Terms & Conditions

 

ALL CLIENTS (HEREINAFTER "Client") ENROLLED IN THE PAID LISTINGS PROGRAM MUST COMPLY COMPLETELY WITH THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT. LIGHTS, CODE, ACTION INC., a WASHINGTON CORPORATION WITH PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS AT 336 36TH ST, BELLINGHAM, WA (HEREINAFTER "TinyMassive") RESERVES THE RIGHT TO TERMINATE THE AGREEMENT AND/OR WITHHOLD PAYMENT FROM ANY HOST THAT VIOLATES ANY OF OUR TERMS AND CONDITIONS.

 

The parties hereto, in consideration of the mutual obligations set forth hereinafter and intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

  1. Purpose. TinyMassive and Client hereby agree to enter into an agreement whereby Client will be enrolled in TinyMassive's Paid Listing Distribution Program whereby Client shall provide TinyMassive with certain Website content which TinyMassive will process using its proprietary content and behavior-based keyword technology. TinyMassive shall provide Client with relevant paid search results ("Search Results") comprised of a list of paid listings ("Paid Listings") for display on Client's Website within a widget. The parties shall share revenue generated from the Paid Listings as set forth in this Agreement.
  2. Program Participation. Participation in the Program is subject to Client's continued compliance with the Program Policies and Details which are set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof, or such other URL as TinyMassive may provide to Client from time to time. Client agrees that TinyMassive may supply Paid Listings via a third party distributor and/or TinyMassive provided advertisements to the Website that Client designates ("Site") as set forth on Exhibit A. Client can choose to use the service on any website as long as the website meets the program policies listed in Exhibit A below. Client must be 18 years or older to participate in this program.
  3. Delivery of Services for Paid Listing Distribution. Client will send a Query initiated by a User on the Site to TinyMassive each time a User initiates a page view ("User Query'). A User Query can be either a search term or the URL on the Site. After receiving a User Query from Client, TinyMassive will deliver to Client Paid Listings. After receiving Paid Listings from TinyMassive in response to a User Query, Client will display all Paid Listings on the Site; provided, however, that if TinyMassive delivers a response that no Paid Listings are being delivered for a User Query, Client and TinyMassive shall have no obligations to each other with respect to such User Query.
  4. Paid Listing Placement. Client agrees to comply with the technical specifications provided by TinyMassive and the Placement Requirements set forth below to ensure proper display of the Paid Listing on the Site. Paid Listings shall be grouped by TinyMassive and displayed with related TinyMassive search queries (where applicable) to end users of the Site as ad units (such groups of Paid Listings and related TinyMassive search queries collectively referred to as "Widgets") in standard formats as offered generally by TinyMassive from time to time.
  5. Logo and Trademark Placement. With respect to any Paid Listing, the provider's logo, service mark or name will appear in the same format as other search engine's logos, service marks or names appear in such listing. For example, if other search engines are listed by logo and the logo provides the User with the ability to click through to the search engine Web site, the Paid Listing will also be identified by logo with associated click-through ability. Client also agrees to place the TinyMassive service mark or the TinyMassive logo, or any subsequent trademark or service mark designated by TinyMassive, within any Paid Listing obtained by TinyMassive and displayed on the Site in the same format used by Client for attributing other search results to other search engines.
  6. Prohibited Uses. Client shall not, and shall not authorize or encourage any third party to: (i) generate fraudulent impressions of or fraudulent clicks on any Paid Listing, including but not limited to repeated manual clicks, the use of robots or other automated query tools and/or computer generated search requests, and/or the fraudulent use of other search engine optimization services and/or software; (ii) edit, modify, filter or change the order of the information contained in any Paid Listing or Paid Listing Unit, or remove, obscure or minimize any Paid Listing or Paid Listing Unit in any way; (iii) frame any Web page accessed by an end user after clicking on any part of a Paid Listing link ("Advertiser Page"); (iv) redirect an end user away from the Advertiser Page, provide a version of the Advertiser Page different from the page an end user would access by going directly to the Advertiser Page or intersperse any content between the Paid Listing and the Advertiser Page; (v) display any Paid Listing on any error page, registration or "thank you" page (e.g. a page that thanks a user after he/she has registered with the applicable Web site), or in any email or on any Web page or any Web site that contains any pornographic, hate-related or violent content ; or (vi) act in any way that violates any Program Policies posted on the TinyMassive Web Site, as may be revised from time to time. Violation of any of the foregoing may result in immediate termination of this Agreement; (vii) disclose information related to the click through rates, CPCs and other statistics.
  7. Client's Obligations. Upon execution of this Agreement Client agrees to:
    1. test the functionality and appearance of, and assist TinyMassive in verifying the functionality and appearance of, the Paid Listings, test the links to the Paid Listings Content and ensure that Users gain timely access to the Paid Listings. However, Client shall not perform any testing or initiate any click throughs in an automated fashion that are not initiated by an end user of the Site.
    2. not use any portion of the Paid Listings for any purpose other than displaying Paid Listings on the Site in the form designated by TinyMassive in response to a particular User Query.
    3. not save any Paid Listings provided by the TinyMassive and agree to initiate a new search through TinyMassive to access the Paid Listings for each User Query.
    4. not intentionally post misleading information with regard to the Paid Listings or directly or indirectly encourage or require users to access the Paid Listings or to otherwise generate click-throughs through any means which could be interpreted as coercive, misleading, malicious or otherwise fraudulent.
    5. display the Paid Listings in the order, manner and format received from TinyMassive and not to alter either the Paid Listings or the any licensed marks appearing in the Paid Listings except as previously agreed to in writing by both parties.
    6. not collect trends or data or information from the Paid Listings without prior consent from TinyMassive.
    7. not disclose proprietary information about TinyMassive and or its Paid Listings Providers, including URLs and parameters used to access Paid Listings. Any affiliates of the Client must access Paid Listings through the Client and not directly through TinyMassive;
    8. make reasonable efforts to stop "bots" or "spiders" from initiating requests for Paid Listings or executing click throughs on Paid Listings. Additionally, if TinyMassive informs Client of the IP addresses of agents, affiliates, networks of computers, or other third parties that appear to be using "bots" or "spiders", Client shall use reasonable efforts to block such IP addresses from accessing the Paid Listings service. Client shall notify Company as soon as practicable in the case where a "bot," "spider," "network," or User cannot be stopped from performing repeated searches or click throughs on the Paid Listings service or results, and shall not object if TinyMassive blocks such IP addresses on its own. A "bot" or "spider" shall be defined as a software program that executes searches or click throughs that were not initiated by unique Users of the Client's website or service. A "network" is any group of computers connected to the Internet.
    9. not utilize any means which would inhibit the User's internet browser from passing the referring URL to TinyMassive's Paid Listing's service.
    10. Take sole responsibility for the Site, including all content and materials, maintenance and operation thereof, the proper implementation of TinyMassive's technical specifications, and adherence to the terms of this Agreement, including compliance with the Program Policies. TinyMassive is not responsible for anything related to the Site and shall not be obligated to provide notice to Client in the event that Paid Listings are not being displayed properly to end users of the Site.
    11. to direct to TinyMassive, and not to any advertiser, any communication regarding any Paid Listing displayed in connection with the Site.
  8. Revenue Share Payments. TinyMassive will make monthly revenue share payments ("Revenue Share Payments") to Client based on a percentage of the "Click Through Revenue" collected by TinyMassive. The "Click Through Revenue" shall be determined solely by TinyMassive or its ad distribution partners based on the average number of daily Valid clickthroughs resulting from the queries originating from the Client, for the applicable calendar month and shall be comprised of revenue received less all applicable commissions (payable by TinyMassive or its Partners) or Costs associated thereto. TinyMassive will not be responsible for any payments to Client until payment has been collected from TinyMassive's advertisers. The monthly Revenue Share Payments shall be calculated as follows:

    Revenue Share Payment to Client = Up to 70 % of Click Through Revenue collected by TinyMassive

    Notwithstanding the foregoing, TinyMassive shall not be liable for any payment based on (a) any fraudulent impressions generated by any person, bot, automated program or similar device or for fraudulent clicks similarly generated on any Paid Listing, as reasonably determined by TinyMassive and or its Partners; (b) Paid Listings delivered to end users whose browsers have JavaScript disabled; (c) Paid Listings benefiting charitable organizations and other placeholder or transparent Paid Listings that TinyMassive may deliver in the event that a Site is improperly configured to comply with TinyMassive technical requirements; (d) TinyMassive or its Partner advertisements for its own products and/or services; or (e) impressions co-mingled with a significant number of fraudulent impressions or fraudulent clicks described in (a) above, or as a result of other breach of this Agreement by Client for any applicable pay period. TinyMassive reserves the right to withhold payment of any Revenue Share Payment in the event of any breach of this Agreement by Client, pending TinyMassive's reasonable investigation of any of the foregoing or any breach of this Agreement by Client, or in the event that an advertiser whose Paid Listing are displayed on the Site defaults on payment for such Paid Listing to TinyMassive.
  9. Referral Program. Clients can refer publishers to TinyMassive's Paid Merchant Listings Program and earn 10% of the referred clients earnings, for the first 12 months, for any referred Publisher accepted into the program. To permit accurate tracking, reporting, and commission fee accrual, TinyMassive will provide Clients with special "tagged" link formats to be used in all links between the Client's Website and TinyMassive's Merchant Listings Program application page.
    1. It is the Clients responsibility to ensure that the "tagged" referral links are integrated properly on their websites.
    2. Clients may promote the program on their websites, as long as the website meets our program policies listed in this agreement.
    3. To protect the integrity of the reputation of TinyMassive brand name, Clients may not promote the "tagged" referral links via certain forms of indiscriminate advertising, commonly referred to as "spamming."
    4. Clients may not promote the "tagged" links via postings to non-commercial newsgroups or cross-postings to multiple newsgroups at once.
    5. Clients may promote the "tagged" referral links and the service via mailings to recipients who are already customers or subscribers to their Website's services, provided that the recipients have the option to remove themselves from future mailings. Further, Clients may promote the "tagged" links via newsgroup postings to newsgroups that specifically welcome commercial messages.
    6. Clients may not refer other websites that they own in full or in part. However, once a client is accepted for TinyMassive's Paid Merchant Listings Program, the client may use the TinyMassive's Paid Merchant Listings Program code on their other sites as long as they meet the other requirements outlined in this document.
    7. Clients may not promote the "tagged" via promotion on third-party search engines.
    8. In all promotions, Clients must clearly represent themselves as entities independent from TinyMassive and TinyMassive's Paid Listings Services.
