iBloks Services
Agreement
These iBloks, Inc. Advertising Program Terms ("Terms")
are entered into by, as applicable, the customer signing these Terms or any
document that references these Terms or that accepts these Terms electronically
("Customer") and iBloks Inc. ("iBloks").
These Terms govern Customer's participation in iBloks advertising program(s)
("Program") and, as applicable, any insertion
orders or service agreements ("IO") executed by and
between the parties and/or Customer's online management of any advertising
campaigns. These Terms and any applicable IO are collectively referred to
as the "Agreement." iBloks and Customer hereby agree
and acknowledge:
Program Terms & Conditions. By executing, approving or authorizing this Service Agreement, or
otherwise using iBloks services to place ads, Customer
is agreeing that such advertising is governed by the Terms and Conditions. All
terms contained in the Terms and Conditions are made a
part of this Service Agreement through incorporation by reference. Any capitalized terms not defined in this
Service Agreement have the meanings assigned to them in the Terms and
Conditions. The person accepting this Service Agreement represents that s/he (a)
is authorized to sign this Service Agreement on behalf of Customer and (b) has
read and agrees to such Terms and Conditions and the terms of this Service
Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by iBloks and Customer, there
shall be no force or effect to any different or additional terms of any other
Service Agreement, purchase order or sales document with respect to the subject
matter hereof.
1. The
Program. This Agreement confirms that
you have engaged iBloks to provide its advertising services package. As part of
this package, iBloks will provide access via iBloks.com to the following:
(a) personalized ad templates, (b) sample ad library,
(c) creation, distribution and campaign management service, (d) reporting as
applicable. Customer is solely responsible for all: (a) selecting ad
targeting options and all ad content, ad information, and ad URLs ("Creative"),
whether generated by or for Customer; and (b) web sites, services and landing
pages which Creative links or directs viewers to, and advertised services and
products (collectively "Services"). Customer
understands and agrees that ads may be placed on (c) any content or property
provided by iBloks and, unless Customer opts out of such placement in the
manner specified by iBloks, (d) any other content or property provided by a
third party ("Partner") upon which iBloks places ads
("Partner Property"). Customer authorizes and
consents to all such placements. Customer agrees that all placements of
Customer's ads shall conclusively be deemed to have been approved by Customer
unless Customer produces contemporaneous documentary evidence showing that
Customer disapproved such placements in the manner specified by iBloks. iBloks
may modify any of its Programs at any time without liability. iBloks or
Partners may reject or remove any ad for any or no reason.
2. Cancellation. Customer may cancel advertising online with prior
written notice to iBloks, including without limitation electronic mail.
The cancellation of all other advertising may be subject to Program policies or
iBloks ability to re-schedule reserved inventory or cancel ads already in
production. Cancelled ads may be published despite cancellation if
cancellation of those ads occurs after any applicable commitment date as set
forth in advance by the Partner or iBloks, in which case Customer must pay for
those ads. iBloks may cancel immediately any IO, any of its Programs, or
these Terms at any time with notice, in which case Customer will be responsible
for any ads already run.
3. License Grant to iBloks. iBloks needs to have some limited license
rights from you in the Advertiser Content to be able to perform its obligations
under this Agreement and to market its services to others. For these reasons,
you grant iBloks a nonexclusive, worldwide, perpetual, non-terminable,
sub-licensable, royalty-free, fully paid up license to reproduce, distribute,
publicly perform and display, and use any and all Advertiser Content (a) as
necessary to perform its obligations under this Agreement; and (b) as necessary
for iBloks to include such reproductions in its portfolio and other materials
intended to market iBloks body of work, directly or indirectly, if such
reproductions are not themselves marketed commercially without your prior
written consent. Further, iBloks may sublicense the foregoing rights as
expressly permitted by this Agreement and otherwise as necessary for it to
perform its obligations under this Agreement.
4. Reservation
of Rights to iBloks. As between you
and iBloks, except for Advertiser Content, all copyright and other intellectual
property rights contained in or displayed through any Customized Ad, and other
material developed or provided by iBloks under this Agreement, including
templates, images, scripts, story lines, sound tracks, tag lines, the
"look and feel" of any of the foregoing, and any derivative works of
any of the foregoing, are and will remain iBloks' sole and exclusive property.
No intellectual property rights in any Original Ad or Customized Ad are granted
to you. Each party agrees that the other does not, directly or by implication,
by estoppel or otherwise, grant any rights or licenses under this Agreement
other than those expressly stated above.
5. Prohibited
Uses; Representations and Warranties. Customer shall not, and shall not authorize any party
to: (a) generate automated, fraudulent or otherwise invalid impressions,
inquiries, conversions, clicks or other actions; (b) use any automated means or
form of scraping or data extraction to access, query or otherwise collect
iBloks advertising related information from any Program website or property
except as expressly permitted by iBloks; or (c) advertise anything illegal or
engage in any illegal or fraudulent business practice. Customer
represents and warrants that it holds and hereby grants iBloks and Partners all
rights (including without limitation any copyright, trademark, patent,
publicity or other rights) in Creative, Services and Targets needed for iBloks
and Partner to operate Programs in connection with this Agreement ("Use").
Customer represents and warrants that (d) all Customer information is complete,
correct and current; and (e) any Use hereunder and Customer's Creative,
Targets, and Customer's Services will not violate or encourage violation of any
applicable laws, regulations, code of conduct, or third party rights (including
without limitation intellectual property rights). Violation of the
foregoing may result in immediate termination of this Agreement or customer's
account without notice and may subject Customer to legal penalties and
consequences.
6. Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability. To the fullest extent permitted by law, iBloks
DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION FOR
NONINFRINGEMENT, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR ANY
PURPOSE. To the fullest extent permitted by law, iBloks disclaims all
guarantees regarding positioning, levels, quality, or timing of: (a)
costs per click; (b) click through rates; (c) availability and delivery of any
impressions, Creative on any Partner Property, iBloks Property, or section
thereof; (d) clicks; (e) conversions or other results for any ads; (f) the
accuracy of Partner data (e.g. reach, size of audience, demographics or other
purported characteristics of audience); and (g) the adjacency or placement of
ads within a Program. Customer understands that third parties may generate
impressions or clicks on Customer's ads for prohibited or improper purposes,
and Customer accepts the risk of any such impressions and clicks. Any
refunds for suspected invalid impressions or clicks are within iBloks sole
discretion.
7. Agency.
You authorize iBloks to act on your behalf for the purpose of purchasing media
and to represent itself to advertising publishers, when appropriate in iBloks'
sole discretion, as your agent of record for the purpose of purchasing media
placements in conjunction with the Program.
iBloks will act as a principal in purchasing and
reselling media placements to you. Upon receiving your IO to purchase media, iBloks
will attempt to acquire media that is closest to the requested details in the
campaign. iBloks does not guarantee that media corresponding to any or all of
the campaign specifications will be available. Your obligation to pay for any
and all media purchased on your behalf will apply whether or not the media meet
any or all of your requested campaign specifications.
Budgets provided or requested within the campaign
creation process are only approximations. Your actual purchased media costs may
be lower or higher than campaign budgets on a daily basis due to normal traffic
fluctuations. Over the course of 30 days, these fluctuations are normalized.
Campaigns which are stopped or paused prior to running at least 30 days may be
in excess of a 10% limit. You are obligated to pay for all media purchased on
your behalf, regardless of budgets entered for campaigns.
iBloks will use commercially reasonable efforts to
contractually require publishers, suppliers and others to fulfill their
commitments as they relate to the Program to be provided to you, but iBloks
will not be liable to you for their failure to do so or any destruction or
unauthorized use of Advertiser Content. Purchase of media relating to this
Agreement will be subject to the publisher terms under which the media is
purchased, and to the publisher's other applicable policies, which may include
(a) the right of the publisher to reject, pre-empt, change, or substitute media
placements; (b) deadlines for submission of material; (c) cancellations; (d)
compliance with the publisher's policies regarding approval of advertising
content; (e) alternative performance (for instance, through make-goods),
refunds, and other remedies; (f) limitations and exclusions of your remedies;
and (g) indemnification for liabilities arising out of publication or
distribution of Customized Ads and Advertiser Content. You acknowledge that iBloks
cannot guarantee that any given publisher will accept and agree to run any
given Customized Ad or Advertiser Content.
8.
Payment. Unless iBloks otherwise agrees in writing,
you will pay iBloks for all Programs & Services ordered, including fees as
specified in each IO and any fees for media. Charges presented to you for media
may include charges for Programs & Services. Your payments to iBloks will
be made by credit card, or other means approved by iBloks. When you submit your
campaign or enter a new credit card, iBloks may authorize your credit card for
an amount of the budget you entered for your campaign(s), up to the total
amount of the billing cycle budget you provide for each of your campaign(s).
The authorization is a check for available balance, it is not a charge. Credit
cards may be re-authorized based upon your campaign or account activity.
Charges will be made to your credit card for all fees owed a maximum of one
time per day and a minimum of one time per month. If you fail to make payment,
you will pay an interest rate of 1.5% per month, or the highest rate permitted
by law. iBloks may also charge your credit card for amounts due following
cancellation as described below. You agree that iBloks may store and use your
payment information (including credit card information) for processing
payments. The payment information may also be transferred to, used and stored
by any publishers specified within each IO. The minimum fee for iBloks professional use is
$100/month and usage is subject to iBloks standard rate card. The fee to
use iBloks services and software is $5/M for any form of distribution unless
addressed in an additional contract provided to you by iBloks. Hosting
fees are above the fees for iBloks software and services. Monthly
Invoicing: Customer can also be billed at the end of the month, based on
the agreement budget set forth, actual number of clicks or other billing metrics
either as applicable to the Program (e.g. cost per impression) or if permitted,
as Customer chooses.
9. Indemnification.
Customer shall indemnify and defend iBloks, its Partners, agents, affiliates,
and licensors from any third party claim or liability (collectively, "Liabilities"),
arising out of Use, Customer's Program use, Targets, Creative and Services and
breach of the Agreement. Partners shall be deemed third party
beneficiaries of the above Partner indemnity.
10.
Confidentiality. You agree not to disclose to any third party iBloks
pricing and other business terms that are disclosed to you in relation to this
Agreement (other than the terms actually contained in this Agreement). This
paragraph will survive any cancellation of this Agreement.
11. Governing
Law. This Agreement will be governed by, and construed in accordance with,
the laws of the State of Deleware without giving effect to the principles of
conflicts of law. Any dispute arising under, in connection with, or incident to
this Agreement will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts
located in King County, Delaware. In any action to enforce any right or remedy
under this Agreement or to interpret any provision of this Agreement, the
prevailing party will be entitled to recover its costs, including attorneys'
fees.
This agreement contains the
entire agreement of the parties, and there are no other promises or conditions
in any other agreement whether oral or written.
* This Agreement shall be effective as of the
Acceptance Date written above.
