ADVERTISER TERMS AND CONDITIONS

These Publisher Terms and Conditions (the “Agreement”) set forth the agreement between Blue Track Media, LLC and Tapsomnia, a division of Blue Track Media, and You, an Advertising Partner.

You shall be legally bound by this Agreement by executing a hard copy of this Agreement, electronically accepting this Agreement online, or by using Blue Track Media’s services. The Blue Track Media , as well as the services provided by Blue Track Media in connection therewith (“Services”), are further described in the Insertion Order (“IO”) attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference (the IO, together with this Advertiser Agreement, the “Agreement”). The terms of the IO shall supersede all contrary terms set forth in this Advertiser Agreement, unless expressly set forth to the contrary. In any instance where Advertiser is an agency entering into the Agreement on behalf of a client, any reference to “Advertiser” shall refer jointly to Advertiser as well as the applicable underlying client.

Blue Track Media/Services

Advertiser agrees to accept and pay for, and Blue Track Media agrees to provide, the Services identified and set forth in the Agreement. In connection with the Services, Blue Track Media shall undertake marketing campaigns with Advertiser (each an “Ad Campaign”) whereby Blue Track Media will distribute Advertiser’s proprietary advertising materials including, without limitation, banners, buttons, text-links, clicks, co-registrations, pop-ups, pop-unders, e-mail, graphic files and similar online media (collectively, “Advertiser Ads”) and/or, where applicable, Blue Track Media Ads (as defined below) through the Blue Track Media either:

  • on Publisher websites via the Blue Track Media Ad Server for impressions-based Ad Campaigns (“CPM”); or
  • by Affiliates via e-mail based marketing, search engine marketing, website based marketing and/or other online marketing means. In connection with such Ad Campaigns, Advertiser shall pay Blue Track Media commissions depending on the number of valid clicks, impressions, sales/actions (“CPA”), applications and leads (“Leads”), and/or such other compensable activities generated on behalf of Advertiser as set forth in the subject IO (collectively, “Actions”). The applicable Actions, the fees due to Blue Track Media for each Action and other applicable terms and conditions of the Ad Campaigns entered into hereunder shall be specified in each IO. Blue Track Media shall not be held liable or responsible for any actions or inactions of its Publishers or Affiliates.

Account

Upon the execution of the Agreement, Your Account Manager will create a unique, password-protected account (“Account”) on the Blue Track Media platform for you. Advertiser will be responsible for safeguarding and maintaining the confidentiality of its Account and associated password. Advertiser shall remain fully and solely responsibility for any and all actions taken under Advertiser’s Account, whether authorized by Advertiser or not. Advertiser must immediately notify Blue Track Media of any unauthorized use of Advertiser’s Account. Advertiser is responsible for keeping its Account information current, complete and accurate, and Advertiser acknowledges and agrees that Blue Track Media will have no responsibility or liability, directly or indirectly, for failure to deliver notices as a result of inaccurate Account information.

Ads

Advertiser shall develop all aspects of the Advertiser Ads, other than where the parties agree that Blue Track Media shall assist in the development of Ads. The parties understand and agree that Advertiser is the sole owner of any and all intellectual property rights associated with any Advertiser Ads; other than those portions that Blue Track Media prepares on Advertiser’s behalf (such portions hereinafter referred to as, the “Blue Track Media Ads” and together with the Advertiser Ads, the “Ads”). The parties understand and agree that Blue Track Media is the sole owner of any and all intellectual property rights associated with the Blue Track Media Ads, other than Advertiser’s trademarks, logos, copyrights and other pre-existing Advertiser intellectual property incorporated in the Blue Track Media Ads. Under no circumstances shall Blue Track Media be authorized to use the Ads other than in connection with Advertiser’s Ad Campaigns as set forth in the IO(s). Advertiser shall submit all Advertiser Ads to Blue Track Media for approval prior to the commencement of the subject Ad Campaign set forth in the applicable IO. Advertiser shall not alter, modify or otherwise change the Ads, or any other Ads-related feature, in any manner whatsoever, without obtaining Blue Track Media’s prior express written consent, after the applicable Ad has been approved by Blue Track Media. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Blue Track Media shall have sole discretion with respect to the creation of the “subject” and “from” lines used in its e-mailing of any Ads. Blue Track Media reserves the right, in its sole discretion and without liability, to: change any of its Ad Guidelines at any time; and to reject, omit, exclude or terminate any Ad for any reason at any time, with subsequent notice to the Advertiser, whether or not such Ad was previously acknowledged, accepted or published by Blue Track Media. Such reasons for rejection, omission or exclusion of Ads include, but are not limited to, where Blue Track Media deems, in its sole discretion, that the Ads, including the applicable products and/or services promoted by such Ads (“Advertiser Products”), and any website linked to from such Ads, are in violation of any applicable law, rule, regulation or other judicial or administrative order or where the content thereof may tend to bring disparagement, ridicule or scorn upon Blue Track Media or any of its Publishers and/or Affiliates. Advertiser reserves the right to reject, omit, exclude, terminate or request a change to the Ads at any time and Blue Track Media shall, subject to the provisions set forth herein, comply with such request as soon as practical but in no event later than three (3) business days after its receipt thereof. Advertiser may cancel or suspend a CPM-based Ad Campaign, or an Ad associated with such a CPM-based Ad Campaign, effective within approximately twenty-four (24) business hours of Blue Track Media’s receipt of Advertiser’s cancellation notice, which Advertiser can deliver by logging into its Account and following the instructions on the applicable menu.

