Vidiply Terms and Conditions
These Vidiply Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) are entered into by REEMBED Inc. (“reEmbed”) and the entity executing an Insertion Order or using the Vidiply dashboard (“Customer”). These Terms govern Customer’s use of the Vidiply service, and together with an Insertion Order (or the information entered through the Vidiply dashboard (“Dashboard”)) comprise the "Agreement" between reEmbed and Customer. If there is any inconsistency between: (i) the terms of a signed Insertion Order or those entered through the Dashboard (either “Campaign Details”), and (ii) these Terms, the Campaign Details as applicable, shall prevail.
- Services.
- reEmbed partners with a network of online properties (the “Network”) and displays a user interface containing links to content that navigate to the websites where such content is maintained (the “Service”). reEmbed uses its proprietary algorithms to determine what links to Content appear within the Service on the Network.
- reEmbed shall display links to graphical, textual, visual and/or auditory content selected by Customer (the links and the content accessed from the link together are the “Content”) on the Network through the Service. Customer will only be charged for the number of clicks on Content. Fees will be based on the number of clicks received multiplied by the cost-per-click determined by Customer in the Campaign Details (“CPC”), provided that the CPC may not be less than reEmbed’s then-in-effect minimum CPC (which may vary by market). reEmbed shall continue to distribute the Content on the Network until the earlier of: (i) the end date, (ii) reaching Customer’s budget, or (iii) Customer disabling a campaign through the Dashboard, each of (i), (ii) and (iii) as specified by Customer in the Campaign Details (provided that reEmbed reserves the right to charge for additional clicks as Content is removed from circulation.
- reEmbed will make reports available to the Customer, which provide information about the number of clicks received during the campaign. The final monthly reports may differ from the daily reports. The final monthly reports will provide the conclusive basis for reEmbed's calculation of the fees owed by Customer. Customer may submit its own reEmbed-compatible click tracker. If there is a 10% discrepancy or more between Customer's numbers (based on the reEmbed-compatible click tracker) and reEmbed's numbers then the parties agree to work in good faith to identify the correct amount to be paid to reEmbed. If the discrepancy is less than 10%, reEmbed's numbers shall be conclusive.
- reEmbed does not guarantee: (i) the placement, positioning or the timing of delivery of any Content, (ii) clicks on any Content, or (iii) conversions. If the Content does not receive clicks amounting to the budget, Customer's sole remedies shall be to: (i) extend the end date of the applicable campaign, (ii) replace or add to the Content with other Content (also subject to Section 2 below) to complete the campaign; or (iii) to pay only for actual clicks on the Content. In no event shall reEmbed be liable for failure to provide clicks.
- Content
- Customer authorizes reEmbed to place the Content on the Network and is solely responsible for determining the propriety and legality of the Content. In addition, Content selected by Customer must comply with reEmbed's Content Guidelines, as may be updated from time to time by reEmbed. reEmbed may at any time for any or no reason reject or remove Content. Customer acknowledges that reEmbed is not responsible for the Content and that the Content may change during the course of a campaign due to revisions by the Content's author, comments from readers, or otherwise. Customer's recourse in the event of such change shall be to direct reEmbed to remove such Content from its then-current campaign and/or select other Content. Customer further acknowledges that, if there is an objection from a Content author or publisher, reEmbed shall cease including the Content in the Service.
- Customer represents and warrants that: (i) if the Content was written by or under the direction of Customer or paid for by Customer, that fact shall be clearly disclosed on or near the Content; (ii) it is authorized to use and/or has approved all words of the Content’s headline (whether written by Customer or on Customer’s behalf); and (iii) Content headlines accurately reflect the tone and subject matter of the Content.
- Customer shall not, directly or indirectly, provide Content that: (i) is obscene, defamatory, libelous, slanderous, pornographic, violent, profane, indecent or unlawful; (ii) is factually inaccurate, misleading or deceptive; or (iii) facilitates or promotes any type of illegal activity, including without limitation pyramid schemes, gambling, the sale or use of illicit drugs, or discrimination or harassment of any individual or group. Further, each piece of Customer Content shall neither (a) redirect to a destination other than as originally submitted to the Service, and/or (b) be substantively different from the Content originally submitted to the Service.
- Term and Cancellation.
The Campaign Details will set forth the start and end date of a particular campaign. However, the Agreement, or an individual campaign may be suspended or terminated: (i) by Customer for any reason upon two (2) business days' written notice to reEmbed or within twelve (12) hours through the Dashboard, or (ii) by reEmbed for any reason upon thirty days (30) days’ written notice to Customer. During the notice period, all previously contracted campaigns shall continue to run pursuant to the Campaign Details and Customer shall be responsible for paying reEmbed for all clicks received during such notice period. reEmbed also reserves the right to suspend or terminate Customer's use of the Service if reEmbed reasonably believes Customer is in breach of the terms of this Agreement.
- Campaign Details
Customer is solely responsible for all changes requested or approved (either directly or via reEmbed's API), including those made through the Dashboard using its login. Customer is solely responsible for protecting its login and password to the Dashboard. Customer can manage campaigns using the Dashboard by modifying the Campaign Details, and/or Customer may have the option of working with an reEmbed account manager, as determined by reEmbed.
- Fees and Payment Terms
- Customer shall pay reEmbed fees (based on the number of clicks on the Content, as measured by reEmbed's tracking system, multiplied by the CPC) and any applicable taxes. Customer may increase the budget through the Dashboard or through an amendment to an Insertion Order.
- If Customer has signed an Insertion Order, fees will generally be invoiced by reEmbed to Customer within thirty (30) days of the end of each calendar month for clicks received during the previous month, unless otherwise set forth in an IO. Customer shall pay all invoices within thirty (30) days from receipt. If Customer has provided the Campaign Details through the Dashboard and has not signed an Insertion Order providing for invoicing, reEmbed shall charge the reEmbed fees to Customer’s credit card at such intervals as reEmbed determines in its sole discretion. The decision as to whether to allow Customer to choose between invoice and credit card rests solely with reEmbed. reEmbed shall review all billing inquiries, including refund requests, on a case-by-case basis and reserves the right to approve or deny any request in its sole discretion.
- If payment is not made when due, reEmbed may charge interest at the rate of 6% per annum from the due date until the date of actual payment, whether before or after judgment. reEmbed also reserves the right to suspend or terminate Customer's use of the Service until Customer has paid all amounts due and to charge Customer for all costs of collection, including collection agency and reasonable legal fees and court costs. Customer authorizes reEmbed to investigate Customer's credit record. If applicable, Customer agrees to provide such further financial information and documentation as may be required from time to time by reEmbed as a condition for the continued extension of credit. Customer acknowledges and agrees that any account, credit card and related billing and payment information which Customer provides to reEmbed may be shared by reEmbed with companies who work on reEmbed's behalf solely for the purpose of performing credit checks, effecting payment to reEmbed, collecting debts owed to reEmbed and/or servicing Customer's account.
