Advertising Terms and Conditions

1. Definitions.

As used in this Agreement, the following capitalized terms are defined as follows:

(a) "Advertisement" or "Advertisements" means any and all content and advertising materials, including, but not limited to, copy, text, artwork, designs, video, photography, URLs, music, trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos, and other works or materials provided by Client in connection with Client's purchase of advertising inventory.

(b) "Affiliate" means, as to an entity, any other Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with such entity.

(c) "Insertion Order" or "I/O" means a mutually agreed order or proposal for which the parties' intention is to be legally bound for advertising inventory on the Network that sets forth the material terms of such order or proposal, including, but not limited to (i) the type(s) and amount(s) of advertising inventory to be delivered by Company; (ii) the price(s) or rate(s) for such advertising inventory; (iii) the start and end dates of the advertising campaign; and (iv) any other items or terms agreed to by the Parties (e.g., reporting requirements, any special delivery scheduling and/or placement requirements, and specifications concerning ownership of data collected).

(d)"Network" means the various media platforms (including social media), publications, properties, and programming services owned, operated, and/or controlled by Company, or with respect to which Company has the right to serve Advertisements.

(e) "Person" means any natural person, legal entity (e.g., corporation, limited liability company, etc.), or other association or organized group of natural persons or legal entities, along with the legal successors and representatives of the foregoing.

(f) "Policies" means criteria or specifications for Advertisements made available to Client on the Network, including, but not limited to, content limitations, technical specifications, privacy policies, user experience policies, policies regarding consistency with Company's public image, community standards regarding obscenity, or other editorial or advertising policies, and due dates for Advertisements.

2. Insertion Orders.

Client and Company shall execute an I/O with respect to each purchase of advertising inventory by Client on the Network. These Terms shall apply to and govern each purchase of advertising inventory by Client; provided, however, in the event of any conflict between an I/O and these Terms, the provisions contained in the I/O shall govern and control. Company will make commercially reasonable efforts to notify Client within two (2) business days of receipt of an I/O signed by Client if the specified inventory is not available. Unless otherwise agreed on the I/O, acceptance of the I/O and these Terms will be deemed the earlier of (a) full execution of the I/O by the Parties, or (b) the display of the first advertising impression by Company on the Network as authorized by Client, and the I/O and these Terms shall be in full force and effect thereafter until the complete delivery of all advertising inventory purchased by Client under all I/Os or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 10 hereof (the "Term"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, modifications or revisions to any originally submitted I/O will not be binding unless approved in writing by both Company and Client.

3. Submission and Publication of Advertisements.

(a) Grant of Rights; Reservation of Rights. For the duration of the Term, Advertiser and Agency hereby irrevocably and absolutely grant to Company and Company's Affiliates the non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, sublicensable right

(i) to edit, adapt, reformat, digitize, compress, transcode, record, cache, reproduce, distribute, publish, display, perform, transmit, promote, market, and otherwise use and exploit Advertisements (and all constituent elements thereof) to the extent reasonably required by Company to reproduce, publish, display, and distribute the Advertisements on the Network in accordance with the I/O;

(ii) to use Advertiser's and Agency's names (including all tradenames, trademarks, service marks, and logos) and all Advertisements provided to Company pursuant to this Agreement on Company's customer list and in Company's marketing materials and sales presentations; and

(iii) to use (and permit others to use) any other materials, data, or lists provided to Company by Client as reasonably necessary for Company to perform any advertising services hereunder (including, but not limited to, list-matching in connection with addressable advertising). Included in the foregoing grant of rights is Company's right (A) to place the word "Advertisement", "Sponsored" or words of similar meaning in any Advertisement which Company determines, in its sole discretion, too closely resembles editorial content, and (B) to make basic grammatical and spelling edits to an Advertisement even after it has been submitted by Client. Company shall make commercially reasonable efforts to secure Client's approval subsequent to any grammatical or spelling edits; however, Company's failure to do so shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement by Company.

