    1. Delivery, Creative Control and Reporting.
    Publisher shall deliver advertising collateral that promotes third-party advertising clients’ (“Advertisers”) products/services (“Advertisements” or “Ads”) to members of the Publisher’s network, affiliate network and/or email database. Ads shall be distributed by Publisher in accordance with any campaign-specific instructions (“Program Terms”) that may be made available.
    EGATE may make available to you Advertisements such as display ads, text ads, links, URLs, logos, ad tags, HTML, “Subject” and “From” lines, email marketing disclosures, graphic ads, video ads, and any copy associated with the Advertiser’s product/service offerings, which you may display on web sites owned or controlled by you, in emails sent by you and in online advertisements. All Advertisements are subject to Advertisers’ review and approval. Publisher shall only promote Advertisements that have been provided or approved by Advertiser. Publisher shall use and distribute Advertisements exactly as provided to or approved for Publisher and shall not alter in any manner such Advertisements. Should Publisher wish to utilize a dvertising materials not provided or approved by Advertiser, Publisher shall obtain the express written permission of EGATE to use such advertising materials created or provided by Publisher or, if approved, its Third-Party Publishers.
    In the event that Publisher distributes Advertisements that have not been provided or approved by Advertiser, without limitation, EGATE reserves the right to terminate this Agreement (including any/all current IOs) without liability to Publisher, refuse/withhold all payments to Publisher without regard to whether or not related to such violation(s) and to pursue any and all other remedies available at law and in equity, without regard for any provision of this Agreement or other written instrument that purports to limit Publisher’s liability or E COMFY’s rights.
    EGATE shall have the right, at its sole discretion, to terminate the delivery of any Advertisement at any time without notice or liability if Publisher or its Third-Party Publishers (if approved) go live with an Advertisement that has not been provided or approved. Publisher shall discontinue use and dissemination of Advertisements within two (2) business days of EGATE’s request.
    EGATE’s tracking shall be the sole and definitive tool used to measure the delivery of Advertisements pursuant to this Agreement. No other measurement or usage statistics (including those of Publisher or an approved third-party server) shall be accepted by EGATE. EGATE will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the tracking methods it uses are in place and functioning at all times, except for scheduled downtime of which it notifies the Publisher at least one (1) business day in advance. EGATE reserves the right to remove fraudulent, deceptive, illegitimate and/or invalid leads, actions, conversion events, impressions and/or click-throughs from final payment calculation (“Invalid Actions”).

    In the event of a reporting error, the Parties agree to make a good faith effort to calculate the actual number of valid leads, actions, conversion events, impressions and/or click-throughs from final payment calculation delivered (“Valid Actions”). However and without limiting terms that may be set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, EGATE’s determination regarding what constitutes a Valid Action and/or an Invalid Action is final, binding and conclusive, and may be determined in its commercially reasonable discretion. EGATE r eserves the right to offset the number of Valid Actions delivered by the number of Invalid Actions delivered under this Agreement, or, in its sole discretion, to refuse/withhold all payments to Publisher without regard to whether or not related to Invalid Actions and to pursue any and all other remedies available at law and in equity, without regard for any provision of this Agreement or other written instrument that purports to limit Publisher’s liability or EGATE’s rights.
    If Publisher or one of the Publisher’s Third-Party Publishers (if approved) violates this Agreement, violates Applicable Laws and/or operates in a fraudulent, deceptive or illegitimate manner, as may be determined in EGATE’s sole discretion, it shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement and entitle EGATE to terminate this Agreement without notice or liability to Publisher.
    EGATE reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to pause or cancel a campaign with the Publisher or the Publisher’s Third-Party Publishers (if approved), and withhold any/all payments without regard to the improper marketing methods. Publisher will pause or cancel any of its campaigns or the campaigns of its Third-Party Publishers (if approved) immediately upon EGATE’s request.
    If Publisher suspects that one of its Third-Party Publishers (if approved) is operating in a fraudulent or illegitimate manner, Publisher will notify EGATE and, upon EGATE’s request, deactivate all EGATE campaigns with that Third-Party Publisher. Publisher shall place, deliver and/or otherwise use campaigns and Advertisements only with the intention of delivering Valid Actions as determined by EGATE and the applicable Advertiser, and for the benefit of the applicable Advertisers, who are express third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement, including without limitation, of the limitations of liability provisions set forth herein.
    2. Payment and Billing.
    EGATE agrees to pay Publisher for all Valid Actions delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Without in any way limiting EGATE’s rights and remedies, including, but not limited to, the withholding of all payments to Publisher without regard to whether or not related to Invalid Actions, Publisher shall not receive payment for any Invalid Actions. Publisher must send invoices to info@egateleads.com. EGATE shall remit payment to Publisher for non-disputed, Valid Actions on each invoice within thirty (30) days of receiving the invoice, unless otherwise specified in the applicable Insertion Order(s).

    3. Fraud.
    EGATE may monitor Publisher’s performance of this Agreement for fraud. Publisher is expressly prohibited from using any persons, means, devices or arrangements to commit fraud, violate any Applicable Law (as defined in Section 5 herein below), or falsify information in connection with the Advertisements or service. Such acts include, but are not limited to, using automated means to increase the number of Valid Actions, using spyware, click-through or conversion rates that are much higher than industry averages or EGATE’s averages; generation of multiple leads from the same IP address; placement of the Advertisements on incentivized websites or using surveys without EGATE’s prior written consent; click programs generating clicks with no indication by website traffic that it can sustain the clicks reported; fraudulent leads, actions, conversion events, impressions and/or click-throughs as determined by EGATE; using proxy servers; causing any referring URL to be suppressed or blank; paying consumers to complete leads, actions, conversion events, impressions and/or click-throughs; generation of traffic in a manner other than as set forth in the applicable campaign; use of any spawning process pop-ups or exit pop-ups; using fake redirects, automated software, or fraud to generate

    Without in any way limiting EGATE’s rights and remedies, including, but not limited to, the right to withhold all payments to Publisher without regard to whether or not related to material breach, and to pursue any and all
    other remedies available at law and in equity, without regard for any provision of this Agreement or other written instrument that purports to limit Publisher’s liability or EGATE’s rights, EGATE may, at its commercially reasonable discretion, withhold payment related to a material breach, suspend Publisher, and investigate Publisher and/or Third-Party Publishers (if approved) until Publisher has provided clear and convincing evidence to EGATE’s satisfaction that Publisher and/or Third-Party Publisher (if approved) has not engaged in fraud.
