6. SERVICE.

Approved Publishers shall be permitted to participate in the Program and receive served Audio from SiteSpeaker for publication on Publisher’s Website(s) and/or Property(ies). SiteSpeaker will specify the amount and terms under which You will earn payment (“Bounties”). Bounties are generated from a specified transaction (“Action”) as defined by SiteSpeaker. Actions can include, without limitation, clicks, click-throughs, sales, registrations, impressions and leads. The applicable Action associated with each campaign and/or Your account shall be set forth in the applicable terms listed on the SiteSpeaker Network and, unless otherwise specified, such shall be subject to change at the sole and absolute discretion of SiteSpeaker. If You accept Audio to run on your Website(s), You agree to adhere to any specific policies, procedures, and specifications associated with those Articles, and operate at all times in accordance with the Agreement. SiteSpeaker may, at its sole discretion, change the Audio or the terms of a campaign at any time, without prior notice to You, unless otherwise specified. Similarly, You may cease participation in the Program at any time, unless otherwise specified in this Agreement or other terms associated with the campaign. SiteSpeaker is responsible for displaying and administrating the Program and tracking associated Bounties and Actions. Program data compiled by SiteSpeaker including, but not limited to, numbers and calculations regarding Actions and associated Bounties (“Program Data”), will be calculated by SiteSpeaker through the use of tracking technology and shall be final and binding on You. Any questions regarding the Program Data must be submitted in writing seven (7) days of initial appearance in the tracking system; otherwise the Program Data will be deemed to be accurate and accepted by You. Publisher understands and agrees that on occasion the Service and/or SiteSpeaker Network may be inaccessible, unavailable or inoperable for any reason, including, but not limited to, the following: (i) equipment malfunctions; (ii) periodic maintenance procedures or repairs; or (iii) causes beyond the control of SiteSpeaker or which are not reasonably foreseeable by SiteSpeaker including, but not limited to, interruption or failure of telecommunication or digital transmission links, hostile network attacks, the unavailability, operation, or inaccessibility of websites or interfaces, network congestion or other failures. Publisher acknowledges and agrees that SiteSpeaker has no control over the availability of the Program, Services, and SiteSpeaker Network on a continuous or uninterrupted basis. Terms of the Agreement are subject to SiteSpeaker hardware, software, and bandwidth traffic limitations. SiteSpeaker’s failure to deliver because of technical difficulties does not represent a failure to meet the obligations of the Agreement.

7. TERMS OF PAYMENT.

You agree to be paid the applicable Bounty rate for each Action verified by SiteSpeaker as specified by SiteSpeaker approximately forty-five (45) days after the last day of a given calendar month, for Bounties realized in that month, subject to a reduction based on SiteSpeaker’s expenses associated with the delivery of any traffic to advertisers which would have otherwise been blocked by ad block software. You agree that payment for Bounties will be owed to You from the applicable Advertiser, and that corresponding payments shall be made by SiteSpeaker to You out of the funds actually collected by SiteSpeaker from the applicable Advertiser. SiteSpeaker shall have no payment obligation to Publisher where Advertiser has not remitted sufficient payments to cover the Bounties otherwise due and owing Publisher. All Publisher accounts will be paid in United States dollars ($US). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no Bounty payments will be issued for any amounts otherwise due Publisher that total less than Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) (“Payment Threshold”). Upon termination of the Agreement, all legitimate moneys due to Publisher that are actually collected from the applicable Advertiser, even amounts below the Payment Threshold, will be paid during the next billing cycle. Every Publisher account must have a unique, valid taxpayer identification number (TIN), valid Social Security Number, or other applicable unique government identification. All payments due hereunder shall be in U.S. dollars and are exclusive of any applicable taxes. Publisher is responsible for all applicable taxes (including without limitation VAT) with respect to Payments received from SiteSpeaker and will on request provide a VAT invoice for any payments made to it by SiteSpeaker if so requested by SiteSpeaker.

