2. Description Of Program
2.1. LoopMe shall with effect from the Effective Date, make available and allow You to access the Program as a publisher to offer and sell Supply Inventory to advertisers who desire to display and serve the Ads on the applications and sites that You own/operate or that are contracted by You for operation and where You have agreed to display Ads for revenue generation, based upon the selling criteria selected by You via the LoopMe UI.
3. Earnings
3.1. The Program allows You to monetize Your Supply Inventory by paying you a CPM price for the viewable Impressions displayed by LoopMe for Buyers. If You are accepted as a publisher in the Program and where Ads are successfully displayed on the Supply Inventory, LoopMe will pay You such amount as reflected in the LoopMe UI which You will have access to and be provided with once you register with LoopMe. For the avoidance of doubt, LoopMe’s reporting will always prevail and Your Supply Inventory must comply with the Policies and all provisions of this Agreement, including section 3.5. Where Your Supply Inventory fails to comply with these provisions, LoopMe will not be liable to pay for any traffic from such Supply Inventory.
3.2. You shall be responsible for raising a valid invoice within five (5) working days of the end of the applicable month of active Ads under Your account and emailing the invoice to finance@loopme.com. All invoices pursuant to the Publisher Order Form and Agreement must be received within 180 days of the end of the applicable month of active Ads under Your account. Failure by You to send such invoice or make such request to LoopMe shall be considered a waiver of Your right to any payment from LoopMe for all Ads displayed by LoopMe for Buyers on Your Supply Inventory in the relevant period, for which no invoice was sent. LoopMe will pay all undisputed Fees as stated on the invoice within 60 days from the receipt of such invoice. If there are any disputed amounts, both Parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve them. In the event that any such dispute is not resolved, LoopMe may, entirely in its own discretion, suspend Your access to the Program indefinitely. No payments will be issued for any amount less than $100 (USD) and any unpaid earnings will rollover and be charged on the next invoice (such amounts shall be noted on the face of the invoice for prior periods).
3.3. The Parties agree that LoopMe’s obligation to pay to You all amounts invoiced in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement shall be subject to LoopMe’s prior receipt of the corresponding funds from the applicable Buyer. LoopMe shall use reasonable endeavours to collect all monies due to LoopMe. For sums not cleared to LoopMe, You agree to hold Buyer solely liable. You understand that Buyer is LoopMe’s disclosed principal and LoopMe, as agent, has no obligations relating to such payments, either joint or several, except as specifically set forth in this section 3.3.
3.4. Subject to invoice approval, LoopMe will pay invoices as noted above. The currency for payment is as agreed between the Parties, noting that payments can be made in US dollars ($USD), Sterling (£GBP) or Euros only. LoopMe shall send payment to you via wire transfer / BACs transfer. Our only liability is to send payment using the bank details provided by You and LoopMe shall have no liability for lost payments as a result of details being incorrectly entered by You. LoopMe shall not be liable for any bank charges attributable to the transfer, and shall be entitled to set off the same against the invoice as raised by You.
3.5. LoopMe reserves the right to suspend your access to the Program, withhold payment at any time, and/or terminate this Agreement and Your access to the Program, without liability to You, if LoopMe, entirely in its own discretion, suspects that any form of Fraudulent Activity, illegal practice or Prohibited Content have occurred and/or featured on Your Supply Inventory. Without limitation to the foregoing, LoopMe may, at its sole discretion, credit back to advertisers and/or offset against future payments to You any payments which it subsequently determines accrued as a result of such Fraudulent Activity, illegal activity or Prohibited Content. LoopMe may at its sole discretion seek liquidated damages not exceeding 50% of the amount payable to you under the Program for any breach of this Section 3.5.
3.6. Taxes: All payments are inclusive of taxes. Excluding any taxes on the income of a party, any taxes, including but not limited to sales, GST, VAT, excise, service tax, or such other transaction taxes, applicable in connection with this Agreement shall be borne and remitted by You to the relevant tax authorities. In case applicable laws require withholding of any amount on account of withholding taxes, LoopMe may withhold such amounts, unless You provide a certificate of exemption from such withholding taxes. Amounts payable to You shall not be grossed up on account of withholding taxes. Further LoopMe and You shall co-operate to enable each party to more accurately determine the respective tax liability and to minimize such liability, to the extent legally permissible.
4. Implementation Of Program
4.1. You will implement the Program in a manner that complies with the Protocol. LoopMe will provide reasonable support and cooperation to You through the implementation process. All LoopMe Materials are the property of LoopMe or LoopMe's authorised licensors and is sub-licensed to You for the performance of the respective obligations of the Parties under this Agreement. It is Your responsibility to ensure that You have appropriate protection for Your computers, software, data and applications including any systems that You use to access the Services or any LoopMe Materials. LoopMe shall have no responsibility, or any liability to You, for any computer viruses, malware, worms, software bombs, bugs or similar items, whether introduced directly or indirectly, that affect Your computers, systems, software, infrastructure or data as a result of Your access to and use of the Program or Services or use of the LoopMe Materials.
5. Obligations Of the Parties
