Radio and Jingle Production Process and Payment Terms: Killerspots.com, Inc. is dedicated to producing high-quality radio commercials and jingles through a collaborative creative process.

“Agreement” means an IO as it is modified and supplemented by any attachments and/or appendix(ices) and/or any service schedule(s), the provisions of this MSA and all addenda attached hereto (as this MSA and its addenda may be hereafter amended by Company from time to time in the Company’s sole discretion), and the IAB Terms.

In the event of any conflict between the terms set forth in the Insertion Order and the MSA, the terms set forth in the Insertion Order shall control.
If any person signs this Agreement on behalf of a corporate or other aggregate or entity, the person so signing represents and warrants that he/she has full authority to bind such named Client to this Agreement, in which case the terms used to describe the named Client shall refer to such corporate or other entity or aggregate. If, after the acceptance of this Agreement, Company finds that the person so signing does not have the legal authority to bind the named Client, the person signing will be personally responsible for the obligations contained in this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the payment obligations. Company shall not be liable for any loss or damage resulting from reliance on any instruction, notice, document or communication believed by Company to be genuine. If there is any doubt about the authenticity of any instruction, notice, document or communication, Company may (but undertakes no duty to) require additional authentication as the Company desires.
**INSERTION ORDER AND AGREEMENT**
The IO is a contractual part of the Agreement between Killerspots.com, Inc. and the Client signing the IO. If the IO is entered into by an Agency on behalf of an Advertiser, Agency represents and warrants that it has the authority to enter into the IO on behalf of Advertiser, and that Advertiser will be bound by the terms of the IO as if it was the Client set forth in the Agreement. Notwithstanding any other term to the contrary, if Advertiser signs the IO without agency representation, the applicable terms and conditions related to Agency obligations shall apply directly to the Advertiser as the Client set forth in the Agreement.
Once executed, the IO shall authorize Killerspots.com, Inc. as an agent on behalf of Advertiser, to purchase and commit to purchase on Advertiser’s behalf such goods, services, media time and media space from third-party vendors as are required for Killerspots.com, Inc. to perform the services contemplated by this Agreement and Client shall be responsible for payment or other liability related to such goods, services, and media from Third Parties. All quoted unit rates (CPMs, dCPMs, CPCs, CPCVs, etc.) and impression levels listed on the IO are subject to change unless purchase is listed as a guaranteed deliverable in the IO. Site lists provided in a proposal or in the IO are for example only, and are subject to change unless a direct buy with guaranteed inventory is designated in the IO. Killerspots.com, Inc. cannot guarantee uniform distribution across the site list due to outside factors such as market conditions, publisher pricing and inventory, and proprietary behavioral targeting technology.
The IO shall control over any additional document issued by Killerspots.com, Inc., related to the IO Deliverables, regardless of whether or when signed by Killerspots.com, Inc., and such additional document shall serve only as confirmation of the placements above and shall not modify or add to the terms of the IO.
The rates set forth in the IO, as same may be amended or replaced in writing only, are confidential, proprietary information and trade secrets of Killerspots.com, Inc. and must be protected by Client. Client must limit sharing these rates only to those employees and agents of Client that have a need to know, and any third party to whom Client discloses the rates must agree to the confidentiality obligations and restrictions set forth in the IAB Terms. Killerspots.com, Inc.’s recourse if there is an improper disclosure of the rates includes not only the ability to obtain a court order preventing such disclosure but also all other remedies available at law, such as, but not limited to, money damages. Client also agrees to immediately report to Killerspots.com, Inc. any inadvertent disclosure of the rates so that Killerspots.com, Inc. can determine what steps can be taken to reduce damages from such disclosure and further disclosures.
Client shall pay all invoices net thirty (30) days from the date of Client’s receipt of such invoice, or as otherwise stated in a payment schedule set forth on the IO. Client shall pay interest on overdue payments at the rate of 1.5% per month or the highest rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is lower. Killerspots.com, Inc. shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorney’s fees and any costs of collection related to the IO.
