Terms used in any IO Document or cover page, but not defined therein, have the meanings given to such terms in these Advertising Terms and Conditions. All definitions apply both to their singular and plural forms, as the context may require. You agree that the Advertising Agreement will commence either on the date (i) we issue you with a written confirmation that your IO has been accepted by us, or (ii) we start displaying your Ad(s) on the Distribution Network or otherwise first provide you with access to one or more Programs (whichever is earlier), and will continue until terminated in accordance with its terms. You agree that the Advertising Agreement is duly formed in Ireland, the country where Yahoo is incorporated.
2. CHARGES, FEES, AND PAYMENT.
For any advertising offering we provide or Program you use, you will pay us all charges and fees you incur based on the metrics and currency set forth on the applicable IO, IO Document, cover page, or in your online account. Our measurements are the definitive measurements under the Advertising Agreement and will be used to calculate your charges. We will not charge you for any clicks or impressions that we determine are fraudulent. We will either submit an invoice to you at the email address on the IO, cover page, or in your online account, or debit the payment method associated with your account. Any portion of a charge not disputed in good faith must be paid in full within thirty (30) days of the invoice date (unless other payment terms are expressly stated in writing on the Advertising Agreement and/or on the invoice) . If we agree to your request to send an invoice to a third party on your behalf, such third party will timely pay the invoice, and if such party does not pay the invoice, you will immediately pay all such amounts. We will determine a credit limit for your spend that we may revoke or revisit at any time. You must submit to us any disputes about charges to your account(s) in writing within thirty (30) days of the invoice date, otherwise you waive such dispute and such charge will be final and not subject to challenge. If you fail to make any payment as set forth herein, (i) we may suspend access to your account and (ii) you will pay all reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees and third-party collection costs, if applicable) incurred by us in collecting such charges. Charges and fees do not include any applicable sales, use, value-added, digital, withholding, excise, or any other taxes, tariffs, or government charges (collectively “Indirect Taxes”), which are payable by you and are in addition to any amounts due us hereunder. We shall provide you with a valid invoice for such Indirect Taxes. All payments of service fees and unused promotional credits are non-refundable and our property. We will close accounts with no activity for more than twenty four (24) months and will assess an account closing fee not to exceed the lesser of EUR €25 (or its equivalent) or the balance in the account. Upon account closing, or for any other reason that we seek to refund money to you, we will attempt to do so by using any contact or bank account information of yours on file. If a balance remains (other than unused promotional credits), we will attempt to refund any portion of such balance that you may be owed. If we are still unable to issue a refund, we will dispose of the balance pursuant to our policies and procedures. All payments shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any and all present and future taxes, levies and withholdings including withholding tax, stamp and documentary taxes, (collectively "Taxes") save as required by law. If you are required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any amount paid or payable hereunder, such amount shall be increased as necessary so that Yahoo receives a net amount after the deduction or withholding equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction been required. You shall pay the deduction or withholding to the relevant taxing authority in accordance with the applicable law and promptly provide acceptable evidence of such payment.
3. ACCESS.
a. You will not: (i) use any automated means, including agents, robots, scripts, or spiders to access, monitor, scrape, or manage your account(s) with us, or to access, monitor, scrape, or copy any Program, the Yahoo Company Sites, or Yahoo Company systems, or any data therein, except those automated means expressly made available by us or authorized by us in advance in writing (e.g. third-party tools approved by us), (ii) bypass any robot exclusion headers on the Yahoo Company Sites (including using any device, software, or routine to accomplish that goal), (iii) interfere or attempt to interfere with the proper working of the Yahoo Company Sites, Programs, or systems, or (iv) use or combine our Programs or offerings with software offered under an open source licence that creates any obligations on us, or grant to any third party any rights to, or immunities under, our intellectual property or proprietary rights in our offerings.
b. You may provide access to our offerings or systems, including your password(s) related to your account(s), solely to Authorized Users and to no other third party. You will promptly notify us in writing if you become aware of a potential breach of security relating to your account(s) with us (e.g. the unauthorized disclosure or use of your username or password). Authorized Users must comply with the Advertising Agreement and you are liable for their acts and omissions in connection with the Agreement, and any charges, costs, fees, or expenses they may accrue.
