Terms and Conditions

These Terms and Conditions (the “Terms and Conditions”) are incorporated into the attached Insertion Order by and between Adgenesis Holdings LLC. (d/b/a Genesis Media) (“Genesis Media”) and Client (such Insertion Order and the Terms and Conditions, together, the “Agreement”).

1. SCOPE OF WORK: Client hereby appoints Genesis Media as Client’s advertising agent for the purposes of managing and selling Client’s advertising inventory located on websites and other digital properties owned or managed by Client (as specified on the attached Insertion Order, each a “Client Site”) to Advertising Entities (as defined below). The Advertising Entities shall purchase such advertising inventory to deliver promotion activity to the Client Site(s) (“Advertisements”). “Advertising Entities” means any party engaged in purchasing, creating, placing or utilizing Advertisements on the Client Site(s) hereunder, including without limitation, direct advertisers, agencies, ad exchanges and ad servers.

2. SERVICES; FURTHER ASSURANCES: Genesis Media shall represent Client in the non-guaranteed sale of certain of Client’s ad inventory to those Advertising Entities selected in Genesis Media’s sole discretion. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Client may by written notice to Genesis Media elect to refrain from transaction with any such Advertising Entity. Genesis Media shall invoice and/or use other commercially reasonable efforts to collect earnings owed or attributable to Client from each Advertising Entity resulting from the sale of Client’s ad inventory to such Advertising Entity. Genesis Media will assist in the identification, selection and management hereunder of Advertising Entities on behalf of Client. Client hereby designates and appoints Genesis Media as its representative to take such action on Client’s behalf and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are delegated to Genesis Media by the terms of this Agreement, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Genesis Media shall not have any duties or responsibilities to Client except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall Genesis Media deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with Client. Client will deliver Client’s “advertising tags” to Genesis Media and such other content, information, and data (collectively, the “Client Content”) as necessary for Genesis Media to render the services described in this Agreement, as determined in Genesis Media’s reasonable discretion. Each party agrees to perform acts and to execute and deliver any further documents as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the intent and provisions of this agreement.

3. FEES: Subject to Sections 4 and 10 below, Genesis Media hereby agrees to pay Client the greater of (a) Received Client Revenue (as defined below), less the Fees (as defined below), or (b) if a Floor CPM (as defined below) is agreed upon in an Insertion Order, the Floor CPM. Client hereby authorizes Genesis Media to retain the Fees and/or the amounts received by Genesis Media in excess of the Floor CPM, as the case may be, from any payments made by Genesis Media to Client hereunder for the satisfaction of Client’s payment obligations under this Agreement. Client is responsible for all taxes related to the Received Client Revenue, other than taxes based on the revenue of Genesis Media. “Received Client Revenue” means, with respect to each calendar month, revenue earned hereunder by Client from an Advertising Entity and actually received by Genesis Media on Client’s behalf, net of any third party fees related to the services provided hereunder, expenses or fees described on an Insertion Order and other transaction or service fees charged by Genesis Media from time to time. “Fees” means the percentage of Client Received Revenue specified under the heading “Rev. Share” on the Insertion Order. “Floor CPM” means the CPM designated on the Insertion Order under the heading “Floor CPM” (if any). The Floor CPM shall be calculated based on the monthly impressions actually served, as calculated in accordance Genesis Media’s transaction records for such month.

4. PAYMENT TERMS: Genesis Media shall retain the Fees from each payment from Advertising Entities and shall remit the balance of the Received Client Revenue, if any, to the Client within the time period specified in the Insertion Order.

5. TERM AND TERMINATION: This Agreement shall commence on the date of the Insertion Order and continue until terminated by the parties as provided herein (the “Term”). This Agreement may be terminated by either party upon two (2) days’ prior written (including email) notice to the other party.

11. CONFIDENTIALITY: “Confidential Information” means any tangible and intangible non-public information in any form (including written information, oral statements and electronically stored data) which a party discloses (the “Discloser”) to the other party (the “Recipient”) including, without limitation, information relating to trade secrets, systems, know-how, products, processes (including manufacturing processes), inventions, computer software programs, marketing or sales techniques, financial condition, costs, business interests, initiatives, objectives, plans, strategies, customers, suppliers, lenders, underwriters, or employees, that is marked as confidential or identified at the time of disclosure as being confidential or is otherwise disclosed under circumstances that would lead a reasonable person to conclude that such information is confidential, excluding information that: (a) was in Recipient’s possession before receipt from the Discloser; (b) is in or enters the public domain without a breach of this Agreement; (c) is rightfully received by Recipient from a third party without a duty of confidentiality; (d) is disclosed by the Discloser to a third party without a duty of confidentiality; or (e) is independently developed by Recipient without use of or reference to the Discloser’s Confidential Information.

If Recipient becomes aware of any loss or unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information, Recipient will promptly notify Discloser of such and use reasonable efforts to retrieve such Confidential Information. Recipient’s disclosure of Confidential Information pursuant to a judicial or administrative order will not be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement, provided Recipient (i) provides timely written notice of such order to the Discloser and (ii) reasonably cooperates with the Discloser’s efforts to contest or limit the scope of such order.
