AdBull Advertising Program Terms
These AdBull Advertising
Program Terms ("Terms") are entered into by, as applicable, the
customer signing these Terms or any document that references these Terms or
that accepts these Terms electronically ("Customer") and Lexos Media, Inc. ("AdBull"). These Terms govern Customer's
participation in AdBull's advertising program(s) ("Program") and, as applicable, any insertion orders
or service agreements ("IO") executed by and between the parties and/or Customer's
online management of any advertising campaigns. These Terms and any
applicable IO are collectively referred to as the "Agreement." AdBull and Customer hereby agree and
acknowledge:
1 Policies. Program use is subject to all applicable AdBull
and Partner policies, including without limitation the AdBull Privacy Policy (http://Beta.AdBull.com/Privacy), and AdBull
and Partner ad specification requirements (collectively, "Policies"). Policies may be modified at any time.
Customer shall direct only to AdBull communications regarding Customer
ads on Partner Properties. Some Program features are identified as "Beta," "Ad Experiment," or otherwise unsupported ("Beta Features"). To the fullest extent permitted by law,
Beta Features are provided "as is" and at Customer's option and risk.
Customer shall not disclose to any third party any information from Beta
Features, existence of non-public Beta Features or access to Beta Features. AdBull
may modify ads to comply with any Policies.
2 The Program. Customer is solely responsible for all: (a) ad
targeting options and keywords (collectively "Targets") and all ad content, ad information, and
ad URLs ("Creative"), whether generated by or for Customer; and (b) web sites,
services and landing pages which Creative links or directs viewers to, and
advertised services and products (collectively "Services"). Customer shall protect any Customer
passwords and takes full responsibility for Customer's own, and third party,
use of any Customer accounts. Customer understands and agrees that ads may be
placed on (y) any content or property provided by AdBull ("AdBull Property"), and, unless Customer opts out of such
placement in the manner specified by AdBull, (z) any other content or property
provided by a third party ("Partner") upon which AdBull places ads ("Partner Property"). Customer authorizes and consents
to all such placements. With respect to online auction-based advertising,
AdBull may send Customer an email notifying Customer it has 72 hours ("Modification Period") to modify keywords and settings as
posted. The account (as modified by Customer, or if not modified, as initially
posted) is deemed approved by Customer in all respects after the Modification
Period. Customer agrees that all placements of Customer's ads shall
conclusively be deemed to have been approved by Customer unless Customer
produces contemporaneous documentary evidence showing that Customer disapproved
such placements in the manner specified by AdBull. With respect to all other
advertising, Customer must provide AdBull with all relevant Creative by the due
date set forth in that Program's applicable frequently asked questions at http://Beta.AdBull.com/FAQ ("FAQ")
or as otherwise communicated by AdBull. Customer grants AdBull permission
to utilize an automated software program to retrieve and analyze websites
associated with the Services for ad quality and serving purposes, unless
Customer specifically opts out of the evaluation in a manner specified by AdBull.
AdBull may modify any of its Programs at any time without liability. AdBull
also may modify these Terms at any time without liability, and Customer's use
of the Program after notice that these Terms have changed constitutes
Customer's acceptance of the new Terms. AdBull or Partners may reject or remove
any ad or Target for any or no reason.
3 Cancellation. Customer may cancel advertising online
through Customer's account if online cancellation
functionality is available, or, if not available, with prior written notice to AdBull,
including without limitation electronic mail. Online auction-based
advertising cancelled online will cease serving shortly after
cancellation. The cancellation of all other advertising may be subject to
Program policies or AdBull's ability to re-schedule reserved inventory or
cancel ads already in production. Cancelled ads may be published despite
cancellation if cancellation of those ads occurs after any applicable
commitment date as set forth in advance by the Partner or AdBull, in which case
Customer must pay for those ads. AdBull may cancel immediately any IO,
any of its Programs, or these Terms at any time with notice, in which case
Customer will be responsible for any ads already run. Sections 1,
2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 will survive any expiration or termination of this
Agreement.
