VERSION 1

The following terms and conditions (the “Standard Terms”) shall govern the use of the Integral Ad Science, Inc. (“IAS”) products and services (the “Services”) described in the Integral Ad Science Campaign Implementation Agreement (the “IO”) or the Integral Ad Science Statement of Work (“SOW”), as the case may be, entered into between you and IAS. If you are entering into these Standard Terms on behalf of a company or other legal entity, you represent that you have the legal authority to bind the legal entity to these Standard Terms, in which case “you” or “your” shall mean such entity. If you do not have such authority or if you disagree with any of the terms in these Standard Terms, IAS does not grant you a license to use the Services. In the event of any inconsistency between these Standard Terms and the applicable IO or SOW, the applicable IO or SOW control.

You can always find the most recent version of these Standard Terms at integralads.com/terms-and-conditions. IAS may change these Standard Terms by posting a new version without notice to you. Use of the Services after such change constitutes acceptance of such changes.

1. Use of Services.

(a)    Subject to these Standard Terms and payment of any fees pursuant to Section 2 below, IAS hereby grants you a license to access and use the Services listed in the IO or SOW (as applicable) and the IAS Data (as defined below).

(b)    You will comply with any applicable reporting requirements and/or implementation specifications provided to you by IAS (including, without limitation, any and all specifications related to the proper insertion and removal of any advertising tags, ad unit overlays or other code provided by IAS to you and used in connection with the provision of the Services).

(c)    You will not attempt to collect or use data provided in connection with the Services or the IAS Data for purposes of: segmenting, re-targeting, creating or supplementing user profiles or inventory profiles; creating, supplementing or amending interest categories; or syndication or other distribution to third parties.

(d)    If you receive log-level reporting (“LLR”) as part of the Services, such LLR can only be used by you for your own reporting purposes. Without limiting the foregoing, the restrictions set forth in Section 1(c) shall apply to your use of LLR data. The LLR data collected by IAS on your behalf may not be passed to any internal or third-party technology partners including, but not limited to, data management platforms (DMPs), demand side platforms (DSPs), trading desks, exchanges, networks, and supply side platforms (SSPs).

2. Fees.

(a)    You shall pay IAS all fees set forth in the applicable IO or SOW (collectively, the “Fees”). All undisputed Fees are nonrefundable and are payable within thirty (30) days of receipt of the invoice via ACH or wire transfer. If you dispute the validity of an invoiced Fee, you must provide prompt written notice within thirty (30) days to IAS stating the details of any such dispute. If only a portion on an invoice is in dispute, you must pay all undisputed amounts in accordance with the terms of this Section 2. Acceptance by IAS of any partial payment does not constitute a waiver of the disputed amounts. Where Fees are calculated according to numbers of impressions, such Fees may include impressions which occur after the end of a campaign or following the termination of the applicable IO or SOW as a result of your failure failing to remove one or more tags. IAS reserves the right to charge a late fee on any amount not paid after fifteen (15) days of receipt of written notification of non-payment equal to 1.5% per month (or, if lower, the maximum rate allowed by law) on the outstanding balance for the period such payment is delinquent. In the event you fail to make timely payment, you will be responsible for all reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by IAS in collecting such amounts. In addition, you will be responsible for all taxes in connection with the Services (excluding taxes based on IAS’s net income).

(b)    The parties agree that the rates listed in the applicable IO or SOW may be modified by IAS in its sole discretion. IAS shall provide you with at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of any price modifications. Your continued use of the Services after notice of any rate change shall constitute your acceptance of such updated rates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, you may terminate these Standard Terms by giving written notice to IAS if such rate change is not acceptable to you.

(c)    To the extent that You have identified a media partner in your IO or SOW as paying for certain Fees (“Media Partner Fees”), You agree that You will use commercially reasonable efforts to assist IAS with the collection of any delinquent Fees from such Media Partner to the extent that such media partner fails to remit payment to IAS with respect to any validly issued invoice sent to such media partner by IAS. You shall be responsible for any Media Partner Fees in the event that your identified media partner(s) fail to remit payment to IAS.

3. Intellectual Property.
