Affiliate Terms & Conditions
Pursuant to this Agreement, CX Digital Media Inc. and
Publisher shall agree to the following terms and conditions
for the receipt of advertising materials ("Creative")
from advertising Customers ("Customers"). This includes
the serving, tracking and reporting of each Campaign made
on the CX Digital Media Affiliate Network (the "Network")
to Publisher Websites ("Websites").
DEFINITIONS:
CX Digital Media's CPC program offers websites the opportunity
to generate revenue based on the cost-per-click (“CPC”)
advertising model. A click is counted when a unique visitor
to a Publisher's website clicks on an advertisement.
CX Digital Media offers websites the ability to receive payment
on a cost-per-thousand (“CPM”) structure. The
Publisher is paid a fractional amount when a banner is shown
to a visitor. Banner views are aggregated on into groups of
one thousand impressions and payments are calculated for each
one thousand banners shown.
- Cost Per Acquisition (“CPA”)
CX Digital Media's CPA program offers websites the opportunity
to generate revenue based upon customer interaction with advertisements
on their website which lead to an acquisition. An acquisition
is deemed complete when a customer clicks through a banner/advertisement
or email solicitation and completes an action as defined by
the client. The greater the amount of information requested
by the client generally dictates a higher payout to the Publisher.
CX Digital Media's CPL program enables Publishers to add promotional
features to their websites as approved by CX Digital Media,
and to send data to CX Digital Media for which the Publisher
will be eligible for compensation in accordance with, and
subject to, this Agreement.

change their content after approval for membership MUST notify

8. Spam Indemnification:

Indemnified Parties” or “VCIP”), harmless
from all allegations, claims, actions, causes of action, lawsuits,
damages, liabilities, obligations, costs and expenses (including
without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees, costs related

