This Agreement, along with the accompanying and subsequent invoices (each, an "Invoice") shall define the parties' obligations and liabilities with respect to Lead Me Media's delivery or display of advertising campaigns and promotions on Advertiser's behalf (each, a "Campaign" and collectively, the "Campaigns"). This Agreement is a material part of each and every Invoice generated by Lead Me Media. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and any Invoice, the terms of this Agreement shall control.
Creative Materials: Advertiser shall provide all creative and substantive materials required for marketing the Campaigns, including but not limited to: html emails, text emails, "Subject" lines, "From" lines, and any other components required by applicable law ("Creative"). To the extent Lead Me Media provides assistance in the development of Creative, such assistance shall be limited to creative assistance. Advertiser is solely responsible and liable for the Campaigns, any and all material to which consumers can link through the Campaigns, and any and all Creative utilized for marketing the Campaigns, even if Lead Me Media developed or assisted in the development of a Campaign or Creative. In the event Lead Me Media develops, or assists in the development of a Campaign or Creative ("Custom Creative"), Advertiser may only use the Custom Creative for incorporation into Lead Me Media's mailing services. Advertiser may not use the Custom Creative for any other purpose, including but not limited to placement with any other mailer, publisher or affiliate network, without prior written authorization from Lead Me Media. Advertiser agrees that Lead Me Media may make changes or alterations to the Creative or use any part of the html, images or URLs to deliver and/or generate traffic for the Advertiser. Additionally, Advertiser agrees that Lead Me Media may add special characters and/or emoticons to the Creative and Custom Creative. Advertiser agrees to confirm the correct function of all Creative supplied to Lead Me Media. If no confirmation is received, Lead Me Media will assume that the Creative is functioning properly and Advertiser agrees to pay for all. Advertiser hereby grants to Lead Me Media and its email service providers a nonexclusive, limited, worldwide, royalty-free, revocable license to market, display, perform, copy, transmit, distribute, and promote the Campaign(s) and related Creative in connection with its obligations hereunder.
Delivery of Campaigns: Delivery of Campaigns: Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lead Me Media expressly reserves the right to, (i) refuse any advertising request, cancel any Campaign, and/or change any Campaign or Creative that does not completely conform to every material detail, instruction, method, and guideline set forth by Lead Me Media; (ii) refuse any Creative that does not arrive three (3) business days prior to the broadcast date; (iii) refuse or cancel the use of any Campaign or Creative that it deems, in its reasonable discretion, inappropriate or unlawful; and/or (iv) refuse at any time to publish or transmit any copy, photograph or illustration of any kind for any reason, including those that it believes, in its reasonable discretion, are an invasion of privacy, degrading, libelous, unlawful, profane, obscene, pornographic, tend to ridicule or embarrass, are in bad taste, or which in its reasonable discretion infringe upon any patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright or other intellectual or proprietary right of any third party. Once approved by Advertiser, Lead Me Media is not responsible for the coding or display (including the failure to display) of any Creative. Lead Me Media is not responsible for a broadcast going out later than the Advertiser's desired broadcast date or time if Advertiser has not provided all necessary materials and approvals at least three (3) business days in advance. Advertiser understands and agrees that Lead Me Media will drive traffic to the desired websites and/or landing pages using owned, licensed and/or third party data. Lead Me Media reserves the right to enhance traffic for the Advertiser using any form of digital traffic available in-house or with third parties at any time. Client acknowledges that Lead Me Media has the right to promote any specific URLs or links and any other part of the digital elements sent to us from the client, where we feel the advertiser can benefit most from the services being provided. Lead Me Media reserves the right to stop or reject traffic at any time to protect advertisers and clients from bot traffic, out of geo target traffic, too many concurrent connections traffic and or any other traffic resulting from the services being provided. Lead Me Media and our partners will do our best to ensure the correct DMA (Direct Media Accuracy) for all digital campaigns and will use best efforts to record and display the Direct Media Accuracy information on any reports related to the client and or advertiser. Lead Me Media will only use or rent geo specific data based on a specific or multiple zip code, city, county, state, MSA, country or worldwide level.
If a client or advertiser does not sign a Lead Me Media invoice related to a specific campaign but they still approve the campaign to broadcast by email or digital format/stamp/recording in an online system then this also confirms that the client or advertiser agrees to all Lead Me Media terms and the reflecting invoice. Lead Me Media is not responsible for complaints, blocked IP addresses, blocked or blacklisted domains, spam traps, domain or IP reputation, non-deliverables, or any other legal or business issues that might arise from the usage or broadcast of the data, domains, or IPs utilized.
Every broadcast will have an associated Invoice. Advertiser's email approval of the Invoice or Creative for the applicable broadcast constitutes Advertiser's approval and agreement to the terms of the Invoice, regardless of whether the Invoice itself is signed by Advertiser. Advertiser shall pay Lead Me Media within the number of days set forth in the applicable Invoice or, if no number is set forth in the Invoice, within fifteen (15) days after the end of the calendar month in which the broadcast occurred. Only invoices sent directly to Advertiser by Lead Me Media are to be construed as representative of billable amounts. >Any late payments will accrue interest equal to the lesser of one-and-one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the maximum amount allowable under law, compounded monthly. Where payment is made by credit card, Advertiser expressly agrees not to charge back any amounts billed. Any and all transaction or processing fees imposed upon Lead Me Media by a credit card company or Advertiser's bank will be passed through to Advertiser. Lead Me Media shall be entitled to recover all reasonable costs of collection (including agency fees and attorneys' fees) incurred in attempting to collect payment from Advertiser.

This Agreement applies to the parties for as long as Lead Me Media provides advertising services for Advertiser. Either party may terminate this Agreement upon two (2) business days prior written notice to the other party. Termination of this Agreement shall not relieve Advertiser from its obligation to pay any fees that have accrued prior to the date of termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lead Me Media reserves the right to suspend and/or terminate this Agreement immediately in the event that Advertiser violates any term set forth in this Agreement.
For purposes of this Agreement, "Confidential Information" shall include the terms of this Agreement and any proprietary information that is provided by a party to the other party (whether designated as confidential or not), including without limitation: the identities of Lead Me Media's email service providers and consultants, email quality and performance, mailing strategies and methodologies, domain information, targeting information and processes, test results, statistics, reports (including but not limited to any and all reporting related to open rates, click-through rates, CPM performance, targeting processes, and domain performance), and other information that is proprietary in nature. Each party shall only use the other party's Confidential Information in its performance of this Agreement or to enforce its rights under this Agreement. Neither party shall at any time disclose any Confidential Information to any third party in violation of this Agreement, unless and until notice is provided to the Confidential Information disclosing party ("Disclosing Party") in sufficient time to seek injunctive relief or a protective order, and in the event such protection is not obtained or the Disclosing Party waives compliance with this provision, the Confidential Information receiving party ("Receiving Party") agrees that it will disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information that it is legally required to disclose.
The foregoing confidentiality provisions shall not apply where the Receiving Party can demonstrate that the information: (i) was previously known to the Receiving Party at the time of disclosure, free of any obligation to keep it confidential; (ii) became publicly known through no wrongful act of the Receiving Party; (iii) was rightfully received from a third party who was not bound under any confidentiality provisions; or (iv) was independently developed by a party without use of or reliance upon the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information.
