Your access and use of the Service is governed by this Terms & Conditions ("Agreement") and any applicable terms and conditions on the AffsWorld website, located at www.AffsWorld.com (the "Site"). AffsWorld reserves the right to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Service, or any features or portions thereof, without prior notice. You agree that AffsWorld will not be liable for any modification, suspension or discontinuance of the Service, or any part thereof.

4. Advertising Campaign

AffsWorld delivers Advertisements on behalf of Advertisers to Consumers in accordance with the criteria established through the Advertiser's Campaigns.

For instance, AffsWorld may require a Campaign name, maximum daily or total amount to spend on such Campaign, start and end date for such Campaign, the type of Campaign, Consumer targeting information and cost-per-click bid information. In creating the Advertisement for the Campaign through the Service, you may submit a title and text for the Advertisement, provide a hyperlink to direct Consumer traffic to or provide a phone number for Consumers to call or send an SMS message. AffsWorld does not control, endorse or adopt any Advertisements. AffsWorld is not to be responsible or liable in any manner for any Advertisements or Campaigns and undertakes no responsibility to update or review any Advertisements or Campaigns.

5. Consumer Data

In connection with certain campaigns, AffsWorld may share personal information it collects from Consumers with Advertisers, including but not limited to Consumers' email address, phone number and a list of the mobile applications on a Consumer's mobile device ("Consumer Data").

(a) AffsWorld may pre-populate certain fields on an Advertiser's mobile web page with Consumer Data. You shall not access, collect, receive or otherwise process any Consumer Data provided by AffsWorld until the Consumer takes an affirmative action to submit such data to the Advertiser.

(b) Applicable Law and Industry Guidelines. You shall collect, use and disclose Consumer Data solely in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local laws, rules, judicial and administrative decisions and industry guidelines (including, without limitation, the Direct Marketing Association Guidelines and the Mobile Marketing Association Guidelines).

You represent and warrant to AffsWorld that: (a) you have the right and authority to publish and display the Advertisements and to grant the rights granted herein; (b) your performance under this Agreement will not violate any agreement or obligation between you and a third party or any applicable law, ordinance or regulation or cause AffsWorld to be in violation of any agreement or obligation between AffsWorld and a third party or any applicable law, ordinance or regulation; (c) your use of Consumer Data will not cause AffsWorld to violate any provision of AffsWorld's Privacy Policy; and (d) the Advertisements provided by you do not now nor will in the future infringe upon or violate any Intellectual Property Right (as defined below) of a third party, including but not limited to any patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret, trade dress, mask work, moral right, right of attribution or integrity or other intellectual property rights (collectively, "Intellectual Property Rights") or non-proprietary right of any third party or violate AffsWorld's User Content Policy. Finally, you warrant that you have not suffered any actual, probable or reasonably suspected breach of any safeguards or of any other actual, probable or reasonably suspected unauthorized access to or acquisition, use, loss, destruction, compromise or disclosure of any information maintained on any of your systems ("Security Breach"), or if any of your systems has suffered one or more Security Breaches, you have fully disclosed each such Security Breach to AffsWorld.

7. Payments

(a) General. You will pay AffsWorld the fees and other compensation set forth in the applicable Campaign(s) established through AffsWorld's Site or through the applicable insertion order(s) executed by you and AffsWorld ("Insertion Order"). All fees and charges listed on the Site, the Insertion Order or this Agreement are in United States Dollars ("USD"). AffsWorld may modify its fee structure including then-current minimum bid levels at any time upon notice to you, which notice shall be communicated either through a posting on the AffsWorld website or via email.

(b) Campaign Limits. Advertisers may set Campaign limits through the Services, including a cap on the amount of money available for a Campaign. Once the capped levels or amounts stated in the Campaign have been reached, AffsWorld will use commercially reasonable efforts to suspend delivery of Advertisements. Advertiser will not be held responsible for applicable incremental Advertisements served over such capped levels or amounts, but only to the extent such charges are associated with overdelivery by no more than 10% of such capped levels or amounts.

(c) Pre-payment. You must maintain a positive cash balance in your Account in order to initiate and maintain a Campaign. Your Account may be funded via Paypal, credit card, check, wire transfer or Automated Clearing House ("ACH"). AffsWorld reserves the right to restrict access of any aforementioned payment method to an Advertiser, or place limits on the use of a particular payment method. The minimum starting balance for an Account is $500 (USD). Charges in connection with the Service will be deducted from your Account balance until the balance is exhausted. If your Account balance is exhausted, your participation, including the continuation of any ongoing Campaign, may be paused or terminated without notice. You may at any time replenish or add to your Account balance in pre-payment blocks of at least $500 (USD). You may check your Account balance at any time via the Site. Campaign charges are generally posted to Accounts within 24 hours following the delivery of an Advertisement.

(d) Auto Funding Service. AffsWorld offers a service that enables you to fund your AffsWorld Account when it reaches a certain minimum balance (the Auto Funding Service) as a convenience to prevent you from running out of funds and to maintain continuity in your advertising Campaigns. To be approved for the Auto Funding Service, you must provide AffsWorld with a signed Auto Funding Service authorization in the form provided by AffsWorld. AffsWorld's Auto Funding Service authorization form is available on the Site and may be returned to AffsWorld via email to [email protected].

(e) Taxes. You are responsible for all applicable taxes, duties or other charges, including sales or use taxes, imposed by any federal, state, or local governmental entity on the Service furnished by AffsWorld under this Agreement, except for taxes based on AffsWorld's net income, gross revenue, or employment obligations. If AffsWorld is obligated by applicable law or regulation to collect and remit any taxes relating to the Service, then AffsWorld may deduct the appropriate amount from your Account.

(f) Campaign Charges. All Campaign charges will be calculated solely based upon AffsWorld's records. No other measurements or statistics of any kind shall be accepted by AffsWorld or have any effect under this Agreement. If you dispute any charge made in connection with a Campaign, you must notify AffsWorld in writing within seven (7) days of any such disputed charge ("Notice"). AffsWorld will review and resolve such disputes in its sole discretion. If you fail to provide Notice, you shall waive any claim relating to the disputed charge.

(g) Pausing or Deleting a Campaign. To avoid future Account charges, you must log on to the Site and follow Account procedures to pause or terminate a Campaign. Until you or AffsWorld has paused or terminated your Campaigns, you will be responsible for all charges incurred in connection with your Campaigns, including charges incurred during the twenty-four hour period following such pause or termination in order for such action to take effect. You will also be responsible for all reasonable expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by AffsWorld in collecting delinquent, withheld or rescinded amounts.

9. Indemnification

(a) Indemnification. You will defend, indemnify and hold harmless AffsWorld, its affiliates, independent contractors, service providers and consultants, and its and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents, from and against any third party claims, suits or actions and any resulting damages, costs, liabilities and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (i) your use of the Site or the Service; (ii) your violation of any terms of this Agreement; or (iii) any alleged or actual infringement, violation, or misappropriation of any Intellectual Property Rights or non-proprietary right, by you, your agents or representatives related to any Advertisement or other content provided by you.

(b) Procedure. You will provide AffsWorld prompt written notice of any such claim and such information and assistance as you may reasonably request to help you defend such claims; provided that you pay or reimburse all of the costs and expenses reasonably incurred by AffsWorld in connection with any assistance requested by you under this Section. You will not have any right to settle any such claim without AffsWorld's written consent, if such settlement arises from or is part of any criminal action, suit or proceeding or contains a stipulation to or admission or acknowledgment of, any liability or wrongdoing (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) on the part of AffsWorld or otherwise requires AffsWorld to take or refrain from taking any material action (such as the payment of fees). AffsWorld will have the right to approve the counsel selected by you for defense of any such claim, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld. AffsWorld may, at its option and expense, participate in, or take control over, the defense of any such claim and, in such event, you will provide such authority, information and assistance related to such proceeding as AffsWorld may reasonably request to protect AffsWorld's interests. You will maintain such insurance policies (including, without limitation, commercial liability insurance, professional liability and technology errors & omissions liability insurance, internet insurance and statutory workers' compensation insurance) as may be sufficient to protect you against all applicable risks. You will provide AffsWorld with certificates of insurance and other supporting materials as AffsWorld may reasonably request to verify your continuing compliance with the preceding sentence.

12. Arbitration

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPH CAREFULLY because IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES WITH AffsWorld AND IT LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF.

You and AffsWorld agree to arbitrate any dispute arising from this Agreement or relating to the Service, except that you and AffsWorld are NOT required to arbitrate any dispute in which either party seeks equitable or other relief for the alleged unlawful use of Intellectual Property Rights or Consumer Data.

The courts of law in Hong Kong Special Administrative Region have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals of an arbitration award and over any suit between the parties not subject to arbitration. Other than class procedures and remedies discussed below, the arbitrator has the authority to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court. Any dispute between the parties will be governed by this Agreement and the laws of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, without giving effect to any conflict of laws principles that may provide for the application of the law of another jurisdiction. WHETHER THE DISPUTE IS HEARD IN ARBITRATION OR IN COURT, YOU AND AffsWorld WILL NOT COMMENCE AGAINST THE OTHER A CLASS ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING.
