a. Purchaser shall pre-pay for its advertising purchase except with approval from Rogers’ credit department or as otherwise set forth in an Order.

b. Rogers reserves the right to change its advertising rates at any time.

c. Purchaser shall notify Rogers in writing of any discrepancies in invoicing within 20 days of receipt of the invoice, failing which Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved the invoice.

d. If Purchaser disputes a portion of an invoice, Purchaser shall remit the undisputed portion of the invoice, and acceptance by Rogers of such portion shall in no way be construed as an admission by Rogers of the validity of Purchaser’s dispute.

e. Rogers reserves the right to impose a late payment charge of 2% per month, calculated and compounded monthly on the delinquent amount (26.8% per year) from the date of first invoice until the date Rogers receives such amount in full.

g. Neither Advertiser nor Agency shall set-off or deduct amounts from payments owing to Rogers as set out in the invoices except with the prior written consent of Rogers.

2.2 Where the financial terms of a Campaign include contra, this subsection 2 shall apply:

b. Each party hereby confirms that the goods and/or services exchanged for advertising constitute a barter transaction for tax purposes and that the value of such barter for tax purposes is based on the amounts set out in the Order(s). For each Campaign, each party hereby agrees to issue an invoice to the other party, which shall set forth the total amount of the applicable taxes payable in connection with the barter transaction and which shall be due and payable on the date of invoice in respect of the Order.  The parties further agree that if, and to the extent that, the amount of taxes charged by the parties does not net zero, the party charging the greater amount of taxes shall collect from the other party the amount of any such difference.

c. Each party shall be responsible for properly accounting and remitting to the applicable taxing authority any and all applicable taxes properly payable in connection with the provision of such party’s respective supplies.

3.2 Rogers may terminate this Agreement or any Order if Rogers, acting reasonably, believes that either Advertiser or Agency is unable to meet its financial obligations as they become due.

4. NO OBLIGATION TO EXHIBIT

4.1 Rogers shall be under no obligation to exploit any Purchaser Material or Campaign, and Rogers (or any third party producer, if applicable) may cancel all or part of any Campaign in its sole discretion. In the event of such cancellation, Purchaser shall not be obligated to pay for the applicable cancelled Campaign or Campaign element(s), unless such cancellation is the direct result of the failure of Purchaser to provide Purchaser Material or approvals to Rogers in a timely manner.  Rogers, acting reasonably, shall determine the value of the applicable cancelled Campaign or Campaign element(s) in question.  Notwithstanding the cancellation of any particular element(s), Rogers may continue to use the Purchaser Material in other Campaign elements (if any) and, in such event, the applicable grant of rights, indemnities, representations and warranties under this Agreement shall survive.

5. DISRUPTION, PRE-EMPTION AND SUBSTITUTION

5.1 Rogers shall not be liable (directly or indirectly) for any damages, losses, costs or expenses suffered by Purchaser as a result of disruption, substitution, cancellation or pre-emption of any Campaign element, including, without limitation, a program or event, or interruption, postponement or inability or omission to publish, display or exhibit any Campaign element by reason of any event reasonably beyond the control of the parties (each, an “Event of Force Majeure”), including, without limitation: (a) technical or mechanical difficulties, public emergency or necessity, legal restriction, strike or labour action, terrorism, dispute with exhibit distributor or program supplier; (b) failure of any third party transmission; (c) laws, regulations, directions, orders or other requirements of any federal, provincial, municipal authority or any applicable regulatory bodies, including, without limitation, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (“CRTC”) (e.g. election laws); (d) required modification to the advertising or other creative materials (as determined in the sole discretion of Rogers) as a result of public interest or compliance with any law, by-law, directive or other restriction on Rogers; (e) pre-emption of any advertising or content in order to exhibit content of public significance or in the public interest; (f) if Rogers is unable to obtain the approval rights of a third party where such third party is reasonably required to provide its approval (e.g. a third party producer or licensor) and/or in the event such third party maintains the right to revoke its approval and elects to revoke any such approval in its sole discretion; or (g) in the case of an Order that is tied directly to Purchaser’s purchase of media assets and/or sponsorship rights relating to the National Hockey League (the “NHL”), a NHL Force Majeure Event. For the purposes of this subsection 1, a “NHL Force Majeure Event” shall include a work stoppage at the NHL, a total cancellation of a NHL season during the term of this Agreement, or the postponement of certain NHL games and/or a NHL season.

5.2 If non-performance under this Agreement is due to any Event of Force Majeure, then (a) explicitly excepting any obligation to pay amounts due hereunder, neither party shall be liable to the other for any damages caused by such non-performance for so long as such Event of Force Majeure exists; (b) the terms of this Agreement shall remain effective; and (c) the terms of this Agreement shall be revised, mutatis mutandis.

5.4 Purchaser acknowledges that, unless otherwise stated in a particular Order, Rogers shall not be required to exhibit Purchaser’s advertising during or with any particular program or other content or display any specific advertising in any particular order or at any specific time or placement. Rogers may receive requests from Purchaser to the foregoing effect; however, adherence by Rogers to any such request cannot be guaranteed. Rogers’ inability or failure to comply with any such request shall not relieve Purchaser of the obligation to pay for the particular Campaign element.  Rogers may, in its sole discretion, reschedule, pre-empt or cancel any program, event or other content that it exhibits or produces without notice to Purchaser.

6. APPROVALS AND CREATIVE

6.1 Materials produced by Rogers under any Order (collectively, the “Rogers Material”) shall be the property of Rogers, subject to Purchaser’s ownership of any materials containing claims, statements, or representations with regard to any identified or product(s) or service(s), (e.g. script, video, audio, copy) and Purchaser’s trade names, trademarks, logos, marks and other business identifiers (collectively, the “Purchaser Material”), as may be supplied by Purchaser to Rogers for use in connection with a particular Order. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the ownership of the Rogers Material remains with Rogers, and Purchaser shall not use the Rogers Material on any other platform, including on Purchaser’s own platforms, except if otherwise expressly permitted by an Order or with the written consent of a Rogers Senior Director or Vice-President.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser may purchase the Rogers Material (if not co-branded with Rogers’ trademarks or other intellectual property) by paying Rogers an additional buy-out fee as mutually agreed.

In each case, Rogers may charge Purchaser for contracted time.

6.12 Where an Order requires the development of in-show product placement or integration for any alcoholic product (an “Alcohol Integration”), Purchaser shall ensure that the Campaign and Alcohol Integration are carried out in compliance with all Applicable Laws in the jurisdictions where the Campaign elements will be exhibited.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, modifications to the originally submitted IO will not be binding unless signed by both parties.

c. Revisions. Revisions to accepted IOs must be made in writing and acknowledged by the other party in writing.

III. AD PLACEMENT AND POSITIONING

1. Compliance with IO. Media Company will comply with the IO, including all Ad placement restrictions, and, except as set forth in Section VII(c) below, will create a reasonably balanced delivery schedule. Media Company will provide, within the scope of the IO, an Ad to the Site specified on the IO when such Site is visited by an Internet user. Any exceptions to this will be approved by the Advertiser or Agency, as applicable, in writing, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
2. Changes to  Site.  Unless  otherwise  specified  in  the  IO,  Media  Company  will  use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Agency at least 10 business days prior notification of any material changes to the Site that would materially change the target audience. Should such a modification occur, upon notice Agency or Advertiser, as applicable, shall have the right to cancel the remainder of the IO without penalty, provided that any such cancellation must  occur  within  the  10-business  day  notice  period.  Should  such  a  modification  occur without notice, Agency and Advertiser shall have the right to cancel the remainder of the IO without penalty upon discovery of the modifications and shall be entitled to a return of applicable funds paid under the IO from the date such modifications were made up to the date of cancellation, provided that any such cancellation must occur within 10 business days of Agency or Advertiser discovering of the modifications.
3. Technical Specifications.

In the event that the parties cannot reach agreement on such changes within five (5) business days from the implementation of such correction, Advertiser or Agency, as applicable, or Media Company may, upon the conclusion of such five (5) business day period, immediately cancel such IO, without penalty.For any page on a Site that primarily consists of user-generated content, the preceding paragraph will not apply. Instead, Media Company will make commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that Ads are not placed adjacent to content that violates the Site’s terms of use. Advertiser’s and Agency’s sole remedy for Media Company’s breach of such obligation will be to submit written complaints to Media Company, which will review such complaints and remove user-generated content that Media Company, in its sole discretion, determines is objectionable or in violation of such Site’s terms of use.

Cancellations received within 10 business days prior to the serving of the first impression of the IO are subject to a 10 day sliding scale of required payment. (For clarity and by way of example, if Advertiser or Agency cancels the IO five (5) business days prior to the serving of the first impression, Advertiser will only be responsible for payment for the first five (5) days of the IO.)

4. Short rates may apply to cancelled buys to the degree stated on the IO.
5. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in VI. CANCELLATION AND TERMINATION or elsewhere in these Terms, the cancellation of an IO will not relieve Agency or Advertiser from its payment obligations  to  Media  Partner  in  situations  where  an  IO  or  any  separate agreement entered into by Media Partner and Agency or Advertiser specifies that Media Partner shall be paid specified amounts for customized solutions associated with a campaign including without limitation, acquisition of content or other products/services from one or more Third Parties, the creation of a microsite, and any special sponsorship opportunity created by Media Partner for the benefit of Agency or Advertiser.
6.

Media Company shall monitor delivery of the Ads, and shall notify Agency either electronically or in writing as soon as possible (and no later than five (5) business days before IO end date unless the length of the campaign is less than five (5) business days) if Media Company believes that an under-delivery is likely. In the case of a probable or actual under-delivery, the parties may arrange for a mutually agreeable form of makegood consistent with these Terms.
2. Guaranteed Deliverables – Makegood Procedure. In the event that actual Deliverables for any campaign fall below guaranteed levels, as set forth in  the IO,  and/or if  there is  an omission of any Ad (placement or creative unit), Advertiser or Agency, as applicable, and Media Company will use good faith efforts to agree upon the conditions of a makegood flight either in the IO or at the time of the shortf If no makegood can be agreed upon, Advertiser or Agency, as applicable, may execute a credit equal to the value of the under-delivered portion of the applicable IO for which it was charged. In the event that Agency or Advertiser has made a cash prepayment to Media Company, specifically for the campaign IO for which under-delivery applies, then if Agency and/or Advertiser has no overdue and outstanding amounts  owing  to  Media  Company  under  any  other  agreement  for  such  Advertiser, Advertiser or Agency, as applicable, may elect to receive a refund for the under-delivery equal to the difference between the applicable pre-payment and the value of the delivered portion of the campaign. In no event shall Media Company provide a makegood or extend any Ad beyond the period set forth in the IO without prior written consent of Advertiser or Agency, as applicable.
3. Unguaranteed, Flat-Fee, and/or Time-Blocked Deliverables. If delivery of a campaign has not been guaranteed by Media Company (by way of example only, if an IO contains CPA Deliverables, CPC Deliverables,  or  has  been  purchased  on  a  flat-fee  or  for  a  certain time-block), the predictability, forecasting, and conversions for such Deliverables may vary and guaranteed delivery, even-delivery, and makegoods are not availabl

For clarity, Advertiser or Agency, as applicable, will not be charged by Media Company for any additional Ads above any level capped in the IO.As stated in Section VII(c), unguaranteed inventory is not subject to bonus inventory.
2. Bonus Impressions Without Third Party Ad Server. Where Advertiser or Agency, as applicable, does not utilize a Third Party Ad Server, Media Company may bonus as many Ad units as Media Company chooses unless otherwise indicated on the IO. Advertiser or Agency, as applicable, will not be charged by Media Company for any additional advertising units above any level capped in the IO.

If the discrepancy cannot be resolved by both parties and Agency has made a good faith effort to facilitate the reconciliation effort, the Advertiser’s or Agency’s Third Party Ad Server measurement will be used with a maximum adjustment of 10%. (NOTE: Discrepancies may be increased with the use of data verification companies; ensure this is understood by all parties upon drafting the IO.)The 10% discrepancy is applicable to each individual line item in the IO. All tags should correspond back to the line items in the IO.
2. Where an Advertiser or Agency, as applicable, is utilizing a Third Party Ad Server and that Third Party Ad Server cannot serve the Ad, the Advertiser or Agency, as applicable, shall have a one-time right to temporarily suspend delivery under the IO for a period of up to 72 hours (the “Ad Suspension  Period”).  Upon  written  notification  by  Advertiser  or  Agency,  as applicable, of a non-functioning Third Party Ad Server, the Media Company has 24 hours to suspend delivery and the Ad Suspension Period shall commence upon such Media Company’s suspension of delivery.Advertiser will not be held liable for payment for any Ad that runs within the Ad Suspension Period until the Media Company is notified that the Third Party Ad Server is able to serve Ads. In the event that the Ad Suspension Period passes and Advertiser or Agency, as applicable, has not provided written notification that Media Company can resume delivery under the IO, Advertiser will pay for the Ads that would have run or are run after the Ad Suspension Period but for the suspension and can elect Media Company to serve Ads until Third Party Ad Server is able to serve Ads. If Advertiser or Agency, as applicable, does not so elect for Media Company to serve the Ads until Third Party Ad Server is able to serve Ads, Media Company may utilize the inventory that would have been otherwise used for Media Company’s own advertisements or advertisements provided by a third party. Upon notification that the Third Party Ad Server is functioning, Media Company will have 72 hours to resume delivery. Any delay in the resumption of delivery beyond such 72 hour period, without reasonable explanation, will result in Media Company owing a makegood to Advertiser or Agency, as applicable.
3. Ad Server Reporting Access. If Media Company has agreed in writing to bill off Third Party Ad Server numbers, the Advertiser or Agency, as applicable, must deliver a login to the Third Party Ad Server within one (1) day after campaign launch so that the Media Company may track their deliver Advertiser or Agency, as applicable, must also set-up automatic daily reports to of delivery to a specified email address at the Media Company to monitor delivery. If Media Company does not receive a working login prior to campaign start or by the second day of the campaign, and attempts to notify the Advertiser or Agency, as applicable, fail to produce a login, the Media Company can slow down, pause, or decide to not go live with the campaign without penalty until a login is provided by the Advertiser or Agency, as applicable, or the Third Party Ad Server. The Advertiser or Agency, as applicable, has the responsibility to provide access to Third Party Ad Server measurements to Media Company in a timely fashion if invoices in connection with the IO are to be based on such measurements. Daily reporting to the Media Company should be automated, with a report sent to an identified Media Company lead, alongside providing the Third Party Ad Server login for manual checking.

• Media Company   will   use   commercially   reasonable   efforts   to   notify   Agency   of non-compliance with Specifications/Policy within 1 business day of its receipt of Advertising Materials, and will notify the Agency of any changes required as a result of Testing, within 2 business days for Standard Banner creative and 3 business days for Rich Media, Rising Stars, and Video.
• For clarity, the protocol for the 3 or 5 business day deadline period is as follows:
  • Day 1: Media Company shall run a “Specifications”* check and notify Agency of any material issues, within 24 hours upon receipt of Advertising Materials.
  • Days 2-3 or 2-5: Upon confirmation that basic specifications are correct, Media Company will begin “Full Implementation”* check of Advertising materials.

• • If Advertising materials are found by Media Company to have implementation issues that originated with the Agency, the Advertising materials will then be considered “not final” and the 2 or 4 business day allowance to launch period will begin again upon re-submission of fully-functional Advertising Mater
  • It is understood that Media Company will make every effort (but without guarantee), to work together with Agency to rectify issues with Advertising Materials within the respective 3 or 5 business day deadline period so that Advertising Materials will start as per IO.

• NOTE: If an Advertiser or Agency is using a Third Party Ad Server or Rich Media, Rising Stars, or Video vendor external to the agency/agency ad server to deliver and track their Online  ad  campaign,  it  is  recommended  that  final,  Advertiser-approved, fully-functional creative of all types be delivered to the external Third Party Ad Serving/vendor company at least 10 business days prior to the start of the campaign as set out in the original campaign Insertion Order (IO), to allow for any additional external ad server/vendor testing and tagging.

RESPONSIBILITY:

If final, Advertiser-approved, fully-functional Advertising Material is not received by the Online Media Company according to the due dates above, the creative will be considered LATE, and the following will apply:

• Although the Advertiser still “owns” the ad impressions, space and time period that the original Online ad was slated to run (i. Online Media Companies cannot re-sell this space while the Advertiser seeks to remedy the late creative), unless the Advertiser or their Agency has supplied a “STAND-IN GIF or JPG AD” (see below), to run in place of the late creative, Media Companies have the right to run a “STAND-IN PSA AD” in place of the late creative.
• The Advertiser and their Agency has effectively “lost” all ad impressions which run (regardless of whether they run as a “STAND-IN GIF or JPG AD” or a “STAND-IN PSA AD”), while the Advertiser’s intended creative remains outstanding.
• The Advertiser and their Agency will be billed for all impressions purchased pursuant to the original Insertion Order, regardless of whether these impressions featured the intended creative, a “STAND-IN GIF or JPG AD” or a “STAND-IN PSA AD”.
• Media Companies do not “owe” Advertisers and their Agency any impressions which run featuring a “STAND-IN GIF or JPG AD” or a “STAND-IN PSA AD”.
• If Additional impressions are required to meet Advertiser/Agency goals, additional space and impressions must be booked and purchased in addition to the original IO (assuming the inventory is available).

DETAILED  OPTIONS  FOR  FILLING  LATE  CREATIVE SPACE/IMPRESSIONS:

If  final, Advertiser-approved, fully-functional Advertising Materials, are not received by the Online Media Company according to the due dates above, the Advertiser and their Agency are still responsible for the media purchased, pursuant to IO, or up to the point where campaign has been cancelled (VI. CANCELLATION AND TERMINATION to be applied).

In order to make sure that the booked ad space is filled while the Advertiser and their Agency attempts to remedy the late creative situation, the Online Media Company may elect to enforce one of the following provisions:

1. “STAND-IN GIF OR JPG AD” Replacement

• A GIF or JPG version of the Advertisers‟ intended creative (or other designated creative meeting the Online Media Company’s technical and content specifications), may be provided by the Advertiser and their Agency to the Online Media Company – either by the Advertising Material deadline date (recommended) –or after –in order to fill any late creative space.

• This GIF or JPG will be considered a “STAND-IN GIF or JPG AD”, and will run until the final, fully-functional intended creative can be delivered.

• Upon  receipt      of      the      final,      Advertiser-approved      and      fully-functional creative/advertising materials, the Online Media Company will replace the “STAND-IN GIF or JPG AD” with the intended creative/Ad Materials within a requisite 3 or 5 business days after receipt. If the intended creative/Ad Materials are delivered prior to the campaign start, the Online Media Company will make every effort, but without guarantee, to replace the “STAND-IN GIF or JPG AD” with the intended creative/Ad Materials in time for the campaign start.

2. “STAND-IN PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT (PSA) AD” Replacement

• An IAB Canada-approved PSA (meeting the Media Company’s technical and content requirements), may be substituted by the Online Media Company if no “STAND-IN GIF or JPG AD” creative is provided by the Advertiser and their Agency before the Ad Material deadline date.

• This PSA will be considered “STAND-IN PSA AD” creative, and will run until final creative/Ad Materials can be put live.

• The Online Media Company will use the “STAND-IN PSA AD” as the approved creative/Advertising Materials in all designated placements as outlined in the IO.
