Terms and Conditions
These Armanet Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) are entered into by Armanet Holding Corp Inc. (“Armanet”) and the entity executing an Insertion Order or using the Armanet dashboard (“Customer”). These Terms govern Customer’s use of the Armanet service, and together with an Insertion Order (or the information entered through the Armanet dashboard (“Dashboard”) comprise the ” Agreement ” between Armanet and Customer. If there is any inconsistency between: (i) the terms of a signed Insertion Order or those entered through the Dashboard (either “ Campaign Details ”), and (ii) these Terms, the Campaign Details as applicable, shall prevail.
1. Services
1.1 Armanet partners with a network of online properties (the “Network”) and displays a user interface containing links that navigate to websites (the “Service”). Armanet uses its proprietary algorithms to determine what links appear within the Service on the Network.
1.2 Armanet shall display links to graphical, textual, video and/or auditory content selected by Customer (the links and the content accessed from the link together are the “Content”) on the Network through the Service. Armanet shall continue to distribute the Content on the Network until the earlier of: (i) the end date of Customer’s campaign, (ii) reaching Customer’s budget, or (iii) the disabling of a campaign (provided that Armanet reserves the right to charge for additional Actions as the Content is removed from circulation – see FAQs for more details).
1.3 Armanet does not guarantee: (i) the placement, positioning or the timing of delivery of any Content, (ii) clicks or impressions (including clicks from a particular audience segment) or (iii) conversions. If Fees (as defined in Section 5) do not reach Customer’s budget, Customer’s sole remedies shall be to: (i) extend the end date of the applicable campaign, (ii) replace or add to the Content with other Content (also subject to Section 2 below) to complete the campaign; or (iii) to pay only for accrued fees on the Content. In no event shall Armanet be liable for failure to deliver traffic to Content.
1.4 Armanet will make reports available to the Customer regarding the campaign(s). The final monthly reports (which may differ from the daily reports) will provide the conclusive basis for Armanet’s calculation of the fees owed by Customer. Customer may submit its own Armanet-compatible tracker. If there is a 10% discrepancy or more between Customer’s numbers (based on the Armanet-compatible tracker) and Armanet’s numbers then the parties agree to work in good faith to identify the correct amount to be paid to Armanet. If the discrepancy is less than 10%, Armanet’s numbers shall be conclusive.
2. Content
2.1 Customer has the right and authorizes Armanet to place the Content on the Network, and is solely responsible for determining the propriety and legality of the Content. It is the Customer’s sole responsibility to ensure that the product or service they are advertising is legal to advertise in the manner in which they are advertising within the geographies they are targeting. Furthermore, it is the sole responsibility of the Customer to include any and all disclosures required by law within the jurisdictions they are advertising in. In addition, Content selected by Customer must comply with Armanet’s Advertising Guidelines, as may be updated from time to time by Armanet. Armanet may at any time (at its sole discretion) reject or remove Content. Customer acknowledges that Armanet is not responsible for the Content and that the Content may change during the course of a campaign due to revisions by the Content’s author, comments from readers, or otherwise. Customer’s recourse in the event of such change shall be to direct Armanet to remove such Content from its then-current campaign and/or select other Content. Customer further acknowledges that, if there is an objection to the Content (whether from the content author or publisher, or otherwise) Armanet will act in accordance with Section 2 of its Terms of Use and may cease (at its sole discretion) including the Content in the Service.
2.2 Customer represents and warrants that: (i) if the Content was written by or under the direction of Customer or paid for by Customer, that fact shall be clearly disclosed on or near the Content; (ii) it is authorized to use and/or has approved all words of the Content’s headline (whether written by Customer or on Customer’s behalf); (iii) Content headlines accurately reflect the tone and subject matter of the Content; and, (iv) it is authorized to use and/or has approved any image(s) related to its campaign(s) with Armanet.
2.3 Customer shall not, directly or indirectly, provide Content that: (i) is obscene, defamatory, libelous, slanderous, pornographic, violent, profane, indecent or unlawful; (ii) is factually inaccurate, misleading or deceptive; and/or (iii) facilitates or promotes any type of illegal activity, including without limitation pyramid schemes, gambling, the sale or use of illicit drugs, or discrimination or harassment of any individual or group. Further, each piece of Customer Content shall neither (a) redirect to a destination other than as originally submitted to the Service, and/or (b) be substantively different from the Content originally submitted to the Service.
2.4 Both parties shall implement anti-malware scanning processes of the Content. Upon notice, both parties shall take immediate action to remove any suspicious Content from the Network.
3. Term and Cancellation
The Campaign Details will set forth the start and end date of a particular campaign. However, the Agreement, or an individual campaign may be suspended or terminated: (i) by Customer for any reason upon two (2) business days’ written notice to Armanet or within twelve (12) hours through the Dashboard, or (ii) by Armanet for any reason upon fourteen days (14) days’ prior written notice to Customer. During the notice period, all previously contracted campaigns shall continue to run pursuant to the Campaign Details and Customer shall be responsible for paying Armanet for all Fees accrued during such notice period. Armanet also reserves the right to suspend or terminate Customer’s use of the Service if Armanet reasonably believes Customer is in breach of the terms of this Agreement.
