2. Advertising and Services; Ad Materials; Fulfillment.

With respect to the Advertising and any Services, Advertiser is responsible for providing for all artwork, copy, and all other information and materials, including the advertising or promotional message(s) that Advertiser desires to have placed, that are made available to Publisher by or on behalf of Advertiser or that Advertiser authorizes Publisher to utilize (including Advertiser Generated Content, as defined below and Targeting Information, as defined in the Product Terms, collectively, the “Ad Materials”). Publisher reserves the right, on behalf of itself and any of its third-party service providers or publishing network partners (each a “Supplier”), not to place, publish, and/or distribute any Advertising or Ad Materials for any or no reason, including not meeting Publisher’s or Suppliers’ specifications or standards, and Advertiser acknowledges and agrees that neither Publisher nor Suppliers shall be liable for not placing, publishing or distributing any Advertising. At their sole election, Publisher and/or Suppliers may, but are not required to, alter the Advertising or Ad Materials in order to meet publication specifications with or without notice or obligation to Advertiser. Publisher may take all actions reasonably necessary for the fulfillment of an Order (“Fulfillment”), including but not limited to provisioning, displaying, publishing, distributing, or otherwise placing Advertising into the stream of public commerce or making Advertising or a Service accessible to/by an end user. Publisher reserves the right to begin Fulfillment, without notice to Advertiser, when Publisher determines Advertising is ready for Fulfillment, using a template, placeholder or other substitute chosen by Publisher, if Publisher determines in its sole discretion that, following an executed Order, Fulfillment of Advertising will be delayed due to Advertiser’s action, inaction or omission. Advertiser waives any right to inspect, review or approve the finished Advertising. UNLESS OTHERWISE AGREED TO IN WRITING, PUBLISHER MAKES NO WARRANTY REGARDING THE APPLICABILITY OF ANY REQUIREMENTS, STANDARDS AND/OR PRACTICES OF A LEGAL, REGULATORY, SELF-REGULATORY, AND/OR ETHICAL NATURE (COLLECTIVELY “REGULATIONS”) TO ANY ADVERTISING OR WITH RESPECT TO ANY COMPLIANCE THEREWITH. EACH ADVERTISER IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ENSURING ITS OWN COMPLIANCE WITH REGULATIONS APPLICABLE TO IT AND/OR ITS ADVERTISING.

 

3. Term.

Only Publisher’s performance of Services under an Order will constitute Publisher’s acceptance of the Order. The “Term” of this Agreement commences upon Publisher’s acceptance of the first Order hereunder and will continue for an initial period as set forth in the Order (and if not set forth therein or otherwise provided in the Product Terms, then for 12 months) (“Initial Term”). After any Term of (or combination of shorter Terms totaling) 12 months or more, the Term of this Agreement will automatically renew, unless terminated as set forth in this Agreement (see Section 4, below), for successive one-month terms for Digital Advertising and related Services, each under the then current applicable General Terms and Product Terms.

 

4. Cancellation of Orders.

Advertiser may cancel this Agreement only by written notice, sent by an authorized representative of Advertiser, by email, to [email protected], either within the Cancellation Period (as defined below) or 30 days prior to the start of any renewal Term. The “Cancellation Period” during which any effective notice to cancel must be provided is within twenty-one (21) days of execution or authorization of this Agreement for Digital Advertising and Services.

 

5. Termination by Publisher.

Publisher may terminate this Agreement or any Order or cancel any Advertising in whole or in part with respect to the Fulfillment of Advertising by such Publisher, at any time upon written notice, including via email, to Advertiser. If Publisher intends to cease the provision of a particular Service, Publisher may, at its discretion substitute the performance of substantially similar Services on the terms and conditions then applicable to such Service. If Publisher ceases to provide a Service and does not substitute a substantially similar Service, then the portions of each Order for the performance of such Service will terminate automatically. Publisher, in its sole discretion, may repurpose and/or reallocate any resources, including Publisher or Supplier inventory or services, which may have been used to provide or support the Services and Advertiser shall have no rights with respect to any such resources and/or services. In addition, Publisher may terminate, remove, and/or suspend any or all Advertising or Services upon Advertiser’s failure to pay any amount when due as set forth herein.

