The following terms and conditions (this "Agreement")
is a legal agreement between RevenueFOX ("RevenueFOX"), and
PUBLISHER. PUBLISHER and RevenueFOX may also be individually referred
to herein as a "Party" and collectively as
"Parties." If there is any conflict between these Terms and
Conditions and the Insertion Order(s), the Insertion Order(s) shall
control.
1.) Service: PUBLISHER will display the
Advertisement and perform lead generation services described in the
attached Insertion Order. "Advertisement" means the
advertisement, including any copy including questions and or text ads,
graphic, sound, video, programming code and/or other content that
comprises the advertisement, as well as the websites to which an
advertisement is linked if applicable. RevenueFOX hereby grants
to PUBLISHER during the Contract Period a non-exclusive, royalty-free,
worldwide right and license by all means and in any media, whether now
known or hereafter discovered, to use, reproduce, distribute, publicly
perform, publicly display and digitally perform such Advertisement and
all its constituent parts.
2.) Qualified Lead Definition (Qualified
Leads): Qualified Leads are prospects who meet RevenueFOX’s
screening criteria as described in the Insertion Order and who provide
their complete contact data. PUBLISHER will be paid on a
delivered per lead basis defined as when a user agrees through a pre
approved opt-in method to be contacted. In the case of any
dispute between the parties as to the number of Qualified Leads,
RevenueFOX’s numbers will control.
3.) Lead Validation Procedure:
RevenueFOX will verify each Qualified Lead delivered by the
PUBLISHER. Upon receipt, all Qualified Leads will be checked for
data validity (i.e. containing valid data inputs for the fields
specified in the Insertion Order) and uniqueness of data (i.e. that
the Qualified Leads are not present in RevenueFOX’s database for
the designated Advertisement in the past 60 days). RevenueFOX
reserves the right to send an auto-responder to all respondents
re-confirming their request for information. Any
objections from respondents (about the email, or the offer) will be
raised to the PUBLISHER.
4.) Creative Changes: Editing of
RevenueFOX’s Creative is strictly prohibited, without prior
written approval from RevenueFOX. Creative includes, but is not
limited to, text ads, graphic ads, from and subject line, any copy
associated with the campaign including survey questions and
answers. Any changes to Creative, without prior written
permission will result in the loss of payment of Leads.
5.) Compliance: RevenueFOX will actively
monitor PUBLISHER activity using a combination of its proprietary
software and third party monitoring services. It is the
obligation of PUBLISHER to prove to RevenueFOX that they are not
committing fraud. RevenueFOX will hold PUBLISHER payment in
‘Pending Status’ until PUBLISHER has satisfactorily
provided evidence that PUBLISHER is not defrauding the system.
RevenueFOX flags accounts that: Have click-through rates that
are much higher than industry averages and where solid justification
is not evident; Have only click programs generating clicks with no
indication by site traffic that it can sustain the clicks reported;
Have shown fraudulent leads as determined by our clients or Use fake
redirects, automated software, and/or fraud to generate clicks or
leads. If PUBLISHER is unable to prove to RevenueFOX that
PUBLISHER is not committing fraud, PUBLISHER will forfeit its entire
commission for all programs and PUBLISHER’s account will be
terminated. RevenueFOX reserves sole judgment in determining
fraud.
6.) Advertising Guidelines: PUBLISHER
may, in its complete discretion, reject, cancel or remove at any time
any Advertisement from the service for any reason without prior notice
to RevenueFOX. PUBLISHER must notify RevenueFOX following the
rejection, cancellation or removal of any Advertisement from the
service within 24 hours.
7.) Term & Target Launch: Term will be one
(1) month from the target launch of the initial campaign as noted in
the Insertion Order. Agreement may continue thereafter by mutual
consent but may be terminated by either party for any reason
whatsoever. All legitimate moneys due to PUBLISHER will be paid
during the next billing cycle. If PUBLISHER defrauds the system,
then payment is revoked as determined solely by RevenueFOX.
8.) Payment: PUBLISHER will invoice
RevenueFOX on a monthly basis at the payout rates reflected in the
Insertion Order. The invoice will reflect delivery of final
Qualified Lead numbers that are based upon numbers reported by
RevenueFOX to PUBLISHER pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
9.) Payment Term: RevenueFOX shall make all
payments to PUBLISHER within 30 days of the Invoice Date. All
payments made to PUBLISHER do not include, and PUBLISHER shall pay,
any sales, use or similar tax associated with such payment. All
past due amounts shall accrue interest at the rate of one and one-half
percent (1.5%) per month or the maximum rate allowed by law, whichever
is greater. Parties shall keep, maintain and preserve, for the
term of this Agreement and for one (1) year thereafter, accurate
records relating to amounts due hereunder (the “Relevant
Records”). Either party shall have a right at least once
per calendar year to audit the Relevant Records of the other party for
the purpose of verifying fulfillment of party’s payment
obligations pursuant to this Agreement. Each audit will be
conducted at a place agreed to by the parties, during the normal
business hours, with at least ten (10) business days prior written
notice to party to be audited. Auditing party shall pay
the fees and expenses of the audit, unless the audit reveals a payment
discrepancy of more than ten percent (10%) of all payments due in any
consecutive six (6) month period, in which case audited party shall
pay the reasonable fees and expenses of the audit, and shall
immediately pay to auditing party all amounts found to be due.