4. Campaign Details
If Customer utilizes Armanet’s Dashboard, Customer will have access to certain online reports and control over its campaign(s). To the extent Customer registers and has access to the Dashboard, Armanet may collect certain personal data of the Customer. We collect and process this personal data in order to respond to Customer questions or requests, provide Customers with access to certain services, verify Customer’s identity and communicate with Customers about the use of the Service. Customer is solely responsible for all changes requested or approved (either directly or via Armanet’s API), including those made through the Dashboard using its login. Customer is solely responsible for protecting its login and password to the Dashboard. Customers can manage campaigns using the Dashboard by modifying the Campaign Details, and/or Customers may have the option of working with an Armanet account manager, as determined by Armanet.
5. Fees and Payment Terms
5.1 “Fees” are based on deliverables sold via one of following payment methods: (i) cost-per-click (“CPC”), (ii) cost-per thousand impressions (“CPM”), or (iii) other desired actions agreed between the parties from time to time, each an “Action”. Customer shall pay Armanet Fees for Customer Content delivered via the Network as measured by Armanet’s tracking system, and any applicable taxes. If CPC is being used for campaign measurement, such CPC may not be less than Armanet’s then-in-effect minimum CPC (which may vary by market). If Customer is utilizing Armanet’s automatic bidding feature, Customer grants Armanet the right to set and modify Customer’s CPC at Armanet’s discretion to aid in achieving Customer’s targets for its campaign. Customer shall be solely responsible for any additional fees incurred for utilizing third party ad serving on its campaign(s). Customer may increase or decrease its budget through the Dashboard or through an amendment to an Insertion Order.
5.2 If Customer has signed an Insertion Order, Fees will generally be invoiced by Armanet to Customer by the end of the following calendar month, unless otherwise set forth in an IO. Customers shall pay all invoices within seven (7) days from receipt. Any portion of a charge not disputed in good faith must be paid in full. If Customer has provided the Campaign Details through the Dashboard or has signed an Insertion Order and has used a credit card for billing purposes, Armanet shall charge the Armanet fees (including processing fees) to Customer’s credit card at such intervals as Armanet determines in its sole discretion. The decision as to whether to allow Customer to choose between invoice and credit card rests solely with Armanet. Armanet shall review all billing inquiries, including refund requests, on a case-by-case basis and reserves the right to approve or deny any request in its sole discretion.
5.3 If Customer disputes any amount on an invoice, Customer should provide written notice to Armanet (email is sufficient) within seven (7) days of receipt of invoice. Customer’s email must include the amount disputed and provide adequate information to support any such claim. Within twenty (20) business days of receipt of Customer’s email, Armanet will investigate and provide Customer with a written response. Customer may not withhold payment for any undisputed amounts, and any portion of a charge not disputed in good faith within thirty (30) days from receipt of invoice must be paid in full.
5.4 If payment is not made when due and not properly disputed pursuant to Section 5.3, Armanet may charge interest at the rate of 6% per annum from the due date until the date of actual payment, whether before or after judgment. Armanet also reserves the right to suspend or terminate Customer’s use of the Service until Customer has paid all amounts due and to charge Customer for all costs of collection, including collection agency and reasonable legal fees and court costs. Customer authorizes Armanet to investigate Customer’s credit record. If applicable, Customer agrees to provide such further financial information and documentation as may be required from time to time by Armanet as a condition for the continued extension of credit. Customer acknowledges and agrees that any account, credit card and related billing and payment information which Customer provides to Armanet may be shared by Armanet with companies who work on Armanet’s behalf solely for the purpose of performing credit checks, effecting payment to Armanet, collecting debts owed to Armanet and/or servicing Customer’s account. Armanet may, in its sole discretion, extend, revise or revoke credit at any time.
6. Additional Features and Terms
6.1 Armanet may also make additional Service features available to Customer from time to time and use of such features may be subject to Customer’s agreement to certain additional terms and conditions (“Additional Terms”) (e.g., via an online click-through agreement or via the Dashboard). Such features will be provided at Armanet’s discretion to Customer and may include fees in addition to those described in Section 5.1. Customer’s acceptance of the Additional Terms will constitute a binding and enforceable agreement as between Armanet and Customer.

6.2 Subject to Customer’s compliance with Section 8 below, Customer may place (i) Armanet pixel(s) (the “Armanet Pixel”) on Customer’s website or application pages and/or (ii) third party pixels or tags (“the “Third Party Pixels”) for the purpose of providing analytics related to Customer’s campaign and/or enhanced targeting functionality (the Armanet Pixel and Third Party Pixels together are the “Pixels”).
