Publisher shall immediately notify IClickInteractive.com in writing if Publisher receives notice of any complaints, inquiries or investigations related to the Publisher Websites, Publisher Database, any Sub-Publishers or any other violations for Publisher’s or any Sub-Publisher’s business whether or not Publisher must indemnify IClickInteractive.com for such claim.
FORCE MAJEURE:
Publisher agrees that IClickInteractive.com will not be liable or considered in breach of this Agreement for IClickInteractive.com’s delay or failure to perform as required under the terms of this Agreement as a result of any causes or conditions beyond IClickInteractive.com’s reasonable control and that IClickInteractive.com cannot overcome through exercising commercially reasonable diligence (a "Force Majeure Event"). If any such Force Majeure Event occurs including, without limitation, acts of God, fires, explosions, telecommunications, Internet or network failure, results of vandalism or computer hacking, storm or other natural occurrences, national emergencies, acts of terrorism, insurrections, riots, wars, strikes or other labor difficulties, or any act or omission of any other person or entity, IClickInteractive.com will give Publisher notice and will use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the impact of any such event.
DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROVISIONS:
This Agreement shall be treated as though it were executed and performed in Forsyth County, Georgia and shall be governed by and construed under the laws of Georgia (without regard to conflict of law principles). Any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be resolved in a binding arbitration under the auspices of the American Arbitration Association in Forsyth County, Georgia under the then current Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Besides all other rights and remedies a party may have, the prevailing party in any arbitration or legal action shall be entitled to an award of its reasonable attorneys' fees and costs. Any award rendered shall be final and conclusive to the parties and a judgment thereon may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. This binding arbitration provision shall not, however, prevent either party from seeking equitable or injunctive relief in a court of competent jurisdiction. Publisher agrees that any unauthorized and/or unlawful use of the Publisher Program would cause irreparable injury to IClickInteractive.com for which monetary damages would be inadequate. In such event, IClickInteractive.com shall have the right, besides other remedies available to it under this Agreement, to immediate injunctive relief against Publisher without the need to post a bond. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to limit any legal remedies available to IClickInteractive.com. To the extent permitted by law, you agree you will not bring, join or participate in any class action lawsuit as to any claim, dispute or controversy you may have against IClickInteractive.com and its employees, officers, directors, members, representatives and/or assigns. You agree to the entry of injunctive relief to stop such a lawsuit or to remove you as a participant in the suit. You agree to pay the attorney's fees and court costs that IClickInteractive.com incurs in seeking such relief. This preventing you from bringing, joining or participating in class action lawsuits: (i) does not constitute a waiver of your rights and remedies to pursue a claim individually and (ii) is an independent agreement.
CLASS ACTION WAIVER:
Any proceedings to resolve or litigate any dispute in any forum will be conducted solely on an individual basis. Neither you nor IClickInteractive.com will seek to have any dispute heard as a class action, private attorney general action, or in any other proceeding in which either party acts or proposes to act in a representative capacity. No arbitration or proceeding will be combined with another without the prior written consent of all parties to all affected arbitrations or proceedings. Furthermore, you agree that you will not seek to have any dispute against any lender to whom you are referred heard as a class action, private attorney general action, or in any other proceeding in which either party acts or proposes to act in a representative capacity.
MISCELLANEOUS:
If any Section or provision of this Agreement, or the application of such Section or provision, is held invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, applicable statute or rule of law, then such Section or provision shall be deemed automatically adjusted to the minimum extent necessary to conform to the requirements for validity as declared at such time and, as so adjusted, shall be deemed a Section or provision of this Agreement as though originally included herein. If the Section or provision invalidated is of such a nature it cannot be so adjusted, the Section or provision shall be deemed deleted from this Agreement as though such Section or provision had never been included herein. In either case, the remaining Sections and provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted to reasonably affect the original intent of IClickInteractive.com and Publisher. Section headings are included for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.
IClickInteractive.com and Publisher are independent contractors, and nothing in this Agreement will create any partnership, joint venture, agency, franchise, sales representative or employment relationship between the parties. IClickInteractive.com’s failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of such provision nor of the right to enforce such provision. Any attempt by any individual, whether or not an Publisher, to damage, destroy, tamper with, vandalize or otherwise interfere with the operation of the Publisher Program, violates both criminal and civil law and IClickInteractive.com may diligently pursue any and all remedies against any offending individual or entity to the fullest extent permissible by law and in equity. This Agreement will be binding on, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable against the parties and IClickInteractive.com’s successors and assigns. Publisher may transfer no rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any attempt to do so shall be deemed invalid and shall give IClickInteractive.com the right immediate to terminate this Agreement.

EXHIBIT A: QUALITY CONTROL GUIDELINES
IClickInteractive.com LLC (IClickInteractive.com) is serious about maintaining the highest quality leads in the industry. Therefore, IClickInteractive.com will only pay a fee for leads that comply with applicable international, federal, state or local laws, these Quality Control Guidelines, and that are not generated by fraudulent practices.
