The term of this Agreement (the “Term”) begins on the Start Date identified above (the “Start Date”) and ends when terminated in accordance with Section 8 below.

 

2. RESET DIGITAL SERVICE.

3. LICENSE TO USE SERVICE.

3.1 Grant. During the Term, and provided that Company has satisfied all payment obligations to Reset Digital hereunder, Reset Digital hereby grants to Company a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable right to use the Service and its features and functionality (collectively, the “Service Materials”) as described in this Agreement and in accordance with any usage requirements specified by or on behalf of Reset Digital from time to time. This Agreement applies to use of the Service and the Service Materials by Company for itself and on behalf of its clients; provided, however, Company acknowledges and agrees that all representations, warranties and covenants made by Reset Digital hereunder are provided exclusively to and for the benefit of Company and do not otherwise extend to, and may not otherwise be relied upon by, Company’s clients.

Aside from the license granted to Company pursuant to Section 3.2 above, Reset Digital does not grant to Company or any of its clients, subsidiaries or affiliates any other right or license, express or implied. Company will not use, rent, lease, sell or in any other way allow others access to or use of the Service or the Service Materials for any purpose whatsoever except in accordance with the rights granted under this Agreement.

4. DATA.

4.1 Publisher and End User Information. Company may, through use of the Service, be provided access to detailed information about publishers and other online sellers of products and services (collectively, “Publishers”), including, but not limited to, their targeting and blocking criteria. Company will only permit Company employees who are directly involved in using the Service to access such information, will only use such information for the purpose of buying inventory through the Service pursuant to this Agreement and will treat such information as Confidential Information of Reset Digital. Company may create targeting profiles or segments based upon the ads Company displays to users and user interaction with such ads, but Company may not create targeting profiles or segments on the basis that a user has visited a particular Publisher, the Reset Digital platform category(ies) that apply to the Publisher, the content on the Publisher’s page or site, or the general interest area(s) covered by the Publisher.

Company acknowledges that other participants in the Reset Digital Platform may have access to information related to Company that is presented in the Reset Digital platform itself as part of the standard functionality of the Reset Digital platform (e.g., buyers have access to information about the inventory they purchase (including the URL and price paid), and sellers have access to information about the advertisers who purchase their inventory).

12.1 Confidentiality. As used in this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means any information relating to or disclosed in the course of this Agreement, which is or should reasonably be understood to be confidential. The terms of this Agreement are the Confidential Information of each party (not to be disclosed by the other without the written consent of the other) and data regarding the performance of the Reset Digital systems is Reset Digital Confidential Information.

In that case, the sending party will attempt to reach the receiving party by phone or other reasonable means.

The prevailing party is entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. The arbitration will be kept confidential except as required by law.
