Non-qualified leads are returnable up to 10% of the total amount of leads delivered within the invoicing period, unless otherwise indicated in the order.

Except as otherwise stated herein, such license and use rights shall end if Publisher is no longer providing such services.
  5. Publisher’s Responsibilities. Publisher shall comply with all applicable Laws, including but not limited to the Telephone Consumer Protection Act and the Amended Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 (“TCPA”), their state law equivalents, or any other federal or state consumer protection and privacy laws.

  6. Advertiser ResponsibilitiesAdvertiser promises that it has and maintains all necessary and lawful intellectual property rights as required to provide the license and use rights to Publisher hereunder.

Advertiser further promises that all advertising claims of Advertiser are lawful, truthful and substantiated, that it will fulfill all commitments made in its advertisements, and that it will comply with all applicable laws, including without limitation, any laws or regulations promulgated by the Federal Trade Commission, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and any other governing authority over the provision of its ads, products, and services. Advertiser shall provide Publisher with all information and disclosures required by applicable law for all services contemplated hereunder. Advertiser agrees to provide Publisher with all reasonably required written evidence to substantiate advertising claims promptly upon request.
  7. Content Approval. All creative content utilized by Publisher hereunder and published or disseminated as a result of the services shall be reviewed by Advertiser, and must be approved in writing by Advertiser prior to any public use or dissemination. If requested by Publisher, Advertiser shall be required to utilize Publisher’s content review and approval system to document such written approvals; if not so requested, Advertiser’s approval shall be made in writing via email. Provided that Publisher does not alter or modify approved content (other than nonmaterial modifications reasonably necessary for technical compatibility), an approval by Advertiser shall constitute its representation that such content does not violate any applicable law or the rights of any third Party. Advertiser shall fully indemnify Publisher for any third-Party claims against Publisher as a result of Publisher’s use of Advertiser’s approved content.
  8. Term and Termination. This Agreement shall be in effect as of the Effective Date and shall remain in effect until terminated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Each Order shall have its own term. Unless otherwise stated in the Order, the Parties’ termination rights for an Order shall be that a Party may only terminate for cause pursuant to section 7(a) below.
    1. Termination for Cause. In the event that a Party is in material breach of an Order, the non-breaching Party may terminate the Order provided that it gives written notice of the breach to the breaching Party and the breaching Party fails to cure the breach within 15 days from the date notice was given. In such an event, termination shall be as of the expiration of the aforementioned cure period. If Advertiser is in breach of its payment obligations and cures its breach within the cure period but subsequently breaches its payment obligations again, Publisher may, at its option, terminate the Order immediately upon the second breach. This Agreement (and consequently, all associated Orders) shall be terminated upon: (i) one Party ceasing to conduct business, becoming or being declared by a federal bankruptcy court to be insolvent or bankrupt, or being the subject of any proceeding under the federal bankruptcy code relating to its insolvency that is not dismissed within 60 days; (ii) the appointment of a receiver for all or any portion of a Party’s business or operations; or (iii) the assignment of all or substantially all the assets of a Party for the benefit of creditors. In the event Advertiser engages in any of the actions described in the preceding sentence, Advertiser acknowledges and agrees that Publisher shall maintain priority for payment of amounts due and owing to Publisher in any such proceedings or assignments, and Advertiser agrees to use all best efforts to effectuate the same.
    2. Termination for Convenience and Lapse. Provided there are no Orders in current force or effect, either Party may terminate this Agreement for any or no reason upon 30 days’ prior written notice to the other Party. In the event there are no Orders in current force or effect and unless otherwise terminated under the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall automatically terminate at the expiration of 12 months following the termination or expiration of the last Order.
    3. Survival. All the terms of this Agreement that reasonably may be interpreted as surviving termination of this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, the following sections shall specifically survive the termination of this Agreement: 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18.
    4. Effect of Termination. In the event that Advertiser terminates this Agreement or an Order other than for cause due to Publisher’s material breach, Advertiser shall pay all costs and service charges incurred through the effective date of termination, including any future non-cancellable commitments. Advertiser’s obligation for payment under this section shall be in addition to and not in lieu of any other remedies Publisher may have under applicable law.
