I. INSERTION ORDERS AND INVENTORY AVAILABILITY
(a) IO Details. From time to time, Media Company and Demand Partner may execute IOs (including where applicable IOs for InMobi DSP) that will be accepted as set forth in Section I(b). As applicable, each IO will specify: (i) the type(s) and amount(s) of Deliverables, (ii) the price(s) for such Deliverables, (iii) the maximum amount of money to be spent pursuant to the IO, which may include how it is allocated to be spent across Media Company Properties and/or Affiliate Promotion Properties (iv) the start and end dates of the campaign, and (v) the identity of and contact information for any Third Party Ad Server. Other items that may be included are, but are not limited to, reporting requirements, any special Ad delivery scheduling and/or Ad placement requirements, and specifications concerning ownership of data collected. Excluding Advertising Materials provided by Demand Partner, Media Company shall own and retain all right, title and interest in any materials and content it creates for the media buy pursuant to the IO. Demand Partner agrees that it shall not at any time assert or claim any interest in or do anything that may adversely affect the validity or enforceability of any intellectual property or other proprietary right belonging to Media Company hereunder. The Parties agree that depending on the nature of use and access of the InMobi DSP by the Demand Partner, the Media Company may at its sole discretion require the Demand Partner to either enter into a separate services agreement (that will incorporate these terms to the extent applicable) or an IO (as set forth herein). In the absence of an IO executed between the parties that corresponds to the relevant campaign, the terms and conditions mentioned under the most recent IO executed between the parties shall deem to be extended to govern all ongoing and prospective campaigns until such time as the parties execute a fresh IO.
(b) Availability; Acceptance. Media Company will make commercially reasonable efforts to notify Agency within two (2) business days of receipt of an IO signed by Demand Partner if the specified inventory is not available. Acceptance of the IO and these Terms will be deemed the earlier of (i) written (which, unless otherwise specified, for purposes of these Terms, will include paper, fax, or e-mail communication) approval of the IO by Media Company and Demand Partner, or (ii) the display of the first Ad impression by Media Company, unless otherwise agreed on the IO. Notwithstanding the foregoing, modifications to the originally submitted IO will not be binding unless approved in writing by both Media Company and Demand Partner.
(c) Revisions. Revisions to accepted IOs will be made in writing and acknowledged by the other party in writing.
II. AD PLACEMENT AND POSITIONING
(a) Compliance with IO. Media Company will comply with the IO, including all Ad placement restrictions, and, except as set forth in Section VI(c), will use commercially reasonable efforts to create a reasonably balanced delivery schedule; provided that, Demand Partner acknowledges that given the nature of Media Company's business impressions on Sites may vary at times. Media Company will provide, within the scope of the IO, an Ad to the Site specified on the IO when such Site is visited by an Internet user. Any exceptions will be approved by Demand Partner in writing.
(b) Changes to Site. Media Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Demand Partner at least 10 business days prior notification of any material changes to the Site (excluding Affiliate Promotion Properties) that would materially change the target audience or materially affect the size or placement of the Ad specified on the applicable IO. Should such a modification occur with or without notice, as Demand Partner's 's sole remedy for such change, Demand Partner 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, Demand Partner 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.
(c) Technical Specifications. Media Company may (on request) submit or otherwise make electronically accessible to Demand Partner final technical specifications within two (2) business days of the acceptance of an IO. Changes by Media Company to the specifications of already-purchased Ads after that two (2) business day period will allow Demand Partner to suspend delivery of the affected Ad for a reasonable time (without impacting the end date, unless otherwise agreed by the parties) in order to (i) send revised Advertising Materials; (ii) request that Media Company resize the Ad at Media Company's cost, and with final creative approval of Demand Partner, within a reasonable time period to fulfill the guaranteed levels of the IO; (iii) accept a comparable replacement; or (iv) if the parties are unable to negotiate an alternate or comparable replacement in good faith within five (5) business days, immediately cancel the remainder of the affected placement without penalty.