c. You may use data made available to you in connection with a Yahoo system, platform, or exchange, including data that may be obtained, collected, or derived as a result of any targeting parameters provided by us, solely to manage your advertising account(s) with us and you will not publish such data, create profiles of our users, augment your own user profiles, attempt to identify an end user, reverse engineer, or use such data for retargeting, except as expressly permitted through our Programs. In order to improve our offerings, we frequently test traffic, implementations, and features, and you will pay for all charges as set forth in the applicable IO, cover page, or your online account (in respect of e.g. impressions, clicks) during those tests, but not, for clarity, for the tests themselves.
d. We may redesign or modify the organization, specifications, structure, and appearance of any location where your Ads may be displayed, but such redesign will not materially affect any ongoing ad campaign. Further, we reserve the right to modify or discontinue offering any Program or part thereof. Your Information and Ads must comply with our policies and specifications, which we may change from time to time.
e. If you have been granted API Access, you will be bound by the API Access Program Terms currently located at https://legal.yahoo.com/us/en/yahoo/terms/advertising/apiaccess/index.html (or a successor site), as amended by us from time to time in our sole discretion.
4. YOUR SITE AND INFORMATION; USE OF INFORMATION.
a. The Yahoo Companies are not responsible for any aspect of your or any third-party website(s). You represent, warrant, and covenant that: (i) all your Information is, and will be updated to remain, current and accurate, and (ii) your Information is either original to you or you have secured all necessary rights and licences for its use as contemplated by the Advertising Agreement, and you are responsible for clearance of the same including, without limitation all royalties, payments, and fees (e.g. synchronization, master use and performing rights society fees) and obtaining all usage rights with respect thereto. None of the Yahoo Entities will have any liability for your Ads or Information.
b. In order to participate in any Program, you grant the Yahoo Entities a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide licence in connection with all Programs to: (i) use, copy, reproduce, represent, adapt, reformat, recompile, truncate, and modify any part of the Information for public performance, public display, and distribution, (ii) access, index, and cache the website(s) to which your Ads link, or any portion thereof, by any means, including web spiders and crawlers, (iii) create and display in connection with your Ad copies of any text, images, graphics, audio, and video on the websites to which your Ads link, and (iv) distribute your Ads through the Distribution Network. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and except as set forth below, we will not reformat, truncate, or modify any Ad creative you provide us for premium display advertising. A Yahoo Entity may refuse, reject, cancel, or remove any Ad, Information, or space reservation in its discretion at any time. Your Ads may be subject to inventory availability, and the final decision as to relevance is ours. Except as may be set forth in the relevant Program Terms or on an IO (in respect of e.g. Premium Ads), we do not guarantee that your Ads will be placed in, or available through, any part of the Distribution Network, nor do we guarantee that your Ads will appear in a particular position or rank.
5. CONFIDENTIALITY.
Although the vast majority of what you give us is intended for public display, “Confidential Information” means any information disclosed by you to a Yahoo Company or by a Yahoo Company to you, either directly or indirectly, in writing, orally, or by inspection of tangible objects that is designated as “Confidential,” “Proprietary,” or some similar designation. Information communicated orally and other intangible information will be considered Confidential Information if such information is confirmed in writing as being Confidential Information within a reasonable time after the initial disclosure. Confidential Information will not, however, include any information which: (i) was publicly known and made generally available in the public domain prior to the time of disclosure by the disclosing party, (ii) becomes publicly known and made generally available after disclosure by the disclosing party through no action or inaction of the receiving party, (iii) is already in the possession of the receiving party at the time of disclosure by the disclosing party as shown by the receiving party’s files, records, or other competent evidence prior to the time of disclosure, (iv) is obtained by the receiving party from a third party without a breach of such third party’s obligations of confidentiality, or (v) is independently developed by the receiving party without use of or reference to the disclosing party’s Confidential Information, as shown by documents and other competent evidence in the receiving party’s possession. The receiving party will not at any time (i) disclose, sell, licence, transfer, or otherwise make available to any person or entity any Confidential Information of the disclosing party (except to disclose or make available to, in your case, your employees and Authorized Users, and in our case, our employees, agents, representatives, contractors, account managers, and Affiliates, in each case who have a legitimate need to know such Confidential Information), or (ii) use, reproduce, or copy any Confidential Information of the disclosing party, except as necessary in connection with the purpose for which such Confidential Information is disclosed to the receiving party by the disclosing party, or in connection with or as set forth in the Advertising Agreement. All Confidential Information will remain the disclosing party’s property and all documents, electronic media, and other tangible items containing or relating to any Confidential Information of the disclosing party will be delivered to the disclosing party promptly upon the disclosing party’s written request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither we nor you will be required to remove copies of the other party’s Confidential Information from any backup media or servers, provided the non-use restrictions set forth herein will apply to any Confidential Information retained by the Receiving Party. The receiving party may disclose Confidential Information of the disclosing party in connection with subpoenas, court orders, other legal processes, or as otherwise required by law, provided that the receiving party gives the disclosing party prompt written notice of such requirement (unless expressly prohibited in writing in such subpoena, court order, or other legal process) prior to such disclosure and takes reasonable steps to protect the information from public disclosure, and provided further that any such disclosure is limited to the minimum extent necessary to comply with the legal requirement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Advertising Agreement or the applicable privacy policy, all data and information gathered or received by us in connection with the applicable Program, including your Confidential Information, and all information described in the applicable privacy policy, may be shared with and used by (i) the Yahoo Entities, and (ii) certain selected third parties only in non-identifiable form. Neither you nor we will issue any press release or other public statement regarding the Advertising Agreement or our business relationship without the other’s prior written consent.

The Yahoo Entities will not have any liability regarding the foregoing decisions. If you seek to terminate the Advertising Agreement during the term of an IO or when using Management Services, we will treat your notice of termination as a request to cancel such IO or Management Services (as defined in the DSP Program Terms), but (i) you remain responsible for all clicks or impressions actually delivered until such time as the cancellation and/or termination is effective, and (ii) any licences you have granted us to display your Ads shall remain in effect until such time as cancellation and/or termination is effective.

You must ensure that your contact and account information is current and correct, and promptly notify us in writing of any changes to such information.

13. CHOICE OF LAW; VENUE.
The terms of the Advertising Agreement and any dispute relating thereto or between you and us will be governed by the laws of the Republic of Ireland, without regard to conflict/choice of law principles. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to the Advertising Agreement. You and we agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Republic of Ireland. Any claim against us will be adjudicated on an individual basis and will not be consolidated in any proceeding with any claim or controversy of any other party.
14. OTHER.
14.1 The Advertising Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between you and us regarding the subject matter contained herein and supersedes all proposals, representations, claims, and communications in all forms of media (including all instructions and messages), written and oral, regarding the subject matter contained herein. No terms or conditions other than those set forth in these Advertising Terms and Conditions, cover page(s), or IO Document(s), will be binding on us unless expressly agreed to in writing by us. Each party acknowledges that in entering into this Advertising Agreement it has not relied upon any oral or written statements, collateral or other warranties, assurances, representations or undertakings which were made by or on behalf of the other party in relation to the subject-matter of this Advertising Agreement at any time before its signature (together "Pre-Contractual Statements"), other than those which are set out in this Advertising Agreement. Each party hereby waives all rights and remedies which might otherwise be available to it in relation to such Pre-Contractual Statements. Nothing in this clause shall exclude or restrict the liability of either party arising out of its pre-contract fraudulent misrepresentation or fraudulent concealment. Only a written instrument specifically waiving compliance that is executed by whichever of you or us is entitled to waive such compliance may waive any term(s) or condition(s) of the Advertising Agreement.

DISPLAY ADVERTISING PROGRAM TERMS – If you purchase display Ads (including video and Native Ads) on an IO basis, the following terms also apply. Your Ads must comply with our then current policies and specifications currently located at https://adspecs.yahooinc.com/ (or a successor site), which we may change from time to time. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to (a) deliver impressions in the amounts and locations as specified in an IO, and (b) provide a reasonably balanced delivery of the Ads set forth on an IO, where applicable.
1. DEFINITIONS. “Non-guaranteed Ads” are Ads that are displayed on a space-available basis and are not guaranteed to appear; you pay only for Non-guaranteed Ads that are delivered. Non-guaranteed Ads include Native Ads, run-of-network Ads, and dynamically priced Ads (such as dCPM or oCPM). Desired KPIs for Non-guaranteed Ad campaigns may appear on an IO, but you agree that any listed KPIs are targets only and do not affect your payment obligation. Ads with the Pricing Type of “dCPM,” “oCPM,” “dCPC,” or “oCPC” are dynamically priced Ads whose delivery is optimised by Yahoo. dCPM and oCPM mean the average price per thousand impressions, and dCPC and oCPC mean the average price per click. Yahoo will bill you based upon the actual number of impressions or clicks delivered, as applicable, without exceeding the budget specified. When you use a Yahoo pre-approved third-party ad server that cannot account for dynamic pricing, we will report the total cost to you so you can accurately determine your effective CPM. “Premium Ads” are those Ads that are reserved by you to run on specific sites at specific times (e.g. on Yahoo Sports during the playoffs).
2. DELIVERY. At your direction, we may optimize your campaign by modifying the line items of an IO. We must approve in advance in writing the serving of Ads by anyone other than us. You may only use an Approved Third-Party Vendor to serve Ads, deliver Ads or for campaign measurement and reporting. For Ads in an IO that specify frequency caps, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with such frequency caps, provided that you agree that we are not liable if your Ads are viewed in excess of the frequency cap. For dynamically priced campaigns, we may adjust the location of, and price for, your Ads in an effort to meet your stated target goals (e.g. CPC, CPA). For Premium Ads, if your Information, including any updates, is not given to us three (3) days prior to its anticipated distribution or does not conform to our policies and specifications, (i) we are not required to fulfill the Premium Ads portion(s) of the IO, and (ii) you are still responsible for the media purchased pursuant to the IO. The Yahoo Companies may provide free clicks, free impressions, credits, and discounts, including in connection with contests, incentives, promotions, or donations.
3. MAKE GOODS. For Premium Ads only, if we fail to deliver, by the end of the period specified in the IO, the aggregate number and type of impressions as agreed in the IO, or the impressions are delivered in the wrong location, then (a) you will only be billed for the impressions actually delivered under the terms of the IO, and (b) your sole and exclusive remedy is limited to the following: delivery of the remaining impressions at a later time in a comparable position as determined by us, and/or an extension of the term of the IO to allow for delivery of the remainder of the impressions, in each case at prevailing rates. Make goods are not available in connection with Non-guaranteed Ads, cost-per-day or flat fee Ads, or with line items identified as “Added Value” on the IO.
4. DATA USAGE. In addition to the restrictions set forth above in these Advertising Terms and Conditions, you and we agree as follows:
a. Definitions. (i) “Aggregated” means a form in which data gathered under an IO Document is combined with data from numerous campaigns of numerous advertisers and precludes identification, directly or indirectly, of any particular Advertiser, (ii) “IO Details” are details set forth in an IO Document but only when expressly associated with you or us, including ad pricing and placement information, Ad description, and Ad targeting information, (iii) “Performance Data” is data regarding a campaign gathered during delivery of an Ad pursuant to an IO (e.g. number of impressions, interactions, and header information), but excluding Site Data or IO Details, (iv) “Repurposing” means retargeting a user or appending data to a non-public profile regarding a user for purposes other than performance of an IO Document, (v) “Site Data” is any data that is (a) our pre-existing data used by us pursuant to an IO Document, (b) gathered pursuant to an IO Document during delivery of an Ad that identifies or allows identification of us, Yahoo Company Sites, brand, content, context, or users, or (c) entered by users on any Yahoo Company Site, other than User Volunteered Data, and (vi) “User Volunteered Data” is personally identifiable information collected from individual users by us during delivery of an Ad pursuant to an IO, but only where it is expressly disclosed to such individual users that such collection is solely on behalf of Advertiser.
b. Use of Data. Unless otherwise authorized by us, you will not: (i) use IO Details, Performance Data, or Site Data for Repurposing; provided, however, that Performance Data may be used for Repurposing so long as it is not joined with any IO Details or Site Data, or (ii) disclose our IO Details or Site Data, except as a Transferring Party. Unless otherwise authorized by you, we will not (x) use or disclose your IO Details, Performance Data, or a user’s recorded view or click of an Ad, each of the foregoing on a non-Aggregated basis, for Repurposing or any purpose other than performing under an IO Document, compensating data providers in a way that precludes identification of you, or internal reporting or internal analysis, or (y) use or disclose any User Volunteered Data in any manner other than in performing under the IO. You and we (each, a “Transferring Party”) will require any third party or Affiliate used by the Transferring Party in performance of the IO Document on behalf of such Transferring Party to be bound by confidentiality and non-use obligations at least as restrictive as those on the Transferring Party, unless otherwise set forth in the IO Document. All User Volunteered Data is subject to the Advertiser’s posted privacy policy and is considered Confidential Information of Advertiser. Any other use of such information will be set forth on the IO Document.