 

6. Payment, Billing, and Collections.

(a) All charges for Advertising and Services will be due and payable upon commencement of Publisher’s delivery of the Advertising or performance of the Services. If Publisher issues an invoice to Advertiser, the invoiced amount will be due in full and without setoff on or before the due date set forth in such invoice (or, if no due date is set forth in the invoice, within 20 days after the date of the invoice). All payments are non-refundable. Publisher reserves the right to require partial or full payment in advance or to charge Advertiser a reasonable fee beyond anything specified on the applicable Order for requests that exceed Publisher’s customary services. Publisher has the right to allocate and apply periodic payments received from Advertiser to and among charges owed by Advertiser as it sees fit, including those that are separately billed, and as OBX.LIVE. Advertiser will pay all sales, use, or other local, state, federal, foreign, or other taxes or governmental fees arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, other than taxes based on Publisher’s net income. If more than one person/entity requests Advertising under this Agreement or any Order, all such persons/entities will be jointly and severally liable for all charges due and payable under this Agreement. OBX.LIVE may issue invoices and, to the extent specified in such invoices receive payments and may engage one or more billing agents to do so on behalf of OBX.LIVE. Publisher may, in any Order or invoice, require that payment be made to an escrow account, lockbox, trustee or other designee to receive payment on behalf of OBX.LIVE. If so directed by Publisher, the Advertiser agrees to submit such payment to the applicable Publisher or its designee and will only be deemed to have satisfied its payment obligations with respect to such Order upon receipt by such Publisher or its designee of full payment amount due.

 

(b) Advertiser must ensure that any payment mechanism (e.g. credit card, direct transfer, etc.) which Advertiser elects to utilize remains current and operable throughout the term of the applicable Service. Advertiser shall be responsible for any fees and/or charges that Publisher may levy upon Advertiser because of late or delinquent payments resulting from invalid payment authorization. Late payments will accrue interest at a rate of 1.5% per month (or the highest lawful rate, if less). Advertiser will pay attorneys’ fees and internal and external costs that Publisher and/or its agents incur in collecting any unpaid amounts in addition to a collection activity fee of $25 for each month that Advertiser does not pay Publisher the full amount of charges due by the invoice due date. Advertiser agrees that the collection activity fee is not an interest charge for the time value of unpaid money and recovers costs that are different from the costs recovered by the late payment interest charge described in this Section.

(c) If offered by Publisher, Advertiser may agree, in writing or by electronic authorization, to make single or recurring payments electronically via credit or debit card or by automatic debits to Advertiser’s bank account via automated clearinghouse (ACH). Publisher may condition its acceptance of electronic payments upon Advertiser’s completion of one or more separate authorization forms. Unless otherwise specified at the time Advertiser agrees to recurring electronic payments, the applicable automatic payment will be deducted on the due date of each invoice. Authorization for recurring electronic payments will remain in full force and effect until 15 days following the date Publisher has received express written notification of Advertiser’s intention to cancel such authorization (the “Authorization Termination Date”), and automatic deductions that were submitted for processing prior to the Authorization Termination Date may still be processed. Advertiser hereby releases Publisher and its Suppliers, including any payment processors, from any and all claims arising from the use of any means of electronic and/or automatic payment method, including any fees associated therewith.