(d) Editorial Adjacencies. Media Company acknowledges that certain Demand Partners 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 IO ("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 and Affiliate Promotion Properties, Media Company and Demand Partner 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 Demand Partner with respect to violations of Editorial Adjacency Guidelines on Network Properties. Should Ads appear in violation of the Editorial Adjacency Guidelines, Demand Partner'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, issue a credit to Demand Partner equal to the value of such Ads, or not bill Demand Partner for such Ads. In cases where a makegood and a credit can be shown to be commercially infeasible for the Demand Partner and Media Company will negotiate an alternate solution. After Demand Partner 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 24 hours. If such correction materially and adversely impacts such IO, Demand Partner and Media Company will negotiate in good faith mutually agreed changes to such IO to address such impacts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Demand Partner acknowledges and agrees that, subject to applicable laws, no Demand Partner 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 by Demand Partner, or (ii) Ads displayed on properties including Affiliate Promotion Properties that Demand Partner is aware, or should be aware, may contain content in potential violation of the Editorial Adjacency Guidelines including Affiliate Promotion Properties. 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. Demand Partner'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.
III. PAYMENT AND PAYMENT LIABILITY
(a) Invoices. The invoices will be sent by Media Company to the Demand Partner upon completion of the relevant month, or within 30 days of completion of the IO, whichever is earlier. Invoices will be sent to Demand Partner's billing address as set forth on the IO and will include information reasonably specified by Demand Partner, such as the IO number, Demand Partner name, brand name or campaign name, and any number or other identifiable reference stated as required for invoicing on the IO.
(b) Upon request from the Demand Partner, Media Company should provide proof of performance for the invoiced period, which may include access to online or electronic reporting, as addressed in these Terms, subject to the notice and cure provisions of Section IV. Media Company should invoice Demand Partner for the services provided with the net cost (i.e., the cost after subtracting any applicable discounts and commissions, including but not limited to Demand Partner commissions, if any) based on actual delivery, flat-fee, or based on prorated distribution of delivery over the term of the IO, as specified on the applicable IO.
(c) Payment Date. Order acceptance is subject to credit approval of Demand Partner; Demand Partner shall provide information reasonably requested by Media Company to evaluate such entity's credit and Media Company reserves the right to cancel credit at any time for any reason in its sole discretion, with or without notice. Provided credit is approved, payment is due thirty (30) days from the invoice date unless otherwise agreed in writing by Media Company. Any dispute on the invoice should be raised by the Demand Partner within five (5) days from the date of receipt of invoice, failing which the invoice shall be deemed accepted.
(d) In the event of non-payment, and without limiting any other remedies, at its sole discretion, Media Company may offset any amounts due to Media Company against any amounts due from Media Company to Demand Partner under any agreement or IO or may offset such amounts against any charges for media to be delivered by Media Company.
(e) Payment Liability. Unless otherwise set forth by the Media Company in the agreement or the IO, a 2% per month (pro-rated for part thereof) penal interest on late payments shall be levied from the date of expiry of the payment due date of an invoice by the Media Company.
For certain Demand Partners, the Media Company may allow for a pre-payment facility for Deliverables. This Exhibit will apply to Demand Partners making payments through the pre-payment facility.
If the Demand Partner is an Agency, it agrees to make every reasonable effort to collect and clear payments from the end advertiser on a timely basis and extend reasonable cooperation to the Media Company in any such efforts.
Demand Partner's credit is established on a client-by-client basis.
If Advertiser proceeds have not cleared for the IO, other advertisers from Demand Partner, being an Agency, will not be prohibited from advertising on the Site due to such non-clearance if such other advertisers' credit is not in question.
Upon request, Demand Partner will make available to Media Company written confirmation of the relationship between Demand Partner and Advertiser. This confirmation should include, for example, Advertiser's acknowledgment that Demand Partner is its agent and is authorized to act on its behalf in connection with the IO and these Terms. In addition, upon the request of Media Company, Demand Partner will confirm whether Advertiser has paid to Demand Partner in advance funds sufficient to make payments pursuant to the IO.
If Advertiser's or Demand Partner's credit is or becomes impaired, Media Company may require payment in advance.
Payment Recovery Costs. Pursuant to the payment obligations of the Demand Partner, as the case maybe, as mentioned under these Terms, in the event that Media Company is required to seek payment directly from Advertiser, Media Company may directly approach the Advertisers for claiming such amounts due and it may impose additional costs on the Demand Partner, as it may deem fit in its sole discretion, in relation to the IO associated with the recovery of the outstanding payment (i.e., the reasonable costs of debt recovery companies instructed to recover the payments).
