We may redesign or modify the organization, specifications, structure, and/or appearance of any location where your ads may be displayed. Further, we reserve the right to modify or discontinue offering any Program or part thereof. Your Information, Promotions (if applicable), and ads must comply with our policies and specifications, which we may change from time to time.

Nothing contained in the Agreement will prevent Congoo LLC from complying with applicable privacy laws and regulations, and if there is any conflict between the Agreement and the terms of the applicable Congoo LLC privacy policy ("Privacy Policy") (as posted on or linked from a Congoo LLC Website), the Agreement will control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement or the applicable Privacy Policy, all data and information gathered or received by us in connection with providing the Programs and all information described in the applicable Privacy Policy may be shared with and used by (x) Congoo LLC (and you acknowledge the country of the Congoo LLC Entity receiving the data or information may not afford the same level of protection of such data as the country in which the data or information was collected), and/or (y) certain selected third parties only in anonymous form.

- CHOICE OF LAW; VENUE. The terms of the Agreement and any dispute relating thereto or between you and us will be governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey, without regard to conflict/choice of law principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to the Agreement. You agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Somerset County, New Jersey, or another location designated by us. Any claim against us will be adjudicated on an individual basis and will not be consolidated in any proceeding with any claim or controversy of any other party.
- OTHER. The Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between you and us regarding the subject matter contained herein and supersedes all proposals, representations, claims, and communications in all forms of media (including all instructions, advertisements, messages, and policies), written and oral, regarding the subject matter contained herein. No terms or conditions other than those set forth in these Advertiser Terms and Conditions, any Program Terms or Insertion Order(s) will be binding on us unless expressly agreed to in writing by us. The terms of any specific Program Terms govern only that Program, and not any other Program, except as specifically referenced in such Program Terms. If there is a conflict between the Advertiser Terms and Conditions, any Program Terms, and any Insertion Order, the conflict will be resolved according to the following order of precedence: (1) Program Terms, (2) Advertiser Terms and Conditions, and (3) Insertion Order. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Insertion Order may amend the Advertiser Terms and Conditions and/or the applicable Program Terms only if the amended terms contained in such Insertion Order: (i) apply only to the account(s) listed in the Insertion Order, (ii) apply only to that Insertion Order and not to any other Program or Insertion Order(s), and (iii) specifically identify the provision(s) of the Program Terms or the Advertiser Terms and Conditions they amend. Only a written instrument specifically waiving compliance that is executed by whichever of you or us is entitled to waive such compliance may waive any term(s) and/or condition(s) of the Agreement. No waiver by you or us of a breach of any provision hereof will be deemed a waiver of any other breach of such provision or a waiver of the provision itself. If any provision of the Agreement is held or made invalid or unenforceable for any reason, such invalidity will not affect the remainder of the Agreement, and the invalid or unenforceable provision will be replaced by a valid provision that has a similar economic effect. We will have no liability under the Agreement by reason of any failure or delay in the performance of our obligations on account of strikes, shortages, riots, acts of terrorism, insurrection, fires, flood, storm, explosions, earthquakes, Internet and/or electrical outages, computer viruses, acts of God, war, governmental action, or any cause that is beyond our reasonable control. You and we are independent contractors and nothing in the Agreement will be construed to create, evidence, or imply any agency, employment, partnership, or joint venture between you and us. Except as otherwise set forth in the Agreement, neither you nor we will have any right, power, or authority to create any obligation or responsibility on behalf of the other and the Agreement is not intended to benefit, nor will it be deemed to give rise to any rights in, any third party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you acknowledge and agree that Congoo LLC will be third-party beneficiaries to the Agreement and will be entitled to directly enforce, and rely upon, any provision in the Agreement which confers a benefit on, or rights in favor of, them. You may not assign, sublicense, or transfer the Agreement or any right or duty under the Agreement. Any assignment, transfer, or attempted assignment or transfer in violation of this Section 15 will be void and of no force or effect. We and our subsequent assignees may assign, delegate, sublicense, or otherwise transfer from time to time the Agreement, or the rights or obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, to any person or entity such as to our Affiliate(s). The Programs are proprietary to us and are protected by the applicable state, federal, and international intellectual property laws and we retain all rights, title, and interests in the Programs, together with all derivative works, modifications, enhancements, and upgrades, but excluding your Information. Any rights not expressly granted in the Agreement are reserved by us, and all implied licenses are disclaimed. Headings used in the Agreement are for reference purposes only. As used in the Agreement, the word "including" is a term of enlargement meaning "including without limitation" and does not denote exclusivity, and the words "will," "shall," and "must" are deemed to be equivalent and denote a mandatory obligation or prohibition, as applicable. We may change the Agreement and/or a Privacy Policy at any time by posting such on the applicable Congoo LLC Company Website or by email, and such revised Agreement and/or Privacy Policy will supersede and replace the earlier Agreement and/or Privacy Policy. Any use by you or Authorized Users of any Program after such notice will be deemed to be acceptance by you of the revised Agreement and/or Privacy Policy. Services and obligations to be performed by us hereunder may be performed by other Congoo LLC Companies and/or third-party service providers.