(d) Advertiser agrees that Publisher may disclose any or all information it has concerning Advertiser to any third parties, including credit-reporting or collections agencies, for the purpose of assessing Advertiser’s credit or determining a payment plan or method, or for the purpose of collecting outstanding and unpaid amounts. If Advertiser applies for business credit and is denied, Advertiser has the right to a written statement of the specific reasons for the denial, which Advertiser may obtain by contacting Publisher within 60 days after Advertiser is notified of the decision at OBX.LIVE, P.O. Box 28, Kill Devil Hills, NC 27948, Attention: Credit Manager). Publisher will send Advertiser a written statement of reasons for the denial within 30 days of receiving Advertiser’s request. The federal Equal Credit Opportunity Act prohibits creditors from discriminating against credit applicants on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, or age (provided the applicant has the capacity to enter into a binding contract); because all or part of the applicant’s income derives from any public assistance program; or because the applicant has in good faith exercised any right under the Consumer Credit Protection Act. The federal agency that administers compliance with this law concerning this creditor is the Federal Trade Commission, Equal Credit Opportunity, Washington, DC 20580.

 

e) Inactivity. If Advertiser fails to claim funds remaining on account with Publisher within 180 days of the last date upon which Publisher performed Services under the applicable Order, Advertiser will pay Publisher a reasonable fee for the maintenance and administration of those funds equal to $25 per month. Publisher may deduct this fee from Advertiser’s funds on account until the funds are transferred to Advertiser or exhausted. If Advertiser fails to claim any non-cash credit issued by Publisher within 180 days, Advertiser will be deemed to have waived such credit and will have no claim to the credited amounts.

 

7. Bundles and Incentive Pricing; Managed Services and Comprehensive Advertising Plans.

(a) If an Order provides for Advertising and/or Services sold together as part of a package at bundled, unitary, promotional, or incentive pricing (each such grouping, a “Bundle”), Publisher’s commencement of performance of Services provided as part of a Bundle will constitute commencement of performance for all Services within the same Bundle. Cancellation of part of a Bundle will not relieve Advertiser’s obligation to pay the full price for the Bundle. Cancellation of or failure to pay for specific Advertising or Services which are part of a Bundle may result in incentive pricing reverting to the full un-discounted rate for all Advertising and Services included in such Bundle, which rate Advertiser shall be obligated to pay.

(b) From time to time, Publisher may develop and institute a plan encompassing multiple included Services and products, which may or may not include Supplemental Advertising, as defined below all provided toward a single performance target or estimate (such plan, a “Comprehensive Advertising Plan” or “Plan” and such included Services, “CAP Services”). If an Order includes CAP Services or other managed Services pursuant to which Publisher may, in its discretion, elect to place Advertising on Advertiser’s behalf in various media or channels of distribution at various times, or manage, on Advertiser’s behalf within agreed parameters, the placement or timing of or amount spent on such Advertising, then Advertiser consents to and authorizes the placement of any such Advertising and agrees that the terms applicable to all such media or channels of distribution in which Advertising is placed by Publisher, in addition to those terms specific to the included or managed Services themselves, shall apply.

 

8. Supplemental Advertising. Recognizing that the essential value of the Services is the dissemination of information to facilitate and encourage individuals to visit, contact, and/or learn more about Advertiser, Publisher may, in its sole discretion and without additional cost to the Advertiser, display the Ad Materials in additional media or channels of distribution (now known or hereafter devised) other than media or channels of distribution that may be set forth in the applicable Order (“Supplemental Advertising”). Consistent with Section 12 of these General Terms, Advertiser, for itself and any third party with an interest in or to Ad Materials, grants Publisher a nonexclusive, worldwide, unrestricted d, royalty-free license, to use the Ad Materials in Supplemental Advertising, and Advertiser agrees that these General Terms and any applicable Product Terms apply to Supplemental Advertising. Publisher shall be under no obligation to do so, but may from time to time provide notice to Advertiser that Publisher intends to provide Supplemental Advertising to Advertiser, and Advertiser’s failure to object to the provision of Supplemental Advertising shall constitute Advertiser’s confirmation that Publisher is both authorized to provide Supplemental Advertising and also that such Supplemental Advertising is governed by this Agreement.