(b) Submission of Advertisements. Except to the extent created by Company or its contractors, Client shall create and deliver all Advertisements to Company in broadcast quality at Client's sole cost and expense in accordance with this Agreement and Company's current technical specifications, delivery requirements, and Policies (all of which may be updated from time to time), and all of which Company shall make available to Client electronically within three (3) business days after Company's acceptance of an I/O. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing, Advertisements must be delivered to Company no less than five (5) business days prior to the scheduled start date (as set forth in the I/O). Advertisements not in strict compliance with this Agreement shall not be considered "delivered" for purposes hereof. If Company receives Advertisements that are not in compliance with this Agreement, Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Client of the same within two (2) business days after Company's receipt of such Advertisements. If Advertisements are not delivered by the I/O start date, then Company shall begin to charge Client on the I/O start date on a pro rata basis based on the full I/O (excluding portions consisting of performance-based, non-guaranteed inventory) for each full day the Advertisements are not delivered. Company shall not be required to deliver all ordered advertising inventory under a given I/O with respect to Advertisements that are not delivered in accordance with this Agreement.

(c) Non-conforming Advertisements; Content Control. As used in this Agreement, "Non-conforming Advertisement" means any Advertisements or constituent element(s) thereof (including, but not limited to, software code associated with Advertisements e.g. pixels, tags, JavaScript), or websites to which such Advertisements are linked, that, in Company's sole but reasonable determination (i) do not comply with the Policies, or this Agreement; (ii) do not comply with any applicable law, regulation, or other judicial or administrative order, including, but not limited to, consumer protection laws and regulations; or (iii) may tend to bring disparagement, ridicule, or scorn upon Company or any of Company's Affiliates. Company reserves the right at all times, in its sole and absolute discretion, to refuse to distribute, reject, or remove from its Network any Non-conforming Advertisements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in these Advertising Terms and Conditions, and for the avoidance of doubt, Company, in its sole discretion, may determine and deem that Advertisements or constituent element(s) thereof (including, but not limited to, software code associated with Advertisements e.g. pixels, tags, JavaScript), or websites to which such Advertisements are linked are inconsistent with Company’s mission or values are Non-Conforming Advertisements. Upon Company's determination that an Advertisement is a Non-conforming Advertisement, Company shall have the right at any time thereafter as determined by Company, and upon written notice to Client (i) to reject or remove such Non-conforming Advertisement and refund any applicable amounts previously paid by Client in connection therewith, or (ii) postpone running such Non-conforming Advertisement until a reasonable period of time after Client has caused such Advertisement to no longer be non­conforming. Company shall have no liability to Client arising out of or relating to Company's refusal, rejection, or cancellation of Non-conforming Advertisements. Company's acceptance of Non-conforming Advertisements at any time shall not serve as a waiver of Company's right to reject or cancel any such Non-conforming Advertisements in the future. Company reserves the right to demand third-party verification of any claims made in any Advertisement and to terminate this Agreement in the event that such verification is not promptly provided or is unsatisfactory in Company's sole determination. For the avoidance of doubt, Company has no obligation to monitor Advertisements or any material to which users can link through Client's Advertisements ("Linked Content") for compliance with applicable laws or regulations and Company shall have no liability for any violation thereof. Client is solely responsible (and assumes all liability and risk) for determining whether or not such content is appropriate or acceptable.

(d) Change Orders. Company requires at least forty-eight (48) hours to incorporate any changes requested by Client to a particular Advertisement. Once an Advertisement has been submitted to Company, Client is prohibited from changing any aspect of such Advertisement, including any Linked Content, without Company's prior consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.

(e) Rescheduling. Client understands that Company is a news agency and that breaking news and other events may warrant cancellations of Advertisements on the Network. In the event Company cancels an advertising deliverable without notice, Company will make reasonable efforts to reschedule such advertising deliverable for a later time and date.

(f) Custom Material. Client shall not publish or otherwise use or exploit any Advertisement which includes Custom Material (as defined in Section 10(a)) outside of Company's Network without Company's prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed).

(g) Press Releases. Neither Party shall issue any public announcement or press release concerning this Agreement or Client's Advertisements unless mutually agreed by the Parties in writing.

4. Payment; Billing.

Company shall invoice Client for the services and advertising inventory delivered on a monthly basis with the net cost (i.e., the cost after subtracting any agency commission) based on actual delivery, flat-fee, or prorated distribution of delivery over the term of the I/O, as specified on the I/O. Invoices will be sent to the billing address provided on the I/O and will include Information reasonably specified by Client, such as the I/O number, Advertiser name, brand name or campaign name, and any number or other identifiable reference stated as required for invoicing on the I/O. Client shall pay each invoice in full in immediately available funds by check, wire, ACH, or credit card, within thirty (30) days after Client's receipt of each invoice, or as otherwise stated in a payment schedule set forth on the I/O, without any deduction or right of set-off or counterclaim. Interest shall be assessed on late payments at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month (or, if less, the highest rate permitted by law). All payments shall be sent to Company at Company's address provided on the I/O. Timely payment is of the essence of this Agreement. Company shall have the right to terminate this Agreement if Company does not receive timely payment. In the event Advertiser's or Agency's credit is or becomes impaired, Company shall have the right to require payment in advance.

5. Reporting.

On or before the first Monday following the initial broadcast week of the campaign stated on the I/O, Company shall provide confirmation to Client, either electronically or otherwise, stating whether the components of the I/O have begun delivery. Thereafter, and upon Client's request, Company shall provide proof of performance for the invoiced period, which may include access to online or electronic reporting. Reports will be broken out by day, delivery method, and summarized by creative execution, content area (ad placement), impressions, clicks, spend/cost, opens, and other variables as may be defined on the I/O (e.g. keywords). Upon Client's request, Company shall include verifications of performance with monthly invoices issued hereunder, but the furnishing and accuracy of such verifications shall not be a condition precedent to Client's obligation to timely pay any such invoice. Company shall not be liable to Agency or Advertiser for, and Company makes no representations or warranties with respect to, such verifications, except that such verifications shall accurately reflect the internal log for the system/platform on which the advertising was distributed.

6. Representations and Warranties of Client.

Each of Advertiser and Agency hereby jointly and severally represents, warrants, and covenants to Company as follows:

(iii) shall not include personal attacks, or attacks based on an individual's race, national origin, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or other condition or circumstance.

The indemnifying Party hereunder shall have the right to select counsel and control the defense of any such Claim, subject to the right of the indemnitee(s) (whether Client or any of the Company Indemnitees, as the case may be), to participate therein. The indemnifying Party will not settle or resolve any Claim in a manner that imposes any liability or obligation on the indemnitee(s) or affects the indemnitee(s)'rights in connection therewith without the prior written approval of the indemnitee(s), which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. Each indemnifying Party hereunder shall reimburse the indemnitee(s) on demand for any Losses arising at any time after the Effective Date for which the indemnification obligations hereunder apply.

9. Breach; Remedies.

Neither Party will be deemed to be in breach of this Agreement unless and until the non-breaching Party gives the other Party specific written notice of the nature of such breach and the Party in breach fails to cure such breach within five (5) business days after receipt of such written notice; provided, however, if such breach is of the nature that it cannot reasonably be cured within such period, the Party in breach will be afforded such additional time as reasonably necessary to cure such breach, provided the Party in breach promptly commences such remedial action and diligently pursues such action to completion. Each Party's rights and remedies under this Agreement are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies which may now or subsequently exist at law or in equity.

10. Cancellation and Termination.

(a) Without Cause. Unless designated on the I/O as non-cancelable, (x) Company has the right to cancel the entire I/O, or any portion thereof, upon five (5) business days’ written notice (including email) to Client and (y) Client has the right to cancel the entire I/O, or any portion thereof, upon written notice (including email) to Company subject to the cancellation charges with respect to each type of advertising format in Sections 18 (a)-(d) hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement and without limiting cancellation charges set forth in Section 18, Client shall remain liable to Company for (i) amounts due for any custom content or development provided to Client or completed by Company or its third-party vendor ("Custom Material") prior to the effective date of termination/cancellation, which shall become immediately due and payable by Client and (ii) amounts due under the I/O for all services and advertisements that have been performed, completed or delivered (as authorized on the applicable I/O) through the effective date of termination/cancellation, or if no amount is specified on the I/O for such services, then a pro-rated amount based off the full amount owed under the I/O, which shall become immediately due and payable by Client. For I/Os that contemplate the provision or creation of Custom Material, Company will specify the amounts due for such Custom Material as a separate line item.

(b) For Cause. Company and Client shall each have the right to terminate an I/O at any time upon written notice (including email) to the other Party if the other Party is in breach of this Agreement under Section 9 hereof. In addition, Company shall have the right to terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice thereof in the event either Advertiser or Agency becomes insolvent, makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, is adjudged bankrupt, or if a receiver is appointed for Advertiser's or Agency's property or business, if Advertiser or Agency files a petition seeking relief under any bankruptcy act, or if a petition is filed against Advertiser or Agency under any such act. In the event of termination of this Agreement by Company pursuant to this Section 10(b), Client agrees that the balance of the total contract sum set forth on the I/O(s) which has not been paid as of the date of termination shall become immediately due and payable by Client.

