2. Broadsign Access

For the avoidance of doubt, the Services do not include any transfer of software or tangible property.
- 2.2 Integration. The Parties agree to dedicate the resources and technology necessary to integrate the Services with the Seller Platform according to specifications provided by Broadsign. In the event that the integration requires either Party to access the other's application programming interfaces ("APIs"), each Party grants the other Party a limited right to access the other Party's APIs for the sole purpose of integrating the Services with the Seller Platform and to use the other Party's APIs in accordance with related documentation.
2.3 Broadsign Obligations. Broadsign shall support the sale of Ad Opportunities on Seller Inventory via (i) Non-Guaranteed Transactions including Open Auction transactions and Private Marketplace Deal transactions and (ii) Programmatic Guaranteed Transactions via Programmatic Guaranteed Deals.
The SSP Advertising Services Fee for Ad Opportunities transacting via Non-Guaranteed Transactions and Programmatic Guaranteed Transactions shall be determined by applying the applicable SSP Advertising Services Fee Percentage set forth in the Order Form, to applicable transacted Ad Opportunities.
Broadsign may suspend availability of Seller's Ad Opportunities at any time in its sole discretion and has no obligation to transmit any Ad Opportunities to any Buyer or any Ads to Seller.
Broadsign does not guarantee the sale of any Seller Inventory or that any revenue will be generated through the Services.
2.4 Seller Obligations. Except in connection with Programmatic Guaranteed Deals where guarantees have been given by the Seller, Seller makes no inventory or volume guarantees to Broadsign or Buyers.
Seller may work with other parties that provide services similar to Broadsign, provided that if a given Ad Opportunity meets Seller Parameters, and is purchased for display of an Approved Ad, Seller must display the Approved Ad in accordance with the Ad Opportunity Data.
In the event Seller implements any demand mediation technologies, such as so-called header bidders or similar solutions, Seller guarantees Broadsign and its Buyers will have equal and fair auction treatment with respect to all other competing SSP partners.
Seller has no obligation to fulfill Ad Opportunities that do not meet Seller Parameters, or display Ads other than Approved Ads.
Seller may reduce the Inventory made available to Broadsign, or cease making Inventory available to Broadsign, at any time in its sole discretion.
- 2.5 Measurement and Reporting.
- 2.5.1 Broadsign Reporting. Amounts due under this Agreement will solely be based on Broadsign billing reports ("Billing Reports"). Billing Reports shall be delivered or made available on a monthly basis. Reporting displayed in Broadsign's Platforms is preliminary, shall not be deemed final and shall not control.
- 2.5.2 Proof of Play. Seller shall provide proof of play for each transacted Ad Opportunity in a manner and format specified by Broadsign, confirming that the Ad was displayed on the specified Inventory. Such proof of play shall be provided in a timely manner as reasonably requested by Broadsign or Buyers.
- 2.5.3 Good Faith Discussions of Discrepancies. If Seller Platform records a quantity of Impressions in a given month that varies from the Billing Reports by more than 10%, the Parties will work together in good faith to resolve such discrepancy. No adjustments will be made in favor of a Party if the discrepancy resulted from such Party's breach of this Agreement.
- 2.6 Verification of Seller Data. Broadsign may, at its sole discretion and cost, verify the accuracy of Seller's Display and audience data. Broadsign shall be entitled to supply information within its possession as part of any such verification.
- 2.7 Header Bidder. Broadsign offers an optional header bidder solution that enables sellers to connect their inventory to third-party SSPs (the "Header Bidder"). The Header Bidder is offered in two versions: Header Bidder Standard and Header Bidder Pro. Header Bidder Pro includes additional functionality and features beyond the standard offering, and applicable fees are as set forth in the Order Form. The scope of such functionality and features may vary and will be determined by Broadsign at its discretion. Broadsign will configure and activate the Header Bidder on Seller's behalf. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (i) Broadsign shall not be responsible for any delivery or discrepancy issues resulting from Seller's use of the Header Bidder; and (ii) Seller shall be solely responsible for ensuring that its use of the Header Bidder complies with any applicable third-party licensing terms and conditions. The Header Bidder is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranty or indemnity of any kind. Broadsign shall have no liability arising from Seller's use of the Header Bidder, except where such exclusion is not enforceable under applicable law, in which case Broadsign's maximum liability shall not exceed one hundred U.S. dollars (USD$100.00). Without limiting the foregoing, Broadsign and its Affiliates and licensors do not represent or warrant that: (i) the Header Bidder will meet Seller's requirements, or (ii) the Header Bidder will operate uninterrupted, timely, securely or without error. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Limitation of Liability or Indemnification sections of this Agreement, Seller shall remain fully liable to Broadsign and its Affiliates and licensors for any damages arising out of Seller's use of the Header Bidder.
- 2.8 Platform Infrastructure. The Services may be delivered through one or more Platforms. By using the Services, Seller authorizes Broadsign to make Seller Inventory available through any Platform. If Seller's transactions are processed through multiple Platforms, Billing Reports will be provided separately for each Platform unless otherwise agreed.
- 2.9 Platform Transition. Broadsign may, upon sixty (60) days' prior written notice to Seller, transition Seller's use of the Services from one Platform to another, discontinue Seller's access to one or more Platforms, or require Seller to use a single Platform for all transactions. In connection with any such transition: (i) Broadsign shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize disruption to Seller's operations; and (ii) Broadsign shall provide reasonable technical support to facilitate the transition. Seller agrees to cooperate in good faith with any such transition, including completing any required technical integration updates within a reasonable timeframe. Seller's continued use of the Services following any such transition shall constitute Seller's acceptance of the transitioned Platform and the applicable terms. If Seller does not wish to continue using the Services following a transition, Seller may terminate this Agreement effective upon the transition date by providing written notice to Broadsign within fifteen (15) days of receiving Broadsign's transition notice, or otherwise in accordance with Section 14. For the avoidance of doubt, Broadsign may, at its discretion, discontinue any Platform and require all Sellers to use a single Platform.
3. Seller Controls and Protections
- 3.1 Seller Parameters. Seller shall have the ability to set a Floor Price and either First Price Auction, Second Price Auction, or Fixed Price Auction rules, as applicable, for Inventory made available through the Services. Seller shall have the ability to approve or reject specific Ads transmitted via the Services. Floor Prices, auction rules, and Ad approvals or rejections (each, a "Seller Parameter") will apply to all Ad Opportunities transmitted to Seller in accordance with Seller's configurations.
- 3.2 Protection of Ad Opportunity Data. Broadsign shall use Ad Opportunity Data solely to provide and improve the Services or develop new offerings with the potential to generate revenue for Seller. Broadsign will not allow Ad Opportunity Data to be viewed, used by or shared with other sellers using the Services.
4. Advertising Materials and Delivery
Seller will not edit or modify any Ads or Advertising Materials in any way without Broadsign's prior approval; provided, however, that Seller may, without Broadsign's approval, resize an Ad to accommodate scaling to a particular Display as long as such resizing does not modify the original aspect ratio of the content in the Ad and does not stretch or shrink the Ad by more than a factor of two. Subject to the foregoing, Seller shall faithfully render and properly display all Ads delivered via the Services. Seller will only display one Ad at one time on each Display face.
5. Privacy Obligations
- 5.1 Data Processing Agreement. To the extent Seller shares or permits Broadsign to collect any personal data or personal information (as defined under applicable privacy laws) in connection with the Services, the Parties' data processing obligations shall be governed by Broadsign's Data Processing Agreement ("DPA"), available at https://broadsign.com/policies/data-processing-addendum/ which is incorporated into this Agreement by reference. In the event of any conflict between the DPA and other provisions of this Agreement with respect to the processing of personal data, the DPA shall control. Seller agrees to comply with all obligations set forth in the DPA applicable to Seller's role (whether as a controller, processor, or other defined role under applicable law).