 

9. Suppliers.

(a) Publisher may have entered into one or more contracts with Suppliers in connection with the performance of Services. Publisher may delegate any of its obligations hereunder to any current or future Supplier. Advertiser consents to and authorizes Publisher to use any Supplier that Publisher deems suitable for the purpose in question and to change Suppliers at any time in Publisher’s sole discretion. Advertiser agrees that the use of any such Supplier does not limit Advertiser’s obligations to Publisher pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Publisher may provide Suppliers with all relevant information regarding the Advertiser in connection with the performance of Services.

(b) Representatives of Suppliers, including representatives who may be visiting locations designated by the Advertiser (e.g., recording audio, video, taking photographs) will be employees and/or contractors of the Suppliers and will not be employees of Publisher. By signing the applicable Order, Advertiser directs Publisher to have Suppliers contact Advertiser directly about coordinating the same.

(c) Websites, interfaces or other electronic portals operated by the Suppliers (each, a “Supplier Website”) may have different terms of use than those applicable to Publisher’s websites or Interfaces. Advertiser is solely responsible for investigating the terms of use, privacy policies, and/or other rules or requirements applicable to Supplier Websites. Publisher will have no obligation or liability to Advertiser with respect to any differences between the operation and administration of Publisher’s websites or electronic portals and the Supplier Websites. Advertiser agrees to be bound by the applicable terms of use and/or other applicable terms of any applicable Supplier Website. Publisher is an intended third-party beneficiary of any limitations of liability, representations, warranties and/or indemnities pursuant to the terms of use or similar terms of any Supplier Website.

(d) Other than specific liability alleged to result from the actions of an individual Supplier directly in connection with the performance of a Service by such Supplier, which shall be subject to all waivers and limitations of liability contained in this Agreement, Advertiser generally releases and holds Publisher, its parent(s), subsidiaries, affiliates, and Suppliers, and their respective directors, officers, employees, and agents (the “Publisher Parties”)harmless for any claims, actions, losses, expenses, damages, costs, and/or liabilities that may arise as a result of any other actions or inactions of Suppliers and/or their employees, contractors, or representatives. Any such non-waived or limited claims, actions, losses, expenses, damages, costs, and/or liabilities shall be strictly between Advertiser and the applicable Suppliers.

 

10. Warranties, Covenants, and Consents. Advertiser warrants and covenants to Publisher Parties that:

(a) Advertiser owns or otherwise controls all necessary rights to Ad Materials and any trademark, service mark, logo, name, message, data, image, text, photos, graphics, audio, video or other material or intellectual property contained or embodied in any Ad Materials, including the right to grant the rights and licenses granted herein to the Publisher Parties, and Advertiser will maintain such ownership or control throughout the term of this Agreement;

Advertiser acknowledges that the essential value of the Services is the dissemination of information facilitating individuals to visit, contact, and/or learn more about Advertiser, and that Publisher may, in its discretion, determine the method, scope and penetration of such dissemination (e.g., scope and penetration of directory distribution, delivery quantities, and geographic coverage of the Services). ADVERTISER ASSUMES ALL RISKS CONCERNING THE FUNCTIONALITY, PERFORMANCE AND RESULTS OF THE ADVERTISING AND SERVICES. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE PUBLISHER MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, OR GUARANTEES TO ADVERTISER OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED (INCLUDING ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OR OTHER WARRANTIES ARISING BY USAGE OF TRADE, COURSE OF DEALING, OR COURSE OF PERFORMANCE), REGARDING THE FUNCTIONALITY, PERFORMANCE, OR RESULTS OF THE ADVERTISING OR THE SERVICES OR OTHERWISE UNDER OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT.

