TrafficApe Ad Network Terms

These TrafficApe Ad Network Terms (“Terms”) are entered into by TrafficApe and the entity executing these Terms or that accepts these Terms electronically (“Customer”). These Terms govern Customer’s participation in TrafficApe’s advertising programs and services (i) that are accessible through the account(s) given to Customer in connection with these Terms or (ii) that incorporate by reference these Terms (collectively, “Programs”). Please read these Terms carefully. They require the use of binding individual arbitration to resolve disputes rather than jury trials or class actions.

1. Programs

Customer authorizes TrafficApe and its affiliates to place Customer’s advertising materials, feed data, and technology (collectively, “Ads” or “Creative”) on any content or property (each a “Property”) provided by TrafficApe or its affiliates on behalf of TrafficApe or, as applicable, a third party (“Partner”). Customer is solely responsible for all: (i) Ads, (ii) Ads trafficking or targeting decisions (e.g., keywords) (“Targets”), (iii) destinations to which Ads direct viewers (e.g., landing pages, mobile applications) along with the related URLs, waypoints, and redirects (“Destinations”), and (iv) services and products advertised on Destinations (collectively, “Services”). The Program is an advertising platform on which Customer authorizes TrafficApe and its affiliates to use automated tools to format Ads. TrafficApe and its affiliates may also make available to Customer certain optional Program features to assist Customer with the selection or generation of Targets, Ads, or Destinations. Customer is not required to authorize use of these optional features and, as applicable, may opt-in to or opt-out of usage of these features. However, if Customer uses these features, then Customer will be solely responsible for the Targets, Ads, and Destinations. TrafficApe and its affiliates or Partners may reject or remove a specific Target, Ad, or Destination at any time for any or no reason. TrafficApe and its affiliates may modify or cancel Programs at any time. Customer acknowledges that TrafficApe or its affiliates may participate in Program auctions in support of its own services and products.

2. Policies

Customer is solely responsible for its use of the Programs (e.g., access to and use of Program accounts and safeguarding usernames and passwords) (“Use”). Customer also authorizes TrafficApe to modify Ads as described in Policies. In connection with the Program, TrafficApe will comply with the TrafficApe Privacy Policy available at TrafficApe.com/privacy (as modified from time to time). TrafficApe will not modify the EU Data Terms, except as expressly permitted under the EU Data Terms. Customer will not, and will not authorize any third party to, (i) generate automated, fraudulent or otherwise invalid impressions, inquiries, clicks or conversions, (ii) conceal conversions for Programs where they are required to be disclosed, (iii) use any automated means or form of scraping or data extraction to access, query or otherwise collect TrafficApe advertising-related information from any Property except as expressly permitted by TrafficApe, or (iv) attempt to interfere with the functioning of the Programs. Customer will direct communications regarding Ads on Partner Properties under these Terms only to TrafficApe.

3. Ad Serving

(a) Customer will not provide Ads that contain or connect to malware, spyware, unwanted software or any other malicious code, or knowingly breach or circumvent any Program security measure. (b) Customer may utilize an Ad server solely for serving or tracking Ads under Programs that permit third-party Ad serving and only if the Ad server has been authorized by TrafficApe to participate in the Program. TrafficApe will implement Customer’s Ad server tags so that they are functional. Up to 1% of ads displayed will not recieve views, and will not be counted towards daily tracking statistics. Ads must be visible and displayed for at least 1 second in order to be considered "viewable." Ads that are hidden or not visisble will not be counted towards daily statistics.

4. Testing

Customer authorizes TrafficApe and its affiliates to periodically conduct tests that may affect Customer’s Use of Programs, including Ad formatting, Targets, Destinations, quality, ranking, performance, pricing, and auction-time bid adjustments. To ensure the timeliness and validity of test results, Customer authorizes TrafficApe to conduct such tests without notice or compensation to Customer.

5. Ad Cancellation

Unless a Policy, the Program user interface, or an agreement referencing these Terms (an “IO”) provides otherwise, either party may cancel any Ad at any time before the earlier of Ad auction or placement, but if Customer cancels an Ad after a commitment date provided by TrafficApe, then Customer is responsible for any cancellation fees communicated by TrafficApe to Customer, and the Ad may still be published. Cancelled Ads will generally cease serving within 8 business hours or as described in a Policy or IO, and Customer remains obligated to pay all charges resulting from served Ads (e.g., fees based on conversion). Customer must effect cancellation of Ads (i) online through Customer’s account, if the functionality is available, (ii) if this functionality is not available, with notice to TrafficApe via email to Customer’s account representative, or (iii) if this functionality is not available and Customer does not have an account representative, with notice to TrafficApe via email to support@TrafficApe.com. Customer will not be relieved of any payment obligations for Ads not submitted or submitted by Customer after the due date provided by TrafficApe. TrafficApe will not be bound by a Customer provided IO.

