Master Campaign Agreement

Introduction

• 1.1 This "Master Campaign Agreement" (or "Agreement") is between each Advertiser and Media Partner (each a "Party" and collectively the "Parties") that enters into a performance marketing relationship using the Platform owned and operated by Impact Tech, Inc. ("Impact") and hosted from the URL, www.impact.com. Schedule 1 attached hereto or as amended by written agreement of the Parties and each "EIO" (as defined below) are fully incorporated into the terms of this Agreement. In order to use the Platform Advertiser and Media Partner must scroll down, read, and agree to all the terms and conditions in this Agreement by clicking through on the button marked "Accept" below.
• 1.2 The Agreement is a framework agreement and does not commit either the Media Partner or the Advertiser to any specific terms of performance. Unless the Parties supersede or modify Schedule 1 (General Terms and Conditions), Schedule 1 shall also apply between the Parties. As used herein, Schedule 1 shall refer to the template Schedule 1 attached or (as applicable) its replacement. Each EIO and any modified Schedule 1 must contain commercially reasonable and industry standard terms, and terms that can be accommodated by the functionalities and capabilities of the Platform from time to time.

Impact Radius shall not be a party to the Agreement, Schedule 1 and/or EIOs. The terms of the EIOs are strictly between Media Partner and Advertiser. Each executed Electronic Insertion Order together with the Agreement and Schedule 1 will constitute a separate contract between the Media Partner and the Advertiser.

EIOs become legally enforceable rights and obligations on the Parties upon acceptance. An EIO may only subsequently be varied by mutual agreement of the Parties. If the Parties utilize other forms of insertion orders, Schedule 1 must reflect the Parties ability to do so, and the Parties are responsible for implementing the appropriate settings on the Platform to conform with such agreed upon terms.
• 1.6 Media Partner makes no guarantee or representation that the Services will generate any Action(s). Advertiser makes no guarantee or representation that the Media Partner will be successful in earning any Payouts under any EIO where the terms are contingent upon pay-for-performance.
