(a) From time to time, Advertiser may direct ReachYield to run Campaigns which have been approved by Advertiser pursuant to this Agreement. Ad Units shall generally be displayed across the Network on or within ReachYield or third party creative content, unless Advertiser opts out of a Network in the manner specified by ReachYield. Additionally, users may be redirected by ReachYield and/or its publishers to the Advertising Content via direct navigation. For example purposes only, and without limitation to other examples that may apply, if Advertiser bids on the category “car insurance,” when an end user clicks on a car insurance link on a participating ReachYield or publisher website or clicks on car insurance creative in an email, the user may be redirected to Advertiser’s website.
(b) All requested URL links, category choices, descriptions and bids are subject to ReachYield’s approval. ReachYield reserves the right to reject, cancel or remove any Advertising Content, URL link, website to which an Ad Unit is linked, category selection(s), terms, descriptions and bids at any time for any reason whatsoever and ReachYield, its employees, consultants and other agents shall have no liability for such decisions.

SUCH MODIFICATIONS MAY HAVE AN ADVERSE IMPACT ON THE QUALITY OF CLICKS, ACTIONS, IMPRESSIONS, INSTALLS, OR OTHER PAYABLE EVENT UNTIL EACH UPDATE IS ASSESSED, PERFECTED OR REJECTED IN ReachYield’S SOLE DISCRETION.