11. Makegoods.

As used in this Agreement, "Makegoods" means a rerun or rebroadcast of an Advertisement that was previously cancelled by Company or was not published due solely to Company's error. Company will monitor delivery of Client's Advertisements, and will notify Client in writing as soon as commercially practicable if Company believes that an under-delivery of guaranteed deliverables is likely. In the event actual deliverables for any campaign fall below guaranteed levels as set forth on the I/O, and/or if there is an omission of any Advertisement (placement or creative unit) attributable solely to Company's error, then Company shall in good faith arrange for a Makegood within a commercially reasonable period of time thereafter, and this will be Company's sole liability and Client's sole recourse in connection with such cancelled or non­published Advertisements. For avoidance of doubt, Client shall not be entitled to Makegoods where under-delivery of guaranteed deliverables is the result of a third-party error or omission. No Makegoods will be provided with respect to performance advertising inventory (i.e., non-guaranteed deliverables), as the predictability, forecasting, and conversions for such advertising deliverables vary and, therefore, delivery, or any delivery, is impossible to guarantee.

12. Disclaimer.

EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT, COMPANY'S SERVICES HEREUNDER AND ITS NETWORK ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS-IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, AND COMPANY DOES NOT MAKE AND HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, RESPECTING COMPANY'S SERVICES AND THE NETWORK, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO (A) ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE; (B) WARRANTIES AS TO THE QUALITY OR PERFORMANCE OF THE NETWORK IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT INCLUDING THE DELIVERY OR AVAILABILITY OF ADVERTISEMENTS; AND (C) WARRANTIES OR GUARANTEES OF CONVERSION RATES, PAY-UP RATES, RESPONSE RATES, OR ABILITY TO CONVERT RESPONSES TO ADVERTISEMENTS INTO SALES. COMPANY MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY (i) THAT ANY PUBLICATION OF AN ADVERTISEMENT WILL BE LIMITED TO PERSONS RESIDING IN ANY PARTICULAR GEOGRAPHICAL REGION OR LEGAL JURISDICTION; (ii) AS TO THE EXACT NUMBER OF PAGE IMPRESSIONS THAT WILL BE DELIVERED ON SPECIFIC DATES DURING AN ONLINE CAMPAIGN; OR (iii) AS TO THE QUALITY OF REPRODUCTIONS OF ADVERTISEMENTS ON THE NETWORK. THE LIMITATIONS, EXCLUSIONS, AND DISCLAIMERS CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL APPLY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

13. Limitation of Liability.

IN NO EVENT WILL COMPANY OR COMPANY'S AFFILIATES WILL BE LIABLE TO CLIENT FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUES, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES. THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS ARE APPLICABLE NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

Company assumes no responsibility or liability for or in connection with (a) any error or omission in the insertion of any Advertisement; (b) any damage or loss of any copy, electronic files, data, or other materials supplied by Client in connection with Advertisements; (c) any downtime of the Network; or (d) any action or inaction by any third party in connection with Client's Advertisements. In no event will Company's aggregate liability with respect to any claims or matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement exceed the sum of monies actually received by Company from Client under this Agreement during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the date on which such claim arises. Client acknowledges that Company would not enter into this Agreement without the limitations on liability contained herein.

14. Force Majeure.

Excluding payment obligations, neither Party will be liable for any delay or failure in the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement to the extent such Party is unable to perform due to any Force Majeure Event. As used in this Agreement, "Force Majeure Event" means any Act of God; fire, flood, earthquake, or other natural disaster; war, riot, or order of governmental authority; labor dispute or any order, regulation, ruling, or action of any labor union; delays in the delivery of materials and supplies or the general unavailability of materials; casualties, accidents, illness or incapacity; power failures; failure of computer systems, networks, or other equipment; delays by the other Party in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement; or any other cause beyond a Party's reasonable control (and without such Party's negligence) which prevents such Party from performing in a timely manner under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Force Majeure Event continues in excess of ten (10) business days, then each Party shall each have the right to cancel the remainder of the I/O without penalty upon written notice to the other Party.

