Introduction

1.1 This “Master Campaign Agreement” (or “Agreement”) is between each demand side partner (hereinafter the “DSP”) and supply side partner (hereinafter the “SSP”) (each a “Party” and collectively the “Parties”) that enters into a performance marketing relationship using the Axis Platform owned and operated by Axis Corp LTD, a limited company duly registered in accordance with the laws of England and Wales, having its registered address at: Suite 7057 128 Aldersgate Street, Barbican, London, England, EC1A 4AE (hereinafter “Axis”, “We” or “Us”) and hosted from the URL, platform.axis-marketplace.com .
Schedule 1 and each “IO” (as defined below) are fully-incorporated into the terms of this Agreement. In order to use the Axis Platform DSP and SSP must scroll down, read and agree to all the terms and conditions in this Agreement by clicking-through on the button marked “Accept” below.

1.2 The Agreement is a framework agreement and does not commit either DSP or SSP to any specific terms of performance. Schedule 1 shall also apply between the Parties, and the Parties hereby expressly agree that they cannot somehow supersede or modify Schedule 1 (General Terms and Conditions).

1.3 The Parties shall agree specific terms of engagement in each individual “Insertion OrderEnum” (“IO”). IOs contain terms and conditions of the cooperation (including any and all payment obligations) between DSP and SSP and are either created using the “Insertion OrderEnum” function on the Axis Platform or agreed on between the parties independently from Axis. The IOs shall specify the “Actions” and qualifying parameters that entitle SSP to compensation from DSP (“Payouts”). Axis shall not be a party to the Agreement, Schedule 1 and/or any IOs. The terms of the IOs are strictly between DSP and SSP. Each executed Insertion OrderEnum together with the Agreement and Schedule 1 will constitute a separate contract between SSP and DSP.

Entering into Insertion Orders

2.1 Upon the execution of an IO, SSP may promote DSP in consideration for Payouts. IOs become legally enforceable rights and obligations of the Parties upon acceptance. An IO may subsequently be varied only by mutual agreement of the Parties in writing. The Parties can utilize other forms of insertion orders (or any types of contracts) by uploading their document to the Axis Platform.

2.2 SSP makes no guarantee or representation that the Services will generate any Action(s). DSP makes no guarantee or representation that SSP will be successful in earning any Payouts under any IO where the terms are contingent upon pay- for-performance.
