Terms of Service

VERSION:1.1

These Adverty Terms of Service constitute a binding agreement (this “Agreement”) between Adverty AB (“Company”) and the publisher identified on the signature page below and/or as identified on Publisher’s adverty.com account (“Publisher”) relating to Company’s providing to Publisher access to and use of Company’s proprietary, technology-based system commercially known as Adverty (the “Company System”) through the Company System website (the “Site”), for the purpose of facilitating the selling, serving and displaying of virtual, augmented and/or mixed reality advertisements (“Ad(s)”) in and through Publishers’ applications (“App(s)”) (collectively, the “Services”). For the avoidance of doubt, the rights granted by Company with respect to the Company System may be utilized solely by Publisher for its Apps for the express purposes authorized herein, and no rights, whether express or implied, are granted or provided by Company for the use of the Company System by any other third parties, including, but not limited to, mobile and non-mobile advertising network mediators or aggregators

1. License and Services

Publisher hereby grants Company the non-exclusive, worldwide right and license to solicit and sell Ads on Publisher’s designated Apps (“Company Campaigns”), as set forth in Publisher’s account on the Company System, and to have such Ads served and displayed in Publisher’s designated Apps. To the extent requested by Publisher and accepted by Company in its sole discretion, Company may serve and display via the Company System Ads in Publisher’s Apps that have been solicited and sold by Publisher (“Publisher Campaigns”)

2. Publisher’s Responsibilities

(a) Valid Impressions and Actions. Publisher shall not run “robots” or “spiders” against its Apps or use any means to artificially increase the number of impressions or actions available. For purposes of clarification, an “action” is generated when a user interacts with an Ad in order to move to the Advertiser’s target destination or trigger any other follow-on action

(b) Publisher Campaign Trafficking. To facilitate the trafficking of Publisher Campaigns, if authorized by Company, Publisher shall provide Company with a signed insertion order, which shall include the number of impressions or actions, price, start date and end date for each Publisher Campaign. Such insertion order along with the Publisher Campaign Ad Content must be sent to Company at least three (3) business days before the Publisher Campaign can be served and all terms of such insertion order shall be subject to Company’s written approval

(c) Cooperation. Publisher shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with any reasonable Company effort or initiative relating to auditing traffic on the Apps, obtaining enhanced demographic information about users of the Apps, or other activity designed to increase the value or effectiveness of the Company System

(d) Data Collection and Use/Personally Identifiable Information. Company will have the right to collect anonymous data (e.g., video accessed or viewed) and other related user and device information (e.g., IP address; device ID; device type; OS) through identifiers on the Apps and the Ads served thereon. This anonymous data may be used by Company and shared, in aggregated form, with advertisers and third party service providers for purposes of attribution, verification, reporting and Ad delivery optimization and targeting in and on the Company System. Company agrees not to collect any personally identifiable information about any customer or end user of the Apps

(e) Apps Information. Upon Company’s reasonable request, Publisher shall provide Company with information about its Apps to better market Ads on the Apps. Such information includes, without limitation, total downloads, monthly active users, monthly sessions, average session length and other key information that will enable Company to better market the Apps for advertising campaigns

3. Marketing

(a) Promotion. Subject to Publisher’s prior written consent, Company may place the name and/or logo of Publisher on the Site and within any of Company’s media kits and hot link to the Apps

(b) Marketing Materials. Subject to Publisher’s prior written consent, Publisher acknowledges that Company may market and promote (and engage or authorize third party sales agents to market and promote) the Apps to potential Advertisers, including, without limitation, listing the Apps in directories, trade publications, Company proposals, presentations and marketing materials, and other promotional opportunities

4. Fees

(a) Company Campaigns. For all Company Campaigns, Publisher is entitled to receive a revenue share split as mutually agreed between the Publisher and the Company, defined in an additional Annex, by contacting our team at monetize@adverty.com. If Publisher decides to bypass this process, the Publisher shall receive fifty percent (50%) of Net Advertising Revenue (as defined below) (“Publisher’s Revenue Share”)

“Net Advertising Revenue” is defined as gross advertising revenue recognized through the delivery of Ads by Company on Publisher’s Apps, less: (i) taxes required to be paid by Company in connection with the Service, including without limitation, excise, sales, use or value added taxes or tariffs; (ii) commissions, discounts and referral fees in connection with selling Ads; (iii) technology and other transaction related costs or fees in connection with selling, serving and/or displaying Ads in Publisher’s Apps; and (iv) credits required to be provided to advertisers, including any Bonus Impressions (as defined below)

(b) Publisher Campaigns. For all Publisher Campaigns, Publisher shall pay Company twenty five percent (25%) of the gross revenue generated by Publisher from Publisher Campaigns (“Company’s Revenue Share”). Company shall provide reporting and attribution solely for “paid” Publisher Campaigns and not for “free” cross-promotional Publisher Campaigns

(c) Advertiser-Specific Adjustments and Allocations. In cases where the Advertiser or the Advertiser’s agency uses a third party Ad measurement, invoicing or reporting system, Company may be required to deliver the Ad and/or collect fees based on the measurements and calculations of such system. This may in some cases require over-delivery of the number of campaign impressions or actions. Company may also be required in the context of an Ad campaign to authorize “free”, “value-add” or “bonus” impressions or actions (collectively, “Bonus Impressions”). Such Bonus Impressions may be related to delivery of a survey or may be part of the pricing of the Ad campaign. In all such cases, Publisher authorizes Company to deliver such Bonus Impression on Publisher’s Apps as it determines is commercially reasonable to execute and complete the Ad campaign

5. Billing and Payment

(a) Publisher Billing and Payment Terms. If applicable, Publisher will remit Company’s Revenue Share to Company and any other amounts that may be due to Company from the execution and delivery of Publisher Campaigns in U.S. currency within ninety (90) days of receipt of Company’s invoice. All past due amounts will incur interest at a rate equal to the lower of 1.5% per month or the highest rate permitted by applicable law. Publisher will be responsible for, and will promptly pay, all taxes of any kind (including but not limited to sales and use taxes) associated the Services, the Apps and Publisher Campaigns, except for taxes based on Company’s net income

(b) Company Billing and Payment Terms. Company shall remit Publisher’s Revenue Share to Publisher within ninety (90) days following the end of the calendar month in which the Publisher’s Revenue Share was generated. To the extent Company pays Publisher ahead of collections from any Advertiser, Company shall have a right to recapture payments to Publisher in he event Advertiser fails to pay Company amounts due related to completed Ad campaigns. Company shall remit payments to the address and contact information provided by Publisher after registering for a Publisher account on the Company System

(c) Discrepancies. Publisher has ninety (90) days from the receipt of payment to report any discrepancy or to question the payment. Company and Publisher will use their best efforts to resolve any discrepancy or question quickly and fairly. Company will maintain accurate records with respect to the calculation of all payments due by Company to Publisher under this Agreement. In the event there is a discrepancy of greater than fifteen (15) percent between Company’s calculation and Publisher’s calculation, Publisher may, no more than once per calendar year upon no less than fifteen (15) days prior written notice to Company, cause an independent auditor of nationally recognized standing to inspect the appropriate records of the Company reasonably related to the calculation of payments due hereunder during Company’s normal business hours. Such examination will be undertaken in a manner reasonably calculated not to interfere with Company’s normal business operations. The fees charged by such auditor in connection with the inspection will be paid by Publisher, unless the auditor discovers an underpayment of greater than ten percent (10%), in which case Company will pay the reasonable fees of the auditor
