Taboola will not review Advertiser’s activity and Taboola is not responsible or liable for (and will not grant any credits for) any mistakes made by Advertiser in the managing of its own Campaign. Advertiser acknowledges that any analytics provided in the Analytics Dashboard are estimates and will only be finalized fourteen (14) days after the conclusion of any calendar month in which a Campaign has run (each a “Campaign Month”).
3. Except as otherwise specifically set forth herein, the grant of the foregoing licenses does not confer on either party any other proprietary rights, titles, and interests relating to patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade dresses, trade secrets, algorithms, know-how, mask works, droit moral (moral rights), and all similar rights of every type that may exist now or in the future in any jurisdiction, including, without limitation, all applications and registrations therefore and all rights to apply for any of the foregoing (the “Intellectual Property Rights”).

To the extent that Advertiser requests that Taboola assist with the optimization of any of Advertiser’s Campaign titles and Taboola agrees to do so, Advertiser (i) represents and warrants that it can substantiate any and all information that it has provided to Taboola for use in the creation of such titles; (ii) shall be solely responsible for all claims made in such titles; and (iii) shall indemnify Taboola for any Losses (as defined below) arising out of any such Campaign titles. Advertiser shall not attempt to gain access to the accounts of other Taboola customers or to extract data from the Analytics Dashboard for commercial purposes.
Campaign Details:
1. Payment: Before distributing Advertiser’s Content on the Taboola Network, Taboola may require a prepayment of the Campaign Budget Budget for any Campaign Month (“Prepayment”) from Advertiser before distributing the Advertiser’s Content until such time that advertiser has established a credit history with Taboola, which Prepayment shall be made via credit card through the Wizard. All payments made by credit card will incur a processing fee of 2.0% – 3.5% (region depending) per transaction, which will be reflected in the invoice. In the absence of a Prepayment, Taboola will charge the credit card submitted by Advertiser via the Wizard once the Campaign spend reaches certain increments set by Taboola. Any late payments will accrue interest equal to one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month, or the maximum amount allowable under law, whichever is less, compounded monthly. If Advertiser withdraws its credit card information prior to the end of its Campaign and does not replace it with a valid alternative method of payment, Taboola reserves the right to, notwithstanding the withdrawal, charge the credit card for all Campaigns that were initiated prior to withdrawal (this includes the tail payment owed for the amount spend below the established increment). In addition to any other rights or remedies that Taboola may have, Advertiser’s failure to pay any invoices as set forth herein may result in Taboola cancelling or pausing Advertiser’s Campaigns. Further, if Advertiser fails to make any payment as set forth herein, Advertiser shall pay all reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by Taboola in collecting such payments. Upon the conclusion of each calendar month that the Campaign is running on the Taboola Network (each a “Campaign Month”), the Analytics Dashboard will provide Advertiser with details regarding the amount of Clicks on Advertiser’s Content and the amount of the Prepayment, if applicable, spent by Advertiser (based on the cost per click set by Advertiser in the Analytics Dashboard during the Campaign Month). Advertiser acknowledges that any analytics provided in the Analytics Dashboard are estimates, and will only be finalized after fourteen (14) days of the Campaign Month. For purposes of clarity, all payments shall be made in the currency designated by Taboola, unless otherwise agreed to in a separate writing between the parties.
  1. For each Campaign, the parties will agree to one of the following payment, except that only video Advertiser Content will be eligible to be paid on a CPM, vCPM, or CPCV model (each as hereinafter defined): (i) Cost per Click (“CPC”): Advertiser pays Taboola each time a visitor to a Taboola Property (a “Visitor”) clicks on Advertiser Content. A click will be counted each time a Visitor clicks on Advertiser Content as measured and reported in Taboola’s tracking logs (the “Click”), which are available to Advertiser anytime on the Analytics Dashboard; (ii) Cost per Thousand Impressions (“CPM”): Advertiser pays Taboola for each Advertiser Content impression and, in the case of video Advertiser Content, once a video ad has started to play (i.e., the first frame). An impression will be counted each time Advertiser Content is displayed on a Taboola Prperty (the “Impression”); (iii) Cost per Thousand Viewable Impressions (“vCPM”): Advertiser pays Taboola only for viewable Impressions and, in the case of video Advertiser Content, a video ad is deemed viewable when at least fifty percent (50%) of its pixels appear on-screen for at least two (2) consecutive seconds; and (iv) Costs per Completed View (“CPCV”): Advertiser pays Taboola each time a Visitor views video Advertiser Content until Completion. Completion occurs when: (1) a Visitor views video Advertiser Content until the end of the video; (2) the video Advertiser Content runs for at least thirty (30) seconds; or (3) the Visitor clicks on the video Advertiser Content. CPCs, CPMs, CPCvs, vCPMs are dynamic (i.e. they might be adjusted in order to effectively compete for a particular ad placement). Except as otherwise set forth herein, all of the foregoing payment models are inclusive of all costs associated with running a Campaign on the Taboola Network, including, without limitation, all data, tech, ad serving, brand safety, and auction costs.
  2. Taboola may at any time during the Term, in its sole discretion, grant Advertiser a credit line.If Advertiser is given a credit line, within fourteen (14) days of the conclusion of each Campaign Month Taboola shall send Advertiser an invoice setting out the charges for such Campaign Month and the balance due. Any objection to any invoice shall be stated in writing to Taboola within ten (10) days of receipt of the invoice, otherwise Advertiser waives such objections and such invoice will be deemed final, not subject to dispute, and accepted by Advertiser. Advertiser acknowledges that any analytics provided in the Analytics Dashboard or over email during the Campaign Month are estimates, and that each invoice shall reflect the final charges for each Campaign Month and the balance due. Advertiser shall pay each invoice within thirty (30) days of the conclusion of each Campaign Month. Any late payments will accrue interest equal to one-and-one-half percent (1.5%) per month, or the maximum amount allowable under law, whichever is less, compounded monthly. In addition to any other rights or remedies that Taboola may have, Advertiser’s failure to pay any invoices as set forth herein may result in Taboola cancelling or pausing Advertiser’s Campaigns. Further, if Advertiser fails to make any payment as set forth herein, Advertiser shall pay all reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by Taboola in collecting such payments. If Taboola agrees to a written request by an Advertiser to send an invoice to a third party on Advertiser’s behalf, Advertiser agrees to remain responsible and liable for payment, and if such third party does not pay the invoice within the thirty (30) day payment period, Advertiser shall immediately pay all such amounts to Taboola.
2. Invoice Taxes: Taboola may charge any applicable national, state, or local sales or use taxes or value added taxes that Taboola is legally obligated to charge (the “Taxes”). If applicable, Advertiser may provide Taboola with an exemption certificate or equivalent information acceptable to the relevant taxing authority, in which case Taboola will not charge or collect the Taxes covered by such certificate. In the event that any amount payable by Advertiser hereunder is subject to deduction or withholding for taxes, including value added taxes,the amount payable by Advertiser hereunder shall be increased such that the amount received by Taboola equals the amount stated on the applicable invoice. Upon written request, Taboola will provide Advertiser with any forms, documents, or certifications as may be required for Advertiser to satisfy any information reporting or withholding tax obligations with respect to any payments under this Agreement. If applicable, advertiser will be responsible for reporting relevant taxes, including value added taxes, in its place of residency.
3. Video Bandwidth Fees: Impressions of any video Advertiser Content that is 6MB or larger, shall incur a “Video Bandwidth Fee”, at a rate equal to five cents per gigabyte served ($0.00005/MB). For example, if 1000 Impressions of an 8MB video Advertiser Content file were served hereunder, the Video Bandwidth Fee with respect that file would be $0.40 (i.e. 1000 Impressions * 8MB * $.00005).
4. Data Fees: Advertiser may be given the ability to target its Advertiser Content to certain audiences on the Taboola Network by using Taboola-provided audience data segments based on inferred Visitor interests or demographics (“Data Segments”). If Data Segments are used, CPCs and invoices shall be inclusive of a “Data Fee.” Where Advertiser employs such Data Segments, the following restrictions shall apply:
  1. Advertiser shall not cache the Data Segments in a manner that would permit Advertiser to re-use them (or any functional equivalent or model of them);
  2. Advertiser shall not resell the Data Segments; and
  3. Advertiser shall not associate the Data Segments with any personal information, such as a first or last name, street address, email address, phone number, or other identifier of a natural person.
  4. Advertiser shall not utilize the Data Segments in violation of any applicable law (including, if applicable, the Fair Lending Act).
  5. Campaign Information: Advertiser may change the Campaign Details for a particular month, a portion of a month, or on a going-forward basis at any time dashboard in the Analytics Dashboard. Advertiser acknowledges and agrees that Taboola does not guarantee how often it will recommend any Advertiser Content or that the number of Clicks during any period will fully exhaust Advertiser’s Campaign Budget. For purposes of clarity, the Campaign Budget shall be in the currency designated by Taboola, unless otherwise agreed to in a separate writing between the parties.
  6. Reporting: Taboola’s measurements regarding Clicks are the definitive measurements under this Agreement and will be used to calculate the amounts due to Taboola hereunder.
Campaign Management: Advertiser understands and agrees that Advertiser is responsible for its own actions in the Analytics Dashboard with respect to the Campaign. Taboola will not review Advertiser’s activity and Taboola is not responsible or liable for any mistakes made by Advertiser in the managing of its own Campaign. Taboola reserves the right to restrict Advertiser’s ability to edit Campaign Details in the Analytics Dashboard for any reason or no reason.

For clarity, Taboola shall be entitled to retain the Prepayment and will not refund any such funds in the event of such breach by Advertiser.
Choice of Law: This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of England excluding its conflicts of law principles. The parties hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts. The parties hereto each expressly agree not to commence or maintain any action in any other court or forum in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of Advertiser’s default of its obligations in Paragraph 4 above, Taboola shall have the right, if it so chooses, to commence an action against Advertiser for such default in the appropriate court in the venue and jurisdiction in which Advertiser resides or maintains assets.
Successors and Assigns: This Agreement, including the rights and obligations of each party hereunder, shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, acquirers, successors, and assigns. This Agreement and any rights or obligations hereunder shall not be assigned or delegated without the prior written consent of the other party and shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, except that: (a) either party may assign this Agreement to an acquirer of all or substantially all of such party’s assets, whether by merger, operation of law or otherwise, without the other party’s prior written consent, so long as the acquirer agrees in writing to pay in full any outstanding balance Advertiser owes to Taboola under this Agreement ; and (b) Taboola may assign this Agreement, without Advertiser’s consent, to its parent company or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries.
Taboola’s Provision of the Service: Advertiser acknowledges that Taboola’s parent company, Taboola.com Ltd., owns all Intellectual Property Rights in and to the Service, the Platform, and any related technology and that Taboola is just a licensor and distributor of the Service, the Platform, and any related technology. Accordingly, Advertiser understands and agrees that the Advertiser Content will be distributed pursuant to the Service and any related technology licensed by Taboola.com Ltd. to Taboola and that certain other backend services will be performed by Taboola.com Ltd., on behalf of Taboola. Advertiser hereby consents to Taboola’s delegation of the performance of some of the Service hereunder to Taboola.com Ltd., subject to Taboola remaining liable for the complete and correct discharge of all its responsibilities hereunder.
Force Majeure: Neither Advertiser nor Taboola will be liable for delay or default in the performance of its respective obligations under this Agreement if such delay or default is caused by conditions beyond its reasonable control, including, but not limited to, fire, flood, accident, earthquakes, telecommunications line failures, electrical outages, network failures, acts of God, or labor disputes. If Advertiser’s ability to transfer funds to third parties has been materially adversely affected by an event beyond Advertiser’s reasonable control, including, but not limited to, failure of banking clearing systems or a state of emergency, then Advertiser will make every reasonable effort to make payments on a timely basis to Taboola, but any delays caused by such condition will be excused for the duration of such condition. Subject to the foregoing, such excuse for delay will not in any way relieve Advertiser from any of its obligations as to the amount of money that would have been due and paid without such condition.
Miscellaneous: This Agreement constitutes the complete and exclusive understanding and agreement between the parties regarding the subject matter herein and supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous agreements or understandings, written or oral, relating to its subject matter. The failure of either party to enforce strict performance by the other party of any provision in this Agreement or to exercise any right under this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of that party’s right to do so at any later point. Taboola may modify these Terms at any time. No click-through, online, purchase order or other terms, entered into before or after the execution of this Agreement, will inform the interpretation of this Agreement, or be or remain binding on the parties, and they shall be void. Preprinted terms in Advertiser purchase orders or other customer-generated ordering documents, or terms referenced or linked within them, will have no effect on this Agreement and are hereby rejected, regardless of whether they are signed by Taboola and/or purport to take precedence over this Agreement. In the event that any provision in this Agreement, including its Terms, as applied to any party or to any circumstance, shall be adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void, unenforceable or inoperative as a matter of law, then the same shall in no way affect any other provision in this Insertion Order, including its Terms, the application of such provision in any other circumstance or with respect to any other party, or the validity or enforceability of this Agreement as a whole. Paragraphs 6, 8-10, 3-4, and 7 of these Terms shall survive termination of this Agreement. Electronic signatures on this Agreement shall be as effective and enforceable as originals. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.
