In addition to these Services, other Adform and third-party vendor Services may be made available to the Client from time to time (“Additional Services”). These Additional Services will be available through the Adform Platform and will be subject to either (i) dedicated pricing as indicated in the Adform Platform UI; or (ii) such pricing as is separately agreed with the Client (whether under an IO or otherwise). The Client shall pay all fees for Additional Services (including any Additional Services the Client buys directly from the third-party vendor(s)) according to payment terms stated in the Agreement. Where such Additional Services are provided by a third-party vendor, the Client agrees that the validity and accuracy of the usage reports for such Additional Services and all related inquiries and disputes regarding the invoicing will be handled by the third-party vendor.

3.2.1. AVOC Optimization Algorithm Services

AVOC Optimization Algorithm Services allow the Client to maximize video ad impact, by driving a high quality of video ad completions, where quality is determined by the sequence of viewable events leading up to an ad completion, together with the audibility of the corresponding impression. The algorithm considers multiple factors (completion, quartiles, viewability, audibility) and assigns higher weights to viewable events closer to completion. For example, the AVOC metric (Audible and Viewable on Completion) carries the highest weight, as it factors in the video completion event when it is viewable and audible.

3.2.2. Client Support Services

Client Support is provided on-line and/or telephone for the Adform Platform related inquiries. Support is provided in the English language and the contacts can be found on http://site.adform.com/support/client-support/.

A live testing environment shall be provided by the Client and/or publisher (either web or in-app) in order for the quality assurance/testing process to be completed.

(vi) Creative Production Service Fees. At the point of acceptance of the Client’s order for Creative Production Adform shall specify the currency, the price for Creative Production and other pricing details.

Should the above-provided limits be exceeded during the calendar month, Adform may in its sole discretion limit (by not processing additional Data Events) and/or suspend the Client’s use of the DSP Audience Data Connector Service partially or in full until the end of respective calendar month. Adform may also in its sole discretion choose to remove audiences from DSP Audience Data Connector which are not in active use or have not been actively used in the past ninety (90) days.

(b) If the Client has also ordered DMP Services under an IO or a separate agreement, this section 3.2.6 will not apply and the importing of any audiences into the Adform Platform will be governed by the terms and conditions applicable to such DMP Services.

(ii) Cookieless tracking which allows the Client to collect measurement data in respect of its digital activity, as needed to determine effectiveness and drive further improvements in performance and reaching target users, especially across mobile devices, while upholding user privacy and choice through aggregation and anonymization.

Upon the Client’s request, this Service can be disabled for specific advertisers on Third-Party Ad Serving (“TPAS”).

3.2.10. ID Fusion Services

Upon termination or expiry of the Agreement, Adform will return the unspent remainder of any prepayment amount to the Client within fourteen (14) days. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Adform terminates the Agreement due to the Client's material breach of the Agreement, the remainder of the prepayment will not be returnable to the Client.

3.3.4. During the term of the Agreement, the Client shall pay a Minimum Service Fee. This Minimum Service Fee is charged once per Period of Invoicing as set out in the IO. If at the end of a Period of Invoicing, the total spent amount on the Services is lower than the total amount of Minimum Service Fee for a Period of Invoicing, Adform will issue an additional invoice for the amount equal to the difference between Minimum Service Fee and the total spent amount for a Period of Invoicing. The total spent amount for the purposes of this calculation is based on amounts invoiced during the Period of Invoicing and not from the period when the relevant Services were utilized. Media Costs, Creative Approval Fees and other recharged services fees and costs are excluded from the total spent amount calculation for the purposes of assessing whether the Minimum Service Fee has been met. Should the Agreement be terminated by Adform due to the Client’s material breach of the Agreement, or by the Client in violation of the termination clause, Adform shall be entitled to the committed Minimum Service Fee for the entire term of the Agreement.

3.3.5. Fees are calculated by using one or more of the following calculation methods (with the applicable calculation for any given Service being set out within the applicable IO):

(a) CPM (Thousand Impressions) based fees are calculated for every thousand (1,000) impressions tracked on advertising inventory on advertising campaigns. CPM based fees indication example:

(b) CPC (Click) based fees are calculated for each click on a served digital ad. For clarification, clicks counted will include pay per click (PPC) clicks that are tracked but not managed through the Adform Platform. CPC based fees indication example:

Units

Budget based fees indication example:

(e) Hourly fees charged per hour are calculated by rounding up the total amount of time spent in a calendar period to the nearest half an hour and multiplying it by the chargeable rate per hour as set out in the IO.

3.3.6. If there are CPM or CPC based and Percentage of Budget fees set out in the IO for the same Service, Adform will charge the Client in accordance with the Percentage of Budget fees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in case of TPAS on non-programmatic campaigns, if the Client fails to specify the budget on a certain campaign until the end of the campaign, Adform will invoice the respective campaign and the Services provided according to CPM or CPC pricing starting from the beginning until the end of the respective campaign.

3.3.7. If applicable fees depend on the weight of the digital ad, irrespective of digital ad type used (e.g., standard, rich media, HTML5) the Adform Platform calculates digital ad weight to identify the price per impression to be applied according to the pricing set out in the IO If fees depend on digital ad type used, the Adform Platform calculates RM fees per impression to be applied according to Adform’s pricing as set out on the rate card provided to the Client or in the IO.

3.3.8. A PO number will be indicated in the invoices if (i) the box in the IO is checked “Yes” and (ii) PO number is directly entered in the Adform Platform. If the box in the IO is checked “No” and/or it is not checked, Client agrees that a PO number is not required to be indicated in the invoices. Failure to provide Adform with the correct PO number or not providing a PO number in the Adform Platform does not relieve the Client from its obligation to pay applicable invoices.
