between you and Web-Sourc.net
consists of these Standard Terms and Conditions ("Terms and Conditions"),
the Advertising Program (the "Program") Frequently Asked Questions, which
may be revised periodically, and the terms of any advertising campaign you
submit or modify. "You" or "Advertiser" means any entity identified in an
enrollment form submitted by the same or affiliated persons, and/or any agency
acting on its (or their) behalf, which shall also be bound by the terms of
this Agreement.
These terms and conditions also apply to the advertising program known
as "Web-Source.net Advertising" in certain countries.
-
Uses. You agree that your ads may be placed
on any site owned or operated by Web-Source.net (a "Web-Source.net Web Site")
Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Web-Source.net, any ads may be modified
without your consent to comply with any policy of Web-Source.net. Web-Source.net reserves the right to, and at its sole discretion may,
at any time review, reject, modify, or remove any ad. No liability of Web-Source.net shall result from any such decision.
-
Parties' Responsibilities. You are solely responsible for the
content of your ads, including URL links. Web-Source.net is not responsible
for anything regarding your Web site(s) including, but not limited to,
maintenance of your Web site(s), order entry, customer service, payment
processing, shipping, cancellations or returns.

Prohibited Uses. Web-Source.net strictly prohibits using the
Web-Source.net Advertising Web Site (i) to generate fraudulent
impressions of or fraudulent clicks on Advertiser's ad(s) or third-party
ad(s), including but not limited to using robots or other automated query
tools and/or computer generated search requests, and/or the fraudulent use

substances, services, products or materials that are illegal in any state
or country where the ad is displayed; (iii) in any way that violates any

the laws of any state or country where the ad is displayed. You may not include
links to any Web site(s) as part of your ad, unless the content found at
such site(s) is relevant to your Target(s). You may not run multiple ads
linking to the same or similar site on the same search results page. Violation
of these policies may result in immediate termination of this Agreement without
notice, and may subject you to state and federal penalties and other legal
consequences.
-
Termination; Cancellation. Web-Source.net may at any time, at
its sole discretion, terminate the Program, terminate this Agreement, or
cancel any ad(s) or your use of any Target. Except as set forth in Section
5 above or unless Web-Source.net has previously canceled or terminated your
use of the Program, Web-Source.net will notify you via email of any such
termination or cancellation, which shall be effective immediately. You may
cancel or delete any ad and/or terminate this Agreement by canceling or deleting
all ads hereunder, with or without cause at any time, via your account by
changing the end dates of such ad(s) to your desired cancellation date or
by deleting the ads you no longer wish to run. A cancelled ad may continue
to run for up to 24 hours before such cancellation takes effect. Upon
cancellation of any ad or termination of this Agreement for any reason, (i)
you shall remain liable for any amount due for clicks already delivered or
for clicks on any ad(s) through the date such cancellation or termination
takes effect, and (ii) Sections 2 and 4 through 15 shall survive termination.

Information of the other party without prior written consent except as provided
herein. "Confidential Information" includes (i) ads, prior to publication,
(ii) submissions or modifications relating to any advertising campaign, (iii)
clickthrough rates or other statistics (except in an aggregated form that
includes no identifiable information about you), and (iv) any other information
designated in writing as "Confidential." It does not include information
that has become publicly known through no breach by a party, or has been
(i) independently developed without access to the other party's Confidential
Information; (ii) rightfully received from a third party; or (iii) required
to be disclosed by law or by a governmental authority.

stated herein and that those limitations are an essential basis of the bargain
between the parties. Without limiting the foregoing and except for payment
obligations, neither party shall have any liability for any failure or delay
resulting from any condition beyond the reasonable control of such party,
including but not limited to governmental action or acts of terrorism, earthquake
or other acts of God, labor conditions, and power failures.

If you dispute any charge made under the Program, you must notify Web-Source.net
in writing within sixty (60) days of any such charge; failure to so notify
Web-Source.net shall result in the waiver by you of any claim relating to
any such disputed charge. Charges shall be calculated solely based on records
maintained by Web-Source.net. No other measurements or statistics of any kind
shall be accepted by Web-Source.net or have any effect under this Agreement.

licensors, licensees, consultants and contractors) ("Indemnified Person(s)")
harmless from and against any and all third party claims, liability, loss,
and expense (including damage awards, settlement amounts, and reasonable
legal fees), brought against any Indemnified Person(s), arising out of, related

that each Partner, as defined herein, has the right to assert and enforce
its rights under this Section directly on its own behalf as a third party
beneficiary.

own purposes all information you provide, including but not limited to Targets,

This constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to
the subject matter hereof. Any modifications to this Agreement must be made
in a writing executed by both parties. The waiver of any breach or default
of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach or
default. If any provision herein is held unenforceable, then such provision
will be modified to reflect the parties' intention, and the remaining provisions
of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. Advertiser may not
resell, assign, or transfer any of its rights hereunder. Any such attempt
may result in termination of this Agreement, without liability to Web-Source.net.
The relationship(s) between Web-Source.net and the "Partners" is not one of
a legal partnership relationship, but is one of independent contractors.
This Agreement shall be construed as if both parties jointly wrote it.