Where the Parties have entered into a separate services agreement for InMobi DSP, invoicing and payment terms will be as per the said services agreement. Where a separate services agreement has not been executed, or the services agreement is silent with respect to the dashboard/tool to be referred for arriving at the tracking numbers or impression counts, the Parties agree and acknowledge that the said tracking numbers or impression counts shall be in accordance with InMobi’s dashboard or any tool/MMP partner authorised by InMobi.
(f) Withholding Taxes. Unless agreed otherwise in writing (email sufficient), Demand Partner shall not deduct from payments due to Media Company any amounts whether on account of any withholding tax (WHT), tax deducted at source (TDS), equalization levy, or any other kind of tax or levies required by local law. In case any laws applicable to the Demand Partner obligate such deduction, it shall be borne completely by the Demand Partner without any impact or liability whatsoever upon Media Company.
IV. REPORTING
(a) Media Company Reporting. If Media Company is serving the campaign, Media Company may make reporting available at least as often as weekly, either electronically or in writing, unless otherwise specified on the IO. Reports will be broken out by day and summarized by creative execution, content area (Ad placement), impressions, clicks, spend/cost, and other variables as may be defined on the IO (e.g., keywords).
Once Media Company has provided the online or electronic report, if applicable, it agrees that Demand Partner is entitled to reasonably rely on it, subject to provision of Media Company's invoice for such period.
In the event there are any claims by the Demand Partner regarding the campaign delivery, the Demand Partner shall inform the same to the Media Company in writing (along with reasonable evidence from a Media Rating Council accredited third party vendor). For any claims related to active campaigns, the Media Company will only investigate the claims which fall within the preceding 90 days period from the date of receipt of such claims. For claims related to campaigns which have concluded the Demand Partner shall inform the Media Company within 30 days from the applicable campaign conclusion and the Media Company will only investigate the claims which fall within the preceding 30 days period from the date of conclusion of the applicable campaign.
(b) A user's engagement in steps or actions required to become a user of Demand Partner’s offering will be taken into consideration for Media Company's attribution or determination of an install (whether by itself or a third party) within the applicable Ad View Window period. A user will be deemed to engage in such steps or actions where an Ad rendered by Media Company is viewed/played/clicked upon or otherwise any interactive feature thereof is utilized. Media Company will endeavour to fire beacons as separate events to attribution partners towards such user engagement except where such partner does not support event beacons in which case Media Partner may use click or view beacons for attribution. Media Company reserves the right to exercise a view and attribution window during the applicable reporting period, commencing upon the time a user has either viewed, played, accessed or clicked onto an Ad rendered by InMobi ("Ad View Window")
(c) Unless explicitly stated otherwise, parties acknowledge that the Ads distributed on Affiliate Promotion Properties may attract incentivized traffic, and the same is not prohibited by Demand Partner. Media Company shall not be responsible for any liabilities, claims, obligations, penalties, or chargebacks on account of any click-to-charge arrangements. All of the foregoing shall be borne solely by Demand Partner.
V. CANCELLATION AND TERMINATION
(a) Without Cause. Unless designated on the IO as non-cancelable, Demand Partner may cancel the entire IO, or any portion thereof, as follows:
- With 14 days' prior written notice to Media Company, without penalty, for any guaranteed Deliverable, including, but not limited to, CPM Deliverables. For clarity and by way of example, if Demand Partner cancels the guaranteed portions of the IO eight (8) days prior to serving of the first impression, Demand Partner will only be responsible for the first six (6) days of those Deliverables.
- With seven (7) days' prior written notice to Media Company, without penalty, for any non-guaranteed Deliverable, including, but not limited to, CPC Deliverables, CPL Deliverables, or CPA Deliverables, as well as some non-guaranteed CPM Deliverables.
- With 30 days' prior written notice to Media Company, without penalty, for any flat fee-based or fixed-placement Deliverable, including, but not limited to, roadblocks, time-based or share-of-voice buys, and some types of cancelable sponsorships.
- Demand Partner will remain liable to Media Company for amounts due for any custom content or development ("Custom Material") provided to Demand Partner or completed by Media Company or its third-party vendor prior to the effective date of termination. For IOs that contemplate the provision or creation of Custom Material, Media Company will specify the amounts due for such Custom Material as a separate line item. Demand Partner will pay for such Custom Material within 30 days from receiving an invoice therefore.
(b) For Cause. Either Media Company or Demand Partner may terminate an IO 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 Demand Partner breaches its obligations by violating the same Policy three times (and such Policy was provided to Demand Partner) and receives timely notice of each such breach, even if Demand Partner cures such breaches, then Media Company may terminate the IO or placements associated with such breach upon written notice. If Demand Partner 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 Demand Partner, then Media Company may terminate the IO and/or placements associated with such breach upon written notice.
(c) Where the Parties have entered into a separate services agreement for InMobi DSP, the termination terms will be as per the services agreement.
VI. MAKEGOODS
(a) Notification of Under-delivery. Media Company will monitor delivery of the Ads, and will notify Demand Partner either electronically or in writing as soon as possible if Media Company believes that an under-delivery is likely. In the case of a probable or actual under-delivery, Demand Partner and Media Company may arrange for a makegood consistent with these Terms.
(b) Makegood Procedure. If actual Deliverables for any campaign fall below guaranteed levels, as set forth on the IO, and/or if there is an omission of any Ad (placement or creative unit), Demand Partner and Media Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to agree upon the conditions of a makegood flight, either on the IO or at the time of the shortfall. If no makegood can be agreed upon, Demand Partner may execute a credit equal to the value of the under-delivered portion of the IO for which it was charged. If Demand Partner has made a cash prepayment to Media Company, specifically for the campaign IO for which under-delivery applies, then, if Demand Partner is reasonably current on all amounts owed to Media Company under any other agreement for such Demand Partner, Demand Partner may elect to receive a refund for the under-delivery equal to the difference between the applicable pre-payment and the value of the delivered portion of the campaign. In no event will Media Company provide a makegood or extend any Ad beyond the period set forth on the IO without the prior written consent of Demand Partner.
(c) Unguaranteed Deliverables. If an IO contains CPA Deliverables, CPL Deliverables, or CPC Deliverables, the predictability, forecasting, and conversions for such Deliverables may vary and guaranteed delivery, even delivery, and makegoods are not available.
VII. FORCE MAJEURE
(a) Generally. Excluding payment obligations, neither Demand Partner 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. If no such substitute time period or makegood is reasonably acceptable to Demand Partner, Media Company will allow Demand Partner a pro rata reduction in the space, time, and/or program charges hereunder in the amount of money assigned to the space, time, and/or program charges at the time of purchase. In addition, Demand Partner will have the benefit of the same discounts that would have been earned had there been no default or delay.
(b) Related to Payment. If Demand Partner's ability to transfer funds to third parties has been materially negatively impacted by an event beyond the Demand Partner's reasonable control, including, but not limited to, failure of banking clearing systems or a state of emergency, then Demand Partner will make every reasonable effort to make payments on a timely basis to Media Company, but any delays caused by such condition will be excused for the duration of such condition. Subject to the foregoing, such excuse for delay will not in any way relieve Demand Partner from any of its obligations as to the amount of money that would have been due and paid without such condition.
(c) Cancellation. If a Force Majeure event has continued for five (5) business days, Media Company and/or Demand Partner has the right to cancel the remainder of the IO without penalty.
VIII. AD MATERIALS
(a) Submission. Demand Partner will submit Advertising Materials pursuant to Section II(c) in accordance with Media Company's then-existing Policies. Media Company's sole remedies for a breach of this provision are set forth in Section V(b), above, Sections VIII (c) and (d), below, and Sections IX (b) and (c), below.
(b) Late Creative. If Advertising Materials are not received by the IO start date, Media Company will begin to charge the Demand Partner on the IO start date on a pro rata basis based on the full IO, excluding portions consisting of performance-based, non-guaranteed inventory, for each full day the Advertising Materials are not received. If Advertising Materials are late based on the Policies, Media Company is not required to guarantee full delivery of the IO. Media Company and Demand Partner will negotiate a resolution if Media Company has received all required Advertising Materials in accordance with Section VIII(a) but fails to commence a campaign on the IO start date.
(c) 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 Demand Partner.
(d) Damaged Creative. If Advertising Materials provided by Demand Partner are damaged, not to Media Company's specifications, or otherwise unacceptable, Media Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Demand Partner within two (2) business days of its receipt of such Advertising Materials. If Demand Partner fails to provide Media Company with Advertising Materials to replace such damaged, non-compliant or otherwise unacceptable Advertising Materials prior to the scheduled start of the media flight, Advertising Materials will be deemed ‘late' pursuant to subsection VIII(b).
(e) No Modification. Media Company will not edit or modify the submitted Ads in any way, including, but not limited to, resizing the Ad, without Demand Partner's approval. Media Company will use all Ads in strict compliance with these Terms and any written instructions provided on the IO.
(f) Ad Tags. When applicable, Third Party Ad Server tags will be implemented so that they are functional in all aspects. All use of Third-Party Ad Server tags shall comply with Media Company's Policies including, without limitation, policies regarding use of tags, cookies and any other technology now known or hereafter developed that is designed to track users' online behaviour or activity as supplied by Media Company from time to time.
(g) Trademark Usage. Media Company, on the one hand, and Demand Partner, on the other, will not use the other's trade name, trademarks, logos, or Ads in any public announcement (including, but not limited to, in any press release) regarding the existence or content of these Terms or an IO without the other's prior written approval.
(h) Policies. For the purposes of Section IX(b), Demand Partner agrees that new and/or amended Policies posted by Media Company from time to time at https://advertising.inmobi.com/content-guidelines-advertisers/, https://advertising.inmobi.com/cookie-policy/ and https://advertising.inmobi.com/privacy-policy/ shall satisfy the requirement to provide prior notice of such Policies to Demand Partner.
IX. INDEMNIFICATION
(a) By Media Company. Media Company will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Demand Partner and each of its Affiliates and Representatives from damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) (collectively, "Losses") resulting from any allegations, actions, causes of action, obligations, demands, threatened claims and claim, judgment, or proceeding (collectively, "Claims") brought by a Third Party and resulting from (i) Media Company's alleged breach of Section XI or of Media Company's representations and warranties in Section XIII(a), or (ii) Advertising Materials provided by Media Company for an Ad (and not by Demand Partner, and/or each of its Affiliates and/or Representatives) ("Media Company Advertising Materials") that: (A) violate any applicable law, regulation, judicial or administrative action, or the right of a Third Party; or (B) are defamatory or obscene. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Media Company will not be liable for any Losses resulting from Claims to the extent that such Claims result from (1) Media Company's customization of Ads or Advertising Materials based upon detailed specifications, materials, or information provided by the Demand Partner, and/or each of its Affiliates and/or Representatives, or (2) a user viewing an Ad outside of the targeting set forth on the IO, which viewing is not directly attributable to Media Company's serving such Ad in breach of such targeting.
(b) By Advertiser. Advertiser will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Media Company and each of its Affiliates and Representatives from Losses resulting from any Claims brought by a Third Party resulting from (i) Advertiser's alleged breach of Section XI or of Advertiser's representations and warranties in Section XIII(a), (ii) Advertiser's violation of Policies (to the extent the terms of such Policies have been provided (e.g., by making such Policies available by providing a URL) via email or other affirmative means, to Demand Partner at least 14 days prior to the violation giving rise to the Claim), or (iii) the content or subject matter of any Ad or Advertising Materials to the extent used by Media Company in accordance with these Terms or an IO. Advertiser shall further indemnify Media Company and each of its Affiliates and Representatives from Losses resulting from any Claims brought by a Third Party resulting from (1) Ads and Advertising Materials provided by Demand Partner to Media Company and posted on a Site, (2) Media Company's use of any content or technology other than an Ad or Advertising Materials that Demand Partner require Media Company to use, (3) the pages and sites to which an Ad or Advertising Materials link, and (4) use of any products sold through an Ad or Advertising Materials or through pages or sites to which they link.
(c) By Agency. Agency represents and warrants that it has the authority as Advertiser's agent to bind Advertiser to these Terms and each IO, and that all of Agency’s actions related to these Terms and each IO will be within the scope of such Agency. Agency will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Media Company and each of its Affiliates and Representatives from Losses resulting from (i) Agency’s alleged breach of the foregoing sentence, or (ii) Claims brought by a Third Party alleging that Agency has breached its express, Agency-specific obligations under Section XI.
