CONTENT: During the term of this Agreement, AdMediary, LLC will make Content available to Affiliate for use in the Affiliate Program by posting such Content on the AdMediary, LLC Website for download, use and publication by Affiliates subject to the license set forth above, and the other provisions of this Agreement. AdMediary, LLC may terminate Affiliate’s right to use the Content for any reason at any time, in its sole discretion. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Advertising Campaign offered by the applicable Advertiser, the Content shall be used to generate valid sales, leads, applications, registrations, clicks, impressions or other compensable activities (collectively, “Compensable Transactions”). Unless otherwise stated in writing by AdMediary, LLC, each piece of Content made available to Affiliate in connection with any Advertising Campaign must include, in unaltered form, the AdMediary, LLC special transaction tracking codes as embedded in all such Content (the “Transaction Tracking Codes”). Affiliate will not knowingly, modify, circumvent, impair, disable or otherwise interfere with any Transaction Tracking Codes and/or other technology and/or methodology required or made available by AdMediary, LLC to be used in connection with any and all Content. AdMediary, LLC may change or revise the Content that is made available hereunder at any time, in its sole discretion, and Affiliate agrees to use only the most recent version of the Content that is posted on the AdMediary, LLC Website. Affiliate may not alter, modify or otherwise change the Content in any manner, whatsoever. Affiliate may only use Content that is supplied by AdMediary, LLC and that is posted on the AdMediary, LLC Website. Use, or the attempted use, of any marketing materials other than the Content in connection with the Affiliate Program will result in the immediate termination of this Agreement, without notice.
PAYMENTS: AdMediary, LLC shall pay commissions according to the payment terms of the applicable advertising campaign (“Commissions”) as set forth in the Affiliate Program, Insertion Order, and/or on the AdMediary, LLC Website. AdMediary, LLC shall pay Affiliate Commissions based on the compensable transactions recorded by the AdMediary System “statistics” approximately fifteen (15) days after the last day of a given calendar month, for Commissions earned in that prior month. All determinations made by AdMediary, LLC in connection with the Transaction Tracking Codes, Compensable Transactions and any associated payments due to Affiliate shall be final and binding on Affiliate. Payments will be made to Affiliate provided that the applicable Affiliate account has reached a minimum payment threshold of fifty dollars ($50.00) in cumulative revenues (“Payment Threshold”). Where an account has not reached the Payment Threshold, the amount due to Affiliate will continue to roll over to the next month until an amount equal to or greater than the Payment Threshold has been reached. Upon termination of this Agreement, all legitimate funds due to Affiliate, even amounts below the Payment Threshold, will be paid during the next billing cycle. AdMediary, LLC, in its sole discretion, may withhold any and all payments due and owing to Affiliate until such time as the applicable Advertiser has paid AdMediary, LLC for the associated Advertising Campaign. AdMediary, LLC reserves the right to reduce any and all payments owed to Affiliate where the applicable Advertiser has offset corresponding payments owed to AdMediary, LLC. Notwithstanding the foregoing, AdMediary, LLC’s services do not involve investigating or resolving any claim or dispute involving Affiliate and any Advertiser or other third party. AdMediary, LLC shall compile, calculate and post on the AdMediary, LLC Website data derived from the Transaction Tracking Codes, and otherwise, that AdMediary, LLC has used to determine Affiliate’s billing and the associated Commissions due to Affiliate (the “Data”). Any questions or disputes regarding the Data must be submitted in writing to AdMediary, LLC within five (5) business days of the date that the Data is posted on the AdMediary, LLC Website; otherwise, the information contained therein will be deemed accurate and accepted by Affiliate. AdMediary, LLC will investigate and resolve any Data-related questions or disputes in its sole discretion. If, due to any impairment of the Transaction Tracking Codes or any other reason, AdMediary, LLC is unable or fails to provide Affiliate with accurate and/or complete Data, AdMediary, LLC shall calculate Compensable Transactions (“Projected Compensable Transactions”), based upon: (i) Affiliate’s average monthly Compensable Transactions recorded by AdMediary, LLC for the applicable Advertising Campaign, prorated for any shorter or longer period of time, where data is available to calculate a monthly average; or (ii) such amount that AdMediary, LLC reasonably determines is due and owing, in its sole discretion, where data needed to calculate Affiliate’s average monthly Compensable Transactions is unavailable. AdMediary, LLC shall not be responsible to pay Affiliate on any eligible Commissions where: (a) the applicable Compensable Transaction involves the generation of leads, and the applicable leads delivered by Affiliate are comprised of consumers that have previously registered for, opted-in to and/or are already a member and/or an applicable campaign customer of the applicable Advertiser, as the case may be; (b) are claimed to have been generated using fraud, incentivized marketing or otherwise in violation of the restrictions contained herein; and/or (c) instances where the subject Email recipient did not opt-in to receiving Email marketing from Affiliate. AdMediary, LLC will not pay Commissions on any billings: (1) that occur before