4 Prohibited Uses; License Grant;
Representations and Warranties. Customer shall not, and shall not authorize any party to: (a)
generate automated, fraudulent or otherwise invalid impressions, inquiries,
conversions, clicks or other actions; (b) use any automated means or form of
scraping or data extraction to access, query or otherwise collect AdBull
advertising related information from any Program website or property except as
expressly permitted by AdBull; or (c) advertise anything illegal or engage in
any illegal or fraudulent business practice. Customer represents and
warrants that it holds and hereby grants AdBull and Partners all rights (including
without limitation any copyright, trademark, patent, publicity or other rights)
in Creative, Services and Targets needed for AdBull and Partner to operate
Programs (including without limitation any rights needed to host, cache,
route, transmit, store, copy, modify, distribute, perform, display, reformat,
excerpt, analyze, and create algorithms from and derivative works of Creative
or Targets) in connection with this Agreement ("Use"). Customer represents and warrants
that (y) all Customer information is complete, correct and current; and (z) any
Use hereunder and Customer's Creative, Targets, and Customer's Services will
not violate or encourage violation of any applicable laws, regulations, code of
conduct, or third party rights (including without limitation intellectual
property rights). Violation of the foregoing may result in immediate
termination of this Agreement or customer's account without notice and may
subject Customer to legal penalties and consequences.
5 Disclaimer and Limitation of
Liability. To the fullest extent
permitted by law, ADBULL DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION FOR NONINFRINGEMENT, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE. To the fullest
extent permitted by law, AdBull disclaims all guarantees regarding positioning,
levels, quality, or timing of: (i) costs per click; (ii) click through
rates; (iii) availability and delivery of any impressions, Creative, or Targets
on any Partner Property, AdBull Property, or section thereof; (iv) clicks; (v)
conversions or other results for any ads or Targets; (vi) the accuracy of
Partner data (e.g. reach, size of audience, demographics or other purported
characteristics of audience); and (vii) the adjacency or placement of ads
within a Program. Customer understands that third parties may generate
impressions or clicks on Customer's ads for prohibited or improper purposes,
and Customer accepts the risk of any such impressions and clicks.
Customer's exclusive remedy, and AdBull's exclusive liability, for suspected
invalid impressions or clicks is for Customer to make a claim for a refund in
the form of advertising credits for AdBull Properties within the time period
required under Section 7 below. Any refunds for suspected invalid
impressions or clicks are within AdBull's sole discretion. EXCEPT FOR
INDEMNIFICATION AMOUNTS PAYABLE TO THIRD PARTIES HEREUNDER AND CUSTOMER'S
BREACHES OF SECTION 1, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW: (a) NEITHER
PARTY WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, OR
PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE,
INTEREST, GOODWILL, LOSS OR CORRUPTION OF DATA OR FOR ANY LOSS OR INTERRUPTION
TO CUSTOMER'S BUSINESS) WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION
NEGLIGENCE) OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
SUCH DAMAGES AND NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY
LIMITED REMEDY; AND (b) EACH PARTY'S AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO THE OTHER IS LIMITED
TO AMOUNTS PAID OR PAYABLE TO ADBULL BY CUSTOMER FOR THE AD GIVING RISE TO THE
CLAIM. Except for payment obligations, neither party is liable for failure or
delay resulting from a condition beyond the reasonable control of the party,
including without limitation to acts of God, government, terrorism, natural
disaster, labor conditions and power failures.
6 Agency. Customer represents and warrants that (a) it is
authorized to act on behalf of and has bound to this Agreement any third party
for which Customer advertises (a "Principal"), (b) as between Principal and Customer,
the Principal owns any rights to Program information in connection with those
ads, and (c) Customer shall not disclose Principal's Program information to any
other party without Principal's consent.
7 Payment. Customer shall be responsible for all charges
up to the amount of each IO, or as set in an online account, and shall pay all
charges in U.S. Dollars or in such other currency as agreed to in writing by
the parties. Unless agreed to by the parties in writing, Customer shall
pay all charges in accordance with the payment terms in the applicable IO or
Program FAQ. Late payments bear interest at the rate of 1.5% per month
(or the highest rate permitted by law, if less). Charges are exclusive of
taxes. Customer is responsible for paying (x) all taxes, (y) government
charges, and (z) reasonable expenses and attorneys fees AdBull incurs
collecting late amounts. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Customer
waives all claims relating to charges (including without limitation any claims
for charges based on suspected invalid clicks) unless claimed within 60 days
after the charge (this does not affect Customer's credit card issuer rights).
Charges are solely based on AdBull's measurements for the applicable Program,
unless otherwise agreed to in writing. To the fullest extent permitted by law,
refunds (if any) are at the discretion of AdBull and only in the form of
advertising credit for only AdBull Properties. Nothing in these Terms or an IO
may obligate AdBull to extend credit to any party. Customer acknowledges
and agrees that any credit card and related billing and payment information
that Customer provides to AdBull may be shared by AdBull with companies who
work on AdBull's behalf, such as payment processors and/or credit agencies,
solely for the purposes of checking credit, effecting payment to AdBull and
servicing Customer's account. AdBull may also provide information in response
to valid legal process, such as subpoenas, search warrants and court orders, or
to establish or exercise its legal rights or defend against legal claims. AdBull
shall not be liable for any use or disclosure of such information by such third
parties.
8 Indemnification. Customer shall indemnify and defend AdBull, its
Partners, agents, affiliates, and licensors from any third party claim or
liability (collectively, "Liabilities"), arising out of Use, Customer's Program
use, Targets, Creative and Services and breach of the Agreement. Partners
shall be deemed third party beneficiaries of the above Partner indemnity.
9 Miscellaneous. THE AGREEMENT MUST BE
CONSTRUED AS IF BOTH PARTIES JOINTLY WROTE IT AND GOVERNED BY NEW YORK LAW
EXCEPT FOR ITS CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES. ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ADBULL PROGRAM(S) SHALL BE LITIGATED
EXCLUSIVELY IN THE FEDERAL OR STATE COURTS OF NEW YORK COUNTY, NEW
YORK, USA, AND ADBULL AND CUSTOMER CONSENT TO PERSONAL JURISDICTION IN THOSE
COURTS. The Agreement constitutes the entire and exclusive agreement between
the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes and
replaces any other agreements, terms and conditions applicable to the subject
matter hereof. No statements or promises have been relied upon in entering into
this Agreement except as expressly set forth herein,
and any conflicting or additional terms contained in any other documents (e.g.
reference to a purchase order number) or oral discussions are void. Each party
shall not disclose the terms or conditions of these Terms to any third party,
except to its professional advisors under a strict duty of confidentiality or
as necessary to comply with a government law, rule or regulation.
Customer may grant approvals, permissions, extensions and consents by email,
but any modifications by Customer to the Agreement must be made in a writing
executed by both parties. Any notices to AdBull must be sent to AdBull Inc.,
Advertising Programs, 21 Astor Place, 10-D, New York, NY 10003, USA, via confirmed
facsimile, with a copy sent via first class or air mail or overnight courier,
and are deemed given upon receipt. A waiver of any default is not a waiver of
any subsequent default. Unenforceable provisions will be modified to reflect
the parties' intention and only to the extent necessary to make them
enforceable, and remaining provisions of the Agreement will remain in full
effect. Customer may not assign any of its rights hereunder and any such
attempt is void. AdBull and Customer and AdBull and Partners are not legal
partners or agents, but are independent contractors. In the event that
these Terms or a Program expire or is terminated, AdBull shall not be obligated
to return any materials to Customer. Notice to Customer may be effected by
sending an email to the email address specified in Customer's account, or by
posting a message to Customer's account interface, and is deemed received when
sent (for email) or no more than 15 days after having been posted (for messages
in Customer's account interface).
