The following are the terms and conditions governing your (hereinafter "Publisher") relationship with Grabads Media Group, LLC (hereinafter "Grabads") and the use of any website associated with Grabads's services (hereinafter "Site"). Publisher agrees to use the Site and any additional services offered by Grabads only in accordance with these Terms and Conditions. Grabads reserves the right to make changes to the Site and these Terms and Conditions at any time. Publisher's continued use of the Site after any such modification and notification thereof (which may be provided by e-mail to the email address provided in the course of Publisher's registration with Grabads) shall constitute Publisher's consent to such modification.
Registration with Grabads shall not confer any right on Publisher to market or promote any Programs (as defined under section 2) made available by Grabads on the Site on behalf of its clients (the "Advertisers"). Participation by Publisher in the Grabads publisher lead generation program is subject to review and approval by Grabads. All prospective publishers need official approval from Grabads before they can become Publishers. Official approval requires meeting the criteria listed under Sections 1.1 and 1.2 below, however approval is not automatically granted upon fulfillment of said criteria. Grabads reserves the right to withhold or refuse approval for any reason at Grabads's sole discretion. Once Publisher has been accepted into the Program, Publisher's continued right to participate is conditioned upon Publisher's ongoing compliance with all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Failure of the Publisher to observe the terms and conditions of this Agreement will disqualify Publisher from participating in the Program. Publisher may re-qualify for program upon proof of compliance with terms and conditions of this Agreement, subject to approval by Grabads. Publisher shall promptly notify Grabads in the event of a material change in its business practices or strategy. Approval of a Publisher can be withdrawn by Grabads, at any time for any reason.
In order to be eligible to become a Publisher, all websites, affiliated websites and e-mail distribution lists (collectively the "Media") must meet the following criteria, at a minimum:
All Publishers that wish to send advertisements via email must have the consent of the consumer to send such email and each Publisher shall maintain records evidencing such consent including, without limitation:
(i) Member opt-in date
(ii) Registration source
(iii) First name
(iv) Last name
(v) Address
(vi) Email address
(vii) Any other information collected and will supply such records to Grabads within one business days of request thereof;
Unless otherwise approved in writing by Grabads, Publishers may not offer incentives to users as means to enhance the performance of any Program (as defined below); incentives include but are not limited to awarding them cash, points, prizes, contest entries, etc.;
Publisher websites must be fully functional at all levels; no "under construction" sites or sections;
Publisher's policies must be compliant with state and federal laws and regulations including but not limited to the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003
Spawning process pop-ups are prohibited; and Such other criteria as Grabads may from time to time determine, in its sole discretion.
The content of Publisher's Media shall be subject to Grabads's subjective approval and must comply with all applicable laws and regulations (including all laws respecting intellectual property rights) and, in any event, shall not include the following:
2.1. The Site allows Grabads to post offers of advertising programs sponsored by Grabads or its affiliates on the system ("Program(s)"). The Programs will specify the amount and terms under which Publisher will receive payment when the applicable Program's requirements are fulfilled. Compensation is derived from a specified event ("Event") identified in a Program, such as clicks, click-throughs, sales, registrations, impressions and leads. If Publisher accepts a Program, Publisher agrees to place that Program's advertising creative (including designated "subject" and "from" lines, the Advertiser's CAN-SPAM disclosures and any other disclosures provided therein) ("Specified Advertising Materials") on Publisher's Media. Publisher shall display the Specified Advertising Materials exactly as they appear on the Site and will not alter them in any way. Failure to adhere to this requirement may, in addition to all other remedies available to Grabads, result in termination of Publisher. Grabads may terminate a Program at any time, at Grabads's sole discretion. Grabads shall take reasonable efforts, including but not limited to email communications, to notify Publisher of such termination. Grabads is responsible for displaying and administering all active Programs and tracking the payments owed.
2.2(a). In the event that Grabads or Publisher receives a complaint from any recipient of a Program transmitted by Publisher, upon our request Publisher will immediately provide Grabads with appropriate records verifying that recipient's consent to receive email transmissions from Publisher. Such records include, but may not necessarily be limited to, the Internet address of Publisher's opt-in/opt-out website, the date of the recipient's action, and Publisher's privacy policy.
2.2(b). Publisher may not use an advertiser's name (including any abbreviation thereof) in the originating email address line or subject line of any email transmission.
2.2(c). No Misleading Headers or Other Masking of Email Origin. An email may not include falsification of header information, false registrations for email accounts or IP addresses used in connection with email ads, and retransmissions of an email ad for the purpose of concealing its origin. Publisher and/or their email delivery providers are prohibited from relaying or retransmitting emails from a computer or computer network that was accessed without authorization.
2.2(d). Subject lines may not be false or misleading such that it would likely mislead a reasonable recipient as to the contents or subject matter of the message. Publisher may only use approved Specified Advertising Materials, including subject lines available provided by Grabads or subject lines for which Publisher has documented approval from Grabads.
2.2(e). Specified Advertising Materials consisting of email messages must contain clear identification. Messages containing advertisements or solicitations must identify themselves as such, and do so by "clear and conspicuous" means, for example, by stating in the message body "This advertisement is brought to you by (Your Company)". Further, the sender must identify itself as the initiator and sender of the email including company name, email and physical address.
2.2(f). Effective Method of Opting Out of Future Mailings. Senders of commercial emails must give recipients an effective means of requesting not to receive future email ads from that sender. At a minimum, the publisher must give the recipient the ability to send a reply message to unsubscribe, opt out via postal letter and provide a functioning unsubscribe link that must remain in operation for 30 days from the date of the original email transmission.
2.2(g). All unsubscribe requests must be implemented within 10 business days from their receipt. You may not sell or transfer an email address once someone has opted out of receiving future communications, whether from only the advertiser or globally.
2.2(h). No Random or Invalid Generation of Email Addresses. Publisher is responsible for knowing the source of its email list. Email addresses may not be obtained by the use of a program for random generation of email addresses, and/or "scraping" websites or online services. Publisher must have full opt-in data for all recipients in its database.
Grabads shall be constantly monitoring, on its own or with the assistance of third parties, the Publishers for compliance with these Terms and Conditions, without limiting the generality of the foregoing:
3.1. All Publishers will be monitored by Grabads (or a third party retained by Grabads for such purposes) for compliance with applicable legal requirements, with respect to honoring unsubscribe requests and compliance with the use of the Specified Advertising Materials. If the monitoring is done by a third party, such third party will share all such information with Grabads.
3.2. Each unsubscribe list furnished to a Publisher shall be separately and technologically identified so that Grabads will be able to ensure that each Publisher is not disseminating or otherwise using the unsubscribe list other than in a manner required by applicable law. Publisher must not send further emails to names already on or newly added to the unsubscribe list.
Grabads grants Publisher a revocable, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, non-exclusive limited license to use the Site (including any Specified Advertising Materials posted thereon) and any data, reports, information or analyses arising out of such use (the "Site Data") solely for the purpose of marketing or promoting the Programs hereunder and subject to these Terms and Conditions and the applicable Program Terms. If a Publisher also maintains its own network of publishers, such Publisher may not provide the Program to its publishers, without the prior written consent of Grabads. Under such conditions, Publisher will require its publishers to agree to and comply with these Terms and Conditions. If a Publisher fails to adhere to the foregoing requirements, in addition to any other remedies available to Grabads, Publisher shall forfeit its rights to any amounts owed by Grabads to Publisher. Publisher acknowledges and agrees that Publisher does not have, nor will it claim any right, title or interest in the Site software, applications, data, methods of doing business or any elements thereof, or any content provided on the Site (including the Specified Advertising Materials). Publisher may only access the Site via web browser, e-mail or in a manner approved by Grabads. Publisher will not attempt in any way to alter, modify, eliminate, conceal, or otherwise render inoperable or ineffective the Site tags, source codes, links, pixels, modules or other data provided by or obtained from Grabads that allows Grabads to measure ad performance and provide its service. In addition, Publisher acknowledges that all non-public information, data and reports received from Grabads hereunder or as part of the services hereunder is proprietary to and owned by Grabads. If instructed to do so by Grabads and/or if Publisher shall be terminated by Grabads, Publisher will immediately destroy and discontinue the use of any Grabads data, including Site Data, and any other material owned by Grabads or the Advertisers.
Publisher agrees that Publisher will not approach or attempt to engage in a contract with any of Grabads's clients (each such client, individually a "Client" and all such clients, collectively "Clients") directly or indirectly via a Client's ad agency, broker or any other person or entity. Grabads will promptly reply in writing to any inquiries received from Publisher regarding the status of any person or entity as a Grabads Client so as to aid Publisher in its efforts to comply with the non-solicitation provisions of this Agreement. Because Grabads will be irreparably harmed by Publisher's conduct, and because the true extent of such harm will be impossible to quantify, monetary damages will not be an adequate remedy for any such conduct. Publisher agrees that Grabads shall be entitled to injunctive relief precluding Publisher from taking or continuing any action or conduct in violation of this provision, to be issued by any court of competent jurisdiction upon a showing of any such violative conduct by Publisher.