Affiliate is accepted into the Affiliate Program; and (2) that occur after termination of this Agreement or any applicable Advertising Campaign. AdMediary, LLC will not pay any Commissions to Affiliate unless AdMediary, LLC has documentation to support such Commissions. AdMediary, LLC requires all US Affiliates to provide a W-8 or a W-9 as a condition precedent to receiving any Commission payments. AdMediary, LLC reserves the right to offset, withhold and/or cancel Commission payments due and owing to Affiliate at any time, in its sole discretion, when AdMediary, LLC believes that Affiliate (or its Sub-Affiliates) are in breach of any term of this Agreement. Customers that buy products and/or services through the Affiliate Program shall not be deemed to be the customers of Affiliate. All Commission payments due to Affiliate will be paid in US dollars. Affiliate shall be responsible for paying any and all applicable taxes (if any) due to all taxing authorities arising from, or in connection with, Affiliate’s participation in the Affiliate Program. Without limiting the foregoing, Affiliate agrees and acknowledges that it shall be fully responsible for any and all taxes, whether state or local, and related fees, costs and penalties incurred by AdMediary, LLC and/or any of its Advertisers.
SUB-AFFILIATES: For purposes of this Agreement, any business partners or associates of Affiliate that participate in or perform any activities for Affiliate as a part of the Affiliate Program shall be deemed to be “Sub-Affiliates.” Any and all Sub-Affiliates must be pre-approved by AdMediary, LLC. AdMediary, LLC reserves the right to withhold or refuse approval or may revoke its approval of a Sub-Affiliate at any time for any reason whatsoever. All Sub-Affiliates must meet the same criteria for approval and must comply with the same terms and conditions as the Affiliate as set forth in this Agreement. Affiliate is fully responsible for the acts and/or omissions of its Sub-Affiliates, jointly and severally liable with such Sub-Affiliates and AdMediary, LLC may revoke approval of Affiliate’s participation in any Advertising Campaign based on the acts or omissions of that Affiliate’s Sub-Affiliates. AdMediary, LLC reserves the right to use all legal measures necessary in order to ensure that Affiliate and its Sub-Affiliates are in compliance with this Agreement.

Affiliate is solely responsible for all consumer complaints relating to email campaigns conducted by Affiliate and any Sub-Affiliates. Affiliate represents and warrants that it will respond to all consumer complaints within two (2) business days of notification.

Affiliate acknowledges that any failure to comply with this Section may, in AdMediary, LLC’s sole discretion, result in the immediate termination of this Agreement and the forfeiture of any and all rights to any Commissions otherwise owed to Affiliate by AdMediary, LLC. When performing email marketing of any kind and on behalf of any Advertiser, Affiliate represents and warrants that Affiliate shall transmit commercial email only to those recipients that have given Affiliate Affirmative Consent to receive email advertising from Affiliate and have not revoked such consent as of the date that the commercial email was transmitted to such recipient.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that Affiliate can show that any such AdMediary, LLC Partner already obtained such services from Affiliate prior to the date of this Agreement, then Affiliate shall not be prohibited from continuing such relationship.
INDEMNIFICATION: Affiliate agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless AdMediary, LLC, and its parents, affiliates and/or subsidiaries, and each of their respective owners, officers, directors, partners, members, managers, employees, agents, attorneys, representatives and/or assigns (collectively, the “AdMediary, LLC Entities”), from and against any and all liabilities, claims, actions, suits, proceedings, judgments, fines, damages, costs, losses and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs and/or settlement costs) arising from or related to: (i) Affiliate’s, or a Sub-Affiliate’s, breach of this Agreement and/or any representation or warranty contained herein; (ii) the Affiliate Websites, Affiliate Database, and/or Affiliate’s or any Sub-Affiliate’s marketing practices; (iii) any third party allegation or claim against AdMediary, LLC relating to a violation of any Laws and Regulations; (iv) any allegation that Affiliate or a Sub-Affiliate has infringed upon the trademark, trade name, service mark, copyright, license, intellectual property or other proprietary right of any third party; (v) any non-Advertising Campaign related Content, goods or services offered, sold or otherwise made available by Affiliate on and through the Affiliate Websites, Affiliate Database or otherwise; (vi) any claim that AdMediary, LLC is obligated to pay any taxes in connection with Affiliate’s participation in the Affiliate Program; and/or (viii) Affiliate’s or any Sub-Affiliate’s participation in the Affiliate Program, in any manner whatsoever. Affiliate will promptly assume such defense with counsel reasonably acceptable to AdMediary, LLC upon written notice of such indemnifiable claim. AdMediary, LLC reserves the right to participate in the defense at its sole expense. Affiliate agrees that it will not settle any indemnifiable claim without AdMediary, LLC’s prior written approval. Affiliate shall immediately notify AdMediary, LLC if Affiliate receives notice of any complaints, inquiries or investigations related to the Affiliate Websites, Affiliate Database, any Sub-Affiliates or any other violations in connection with Affiliate’s or any Sub-Affiliate’s business whether or not Affiliate is obligated to indemnify AdMediary, LLC for such claim hereunder.