9. Spamming:
Publisher warrants that it will not send any commercial email
to any person who has requested not to receive email from
the Publisher and/or Advertiser and that they are in full
compliance with the Can-Spam Act. Publisher also understands
that upon doing so it automatically forfeits the right and
claim to any revenue generated for its account, and Publisher's
account will be immediately terminated. Publisher further
agrees that all of Publisher's business will be in compliance
with all local, State, and Federal anti-spam policies and
all other applicable laws. 
10. Reselling Data/Campaigns:
Publisher agrees not to broker or resell any campaigns or
creative materials from CX Digital Media's Advertisers, or Agencies
to any other party without express written permission from
CX Digital Media. Publisher also understands that upon doing
so, it automatically forfeits the right and claim to any revenue
generated for its account, and its account will be immediately
terminated. Breach of this provision will cause Publisher
and its web property to be liable for all damages related
to such breach.
11. Fraud and Deception:
CXDigital.com audits every Publisher's traffic on a
daily basis. Publishers that produce commit fraudulent activities,
including false clicks, false impressions, and incentivised
clicks (that have not been previously authorized in writing),
will have their account permanently removed from our network
and will not be compensated for fraudulent traffic. If fraud
is suspected or detected, Publisher’s account will be
made inactive pending further investigation.
Publisher accounts are flagged that:
- Have click-through rates that are much higher than industry
averages and where solid justification is not evident to
the reasonable satisfaction of CX Digital Media;
- Have ONLY click programs generating clicks with no indication
by site traffic that it can sustain the clicks reported;
- Have shown fraudulent leads as determined by the Advertisers;
- Have much higher conversions per click rates than industry
averages and where solid justification is not evident to
the reasonable satisfaction of CX Digital Media; or
- Use fake redirects, automated software, and/or fraud to
generate Events from the Programs.
If Publisher fraudulently adds leads or clicks or inflates
leads or clicks by fraudulent traffic generation (such as
pre- population of forms or mechanisms not approved by CX Digital Media or use of sites in co-registration campaigns that
have not been approved by CX Digital Media), as determined solely
by CX Digital Media, Publisher will forfeit its entire commission
for all programs and its account will be terminated. If Publisher
is notified that fraudulent activities may be occurring on
its Media, and Publisher fails to take prompt action to stop
the fraudulent activities, then, in addition to any other
remedies available to CX Digital Media, Publisher shall be responsible
for all costs and legal fees arising from these fraudulent
activities. In addition, in the event that Publisher has already
received payment for fraudulent activities, CX Digital Media
reserves the right to seek credit or remedy from future earnings
or to demand re-imbursement from Publisher. 
12. Code:
CXDigital.com ad codes must not be modified from
original format without consent from CXDigital.com. Publisher
agrees to use the ad code provided for displaying Creative
not more than ONCE per page view. Ad codes cannot be placed
in email messages. CXDigital.com ad codes can not be
used on Webpages that contain forums, discussion boards, or
chat rooms. Publisher can not alter, copy, modify, take, sell,
reuse, or divulge any CXDigital.com computer code, except
as is necessary to partake in the CXDigital.com Network,
provided, however, with the prior approval of CXDigital.com,
a Publisher may, in certain instances, modify the CXDigital.com computer code for purposes of inserting certain
pre-approved language above or below an advertisement served
by CXDigital.com. Requests for language approval should
be sent to Admin@CXDigital.com.
13. Data Reporting (Stats):
CXDigital.com is the sole owner of all website, campaign,
and aggregate web user data collected by CXDigital.com.
Publisher only has access to campaign data that is collected
through the use of their inventory. Customers only have access
to website and web user data that is collected as part of
Customer's campaign.
14. Scrubbing Leads:
Each Program shall have its own criteria for determining
the validity of a lead (the “Lead Requirements”),
which shall be detailed in the section entitled "Special
Terms" included in the on-site offer summary and the
offer-specific instructions emailed by an CX Digital Media Account
Executive. CX Digital Media shall only pay for net or billable
leads (“Billable Leads”), which are determined
by taking the gross leads from a Program and deducting Invalid
Leads and Returned Leads. “Invalid Leads” are
those leads that do not meet the Lead Requirements. Examples
include, but are not limited to, leads that are missing data,
do not meet filter requirements, are incorrectly formatted
or do not meet certain phone, email and CASS (postal address)
validations. “Returned Leads” are those that have
met the Lead Requirements, but are rejected due to inaccurate
data or the inability to verify user information. Examples
include, but are not limited to, leads for which the registrant
is not at the phone number or address submitted, "unsubscribes"
prior to being contacted, is on the "Do Not Call List",
replies with "Did Not Request This Information"
or the lead is a duplicate in the Advertiser's database. The
CX Digital Media proprietary lead processing system is responsible
for detecting and tracking Invalid Leads. The Advertiser is
generally responsible for detecting and tracking Returned
Leads. Billable Leads will generally be determined by the
10th of the subsequent month and will be displayed on the
CX Digital Media site when available. Accordingly, any statistics
regarding Billable Leads appearing on the Site during the
month in which the Program is running are preliminary and
are subject to adjustment as provided herein.
15. Use of Leads:
Publisher hereby acknowledges that the collection of the
Leads is being done solely for the benefit of CX Digital Media
or its Advertiser. Therefore, other than providing the Leads
to CX Digital Media for delivery to the Advertisers, Publisher
may not use, sell, transfer or assign or attempt to monetize
the Leads for its own purposes. All right, title and interest
in the Leads shall vest exclusively in CX Digital Media or its
Advertisers.
16. Contact Information:
To insure timely payment, Publishers are responsible for
maintaining the correct contact and payment information associated
with their account. Payment Profile information must be updated
by the last day of the month to be reflected in the next payment.
This must be done online using the Publisher's account. Any
and all bank/service fees associated with returned or cancelled
payments due to any error in the Publisher contact or payment
information are Publisher's responsibility, and will be deducted
from re-payment.
17. Relationship of Parties:
For purposes of this Agreement, each party shall be and act
as an independent contractor. This Agreement does not constitute,
create, or give effect to any employer/employee or franchiser/franchisee