Placement

The positioning, placement, frequency and other editorial decisions related to Ads shall be made by Blue Track Media and/or its Affiliates and Publishers, as applicable, in their respective sole discretion. The applicable IO may set forth the particular place(s) where Ads may appear and/or be distributed. Advertiser agrees that in a case where no points of placement or distributions are set forth in the applicable IO or, in cases where “Run of Affiliate Network” or similar designation is specified in the applicable IO, the Ads may appear at any point of placement and/or distribution that Blue Track Media and/or its Affiliates and Publishers may determine, in their respective sole discretion.

Ad Codes

Unless otherwise stated in writing by Blue Track Media, each Ad used by Blue Track Media in connection with an Ad Campaign must include, in unaltered form, the special transaction tracking computer code provided by Blue Track Media (“Ad Codes”). Advertiser will not knowingly modify, circumvent, impair, disable or otherwise interfere with any Ad Codes and/or other technology and/or methodology required or made available by Blue Track Media to be used in connection with any and all Ads. In connection with CPA-based Ad Campaigns, Advertiser agrees to pay Blue Track Media a default payment of Fifty Cents ($0.50) CPM on a net thirty (30) day basis in instances where conversion data cannot be supplied due to a failure of the Ad Codes and Advertiser’s inability to provide such information, in the alternative. All determinations made by Blue Track Media in connection with the Ads, Actions and any associated fees invoiced to Advertiser shall be final and binding on Advertiser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Blue Track Media’s Services do not involve investigating or resolving any claim or dispute involving Advertiser and any Publisher, Affiliate or other third party.

Payments

The rates for Actions shall be set forth in the applicable IO(s). Blue Track Media will invoice Advertiser twice monthly. Unless otherwise set forth in the applicable IO, payment will be due to Blue Track Media within thirty (30) days of the date appearing on each invoice. If payment is not made in a timely manner, Blue Track Media may, at its option, immediately terminate the Agreement and/or any applicable IO(s). Interest will accrue on any past due amounts at the rate equal to the lesser of one and one half percent (1.5 per month or the maximum amount permitted by law. In addition, Advertiser shall be liable to Blue Track Media for all attorneys’ fees and other costs of collection incurred in collecting such unpaid amounts. Advertiser agrees and acknowledges that it shall be fully responsible for any and all taxes, whether state or local, and related fees, costs and penalties incurred by Blue Track Media and/or any of its Publishers or Affiliates pursuant to Chapter 57 of the Laws of 2008 amending the New York State Tax Law.

Leads/CPA/Unaccepted Actions

In connection with Leads and CPA-based Ad Campaigns, Advertiser will pay Blue Track Media for all Actions generated; provided, however, that Advertiser shall have no obligation to pay for any Lead/CPA-based Action that:

  • it rejects within five (5) days of its receipt thereof; and
  • both parties determine is not a Valid Action (as defined below). Where Blue Track Media determines that such Action is a Valid Action, Advertiser must pay for same. A “Valid Action” means an individual person that:
  • is not a computer generated user, such as a robot, spider, computer script or other automated, artificial or fraudulent method designed to appear like an individual, real live person;
  • in the case of CPA-based Campaign, is a valid sale that is not fraudulent, cancelled, charged back or otherwise nullified; and
  • in the case of Leads-based Campaigns, has submitted information that meets all of Advertiser’s criteria as set forth in the applicable IO. The data associated with any and all Lead/CPA-based Actions (“Action Data”) that are not both accepted and paid for by Advertiser shall be deemed the Confidential Information of Blue Track Media, subject to any and all restrictions set forth herein (“Unaccepted Action Data”). Upon Advertiser’s acceptance of a Lead/CPA-based Action (and payment to Blue Track Media therefor in accordance with payment terms set forth herein and in the applicable IO), Blue Track Media shall grant to Advertiser joint ownership and the full right to use such Action Data. Where Advertiser does not accept Leads/CPA-based Actions, where Advertiser fails to make payments for same in accordance with the payment terms herein and in the applicable IO and/or where such Leads/CPA-based Actions are later determined not to be Valid Actions, Advertiser shall have no rights in and to such Action Data, and such Action Data shall be considered and treated as Unaccepted Action Data. Without limiting the generality of the confidentiality obligations set forth herein, Advertiser agrees that it:
  • will not transfer, export, display, forward or otherwise share information contained in the Unaccepted Action Data to/with any third party;
  • will not use the information contained in the Unaccepted Action Data on its own behalf in any manner not expressly authorized by Blue Track Media;
  • will not use the information contained in the Unaccepted Action Data to create any interactive on-line, CD-ROM or other derivative product;
  • will not publicly display the information contained in the Unaccepted Action Data on the Internet; and
  • will notify Blue Track Media as soon as it learns of any actual or suspected unauthorized use of or access to the information contained in the Unaccepted Action Data and provide reasonable assistance to Blue Track Media in the investigation and prosecution of any such unauthorized use or disclosure.

