ABILITY TO ENTER INTO CONTRACT To be eligible for participation as a Publisher of the PlexMedia, all participants must be at least 18 (eighteen) years of age. They also should be not less than their country's legal age for entering into contracts. All applicants of the PlexMedia state and warrant that all information submitted to the PlexMedia shall be true, updated, accurate and complete.
APPROVED URL Advertisements from the PlexMedia Ad Network may only appear on URLs that are checked and accepted for participation by the PlexMedia.
It is possible for Publishers to have more than one approved URL in their account. The PlexMedia checks and approves each URL on a case-by-case basis.
Publishers are obligated to place the code of the PlexMedia on all appropriate pages within an approved URL.
The term 'approved' used in this provision to describe URLs, does not mean that the PlexMedia checks and approves the site content at any approved URL. The term means that the URL has been accepted for participation in the PlexMedia Ad Network. The Publisher agrees to inform the PlexMedia of any changes in the type of the site content where the approved URL is located. The PlexMedia also reserves the right to check and review anew and re-approve any previously approved URL.
INTEGRITY OF THE PlexMedia AD CODE Publishers have no right to alter, sell or disclose the insertion code of the PlexMedia in any way. In some cases, the PlexMedia can allow minor adjustments to the insertion code in case the Publisher receives the written consent of the PlexMedia. The consent should be received in advance of the alteration in question. The PlexMedia can send its consent via e-mail.
UNIQUE VISITORS The PlexMedia Ad Network is a CPC (cost-per-click) campaign, where Publishers are paid per unique visitor. A 'unique visitor' is classified as a maximum of one visit from any valid IP address per twenty-four-hour period to each advertiser's website.
ORIGINATION OF PlexMedia ADVERTISEMENTS All advertisements of the PlexMedia must originate from the PlexMedia ad server. Publishers should be aware of the fact that any stored or cached images loaded from any other source or location are not classified as an impression or click.
ADVERTISEMENT STATEMENTS Publishers are discouraged to place any notices in proximity to the advertisements of the PlexMedia that can encourage or make users to click on the advertisement URL link. Nevertheless, Publishers can use 'click here to visit our sponsor' or 'to visit our advertiser, click here' notices.
AUTOSPAWNING ACTIVITY ALL PUBLISHERS ARE FORBIDDEN TO ENGAGE IN ANY FORM OF AUTOSPAWNING ACTIVITY UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. If a Publisher wishes to serve advertisements of the PlexMedia on downloadable applications, they are obliged to notify the PlexMedia beforehand. In case a Publisher serves advertisements of the PlexMedia on downloadable applications, those advertisements may only be demonstrated once per user session (when the application is active and enabled). Publishers should remember that serving advertisements when the application is not active is prohibited. Violation of this rule may be the grounds for immediate termination.
PAGE OWNERSHIP The advertisements of the PlexMedia may only appear on web pages that are directly owned, supported or controlled by the Publishers of the PlexMedia Ad Network. Only the legal owner of a URL may submit it for the PlexMedia approval and membership. Only one Publisher account may be opened for a specific URL. Only the URL that was checked and approved by PlexMedia may contain the PlexMedia advertisements. For instance, the PlexMedia advertisements cannot be placed on sites providing its users with free-hosting, community or redirection services. It is not permitted to place the PlexMedia ads on framed-content pages that Publishers provide no-proxy link.
PUBLISHER INVESTIGATION The PlexMedia reserves the right to investigate any Publisher site at any time for failing to keep to the Terms and Conditions. The PlexMedia has the right of performing compliance audits regularly.
FRAUDULENT IMPRESSIONS OR CLICKS Any method used to inflate the volume of impressions or clicks artificially and/or fraudulently is strictly forbidden. The PlexMedia's advertising management system is solely responsible for counting qualifying traffic (i.e. impressions or clicks).
The prohibited methods of creating fraudulent traffic include (but are not limited to) framing an ad-banner's click-through destination, auto-spawning of browsers, blind text links, running 'spiders' against a Publisher's own website, automatic redirecting of all users, pop-up windows or any other way of generating automatic or fraudulent traffic such as click-throughs and/or impressions (as determined by the PlexMedia that bases its methods on industry practices).
The PlexMedia advertisements cannot be placed on pages that reload automatically. The code for PlexMedia advertisements cannot be used on web pages other than those located at approved URLs. The ads in question cannot be distributed or submitted to any newsgroup, e-mail distribution list, chat room, guest books etc. that could lead to the execution of such code without a bona fide visit to approved URLs.
The PlexMedia Publishers are forbidden to make their users to click on a PlexMedia advertisement before entering a Publisher website or any other resource, as well as provide incentives of any nature to make users click on PlexMedia advertisements.
REMOVAL FROM THE PlexMedia Ad NETWORK The PlexMedia reserves the right to suspend and/or terminate any Publisher’s or site’s Ad Network participation without giving any reasons in case the PlexMedia reveals any violation of the Terms and Conditions.
Publishers who fail to keep to the Terms and Conditions of the PlexMedia will be immediately deactivated. The PlexMedia has the right to deactivate Publishers without a prior notification. Nevertheless, the PlexMedia will make every effort to inform the Publisher in question about the end of partnership via e-mail provided by the Publisher. Publishers who violate the Terms and Conditions have no right to receive any credit or payment from the PlexMedia. Publishers that are terminated by the PlexMedia because of violation of the Terms and Conditions will be entitled to receive any payment due from the PlexMedia.
As soon as a Publisher is terminated from the PlexMedia Ad Network, this Publisher is obligated to immediately remove all Ad Network codes from all pages.
PUBLISHER PAYMENTS Publishers should provide their payment address and complete contact information (i.e. telephone number and e-mail address, account number). The PlexMedia may inform the Publishers by a notice placed on its site and/or by sending an e-mail to the address listed in the Publisher profile. The PlexMedia is not responsible for late or misdirected payments of earned revenue in case the Publishers fail to update this information.
As it was stated above, any site of any Publisher that the PlexMedia removes from the Ad Network due to violation of the Terms and Conditions will receive no credit or payment. What is more, the PlexMedia may withhold or cancel any payment due to any Publisher whose resource has dubious and/or problematic click-through rates (CTR), for instance, click-through rates that are outside the normal range of average sites.
TERMINATION Either party of the agreement may terminate cooperation and participation in the PlexMedia Ad Network at any time. This party should provide notification via e-mail address (either provided by the Publisher or located on the PlexMedia website).