15. Confidentiality; Non-disclosure.

As used in this Agreement, "Confidential Information" means all nonpublic information concerning or relating to the business, operations, intellectual property, and financial condition of a Party and its Affiliates (regardless of the form in which such information appears) and specifically includes (a) all information marked as "confidential," "proprietary," or with a similar legend by the disclosing Party (the "Discloser" ) when given to the receiving Party (the "Recipient" ); (b) all information and data provided by the Discloser, which under the circumstances surrounding the disclosure should be reasonably understood to be confidential; (c) all performance, viewer, usage, and other similar data provided by Company to Client in connection with this Agreement; and (d) the terms of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Discloser and Recipient agree that each Discloser's contribution to details provided on the I/O 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 use Discloser's Confidential Information for any purpose other than as specifically provided in this Agreement and shall not disclose Discloser's Confidential Information to anyone except an employee, agent, or Affiliate who has a need to know such information, and who is bound by confidentiality and non-disclosure restrictions at least as protective of Confidential Information as are those in this Section. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, "Confidential Information" does not include information which (a) was previously known to Recipient; (b) was or becomes generally available to the public through no fault or breach of this Agreement by Recipient; (c) was rightfully in Recipient's possession free of any obligation of confidentiality at, or prior to, the time it was communicated to Recipient by Discloser; (d) was developed by employees or agents of Recipient independently of, and without reference to, Discloser's Confidential Information; or (e) was communicated by Discloser to an unaffiliated third party free of any obligation of confidentiality. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Recipient may disclose Confidential Information of the Discloser in response to a valid order by a court or other governmental body, as otherwise required by law or the rules of any applicable securities exchange, or as necessary to establish or enforce the rights of either Party under this Agreement; provided, however, that both Discloser and Recipient will stipulate to any orders necessary to protect such information from public disclosure.

16. Privacy.

Each Party shall post on its respective website its privacy policy and shall adhere to such policy, which shall be in accordance with applicable laws. In the event either Party fails to either continue to post a privacy policy or to adhere to such policy, the other Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon written notice thereof to the other Party. Client represents and warrants that engaging Company's services hereunder in connection with Advertisements shall not violate Advertiser's or Agency's privacy policy.

17. Non-disparagement.

Each Party covenants and agrees to not make any disparaging, critical, or otherwise negative remarks, statements, or comments of any kind, either verbally or in writing, to any third party about the other Party or its Affiliates and/or the respective services or personnel of such Party and its Affiliates where such remarks, statements, or comments are intended or could reasonably be expected to injure the reputation and/or business of such Party and/or its Affiliates. This Section shall not apply to statements made under oath by a Party's officers, directors, shareholders, or employees if such Party is compelled to testify pursuant to the operation of law, subpoena, court order, administrative action or regulation, or for taxation purposes.

18. Terms Governing Specific Forms of Advertising Campaigns.

This Section 18 contains certain terms and conditions that apply to specific forms of advertising campaigns. To the extent such terms conflict with any other provisions of these Terms, the terms contained in this Section 18 govern and control.

(i) Each Advertisement must comply with the CAN-SPAM Act, which requires (A) the Advertisement to be conspicuously identified as an advertisement or solicitation; (B) the Advertisement to include a physical mailing address for the sender of the message; (C) a "from" line on all email transmissions that clearly and accurately identifies the party whose products or services are promoted in the email; (D) a subject line that is reasonably related to the subject matter of the Advertisement; and (E) a clear, conspicuous, and functioning electronic mechanism by which the recipient of the email can request to not receive future commercial email messages from the sender.

(iii) Company shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to provide Advertiser's suppression list to Company's Affiliates for the purpose of complying with the CAN-SPAM Act, and Company shall have no liability to Advertiser in connection with the same.

(iv) Company does not guarantee specific send times for email Advertisements, and reserves the right to adjust and determine send times in its sole and absolute discretion. Further, Company does not guarantee results for email Advertisements, including but not limited to opens or clicks.

(v) If Client has agreed to an advertising rate based on cost per thousand impressions (CPM), then Company shall include with its invoice to Client a computation of the manner in which Company has determined the CPM rate for such email broadcast and the total amount due from Client. Company's count shall be final in any dispute regarding total emails sent and/or delivered.

(vi) If Client cancels or reschedules any email advertising campaign less than four (4) business days prior to the scheduled launch date, then Client shall pay Company a cancellation charge equal to (A) twenty-five percent (25%) of the amount cancelled under the I/O if notice of three (3) business days is given; (B) fifty percent (50%) of the amount cancelled under the I/O if notice of two (2) business days is given; and (C) eighty percent (80%) of the amount cancelled under the I/O if notice of less than one (1) business day is given.

(b) Online Advertising on the Network. If Client's Advertisements are to be published online to the Company's Network (excluding via email), then the following provisions apply:
