1.2. Orders. Each Order shall specify the relevant fees and, if specified by EMX, the Total Spend. Publisher’s delivery of Advertising Material as specified in an Order shall be deemed Publisher’s acceptance of the Order’s specifications, terms and conditions, including any payment rates.
1.3. Adjustments to Orders. The parties may make adjustment to Orders via a written change order which the parties have mutually agreed upon. The parties may agree to a change order by email.
2. Invoicing and Payment.
2.1. Payment to the Publisher. Within 60 days after the last day of each calendar month, EMX will pay Publisher the Publisher Earnings for Advertising Material actually delivered by EMX to each of Publisher’s Site(s) approved by EMX during the applicable calendar month and for which EMX has been paid by the Advertiser. EMX’s payment shall be subject to the applicable Order’s specifications, terms and conditions. Publisher acknowledges that EMX bills its Advertisers, and pays its Publishers, based on actual delivery. Additionally, there is a minimum threshold on Publisher payments in the amount of $100 dollars and any amount below this threshold will be paid when the cumulative amount owing to the Publisher reaches this minimum.
2.2. Liability for Publisher’s Revenue. Publisher understands and agrees that the EMX Marketplace facilitates purchases by Advertisers, but that EMX is not responsible for Advertisers’ payments. Publisher agrees that EMX shall only be liable to pay Publisher to the extent that EMX has received payment from Advertisers, and only to the extent Advertisers’ payments have cleared and constitute funds immediately available to EMX. EMX agrees to make every reasonable effort to bill, collect and clear payment from Advertisers on a timely basis. EMX reserves the absolute right not to make any payments if the Publisher violates any of the terms and conditions set forth herein.
2.3. Calculation of Balance. EMX will determine the Publisher’s due balances within the first week of each calendar month. This determination shall be calculated based on the amount of traffic during the prior month as counted by the EMX tracking system. Publisher shall notify EMX in writing if it disputes the calculation within 30 days after the last calendar day of the month in question. All EMX calculated payments after that period shall be deemed to be correct and final.
2.4. Disputes. If Publisher disputes all or part of a payment made by EMX, EMX shall pay the undisputed part, and the disputed part shall be negotiated between the parties in good faith until agreement is reached.
2.5. Taxes. EMX assumes no responsibility for paying income taxes on behalf of Publisher. By participating in the EMX Marketplace, Publisher assumes complete and sole responsibility for any taxes owed as a consequence thereof. Publishers residing in the United States agree to provide their Federal Employee Identification Number to EMX for tax reporting purposes. In no event will payments be made on accounts that have not provided proper tax identification information. Such information will be used for no purpose other than for tax reporting purposes. International Publishers may be asked to complete appropriate forms for tax purposes.
3. Advertising Materials.
3.1. Linking and Trafficking Guidelines. Prior to displaying the first Advertising Materials specified in an Order, EMX shall provide Publisher with trafficking guidelines, linking instructions, URL, banner, and alternative text for the Advertising Material as appropriate. EMX may make changes to any Advertising Material upon 48 hours’ notice, via e-mail, telephone or fax. Publisher shall process such changes so as to deliver the Advertising Material correctly, clearly, and at the times and frequencies specified by EMX. In the event Publisher fails to run the Advertising Material properly, EMX may require appropriate delivery of additional Advertising Material and/or a proportional or total reduction in amounts payable.
3.2. Delivery of Advertising Material. EMX shall provide all Advertising Material to Publisher. EMX shall issue Orders to Publisher, and shall provide Publisher with appropriate instructions. If Publisher is unable to obtain the Advertising Materials from EMX on a consistent basis, Publisher shall cease delivering Advertising Material and shall contact EMX promptly, but in no event more than one business day after the problem first occurred. Publisher shall not resume the display of Advertising Materials until EMX directs Publisher to do so.
3.3. EMX HTML Insertion Code. Publisher shall place the EMX HTML Insertion Code on all appropriate pages within its Site(s). Publisher shall not alter, sell or disclose the EMX HTML Insertion Code in any way without EMX’s prior written consent. The EMX HTML Insertion Code for Advertising Material may not be used on a web page other than one located at Site approved by EMX and may not be distributed or submitted to any newsgroup, e-mail distribution list, chat room, guest books, or other location which would result in the execution of such code without a bona fide visit to a Site approved by EMX.