(d) 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 acquiesce 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.
X. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
(a) Excluding Demand Partner’s, and Media Company's respective obligations under Section IX, damages that result from a breach of Section XI, or intentional misconduct by Demand Partner, or Media Company, in no event will any party be liable for any consequential, indirect, incidental, punitive, special, or exemplary damages whatsoever, including, but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, business interruption, loss of information, and the like, incurred by another party arising out of an IO, even if such party has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
(b) Except in connection with the indemnification obligation under Section IX(a), Media Company's (including all companies on whose Sites Ads are distributed ("Participating Companies") total cumulative liability to Demand Partner from all causes of action, claims and all theories of liability will be limited to direct damages only and will not, exceed the fees received by Media Company corresponding to the portion of the IO spend for Ads distributed on either (a) Media Company Properties or (b) Affiliate Promotion Properties to the extent such causes(s) of action arise from each such distribution channel, respectively. Participating Companies shall be deemed third party beneficiaries of Advertiser's obligations hereunder including Advertiser's indemnity obligations.
XI. NON-DISCLOSURE, DATA USAGE AND OWNERSHIP, PRIVACY AND LAWS
(a) Definitions and Obligations. "Confidential Information" will include (i) all information marked as "Confidential," "Proprietary," or similar legend by the disclosing party ("Discloser") when given to the receiving party ("Recipient"); and (ii) information and data provided by the Discloser, which under the circumstances surrounding the disclosure should be reasonably deemed confidential or proprietary. Without limiting the foregoing, Discloser and Recipient agree that each Discloser's contribution to IO Details (as defined below) shall be considered such Discloser's Confidential Information. Recipient will protect Confidential Information in the same manner that it protects its own information of a similar nature, but in no event with less than reasonable care. Recipient shall not disclose Confidential Information to anyone except an employee, agent, Affiliate, or third party who has a need to know same, and who is bound by confidentiality and non-use obligations at least as protective of Confidential Information as are those in this section.

(f) In the event Demand Partner transfers any personal data received from InMobi to any third party located outside the EEA, Demand Partner shall (a) ensure such transfer is in compliance with all applicable laws; (b) to the extent applicable, conduct a thorough Data Transfer Impact Assessment (DTIA), in accordance with the applicable legislations in order to identify and minimize the risks arising out of such processing, storage or transfer of the personal data; and (c) restrict any non-compliant data transfers and promptly notify InMobi in case the DTIA assessment exposes any significant risk associated with such transfer.
(g) Where Demand Partner requires any third party including its trackers on its behalf to either receive from Media Company or share with Media Company, any Personal Data, Demand Partner shall remain liable for the acts and omissions of its third parties to the same extent Demand Partner would be liable if it were either receiving/sharing such Personal Data from/with Media Company. Accordingly, Demand Partner agrees to execute appropriate data processing agreements with such third parties.
(h) Additional Definitions. As used herein the following terms shall have the following definitions:
- "User Volunteered Data" is personally identifiable information collected from individual users by Media Company during delivery of an Ad pursuant to the IO, but only where it is expressly disclosed to such individual users that such collection is solely on behalf of Demand Partner.
- "IO Details" are details set forth on the IO but only when expressly associated with the applicable Discloser, including, but not limited to, Ad pricing information, Ad description, Ad placement information, and Ad targeting information.
- "Performance Data" is data regarding a campaign gathered during delivery of an Ad pursuant to the IO (e.g., number of impressions, interactions, and header information), but excluding Site Data or IO Details.
- "Site Data" is any data that is (A) pre-existing Media Company data used by Media Company pursuant to the IO; (B) gathered pursuant to the IO during delivery of an Ad that identifies or allows identification of Media Company, Media Company's Site, brand, content, context, or users as such; or (C) entered by users on any Media Company Site other than User Volunteered Data.
- "Collected Data" consists of IO Details, Performance Data, and Site Data.
- "Repurposing" means retargeting a user or appending data to a non-public profile regarding a user for purposes other than performance of the IO.
- "Aggregated" means a form in which data gathered under an IO is combined with data from numerous campaigns of numerous Demand Partners and precludes identification, directly or indirectly, of a Demand Partner.
(i) Use of Collected Data
- Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any data (including, without limitation, User Volunteered Data, Performance Data and Site Data) collected and used by Demand Partner and any Third Party acting on their behalf or otherwise engaged to render, perform or provide services for Demand Partner in connection with a campaign (including, without limitation, Third Party Ad Servers) is subject to Media Company's prior written approval. Without limiting the foregoing, unless otherwise authorized by Media Company in advance in writing, Demand Partner and any Third Party acting on their behalf or otherwise engaged to render, perform or provide services for Demand Partner in connection with a campaign (including, without limitation, Third Party Ad Servers) may collect and use Collected Data solely for the purpose of performing under the IO and may not collect or use it for any other purpose (including, without limitation, to target or retarget advertisements). Upon reasonable advance notice, Media Company may review documents in the possession of Demand Partner and any Third Party acting on their behalf or otherwise engaged to render, perform or provide services for Demand Partner in connection with a campaign (including, without limitation, Third Party Ad Servers) solely for the purpose of verifying compliance with the foregoing and Demand Partner shall ensure Media Company has reasonable access to all such documents for such purpose. In addition, unless otherwise authorized by Media Company in advance in writing, Demand Partner will not (A) disclose IO Details of Media Company or Site Data to any Affiliate or Third Party (including, without limitation, Third Party Ad Servers) except as set forth in Section XI(h)(iii)."

Media Company may use Collected Data in an Aggregated form generated or collected in connection with the IO (collectively "Permitted Data") for reporting purposes, optimizing network performance, and other legitimate business purposes of Media Company, on the basis that the Permitted Data does not identify Demand Partner and is not used to target based upon Demand Partner's identity."
- Demand Partner, and Media Company (each a "Transferring Party") will require any Third Party or Affiliate used by the Transferring Party in performance of the IO on behalf of such Transferring Party to be bound by confidentiality and non-use obligations at least as restrictive as those on the Transferring Party, unless otherwise set forth in the IO.
- Media Company may collect and store anonymous device identifiers provided by the Demand Partner, solely for the purpose of targeting or retargeting advertisements, unless the Demand Partner prevents collection or storage of the anonymous device identifiers in any applicable IO placed with the Media Company.

All User Volunteered Data is the property of Demand Partner, is subject to the Demand Partner's posted privacy policy, and is considered Confidential Information of Demand Partner. Any other use of such information will be set forth on the IO and signed by both parties. Where User Collected Data constitutes data previously collected by Media Company in connection with user registrations on a Site, Media Company and Demand Partner shall each own such data separately and shall use it in accordance with their respective privacy policy.
(k) Privacy Policies. Demand Partner, and Media Company will post on their respective Web sites their privacy policies and adhere to their privacy policies, which will abide by applicable laws. Failure by Media Company, on the one hand, or Demand Partner, on the other, to continue to post a privacy policy, or non-adherence to such privacy policy, is grounds for immediate cancellation of the IO by the other party.
(l) Compliance with Law. Demand Partner and Media Company will at all times comply with all federal, state, and local laws, ordinances, regulations, and codes which are applicable to their performance of their respective obligations under the IO.
(m) Demand Partner Use of Data. Demand Partner will not: (i) use Collected Data unless Demand Partner is permitted to use such Collected Data, nor (ii) use Collected Data in ways that Demand Partner is not allowed to use such Collected Data. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, the restrictions on Demand Partner in Section XI(h)(i) shall not prohibit Demand Partner from (A) using Collected Data on an Aggregated basis for internal media planning purposes only (but not for Repurposing), or (B) disclosing qualitative evaluations of Aggregated Collected Data to its clients and potential clients, and Media Companies on behalf of such clients or potential clients, for the purpose of media planning.
XII. THIRD PARTY AD SERVING AND TRACKING (Applicable if Third Party Ad Server is used)
(a) Ad Serving and Tracking. Media Company will track delivery through its ad server and, provided that Media Company has approved in writing a Third-Party Ad Server to run on its properties, Demand Partner will track delivery through such Third-Party Ad Server. Demand Partner may not substitute the specified Third-Party Ad Server without Media Company's prior written consent.
(b) Controlling Measurement. If both parties are tracking delivery, the measurement used for invoicing advertising fees under an IO ("Controlling Measurement") will be determined as follows:
- Except as specified in Section XII(b)(iii), the Controlling Measurement will be taken from an ad server that is certified as compliant with the IAB/AAAA Ad Measurement Guidelines (the "IAB/AAAA Guidelines").
- If both ad servers are compliant with the IAB/AAAA Guidelines, the Controlling Measurement will be the Third Party Ad Server if such Third Party Ad Server provides an automated, daily reporting interface which allows for automated delivery of relevant and non-proprietary statistics to Media Company in an electronic form that is approved by Media Company; provided, however, that Media Company must receive access to such interface in the timeframe set forth in Section XII(c), below.
- If neither party's ad server is compliant with the IAB/AAAA Guidelines or the requirements in subparagraph (ii), above, cannot be met, the Controlling Measurement will be based on Media Company's ad server, unless otherwise agreed by Demand Partner and Media Company in writing.
(c) Ad Server Reporting Access. As available, the party responsible for the Controlling Measurement will provide the other party with online or automated access to relevant and non-proprietary statistics from the ad server within one (1) day after campaign launch. The other party will notify the party with Controlling Measurement if such party has not received such access. If such online or automated reporting is not available, the party responsible for the Controlling Measurement will provide placement-level activity reports to the other party in a timely manner, as mutually agreed to by the parties or as specified in Section IV(b), above, in the case of Ads being served by Media Company. If both parties have tracked the campaign from the beginning and the party responsible for the Controlling Measurement fails to provide such access or reports as described herein, then the other party may use or provide its ad server statistics as the basis of calculating campaign delivery for invoicing. Notification may be given that access, such as login credentials or automated reporting functionality integration, applies to all current and future IOs for one or more Demand Partners, in which case new access for each IO is not necessary. Nothing in this Section XII(c) shall limit, replace or nullify any other obligation set forth in this Agreement (including this InMobi Addendum).
(d) Discrepant Measurement. If the difference between the Controlling Measurement and the other measurement exceeds 10% over the invoice period and the Controlling Measurement is lower, the parties will facilitate a reconciliation effort between Media Company and Third-Party Ad Server measurements. If the discrepancy cannot be resolved and a good faith effort to facilitate the reconciliation has been made, Demand Partner reserves the right to either:
- Consider the discrepancy an under-delivery of the Deliverables as described in Section VI(b), whereupon the parties will act in accordance with that Section, including the requirement that Demand Partner and Media Company make an effort to agree upon the conditions of a makegood flight and delivery of any makegood will be measured by the Third-Party Ad Server, or
- Pay invoice based on Controlling Measurement-reported data, plus a 10% upward adjustment to delivery.
(e) Measurement Methodology. Media Company will make reasonable efforts to publish, and Demand Partner will make reasonable efforts to cause the Third-Party Ad Server to publish, a disclosure in the form specified by the AAAA and IAB regarding their respective ad delivery measurement methodologies with regard to compliance with the IAB/AAAA Guidelines.
(f) Third Party Ad Server Malfunction. Where Demand Partner is using a Third-Party Ad Server and that Third Party Ad Server cannot serve the Ad, Demand Partner will have a one-time right to temporarily suspend delivery under the IO for a period of up to 72 hours. Upon written notification by Demand Partner of a non-functioning Third Party Ad Server, Media Company will have 24 hours to suspend delivery. Following that period, Demand Partner will not be held liable for payment for any Ad that runs within the immediately following 72-hour period until Media Company is notified that the Third-Party Ad Server is able to serve Ads. After the 72-hour period passes and Demand Partner has not provided written notification that Media Company can resume delivery under the IO, Demand Partner will pay for the Ads that would have run, or are run, after the 72-hour period but for the suspension, and can elect Media Company to serve Ads until the Third Party Ad Server is able to serve Ads. If Demand Partner does not so elect for Media Company to serve the Ads until Third Party Ad Server is able to serve Ads, Media Company may use the inventory that would have been otherwise used for Media Company's own advertisements or advertisements provided by a Third Party.
(g) Third Party Ad Server Fixed. Upon notification that the Third-Party Ad Server is functioning, Media Company will have 72 hours to resume delivery. Any delay in the resumption of delivery beyond this period, without reasonable explanation, will result in Media Company owing a makegood to Demand Partner.