FORCE MAJEURE: Affiliate agrees that AdMediary, LLC will not be liable or considered in breach of this Agreement on account of AdMediary, LLC’s delay or failure to perform as required under the terms of this Agreement as a result of any causes or conditions that are beyond AdMediary, LLC’s reasonable control and that AdMediary, LLC is unable to overcome through the exercise of commercially reasonable diligence (a “Force Majeure Event”). If any such Force Majeure Event occurs including, without limitation, acts of God, fires, explosions, telecommunications, Internet or network failure, results of vandalism or computer hacking, storm or other natural occurrences, national emergencies, acts of terrorism, insurrections, riots, wars, strikes or other labor difficulties, or any act or omission of any other person or entity, AdMediary, LLC will give Affiliate notice and will use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the impact of any such event.
DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROVISIONS: This Agreement shall be treated as though it were executed and performed in California and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California (without regard to conflict of law principles). Any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be resolved through binding arbitration conducted in Los Angeles County, California, under the auspices of the current Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. In addition to all other rights and remedies a party may have, the prevailing party in any arbitration or legal action shall be entitled to an award of its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. Any award rendered shall be final and conclusive to the parties and a judgment thereon may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. This binding arbitration provision shall not, however, prevent either party from seeking equitable or injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction. Affiliate agrees that any unauthorized and/or unlawful use of the Affiliate Program would result in irreparable injury to AdMediary, LLC for which monetary damages would be inadequate. In such event, AdMediary, LLC shall have the right, in addition to other remedies available to it pursuant to this Agreement, to immediate injunctive relief against Affiliate without the need to post a bond. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to limit any legal remedies available to AdMediary, LLC. To the extent permitted by law, Affiliate agrees that it will not bring, join or participate in any class action lawsuit as to any claim, dispute or controversy that it may have against AdMediary, LLC and/or the AdMediary, LLC Entities . Affiliate agrees to the entry of injunctive relief to stop such a lawsuit or to remove Affiliate as a participant in the suit. Affiliate agrees to pay the attorney’s fees and court costs that AdMediary, LLC incurs in seeking such relief from a class action. This prevents Affiliate from bringing, joining or participating in class action lawsuits, but: (i) does not constitute a waiver of any of your rights and remedies to pursue a claim individually and not as a class action in binding arbitration as provided above. This Section is an independent agreement.
MISCELLANEOUS: If any Section or provision of this Agreement, or the application of such Section or provision, is held invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, applicable statute or rule of law, then such Section or provision shall be deemed automatically adjusted to the minimum extent necessary to conform to the requirements for validity as declared at such time and, as so adjusted, shall be deemed a Section or provision of this Agreement as though originally included herein. In the event that the Section or provision invalidated is of such a nature that it cannot be so adjusted, the Section or provision shall be deemed deleted from this Agreement as though such Section or provision had never been included herein. In either case, the remaining Sections and provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted so as to best reasonably effect the original intent of AdMediary, LLC and Affiliate. AdMediary, LLC and Affiliate are independent contractors, and nothing in this Agreement will create any partnership, joint venture, agency, franchise, sales representative or employment relationship between the parties. AdMediary, LLC’s failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of such provision nor of the right to enforce such provision. Any attempt by any individual, whether or not an Affiliate, to damage, destroy, tamper with, vandalize and/or otherwise interfere with the operation of the Affiliate Program, is a violation of both criminal and civil law and AdMediary, LLC will diligently pursue any and all remedies in this regard against any offending individual or entity to the fullest extent permissible by law and in equity. This Agreement will be binding on, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable against the parties and AdMediary, LLC’s successors and assigns. Affiliate is not permitted to transfer any rights and obligations pursuant to this Agreement. Any attempt to do so will result in the immediate termination of this Agreement.
