2. REGISTRATION AND PASSWORD. In order to participate in the Program, Company will register with Turn and create a unique, password-protected account. Company will be responsible for safeguarding its password. Company will also take full responsibility for any actions under its password, whether authorized by Company or not. Company's registration information and certain other information about Company will be used by Turn in accordance with the Turn Web Partner Privacy Policy, which is located and periodically updated at http://www.turn.com/corp/about/partner-privacy-policy.jsp, and incorporated into this Agreement by reference. Company shall also comply with the Turn's other advertising and publishing policies ("Other Policies") at all times. Company shall familiarize itself with any updates to this Agreement, the Privacy Policy and Other Policies as may be implemented periodically by Turn. Should Company object to any such changes or updates, it will inform Turn of such within five (5) business days of publication of said changes. If Company does not object, it will be deemed to have automatically accepted such changes. As soon as Company registers with Turn and sets up its account, it may begin creating Ads and Ad LineItems. Company will provide its Ads to Turn according to the procedures described in the Turn Bidded Marketplace.
3. LICENSE. To allow Turn to serve Company's Ads on the Publisher Websites, Company grants Turn an unlimited, non-exclusive, fully transferable, worldwide, royalty-free, fully paid right and license to use, reproduce, modify, create derivative works from, distribute, perform, transmit, and display the Ads including in multiple, different-size layouts pursuant to this Agreement. Turn disclaims all liability relating to or arising from Company's Ads and Ad LineItems. Company is solely responsible for its Ads and Ad LineItems, any services and products it offers through its Ads and Ad LineItems, and any websites that can be linked to from its Ads and Ad LineItems. Company may cancel an Ad LineItem effective within approximately 24 hours of its cancellation notice. Turn may, in its discretion, reject or remove any of Company's Ads from the Turn Bidded Marketplace or Publisher Websites at any time.
4. DATA RIGHTS. Company has the sole and exclusive right to use all data derived from its use of the Turn Bidded Marketplace, for any purpose related to its business; provided that Turn may use and disclose data derived from Company�s use of the Turn Bidded Marketplace solely (i) as part of its business operations, to disclose aggregate statistics about the Turn Bidded Marketplace in a manner that prevents individual identification of Company information; (ii) to the extent necessary to operate, manage, maintain and enhance the Turn Bidded Marketplace in a manner that prevents individual identification of Company information; and (iii) if required by court order, law or governmental agency.
5. TRIAL FEATURES. Some Program features will be made available on an as-is basis only ("Trial Features"), which will be marked as such. Company's use of the Trial Features is at its own risk. All information relating to the Trial Features is confidential.
6. PAYMENT. Calculation of the fees Company owes Turn under this Agreement ("Fees") is dependent on how Company bids for Ads via the Turn Bidded Marketplace when Company creates Ads and Ad LineItems, as well as the revenue recognition methodology set forth by the Company in the Ad LineItem (e.g., CPM basis, CPA basis, CPC basis, etc.). Company will pay Turn in accordance with the payment method it selects when it creates Ads and Ad LineItems, and subject to reports submitted by Turn, which shall be the system of record. If Turn is sending Company invoices, Company will remit payment within thirty (30) days of the date of Turn's invoice, or other terms as approved by Turn's finance department, and said payment terms shall be subject to periodic review by Turn if the credit worthiness of Customer changes. If Turn is not sending Company invoices, Turn will either charge Company's credit card on file with Turn, or deduct the Fees from a Turn payment account that Company has established with a Turn third-party payment processor. Turn may elect to accumulate multiple charges and invoice or charge Company when Company's unpaid Fees total a threshold amount. If Company decides to cap its expenditure for an Ad LineItem, Turn will use commercially reasonable efforts to end such lineItem when the cap has been reached; however, any Fees that exceed the cap are Company's sole responsibility. Fees will exclude all applicable taxes. Fees are based only on Turn's measurements of Actions, and Turn does not reconcile Action data with third-party advertisement servers. If Turn becomes aware of fraudulent Actions, relating to an Ad LineItem, it may reverse certain amounts charged to Company. For the purposes of checking credit, effecting payment and/or servicing Company's account, Turn may share with companies who work on its behalf, such as payment processors and/or credit agencies, any credit-card and related payment information that Company provides.
7. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. During the term of this Agreement, each party may receive Confidential Information from the other. Except as expressly authorized by this Agreement or necessary for performance under this Agreement, each party will use reasonable efforts to maintain the confidentiality of all such information, and no party will use less effort than it ordinarily uses with respect to its own Confidential Information. The foregoing will not restrict either party from disclosing Confidential Information: (a) pursuant to the order or requirement of a court, administrative agency, or other governmental body, provided that the party required to make such a disclosure gives reasonable notice to the other party to contest such order or requirement; and (b) on a confidential basis to its legal or financial advisors, or prospective acquirors or investors. Turn's Confidential Information means: (i) any Turn business or technical information; (ii) the Program and Trial Features and all related software, technology, guidelines, and documentation; (iii) lineItem metrics (e.g. click-through rates, conversion rates, and targeting criteria), amounts paid or payable, and other statistics relating to the Program; and (iv) Turn's methods for selecting and directing Ads to Publisher Websites. Company's Confidential Information means any confidential business or technical information Company provides to Turn. Confidential Information excludes information that: (w) is or becomes generally known to the public through no fault of the recipient; (x) is rightfully known by the recipient at the time of disclosure without a confidentiality obligation; (y) is independently developed by the recipient without use of the disclosing party's Confidential Information; or (z) the recipient rightfully obtains from a third party without disclosure restrictions.
