I.
INSERTION ORDERS AND INVENTORY AVAILABILITY
a. IO Details. From time to time, Media Company and Agency may execute IOs that will be accepted
as set forth in Section I(b). As applicable, each IO will specify: (i) the type(s) and amount(s) of
Deliverables, (ii) the price(s) for such Deliverables, (iii) the maximum amount of money to be spent
pursuant to the IO, (iv) the start and end dates of the campaign, and (v) the identity of and contact
information for any Third Party Ad Server. Other items that may be included are, but are not limited
to, reporting requirements, any special Ad delivery scheduling and/or Ad placement requirements,
and specifications concerning ownership of data collected.
b. Availability; Acceptance. Media Company will make commercially reasonable efforts to notify
Agency within two (2) business days of receipt of an IO signed by Agency if the specified inventory
is not available. Acceptance of the IO and these Terms will be deemed the earlier of (i) written (which,
unless otherwise specified, for purposes of these Terms, will include paper, fax, or e-mail
communication) approval of the IO by Media Company and Agency, or (ii) the display of the first
Ad impression by Media Company, unless otherwise agreed on the IO. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, modifications to the originally submitted IO will not be binding unless approved in writing
by both Media Company and Agency.
c. Revisions. Revisions to accepted IOs will be made in writing and acknowledged by the other party in
writing.
II. AD PLACEMENT AND POSITIONING
a. Compliance with IO. Media Company will comply with the IO, including all Ad placement
restrictions, and, except as set forth in Section VI(c), will create a reasonably balanced delivery
schedule. Media Company will provide, within the scope of the IO, an Ad to the Site specified on the
IO when such Site is visited by an Internet user. Any exceptions will be approved by Agency in
writing.
b. Changes to Site. Media Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Agency at least
10 business days prior notification of any material changes to the Site that would materially change
the target audience or materially affect the size or placement of the Ad specified on the applicable IO.
Should such a modification occur with or without notice, as Agency’s and Advertiser’s sole remedy
for such change, Agency may cancel the remainder of the affected placement without penalty within
the 10-day notice period. If Media Company has failed to provide such notification, Agency may
cancel the remainder of the affected placement within 30 days of such modification and, in such case,
will not be charged for any affected Ads delivered after such modification.
c. Technical Specifications. Media Company will submit or otherwise make electronically accessible to
Agency final technical specifications within two (2) business days of the acceptance of an IO.
Changes by Media Company to the specifications of already-purchased Ads after that two (2) business
day period will allow Advertiser to suspend delivery of the affected Ad for a reasonable time (without
impacting the end date, unless otherwise agreed by the parties) in order to (i) send revised Advertising

Revised IAB Standard Terms and Conditions Version 3.0 - Parle Media
Materials; (ii) request that Media Company resize the Ad at Media Company’s cost, and with final
creative approval of Agency, within a reasonable time period to fulfill the guaranteed levels of the
IO; (iii) accept a comparable replacement; or (iv) if the parties are unable to negotiate an alternate or
comparable replacement in good faith within five (5) business days, immediately cancel the remainder
of the affected placement without penalty.
d.
Editorial Adjacencies. Media Company acknowledges that certain Advertisers may not want their
Ads placed adjacent to content that promotes pornography, violence, or the use of firearms, contains
obscene language, or falls within another category stated on the IO
(“Editorial Adjacency
Guidelines”). Media Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with the Editorial
Adjacency Guidelines with respect to Ads that appear on Media Company Properties, although
Media Company will at all times retain editorial control over the Media Company Properties. For
Ads shown on Network Properties, Media Company and Agency agree that Media Company’s sole
responsibilities with respect to compliance with these Editorial Adjacency Guidelines will be to
obtain contractual representations from its participating network publishers that such publishers will
comply with Editorial Adjacency Guidelines on all Network Properties and to provide the remedy
specified below to Agency with respect to violations of Editorial Adjacency Guidelines on Network
Properties. Should Ads appear in violation of the Editorial Adjacency Guidelines, Advertiser's sole
and exclusive remedy is to request in writing that Media Company remove the Ads and provide
makegoods or, if no makegood can be agreed upon, issue a credit to Advertiser equal to the value of
such Ads, or not bill Agency for such Ads. In cases where a makegood and a credit can be shown to
be commercially infeasible for the Advertiser, Agency and Media Company will negotiate an
alternate solution. After Agency notifies Media Company that specific Ads are in violation of the
Editorial Adjacency Guidelines, Media Company will make commercially reasonable efforts to
correct such violation within 24 hours. If such correction materially and adversely impacts such IO,
Agency and Media Company will negotiate in good faith mutually agreed changes to such IO to
address such impacts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Agency and Advertiser each acknowledge and
agree that no Advertiser will be entitled to any remedy for any violation of the Editorial Adjacency
Guidelines resulting from: (i) Ads placed at locations other than the Sites, or (ii) Ads displayed on
properties that Agency or Advertiser is aware, or should be aware, may contain content in potential
violation of the Editorial Adjacency Guidelines.
For any page on the Site that primarily consists of user-generated content, the preceding paragraph
will not apply. Instead, Media Company will make commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that
Ads are not placed adjacent to content that violates the Site’s terms of use. Advertiser’s and
Agency’s sole remedy for Media Company’s breach of such obligation will be to submit written
complaints to Media Company, which will review such complaints and remove user-generated
content that Media Company, in its sole discretion, determines is objectionable or in violation of
such Site’s terms of use.
III. PAYMENT AND PAYMENT LIABILITY
a. Invoices. The initial invoice will be sent by Media Company upon completion of the first month’s
delivery, or within 30 days of completion of the IO, whichever is earlier. Invoices will be sent to
Agency’s billing address as set forth on the IO and will include information reasonably specified by
Agency, such as the IO number, Advertiser name, brand name or campaign name, and any number or
other identifiable reference stated as required for invoicing on the IO. All invoices (other than
corrections of previously provided invoices) pursuant to the IO will be sent within 90 days of delivery

- 3 -
of all Deliverables. Media Company acknowledges that failure by Media Company to send an invoice
within such period may cause Agency to be contractually unable to collect payment from the
Advertiser. If Media Company sends the invoice after the 90-day period and the Agency either has
not received the applicable funds from the Advertiser or does not have the Advertiser’s consent to
dispense such funds, Agency will use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Media Company in
collecting payment from the Advertiser or obtaining Advertiser’s consent to dispense funds.
© 2010
- 4 -
Revised IAB Standard Terms and Conditions Version 3.0 - Parle Media
Upon request from the Agency, Media Company should provide proof of performance for the
invoiced period, which may include access to online or electronic reporting, as addressed in these
Terms, subject to the notice and cure provisions of Section IV. Media Company should invoice
Agency for the services provided on a calendar-month basis with the net cost (i.e., the cost after
subtracting Agency commission, if any) based on actual delivery, flat-fee, or based on prorated
distribution of delivery over the term of the IO, as specified on the applicable IO.
b.
Payment Date. Agency will make payment 30 days from its receipt of invoice, or as otherwise stated
in a payment schedule set forth on the IO. Media Company may notify Agency that it has not received
payment in such 30-day period and whether it intends to seek payment directly from Advertiser
pursuant to Section III(c), below, and Media Company may do so five (5) business days after
providing such notice.
c.
Payment Liability. Unless otherwise set forth by Agency on the IO, Media Company agrees to hold
Agency liable for payments solely to the extent proceeds have cleared from Advertiser to Agency for
Ads placed in accordance with the IO. For sums not cleared to Agency, Media Company agrees to
hold Advertiser solely liable. Media Company understands that Advertiser is Agency’s disclosed
principal and Agency, as agent, has no obligations relating to such payments, either joint or several,
except as specifically set forth in this Section III(c) and Section X(c).
Agency agrees to make every reasonable effort to collect and clear payment from Advertiser on a
timely basis.
Agency’s credit is established on a client-by-client basis.
If Advertiser proceeds have not cleared for the IO, other advertisers from Agency will not be
prohibited from advertising on the Site due to such non-clearance if such other advertisers’ credit is
not in question.
Upon request, Agency will make available to Media Company written confirmation of the
relationship between Agency and Advertiser. This confirmation should include, for example,
Advertiser’s acknowledgement that Agency is its agent and is authorized to act on its behalf in
connection with the IO and these Terms. In addition, upon the request of Media Company, Agency
will confirm whether Advertiser has paid to Agency in advance funds sufficient to make payments
pursuant to the IO.
If Advertiser’s or Agency’s credit is or becomes impaired, Media Company may require payment
in advance.
IV. REPORTING
a. Confirmation of Campaign Initiation. Media Company will, within two (2) business days of the start
date on the IO, provide confirmation to Agency, either electronically or in writing, stating whether
the components of the IO have begun delivery.
b. Media Company Reporting. If Media Company is serving the campaign, Media Company will make
reporting available at least as often as weekly, either electronically or in writing, unless otherwise
specified on the IO. Reports will be broken out by day and summarized by creative execution, content

area (Ad placement), impressions, clicks, spend/cost, and other variables as may be defined on the IO
(e.g., keywords).
Once Media Company has provided the online or electronic report, it agrees that Agency and
Advertiser are entitled to reasonably rely on it, subject to provision of Media Company’s invoice
for such period.
c. Makegoods for Reporting Failure. If Media Company fails to deliver an accurate and complete report
by the time specified, Agency may initiate makegood discussions pursuant to Section VI, below.
© 2010
- 6 -
Revised IAB Standard Terms and Conditions Version 3.0 - Parle Media
If Agency informs Media Company that Media Company has delivered an incomplete or inaccurate report, or no
report at all, Media Company will cure such failure within five (5) business days of receipt of such notice. Failure
to cure may result in nonpayment for all activity for which data is incomplete or missing until Media Company
delivers reasonable evidence of performance; such report will be delivered within 30 days of Media Company’s
knowledge of such failure or, absent such knowledge, within 180 days of delivery of all Deliverables.
V. CANCELLATION AND TERMINATION
a.
Without Cause. Unless designated on the IO as non-cancelable, Advertiser may cancel the entire IO,
or any portion thereof, as follows:
i.
With (7) days’ prior written notice to Media Company, without penalty, for any guaranteed
Deliverable, including, but not limited to, CPM Deliverables. For clarity and by way of
example, if Advertiser cancels the guaranteed portions of the IO eight (4) days prior to
serving of the first impression, Advertiser will only be responsible for the first six (3) days
of those Deliverables.
ii.
With seven (7) days’ prior written notice to Media Company, without penalty, for any
nonguaranteed Deliverable, including, but not limited to, CPC Deliverables, CPL
Deliverables, or CPA Deliverables, as well as some non-guaranteed CPM Deliverables. iii.
With (7) days’ prior written notice to Media Company, without penalty, for any flat
feebased or fixed-placement Deliverable, including, but not limited to, roadblocks,
timebased or share-of-voice buys, and some types of cancelable sponsorships.
b.
For Cause. Either Media Company or Agency may terminate an IO at any time if the other party is
in material breach of its obligations hereunder, which breach is not cured within 10 days after receipt
of written notice thereof from the non-breaching party, except as otherwise stated in these Terms
with regard to specific breaches. Additionally, if Agency or Advertiser breaches its obligations by
violating the same Policy three times (and such Policy was provided to Agency or Advertiser) and
receives timely notice of each such breach, even if Agency or Advertiser cures such breaches, then
Media Company may terminate the IO or placements associated with such breach upon written
notice. If Agency or Advertiser does not cure a violation of a Policy within the applicable 10-day
cure period after written notice, where such Policy had been provided by Media Company to Agency,
then Media Company may terminate the IO and/or placements associated with such breach upon
written notice.
c.
Short Rates. Short rates will apply to canceled buys to the degree stated on the IO.
VI. MAKEGOODS
a. Notification of Under-delivery. Media Company will monitor delivery of the Ads, and will notify
Agency either electronically or in writing as soon as possible (and no later than 7 days before the
applicable IO end date unless the length of the campaign is less than 7 days) if Media Company
believes that an under-delivery is likely. In the case of a probable or actual under-delivery, Agency
and Media Company may arrange for a makegood consistent with these Terms.
b. Makegood Procedure. If actual Deliverables for any campaign fall below guaranteed levels, as set
forth on the IO, and/or if there is an omission of any Ad (placement or creative unit), Agency and
Media Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to agree upon the conditions of a
makegood flight, either on the IO or at the time of the shortfall. If no makegood can be agreed upon,
Agency may execute a credit equal to the value of the under-delivered portion of the IO for which it
was charged. If Agency or Advertiser has made a cash prepayment to Media Company, specifically
for the campaign IO for which under-delivery applies, then, if Agency and/or Advertiser is
reasonably current on all amounts owed to Media Company under any other agreement for such
Advertiser, Agency may elect to receive a refund for the under-delivery equal to the difference
between the applicable pre-payment and the value of the delivered portion of the campaign. In no

Parle Media
event will Media Company provide a makegood or extend any Ad beyond the period set forth on the
IO without the prior written consent of Agency.
c. Unguaranteed Deliverables. If an IO contains CPA Deliverables, CPL Deliverables, or CPC
Deliverables, the predictability, forecasting, and conversions for such Deliverables may vary and
guaranteed delivery, even delivery, and makegoods are not available.
VII. BONUS IMPRESSIONS
a. With Third Party Ad Server. Where Agency uses a Third Party Ad Server, Media Company will not
bonus more than 10% above the Deliverables specified on the IO without the prior written consent
of Agency. Permanent or exclusive placements will run for the specified period of time regardless of
over-delivery, unless the IO establishes an impression cap for Third Party Ad Server activity. Agency
will not be charged by Media Company for any additional Deliverables above any level guaranteed
or capped on the IO. If a Third Party Ad Server is being used and Agency notifies Media Company
that the guaranteed or capped levels stated on the IO have been reached, Media Company will use
commercially reasonable efforts to suspend delivery and, within 48 hours of receiving such notice,
Media Company may either (i) serve any additional Ads itself or (ii) be held responsible for all
applicable incremental Ad serving charges incurred by Advertiser but only (A) after such notice has
been provided, and (B) to the extent such charges are associated with overdelivery by more than 10%
above such guaranteed or capped levels.
b. No Third Party Ad Server. Where Agency does not use a Third Party Ad Server, Media Company
may bonus as many ad units as Media Company chooses unless otherwise indicated on the IO.
Agency will not be charged by Media Company for any additional Deliverables above any level
guaranteed on the IO.
VIII. FORCE MAJEURE
a. Generally. Excluding payment obligations, neither Agency nor Media Company will be liable for
delay or default in the performance of its respective obligations under these Terms if such delay or
default is caused by conditions beyond its reasonable control, including, but not limited to, fire, flood,
accident, earthquakes, telecommunications line failures, electrical outages, network failures, acts of
God, or labor disputes (“Force Majeure event”). If Media Company suffers such a delay or default,
Media Company will make reasonable efforts within five (5) business days to recommend a substitute
transmission for the Ad or time period for the transmission. If no such substitute time period or make
good is reasonably acceptable to Agency, Media Company will allow Agency a pro rata reduction in
the space, time, and/or program charges hereunder in the amount of money assigned to the space,
time, and/or program charges at time of purchase. In addition, Agency will have the benefit of the
same discounts that would have been earned had there been no default or delay.
b. Related to Payment. If Agency’s ability to transfer funds to third parties has been materially
negatively impacted by an event beyond the Agency’s reasonable control, including, but not limited
to, failure of banking clearing systems or a state of emergency, then Agency will make every
reasonable effort to make payments on a timely basis to Media Company, but any delays caused by
such condition will be excused for the duration of such condition. Subject to the foregoing, such
excuse for delay will not in any way relieve Agency from any of its obligations as to the amount of
money that would have been due and paid without such condition.
c. Cancellation. If a Force Majeure event has continued for five (5) business days, Media Company
and/or Agency has the right to cancel the remainder of the IO without penalty.

IX. AD MATERIALS
a.
Submission. Agency will submit Advertising Materials pursuant to Section II(c) in accordance with
Media Company’s then-existing Policies. Media Company’s sole remedies for a breach of this
provision are set forth in Section V(c), above, Sections IX (c) and (d), below, and Sections X
(b)
and (c), below.
b.
Compliance. Media Company reserves the right within its discretion to reject or remove from its
Site any Ads for which the Advertising Materials, software code associated with the Advertising
Materials (e.g. pixels, tags, JavaScript), or the website to which the Ad is linked do not comply with
its Policies, or that in Media Company’s sole reasonable judgment, do not comply with any
applicable law, regulation, or other judicial or administrative order. In addition, Media Company
reserves the right within its discretion to reject or remove from its Site any Ads for which the
Advertising Materials or the website to which the Ad is linked are, or may tend to bring,
disparagement, ridicule, or scorn upon Media Company or any of its Affiliates (as defined below),
provided that if Media Company has reviewed and approved such Ads prior to their use on the Site,
Media Company will not immediately remove such Ads before making commercially reasonable
efforts to acquire mutually acceptable alternative Advertising Materials from Agency.
c.
Damaged Creative. If Advertising Materials provided by Agency are damaged, not to Media
Company’s specifications, or otherwise unacceptable, Media Company will use commercially
reasonable efforts to notify Agency within two (2) business days of its receipt of such Advertising
Materials.
d.
No Modification. Media Company will not edit or modify the submitted Ads in any way, including,
but not limited to, resizing the Ad, without Agency’s approval. Media Company will use all Ads in
strict compliance with these Terms and any written instructions provided on the IO.
e.
Ad Tags. When applicable, Third Party Ad Server tags will be implemented so that they are functional
in all aspects.
X. INDEMNIFICATION
a.
By Media Company. Media Company will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Agency,
Advertiser, and each of its Affiliates and Representatives from damages, liabilities, costs, and
expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) (collectively, “Losses”) resulting from any claim,
judgment, or proceeding (collectively, “Claims”) brought by a Third Party and resulting from (i)
Media Company’s alleged breach of Section XII or of Media Company’s representations and
warranties in Section XIV(a), (ii) Media Company’s display or delivery of any Ad in breach of
Section II(a) or Section IX(e), or (iii) Advertising Materials provided by Media Company for an Ad
(and not by Agency, Advertiser, and/or each of its Affiliates and/or Representatives) (“Media
Company Advertising Materials”) that: (A) violate any applicable law, regulation, judicial or
administrative action, or the right of a Third Party; or (B) are defamatory or obscene. Not with
standing the foregoing, Media Company will not be liable for any Losses resulting from claims to
the extent that such Claims result from (1) Media Company’s customization of Ads or Advertising
Materials based upon detailed specifications, materials, or information provided by the Advertiser,
Agency, and/or each of its Affiliates and/or Representatives, or (2) a user viewing an Ad outside of
the targeting set forth on the IO, which viewing is not directly attributable to Media Company’s
serving such Ad in breach of such targeting.
Parle Media
Revised IAB Standard Terms and Conditions Version 3.0 - Parle Media
b.
By Advertiser. Advertiser will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Media Company and each of
its Affiliates and Representatives from Losses resulting from any Claims brought by a Third Party
resulting from (i) Advertiser’s alleged breach of Section XII or of Advertiser’s representations and
warranties in Section XIV(a), (ii) Advertiser’s violation of Policies (to the extent the terms of such
Policies have been provided (e.g., by making such Policies available by providing a URL) via email
or other affirmative means, to Agency or Advertiser at least 7 days prior to the violation giving rise
to the Claim), or (iii) the content or subject matter of any Ad or Advertising Materials to the extent
used by Media Company in accordance with these Terms or an IO.
c.
By Agency. Agency represents and warrants that it has the authority as Advertiser’s agent to bind
Advertiser to these Terms and each IO, and that all of Agency’s actions related to these Terms and
each IO will be within the scope of such agency. Agency will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless
Media Company and each of its Affiliates and Representatives from Losses resulting from (i)
Agency’s alleged breach of the foregoing sentence, or (ii) Claims brought by a Third Party alleging
that Agency has breached its express, Agency-specific obligations under Section XII.
d.
Procedure. The indemnified party(s) will promptly notify the indemnifying party of all Claims of
which it becomes aware (provided that a failure or delay in providing such notice will not relieve
the indemnifying party’s obligations except to the extent such party is prejudiced by such failure or
delay), and will: (i) provide reasonable cooperation to the indemnifying party at the indemnifying
party’s expense in connection with the defense or settlement of all Claims; and (ii) be entitled to
participate at its own expense in the defense of all Claims. The indemnified party(s) agrees that the
indemnifying party will have sole and exclusive control over the defense and settlement of all
Claims; provided, however, the indemnifying party will not acquiesce to any judgment or enter into
any settlement, either of which imposes any obligation or liability on an indemnified party(s) without
its prior written consent.
XI. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Excluding Agency’s, Advertiser’s, and Media Company’s respective obligations under Section X, damages
that result from a breach of Section XII, or intentional misconduct by Agency, Advertiser, or Media
Company, in no event will any party be liable for any consequential, indirect, incidental, punitive, special, or
exemplary damages whatsoever, including, but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, business
interruption, loss of information, and the like, incurred by another party arising out of an IO, even if such
party has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
XII: NON-DISCLOSURE, DATA USAGE AND OWNERSHIP, PRIVACY AND LAWS
a. Definitions and Obligations. “Confidential Information” will include (i) all information marked as
“Confidential,” “Proprietary,” or similar legend by the disclosing party (“Discloser”) when given to
the receiving party (“Recipient”); and (ii) information and data provided by the Discloser, which
under the circumstances surrounding the disclosure should be reasonably deemed confidential or
proprietary. Without limiting the foregoing, Discloser and Recipient agree that each Discloser’s
contribution to IO Details (as defined below) shall be considered such Discloser’s Confidential
Information. Recipient will protect Confidential Information in the same manner that it protects its
own information of a similar nature, but in no event with less than reasonable care. Recipient shall
not disclose Confidential Information to anyone except an employee, agent, Affiliate, or third party
who has a need to know same, and who is bound by confidentiality and non-use obligations at least
as protective of Confidential Information as are those in this section.
Recipient will not use Discloser’s Confidential Information other than as provided for on the IO.

Information” will not include information which: (i) was previously known to Recipient; (ii) was or
becomes generally available to the public through no fault of Recipient; (iii) was rightfully in
Recipient’s possession free of any obligation of confidentiality at, or prior to, the time it was
communicated to Recipient by Discloser; (iv) was developed by employees or agents of Recipient
independently of, and without reference to, Confidential Information; or (v) was communicated by
Discloser to an unaffiliated third party free of any obligation of confidentiality. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Recipient may disclose Confidential Information of the Discloser in response to a valid
order by a court or other governmental body, as otherwise required by law or the rules of any
applicable securities exchange, or as necessary to establish the rights of either party under these
Terms; provided, however, that both Discloser and Recipient will stipulate to any orders necessary
to protect such information from public disclosure.
c.
Additional Definitions. As used herein the following terms shall have the following definitions:
i.

or indirectly, of an Advertiser.
d.
Use of Collected Data.

Data for Repurposing; provided, however, that Performance Data may be used for

other use of such information will be set forth on the IO and signed by both parties.
f.
Privacy Policies. Agency, Advertiser, and Media Company will post on their respective Web sites
their privacy policies and adhere to their privacy policies, which will abide by applicable laws. Failure
by Media Company, on the one hand, or Agency or Advertiser, on the other, to continue to post a
privacy policy, or non-adherence to such privacy policy, is grounds for immediate cancellation of the
IO by the other party.
g.
Agency Use of Data. Agency will not: (i) use Collected Data unless Advertiser is permitted to use
such Collected Data, nor (ii) use Collected Data in ways that Advertiser is not allowed to use such
Collected Data. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, the restrictions on
Advertiser in Section XII(d)(i) shall not prohibit Agency from (A) using Collected Data on an
Aggregated basis for internal media planning purposes only (but not for Repurposing),
XIII. THIRD PARTY AD SERVING AND TRACKING (Applicable if Third Party Ad Server is
used)
a. Ad Serving and Tracking. Media Company will track delivery through its ad server and, provided
that Media Company has approved in writing a Third Party Ad Server to run on its properties, Agency
- Parle Media
will track delivery through such Third Party Ad Server. Agency may not substitute the specified
Third Party Ad Server without Media Company’s prior written consent.
Revised IAB Standard Terms and Conditions Version 3.0
b.
Controlling Measurement. If both parties are tracking delivery, the measurement used for invoicing
advertising fees under an IO (“Controlling Measurement”) will be determined as follows:
i.
Except as specified in Section XIII(b)(iii), the Controlling Measurement will be taken from
an ad server that is certified as compliant with the IAB/AAAA Ad Measurement
Guidelines (the “IAB/AAAA Guidelines”).
ii.
If both ad servers are compliant with the IAB/AAAA Guidelines, the Controlling
Measurement will be the Third Party Ad Server if such Third Party Ad Server provides an
automated, daily reporting interface which allows for automated delivery of relevant and
non-proprietary statistics to Media Company in an electronic form that is approved by
Media Company; provided, however, that Media Company must receive access to such
interface in the timeframe set forth in Section XIII(c), below.
iii.
If neither party’s ad server is compliant with the IAB/AAAA Guidelines or the
requirements in subparagraph (ii), above, cannot be met, the Controlling Measurement
will be based on Media Company’s ad server, unless otherwise agreed by Agency and
Media Company in writing.
c.
Ad Server Reporting Access. As available, the party responsible for the Controlling Measurement
will provide the other party with online or automated access to relevant and non-proprietary statistics
from the ad server within one (1) day after campaign launch. The other party will notify the party
with Controlling Measurement if such party has not received such access. If such online or automated
reporting is not available, the party responsible for the Controlling Measurement will provide
placement-level activity reports to the other party in a timely manner, as mutually agreed to by the
parties or as specified in Section IV(b), above, in the case of Ads being served by Media Company.
If both parties have tracked the campaign from the beginning and the party responsible for the
Controlling Measurement fails to provide such access or reports as described herein, then the other
party may use or provide its ad server statistics as the basis of calculating campaign delivery for
invoicing. Notification may be given that access, such as login credentials or automated reporting
functionality integration, applies to all current and future IOs for one or more Advertisers, in which
case new access for each IO is not necessary.
d.
Discrepant Measurement. If the difference between the Controlling Measurement and the other
measurement exceeds 10% over the invoice period and the Controlling Measurement is lower, the
parties will facilitate a reconciliation effort between Media Company and Third Party Ad Server
measurements. If the discrepancy cannot be resolved and a good faith effort to facilitate the
reconciliation has been made, Agency reserves the right to either:
i.
Consider the discrepancy an under-delivery of the Deliverables as described in Section
VI(b), whereupon the parties will act in accordance with that Section, including the
requirement that Agency and Media Company make an effort to agree upon the conditions
of a make good flight and delivery of any make good will be measured by the Third Party
Ad Server, or
ii.
Pay invoice based on Controlling Measurement-reported data, plus a 10% upward
adjustment to delivery.
e.
Measurement Methodology. Media Company will make reasonable efforts to publish, and Agency
will make reasonable efforts to cause the Third Party Ad Server to publish, a disclosure in the form
- Parle Media
specified by the AAAA and IAB regarding their respective ad delivery measurement methodologies
with regard to compliance with the IAB/AAAA Guidelines.
f.
Third Party Ad Server Malfunction. Where Agency is using a Third Party Ad Server and that Third
Party Ad Server cannot serve the Ad, Agency will have a one-time right to temporarily suspend
Revised IAB Standard Terms and Conditions Version 3.0 delivery under the IO for a period of up to 72 hours.
Upon written notification by Agency of a nonfunctioning Third Party Ad Server, Media Company
will have 24 hours to suspend delivery. Following that period, Agency will not be held liable for
payment for any Ad that runs within the immediately following 72-hour period until Media Company
is notified that the Third Party Ad Server is able to serve Ads. After the 72-hour period passes and
Agency has not provided written notification that Media Company can resume delivery under the
IO, Advertiser will pay for the Ads that would have run, or are run, after the 72-hour period but for
the suspension, and can elect Media Company to serve Ads until the Third Party Ad Server is able
to serve Ads. If Agency does not so elect for Media Company to serve the Ads until Third Party Ad
Server is able to serve Ads, Media Company may use the inventory that would have been otherwise
used for Media Company’s own advertisements or advertisements provided by a Third Party.
g. Third Party Ad Server Fixed. Upon notification that the Third Party Ad Server is functioning, Media
Company will have 72 hours to resume delivery. Any delay in the resumption of delivery beyond
this period, without reasonable explanation, will result in Media Company owing a make good to
Agency.