Grabads shall provide Publisher with material to create a website for the purpose of search engine optimization, or Publisher can create its own website. In either event, no website shall be released online, and nonsubmission, inclusion or any traffic can be sent to it, prior to Grabads's review and approval of it. If Publisher already has its own website, Publisher's website will be subject to Grabads's review and approval. Approval shall be written or by electronic submission. All Program related websites will contain links ("Links") provided by Grabads directing traffic to product sales web pages served by Grabads or a Grabads Group Client. Publisher's selection of entities to be included on any such website is also subject to Grabads's review and approval, of which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Should any of Grabads's Client(s) provide content which includes imbedded bots, Data Miners, links or other creative, graphic, text or html, all content shall remain at all times the sole property of Grabads.
Publisher agrees to comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including but not limited to, those enforced by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and the state attorneys general. Failure to comply with such laws and regulations will result in termination of a Publisher's account. Compliance shall be determined by Grabads at its sole discretion.
Publisher agrees to use the Links in the exact form that we deliver them to Publisher. Publisher agrees not to modify, alter, delete, or adapt the Links in any manner without Grabads's written approval. Links must be served from the Grabads server, unless otherwise permitted in writing by Grabads. Publisher shall not take any actions to impede the action of or to disable any such links. Publisher agrees to, if request by Grabads, modify or alter Links or Tracking devices in the manner requested by Grabads. Publisher further agrees that it shall in no event modify or interfere with Tracking devices unless specifically instructed to do so by Grabads in accordance with the previous sentence.
Grabads owns all rights, title, and interest to Links and user data collected and derived through the activities countenanced pursuant to this Agreement. Grabads may choose to imbed certain data mining tools within Links from time to time ("Data Miners"). Any data derived by any such Data Miner shall be the sole property of Grabads. Grabads may, from time to time, opt to share data derived from Data Miners with Publisher to help Publisher optimize the quality of leads generated from Publisher's activities or to otherwise improve the quality, functionality and mutual profitability of the activities of the parties under this Agreement. If Grabads does share data derived from Data Miners with Publisher, Publisher agrees that this data will be used solely by Publisher for the purposes for which it is provided to Publisher and will not be shared by Publisher with any other third party or entity without the written approval of Grabads. Should Grabads choose to provide advertising creative content, web design services or other web content of any type ("Web Content") to Publisher, Publisher shall use such Web Content: (i) in exactly the form that it is delivered to the Publisher by Grabads without modification unless approved by us in writing; (ii) only in the manner expressly permitted by Grabads in writing and only until Grabads shall request that Publisher discontinue its use of such advertising creative, at which time Publisher shall discontinue such use within two (2) business days of being requested by Grabads to do so.
Grabads actively monitors traffic for deceptive or fraudulent activity. If deception or fraud is detected as determined by Grabads's sole discretion, Publisher's account will be made inactive pending further investigation. Publisher accounts are flagged that, among other things:
Have click-through or conversion rates that are much higher than industry averages and where solid justification for such higher click-through or conversion rates is not evident to the reasonable satisfaction of Grabads;
Have ONLY click or lead generation programs generating clicks or leads with no indication by site traffic that it can sustain the clicks or leads reported;
Have shown fraudulent leads as determined by the Advertisers;
Have used any incentives to procure clicks or leads
Have provided leads obtained other than through intended consumer action. For instance, use of phone books, or similar such compilations of personal data, to complete lead generation forms shall be considered fraudulent behavior.
Use fake redirects, automated software, and/or other fraudulent mechanisms to generate Events from the Programs.
If Publisher fraudulently adds leads or clicks or inflates leads or clicks by fraudulent traffic generation (such as pre- population of forms or mechanisms not approved by Grabads or use of sites in co-registration campaigns that have not been approved by Advertiser), as determined solely by Grabads, Publisher will forfeit its entire commission for all programs and its account will be terminated. If Publisher is notified that fraudulent activities may be occurring on its Media, and Publisher fails to take prompt action to stop the fraudulent activities, then, in addition to any other remedies available to Grabads, Publisher shall be responsible for all costs and legal fees arising from these fraudulent activities. In addition, in the event that Publisher has already received payment for fraudulent activities, Grabads reserves the right to seek credit or remedy from future earnings or to demand re-imbursement from Publisher.
