INSERTION ORDER TERMS AND CONDITIONS

INSERTION ORDER TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Standard Terms and Conditions for PPC Insertion Order

The following terms and conditions (the “Standard Terms”) shall govern the insertion order (“IO”) (collectively the “Agreement”) under which Crunching Data LLC (“Crunching Data”) will provide leads, clicks or specified actions (collectively known as “Leads”) to Client as described in the Campaign Terms through one or more of its websites including without limitation its Crunching Data site (collectively known as the Crunching Data) and/or through Crunching Data's relationships with its job seekers.

1. Display of Client Information; Editorial Control. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, Client hereby grants Crunching Data a non-exclusive right and license to display its brand, logo, job or other advertising information including ad placements and lead presentations (the “Content”), as applicable, on Crunching Data during the Term. Crunching Data may not modify Content other than to fit the format and look and feel of Crunching Data, modify the job title or to display an excerpt (rather than all) of the long description that does not change the language that is excerpted. Except as set forth within the IO, Crunching Data will determine the daily frequency and location of Content through the use of Crunching Data's service by its members. Crunching Data reserves the right to include new locations for existing campaigns as they are introduced in the Crunching Data service and used by Crunching Data's users. Crunching Data reserves the right to reject, suspend or cancel any advertisement which does not comply with Crunching Data's general policy concerning advertising content or technical specifications, as amended from time to time. Crunching Data further reserves the right to reject, suspend or cancel any Content which may subject Crunching Data to criminal or civil sanction or is otherwise, in the opinion of Crunching Data, offensive or objectionable.

2. Ownership, Licensing and Use of Leads. Each party hereby agrees that it will treat the Leads, including but not limited to personally identifiable information provided by individual web users, as Confidential Information as set forth in the Confidentiality Section below. Crunching Data shall retain all right, title and interest in and to the Leads. Client shall be granted a limited, non-transferable license to use the Leads solely for the purpose described in the Campaign Terms. Client shall not use the Leads in any manner not expressly authorized by Crunching Data. Client shall not provide the Leads to any third party unless for the purposes intended by the IO, and only so long as the recipients of such disclosures are bound by a written agreement not to disclose the information in the Leads or use it in any manner other than in furtherance of this Agreement. Client agrees to notify Crunching Data as soon as it learns of any actual or suspected unauthorized use of or access to the data in the Leads and provide reasonable assistance to Crunching Data in the investigation and prosecution of any such unauthorized use or disclosure.

3. Terms of Payment. Crunching Data will earn a monthly performance payment from Client during the Term (the “Monthly Performance Payment”) under the terms listed in the IO. Client has ten (10) business days from date of delivery to return rejected Leads to Crunching Data. Leads can be rejected if Client finds the Leads to be false, duplicative or erroneous. If gross Lead counts are not confirmed, and/or rejected Leads are not returned within the ten (10) business days, Leads delivered will be considered valid and billable based on Crunching Data's internal reporting numbers. The Monthly Performance Payment will be calculated in accordance with the Type indicated in the IO, further described as follows:

“CPC” or “cost-per-click” rate is the dollar rate stated for each Click-Through. A “Click-Through” results when a visitor clicks from any email job alert or career webpage hosted by Crunching Data or on Crunching Data, which links directly to Client’s Content.

“CPA” or “cost-per-acquisition, action, or application” (also known as “CPL” or “cost-per-lead”) refers to the dollar rate stated per unique Lead.

“CPM” refers to cost per one thousand impressions or views displayed to a visitor, for example, where viewers cumulatively click on a particular advertisement 1,000 times.

In the absence of payment terms in the IO, Crunching Data will invoice Client at the end of each calendar month for the Monthly Performance Payment as reported in Crunching Data’s internal reports. If Client fails to object to an invoice within 10 days of receipt, then Client will be deemed to approve such invoice and that invoice will be deemed final and payable.  

Client will pay Crunching Data within 30 days of the end of the calendar month for which it has been invoiced. For example, Crunching Data will send an invoice to Client dated August 31st, for all clicks delivered during the month of August and Client will pay Crunching Data by September 30th for the August 31st invoice.

Late payments for undisputed amounts due bear interest at the rate of 1½% per month, or if less, the highest rate permitted under law. Client agrees to pay all legal fees resulting from any collection proceedings arising from non-payment of amounts due, including but not limited to, reasonable attorney fees. In the event of a late payment of amounts due, all outstanding balances will become immediately due and will be subject to late payment fees as described above, and Crunching Data may suspend further performance without liability or penalty, in its sole discretion.

4. Taxes. All payments required under this Agreement are exclusive of federal, state, local and foreign taxes, duties, tariffs, levies and other similar charges (“Taxes”). When applicable, such Taxes shall appear as separate items on invoices. Payment of such Taxes and other charges (excluding any taxes based upon the billing/collecting party’s net income) shall be the paying party’s sole responsibility. In the event the billing/collecting party is subsequently assessed by any governmental authority for having failed to collect any Taxes from the paying party, the paying party agrees to pay such assessed amounts, excluding any associated interest or penalties, upon the billing/collecting party’s written request. 

5. Confidentiality. Except as otherwise provided herein, Crunching Data and Client each agree that all written information communicated to it by the other, whether before the Effective Date or during the term of this Agreement, and (a) marked as confidential or proprietary; or (b) regarding customers; human resources; financial costs, expenses or operations; inventory, purchasing or merchandising; or plans, strategies or forecasts (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Confidential Information”) shall be used only for the purposes of this Agreement, and that no Confidential Information of the disclosing party shall be disclosed to outside parties by the recipient party, its agents or employees without the prior written consent of the disclosing party. Client agrees to keep completely and unconditionally confidential the names of any institutions, corporations, investors, organizations, individuals, or groups of individuals introduced by Crunching Data or its associates. Client agrees not to divert or attempt to divert Crunching Data's business customers or prospects based on information gained as a result of discussions with Crunching Data.

Each party agrees to take all reasonable precautions to prevent disclosure to outside parties of Confidential Information, including without limitation, the terms of this Agreement, except for information which is (i) not marked as confidential or proprietary or included in the categories identified above, (ii) already known by or available to the receiving party or its parent or subsidiaries at the time of disclosure; (iii) independently generated by either of the parties hereto or its parent or subsidiaries and not derived from the Confidential Information of the disclosing party, (iv) generally known or available to the public, or which may later become generally known or available to the public except where such knowledge or availability is the result of an unauthorized disclosure by one of the parties hereto, (v) disclosed to the receiving party or its parent or subsidiaries by a third party who is lawfully permitted to make such disclosure, (vi) made available by the disclosing party to a third party without a similar restriction; or (vii) required to be disclosed by either party or their parent or subsidiaries by law, regulation, court order or other legal process. This obligation of confidentiality shall cease two (2) years after the return of such Confidential Information to the disclosing party by the receiving party or two (2) years after the termination of this Agreement, whichever is later. The foregoing notwithstanding, Crunching Data will have the right to identify that Client is a customer of Crunching Data and may utilize traffic data for statistical and comparative purposes provided it is not disclosed in any manner which could reasonably identify Client.

6. Term; Termination. The term of this Agreement shall be as set forth in the IO or until terminated upon the mutual written agreement of both Parties. In addition, either party may terminate this Agreement in the event that the other party fails to perform any material covenant or otherwise breaches any material term of this Agreement: (i) immediately upon written notice to the other party if the nonperformance or breach is incapable of cure, or (ii) upon the expiration of thirty (30) days after such notice if the nonperformance or breach is capable of cure and has not been cured. Acceptance of any additional IOs shall be by written agreement of the Parties. Pricing for any renewal period is subject to change by Crunching Data from time to time.

7. Privacy. All parties represent and warrant that they are fully compliant with applicable privacy laws, and all federal and state regulations.

8. Audit. At its own expense but no more than once every twelve months, upon reasonable prior written notice and during dates and times mutually agreed upon by the Parties, either Party may have its independent auditors examine, books and records with respect to all transactions for which Monthly Performance Payments may be due, for the sole and limited purpose of verifying the other Party’s accurate reporting.

9. Client Credit. Crunching Data reserves the right to cancel the Agreement after conducting a credit screening of the Client.

10. Representations. Crunching Data will conduct its web advertising campaigns in accordance with industry standards.

11. Indemnification. Each party, at its own expense, will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other party, its affiliates and their employees, representatives and agents (the “Indemnified Parties”), against any third-party claim, suit, action, or other proceeding brought against the Indemnified Parties based upon, incident to, arising from, or in connection with the breach by the indemnifying party of any of its obligations hereunder. Further, Client agrees to indemnify and hold Crunching Data and Crunching Data's website affiliates harmless against any and all expenses and losses of any kind (including reasonable attorney’s fees and costs) incurred by Crunching Data or its web site affiliates in connection with any claim of any kind arising out of publication of the Content (including, without limitation, any claim of trademark or copyright infringement, libel defamation, breach of confidentiality, false or deceptive advertising or sales practices) and/or any material of Client to which users can link through the Content.

12. DISCLAIMER; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE STATED HEREIN, CRUNCHING DATA’S SERVICES AND LEADS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” AND CRUNCHING DATA DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NONINFRINGEMENT, UNINTERRUPTED SERVICE, AND IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR COURSE OF PERFORMANCE. Crunching Data shall not be liable for any advertisers or content providers whose content appear on Crunching Data, nor the contents of any advertisements, web sites or web page. In the event that Crunching Data fails to display any Content in accordance with the IO (or in the event of any other failure, technical or otherwise), the sole liability of Crunching Data to Client shall be limited to placement of “make-good” advertising during a reasonable time after. In no event shall either party be responsible for any consequential, special, indirect, incidental, lost profits, or other indirect damages arising from the IO. Without limiting the foregoing, neither party shall have any liability for any failure or delay resulting from conditions beyond its control. Except for confidentiality and indemnification obligations, neither party’s liability (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) shall exceed the amount of revenue then due and payable to Crunching Data under the IO or Five Hundred ($500) Dollars, whichever is greater.

13. Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise expressly specified herein, the rights and remedies granted to each party under this Agreement are cumulative and in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights or remedies that such party may possess at law or in equity.
