Global Intermedia does not guarantee any effects of Advertiser’s Campaign, in particular Global Intermedia does not guarantee to deliver any number of visitors or Clicks. Advertiser also understands that Global Intermedia does not guarantee sales or sign-ups (i.e., conversions) and will not issue a refund if none are achieved. Global Intermedia does not guarantee any sales and will not be held responsible if sales are not generated.

In no event shall Global Intermedia be liable for any consequential, direct, indirect, incidental, punitive, or other damages whatsoever (including, but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, loss of information or other pecuniary loss) arising out of the use or inability to use Advertiser’s Campaign, even if Global Intermedia or Advertiser has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

For the duration of the contract, Global Intermedia grants the Advertiser the revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable and non-sub-licensable right to use the Global Intermedia for own business purposes in accordance with these Terms and Conditions.

To facilitate the depositing of funds, the Advertiser is provided with multiple payment options such as Bank Wire and PayPal. The currency accepted and used within Global Intermedia is United States Dollars. Deposited funds can be used only for purchase of traffic via different types of campaigns available in Global Intermedia. Deposited funds do not expire and can be used to purchase traffic at any time. Advertiser may request to obtain a credit limit and can be granted it based on the individual decision of Global Intermedia. Global Intermedia reserves the right to cancel the credit limit in its absolute and sole discretion at any time.

Payments are based on Clicks and depend on Proxy Bidding results.

Advertiser understands and agrees that the statistics system provided by Global Intermedia shall serve as the official record of traffic and Clicks delivered throughout the Advertiser’s Campaign. Other ways of tracking the traffic are acceptable based on individual request from Advertiser and after written approval from Global Intermedia.

B. Factors Affecting Payment.

Advertiser acknowledges and agrees that different funds deposit options – such as Bank Wire, or PayPal – may hold additional costs of transactions which are subjected to change without explicit notice from Global Intermedia; information on additional costs of transactions is always displayed on Global Intermedia’s payment screen. All costs related to payments, depositing funds or refunds shall be borne by the Advertiser.

In the event that Advertiser’s site or Landing Site becomes unavailable for any reason (e.g., server hosting the provided URL is down or unavailable, timed out, or shows to be active but with internal server errors, 404 errors and other types of common or uncommon errors associated with the internet, Advertiser’s website, Landing Site, the Advertiser’s network, and/or its underlying infrastructure), Advertiser will not hold Global Intermedia or its partner sites responsible for these errors.

Additional Definitions. As used herein, the following capitalized terms shall have the meanings provided as follows:

“Advertiser’s Campaign” means a type of operation by which Advertiser bids on available within Global Intermedia domain or other-source traffic. Campaign has its settings such as name, daily and total budget, geo-targeting, bid maximum price and destination URL which points a webpage, assumed to be owned/managed by Advertiser.

“Proxy bidding” is a Global Intermedia auction mechanism allowing Advertisers to offer their maximum bid on a given traffic without revealing its maximum value to opponent bidder(s) (other Advertiser). Thanks to Proxy bidding, Advertiser pays only outbid price for desired traffic, not stated directly maximum (until another Advertiser outbids his maximum bid).

“Clicks” means a click by an End User. “Clicks” do not include clicks which are invalid as determined by Global Intermedia’s internal tracking system and traffic quality scoring process or for which Global Intermedia does not recognize revenue from its advertiser partners. Invalid Clicks may include clicks (i) generated by automated crawlers, robots or click generating scripts providing traffic which has no intent to sign-up, purchase or otherwise act upon a product or service offering; (ii) multiple clicks on the same advertisement within a brief period of time, or (iii) that an advertiser receives and rejects for a valid business purpose (e.g., a Click which was not generated by an End User).

“Domain Owner Website” means any website associated with a domain name owned by a Domain Owner which participates in the services or features of Global Intermedia.

“End User” means a bona fide living human Internet user. An “End User” excludes any person or any mechanical, artificial or fraudulent means (such as a so-called robot, spider, software or scraper) lacking an intention to purchase, sign up or otherwise act upon a product or service of the marketer contained on a Landing Page or Search Results Page.

“Landing Page” means an html page or a framed html page hosted by or on behalf of GLOBAL INTERMEDIA displaying search links, search results and/or other content from GLOBAL INTERMEDIA servers or such servers as GLOBAL INTERMEDIA uses.

“Net Revenue” means Revenue adjusted for any bad debt, net credits or returns from previous payment periods, less any amount GLOBAL INTERMEDIA determines, in its sole discretion, was the result of improper use of Domain Owner Websites and as such revenue is otherwise calculated or adjusted by GLOBAL INTERMEDIA to take into account (i) any exclusions set forth in these Terms of Service, (ii) the results of GLOBAL INTERMEDIA’s traffic quality scoring process and (iii) any other adjustments made by GLOBAL INTERMEDIA in its sole discretion. GLOBAL INTERMEDIA may exclude from Net Revenue monies from traffic that originates from countries where traffic is, in the sole discretion of GLOBAL INTERMEDIA, suspect or difficult to track in the normal course of business or is determined to be invalid on a consistent and regular basis by GLOBAL INTERMEDIA or its Advertiser.

“Revenue” means estimated gross revenue to be received by GLOBAL INTERMEDIA for a particular calendar month as a direct result of Clicks on an advertisement or other promotional link attributable to traffic from Landing Pages or Search Results Pages hosted on a Domain Owner Website pursuant to Global Intermedia as reported by GLOBAL INTERMEDIA’s Advertiser as of the end of such calendar month.

“Search Results Page” means an html page hosted by or on behalf of GLOBAL INTERMEDIA displaying search results pulled from GLOBAL INTERMEDIA servers (or such other servers as GLOBAL INTERMEDIA elects to use), which has resulted from a typed in search or a keyword click from and only from a Landing Page. Search Results Pages accessed by End Users through Global Intermedia shall be solely through GLOBAL INTERMEDIA’s servers (or such other servers as GLOBAL INTERMEDIA in its sole discretion may use, hosted on GLOBAL INTERMEDIA’s servers or domains, meaning that GLOBAL INTERMEDIA shall host or on its behalf provide for hosting of all Search Results Pages in response to valid queries entered by End Users).