5. AD TARGETING. Unless otherwise set forth on an IO Document, when geographic targeting is employed, all Yahoo placements are targeted to the countries specified in the IO Document only.
6. HOMEPAGE AND EMAIL LOGIN TAKEOVERS; FLAT-FEE BUYS. All Yahoo homepage and email login takeover (as opposed to rotational buys) impressions may be displayed on a PC, smartphone, tablet, and/or other device, and we will only be responsible for the aggregate delivery of the total number of impressions across all devices on the date(s) set forth on the IO, notwithstanding any line-level impression numbers stated on the IO. Line items identified as flat-fee or fixed-price placements are sold on a cost-per-day basis, regardless of the number of impressions or clicks delivered. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth on an IO Document, (i) any impression levels listed in connection with the flat-fee line(s) are merely estimates and are not guaranteed, and (ii) no make goods will be made available to Advertiser in connection with any such impression levels.
7. NATIVE AD BUYS. For Ads delivered in the stream of content via Yahoo’s native ad server or otherwise (“Native Ads”) (i) such Ads are Non-guaranteed Ads and will be served by Yahoo, (ii) Yahoo measurements will be used for billing purposes, (iii) on some placements where space is limited, we may only show certain elements of your Native Ad, and (iv) at your direction, we may optimize your account by modifying campaigns, including changing the price of your bids and your budget type.
8. BRAND SAFETY. Except as otherwise expressly agreed between the parties, positioning of Ads within the Distribution Network is at our absolute discretion and we may display Ads for any product or business which competes with your product or business in any part of the Distribution Network. Without prejudice to Yahoo’s rights under the Advertising Agreement, in the United Kingdom, the Digital Trading Statement & Brand Safety Policy — UK currently located at https://emea.adspecs.yahooinc.com/pages/policies-guidelines/UK-Digital-Trading-Statement (or a successor site) (as amended by us from time to time in its sole discretion) will apply to the placement of Ads.
9. VIEWABLE ADS (vCPM). a. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated or referenced herein, for any line item set forth herein designated as subject to a viewability guarantee in the placement name (except for added value companion banners) (“vCPM Ads”), Yahoo will deliver no less than the percentage of impressions set forth on the IO for each such line item as “Viewable” in accordance with the most recent Viewable Ad Impression Measurement Guidelines, prepared by Media Ratings Council, Inc. (“MRC”) (“Viewability Minimum”) and as measured and invoiced based on reports produced by us or an Approved Third-Party Vendor that is certified by the MRC to measure vCPM Ads. If you use an Approved Third-Party Vendor, you agree to either (i) provide Yahoo with daily access to reporting for vCPM Ads directly from the Approved Third-Party Vendor during the campaign term or (ii) provide daily reporting from the Approved Third-Party Vendor directly to Yahoo. If you fail to provide such access or reports as set forth in the foregoing sentence, Yahoo may (i) pause the vCPM Ads until such access or report is provided, and/or (ii) proceed with the campaign using Yahoo’s reports for measurement and invoicing purposes. Yahoo will calculate the total number of billable vCPM Ads for which to invoice you each month during the term of the IO by multiplying the total percent of Viewable impressions, as determined by us or Vendor (as applicable), by the total delivered impressions as measured by us or a third-party ad server (as applicable). Yahoo may over-deliver the vCPM Ads to achieve the Viewability Minimum; provided however, Yahoo will not invoice you in excess of the budgeted vCPM Ads for the applicable placement. Yahoo reserves the right to dispute any Vendor measurements and you and we agree to reconcile any such dispute within ten (10) days. Yahoo is not responsible for any fees incurred by Advertiser from Vendor and/or third-party ad server (as applicable).
b. Unless otherwise set forth on the IO, Yahoo will not guarantee viewability on the following inventory, and the above vCPM terms are not applicable to the following placements: all homepage and mail login buys, Production Content, premium formats (including wallpaper, pushdown, mobile, iPad), roadblocks and sponsorships, and certain video placements including: branded syndication products, audience guarantees, mobile, connected TV, companion banners, overlay Ads, Moments buys, and CPC, CPV, and CPCV offerings.
10. COST PER COMPLETED VIEW (CPCV). All Ads set forth on a line bearing a CPCV billing metric will be billed at the rate specified on the IO for each video that runs to completion with at least 50 percent of the pixels in view, as measured and invoiced by us or a third-party vendor that has been approved by us. CPCV Ads are Non-guaranteed Ads, so no make goods are available, but you are only billed for CPCV Ads that play to completion
11. COST PER VIEW (CPV). All Ads set forth on a line bearing a CPV billing metric will be billed at the rate specified on the IO for each video that runs for at least three (3) seconds with at least fifty (50) percent of the pixels in view, as measured and invoiced by us or a third-party vendor that has been approved by us (provided that Native Ads are always served by us and billed on our numbers). CPV Ads are Non-guaranteed Ads, so no make goods are available, but you are only billed for CPV Ads that play for at least three (3) seconds.
12. COST PER COMPLETED LISTEN (CPCL). All audio Ads set forth on a line bearing a CPCL billing metric will be billed at the rate specified on the IO for each such Ad that runs to completion, as measured and invoiced by us or a third-party vendor that has been approved by us. CPCL audio Ads are Non-guaranteed Ads, so no makegoods are available, but you are only billed for CPCL audio Ads that play to completion.
13. MANAGED DSP BUYS. If the IO includes placements for managed buys on the Yahoo Demand Side Platform (“DSP”), the following terms will also apply to such DSP placements (note: the following terms only apply when the DSP placements are set forth on the IO and Yahoo will be managing the campaign within the Platform on your behalf; a signed DSP cover page would be required if you desire to access and manage campaigns within the DSP user interface directly on a self-service basis): Yahoo, on your behalf, shall have the ability to launch and edit advertising campaign(s) during the flight dates, increase or decrease maximum bids for advertising inventory, set flight dates and frequency limitations, pause/start advertising campaigns, configure optimization objectives and pacing, upload media, access reporting, create retargeting and conversion pixels, and choose placements and targeting.

a. Non-cancellation. All Production Content sponsorships and placements on the IO or IO Document pertaining to the Production Content or “Production” are fully non-cancellable after (i) Yahoo sends a confirmation email to you following receipt of a signed IO or, (ii) where we have permitted you to place IO via a third party booking system, we have accepted the IO you have placed via that third party booking system.
b. Advertiser Branding and Disclosure. Advertiser will be identified as the sponsor of each piece of Production Content, with an appropriate attribution appearing on a Yahoo Company’s sites whenever a piece of Production Content is displayed. Upon expiration of the term of the IO or such other period as detailed in an IO Document, Yahoo may, but will not be obligated to, remove Advertiser’s name or marks from pieces of Production Content on a Yahoo Company’s sites.
c. Approval. Yahoo will have creative control over all Production Content; however, Advertiser shall have the right to final approval of any Production Content which is created to promote Advertiser’s goods or services (the “Commercial Content”), such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Commercial Content is subject to additional fees for extra rounds of editorial revisions beyond those stated in the timeline provided to Advertiser on the kick-off call. Such costs will depend upon the scope of additional work needed and any additional fees will be presented to Advertiser before any revisions are made. Advertiser is responsible for ensuring that Commercial Content complies with all Laws, regulations and codes of practice, including but not limited to, regulations relating to financial products, gambling and alcohol. Advertiser understands and agrees that services and obligations to be performed by us may be performed by other Yahoo Companies and/or third-party service providers.

f. Licence of Commercial Content. Except for any Advertiser Marks or images licensed from a third party, as between Advertiser and Yahoo, Yahoo (and its licensors, as applicable) shall own all right, title, and interest in and to the Commercial Content (including the right to create derivative works therefrom). Unless otherwise provided under an IO Document, Yahoo hereby grants Advertiser a royalty-free, non-transferable licence during the term of the IO to publicly display and promote the Commercial Content (excluding third party images) on Advertiser’s owned and operated websites and/or Advertiser-branded social media accounts in the same form and format as provided to Advertiser by Yahoo. Advertiser agrees to provide attribution to Yahoo any time the Commercial Content is used and include an active link back to the Commercial Content on the Yahoo Company Site. The process for any use by the Agency or the Advertiser during the term of the licence granted above shall be as follows:

(iv) A screengrab of the relevant post shall be shared with Yahoo for approval prior to publication.