- REPRESENTATIVE. If you are an advertising agency, search engine marketer, reseller, or other entity representing Advertisers ("Representative"), this Section applies, and in such case, "you" and "your" mean Representative, any Affiliates of Representative who execute an Insertion Order, together with Advertisers. "Advertiser" means an entity (including a sole proprietor) which is/will be enrolled in a Program by you. a. Representative represents, warrants, and covenants that: (i) it is the authorized agent of the Advertiser and has the legal authority to enter into the Agreement on behalf of the Advertiser, make all decisions, and take all actions relating to the Advertiser’s accounts, (ii) by Representative executing an Insertion Order or otherwise enrolling an Advertiser in a Program, the Advertiser is also entering into the Agreement, (iii) Representative will not, without our prior written consent: (a) make any representation, guarantee, condition, or warranty concerning any Program or Congoo LLC, including that Representative is an affiliate or partner of a Congoo LLC, (b) make any commitments (e.g., guarantees as to placement of ads) to an Advertiser or potential Advertiser regarding any Program, (c) negotiate any terms or conditions related to the Programs which may affect the rights, protections, and/or obligations of Congoo LLC, and/or that are inconsistent with the Agreement, or (d) engage in any telesales or telemarketing in connection with any Program, and (iv) Representative will perform its duties pursuant to the Agreement in a professional manner consistent with the requirements established by us. Upon our request, Representative will immediately deliver to us each agreement that designates Representative as the Advertiser’s agent and authorizes Representative to act on the Advertiser’s behalf in connection with the Agreement. In the event of a termination of your relationship with an Advertiser, such Advertiser may continue to use the Information, including account and performance history with respect to its ads, and Representative will no longer have access for such Advertiser’s accounts. Representative will not at any time use data or information received in connection with the Agreement to conduct any marketing efforts targeted at our existing advertisers. While the Agreement is effective and for twelve (12) months thereafter, Representative will not, directly or indirectly, refer for employment or solicit our employees, consultants, or agents. b. Payment Liability. Without limiting any other provision of the Agreement, Representative and each Advertiser will be jointly and severally liable for all payment obligations pursuant to Section 2 of these Advertiser Terms and Conditions, and you hereby waive any Law that may require us to proceed against one or more of you prior to proceeding against any others who may also be liable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if we offer you Sequential Liability in a particular country and we approve the applicable Advertiser’s credit application, we will hold Representative liable for payments under Section 2, above, solely to the extent Representative has received payment from such Advertiser; for sums not received by Representative, we will hold the Advertiser solely liable ("Sequential Liability"), and (ii) if Representative (x) breaches or allegedly breaches Section 16a.(i), above, or (y) fails to comply with our request to confirm whether an Advertiser has paid to it in advance funds sufficient to make payments pursuant to Section 2, above, Representative will be obligated to immediately pay all such amounts due us regardless of whether it has received payment from such Advertiser. You acknowledge that we may directly contact any Advertiser represented by Representative, including if we have not received payment for such Advertiser’s account within 60 days from the date of the applicable invoice.
