These Terms of Service ("TOS") are entered into by the customer signing these terms or any document that references this TOS or that accepts this TOS electronically ("Customer") and Chase Mobile Media ("CHASE"). This TOS governs Customer's participation in CHASE's ChaseClicks internet advertising service (as more fully described below, the “ChaseClicks Program”) and in order forms executed by and between the parties in connection with or related to the ChaseClicks Program ("Order Forms") and/or Customer's online management of any advertising campaigns accessed as part of the services offered by CHASE in conjunction with, or ancillary to, the ChaseClicks Program, as described below in the TOS. This TOS and any applicable insertion orders are collectively referred to as the "Agreement." Customer must agree to the TOS in order to participate in the ChaseClicks Program and purchase ChaseClicks products and services.
1. ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS. CHASE provides the ChaseClick Program to Customer subject to the TOS, which may be updated by CHASE from time to time without notice to Customer. The most current version of the TOS may be reviewed at any time at: http://www.chase-clicks.com/tos.html. In addition, when using particular CHASE owned or operated services, Customer and CHASE shall be subject to any posted policies and guidelines or rules applicable to such services, which may be posted from time to time by CHASE on such site. All such guidelines or rules are hereby incorporated by reference into the TOS.
2. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES. Generally, CHASE will provide Customer with assistance in online advertising strategies, creation of suggested ad copy, and purchase of ad placement with various online search engine businesses that accept advertisements for Customer (each entity being referred to herein as a "Publisher" and CHASE's services, including the ChaseClicks Program described herein, collectively being referred to herein as the "Services") as part of an overall advertising campaign. Customer understands and agrees that the Services are made available through the ChaseClicks Program, which allows Customer to purchase specified volumes of Ads, measured on a pay-per-click ("PPC") traffic basis, through multiple Publishers. CHASE may, in its sole discretion, determine the Publishers from whom the volume of PPC will be obtained. For purposes of the TOS, each online advertisement generated and sold through the ChaseClicks Program shall be deemed an "Ad," and the overall purchasing decisions for such Ad among Publishers shall be deemed the "Advertising Campaign". Customer understands and agrees that the Ads may include certain communications from CHASE, such as service announcements, administrative messages, and that these communications are considered part of CHASE customer communication and that Customer will not be able to opt out of receiving them. For each Advertising Campaign, Customer will provide CHASE with ad information, ad content and ad URLs (the "Content"), and CHASE will generate as part of the Services a suggested Ad, including ad copy that contains the Content (the "Creative"). As between the parties, Customer owns all Content, including all intellectual property rights thereto, and CHASE owns the Creative (excepting the Content contained therein) and the ChaseClicks Program in whole and in part, and all intellectual property rights thereto. Customer understands and agrees that all Ad placements are made subject to the terms and conditions of applicable Publishers for accepting and purchasing such Ads. Customer agrees to such terms and conditions, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. As part of the Services, CHASE will provide Customer with access to CHASE's Merchant Center which provides various information about Customer's applicable Advertising Campaigns, including activity reports. While CHASE will use its reasonable efforts to ensure that the information available through the Merchant Center is accurate and timely, Customer understands and agrees that the Services is provided "as-is" and that CHASE assumes no responsibility for the timeliness, deletion, misdelivery or failure to store any data provided within or generated through the Services, including any user communications or personalization settings. Customer is responsible for obtaining access to the ChaseClicks Program, and that access may involve third-party fees (such as Internet service provider or airtime charges). Customer is responsible for those fees. In addition, Customer must provide and is responsible for all equipment necessary to access the ChaseClicks Program. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new features which augment or enhance the current Services, including the release of new CHASE products and services, shall be subject to the TOS.
3. CHASECLICKS PROGRAM PRODUCTS. General. The ChaseClicks Program offers various products as identified in the Order Form. The Order Form details the duration of the Advertising Campaign by number of clicks or by duration of time (such period shall be deemed the "Advertising Campaign Term"), the classification of Customer's business and related pricing of such product, and related matters, all as set forth in this TOS and the Order Forms. Guaranteed Clicks. CHASE's "Guaranteed Clicks" product offered under the ChaseClicks Program is based on an annual or bi-annual term and price, not a monthly term and price, and the number of Guaranteed Clicks set forth on the Order Form is equal to the number of aggregate clicks on Customer's Ad over the course of the annual period. Customer acknowledges and understands that clicks on an Ad presented with a Publisher are consumer driven and are directly correlated with a consumer's buying interest in an advertiser's offer of goods and services. Due to seasonality, duration of the contract, economic business conditions, consumer sentiment and other factors beyond CHASE's control, the actual number of clicks received per month may vary. CHASE uses proprietary technology to monitor and meter performance of Ad buys throughout the Advertising Campaign Term, and targets such Ad buys with Publishers to complete the number of Guaranteed Clicks by the end of the Advertising Campaign Term. Budget. CHASE’s "Budget" product offered under the ChaseClicks Program provides an initial purchase commitment for the period set forth in the Order Form, and thereafter continues under a monthly renewable term at new contract prices. Dynamic Web Content Replacement. Certain products may include the Dynamic Web Content Replacement feature. If the product selected by Customer includes this feature among the Services, CHASE will direct online traffic intended for the Customer's website to a webpage developed for Customer that will be either a Landing Page or a dynamically created webpage in which CHASE may substitute contact information for Call Tracking phone numbers or email addresses which allow CHASE to track the traffic directed to the Customer. A "Landing Page" is a website that users will be directed to when an ad generated and distributed to the Publisher by CHASE is placed on Customer's behalf. Customer agrees that on the Landing Page or any other dynamically created web pages, all Content shall be owned by Customer, but all Creative therein shall be owned by CHASE. While CHASE will take reasonable measures to ensure that the dynamically created webpage is generally accessible through the Internet, CHASE does not warrant that it can be accessed through all Internet browsers, or through any device that can access the Internet. In all events, CHASE shall have no liability in connection with any failure of availability or usability of any dynamically created webpage or other Internet site. CHASE may, from time to time, change the format of the Landing Page or dynamically created webpage.
