(a) Netsertive, Inc. (“Netsertive”) will provide Client and if applicable, its Qualified Channel Partners (as defined below) certain digital marketing and promotional services as further described in one or more Quotes as mutually agreed by the parties from time to time, as modified by Change Orders from time to time (the “Services”). Services will utilize Netsertive’s proprietary technology, service networks and skilled marketing professionals. Further, in connection with the Services, Netsertive is authorized to determine how to allocate any Digital Marketing Funds on Client’s behalf to best drive performance and achievement of Client objectives as measured by Netsertive’s systems. Services are provided only for the benefit of Client and its Qualified Channel Partners, if any. Except as expressly permitted herein, Client may not resell or provide the Services to or for the benefit of any other third party or permit any third party to use the Services. The terms and conditions set forth herein shall govern all such Services. In the event of any conflict between these terms and conditions and the Quote, the Quote will govern. At any time during the term of Services set forth in a Quote, Client may request future additions or modifications to the Services (each a “Change”). No Change shall be considered as an addition or modification to the Services, except pursuant to a written change order mutually agreed by the parties (a “Change Order”). Any Change Order can be affected by email and counter-email or through other written communications.
(b) Client may identify certain retailers, resellers, distributors or dealers (“Channel Partners”) to participate in Client’s media campaign(s) and receive Services from Netsertive. The applicable Quote will provide the requirements for such Channel Partners to be eligible to participate in such media campaigns and receive Services hereunder, which requirements may include the execution and delivery by such Channel Partners of a Digital Marketing Agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Netsertive (an eligible channel partner who has met such requirements is referred to herein as a “Qualified Channel Partner”).
(a) The fee for Services is as set forth on the Quote applicable thereto (such fee or fees (including any Digital Marketing Funds, as described below), collectively, the “Service Fee”). The Service Fee may include an amount of “Digital Marketing Funds”, as specified on the Quote. Netsertive will consult with Client to determine the appropriate level of Digital Marketing Funds based on the Client’s business objectives and factors such as, among other things, market share and the size of the applicable market. Digital Marketing Funds include management fees based on the quantity purchased and form a part of the Service Fee in consideration of Services provided hereunder.(b) Unless otherwise provided in the Quote, Service Fees will be invoiced upon execution of the Quote and then monthly in advance thereafter. All payments are nonrefundable and shall be made in United States Dollars. Invoices shall be payable within 30 days of receipt by Client. If any payment remains outstanding after the due date, Netsertive may suspend the Services until Client’s account is current. Further, past due payments will be subject to late charges of the lesser of (i) one percent (1%) per month or (ii) the maximum rate allowed by law. Client is responsible for taxes incurred in connection with the Services, including any sales and use taxes, but not any taxes payable on the net income of Netsertive. For clarity, Netsertive is solely responsible for its third party marketing costs and Client bears no risk related to these third party costs.
(a) Subject to Section 3(c), these terms and conditions shall apply to Services ordered by Client pursuant to an Quote and shall continue in full force and effect while any Quote shall remain outstanding (as indicated on such Quote), including with respect to any Changes to such Quote agreed by the parties from time to time.