For the avoidance of doubt, in respect of any musical content or composition comprised in the Commercial Content, wherever in any particular country of use the performance or public broadcast of the Commercial Content requires that a public performance licence or broadcast licence or such other analogous consent is obtained from a Relevant Collection Agency and/or a payment is required to be made to a Relevant Collection Agency in respect of such performance or broadcast, then: (i) nothing herein shall serve to in any way compromise such requirement for consent; and/or (ii) nothing herein shall be deemed to be a prior grant of consent in relation to the same; and/or (iii) nothing herein shall be deemed to be a waiver of any such requirement to make a payment. You shall procure that any and all royalties and/or fees payable in respect of the public performance of the Commercial Content and any and all royalties and/or fees payable in connection with the exercise of all neighbouring rights in respect of any composition comprised in the Commercial Content are paid either by You and/or any third party authorised to exploit the Commercial Content including any and all broadcasters of the Commercial Content. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Relevant Collection Agency” shall mean the from time to time applicable collection society in respect of the broadcast or public performance of musical compositions.
g. Trademark Licence. Solely in connection with the Production Content, during the term of the applicable IO Document, Yahoo grants to Advertiser a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free licence to use trade names, trademarks, or service marks of Yahoo (“Yahoo Marks”) and Advertiser grants to Yahoo and its Affiliates a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free licence to use the Advertiser Marks (collectively, together with the Yahoo Marks, the “Marks”); provided that each party: (i) does not create a unitary composite mark involving a Mark of the other party without the prior written approval of such other party, (ii) displays symbols and notices clearly and sufficiently indicating the trademark status and ownership of the other party’s Marks in accordance with applicable trademark law and practice, and (iii) complies with all written guidelines provided to it by the other party related to use of the other party’s Marks.

Each party acknowledges that its use of the other party’s Marks will not create in it, nor represent it has, any right, title, or interest in or to such Marks other than the licences expressly granted herein. For the avoidance of doubt any third-party images incorporated within any written Commercial Content are excluded from any licence granted under these Advertising Terms and Conditions unless otherwise agreed in an IO Document.
h. Third Party Usage. If confirmed in the IO Document; Advertiser may (subject to any overriding talent restrictions advised) for the duration of the IO (or such other period of usage as confirmed in the IO Document) publicly display and promote the Commercial Content on certain third-party platforms as indicated in the IO Document (together the “Third Party Platforms”) and in each case (a) provided that such public display and promotion of the Commercial Content on those Third Party Platforms is in the same form and format as provided to Advertiser or Agency (as applicable) by Yahoo; (b) Agency shall procure that Advertiser provides attribution to Yahoo any time the Commercial Content is used, and (c) when used online, the attribution shall include an active link back to the Commercial Content on Yahoo's site.

Yahoo may request that Agency removes (and procures that Advertiser removes) such item from any websites where Advertiser or Agency has posted such Commercial Content in accordance with the take down procedure set out in the Display Advertising Program Terms – Section 16(j) (Take Down of Commercial Content).
j. Take Down of Commercial Content. Should Yahoo believe that any particular item of Commercial Content could negatively impact either or both of the parties, Yahoo may request that Advertiser remove such item from any websites where Advertiser has posted such Commercial Content and Advertiser shall pull down and cease displaying any such Commercial Content as soon as practicable but in no event later than two (2) business days after such request.

Yahoo's editorial teams will have sole discretion with respect to the creation, publication and promotion, if any, of the Editorial Content on the Hub. As between Yahoo and Advertiser, Yahoo (and its licensors, as applicable) shall retain all right, title and interest in and to the Editorial Content. Should Advertiser have concerns about any of the Editorial Content, Advertiser may notify Yahoo and the parties will work together in good faith to determine a mutually agreeable solution.
(ii) Sponsorship Name for Hub. Yahoo will clear the rights to the name of the Hub (e.g. “HuffPost Food for Thought”), and such name and any marks associated therewith will be owned by Yahoo.

Before the start date of the IO, the Agency shall deliver to us the mandate certificate, signed by both the Advertiser and the Agency, authorizing the Agency to act in the name and on behalf of the Advertiser in connection with the IO. If the Agency is also appointed by the Advertiser to pay in the name and on behalf of the Advertiser, we will hold the Agency and the Advertiser jointly and severally liable for the payments due under Section 2.
