Honest History Co. Digital Advertising Terms & Conditions
Terms governed by IAB Terms & Conditions 3.0 with the exception of the following (which govern in the event of any discrepancy with the IAB Terms & Conditions):
By placing an Insertion Order for digital advertising on a website, podcast, mobile application, or in an email of Honest History Co., ("Publisher"), Advertiser agrees to the following terms and conditions with respect to such advertising (collectively, "Terms"). All references herein to Advertiser include Advertiser's agency, if there is one, and Advertiser and its agency shall be jointly and severally liable for Advertiser's obligations hereunder.
1. Insertion Order; Optimization; Ad Servers. Publisher agrees to deliver, and Advertiser each agree to pay for the services on the applicable Insertion Order which Insertion Order is incorporated herein by this reference (collectively, "Services"), according to rates specified on the Insertion Order and subject to these Terms. Subject to available inventory and appropriate rate adjustment, positions on the Insertion Order may be adjusted (each, an "Optimization"); provided that the total financial obligation of the Advertiser under the Insertion Order is not reduced. Optimizations are subject to Publisher's prior approval, with applicable terms documented via email, and the confirmation of acceptance by Advertiser via reply email, and such terms shall be binding on Advertiser and made part of the Insertion Order as though fully set forth therein.
2. Ad Servers and Counting. Publisher shall only recognize its third party ad servers and other nationally recognized third party ad servers as may be agreed upon in writing by Publisher and the Advertiser in advance. Any of Advertiser's and/or its agency's third party ad server reporting that is not pre-approved by Publisher in writing is not accepted.
(a) Shortfall in Campaign. If actual impressions delivered with respect to a particular advertisement placement falls below guaranteed levels on the Insertion Order according to the agreed- upon ad server counts by more than 10%, and/or if there is an omission of any advertisement (placement or creative unit), Publisher will continue the campaign until such time as the level of impressions equals the guarantee on the Insertion Order. Makeups of shortfalls are not available (a) when under-delivery or omission of an advertisement is attributable to Advertiser's and/or agency's (i) delayed, incorrect or incompatible Ad Materials or (ii) failure to follow applicable Policies (as defined in Section 4 below), (b) for failure to deliver impressions according to any specific daily or weekly distribution, (c) for impressions marked on the Insertion Order as "estimated" or "not guaranteed", (d) for sponsorship, exclusive or similar placements, or (e) for preemptive placements and/or impressions. This section sets forth the sole and exclusive remedy for any failure of Publisher to fulfill its obligations under the Insertion Order.
(b) Bonus Impressions. Placements for a specified term shall run for the specified time regardless of over-delivery, unless the Insertion Order establishes an impression cap for third party ad served activity, and Advertiser shall not be charged by Publisher for any additional advertisements above any level guaranteed in the Insertion Order. If a previously approved third party ad server is being used and Advertiser notifies Publisher that the guaranteed level stated in the Insertion Order has been reached, Publisher will use commercially reasonable efforts to suspend delivery promptly. If the over-delivery exceeds the guaranteed level in the Insertion Order by an amount in excess of 10% and Advertiser is using a third party ad server, then Publisher will reimburse or credit Advertiser for fees, if any, charged by the third party ad server for trafficking ads in excess of 10% above the guarantee.
3. Cancellation. (a) Cancellation of custom programs will result in billing for costs incurred. (b) Sponsorship dates cannot be moved after booked. Cancellation and alteration notification must be sent via email to your account executive or partnerships@honesthistory.co to be followed by revised paperwork.
4. Ad Materials; Late Creative. Artwork, copy, audio recordings, other content, active URLs and other components of the advertisement (collectively, "Ad Materials") must comply with Publisher's criteria and specifications for its applicable website(s) or other digital media platforms (collectively, the "Policies"), as updated from time-to-time in Publisher's discretion. Ad Materials must be received at least five (5) business days prior to the scheduled start date or within the timeframe in the Policies for the applicable ad type if such timeframe is greater. If Ad Materials are not received within such timeframe, or if provided incorrectly or inconsistent with the Policies, then guaranteed impressions and Publisher's obligations will be reduced pro-rata for the period of time that reserved space was not filled; however, Advertiser will remain liable for the full fee set forth in the Insertion Order for all impressions ordered and inventory reserved. All Ad Materials are subject to Publisher's approval, which may be denied for any reason in Publisher's sole discretion. Publisher reserves the right, at any time and for any reason in its discretion, to cancel or cease publication of any Ad Materials, space reservation, or position commitment, without any liability, and in such event, Advertiser will be liable to pay only for those impressions actually served.
5. Payment Terms; Taxes. If Publisher approves credit, Advertiser will be invoiced promptly under terms set on the Insertion Order for amounts set forth on the Insertion Order and payment shall be made to Publisher within thirty (30) days from the date of invoice ("Due Date"). If Advertiser fails to make timely payment, Advertiser will be responsible for all reasonable expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by Publisher in collecting such amounts. Publisher reserves the right to suspend credit and/or performance of its obligations if Advertiser fails to make timely payment. Fees on the Insertion Orders are exclusive of all taxes. Advertiser shall be responsible for payment of all taxes, duties and similar charges assessed in connection with the Services or on any payments made by Advertiser hereunder, excluding taxes on Publisher's net income. If agency is the signing party placing an Insertion Order for the benefit of its client, then agency is responsible for all payments hereunder regardless of whether it has received payment from its client. However, Publisher reserves the right to hold agency and Advertiser jointly and severally liable for all payments. No fees payable hereunder may be reduced as a result of any claim, rebate, makegood or other claim of set-off that Advertiser may have or claim to have as a result of an insertion of print advertising in any magazines published by Publisher or its affiliates.
