. Acceptance of the Order and these Terms will be deemed the earlier of (i) written (which, unless otherwise specified, for purposes of these Terms, will include electronic communication) approval of the Order by Media Company and Agency, or (ii) the display of the first Ad by Media Company, unless otherwise agreed on the Order. Notwithstanding the foregoing, modifications to the originally submitted Order will not be binding unless approved by both Media Company and Agency.
- Revisions. Revisions and modifications to accepted Orders will be made in writing and acknowledged by both Media Agency and Agency (the “Parties”).
Ⅱ. AD PLACEMENT AND POSITIONING
- Compliance with Order. Media Company will comply with the Order, including all Ad placement restrictions, and, except as set forth in Section VI(c), will create a reasonably balanced delivery schedule. Media Company will provide, within the scope of the Order, an Ad to the Site specified on the Order when such Site is visited by an Internet user.
- Changes to Site. Media Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Agency at least 10 calendar days prior notification of any material changes to the Site that would materially change the target audience or materially affect the size or placement of the Ad specified on the applicable Order. Should such a modification occur with or without notice, as Agency’s and Advertiser’s sole remedy for such change, Agency may cancel the remainder of the affected placement without penalty within the 10-day notice period. If Media Company has failed to provide such notification, Agency may cancel the remainder of the affected placement within 30 days of such modification and, in such case, will not be charged for any affected Ads delivered after such modification.
- Technical Specifications. Media Company will submit or otherwise make electronically accessible to Agency technical specifications within two (2) business days of the acceptance of an Order. Changes by Media Company to the specifications of already-purchased Ads after that two (2) business day period will allow Advertiser to suspend delivery of the affected Ad for a reasonable time (without impacting the end date) in order to (i) send revised Advertising Materials; (ii) request that Media Company resize the Ad; (iii) or accept a comparable replacement.
- Editorial Adjacencies. Media Company acknowledges that certain Advertisers may not want their Ads placed adjacent to content that promotes pornography, violence, or the use of firearms, contains obscene language, or falls within another category stated on the Order (“Editorial Adjacency Guidelines”). Media Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with the Editorial Adjacency Guidelines with respect to Ads that appear on Media Company Properties, although Media Company will at all times retain editorial control over the Media Company Properties. For Ads shown on Network Properties, Media Company and Agency agree that Media Company’s sole responsibilities with respect to compliance with these Editorial Adjacency Guidelines will be to obtain contractual representations from its participating network publishers that such publishers will comply with Editorial Adjacency Guidelines on all Network Properties and to provide the remedy specified below to Agency with respect to violations of Editorial Adjacency Guidelines on Network Properties. Should Ads appear in violation of the Editorial Adjacency Guidelines, Advertiser’s sole and exclusive remedy is to request in writing that Media Company remove the Ads and provide makegoods or, if no makegood can be agreed upon, or issue a credit to Advertiser equal to the value of such Ads. In cases where a makegood and a credit can be shown to be commercially infeasible for the Advertiser, Agency and Media Company will negotiate an alternate solution. After Agency notifies Media Company that specific Ads are in violation of the Editorial Adjacency Guidelines, Media Company will make commercially reasonable efforts to correct such violation within 48 hours. If such correction materially and adversely impacts such Order, Agency and Media Company will negotiate in good faith mutually agreed changes to such Order to address such impacts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Agency and Advertiser each acknowledge and agree that no Advertiser will be entitled to any remedy for any violation of the Editorial Adjacency Guidelines resulting from: (i) Ads placed at locations other than the Sites, or (ii) Ads displayed on properties that Agency or Advertiser is aware, or should be aware, may contain content in potential violation of the Editorial Adjacency Guidelines.For any page on the Site that primarily consists of user-generated content, the preceding paragraph will not apply. Instead, Media Company will make commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that Ads are not placed adjacent to content that violates the Site’s terms of use. Advertiser’s and Agency’s sole remedy for Media Company’s breach of such obligation will be to submit written complaints to Media Company, which will review such complaints and remove user-generated content that Media Company, in its sole discretion, determines is objectionable or in violation of such Site’s terms of use.
PAYMENT, TERM AND PAYMENT LIABILITY
- Invoices.Invoices are sent upon Order Acceptance and due on receipt. Quarterly or recurring orders are billed or automatically charged on the first day upon expiration of the initial term and each subsequent term.
- Payment Date. Agency will make payment within ten (10) calendar days from its receipt of invoice, or as otherwise stated in a payment schedule set forth on the Order. Media Company may notify Agency that it has not received payment in such 10-day period and charge 0.2% interest fee for each day of delinquency (6% per month).