Publisher will be paid per the terms of each Program. Grabads shall pay any amounts due approximately 30 days after the end of each month, less any taxes required to be withheld under applicable law, provided that Grabads may, in its discretion, withhold payments until such time as the Advertiser has paid Grabads for any Program. In addition to any other remedies that may be available to Grabads, in the event of any breaches by Publisher of these Terms and Conditions, Publisher shall forfeit its rights to any amounts owed by Grabads to Publisher. Grabads reserves the right to reduce any payments owed to Publisher as a consequence of any offsets taken by Advertisers for invalid Events, technical errors, tracking discrepancies and the like. Grabads shall compile, calculate and electronically deliver data required to determine Publisher's billing and compensation. Any questions regarding the data provided by Grabads need to be submitted in writing within 10 business days of receipt, otherwise the information will be deemed accurate and accepted as such by Publisher. Grabads will not pay for any Events that occur before a Program is initiated, or after a Program terminates. Invoices submitted to Grabads and payments made to Publisher shall be based on the Events as reported by Grabads. Grabads will not be responsible to compensate Publisher for Events that are not recorded due to Publisher's error. Grabads will require a Publisher to provide a W-9, and similar such information, as a condition to payment.
With respect to Publishers who are running co-registration campaigns to generate leads ("Leads") for Advertisers, the following specific terms and conditions shall apply:
No Program may go live until such time as Grabads, and if necessary the applicable Advertiser, have approved, in writing, (a) all sites to be used by the Publisher for each Program and (b) the transfer of leads in the form of either a successful post for real-time transfer or approval of the test file for batch or FTP files.
Publisher represents and warrants that Publisher's privacy policy permits the collection, use and transfer of data as contemplated hereby and the Program Terms.
Each Program shall have its own criteria for determining the validity of a lead (the "Lead Requirements"). Grabads may detect and track all Invalid Leads, which are determined on a real-time basis. Grabads shall only pay for leads deemed valid by this system. At the sole discretion of Grabads, leads may also subsequently be deemed invalid for (i) fraudulent activities including but not limited to changing approved lead generation forms, publishing an offer on an unapproved site, utilizing automated software or manpower to complete co-registration forms, incentivization of co-registration forms and/or a publisher's inability to provide the user IP and time/date stamp for each lead or (ii) non-compliance with co-registration programs including but not limited to exceeding lead caps as communicated by a Grabads Account Executive and/or going live with a co-registration offer prior to written approval of a creative and data transfer by an Grabads Account Executive.
Publisher hereby acknowledges that the collection of the Leads is being done solely for the benefit of Grabads or its Advertiser. Therefore, other than providing the Leads to Grabads for delivery to the Advertisers, Publisher may not use, sell, transfer or assign or attempt to monetize the Leads for its own purposes. All right, title and interest in the Leads shall vest exclusively in Grabads or its Advertisers.
Publisher may not, in any way, alter or modify the Co-Registration Forms, without the prior written consent of Grabads.
The initial terms of this Agreement shall be for one year from the date of its first execution by the last party to so execute. Upon the one year anniversary of the execution, this Agreement shall automatically renew for successive thirty (30) day terms, unless: (a) not less than thirty (30) days prior to the date of any such automatic renewal, a party notifies the other in writing that it does not wish to renew this Agreement; or (b) this Agreement is otherwise earlier terminated pursuant to the provisions hereof.
Grabads reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to terminate a Program and remove any advertisements at any time for any reason, upon written notice to Publisher. Upon removal of any advertisements, Publisher shall terminate the Program and immediately cease emailing and any traffic involved with removed advertisement(s). Grabads also reserves the right to terminate Publisher's access to the Site at any time without notice.
Termination notice will be provided via e-mail and will be effective immediately, meaning, among other things, that Publisher must immediately cease all advertising activities. All moneys then due to Publisher will be paid during the next billing cycle, provided that such moneys were not earned in conjunction with deceptive or fraudulent practices as determined by Grabads at its sole discretion in which case they will not be awarded. The representations, warranties and obligations contained in paragraphs, 12, 13, 14 and 15 shall remain in full force and effect after termination of this Agreement. In addition, all payment obligations accruing prior to the termination date shall survive until fully performed.
Each party represents and warrants that: (a) it has the right to enter into and fully perform the services contemplated herein, consistent with these Terms and Conditions; (b) there is no outstanding contract, commitment or agreement to which it is a party that conflicts with these Terms and Conditions; and (c) at all times while any Program remains in effect, it shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations.
