Customer will be responsible for advising its Desginee and each Authorized User of his or her obligations under this Agreement and all costs related thereto. SiteWit Corporation reserves the right to deny or revoke access to the SiteWit Corporation Services without notice if it reasonably believes Customer, its Designee, or its Authorized Users are in breach of this Agreement. Customer will be responsible for procuring, at Customer’s sole expense, all equipment or other software, if any, required for use of SiteWit Corporation Services.
2.2. Rights and Limitations on Use of SiteWit Corporation Services. The Customer shall comply with SiteWit Corporation’s rules (as may be in effect during the term of this Agreement) appropriate to any network to which SiteWit Corporation provides access. The Customer is not permitted to post any material that is illegal, libelous, tortuous, indecent, or is otherwise inappropriate, or that is likely to directly or indirectly cause harm to SiteWit Corporation. SiteWit Corporation reserves the right to refuse or terminate service at any time that SiteWit Corporation, it its sole discretion, determines there is a violation of this Section.
Customer agrees that Customer, its Designee, and its Authorized Users will not: (a) sell, lease, license or sublicense the SiteWit Corporation Services; (b) modify, change, alter, translate, create derivative works from, reverse engineer, disassemble or decompile the SiteWit Corporation Services; (c) disclose or make available the SiteWit Corporation Services to any third party; (d) copy any part of the SiteWit Corporation Services; (e) engage in spamming, mail-bombing, spoofing or any other illegal or unauthorized use of the SiteWit Corporation Services; (f) knowingly introduce into or transmit through the SiteWit Corporation Services any virus, worm, trap door, back door, timer, clock, counter or other limiting routine, instruction or design; (g) alter any copyright notice, trademarks or other proprietary rights notices affixed to or contained within the SiteWit Corporation Services; or (h) engage in or permit any action involving the SiteWit Corporation Services that is inconsistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
2.3. Availability. SiteWit Corporation shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the SiteWit Corporation Services available on a continuous basis, subject to scheduled downtime for maintenance purposes, or unscheduled maintenance and/or systems outages. The parties acknowledge that the Internet is neither owned nor controlled by any one entity and SiteWit Corporation makes no guarantees that any particular user will be able to access the SiteWit Corporation Services at all times. SiteWit Corporation shall not be liable to Customer for failure of access to the SiteWit Corporation Services.
2.4. SiteWit Corporation’s Licensors. Customer agrees that SiteWit Corporation Services may be provided by third party licensors to SiteWit Corporation. For all SiteWit Corporation Services provided by third party licensors, Customer agrees to abide by any third party licensor terms and conditions which are available upon request and shall be incorporated by reference into this Agreement.
2.5. Changes to SiteWit Corporation Services. Customer acknowledges that SiteWit Corporation may, at its sole discretion, change any third party licensors, or add or delete services from the SiteWit Corporation Services provided it uses reasonable efforts to prevent service interruptions.
2.6. Advertising Networks. SiteWit Corporation Services are intended to support Customer management of pay-per-click or other forms of online advertising. In the course of providing active management services, the SiteWit Corporation Service may interact with third party advertising networks, typically through published application programming interfaces. Customer agrees to allow SiteWit Corporation Service to automatically transmit data to and from such third party advertising networks, or otherwise transmit instructions to any and all advertising accounts that are explicitly associated with SiteWit Corporation Services. As such, Customer warrants all permissions and rights to allow such interactions. Customer also agrees that SiteWit Corporation is not responsible for any liability associated with programmatic communications between the SiteWit Corporation Service and any third party advertising networks on behalf of the Customer. Customer acknowledges that any third party advertising services are provided through outside agreements between you and a designated advertising provider, and not owned or controlled by SiteWit Corporation. All data originating from third party advertising networks is subject to errors or delays in collection and transmission. SiteWit Corporation Service relies on such third party data for analyses and the development of suggested advertising campaign policies, and therefore does not warrant the accuracy or timeliness of the analytic results. Any recommendations or suggestions made by SiteWit Corporation Service are simply opinions based on the best available data from third party advertising networks. Customer assumes all responsibility to verify such opinions directly through their own advertising network accounts before making any advertising decisions.
2.7. Continuing Operations. SiteWit Corporation Services are not designed to provide for ongoing business operations and carry no guaranty of uninterrupted access. Customer bears all responsibility for maintaining adequate backup data and the ability to conduct business, without access to SiteWit Corporation Services, relying solely on direct access to Customer third party advertising network accounts. Furthermore, Customer acknowledges that SiteWit Corporation Service access (and all mediated access to third party advertising networks) may be modified, suspended or terminated at any time for any reason. SiteWit Corporation assumes no liabilities for such service interruptions.
3. Payment for Service Use
3.1. Fees and Taxes. Customer shall be responsible for all sales, use, transfer, privilege, excise and all other taxes and duties relating to this Agreement. Customer shall pay all amounts due under any invoice to SiteWit Corporation in advance via credit card including any application fees or user fees according to SiteWit Corporation’s then applicable fee schedule. Many of the SiteWit Corporation services such as Pay Per Click campaign management and Search Engine Optimization management are monthly services that require periodic payments. Some SiteWit Corporation services are a “pre-buy” service, wherein the Customer elects to buy a set number of months up front together with a discount. Regardless of the type of services that Customer ultimately purchases, Customer authorizes SiteWit Corporation to charge a monthly payment for such services until contract termination. Automatic payment to a Customer credit card or other account may be authorized on a monthly basis, unless terminated by Customer according to the termination provision of 9.3. In the case of failure to pay or a late payment, SiteWit Corporation may without notice suspend access to SiteWit Corporation Services or terminate this Agreement. Any such suspension or termination will not relieve Customer from paying any outstanding fees plus interest and late charges. Customer will be responsible for any costs associated with collecting such fees including attorneys’ fees and court costs.
Some governments around the world have chosen to implement policies - like digital service taxes, or other regulatory measures - that increase the cost of digital advertising. These kinds of costs (for example: airline fuel surcharges, tourist taxes, transaction taxes, and associated implementation costs) are typically passed on, and so from November, we’ll be deducting the taxes from your campaign spend for ads served in the UK (a 2% “DST Fee”), Austria (a 5% “DST Fee”) and Turkey (a 5% “Regulatory Operating Costs”).
These fees will only be applied for Ads served in the specific countries where these fees apply. This means no action is needed to ensure your campaigns continue to run, but you may choose to make adjustments to your budgets for campaigns targeting these countries.
3.2 Recurring Billing - By entering into this agreement with Sitewit Corp, you agree to be charged on a recurring basis. For further details regarding this, please refer to our Recurring Billing Policy.