Killerspots.com, Inc. cannot guarantee the campaign will launch on the IO’s flight start date if creative is not submitted by the client to Killerspots.com, Inc. at least 5 business days prior to the flight start date listed on the IO.
**CHANGES TO AN INSERTION ORDER**
If Client should request any changes to the Insertion Order before or after Killerspots.com, Inc. begins work under or pursuant thereto, Client agrees that Killerspots.com, Inc. shall submit any changes in costs or fees to Client in writing for approval. Client shall approve such changes in writing (“Change Order”), and Killerspots.com, Inc. shall not commence such changes to the Insertion Order until receipt of such Change Order in writing from Client. Any other services provided to Client by Company outside the scope of the Insertion Order shall be billed to Client at a rate of $100.00 per hour, UNLESS A DIFFERENT RATE IS ESTABLISHED BETWEEN CLIENT AND COMPANY IN WRITING, not including any expenses incident thereto. Killerspots.com, Inc. shall bill Client from time to time for any such services provided, and Client agrees to pay such bills and any costs and expenses as such bills are rendered. Client requests to cancel an Insertion Order must be submitted to Killerspots.com, Inc. two weeks prior to the Start Date of the Insertion Order in writing.
**AD PLACEMENTS AND POSITIONING**
The recommended targeting listed on the IO is for example purposes only. The campaign budget, performance, and creative assets received will determine which placements run. So-called “Geo-Targeting” details are listed in the “Geo” section of the IO, where applicable.
**FOR IO’S THAT INCLUDE SEARCH ENGINE MARKETING (SEM) SERVICES**
Search Engine Marketing (“SEM”) impressions will be served to users after they submit a search query containing specific keywords related to the product or category being advertised. Client will only be charged each time a user clicks the ad. Such amounts shall be billed to Client and will be payable in addition to any other fees described herein. SEM and/or Cost Per Click (“CPC”) prices and clicks are estimates only and are not guaranteed since Killerspots.com, Inc. cannot guarantee that users will search for
decided upon terms, and final costs will ultimately be based upon base costs, bids, budget, inventory availability, and market pricing. The campaign will be adjusted according to the best-performing keywords. CPC will fluctuate contingent upon keyword performance and efforts made by Killerspots.com, Inc. to optimize the campaign. If there are multiple campaigns set up within the SEM account, clicks not able to be served within a specific campaign will be made good within other campaigns, billed at that campaign’s rate. Due to the nature of certain SEM campaigns, Killerspots.com, Inc.’s credit card may be tied to the account of Client or Advertiser during the campaign; therefore, any fees incurred above the total listed on the IO that are outside of Killerspots.com, Inc.’s control will be invoiced and such amounts are payable by Client upon receipt.
**INVOICING**
All Killerspots.com, Inc. and other fees and media costs will be invoiced monthly by Killerspots.com, Inc. along with any applicable additional reporting fees or services requested by Client hereunder. If the IO is canceled prior to the completion of the set-up of the campaign, Client must pay the greater of $1,900 or actual unrecovered setup and management fees to compensate Killerspots.com, Inc. for the time and resources spent setting up the canceled campaign in addition to any media costs and other fees incurred prior to the effective date of cancellation.
**GENERAL CAMPAIGN INVENTORY MANAGEMENT**
– Inventory cannot be held or secured until the IO is signed and returned to Killerspots.com, Inc.
– Impressions not able to be served within a specific placement will be made good within other placements, billed at that placement’s rate. The original placement breakout is used as an initial starting point, and Client budget will be shifted from placement to placement and month to month based on delivery and performance. This shifting does not require additional approval as the overall approved budget will not be exceeded.
– For campaigns that intend to target users within a smaller geographic region than a so-called “Designated Market Area” (city, county, zip codes), Killerspots.com, Inc. reserves the right to widen the geographic restrictions to a maximum of the entire Designated Market Area in an effort to increase performance and/or delivery, as determined by Killerspots.com, Inc. in its sole discretion.
– If Client adjusts campaign goals after the initial approval or mid-campaign, Killerspots.com, Inc. reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to adjust targeting and campaign parameters to allow the campaign to run according to updated performance and/or delivery goals.