  9. Ownership of Deliverables. Advertiser shall retain all right, title and interest in and to all content and deliverables provided by Advertiser to Publisher for it to perform the services set forth in any Order. Any content or deliverables developed by Publisher for services shall not be deemed “works-made-for-hire” on behalf of Advertiser and Publisher shall retain all right, title and interest in and to all such content or deliverables; provided, however, that branded URLs and other intellectual property already owned by Advertiser (such as trademarks and logos) shall at all times remain the property of Advertiser.
  10. Payment and Payment Liability.
    1. Invoicing and Payment. Payment terms for each Campaign shall be set forth in the applicable Order. Unless otherwise provided in the Order, Publisher will invoice Advertiser bi-monthly or upon the earlier expiration or termination of this Agreement or relevant contract, for the services provided in the previous week. Advertiser shall pay all invoices no later than seven (7) business days following the receipt of an invoice. Depending on the type of campaign, Publisher reserves the right to require some or all of the payment in advance. For any travel authorized by Advertiser, Publisher shall invoice Advertiser for Publisher’s reasonable expenses related to such travel. Publisher will pay all taxes on its income and all taxes and insurance associated with its personnel. Advertiser will pay all applicable sales, use, service, value-added, consumption or other such taxes associated with Advertiser’s receipt of services and deliverables.
    2. Late Fees. Where any invoice is overdue by more than ten days, without limiting its other remedies under this Agreement, Publisher may suspend the provision of services under any contract until the overdue payment is made (and any target completion dates in the contract will be adjusted accordingly to allow for the period of suspension, at no further liability to Publisher); and any amount due to Publisher will bear interest, to accrue from day-to-day at a rate of 1.5% per month, or the highest amount allowed by applicable law, whichever is lower, from the date such amount was first due until it is paid in full.
    3. Payment and Contract Liability. Publisher may contract with certain third-party vendors or partners to provide the services hereunder. Advertiser understands and agrees that certain vendor costs may be considered “pass-through” costs, meaning that while Publisher will typically pay these costs directly to the vendors, Advertiser is ultimately responsible for all such costs. Publisher will charge the costs to the Advertiser, and thus the costs are “passed through” from Publisher to Advertiser. Advertiser shall be held directly liable for payment of such pass-through costs to the extent that payment from Advertiser to Publisher has not timely cleared; Advertiser understands that Advertiser is Publisher’s disclosed principal, and Publisher, as agent, has no obligations relating to such payments that have not timely cleared, either joint or several. Upon request, Advertiser will make available to Publisher written confirmation of the relationship between Advertiser and Publisher, which shall include, without limitation, Advertiser’s acknowledgement that Publisher is its agent and is authorized to act on its behalf in connection with this Agreement and all Orders; in addition, upon the request of Publisher, Advertiser will confirm in writing whether Advertiser has paid to Publisher in advance, funds sufficient to make payments pursuant to an Order. In the event that Publisher executes a Campaign on behalf of Advertiser hereunder and enters into contracts with vendors that are similar to industry-standard agreements (such as the IAB version 3.0 contract available here http://www.iab.net/media/file/IAB_4As-tsandcs-FINAL.pdf, or the standard terms and conditions of large publishers such as without limitation Google, Yahoo, Bing, Microsoft and Apple), Advertiser agrees that it shall automatically be entered into and bound by such contracts and that it shall fulfill the role of “Advertiser” or other similar role as such agreements provide.
  11. Data. Through the course of providing services hereunder, Publisher may be exposed to, collect, or require use of certain data related to websites, Campaigns and Leads (collectively, “Data”).
    1. Customer Anonymous Information. Customer Anonymous Information” means any non-personally identifiable information about persons or entities that is generated under this Agreement, whether generated on websites or technologies owned by Advertiser, Publisher or third parties, including without limitation, all aggregated or individual anonymous demographic information and browser cache data. Customer Anonymous Information may identify Advertiser’s industry or vertical but shall not identify Advertiser. Customer Anonymous Information is not Customer Personal Information.
    2. Customer Personal Information. Customer Personal Information” means any personally identifiable information about persons or entities that Publisher obtains on behalf of Advertiser under this Agreement when generated on websites or technologies owned by Advertiser or Publisher on behalf of Advertiser, which concerns prospective and existing customers of Advertiser, including without limitation, names, addresses, telephone numbers, email addresses, social security information, credit card information, and call-detail information.

