Subject to Publisher’s compliance with all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Publisher will be entitled to receive a payment based upon GumGum’s measurements of the revenue that GumGum receives from Served Ads.
Publisher acknowledges and agrees that the number of impressions and clicks relating to Served Ads, used in calculating amounts payable to Publisher, shall be tracked and based solely on GumGum’s data and measurements. GumGum shall provide Publisher with automated and online access to statistics, metrics and data required to calculate the impressions, clicks and any other date necessary to determine the payments due to Publisher, and Publisher reserves the right to dispute determinations made by GumGum in connection with the amounts due to Publisher, including in connection with calculations of impressions or clicks; provided, however, if the difference between GumGum’s and Publisher’s measurements differ by more than ten percent (10%), the parties shall amicably resolve such discrepancy in good faith.
GumGum will send payments to Publisher within sixty (60) days after the last day of each month that Served Ads are placed on Publisher Websites if Publisher’s earned balance is $50 or more.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, GumGum shall have no payment obligation to Publisher with respect to any Served Ads that GumGum does not receive any revenue.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, GumGum shall not be liable for any payment based on: (a) any amounts which result from invalid impressions of Served Ads generated by any person, bot, automated program or similar device, as reasonably determined by GumGum including, without limitation, through any impressions (i) originating from Publisher’s IP addresses or computers under Publisher’s control; or (ii) solicited by payment of money, false representation, or any illegal or otherwise invalid request for end users to view Served Ads; (b) Served Ads delivered to end users whose browsers have JavaScript disabled; or (c) impressions resulting from any breach of this Agreement by Publisher for any applicable pay period.

If Publisher disputes the amount of any payment made under this Agreement, Publisher must notify GumGum in writing of such payment dispute within ninety (90) days following the date such payment was received; failure to timely notify GumGum of a payment dispute shall result in Publisher’s waiver of any claim relating to payable amounts corresponding to the Served Ads for which the disputed payment was made. Amounts payable by GumGum hereunder shall be calculated solely based on data and records maintained by GumGum. No other data, measurements or statistics of any kind shall be accepted by GumGum or have any effect under this Agreement.

Upon any termination of this Agreement, Publisher shall promptly remove the GumGum Technology from all Publisher Websites and GumGum shall have no further obligation to provide GumGum Ad Services. Furthermore, GumGum will perform a final accounting of amounts payable to Publisher hereunder and, subject to GumGum’s right to offset the earned balance of amounts due to Publisher against paid amounts determined by GumGum to be in error or the result of fraud or any act by, or at the direction of Publisher, in violation of this Agreement, GumGum will pay the earned balance of amounts due to Publisher hereunder within approximately ninety (90) days following the last day of the month in which this Agreement is terminated.