Payment


Advertiser shall pay for all charges incurred by Advertiser in connection with Advertiser’s Campaign. Unless otherwise set forth in an Insertion Order or an Addendum, the amounts owed are measured by tracking reports prepared by ReachYield, and Advertiser understands and agrees that such reports shall be sole measure of the amounts owed. Without limitation to the foregoing, if ReachYield grants Advertiser access to third party tracking reports, Advertiser understands and agrees that access to such reports is provided only for purposes of estimating amounts owed. Advertiser agrees to make timely payment to ReachYield regardless of whether Advertiser receives payment from its client, customer or any other third party. Advertiser acknowledges and agrees that Advertiser may be charged an amount up to ten percent (10%) more than Advertiser’s monthly Campaign budget for charges incurred resulting from the time it takes to effectively cease further payable events.
Unless otherwise agreed in an Insertion Order or an Addendum, Advertiser’s full payment for each Campaign is due prior to commencement of the Campaign and may be made through ACH, wire transfer or any major credit card, unless otherwise required by ReachYield. Advertiser shall pay for all charges in US Dollars, unless otherwise agreed in writing by ReachYield. A non-refundable deposit of $500 (or other amount specified by ReachYield, in its sole and absolute discretion) to cover set-up costs may be required by ReachYield to initiate services to Advertiser. If Advertiser is offered and selects an auto-replenish feature, Advertiser hereby authorizes ReachYield to charge Advertiser’s credit card for the predetermined amount set by Advertiser. If ReachYield is unable to charge Advertiser’s credit card, ReachYield may, in its sole discretion and in addition to any other remedies available to it under this Agreement and any and all Laws, suspend or terminate Advertiser’s account.
Advertiser shall be responsible for the payment of any and all charges and/or fees incurred by ReachYield from any credit chargeback due to improper credit card information provided to ReachYield. ReachYield may, in its sole discretion, extend, limit, revise, or revoke credit terms to Advertiser, which may include, but not be limited to, requiring a parent guaranty. Advertiser understands and agrees that if Advertiser is past due in payments owed to ReachYield under this Agreement,
(i) such past due payments shall accrue interest at the rate of 1.5% per month or the highest rate permitted by law, if less,
(ii) all costs of collection, including but not limited to reasonable attorney’s fees, court costs and related expenses, shall be borne by Advertiser, and,
(iii) ReachYield may offset that amount from any payment otherwise owed by ReachYield or any parent, subsidiary, or affiliate of ReachYield to Advertiser or any parent, subsidiary, or affiliate of Advertiser. Advertiser is responsible for and shall pay all Taxes in connection with Advertiser’s performance hereunder. Payments due under this Agreement are exclusive of Taxes, unless otherwise agreed in writing by ReachYield.
If Advertiser selects a CPC-based Network, payment obligation is based solely on the number of clicks and redirects multiplied by the amount Advertiser bid to pay for each click or redirect and not Advertiser’s ability to convert clicks or redirects to sales, registrations or other user actions. When Advertiser is the winning bidder for the display on the Network of Advertiser’s Ad Unit, the winning CPC bid price may be below Advertiser’s maximum CPC bid price, and shall not exceed Advertiser’s maximum CPC bid price, unless otherwise approved by Advertiser.
If Advertiser selects a CPA or CPI-based Network, Advertiser shall pay ReachYield the CPA and/or CPI amount agreed by Advertiser for each Action and/or Install recorded by tracking pixel. Advertiser understands that it must place the tracking pixel and that ReachYield is not responsible for such placement. Advertiser shall (1) pay for each fired pixel (e.g., even if Advertiser later determines the pixel was not placed on the appropriate page), and (2) be responsible for any tracking error which occurs as a result of Advertiser’s action or inaction in performance of this Agreement (by way of example and not by way of limitation, if Advertiser accidentally causes a pixel to activate or otherwise confirm a transaction, it shall be liable to pay for each resulting action). With respect to payments for CPA-based lead generating services, an invalid lead shall be a lead generated with:
(i) inaccurate personal information;
(ii) personal information which cannot be confirmed;
(iii) inaccurate credit card information; or,
(iv) a bot, script or any means other than a living human being with a bona fide intent to provide data about him or herself.
If Advertiser selects (i) a CPU or CPV-based Network, Advertiser shall pay ReachYield the CPU and/or CPV amount agreed by Advertiser for each user and/or view recorded, and (ii) a CPM-based Network, Advertiser shall pay ReachYield the CPM amount agreed by Advertiser for each impression. Any demand for a chargeback, credit or refund for a product or Network service shall be tendered in writing to ReachYield
(i) for prepaid accounts, within thirty (30) calendar days after the charge occurred,
(ii) for invoiced accounts, within thirty (30) calendar days after payment due date, or,
(iii) if applicable, the period specified in the respective Addendum or Insertion Order.
Any demand for a chargeback, credit or refund for a product or Network service may be investigated by ReachYield, and ReachYield shall not be obligated to chargeback, credit or refund after the period referenced in the immediately preceding sentence. Advertiser shall promptly pay all amounts billed and invoiced by ReachYield, notwithstanding Advertiser’s challenge to some or all of a particular invoice, and shall promptly and reasonably cooperate with any investigation undertaken by ReachYield in connection with payment(s) for services hereunder. ReachYield may issue to Advertiser a credit or refund, as it deems appropriate in its sole discretion. Advertiser understands that investigations may take several weeks to complete. Requests for information may include but not be limited to sub-IDs, IP address, and in the case of a lead challenged as being invalid, all information which was submitted in the lead form. Advertising credits provided by ReachYield shall expire, and be forfeited, upon the earlier to occur of:
(1) termination or expiration of this Agreement or the applicable Insertion Order or Addendum, or
(2) six (6) months after issuance by ReachYield.
Advertising credits are non-refundable and may only be used for advertising in the Network for which such credits were issued.

Waiver

Severability

Your WHOIS registration information must contain a valid name and physical address. If a PO Box is used the registrant name must match the PO Box owner’s name.
(b) All email header information must not be false or misleading. In the “From Line” of all emails, you must always identify yourself as the sender (either your company name or a registered DBA).

(g) The Opt-out link in each email must remain active for a minimum of thirty days after you send an email.
(h) You must not charge a fee, require the use of a CAPTCHA, or require any personally identifying information beyond an email address from the recipient for the recipient to Opt-out.