If the Product Terms (located at obx.live/terms) applicable to the Service out of which such claim arose provide for make goods, then Publisher’s compliance with its obligations with respect to such make goods will constitute the Publisher Parties’ sole obligation and Advertiser’s sole and exclusive remedy for any breach of this Agreement relating to such Advertising or Service. IN NO EVENT WILL THE PUBLISHER PARTIES’ AGGREGATE LIABILITY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID UNDER THE APPLICABLE ORDER FOR THE SPECIFIC ADVERTISING AND/OR SERVICE AT ISSUE.UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL THE PUBLISHER PARTIES BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, DAMAGES RELATING TO LOSS OF PROFIT, LOSS OF INCOME OR REVENUE, OR LOSS OF GOODWILL, FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING THE RESULT OF ERRORS OR OMISSIONS, THE REJECTION OR REMOVAL OF ANY ADVERTISING, ANY DELAY IN DISPLAYING, PUBLISHER PARTIES’ FAILURE TO DISPLAY OR DISTRIBUTE ADVERTISING, OR PUBLISHER PARTIES’ FAILURE TO PERFORM SERVICES.

17. Force Majeure.

Publisher will not have any liability to Advertiser, and Advertiser will remain responsible for all moneys owed to Publisher, if Publisher’s performance of its obligations is delayed by the occurrence of: (a) fires, floods, earthquakes, elements of nature, acts of God, acts of war, terrorism, riots, civil disorders, rebellions or revolutions, sabotage, embargo, government action or order, blackouts, epidemic or quarantine, strikes/labor difficulties, or any other similar cause; or (b) any event or circumstance within the control of, or caused by information provided by, Advertiser or a third party (including Suppliers).

 

18. Exclusive Venue/Choice of Law; Class Action and Jury Trial Waiver; Binding Arbitration.

You agree that this Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with, and all matters relating to or arising under this Agreement will be governed by, North Carolina law without reference to the laws relating to conflicts of laws. Exclusive venue and jurisdiction for all claims and disputes that are not subject to arbitration pursuant to this Section shall be in the state and federal courts located in Dare County, North Carolina. Advertiser hereby consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of those courts and waives any defenses or objections based on the jurisdiction, venue, or convenience of these exclusive venues. In any legal proceeding relating to this Agreement, the parties agree to waive any right they may have to participate in any class, group, or representative proceeding and to waive any right they may have to a trial by jury. Any claim, controversy, or dispute that arises under or relates to this Agreement (other than claims to collect amounts you owe), including any dispute regarding any Listing or Product, any omissions, incorrect phone numbers or other errors, and any Product placement concerns, shall be referred by the aggrieved party to binding arbitration under the Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitration shall occur in Dare County, North Carolina unless we mutually agree to another location. All Digital Ads and/or Services shall be deemed to have been provided in North Carolina. The arbitration hearing shall be held within 6 months after the filing of the arbitration demand with the AAA. Each party to this Agreement agrees that a final judgment in any such action, claim, dispute, or proceeding is conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

 

19. Miscellaneous.

Publisher’s failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties regarding the subject matter hereof and supersedes all other communications, including all prior agreements, between the parties with respect to such subject matter. For clarity, this Agreement shall not supersede the terms of use or end-user license agreements applicable to any of Publisher’s consumer-facing digital properties (including Publisher’s consumer website and mobile applications) (collectively the “Publisher Consumer Properties”) for any separate use of or access to such Publisher Consumer Properties by Advertiser. Any modification to this Agreement will be binding upon Advertiser if Advertiser continues to use the Services after Advertiser’s receipt of notice of such modifications. If any provision of this Agreement is deemed unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from this Agreement and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. Publisher may assign its rights and duties under this Agreement to any party at any time without notice to Advertiser and upon any such assignment, Advertiser hereby acknowledges and agrees that Publisher shall be released and discharged from further liabilities, duties and obligations hereunder, provided that such release and discharge shall not affect any rights of Publisher or liabilities, duties and obligations owed by Advertiser to Publisher with respect to payments or other obligations due and payable or due to be performed on or prior to the date of such assignment. Advertiser’s rights and duties under this Agreement are not assignable without the written consent of Publisher.