3.4. Modification of Advertising Material. Advertising Material must not be modified from its original format without consent from EMX. Publisher agrees to use the Advertising Material provided for displaying not more than one ad unit per ad placement per page view. Advertising Material cannot be placed in email messages. Publisher cannot alter, copy, modify, take, sell, reuse, or divulge any computer code for the Advertising Materials, except as is necessary to partake in the EMX Marketplace, provided, however, with the prior approval of EMX, the Publisher may, in certain instances, modify the Advertising Material computer code for purposes of inserting certain pre-approved language above or below the Advertising Material. Any language to be inserted must be approved in advance, in writing by EMX. If Publisher violates this provision, EMX, may, at its option, either reduce or eliminate any and all payments due hereunder, and/or terminate this Agreement as provided herein.
3.5. Recording of Service Counts. EMX shall have the sole responsibility for calculation of statistics, including Impressions and revenue numbers. Publisher understands that EMX’s reporting data may not be 100% accurate and that EMX may make adjustments to Publisher’s reporting data at the end of each calendar month to account for statistical errors. In the event that coding on Publisher’s Site(s) generates a substantial number of erroneous Impressions due to a technical problem such as a server malfunction, coding alteration or a mistake in entering code, Publisher agrees to respond any e-mail sent by EMX technical support within 48 hours. If Publisher does not respond to this alert within 48 hours, EMX reserves the right to not show any revenue-producing Advertising Material on the relevant Site(s).
3.6. Fraudulent Activity. Any methods and/or means direct or indirect, intentional, accidental, or incidental, that artificially and/or fraudulently inflate the volume of impressions or clicks is strictly forbidden. Final counts of impressions or clicks, revenue earned, and amounts to be paid to Publisher will be decided solely on the basis of reports generated by EMX’s advertising systems/ad server(s) and the assessment of publisher data by the EMX Policy Team. The prohibited methods described above include but are not limited to: framing an ad-banner’s click-through destination, auto-spawning of browsers, blind text links, running “spiders” against the Publisher’s own website, automatic redirecting of users, pop-up windows or any other technique of generating automatic or fraudulent (as determined by EMX, acting reasonably, or based on industry practices) click-throughs and/or impressions.
Advertising Material may not be placed on pages which reload automatically. Publisher may not require users to click on Advertising Material prior to entering a web site or any area therein or provide incentives of any nature to encourage or require users to click on Advertising Material. Publisher’s click-throughs of any link; use of any means of artificially enhancing click results; or use of any other of the prohibited methods or means set out in this Section 3.6 shall be a material breach of this Agreement, and upon such occurrence, EMX may terminate this Agreement effective upon delivery of notice and at its sole discretion withhold any payments due to Publisher. Such determination and action is at the sole discretion of EMX and is not in lieu of any other remedy available at law or equity. EMX’s ad server(s) will be the official counter for determining the number of Advertising Material delivered under an applicable Order, and amounts payable under this Agreement. Additionally EMX may withhold amounts relating to advertiser chargebacks or credits from payment to publisher if EMX and EMX Policy Team in its sole reasonable discretion, believes the performance related to them is fraudulent or invalid in nature, or if EMX was charged or credited back in their respect by any customer. Payment amounts displayed in EMX reporting systems may be adjusted at any time and may not reflect final payment to publisher as per adjustments made hereunder. EMX may withhold payment to Publisher even if there are no advertiser chargebacks.
3.7. Ad Placement. EMX reserves the right to limit ad placements on Site(s) in EMX’s sole discretion.
3.8 Ads.txt. Publisher shall include EMX’s information in Publisher’s Ads.txt file. EMX shall provide to Publisher the EMX information to include in the Ads.txt file.
4. Eligible Site(s).

EMX regularly performs compliance audits. If EMX determines that any Site(s) include any Undesirable Content, EMX may discontinue media buying immediately upon notice, and Publisher shall immediately cease delivering Advertising Material provided by EMX on such Site(s). In no event will EMX or Advertisers be obligated to pay for Advertising Material delivered through Site(s) containing Undesirable Content after Publisher’s receipt of such notice from EMX.