- ELECTRONIC SIGNATURES EFFECTIVE. a. If the Agreement is an electronic contract, then this Section applies in order to set out the legally binding terms of your use of our Programs, including the Congoo LLC Websites. You accept the Agreement and the terms, conditions, and notices contained or referenced herein by clicking on the "I Accept" button in connection with your enrollment. This action creates an electronic signature that has the same legal force and effect as a handwritten signature. When you click on the "I Accept" button during enrollment, you also consent to having the Agreement provided to you in electronic form. b. You have the right to receive the Agreement in non-electronic form and may request a non-electronic copy of the Agreement before or after you electronically sign the Agreement by submitting a request to us as specified below. You also have the right, at any time, to withdraw your consent to have the Agreement provided to you in electronic form. Should you choose to withdraw your consent to have the Agreement provided to you in electronic form, we will discontinue your then-current username and password. This means that you will not have the right to use any Program unless and until we issue you a new username and password. We will only issue you a new username and password after we receive a signed copy of a non-electronic version of the Agreement, which we will send to you upon written request. To withdraw your consent and/or request a non-electronic copy of the Agreement, please send a letter and self-addressed, stamped envelope to the address set forth in Section 12, above. Your withdrawal of consent will be effective within a reasonable time after we receive your withdrawal notice described above. Prior to such effective date, the Agreement electronically signed by and provided to you will remain legally valid and enforceable. c. In order to access and retain the electronic Agreement, you must have access to the Internet, either directly or through devices that access web-based content, and pay any charges associated with such access. In addition, you must use all equipment necessary to make such connection to the Internet (e.g., a computer and modem or other access device). Please print a copy of the Agreement for your records. To retain an electronic copy of the Agreement, you may save it into any word processing program. We will notify you of any changes in the hardware or software requirements needed to access and/or retain the Agreement that create a material risk that you will not be able to continue to access and/or retain the electronic Agreement.
PAYMENT METHOD PROGRAM TERMS – If you participate in the Payment Method Program, the following Program Terms apply.
- BILLING AND PAYMENT METHOD. When you supply us with a method of payment such as a credit card, charge card, or bank account ("Payment Method") in connection with a Program, you participate in the "Payment Method Program" and you authorize us to bill your Payment Method pursuant to these Payment Method Program Terms for any and all charges and fees you incur in connection with that Program, including recurring payments. The types of Payment Methods that we accept and the timing of the billing of the charges and fees may vary according to the Program; however, we do not knowingly accept debit cards and you should not provide a debit card as a form of payment. The terms of your Payment Method are determined by an agreement(s) between you and your financial institution.
- AUTHORIZATION. You agree to keep your Payment Method information on file with us current (such as your address, card or account number, and expiration date, if any), and you also authorize us to update your Payment Method information with data we obtain from your financial institution, the issuer of your credit card or charge card, or from MasterCard or Visa. You authorize us to retain your Payment Method information until such time as you revoke this authorization in accordance with procedures prescribed by us. Any revocation by you of this authorization will become effective: (a) if your Payment Method is a credit or charge card, when all charges and fees associated with your use of the Programs have been fully satisfied, as determined by us; or (b) if your Payment Method is a bank account, after three (3) business days. Your revocation of this authorization will have no effect on your liability for charges and fees that you have incurred in connection with your use of a Program prior to such revocation.
- EFFECTS OF TERMINATION. Sections 2 (third and fourth sentences) and 3 of these Payment Method Program Terms will survive any termination of the Agreement.
PAYMENT PLAN PROGRAM TERMS – If you participate in the Payment Plan Program, the following Program Terms apply.
- PAYMENT METHODS. If you use a Payment Plan, you authorize us to bill your Payment Method for all charges and fees in connection with each Program as specified by the Payment Plan you select ("Payment Plan Program"). Unless and until you or we discontinue your enrollment in a payment plan ("Payment Plan"), your preauthorization for billing your Payment Method is valid until the termination of the Agreement or the discontinuation of the Payment Plan by us or your participation therein. We will send a notification to the e-mail address associated with your Program account(s) after each preauthorized transaction to notify you that your account(s) has been replenished and your charges and fees have been paid. Such payments should appear on the periodic statement sent to you by the provider of your Payment Method. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or terminate your right to prepay, any Payment Plan, and/or your participation therein at any time. If we modify a Payment Plan, notification will be posted on the Congoo LLC Company Website or you will be notified by e-mail. If you do not consent to such modified terms, you may elect to discontinue your enrollment in a Payment Plan at any time by providing written notice to us before the effective date of such modified terms. Your non-termination or continued use of a Program reaffirms that we are authorized to bill your Payment Method automatically and constitutes your acceptance of the terms of any such modified terms. In connection with a Payment Plan, you agree that if your charges equal or exceed your payment, then your ads may be removed from the Distribution Network and you will incur a debit balance for the amount of any unpaid charges incurred under your account(s), including any amounts accrued prior to the time your ads are actually removed. Charges will be posted to your account and must be paid before any of your ads will be made available through the Distribution Network.