Term/Termination

The Agreement shall continue for the term set forth in any underlying IO, provided that either party may terminate the Agreement and/or any IO at any time, upon five (5) business days’ prior written notice. Upon termination or expiration of the Agreement for any reason:

  • Advertiser will pay Blue Track Media all amounts then due and owing as of the termination date within thirty (30) days as set forth in Section 7 hereinabove;
  • any and all licenses and rights granted to either party in connection with the Agreement shall immediately cease and terminate; and
  • any and all Confidential Information or proprietary information of either party that is in the other party’s possession or control must be immediately returned or destroyed. Notwithstanding any termination of the Agreement, any provisions of the Agreement that may reasonably be expected to survive termination of the Agreement, shall survive and remain in effect in accordance with their terms.

Non-Circumvention

Advertiser recognizes that Blue Track Media has proprietary relationships with its Publishers and Affiliates. Advertiser agrees not to circumvent Blue Track Media’s relationship with such Publishers and Affiliates, or to otherwise solicit, purchase, contract for or obtain services similar to the Services performed by Blue Track Media hereunder from any Publisher and/or Affiliate that is known, or should reasonably be known, by Advertiser to have such a relationship with Blue Track Media, during the term of the Agreement and for six (6) months following termination or expiration of the Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that Advertiser can show that any such Publishers and Affiliates already provided such services to Advertiser prior to the date of the first IO executed by the parties, then Advertiser shall not be prohibited from continuing such relationship. Advertiser agrees that monetary damages for its breach, or threatened breach, of this Section 14 will not be adequate and that Blue Track Media shall be entitled to:

  • injunctive relief (including temporary and preliminary relief) without the requirement to post a bond;.

If any such Force Majeure Event occurs including, without limitation, acts of God, fires, explosions, telecommunications, Internet or Affiliate Network failure, results of vandalism or computer hacking, storm or other natural occurrences, national emergencies, acts of terrorism, insurrections, riots, wars, strikes or other labor difficulties, or any act or omission of any other person or entity, the affected party will give the other party notice and will use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the impact of any such event.

Miscellaneous

Assignment. Neither party may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under the Agreement or any IO without the prior written consent of the other party, and any attempts to do so shall be null and void; provided, however, that either party may assign the Agreement, any IO or any portion hereof/thereof, to:

  • an acquirer of all or substantially all of such party’s equity, business or assets;
  • a successor in interest whether by merger, reorganization or otherwise; or
  • any entity controlling or under common control with such party.
  • Choice of Law/Venue. The Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York. In the event that any suit, action or other legal proceeding shall be instituted against either party in connection with the Agreement, each hereby submits to the jurisdiction of either the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York or any New York State court of competent jurisdiction, located in New York County, and further agrees to comply with all the requirements necessary to give such court jurisdiction.
  • Modification. The Agreement, any exhibits attached hereto and any and all applicable IO(s) represent the complete and entire expression of the agreement between the parties, and shall supersede any and all other agreements, whether written or oral, between the parties. The Agreement, any exhibits attached hereto and any and all applicable IO(s) may be amended only by a written agreement executed by an authorized representative of each party. To the extent that anything in or associated with any IO is in conflict or inconsistent with the Agreement, the IO shall take precedence.
  • Non-Waiver/Severability. No waiver of any breach of any provision of the Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any prior, concurrent or subsequent breach of the same or any other provisions hereof, and no waiver shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party. If any provision contained in the Agreement is determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law, then such provision will be severed and replaced with a new provision that most closely reflects the real intention of the parties, and the remaining provisions of the Agreement will remain in full force and effect.
  • Relationship of the Parties. The parties hereto are independent contractors. There is no relationship of partnership, agency, employment, franchise or joint venture between the parties. Neither party has the authority to bind the other, or incur any obligation on its behalf; provided, however, that Blue Track Media acts as a limited agent of Advertiser for the sole purpose of performing the Services set forth in applicable IO(s).

  • Subprocessing. Each party hereby grants the other party general authorization to engage Subprocessors in connection with performing its obligations under the Agreement (including website hosting providers, credit card processors, marketing professionals, network infrastructure operators, providers of anti-fraud reporting services, analytics service providers, and other outsourced providers), provided that such party shall in each case ensure that: (1) such party enters into a written agreement with such Subprocessors that includes materially the same obligations as those in this Addendum; (2) such party remains fully responsible for such Subprocessors Processing activities under the Agreement; (3) such Subprocessors implement appropriate technical and organization security measures to protect Personal Data; and (4) such Subprocessors provide sufficient guarantees that such Subprocessors will Process Personal Data in a manner that will meet the requirements of applicable Data Protection Laws.