A valid lead (aka “action” or “user action”) is a lead with accurate and complete information (i.e., all necessary fields have been completed by the consumer). Valid leads must be from real people (consumers) who express a genuine interest in the offer. IClickInteractive.com will only pay for valid leads. The following Quality Control Guidelines must be met to generate a valid lead:
For all lead generation activity:
1. Leads must not come from computer-generated sources such as robots, spiders, computer scripts or from other automated, artificial or fraudulent methods, including without limitation any methods designed to appear like an individual, real live person.
2. Leads must not be processed or entered by anyone other than the consumer named in the lead. Call center operations may be exempt from this requirement with IClickInteractive.com’s prior consent and written approval.
3. Leads must not contain false, incomplete or inaccurate information.
4. Leads must not be from persons never interested in receiving information in the offer, or from persons misled into submitting their information.
5. Leads must not be duplicate leads, defined as the same contact information (same or similar name with the same phone number or email address) sent to IClickInteractive.com in the last 30 days. For “payday loan” leads, new consumer-generated requests within 30 days may be accepted if they are not duplicative of prior requests.
6. Unless prior written authorization is provided by IClickInteractive.com, Leads must not be incentivized (including without limitation leads generated by offering incentives, payments, rebates or other things of value intended to increase conversion rates).
7. Leads must not be obtained using misleading or confusing language encouraging persons to submit their contact information.
8. Unless prior written authorization is provided by IClickInteractive.com, Leads must not be generated with any websites or offers that are oriented toward, show or promote pornographic or sexually explicit content, gambling, racist or hate speech or other offensive material as determined solely by IClickInteractive.com.
9. Leads sent to IClickInteractive.com must not be sold to other lead buyers, lead aggregators, vendors, wholesale or retailer buyers (i.e., only EXCLUSIVE leads are acceptable). This requirement may be waived only with IClickInteractive.com’s prior written consent.
10. Leads must not be misclassified (for example, a payday loan lead is not valid if the consumer was seeking information on debt relief programs).
11. The consumer completing the request form must be 18 years of age or older.
12. Leads obtained through Craigslist or other similar online classified ad websites must not be misleading, including without limitation any strategies that redirect persons to landing pages for purposes not clearly referenced or explained in the original ad.
13. Lead generation methods must comply with the terms of use and privacy policy of the website or internet service provider utilized.
14. Leads must not be generated through advertisements that are misleading, untrue and/or infringing on any trademark, copyright or other third-party intellectual property rights.
15. Leads must be delivered to IClickInteractive.com in real-time.
16. Leads must not be obtained using any other fraudulent or illegal practices.
17. Leads related to consumer finance (including without limitation payday loan leads) must meet a redirect rate of no less than 90%.
18. Leads sold via Ping Tree must not be sold on an exclusive basis.
For lead generation in legal verticals:
1. Advertisements and creative must comply with all applicable state laws and regulations, including without limitation those governing attorney advertising, solicitations and ethics.
2. Advertisements and creative must not be posted, displayed or directed to any websites or URLs that contain communications regarding an attorney’s services or legal services that: (i) either expressly state or imply qualifications of the attorney or the attorney’s services, (ii) includes misleading information likely to create unjustified expectations about a specific attorney or the nature of legal services offered, (iii) compare the attorney or legal services to those of other attorneys or legal services, or (iv) promise results.
3. The services provided by IClickInteractive.com or its publishers shall not be referred to (directly or indirectly, express or implied) as a referral service or prepaid legal services plan. Any descriptions of IClickInteractive.com or its publishers must accurately describe its services consistent with the disclaimers and information on the website(s) provided by IClickInteractive.com.
4. All advertisements must be approved in writing by IClickInteractive.com prior to use. Unless approved by IClickInteractive.com, advertisements must not contain images or depictions of money, judges, celebrities, extreme emotional appeals, acts of violence or imagery of weapons. Advertisements containing pictures of people, as lawyers, clients, etc., must contain a disclaimer in the footer stating: “All photos are of models and do not depict clients” or substantially similar language.
5. Any landing pages designed for IClickInteractive.com must be approved in writing by IClickInteractive.com prior to use and must contain a disclaimer in the footer as supplied by IClickInteractive.com. All landing pages designed for IClickInteractive.com must also contain a valid, working link to IClickInteractive.com’s Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy.
Examples of prohibited advertising language (these are examples only and are not exhaustive lists):
Regarding the promise of results or creating unjustified expectations, do not use the following or similar language:
Regarding qualifiers used to describe attorneys, you may refer to attorneys as “local” or “practicing in [specified area of law]”. Do not use works like “expert”, “specialist”, “certified”, “best”, “qualified”, etc.
Do not make statements regarding past success. For example, do not state “sponsoring DUI lawyers have helped thousands of people get out of DUI charges”.
Do not state or imply that IClickInteractive.com or its publishers are a referral service. For example, do not state:
Publishers shall not perform any search engine marketing, including purchasing key words, which does not comply with the following Search Engine Marketing (SEM) Policy:
If Publisher engages in an email campaign, it shall comply with the following Email Policy:
Offsets and Credits (for all lead generation activities):
If IClickInteractive.com pays for leads that are later deemed invalid or were generated in violation of these Quality Control Guidelines, such fees must be repaid to IClickInteractive.com on demand. IClickInteractive.com may withhold the payment of future money due as a credit against invalid or fraudulent leads for which payment was previously made.