– Killerspots.com, Inc.’s Third-Party providers presently include, but are not limited to, the following: BlueKai, BrkThru Digital, Clearspring, Comscore, Dataium, DataLogix, Dun & Bradstreet, Exelate, Experian, Forbes, Company, LiveRamp, Lotame, MasterCard, Neustar, Nielsen, Transunion, TruSignal, V12, GoDaddy, GA, Hotjar, DCM, and Weebly. This list of Third Party providers is dynamic and can be modified at any time without notice, in Killerspots.com, Inc.’s sole discretion, and without specification in this MSA.
– All parties will, in good faith, remedy any discrepancies that arise from impression or click counting and will communicate immediately after learning of such discrepancy. If discrepancy is greater than 15%, Killerspots.com, Inc. reserves the right to immediately shut down the campaign until discrepancy issues are resolved.
– The “Units” and “Unit Pricing” listed on any media campaign proposals and the IO are estimates and are for planning purposes only. The budgeted amount for each placement is a performance target. Final impression count and costs will ultimately be based upon base costs, bids, budget, inventory availability, and market pricing. Notwithstanding any other terms incorporated by reference, all billing, pacing, and optimization will be based upon Killerspots.com, Inc.’s reported numbers even if Client utilizes a third-party ad server.
– Client may cancel the IO in accordance with Section V of the IAB Terms. Killerspots.com, Inc. may, subject to any shorter cancellation provisions set forth in this Agreement, cancel all or any portion of the IO by giving 14 days prior notice to Client (in writing only, which may be by email), and if Client has prepaid any media costs under the IO, Killerspots.com, Inc. shall refund any unused portion of such costs to Client. Client is responsible for all costs and/or Killerspots.com, Inc.’s charges incurred and/or accrued through the effective date of termination.

**NO SPAM; LIQUIDATED DAMAGES**
We do not tolerate the transmission of spam. We reserve the right to monitor all traffic to and from our web servers for indications of spamming and maintain a spam abuse complaint center to register allegations of spam abuse. Customers suspected to be using our products and services for the purpose of sending spam may be fully investigated. If we determine there is a problem with spam, we reserve full rights to take such action(s) as we determine to resolve the situation in our sole discretion, for any or no reason.
We define spam as the sending of Unsolicited Commercial Email (UCE), Unsolicited Bulk Email (UBE), or Unsolicited Facsimiles (Fax), which is email or facsimile sent to recipients as an advertisement or otherwise, without first obtaining prior confirmed consent to receive these communications. This can include, but is not limited to, the following: (i) email messages; (ii) newsgroup postings; (iii) windows system messages; (iv) pop-up messages (aka “adware” or “spyware” messages); (v) instant messages (using AOL, MSN, Yahoo, and/or other instant messenger programs); (vi) online chat room advertisements; (vii) guestbook or website forum postings; (viii) facsimile solicitations; and/or (ix) Text/SMS messages. Our server(s) and Services may not be used for spam. To use our Services, you must not only observe all applicable Laws, including, but are not limited to, the Can-Spam Act of 2003 and the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, but you must also observe this no spam policy. Commercial advertising and/or bulk emails and/or faxes may only be sent to recipients who have “opted-in” to receive messages. They must include a legitimate return address and reply-to address, the sender’s physical address, and an opt-out method in the footer of the email or fax. Upon request by us, conclusive proof of opt-in may be required for an email address or fax number.
If we determine that Services are being used in association with spam, we may re-direct, suspend, or cancel any account, website hosting, domain registration, email boxes, or other applicable products or services. In such an event, at our election, we may require you
to respond by email to us stating that you will cease to send spam and/or have spam sent on your behalf and to require a non-refundable reactivation fee to be paid before the site, any email boxes, and/or services are reactivated. We encourage all customers and recipients of email generated from our products and services to report suspected spam. You agree we may immediately terminate any Account we believe, in our sole discretion, is transmitting or otherwise connected with, spam, or other unsolicited bulk email. If actual damages cannot be reasonably calculated, then you agree to pay us liquidated damages of $1.00 for each piece of spam or unsolicited bulk email transmitted from or connected with your Account.