- TYPES OF PAYMENT PLANS. "Continuous Traffic Payment Plan": Under the Continuous Traffic Payment Plan, you preauthorize us to periodically bill your Payment Method on a recurring basis for the amount you specify. Your Payment Method will automatically be billed with the preauthorized amount whenever your account has fewer than approximately the prior three (3) days’ worth of charges remaining, as determined by us. The preauthorized amount then will be credited to your account and, after any debit balance that you may have incurred for charges in excess of the amount you have preauthorized is first deducted, the balance will be available to pay for future charges and fees; thus, while the amount charged to your Payment Method will remain the same throughout the term of your participation in the Continuous Traffic Payment Plan, the amount actually available in your account to pay for future charges and fees will vary depending upon the charges and fees you have incurred. "Fixed Budget Payment Plan": Under the Fixed Budget Payment Plan, you determine a monthly amount for charges to your Program account(s) and you preauthorize us to bill your Payment Method each month in the amount specified. Notwithstanding the monthly amount you specify, if you exceed your available balance in any month, you will incur a debit balance; this debit balance will be deducted from the amount next billed to your Payment Method and the remaining balance will be credited to your account to pay for future charges.
- EFFECTS OF TERMINATION. None of the terms and conditions of these Payment Plan Program Terms will survive the termination of these Payment Plan Program Terms or the applicable Program Terms.
DISPLAY ADVERTISING PROGRAM TERMS – If you participate in the Display Advertising Program, the following Program Terms apply.
- PROGRAM USE. We provide you access to the Program for display advertising ("Display Advertising Program") for your use. You will pay for all impressions and/or clicks on your ads that we deliver. "Preemptible Ads" are ads which are displayed on a space-available basis and are not guaranteed to appear in the Distribution Network, and are designated as such in an Insertion Order. Except with respect to Preemptible Ads, the last sentence of Section 6 of the Advertiser Terms and Conditions does not apply to ads distributed under the Display Advertising Program. Except with respect to Preemptible Ads, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver impressions in the amounts and locations by the end of the period specified in an Insertion Order, as applicable.
- PLACEMENT OF ADS. If your Information, including any updates, is not given to us four (4) business days prior to its anticipated distribution or does not conform to our policies and specifications, we may distribute, at our option: (i) back-up ads based on Information you have previously given us or (ii) public service announcements of our choice, and bill you at the rates in the Insertion Order. We may optimize your campaign by modifying the line items of an Insertion Order. We must approve in advance in writing the serving of ads by anyone other than us. For ads in an Insertion Order that specify frequency caps, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with such frequency caps, provided that you agree that we are not liable if your ads are viewed in excess of the frequency cap. For dynamically priced campaigns, we may adjust the location of, and price for, your ads in an effort to meet your target goals (e.g., CPM, CPC, CPA, or CPL).
- MAKE GOODS. Except for Preemptible Ads, if we fail to deliver, by the end of the period specified in an Insertion Order, the aggregate number of impressions as agreed in the Insertion Order (subject to any reductions permitted under Section 2, above) or the impressions are delivered in the wrong location, then (i) for purposes of this Section 3 of the Display Advertising Program Terms only, the first sentence of Section 10 of the Advertiser Terms and Conditions does not apply, and (ii) your sole and exclusive remedy is limited to the following, which we may choose in our discretion: (a) a refund of the charges representing the impressions that were undelivered or delivered to the wrong location, (b) delivery of the impressions at a later time in a comparable position as determined by us, and/or (c) an extension of the term of the Insertion Order with a refund representing any remaining undelivered impressions at the end of such extended term.
- TERMINATION; EFFECTS OF TERMINATION. Notwithstanding Section 11 of the Advertiser Terms and Conditions, you may not cancel an Insertion Order under this Display Advertising Program. If you terminate the Display Advertising Program Terms, all terms and conditions of these Display Advertising Program Terms will survive until such time as all Insertion Orders under this Program have ended. Sections 3 and 4 of these Display Advertising Program Terms will survive termination of these Display Advertising Program Terms.
