You acknowledge that RankingCo does not operate or control the Publishers – with the exception of its own online directory or other properties owned or operated by RankingCo or its affiliates (the "RankingCo Properties"). You further acknowledge that at any time during a campaign, the Publisher mix may change and that RankingCo makes no guarantees about when or where the Ads will be displayed by the Publishers or by RankingCo.

While RankingCo will use your Facebook account in connection with this service, you will continue to be bound by Facebook’s relevant terms and conditions, including without limitation its relevant ad policies at https://www.facebook.com/policies/ads, which, among other things, reserve Facebook’s right to reject or remove ads in Facebook’s sole discretion. All content that will be posted on Facebook as part of this service will comply with RankingCo’s content guidelines, and you hereby approve RankingCo to disseminate such content, unless otherwise directed by you in writing. RankingCo cannot control and is not responsible for the policies of any third-party Publisher, such as Facebook, or for any alteration, enforcement or interpretation thereof.

16. Campaign Logistics.

16.1 Duration. Upon receipt of your signed Order Form, RankingCo will initiate the process of setting up your campaign. The duration of the campaign (the "Campaign Period") shall run from the Actual Start Date of the campaign, unless earlier terminated by the parties. The "Actual Start Date" refers to the actual commencement date of a campaign. You acknowledge that RankingCo may take up to ten (10) business days or longer to review and prepare the campaign (or longer, if RankingCo has been asked to provide creative services or if RankingCo experiences technical difficulties with your campaign) and may require further input from you before distributing your campaign to the Publishers. The Publishers may then take additional time to initiate the campaign. Accordingly, the Actual Start Date will generally be later than the Estimated Start Date specified on the Order Form. The "Actual End Date" of a campaign will be the day when 98% or more of the Campaign Budget (as defined below) for the last Campaign Cycle has been exhausted. You acknowledge that it may take more or less time to exhaust the Campaign Budget due to, among other things, the scheduling and inventory constraints of the Publishers.

16.2 Campaign Cycles. Each Campaign Period consists of Campaign Cycles. For Media Products, each "Campaign Cycle" is the period of time from RankingCo's commencement of applying the Campaign Budget until such time as no less than 98% of the Campaign Budget has been utilized. While, on average, this is approximately a 30-day period, RankingCo makes no guarantees with respect to the time it takes to utilize the Campaign Budget. You acknowledge that all statistics provided by RankingCo evidencing such utilization shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes of the Agreement.

 

17. Advertising Content/Keywords.

17.1 Ad Content. You will deliver all content required for any Ad to RankingCo. If such content does not conform to RankingCo's or any Publisher's specifications, then RankingCo or the Publisher may, in its sole discretion, reject such Ad or modify it to meet Publisher or other technical requirements or to address campaign performance issues. If an Ad is rejected, RankingCo will ask you to provide another Ad. If RankingCo is unable to procure an Ad that satisfies the necessary requirement, RankingCo will then refund to you any applicable amounts paid in advance. You acknowledge that you may be limited in your ability to make further modifications to your Ads after they have been delivered to RankingCo. The acceptance of an Ad does not constitute approval or endorsement of the Ad by RankingCo or by any Publisher.

17.2 Keywords. With respect to Search Marketing, RankingCo shall have discretion to select the individual words or phrases ("Keywords") to be used in connection with the campaign. You may also request the use of certain Keywords. While RankingCo will use reasonable efforts to use these Keywords, RankingCo makes no guarantees that all such Keywords will be used. To the extent that RankingCo uses Keywords of its choosing, it shall be under no obligation to disclose such Keywords to you. To the extent that you elect to use Keywords that include the names of your competitors or trademarked terms ("Competitor Keywords"), you do so at your own risk and acknowledge and agree that you bear all liability associated with such action. Without limiting the foregoing, you further acknowledge that RankingCo may, at any time and in its sole discretion, remove Competitor Keywords, but will not have the obligation to do so. In addition, if you or your business is regulated by any professional, governmental or other regulatory rules or guidelines restricting your use of advertising, it is your sole responsibility to notify RankingCo and ensure compliance.

 

18. Optimized Mobile Landing Page. 

In order to optimize your media campaign, RankingCo may provide you, for no additional charge, with an optimized mobile landing page (the "Mobile Landing Page"), which will be displayed if a consumer, using a mobile cell phone or smart phone (not a tablet), visits your site as the result of the campaign. If applicable, the Mobile Landing Page will be drawn from your native web site, including, without limitation, trademarks and service marks on your site (the "Web Content"), as determined by RankingCo in its sole discretion, and will be hosted by a third party selected by RankingCo in its sole discretion. The Mobile Landing Page will not include any secure pages. In order to effectuate the foregoing, you grant RankingCo a non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, worldwide license to use, reproduce, publish, display, distribute, extract and modify the Advertiser Content solely in connection with the performance of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement. YOU RETAIN EXCLUSIVE OWNERSHIP AND ALL RIGHT, TITLE AND INTEREST IN AND TO ALL THE WEB CONTENT. The format and look and feel of the Mobile Landing Page shall be owned RankingCo or its third party providers. You will not