- Agency and Advertiser Relationship. Agency will make available to Media Company written confirmation of the relationship between Agency and Advertiser. This confirmation should include, for example, Advertiser’s acknowledgement that Agency is its agent and is authorized to act on its behalf in connection with the Order and these Terms.
CANCELLATION AND TERMINATION
- Without Cause. One-time flat feebased or fixed-placement Programs can be cancelled with 14 days prior written notice; however, no credit nor refund shall apply. For recurring, subscription based programs (i.e. quarterly), written cancellation notice shall be provided at least 30 calendar prior to the renewal date to stop recurring subscriptions. Advertiser will remain liable to Media Company for amounts due for the remainder of each, then-current subscription and any custom content or development (“Custom Material”) provided to Advertiser or completed by Media Company or its third-party vendor prior to the effective date of termination. Advertiser will pay for such Custom Material within 7 days from receiving an invoice therefore.
- For Cause. Either Media Company or Agency may terminate an Order at any time if the other party is in material breach of its obligations hereunder, which breach is not cured within 10 days after receipt of written notice thereof from the non-breaching party, except as otherwise stated in these Terms with regard to specific breaches. Additionally, if Agency or Advertiser breaches its obligations by violating the same Policy three times (and such Policy was provided to Agency or Advertiser) and receives timely notice of each such breach, even if Agency or Advertiser cures such breaches, then Media Company may terminate the Order or placements associated with such breach upon written notice. If Agency or Advertiser does not cure a violation of a Policy within the applicable 10-day cure period after written notice, where such Policy had been provided by Media Company to Agency, then Media Company may terminate the Order and/or placements associated with such breach upon written notice and Advertiser shall be responsible for the full payment of the Order.
V. FORCE MAJEURE
- Generally. Excluding payment obligations, neither Agency nor Media Company will be liable for delay or default in the performance of its respective obligations under these Terms if such delay or default is caused by conditions beyond its reasonable control, including, but not limited to, fire, flood, accident, earthquakes, telecommunications line failures, electrical outages, network failures, acts of God, or labor disputes (“Force Majeure event”). If Media Company suffers such a delay or default, Media Company will make reasonable efforts within five (5) business days to recommend a substitute transmission for the Ad or time period for the transmission.

Media Company and Agency will negotiate a resolution if Media Company has received all required Advertising Materials but fails to commence a campaign on the Order start date.
- Compliance. Media Company reserves the right within its discretion to reject or remove from its Site any Ads for which the Advertising Materials, software code associated with the Advertising Materials (e.g. pixels, tags, JavaScript), or the website to which the Ad is linked do not comply with its Policies, or that in Media Company’s sole reasonable judgment, do not comply with any applicable law, regulation, or other judicial or administrative order. In addition, Media Company reserves the right within its discretion to reject or remove from its Site any Ads for which the Advertising Materials or the website to which the Ad is linked are, or may tend to bring, disparagement, ridicule, or scorn upon Media Company or any of its Affiliates (as defined below), provided that if Media Company has reviewed and approved such Ads prior to their use on the Site, Media Company will not immediately remove such Ads before making commercially reasonable efforts to acquire mutually acceptable alternative Advertising Materials from Agency.
- Damaged Creative. If Advertising Materials provided by Agency are damaged, not to Media Company’s specifications, or otherwise unacceptable, Media Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Agency within two (2) business days of its receipt of such Advertising Materials.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Media Company will not be liable for any Losses resulting from Claims to the extent that such Claims result from Media Company’s customization of Ads or Advertising Materials based upon detailed specifications, materials, or information provided by the Advertiser, Agency, and/or each of its Affiliates and/or Representatives.

- Procedure. The indemnified party(s) will promptly notify the indemnifying party of all Claims of which it becomes aware (provided that a failure or delay in providing such notice will not relieve the indemnifying party’s obligations except to the extent such party is prejudiced by such failure or delay), and will: (i) provide reasonable cooperation to the indemnifying party at the indemnifying party’s expense in connection with the defense or settlement of all Claims; and (ii) be entitled to participate at its own expense in the defense of all Claims. The indemnified party(s) agrees that the indemnifying party will have sole and exclusive control over the defense and settlement of all Claims; provided, however, the indemnifying party will not agree to any judgment or enter into any settlement, either of which imposes any obligation or liability on an indemnified party(s) without its prior written consent.