- 5.2 Seller Privacy Obligations. Seller will adhere to all applicable laws, regulations, and industry self-regulatory principles, guidelines and standards, including the applicable United States Digital Advertising Alliance Self-Regulatory Principles published at www.aboutads.info ("DAA Self-Regulatory Principles") and, as applicable, with the equivalent self-regulatory frameworks established in other countries and/or regions. Seller shall maintain an up-to-date privacy policy on its company website. When required by applicable law, in the event that Broadsign receives a deletion or opt-out request from a data subject whose personal information is included in any data that may be shared from time to time with Seller (typically mobile advertising identifiers (“MAIDs”)), Broadsign will transmit such deletion or opt-out request and Seller will promptly comply with every such deletion or opt-out request. Seller represents and warrants that to the extent that Seller provides any information regarding devices or users to Broadsign, or permits Broadsign to collect such information, it is shared, passed or provided to Broadsign in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations and with all necessary rights, consents, and permissions.
6. Mis-Rendered Ad Opportunities and Systematic Rendering Issues
- 6.1 Mis-Rendered Ad Opportunities. If, for any reason, an Ad Opportunity is sold on Seller Inventory that was materially misrepresented in any way (e.g., the Ad Opportunity misrepresented the location or other specifications of the Display, contained an incorrect or inflated impression multiplier, contained non-supported ad formats, etc.) or fails to faithfully render (e.g., the Ad was impermissibly modified by the Seller to be different from the original Ad, the Display was inactive or impaired, etc.) (each, a "Mis-Rendered Ad Opportunity"), the Mis-Rendered Ad Opportunity may be remedied, at Buyers or Broadsign's discretion, either by: (i) make-goods provided by Seller to the Buyer at least equal in value to the Mis-Rendered Ad Opportunities, or (ii) a credit to the Buyer for the corresponding Clear Price Amount for such Mis-Rendered Ad Opportunities, with such credit being deducted from future Net Seller Revenue to Seller. If either Party discovers Mis-Rendered Ad Opportunities, it shall promptly notify the other Party with relevant data, and both Parties shall work in good faith to resolve the issue.
- 6.2 Systematic Rendering Issues. If Mis-Rendered Ad Opportunities are discovered on three (3) separate occasions in any twelve-month period, Broadsign may deem this a "Systematic Rendering Issue" and provide notice of such to Seller. In the event of a Systematic Rendering Issue, (i) Broadsign may immediately suspend Seller's Ad Opportunities until such issues are remedied to Broadsign's satisfaction and shall have no duty to remit payment for associated Mis-Rendered Ad Opportunities; (ii) Seller shall promptly reimburse Broadsign for all amounts paid to Seller that were associated with Mis-Rendered Ad Opportunities within thirty (30) days of notice, except for amounts disputed in good faith; (iii) Seller shall promptly provide Broadsign with log-level records of all transacted Ad Opportunities during the affected period(s) upon request; and (iv) Broadsign may immediately suspend the Services if it deems that Seller's continued use could jeopardize the viability, security, or stability of the Services.
7. Consideration
- 7.1 Fees. In exchange for the Services, Broadsign shall be entitled to the Fees.
- 7.2 Payment Terms. On a monthly basis, Broadsign shall retain the SSP Advertising Services Fees, the Buy-Side Services Fees (if applicable, to be paid to the associated Buy-Side Services Vendor(s)), and the Intermediary Fees (if applicable, to be paid to the associated Intermediary(ies))and remit to Seller the Net Seller Revenue associated with transacted Ad Opportunities on Seller Inventory within thirty (30) days after the end of the month that Broadsign receives payment from Buyer(s) for such transactions. Seller will only hold Broadsign liable for payments to the extent Broadsign has received the corresponding payments from Buyers. Payments to Seller will be made in the Transaction Currency, unless otherwise requested by Seller. Header Bidder Pro Fees, if any, shall be charged to Seller monthly and deducted from the Net Seller Revenue for that month. If the Header Bidder Pro Fees for a given month exceed the Net Seller Revenue for that month, the excess shall be invoiced to Seller for payment to Broadsign. All Broadsign billing and invoice calculations shall be deemed correct unless Seller provides written dispute within thirty (30) days of receiving the applicable Billing Report. Broadsign may hold any payment until the cumulative amount owed to Seller totals at least one hundred dollars ($100). If any payment is due from Seller to Broadsign (e.g., for Header Bidder Pro Fees, refunds for Mis-Rendered Ad Opportunities, etc.), Seller shall pay within thirty (30) days of invoice, plus all reasonable attorneys' fees and collection costs for amounts more than thirty (30) days past due.
- 7.3 Right to Offset. To the extent Seller also uses any other service provided by Broadsign or any of its Affiliates, Broadsign reserves the right to offset any amount owed to Seller under this Agreement by any amount Seller owes to Broadsign or its Affiliates under any other agreement. Seller may not offset any amounts owed to Broadsign.
- 7.4 Designated Payee. Seller may designate a third party ("Designated Payee") to receive payments due under this Agreement by providing written notice to Broadsign at least five (5) business days prior to the effective date of the change. Such notice, which may be provided by email to ar-ssp@broadsign.com, must include the full legal name of the Designated Payee, its email address for remittance notifications, and accurate payment instructions, including any required banking information and applicable currency. Broadsign shall be entitled to rely on such instructions and, for clarity, any payment made to the Designated Payee shall be deemed payment to Seller. Seller remains solely responsible for ensuring the accuracy and completeness of the Designated Payee's details, for promptly notifying Broadsign of any changes, and for any errors, delays, or losses arising from incomplete or incorrect information. Seller further agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Broadsign from any and all losses, claims, damages, or liabilities, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of or related to Broadsign's reliance on payment instructions provided by Seller in accordance with this Section.
- 7.5 Additional Fees. Broadsign will not charge Seller any fees associated with additional functionality or services, beyond the terms contained herein, without prior agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller agrees to the provision of Buy Side Services and the use of Intermediaries but may choose to opt out of any specific instance of Buy Side Services or use of an Intermediary by providing written notice to Broadsign (email shall suffice) for each such instance. SSP Advertising Services Fees are not charged on the portion of the Clear Price Amount corresponding to Buy-Side Services Fees or Intermediary Fees. The presence of Buy-Side Services Fees and/or Intermediary Fees may increase the Clear Price Amount paid by the Buyer for a given Ad Opportunity, but will not change Net Seller Revenue, or increase the SSP Advertising Services Fee, associated with that opportunity.
- 7.6 Pricing Changes. Broadsign shall have the right to change the Fees upon thirty (30) days' prior written notice (email shall suffice). Seller's use of the Services after such notice period will constitute Seller's agreement to pay the new Fees.
- 7.7 Currency Conversion. If Seller elects to receive proceeds from transacted Ad Opportunities in a currency other than the Transaction Currency, a multi-currency settlement fee may be applied to offset Broadsign's costs and administrative efforts related to converting and transferring funds, including banking, payment processing, and treasury administration. Such fee will be deducted from Net Seller Revenue, and no foreign exchange, hedging, or advisory service is provided.
- 7.8 Taxation. Each Party shall be responsible for all sales, use, value-added, withholding, excise, and similar taxes, duties, or governmental charges (at the national, state/provincial, or local level) arising from amounts payable under this Agreement, excluding taxes imposed on a Party's net income, which shall remain the sole responsibility of such Party. All fees are exclusive of taxes. To the extent required by applicable law, Broadsign may collect, invoice for, and remit sales or similar taxes on behalf of Seller, and such taxes shall be added to applicable invoices. The Parties acknowledge and agree that all elements provided under this Agreement, including, without limitation, any software, data access, or related tools, are supplied together for a single, indivisible consideration and are incidental and ancillary to the principal supply of advertising services. The Parties further agree that the true object and predominant purpose of this Agreement is the provision of advertising services, and that any software, data access, or other tools provided are solely to facilitate the delivery of such advertising services and do not constitute separate or independent supplies for sales and use tax purposes. The Parties shall report and treat all amounts paid under this Agreement as consideration for a single supply of advertising services, and not as consideration for separate supplies of software, data access, or other services.

- 8.4 API Usage. Except as set forth in this Agreement, Seller may not use, copy, modify or distribute any Broadsign API or associated documentation and specifications. Without limiting the foregoing and without Broadsign's express written consent, Seller shall not use any API in connection with any third party product or service including, but not limited to, any third party SSP, demand-side platform, automated sales tool and/or content delivery network. Seller may only access any Broadsign API through proper credentialing, which will be provided directly by Broadsign. Seller acknowledges that Broadsign may monitor and audit Seller's use of any Broadsign API to ensure compliance with these restrictions. Any breach of this provision by Seller shall be considered a material breach of this Agreement.