4. PAYMENT. Customer agrees to pay CHASE the rates set forth in the Order Form for the applicable Advertising Campaign package, at the intervals set forth in the Order Form. Products and rates are determined based on Customer's business category selection during the purchase process, provided that CHASE reserves the right to review such selections and reallocate Customer's selected category and related pricing if, in CHASE's reasonable discretion, Customer’s business is more accurately represented by such different category. In addition, CHASE reserves the right to change these rates at any time immediately and without notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, CHASE shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Customer in advance of any such changes.
5. TERM AND TERMINATION. The term of Customer's Advertising Campaign, and the duration of the Services will begin on the date Customer’s ChaseClick’s Program “goes live” and shall continue until the conclusion of the Advertising Campaign Term. Customer agrees that CHASE may, under certain circumstances and without prior notice, immediately terminate Customer's ChaseClicks account, any associated email address, and access to the ChaseClicks Program. Cause for such termination shall include, but shall not be limited to, (a) breaches or violations of the TOS or other incorporated agreements or guidelines, (b) requests by law enforcement or other government agencies, (c) a request by Customer (self-initiated account deletions), (d) discontinuance or material modification to the ChaseClicks Program (or any part thereof), (e) unexpected technical or security issues or problems, (f) extended periods of inactivity, (g) engagement by Customer in fraudulent or illegal activities, and/or (h) nonpayment of any fees owed by Customer in connection with the Services. Termination of Customer's ChaseClicks account includes (i) removal of access to all offerings within the ChaseClicks Program, (ii) deletion of Customer's password and all related information, files and content associated with or inside Customer's account (or any part thereof), and (iii) barring of further use of the ChaseClicks Program and the other Services. Further, Customer agrees that any termination for cause shall be made by CHASE in its sole discretion and that CHASE shall not be liable to Customer or any third party for any termination of Customer's account, any associated email address, or access to the ChaseClicks Program or other Services.
6. AGENCY. Customer represents and warrants that (a) it is authorized to act on behalf of and has bound to this Agreement any third party for which Customer advertises (a "Principal"), and (b) as between Principal and Customer, the Principal owns any rights to Content provided for Ads.
7. CANCELLATION & REFUNDS. Customer has the limited right to cancel Customer's account to the ChaseClicks Program and the other Services at any time during the Advertising Campaign Term, subject to the terms of this Section, and provided that (a) for all products, Customer commits to purchase on a nonrefundable basis a minimum of three (3) months of the ChaseClicks Program, (b) any pre-paid monthly fees shall not be refundable, and (c) for any cancellation, Customer must provide CHASE with at least two (2) weeks written notice prior to the processing of the following month's payment. In the event an Advertising Campaign is cancelled, Customer may be charged a cancellation fee of $100 in the discretion of CHASE. If an Advertising Campaign is cancelled, Customer will be charged the established set up fee to restart the Advertising Campaign in the future. For all products, all monies associated with Ad purchases with applicable Publishers that are already scheduled and committed as of the date of any cancellation of Customer's account shall be nonrefundable. Upon cancellation of the Advertising Campaign prior to the expiration of the Advertising Campaign Term for the Guaranteed Clicks product, CHASE will measure the pro-rated performance over the Advertising Campaign Term and will charge Customer a final payment for any amount in excess of the pro-rated target paced amount of clicks, not to exceed 125% of the pro-rated target paced amount. If the cumulative amount billed is in excess of the pro-rated target performance, the difference will be refunded. For the Budget product, CHASE will allocate the entirety of Customer's applicable budget for that product over the course of the Advertising Campaign Term. In the event that a portion of Customer's budget has not been used as of such date, the pro-rata portion will be refunded to Customer promptly after the end of the Advertising Campaign Term.
8. CUSTOMER’S REGISTRATION OBLIGATIONS. In consideration of Customer's use of the Services, Customer represents that it is of legal age to form a binding contract and is not a person barred from receiving services under the laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdiction. Customer also agrees to: (a) provide true, accurate, current and complete information about Customer as prompted by the ChaseClicks Program’s registration form (the "Registration Data") and (b) maintain and promptly update the Registration Data to keep it true, accurate, current and complete.
