This contract supersedes all terms and conditions
on FTC’s rate cards, and any previous agreements between FTC and
advertiser/agency relating to the subject matter set forth herein.
FTC’s only obligation to serve advertisements hereunder shall be to
serve advertisements of the advertiser described herein, and in no
event shall FTC be obligated to serve advertisements for any other
advertiser.
2. Changes and Cancellations. All artwork must be received at least
five days in advance of publication date. All text for Internet
radio, other audio or video advertisements must be received at least
ten days in advance of publication date. Cancellations or copy
changes will not be accepted after the published closing date of the
update to the FTC Network site or service on which the advertising
is to run. Changes to artwork or text must be received by FTC at
least five days in advance of requested change date. FTC reserves
the right to change any of its advertising specifications at any
time. Any cancellations or change orders must be made in writing and
acknowledged by FTC. Change orders cannot be submitted any more
frequently than once every fourteen days. This contract may be
canceled or changed (i) by FTC at any time for any or no reason
without notice, or (ii) by advertiser/agency on 30 days written
notice to FTC.
3. Payment. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the first month's
fees are due and payable upon the execution of this contract by the
advertiser/agency and, thereafter, pro rata monthly in advance. If
any payment is not made timely, FTC, at its option, may immediately
terminate the contract. In addition, advertiser/agency shall be
liable to FTC for all attorneys’ fees and other costs of collection.
Interest will accrue on any past due amounts at the rate of [the
lesser of] one and one-half (1 1/2%) percent per month or the
maximum permitted by law. FTC may hold the advertiser and/or its
agency or agent jointly and severally liable for all amounts due.
4. Delivery, Frequency and Fulfillment. All calculations of the
number of advertisements served as determined by FTC shall be the
sole basis of FTC's billing, regardless of whether advertiser/agency
is using the services of a third party ad server. If FTC fails to
provide the guaranteed number of impressions, FTC will supplement
its impressions as described below. FTC will not supplement for
under-delivery due to delays caused by advertiser/agency.
Advertiser/agency understands that all frequency discounts are based
on the advertiser's/agency's commitment to fulfilling the frequency
indicated in the contract. If, for any reason, this frequency is not
met by the expiration or cancellation of the contract,
advertiser/agency agrees to pay a short rate charge on all ads run.
This charge will be equal to the difference between the rate shown
in the contract and the rate earned based on the applicable rate
card for the actual frequency completed.
6. Redesigning of the FTC Network Sites or Services.
Advertiser/agency acknowledges that, consistent with FTC’S need for
editorial discretion, FTC may redesign, delete or replace the pages,
programs or channels on which the impressions will be displayed or
transmitted or may redesign or replace the type of links, buttons,
boxes, banners, and Internet radio, audio or video advertisements
purchased by advertiser/agency; provided, that FTC will use good
faith efforts to provide advertiser/agency with comparable links,
buttons, boxes, banners, and Internet radio, audio or video
advertisements.
7. Rejections. FTC reserves the right, without liability, to reject,
omit or exclude any advertisement or to reject or terminate any
links, buttons, boxes or banners for any reason at any time, with or
without notice to the advertiser/agency, and whether or not such
advertisement, link, button, box or banner was previously
acknowledged, accepted, or published.
8. Licenses and Indemnification. Advertiser/agency grants FTC the
right to use, reproduce, publicly display and distribute
advertiser's advertisements and collateral information and warrants
that advertiser/agency has the right to grant such license.
Advertiser/Agency represents that the advertiser is the owner or is
licensed to use the entire contents and subject matter contained in
its advertisements and collateral information, including, without
limitation, (a) the names and/or pictures of persons; (b) any
copyrighted material, trademarks, service marks, logos, and/or
depictions of trademarked or service marked goods or services; and
(c) any testimonials or endorsements contained in any advertisement
submitted to FTC. In addition, advertiser/agency represents that the
advertiser's advertisements and collateral information do not
violate any applicable local, state or federal law or regulation. In
consideration of FTC’S acceptance of such advertisements and
information for publication, the advertiser and agency will jointly
and severally indemnify and hold harmless FTC and its officers,
directors, shareholders, employees, accountants, attorneys, agents,
parent, affiliates, subsidiaries, successors and assigns from and
against any and all third party claims, damages, liabilities, costs
and expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, arising
out of or related to: (i) advertiser/agency's breach of any
covenants, representations and warranties made therein, (ii) FTC’S
performance under this contract, and (iii) the copying, printing,
distributing, transmitting or publishing of advertiser's/agency's
advertisements or collateral information by FTC.
9. Limitation of Liability. In the event (i) FTC fails to publish an
advertisement in accordance with the schedule provided in the
Insertion Order, (ii) FTC fails to deliver the number of total
impressions specified in the Insertion order (if any) by the end of
the specified period, or (iii) of any other failure, technical of
otherwise, of such advertisement to appear or be transmitted as
provided in the Insertion Order, the sole liability of FTC to
advertiser/agency shall be limited to, at FTC’S sole discretion, a
pro rata refund of the advertising fee representing the undelivered
impressions, placement of the advertisement at a later time in a
comparable position, or extension of the term of the Insertion Order
until total impressions are delivered. In addition, FTC is not
responsible for the quality and/or clarity of any Internet radio,
audio or video advertisements. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL FTC BE
LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, FOR LOST INCOME OR PROFITS,
IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS CONTRACT, EVEN IF FTC
HAS BEEN ADVISED AS TO THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
10. Choice of Law and Forum. This contract shall be interpreted and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California,
without regard to its conflicts of laws provision, and with the same
force and effect as if fully executed and performed therein. Each
party hereby consents to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the
State of California, acknowledges that venue is proper only in any
state or Federal court in the State of California, agrees that any
action related to this contract must be brought in a state or
Federal court in the State of California, and waives any objection
that may exist, now or in the future, with respect to any of the
foregoing.
11. Credit Cards. In the event that advertiser/agency pays any
amounts due hereunder with a credit card and the issuer of the
credit card fails to pay the amounts authorized by
advertiser/agency, advertiser/agency shall immediately remit full
payment to FTC plus any interest due on the outstanding amounts. In
addition, if advertiser/agency pays any amounts due hereunder with a
credit card and the issuer of the credit card seeks to recover from
FTC any amounts received by FTC from the issuer, advertiser/agency
shall immediately remit to FTC all amounts necessary to comply with
the issuer's request and any costs and expenses incurred by FTC.
12. Miscellaneous. No public statements concerning the existence or
terms of this contract will be made or released [to any medium]
except with the prior approval of both parties or as required by
law. Advertiser/agency may not resell, assign or transfer any of its
rights hereunder, and any attempt to resell, assign or transfer such
rights shall result in immediate termination of this contract,
without liability to FTC. If any portion of the contract is found
unenforceable for any reason, the reminder will remain in full force
and effect. No waiver by FTC shall operate as a waiver of any other
provision or any subsequent default. This document represents the
entire agreement of the parties; FTC will not be bound by the
representations of any agents, brokers, or other third parties. Any
modifications must be in writing and signed by an authorized
representative of FTC. All terms of this contract, which by their
nature extend beyond its termination, remain in effect until
fulfilled and apply to the respective successors and assigns. In the
event of contract termination due to reselling, assignment and/or
transfer, FTC shall be entitled to retain all unearned fees.
The undersigned is legally empowered with due corporate authority to
enter into this contract and agrees to be bound by the Terms and
Conditions of this contract.
