Pursuant to this Agreement, Adconion and you ("You" or "Member") agree to the following terms and conditions for the receipt of advertising materials ("Creatives") from advertising Customers ("Customers" or "Advertisers"). This includes the serving, tracking and reporting of each Campaign made on the Sites of the Adconion network of Sites (the "Network").2) USE POLICY
(a) Membership: Membership in the Network is subject to prior approval of Adconion. Adconion reserves the right to refuse service to any new or existing Member for any reason, in its sole discretion. Approval of membership in the Network is limited only to the specific root URLs (the "Sites") for which Member has applied for approval by Adconion. Adconion reserves the right, in its sole discretion and without liability to Adconion, to reject, omit or exclude any Member or Site for any reason at any time (including, without limitation, if a Member's text is in a foreign language), with or without notice to the Member and regardless of whether such Member or Site was previously accepted. Without limiting the foregoing, Adconion reserves the right to require potential or existing Sites to submit detailed descriptions or explanations of the Member's Site(s) or application(s) functionality and backend technology through a questionnaire or survey. Refusal to participate or answers deemed unsatisfactory constitutes grounds for nonacceptance or termination from the network. In addition, in all Sites in the Network must maintain a privacy statement acceptable to Adconion. If Member is an individual, Member must be at least 18 years of age.(b) Representation: Member represents and warrants that the Sites: (1) are owned by or licensed to Member and Member has the right to use the entire contents and subject matter contained in the Sites; (2) do not violate any law, statute, ordinance, treaty or regulation; (3) do not infringe in any manner any copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret or other intellectual property right of any third party; (4) do not breach any duty toward or rights of any person or entity including, without limitation, rights of publicity or privacy, and have not otherwise resulted in or are not likely to result in any consumer fraud, product liability, tort, breach of contract, injury, damage or harm of any kind to any person or entity; (5) are not false, deceptive or misleading; (6) are not defamatory, libelous, slanderous or threatening; and (7) are free of viruses, Trojan horses, trap doors, back doors, Easter eggs, worms, time bombs, cancelbots, "spyware" and other computer programming routines that may potentially damage, interfere with, intercept, or expropriate any system, data or personal information.

Member grants Adconion and the customer the right and license to transmit the Creatives to the Sites.
(c) Termination: Adconion reserves the right to terminate any Member's relationship with the Network at any time, with or without cause, including, without limitation, for reasons set forth in Section 2(e) below. Termination notice may be provided in person or via email, facsimile or mail (either regular mail or overnight courier) and will be effective immediately upon receipt. Upon receipt of such termination notice, Member agrees to immediately remove from the Sites any and all of Adconion's software code supplied to Member for serving Creatives from Adconion or otherwise (collectively, the "Adconion Code"). Member will be paid, in the next scheduled payment cycle following termination, all legitimate, non-fraudulently accrued, earnings due up to the time of termination.
(d) Content: Adconion reserves the absolute right to refuse to affiliate with any Member. Adconion does not accept Sites that produce or provide adult content. Adconion does not accept Sites that engage in, promote or facilitate illegal or legally questionable activities such as pirating and hacking. Adconion does not accept Sites that are: under construction, hosted by a free service, personal home pages, or do not own the domain they are under. Adconion Code shall not be used on Sites that contain forums, discussion boards, chat rooms, or any content area that is open to public updates without regulation. This Agreement is voidable by Adconion immediately if Member fails to disclose, conceals or misrepresents itself in any way. In addition, Adconion may in its sole discretion refuse to serve any Member that it deems inappropriate. To insure compliance with this Agreement, any Sites that change their content after approval for membership MUST notify Adconion of the changes in writing IMMEDIATELY. Notices should be sent to This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it
(e) Traffic: Adconion reserves the right to terminate Member's relationship with Adconion immediately should the number of Impressions delivered by Member total less than 2,500 per month, or Member's traffic falls below the threshold established by Adconion from time to time.
(f) Placement: Member shall be solely responsible for placing Creatives on the Sites, which placement shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. No Creative may be placed on any root URL not specifically approved by Adconion for membership within the Network. Banner, Leaderboard, Skyscraper, and Wide Skyscraper Creatives must be placed within 600 pixels of the top of the Webpage (above the page scroll/fold). Adconion pop-under or In-Vue windows cannot be launched from Sites that launch more than a total of two pop windows, including the Adconion pop-under or In-Vue. Skyscrapers or wide skyscrapers and half page formats cannot be placed on the same page. No Member will place ads on blank pages, on pages with no content, on top of one another, on non-approved Sites, or in such a fashion that may be deceptive to the visitor. Creatives cannot be placed in email messages. Inpage Creatives (Banners, Leaderboards, Skyscrapers, Wide Skyscrapers, Rectangles, Medium Rectangles, Half Pages) may not be placed on forums, chat rooms, and other entities that the Member does not have complete control of. InVue, Interstitial, and pop-under Creatives may be placed on forums and chat rooms.
(g) Fraud and Deception: Adconion audits every Member's traffic on a daily basis. Sites that commit fraudulent activities, including false clicks, false impressions, and incentivize clicks, will have their account permanently removed from the Network and will not be compensated for fraudulent traffic. Additionally, Adconion reserves the right to register fraudulent Sites in a global ad network fraud database, for usage by other ad networks. We have several fraud mechanisms at our disposal that will detect most forms within a few days of the initial activity. All proceeds from accounts with fraudulent activity will be refunded to Advertisers. All Creatives must be served from a Adconion server or serving location, or through a Adconion approved 3rd-partyhosted server. Stored images that are loaded from a different location will not count towards any statistic or payment. Sites agree to not artificially inflate traffic counts using a program (including scripts), device, or other means. Excessive page reloading or any other abuse of our system could result in legal action. No Member shall induce visitors to click on Creatives based on incentives, provided, however, that, with the prior written approval of Adconion, certain language may appear above or below an advertisement served by Adconion. Without limiting the foregoing, the following methods of generating visitor interest are unacceptable to Adconion and may be grounds for dismissal from the Network: use of unsolicited email or inappropriate newsgroup postings to promote your Member; auto-spawning of browsers; automatic redirecting of users; clicking on your own banners; blind text links; misleading links; or any other method that may lead to artificially high numbers of impressions or clicks.
(h) Code: Adconion Code shall not be modified without prior written consent from Adconion. Member agrees to use the Adconion Code provided by Adconion for displaying a Creative not more than ONCE per page view. Ad codes cannot be placed in email messages. Adconion Code cannot be used on Sites that contain forums, discussion boards, or chat rooms. Member cannot alter, copy, modify, take, sell, reuse, or divulge any Adconion Code, except as is necessary to partake in the Network, provided, however, with the prior written approval of Adconion, a Member may, in certain instances, modify the Adconion Code for purposes of inserting certain language pre-approved by Adconion either above or below an advertisement served by Adconion. Requests for language approval should be sent to This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it . Any modifications to Adconion Code shall be owned solely by Adconion. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Adconion grants you a world-wide, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, nonsublicensable, limited use license to use, execute, and display the Adconion Code solely for purposes of receiving and displaying the Creatives and performing your other obligations hereunder.

(a) API provides to Members the possibility to use an additional service in order to allow Video Advertising on their own platform. ADCONION offers its Members 3 different models:
