Section 1. Insertion Orders.
From time to time, you may submit orders through the online portal for Advertigo to run advertisements (each order, an "Order"). If such Order is accepted, Advertigo will deliver advertisements provided by you ("Ads") on websites or other properties on which Advertigo places ads (the "Advertigo Inventory").
Section 2. Ads and Deliverables.
2.1 Placement of Ads. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Advertigo will deliver Ads in accordance with the terms of the applicable Order. In the event that your bid for advertising is not accepted by Advertigo, Advertigo will not be obligated to deliver any Ads. In each Order, you will specify the amount and type of advertising inventory on the Advertigo Inventory that you are purchasing (e.g., impressions, clicks, duration or other desired actions or metrics with respect to Ads) (the "Deliverables"). Advertigo may determine the size, placement, positioning and any other aspects of the presentation of any Ads in its sole discretion. Scheduling of delivery of any Ads is subject to availability and may not be continuous.
2.2 Ad Content. All content that you submit for Ads must be in compliance with the then-current version of Advertigo's Advertising Guidelines, Advertigo's Terms of Use and any other applicable Advertigo policies, including editorial, advertising, privacy, user experience, publicity and branding policies (collectively, the "Advertigo Guidelines"). Each of the Advertigo Guidelines is hereby incorporated by this reference.
2.3 Contests. For any contest, sweepstakes, coupon or other promotion offered or promoted by or on behalf of you on the Advertigo Inventory ("Promotion"), you (or a third party contracted by you and for which you are solely responsible) will perform and be solely responsible for such Promotion, including administration of the Promotion, ensuring that the Promotion complies with any and all applicable laws and regulations and the Promotions Guidelines, setting and enforcing official rules and offer terms, collecting entries, drawing, selecting and notifying winners and timely procuring and fulfilling prizes, premiums or discounts that may be offered in connection with such Promotion (these and other similar obligations the "Promotion Obligations"). No approval by or assistance from Advertigo in connection with a Promotion (including as may be specified in an Order or elsewhere) will reduce or satisfy the Promotional Obligations, and you will remain solely responsible for the Promotion Obligations. Without limiting the foregoing, Advertigo's review or approval of the official rules, offer terms or regulations for any Promotion will not constitute a legal opinion as to the legal appropriateness, accuracy or adequacy of those rules or their manner of use, nor a waiver of Advertigo's indemnity rights under this Agreement.
2.4 Ad Delivery. Advertigo will determine all measurements relating to Deliverables in accordance with its standard tracking methodologies. All payments due hereunder will be based solely on such measurements.
2.5 Performance-Based Advertising Orders. For all Orders where inventory is invoiced on a cost per click ("CPC") or other performance-related basis, the following additional terms will apply: (a) the Order will specify the agreed upon CPC or other performance-based rate that will apply to such Order and (b) Advertigo does not guarantee any amount of performance-related Deliverables, even if indicated on an Order.
2.6 Failure to Deliver and Makegoods/Remedies. If Advertigo fails to deliver any Deliverables in accordance with the terms of an Order, your sole and exclusive remedy will be limited to the following, which Advertigo may choose in its sole discretion: (a) placement of the Ads at a later time, and/or (b) an extension of the term of the Order with a refund representing any remaining undelivered Ads at the end of such extended term. Advertigo will have no obligation to continue to deliver any such Ads after the term of the Order if the Order has been terminated by reason of your breach pursuant to Section 4.
Section 3. Payments for featured (top) ads and Reporting.
3.1 Payments. You will pay all amounts specified in an accepted Order, along with any applicable taxes, by providing a valid credit card or other means authorized in writing by Advertigo. To the extent you make a payment in a currency Advertigo does not accept, you agree to pay all fees associated with currency conversion. If you have provided a credit card, you authorize Advertigo to charge the credit card for any and all amounts due upon the placement of the Order or thereafter. Additionally, if the issuer of the credit card seeks to recover from Advertigo any amounts received by Advertigo from the issuer, you will immediately remit to Advertigo all amounts necessary to comply with the issuer's request and any costs and expenses incurred by Advertigo in connection therewith. You further authorize Advertigo to obtain pre-approval from your credit card issuer and to, either directly or through third parties, make any inquiries that Advertigo considers necessary to validate your identity and creditworthiness. Interest will accrue on any past due amounts at the rate of the lesser of 1% per month or the lawful maximum. If your payment method fails or your account is past due, Advertigo may collect past due amounts using other collection mechanisms, and you agree to pay all expenses associated with such collection, including reasonable attorneys' fees. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account (including your user name and password), and you understand that you will be charged for any orders placed by or through your account, even if such orders were not authorized by you. Advertigo will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to maintain the security or confidentiality of your account. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you waive all claims against Advertigo related to charges (including any claims related to suspected invalid clicks or other actions) unless claimed within 60 days after the charge. To the extent Advertigo makes such ad units available, you will be solely responsible for all fees associated with serving any "rich media" Ads.
3.2 Cancellation. If you cancel any portion of an Order pursuant to Section 4, you agree that Ads may continue to run for up to seven (7) days after Advertigo receives the cancellation notice, and that you must still pay for such Ads (along with such Ads that were served prior to your cancellation.
Section 4. Terminate.
Either party may terminate this Agreement at any time upon written notice to the other party if the other party materially breaches this Agreement and such breaching party does not cure the same within 30 days after written notice thereof from the non-breaching party. In addition, you may cancel an Order at any time through the online, self-service interface. Sections 2.2 (Ad Content), 2.3 (Promotions), 2.6 (Failure to Deliver and Makegoods), 3 (Payments and Reporting), 4 (Termination), 6.4 (Persistence), 7 (Confidentiality), 8.4 (Additional Liability), 9 (Representations and Indemnification), 10 (Limitation of Liability), 12 (Disputes) and 13 (General) of these Terms and Conditions, together with any accrued but unpaid payment obligations of either party, will survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement.

Section 13. General.
Except as specifically provided herein, if any portion of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and the court will construe any invalid or unenforceable portions in a manner that most closely reflects the effect and intent of the original language. If such construction is not possible, the provision will be severed from this Agreement and the rest of the Agreement will remain in full force and effect. The failure by either party to enforce any provision of this Agreement will in no way be construed to be a present or future waiver of such provision, nor in any way affect the right of such party to enforce such provision thereafter.
