Standard Terms and Conditions for Yahoo! Advertising
Insertion Order No. [*]
The following terms and conditions (the “Standard Terms”) shall be deemed to be incorporated into the attached insertion order (the “Insertion Order”):
1. Terms of Payment. Advertiser must submit completed credit application to determine terms of payment. If no credit application is submitted or the request for credit is denied by Yahoo! Inc. (“Yahoo”) in its sole discretion, the Insertion Order must be paid in advance of the advertisement start date. Major credit cards (VISA, M/C and American Express) are accepted. If Yahoo approves credit, Advertiser will be invoiced on the first day of the contract period set forth on the Insertion Order and payment shall be made to Yahoo within [*] from the date of invoice (“Due Date”). Amounts paid after the Due Date shall bear interest at the rate of [*] per month (or the highest rate permitted by law, if less). In the event Advertiser fails to make timely payment, Advertiser will be responsible for all reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by Yahoo in collecting such amounts. Yahoo reserves the right to suspend performance of its obligations hereunder (or under any other agreement with Advertiser) in the event Advertiser fails to make timely payment hereunder or under any other agreement with Yahoo.
2. Positioning. Except as otherwise provided in the Insertion Order or these Standard Terms, positioning of advertisements within the Yahoo properties or on any page is at the sole discretion of Yahoo (subject to the remedies set forth in Section 6). Yahoo may, at its reasonable discretion, remove from the Insertion Order (and substitute with similar inventory) any keyword or category page that it believes to be a trademark, trade name, company name, product name or brand name belonging to or claimed by a third party.
3. Usage Statistics. Unless specified in the Insertion Order or these Standard Terms and except for the remedies set forth in Section 6, Yahoo makes no guarantees with respect to usage statistics or levels of impressions for any advertisement. Advertiser acknowledges that delivery statistics provided by Yahoo are the official, definitive measurements of Yahoo’s performance on any delivery obligations provided in the Insertion Order. The processes and technology used to generate such statistics have been certified and audited by an independent agency. No other measurements or usage statistics (including those of Advertiser or a third party ad server) shall be accepted by Yahoo or have bearing on the Insertion Order.
4. Renewal. Except as expressly set forth in the Insertion Order, any renewal of the Insertion Order and acceptance of any additional advertising order shall be at Yahoo’s sole discretion. Pricing for any renewal period is subject to change by Yahoo from time to time.
5. No Assignment or Resale of Ad Space. Advertiser may not resell, assign or transfer any of its rights hereunder without prior written consent from Yahoo, and any attempt to resell, assign or transfer such rights shall result in immediate termination of this contract, without liability to Yahoo. Notwithstanding the previous sentence and subject to the following sentences of this Section 5, either party (the “Assigning Party”) may assign or transfer any of its rights, in whole or in part (whether by operation of law or otherwise), without the prior written consent of the other party (the “Non-Assigning Party”) in the event of a merger, sale of substantially all of the stock or assets or other corporate reorganization of the Assigning Party in which more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting securities of the Assigning Party are transferred (each an “Acquisition”), as long as the successor agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of the Standard Terms and the Insertion Order. Advertiser shall provide Yahoo notice of an Acquisition (“Acquisition Notice”) no later than the date of the Acquisition. Upon receipt of the Acquisition Notice, Yahoo shall have a right to terminate the Standard Terms and the Insertion Order by notifying successor of its intent to terminate the Standard Terms and the Insertion Order (“Termination Notice”) within twenty-five (25) calendar days after Yahoo’s receipt of the Acquisition Notice (the “Evaluation Period”), which termination will become effective five (5) calendar days after receipt of the Termination Notice by successor. During the Evaluation Period and, to the extent that Yahoo elects to terminate the Standard Terms and the Insertion Order hereunder, for the period until termination becomes effective, Advertiser will promote within its advertisements only those products and services offered by Advertiser prior to the Acquisition, and those products and services will be branded solely by Advertiser. Additionally, no amounts prepaid by Advertiser under the Standard Terms and the Insertion Order shall be refunded to Advertiser or successor upon termination pursuant to a Termination Notice.
6. Limitation of Liability. In the event (i) Yahoo fails to publish an advertisement in accordance with the schedule provided in the Insertion Order, (ii) Yahoo fails to deliver the number of total page views specified in the Insertion Order (if any) by the end of the specified period (except for any page view levels for Yahoo! Shopping or Yahoo! Marketplace), or (iii) of any other failure, technical or otherwise, of such advertisement to appear as provided in the Insertion Order, the sole liability of Yahoo to Advertiser shall be limited to, at Yahoo’s sole reasonable discretion, a
* Material has been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment.
pro rata refund of the advertising fee representing undelivered page views, placement of the advertisement at a later time in a comparable position, or extension of the term of the Insertion Order until total page views are delivered. In no event shall Yahoo or Advertiser be responsible for any consequential, special, punitive or other damages, including, without limitation, lost revenue or profits, in any way arising out of or related to the Insertion Order/Standard Terms or publication of the advertisement, even if such party has been advised of the possibility of such damages. Without limiting the foregoing, Yahoo or Advertiser shall have no liability for any failure or delay resulting from any governmental action, fire, flood, insurrection, earthquake, power failure, riot, explosion, embargo, strikes whether legal or illegal, labor or material shortage, transportation interruption of any kind, work slowdown or any other condition beyond the control of such party affecting production or delivery in any manner.
7. Advertiser’s Representations; Indemnification. Advertisements are accepted upon the representation that Advertiser has the right to publish the contents of the advertisement without infringing the rights of any third party and without violating any law. In consideration of such publication, Advertiser agrees, at its own expense, to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Yahoo, and its employees, representatives, agents and affiliates, against any and all expenses and losses of any kind (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) incurred by Yahoo in connection with any claims, administrative proceedings or criminal investigations of any kind arising out of publication of the advertisement and/or any material, product or service of Advertiser to which users can link through the advertisement (including without limitation, any claim of trademark or copyright infringement, defamation, breach of confidentiality, privacy violation, false or deceptive advertising or sales practices).
8. Provision of Advertising Materials. Advertiser will provide all materials for the advertisement in accordance with Yahoo’s policies in effect from time to time, including (without limitation) the manner of transmission to Yahoo and the lead-time prior to publication of the advertisement. Yahoo shall not be required to publish any advertisement that is not received in accordance with such policies and reserves the right to charge Advertiser, at the rate specified in the Insertion Order, for inventory held by Yahoo pending receipt of acceptable materials from Advertiser which are past due. Advertiser hereby grants to Yahoo a non-exclusive, worldwide, fully paid license to use, reproduce and display the advertisement (and the contents, trademarks and brand features contained therein) in accordance herewith.
9. Right to Reject Advertisement. All contents of advertisements are subject to Yahoo’s approval. Yahoo reserves the right to reject any advertisement, URL link, space reservation or position commitment, at any time, for any reason whatsoever (including belief by Yahoo that placement of advertisement, URL link, etc., may subject Yahoo to criminal or civil liability). If Yahoo exercises its right to reject under the preceding sentence, Advertiser shall have the opportunity to submit to Yahoo a replacement advertisement, URL link, space reservation or position commitment within a reasonable period of time after Yahoo’s rejection, and Yahoo agrees to review the replacement within a reasonable period of time after Advertiser’s submission.
10. Cancellations. Except as otherwise provided in the Insertion Order, the Insertion Order is non-cancelable by Advertiser.
11. Construction. No conditions other than those set forth in the Insertion Order or these Standard Terms shall be binding on Yahoo unless expressly agreed to in writing by Yahoo. In the event of any inconsistency between the Insertion Order and the Standard Terms, the Standard Terms shall control.
12. Miscellaneous. These Standard Terms, together with the Insertion Order, (i) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law; (ii) may be amended only by a written agreement executed by an authorized representative of each party; and (iii) constitute the complete and entire expression of the agreement between the parties, and shall supersede any and all other agreements, whether written or oral, between the parties. Advertiser shall make no public announcement regarding the existence or content of the Insertion Order without Yahoo’s written approval, which may be withheld at Yahoo’s sole discretion. Both parties consent to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of California with respect to any legal proceeding arising in connection with the Insertion Order/Standard Terms.
13. Third Party Ad Serving. If Yahoo has approved the use by Advertiser of a third party ad server (“Third Party Server”) in connection with this Insertion Order, the following provisions shall also apply: (i) The Advertiser shall post each advertisement to a staging area and shall notify Yahoo of such posting at least [*] prior to the date on which Third Party Server is scheduled to serve such advertisement to a Yahoo property. Such advertisement shall be reviewed by Yahoo and must be approved in writing by Yahoo before it can be served by Third Party Server. In accordance with Section 9, Yahoo reserves the right to reject any advertisement or any element thereof, for any reason in its sole discretion. (ii) The Advertiser shall post all scheduling changes, new target URLs, new HTML specifications, new graphics and all other new or revised advertisements (“Revisions”) to a staging area and shall notify Yahoo of such posting at least [*] prior to the date Advertiser wishes such Revisions to take effect. Revisions shall not be implemented until approved by Yahoo in writing, which approval shall be at Yahoo’s sole discretion. (iii) If Advertiser discovers that Advertiser or Third Party Server has served, or caused to be served, an advertisement to a Yahoo property in violation of this Agreement, Advertiser must immediately provide notice to Yahoo of the violation (along with a written explanation) and remove the advertisement from its placement or rotation on the Yahoo properties. Nothing in this Section shall limit any of Yahoo’s rights or remedies in the event of such breach.. (iv) In the event Yahoo exercises its right to cancel an advertisement in accordance with Section 9 hereof, Yahoo shall notify Advertiser in writing.