While Publisher neither provides legal advice nor assumes liability regarding Advertiser’s privacy policy, Publisher may review Advertiser’s privacy policy and make requests for updates or changes from time to time as reasonably necessary for the services hereunder, and Advertiser shall work with Publisher to promptly make such changes or updates.

Excepting trade secrets, which shall be held confidential for an indefinite period of time or until such trade secret becomes public knowledge through no act or failure to act of receiving Party, the receiving Party shall safeguard all Confidential Information as required hereunder for a period of five (5) years from the date and time of disclosure. Receiving Party may disclose the Confidential Information to those staff, advisors and vendors who need to know such Confidential Information as is reasonably necessary for receiving Party to carry out its duties hereunder; provided that all such Parties are under an obligation of confidentiality at least as restrictive as that set forth herein. The receiving Party may also disclose the Confidential Information as required under applicable law or judicial or administrative order, provided that disclosing Party is notified with a reasonable time for disclosing Party, at its own expense, to make its own objections and protective orders. Except to the extent that Confidential Information is required for services continuing hereunder, at any time a disclosing Party may request in writing, and receiving Party shall promptly comply, that receiving Party return and destroy any or all of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information held hereunder.

  15. IndemnificationIn addition to any of Advertiser’s indemnification obligations described in other sections of this Agreement, Advertiser shall fully indemnify, defend and hold harmless Publisher for any third-party claims against Publisher that arise as a result of Advertiser’s products, services or advertising claims, its breach of applicable law or its breach of this Agreement, or of Publisher’s authorized use of data supplied by Advertiser. Publisher shall fully indemnify, defend and hold harmless Advertiser for any third-party claims against Advertiser that arise as a result of Publisher’s use of unapproved content or its breach of this Agreement. Each Party shall be required to give prompt notice to the other of any third-party claims, and no indemnifying Party may settle a claim or a dispute that creates fault or liability for the indemnified Party without the indemnified Party’s prior written consent.
  16. Limitation of LiabilityNotwithstanding the Parties’ indemnification obligations hereunder, neither Party shall be liable to the other for: (i) incidental, special punitive, indirect or consequential damages of any kind, including lost profits, lost data, lost revenues, loss of business opportunity, or harm to reputation or brand, whether or not either Party was aware or should have been aware of the possibility of such damages; or (ii) a total aggregate liability hereunder, if any, exceeding the amounts paid or payable hereunder in the one (1) year immediately-preceding the circumstance which gave rise to the claim.

  17. Disclaimer of Guarantees and WarrantiesExcept as otherwise explicitly stated herein, the services and deliverables are sold “as is” and Publisher makes no other warranties (express or implied) with respect to the performance of its services or deliverables, including without limitation, any guaranty for performance or specific action or result, or implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purposes. Publisher shall not be liable for any unavailability of services or deliverable for reasons beyond Publisher’s reasonable control.
  18. Non-Circumvention. Advertiser hereby acknowledges that Publisher maintains direct contractual relationships with certain third-party companies who sell goods or other services to Publisher for Publisher’s use in the provision of the services to Advertiser, (“Vendors”). Advertiser further acknowledges that Publisher has invested considerable resources and intellectual property in the establishment of its direct contractual relationships with the Vendors, and that Publisher would suffer harm if Advertiser were to circumvent Publisher and contract directly or indirectly with the Vendors. Therefore, Advertiser hereby agrees that during the term of this Agreement and any agreement currently binding the Parties, and for a period of one (1) year following termination of this Agreement, Advertiser shall not knowingly, nor shall it knowingly permit any third party acting on its behalf to, directly or indirectly, in any manner solicit or purchase any advertising services from any Vendor who provided services to Publisher in connection with this Agreement, including but not limited to any Vendor which becomes known to Advertiser via any technical evaluation, examination or analysis conducted by Advertiser of Publisher’s inbound traffic, without the express prior written permission of Publisher. Such permission shall not be unreasonably withheld in the event that Advertiser knowingly: (a) had a direct contractual relationship with the Vendor in question that was current and valid as of the Effective Date; and (b) was actively purchasing and trafficking advertising from the Vendor in question during the three (3) months prior to the Effective Date of this Agreement. If a Vendor used by Publisher for Advertiser approaches Advertiser in order to circumvent Publisher, Advertiser agrees that it shall notify Publisher of such actions within a reasonable time period.

    4. Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced by any law or public policy, all other terms or provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced, the Parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.
