3.1 Developer Revenue
3.1.1 “Developer Revenue” represents revenue earned by Developer based on sales for advertisements served to the Developer Inventory via the Audiomob Services at a 60/40 revenue share basis.
3.1.2 Audiomob shall provide Developer with a monthly statement, which includes the Developer Revenue for the previous month (the “Monthly Statement”), to be issued by Audiomob each month relating to the Developer Revenue generated in the previous month. If Developer does not raise any issues in writing with regard to any Monthly Statement within thirty (30) days of receipt, Developer will forfeit its right to do so. Developer acknowledges that all numbers displayed in any other reporting apart from the Monthly Statement made available by Audiomob do not represent valid numbers for billing purposes.
3.1.3 Developer shall raise an invoice to Audiomob, in the format and providing the details required by Audiomob, relating to each Monthly Statement (the “Developer Invoice”) once the Developer has approved the Monthly Statement on the online dashboard.
3.1.4 Audiomob shall pay Developer the Developer Revenue (when in aggregate over $500), net of any applicable fees and charges that will be notified to the Developer, within sixty (60) days following receipt by Audiomob of the Developer Invoice. Any unpaid Developer Revenue under $500 in an applicable month shall rollover and accrue in the next calendar month.
3.2 Revenue Collection. Any Developer Revenue that remains unpaid by a Demand Partner for a period greater than one-hundred twenty (120) days of the invoice date shall be deemed an “Outstanding Receivable”, and an adjustment for such Outstanding Receivable may be made in the subsequent Monthly Statement Developer shall then have the right to pursue collection of the Outstanding Receivable directly from the applicable Demand Partner, with reasonable assistance from Audiomob upon request. The Audiomob Fees related to an Outstanding Receivable shall only be payable as to the portion of the Outstanding Receivable collected by Developer or Audiomob from the Demand Partner.
3.3 Inventory Quality. Audiomob uses third parties to test the quality of advertising impressions from Developer Properties served through the Audiomob Services. Developer shall provide Audiomob with complete transparency with respect to the domain for each such Developer Property at all times during the Term, and shall comply, and reasonably assist upon request, with the Inventory Quality controls and procedures (including whitelisting and blacklisting) that Audiomob may institute. For purposes of this Section, “Inventory Quality Risk” consists of, without limitation: a) inventory quality issues (e.g., attempts to generate false impressions, either by using bots and crawlers, or manipulation of ad placements, or redirects where there is no possibility of viewing or listening by a human), and b) brand safety issues (e.g., appearance of ads in proximity of Prohibited Content on the Developer Site). If Audiomob detects Inventory Quality Risk on Developer Properties through use of such tools and services or otherwise, then Audiomob may either (i) not send that impression through to auction, or (ii) suspend traffic for such Developer Properties.
3.3.1 In the event that Audiomob becomes aware of inventory quality violations with respect to impressions that have been served on a Developer Property, then: (a) Audiomob shall have the right to withhold Developer Payments solely for the applicable impressions until Audiomob has completed its good faith investigation with respect to such impressions and concluded any negotiation with the applicable Demand Partners with respect to such impressions; and (b) where Audiomob determines that there have been inventory quality violations for all or a portion of such impressions (the “Fraudulent Impressions”), Audiomob shall reduce pending Developer Payments by the amount otherwise payable to Developer for the Fraudulent Impressions and pay Developer the resulting net amount in the ordinary course.
3.3.2 If there are Fraudulent Impressions served to Audiomob on a repeated basis with respect to one or more Developer Properties, Audiomob shall have the right to immediately suspend traffic for some or all Developer Properties until the levels of Fraudulent Impressions have been reduced to acceptable levels, or to immediately terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Developer, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.2 below.
3.4 Taxes. Developer will pay all taxes (including excise, sales, use, consumption, value-added or withholding taxes), customs or import duties, or any other levies, tariffs, duties or governmental fees that are due or payable in connection with this Agreement (“Taxes”), with the exception of taxes on Audiomob’s net income.
4. Term
4.1 Term. The initial term of this Agreement shall begin as of the Effective Date and shall continue as set forth in the Principal Terms above (the “Initial Term”), unless earlier terminated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. At the end of the Initial Term and each renewal term thereafter (together with the Initial Term, the “Term”), the term of this Agreement shall automatically renew for consecutive twelve (12) month periods (each a “Renewal Term”) unless either party provides the other party with written notice of non-renewal at least thirty (30) days prior to the date of the then existing Renewal Term.
4.2 Termination for Cause. Either party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement if the other party breaches any material term or condition of this Agreement and fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice of such breach. Termination of this Agreement by either party for breach will be a non-exclusive remedy for breach and will be without prejudice to any other right or remedy of such party.