An Advertiser may request that SiteSpeaker, or SiteSpeaker may on its own initiative, debit from the Bounties otherwise due and owing Publisher an amount equal to a Bounty previously credited to Publisher’s account where: (a) a return or cancellation has been made with respect to the applicable product and/or service; (b) there is an instance of a duplicate, fraudulent or incomplete entry or other similar error with respect to a customer order; (c) there are Actions that do not comply fully with the terms of the Agreement, including where the applicable non-complying Action is not the result of Publisher’s action, omission and/or failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the Agreement; (d) there is non-receipt of payment from, or refund of payment to, the customer that entered into the subject Action; or (e) there is any failure on the part of Publisher to comply with the Agreement and/or the applicable Program Terms (collectively referred to as a “Chargeback”). Chargebacks requested by an Advertiser in accordance with this Section may be applied up to one hundred and twenty (120) days after the end of the month in which the applicable Bounty was earned (“Chargeback Period”). An Advertiser may request that the payment of a Bounty be postponed for one (1) payment cycle where: (i) Advertiser is verifying a lead (for Programs in which lead generation is a component of the Action); (ii) Advertiser has a product return policy that allows the underlying purchaser to return the product during the Chargeback Period; or (iii) the applicable Program Terms provide for such a postponement. The number or amount of Actions, credits for payments and debits for Chargebacks, as calculated by SiteSpeaker, shall be final and binding on Publisher. The parties expressly acknowledge, confirm, and agree that, at all times during Your participation in the Program, SiteSpeaker specifically reserves the right to determine whether purported impressions and/or other Actions are in fact valid and give rise to SiteSpeaker payment obligations pursuant to these Terms and Conditions and the terms of any applicable Insertion Order(s). This determination shall be made at SiteSpeaker’s sole and absolute discretion, and may be made in consideration of the geographic location of users or any other factors deemed relevant by SiteSpeaker in making such determination. Definition of Revenue for Revenue Share Arrangements: In the event the parties agree to a revenue share arrangement, SiteSpeaker will pay you a revenue share based on “Net Revenue” which is defined as the gross revenue received by SiteSpeaker as a result of valid clicks, less adjustments for chargebacks, commissions, direct cost charged to SiteSpeaker by third party providers, discounts allowed, refunds and administrative fees, and bad debt deductions.

8. FRAUD.

SiteSpeaker actively monitors traffic, Actions, Bounties and other Program-related activities for potential fraud. If SiteSpeaker suspects that Your account has been used in a fraudulent manner, Your account will be deactivated effective immediately and with no notice to You pending further investigation. If You add Actions, or inflate Actions, through the use of fraudulent means of traffic generation, as determined solely by SiteSpeaker, You will forfeit all of the Bounties related to that Program, and Your Publisher account will be terminated effective immediately. SiteSpeaker reserves sole judgment in determining fraud and You agree to be bound by any and all such determinations. It is the OBLIGATION of Publisher to prove to SiteSpeaker that it has NOT engaged in fraud. SiteSpeaker will hold Your Bounty-related payments in 'Pending Status' until You have satisfactorily provided evidence that demonstrates to SiteSpeaker that You have not engaged in fraud. If You are unable to provide SiteSpeaker with satisfactory evidence that You have not engaged in fraud within seven (7) days of Your Bounties being placed in “Pending Status,” then SiteSpeaker reserves the right to terminate Your Publisher account and cancel payment on the applicable Bounties, at its sole discretion and without any further obligations to You.  The Publisher agrees not to:

• obscure the Advertising Platform’s Content or SiteSpeaker’s Ad Units;
• minimize, remove or otherwise inhibit the full and complete display of the advertising materials;
• artificially inflate clicks or impressions ;
• use any non-human impressions, including crawlers and parsers;
• restrict access in any way to the Publisher URL(s) which contain or should reasonably contain SiteSpeaker Ad Unit(s); and
• use any auto-refresh functions for additional revenue accrual.

8.1 If the Advertising Platform reasonably determines that the Publisher engaged in Traffic Fraud, the Publisher must provide adequate evidence to sufficiently disproves any indicia of Traffic Fraud. The Advertising Platform’s determination of the fraudulency of delivered impressions shall be final thereby absolving the Advertising Platform from its responsibility for making payments on the fraudulent impressions. If the Advertising Platform had already paid for internet traffic later determined to be fraudulent, the Advertising Platform may use the already paid amount against future fees owed to the Publisher.

