Privacy Policy
-
The following terms and conditions (this "Agreement") is a legal
agreement between Admordlead ("Admordlead"), and PUBLISHER.
PUBLISHER and Admordlead may also be individually referred to
herein as a "Party" and collectively as "Parties." If there is any
conflict between these Terms and Conditions and the Insertion
Order(s), the Insertion Order(s) shall control.
-
1.) Service: PUBLISHER will display the Advertisement and perform
lead generation services described in the attached Insertion Order.
"Advertisement" means the advertisement, including any copy
including questions and or text ads, graphic, sound, video,
programming code and/or other content that comprises the
advertisement, as well as the websites to which an advertisement is
linked if applicable. Admordlead hereby grants to PUBLISHER during
the Contract Period a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide right
and license by all means and in any media, whether now known or
hereafter discovered, to use, reproduce, distribute, publicly
perform, publicly display and digitally perform such Advertisement
and all its constituent parts.
-
2.) Qualified Lead Definition (Qualified Leads): Qualified Leads are
prospects who meet Admordlead’s screening criteria as described in
the Insertion Order and who provide their complete contact data.
PUBLISHER will be paid on a delivered per lead basis defined as when
a user agrees through a pre approved opt-in method to be contacted.
In the case of any dispute between the parties as to the number of
Qualified Leads, Admordlead’s numbers will control.
-
3.) Lead Validation Procedure:
Admordlead will verify each Qualified Lead delivered by the
PUBLISHER. Upon receipt, all Qualified Leads will be checked for
data validity (i.e. containing valid data inputs for the fields
specified in the Insertion Order) and uniqueness of data (i.e. that
the Qualified Leads are not present in Admordlead’s database for
the designated Advertisement in the past 60 days). Admordlead
reserves the right to send an auto-responder to all respondents
re-confirming their request for information. Any objections from
respondents (about the email, or the offer) will be raised to the
PUBLISHER.
-
4.) Creative Changes: Editing of Admordlead’s Creative is strictly
prohibited, without prior written approval from Admordlead.
Creative includes, but is not limited to, text ads, graphic ads,
from and subject line, any copy associated with the campaign
including survey questions and answers. Any changes to Creative,
without prior written permission will result in the loss of payment
of Leads.
-
5.) Compliance: Admordlead will actively monitor PUBLISHER activity
using a combination of its proprietary software and third party
monitoring services. It is the obligation of PUBLISHER to prove to
Admordlead that they are not committing fraud. Admordlead will
hold PUBLISHER payment in ‘Pending Status’ until PUBLISHER has
satisfactorily provided evidence that PUBLISHER is not defrauding
the system. Admordlead flags accounts that: Have click-through
rates that are much higher than industry averages and where solid
justification is not evident; Have only click programs generating
clicks with no indication by site traffic that it can sustain the
clicks reported; Have shown fraudulent leads as determined by our
clients or Use fake redirects, automated software, and/or fraud to
generate clicks or leads. If PUBLISHER is unable to prove to
Admordlead that PUBLISHER is not committing fraud, PUBLISHER will
forfeit its entire commission for all programs and PUBLISHER’s
account will be terminated. Admordlead reserves sole judgment in
determining fraud.
-
6.) Advertising Guidelines: PUBLISHER may, in its complete
discretion, reject, cancel or remove at any time any Advertisement
from the service for any reason without prior notice to Admordlead.
PUBLISHER must notify Admordlead following the rejection,
cancellation or removal of any Advertisement from the service within
24 hours.
-
7.) Term & Target Launch: Term will be one (1) month from the
target launch of the initial campaign as noted in the Insertion
Order. Agreement may continue thereafter by mutual consent but may
be terminated by either party for any reason whatsoever. All
legitimate moneys due to PUBLISHER will be paid during the next
billing cycle. If PUBLISHER defrauds the system, then payment is
revoked as determined solely by Admordlead.
-
8.) Payment: PUBLISHER will invoice Admordlead on a monthly basis
at the payout rates reflected in the Insertion Order. The invoice
will reflect delivery of final Qualified Lead numbers that are based
upon numbers reported by Admordlead to PUBLISHER pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement. In the event Admordlead does not receive
payment from ADVERTISER for any reason including, but not limited
to, traffic provided by PUBLISHER, Admordlead shall have no
obligation to make payment to PUBLISHER.

the maximum rate allowed by law, whichever is greater. Parties shall
keep, maintain and preserve, for the term of this Agreement and for
one (1) year thereafter, accurate records relating to amounts due
hereunder (the “Relevant Records”). Either party shall have a right
at least once per calendar year to audit the Relevant Records of the
other party for the purpose of verifying fulfillment of party’s
payment obligations pursuant to this Agreement. Each audit will be
conducted at a place agreed to by the parties, during the normal
business hours, with at least ten (10) business days prior written
notice to party to be audited. Auditing party shall pay the fees and
expenses of the audit, unless the audit reveals a payment

immediately pay to auditing party all amounts found to be due.