6. Warranty, Rights, and Obligations

Customer warrants that (a) Customer holds, and hereby grants TrafficApe, its affiliates and Partners, the rights in Ads, Destinations, and Targets for TrafficApe, its affiliates and Partners to operate the TrafficApe Programs (including, in the case of feed data, after Customer ceases to use the Programs), and (b) all information and authorizations provided by Customer are complete, correct and current. Customer authorizes TrafficApe and its affiliates to automate retrieval and analysis of, and create test credentials to access, Destinations for the purposes of the Programs. By providing any mobile or other telephone number to TrafficApe in connection with the Programs, Customer authorizes TrafficApe, its affiliates and their agents to call and send text messages (for which standard message and data rates may apply) to the provided telephone numbers, including by an automatic telephone dialing system, for purposes of the Programs. However, TrafficApe will not rely on this permission to initiate autodialed calls or text messages for marketing purposes. Customer further authorizes TrafficApe, its affiliates and their agents to send electronic mail to Customer for purposes of the Programs. Customer warrants that it is authorized to act on behalf of, and has bound to these Terms, each third party, if any, for which Customer advertises in connection with these Terms (“Advertiser”) and any references to Customer in these Terms will also apply to Advertiser, as applicable. If for any reason Customer has not bound an Advertiser to these Terms, Customer will be liable for performing any obligation Advertiser would have had under these Terms had Advertiser been bound. If Customer is using a Program on its own behalf to advertise, for that use Customer will be deemed to be both Customer and Advertiser. Customer will provide Advertiser with reporting data no less than on a monthly basis, that discloses absolute dollars spent on TrafficApe and performance (at a minimum cost, clicks and impressions of users on the account of that Advertiser) in a reasonably prominent location. TrafficApe may, upon request of an Advertiser, share Advertiser-specific information with Advertiser.

7. Payment

Customer will pay all charges incurred in connection with a Program, using a payment method approved by TrafficApe for that Customer (as modified from time to time), within a commercially reasonable time period specified by TrafficApe (e.g., in the Program user interface or IO). TrafficApe is not obligated to deliver any Ads in excess of any credit limit. If TrafficApe does not deliver Ads to the selected Targets or Destinations, then Customer’s sole remedy is to make a claim for advertising credits within the Claim Period, after which TrafficApe will issue the credits following claim validation which must be used by the Use-By Date. Customer understands that third parties may generate impressions or clicks on Customer’s Ads for prohibited or improper purposes and if that happens, Customer’s sole remedy is to make a claim for advertising credits within the Claim Period, after which TrafficApe will issue the credits following claim validation, which must be used by the Use-By Date. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, (A) CUSTOMER WAIVES ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO ANY PROGRAM CHARGES UNLESS A CLAIM IS MADE WITHIN THE CLAIM PERIOD AND (B) THE ISSUANCE OF ADVERTISING CREDITS (IF ANY) IS AT TrafficApe’S REASONABLE DISCRETION AND IF ISSUED, MUST BE USED BY THE USE-BY DATE.

8. Disclaimers

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TrafficApe, ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND ITS PARTNERS AND AFFILIATES, DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING FOR NON-INFRINGEMENT, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE, AS WELL AS ANY WARRANTIES ARISING OUT OF ANY COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE PROGRAMS AND TrafficApe AND PARTNER PROPERTIES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS,” “AS AVAILABLE” AND “WITH ALL FAULTS,” AND CUSTOMER USES THEM AT ITS OWN RISK. TrafficApe, ITS AFFILIATES, AND ITS PARTNERS DO NOT MAKE ANY GUARANTEE IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROGRAMS OR PROGRAM RESULTS. TrafficApe MAKES NO PROMISE TO INFORM CUSTOMER OF DEFECTS OR ERRORS.

9. Limitation of Liability

EXCEPT FOR SECTION 11 AND CUSTOMER’S BREACHES OF SECTIONS 3(A), 14(E) OR THE LAST SENTENCE OF SECTION 1, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OR TYPE OF CLAIM: (a) TrafficApe, CUSTOMER, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES WILL NOT BE HELD LIABLE UNDER THESE TERMS OR ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS FOR ANY DAMAGES OTHER THAN DIRECT DAMAGES, EVEN IF THE PARTY IS AWARE OR SHOULD KNOW THAT SUCH OTHER TYPES OF DAMAGES ARE POSSIBLE AND EVEN IF DIRECT DAMAGES DO NOT SATISFY A REMEDY; AND (b) OTHER THAN CUSTOMER’S PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS UNDER THESE TERMS, TrafficApe, CUSTOMER, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES WILL NOT BE HELD LIABLE FOR DAMAGES UNDER THESE TERMS OR ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO PERFORMANCE OF THESE TERMS FOR ANY GIVEN EVENT OR SERIES OF CONNECTED EVENTS IN THE AGGREGATE OF MORE THAN THE AMOUNT PAYABLE TO TrafficApe BY CUSTOMER UNDER THE TERMS IN THE THIRTY DAYS BEFORE THE DATE OF THE ACTIVITY FIRST GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM.

10. Indemnification

Customer will defend and indemnify TrafficApe, its Partners, agents, affiliates, and licensors against all liabilities, damages, losses, costs, fees (including legal fees), and expenses relating to any third-party allegation or legal proceeding to the extent arising out of or related to Ads, Targets, Destinations, Services, Use or any breach of these Terms by Customer. Partners are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Section.

11. Changes to Terms

TrafficApe may make non-material changes to these Terms at any time without notice, but TrafficApe will provide advance notice of any material changes to these Terms. The Terms will be posted at TrafficApe.com/terms. Other than changes made under Section 13(G), the changes to the Terms will not apply retroactively and will become effective 7 days after posting. However, changes made for legal reasons will be effective immediately upon notice. Either party may terminate these Terms at any time with notice to the other party, but (i) campaigns not cancelled under Section 5 and new campaigns may be run and reserved and (ii) continued Program Use is, in each case, subject to TrafficApe’s terms and conditions then in effect for the Programs (available at TrafficApe.com/terms). TrafficApe may suspend Customer’s ability to participate in the Programs at any time. In all cases, the running of any Customer campaigns after termination is in TrafficApe’s sole discretion.

12. Miscellaneous

Customer will not seek an injunction based on patent infringement in connection with the Programs in any proceeding filed while these Terms are in effect, and for one year after any termination of these Terms.