8.2 The Publisher agrees not to employ any mechanism(s) to cloak, hide, or obscure in any way the place of origination of impressions referred to the Publisher URL(s). Any misrepresentation of the place of origination of impressions referred to the Publishers URL(s) shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement.

• infringe, promote infringement or violation of any third-party’s intellectual property rights or any other third-party’s rights; and
• violate United States economic sanctions or trade restrictions.
• Any violation of this section relating to the content or the Recommendations deployed on any Publisher URL(s) constitutes a material breach of this Agreement.

8.4 The Advertising Platform reserves the right to disable Publisher’s URL(s) with or without any perquisite warning if the Publisher breaches Section 4.4 (relating to content or Recommendations deployed on any Publisher URL(s)) of this Complete Agreement. The Advertising Platform reserves the right to suspend any payments to the Publisher until Section 8.4 violation of the Complete Agreement is completely cured.

8.5 The process of delivery of Advertising Platform’s Recommendations via SiteSpeaker’s Ad Unit(s) to the Publisher URL(s) is an indivisible product. The Publisher may not employ any mechanism(s), software, browser extension(s) or application(s) on the Publisher URL(s) to interfere, augment, or change in any way the indivisible product provided by the Advertising Platform of delivery of the Recommendations via SiteSpeaker’s Ad Unit(s) to the Publisher URL(s).

26. MISCELLANEOUS.

This Complete Agreement constitutes the complete and exclusive understanding and agreement between the parties regarding the subject matter herein and supersedes all prior agreements or understandings, written or oral, relating to its subject matter. The Advertising Platform and the Publisher agree to use their respective best, diligent and good faith efforts to fulfill all their obligations under the Complete Agreement. The Advertising Platform and the Publisher recognize however, that to effectuate all the purposes of the Complete Agreement, it may be necessary either to enter into future agreements or to modify the Complete Agreement or both, specifically with the use of future Insertion Order(s). For example, and without limitation, the Advertising Platform and the Publisher agree that as technology and needs of parties develop, they may desire to expand this Complete Agreement to cover the changes. In such event, the Parties agree to cooperate with each other in good faith to properly execute amendments to this Complete Agreement.

The failure of either the Advertising Platform or the Publisher to enforce strict performance of any of the provision of the Complete Agreement or failure to exercise any right under the Complete Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of that party’s right under the Complete Agreement.

The Advertising Platform shall have a right to withhold and offset any payments owed to the Publisher under the Complete Agreement against any current or future sums the Publisher owns to the Advertising Platform under present or any other present or future agreement.

Should any section or part of a section within the Complete Agreement be rendered void or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction shall not have an impact on the enforceability or validity of any other clause or a part of clause. Any unenforceable or invalid clause shall be regarded as removed from this Complete Agreement to the extent of its unenforceability and invalidity. Therefore, this Complete Agreement shall be interpreted and enforced as if it did not contain the said clause to the extent of its unenforceability and invalidity.

All notices under the Complete Agreement shall be in writing and either delivered by personal service, by confirmed email, by express courier, or by certified mail with return receipt requested to the address of the receiving party as set forth in the Insertion Order(s) or at such address as may be designated by the Advertising Platform and the Publisher via written notice to the other party or via the SiteSpeaker Dashboard. All notices under this Complete Agreement will be effective upon receipt.

During the Term of Agreement, the Advertising Platform may provide recommended privacy policy or disclosure language to the Publisher. The Publisher acknowledges that it shall not rely on such recommended language as, or as a substitute for, legal advice and that Publisher itself is solely responsible for any disclosures in its privacy policy or on its Publisher URL(s).

The Complete Agreement creates an independent contract relationship between the Advertising Platform and the Publisher, and neither party will be deemed to be an employee, agent, partner, or legal representative of the other. Neither Advertising Platform nor the Publisher will have any right, power or authority to create any obligation or responsibility on behalf of the other unless explicitly stated in this Complete Agreement.

This Complete Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which will be considered to be an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument
