TERMS OF SERVICE

Agreement
The Terms of Service and Conditions found below (the "Agreement") shall govern the website owner's/operator's (the "Publisher") participation in the ROI Matrix Network (the "Program") that is offered by ROI MATRIX, LLC (ROI Matrix), a New York limited liability company. Publisher accepts the terms and conditions of this Agreement and thereby enters into a legally binding contract with ROI Matrix upon checking the "I Agree" checkbox and submitting the new Publisher application form. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the state of New York, and in the event of a dispute, Publisher agrees to submit to the jurisdiction of the state courts located in Kings County, New York. 

Responsibilities
Publisher shall include codes provided by ROI Matrix to enable the display of advertisement materials to visitors of Publisher's site. Publisher shall not modify the codes or Intellectual Property, which is herein licensed to Publisher. Publisher is solely responsible for the creation and maintenance of its own web site and for all content that appears on Publisher's web site. Publisher may not issue any press release or other public statements regarding this Agreement without ROI Matrix's prior written consent. 

Application Process
Publisher must complete the application in full and keep contact information current once in the Program. Although Publisher may not have more than one account with the Program, multiple sites are allowed per account, and can be added, subject to approval, throughout the span of this Agreement's term. ROI Matrix holds the right to reject any applicant for any reason whatsoever. Publisher's acceptance into the Program shall be evidenced by an 'acceptance e-mail' clearly notifying the Publisher party of its application approval and providing further instructions relating to Publisher's participation in the Program. Only approved applicants are permitted participation in the Program and be allowed to use materials offered by the Program. 

Term and Termination
The term of this Agreement (the "Term") will commence on the date ROI Matrix accepts and approves Publisher's completed application and will remain in full force and effect until terminated pursuant to this paragraph. All of the terms and conditions contained herein must be adhered to and are legally binding immediately upon agreement. ROI Matrix reserves the right to terminate this agreement, remove any advertisements and offers and/or terminate Publisher's access to the Program site at its sole discretion for any reason whatsoever and without notice. However, Publisher must notify ROI Matrix fourteen (14) days in advance, in writing or via e-mail, of its intentions to terminate Agreement. Publisher is obligated to fulfill any advertising campaign configured to run on its site in its entirety prior to termination with the Program. Publisher's inability to comply with any said terms of this Agreement will forfeit any unpaid earnings due to Publisher and result in immediate termination of Publisher's participation in the Program. Further legal course of action may be considered to prosecute violating Publishers. 

Payment
ROI Matrix will make all payments to Publisher in US Dollars based on predefined action by advertiser (per CPA) whereby Publisher will receive a net amount per specific action that originates from Publisher's account as determined by ROI Matrix and may account for bad-debt collection costs, campaign referral fees and ad-serving expenses. Payments will generally be made within forty-five (45) business days after the billing cycle to all Publishers who reach a minimum level of fifty ($50.00) dollars for all commissions earned under this Agreement less international mailing fees (for Publishers outside the United States) and less any amount ROI Matrix determines, in its sole discretion, was not validly earned from proper use of the ROI Matrix codes on Publisher's site. Commissions earned during any calendar month that are less than fifty ($50.00) dollars, at ROI Matrix's sole discretion, shall be carried over to the next billing period.
Publisher is responsible to pay all taxes on the monies earned through the Program. ROI Matrix must receive a W9 form containing the unique tax id number of a US based Publisher, and an appropriate tax form from an international Publisher before a payment to Publisher can be made. ROI Matrix will not pay for any Actions, leads, clicks or events that occur before an offer is initiated, or after the offer terminates. In the event ROI Matrix has not received full payment for actions delivered to advertiser, ROI Matrix may delay commission payment due to Publisher on such portion until 30 days after ROI Matrix collects such full portion. 

Referral Program
ROI Matrix agrees to pay Publisher three percent (3%) of net moneys earned by referrals that are accepted into the Program during the term of this Agreement. Publisher may not refer self or properties that are owned or operated by self. All Publisher referral earnings will be paid in accordance with the payment terms described herein. 

Ad-Defaults
In the case where ROI Matrix may not be in a position to provide Publisher with paying ad offers, free default ads will be shown. Publisher party has an option to define and upload its own free default creatives to be shown in cases where paid ads inventory would be unavailable. Publisher-defined default ads must conform to limitations and guidelines specified in the "Representation and warranties" section of this Agreement. ROI Matrix makes no guarantees as to a constant, fixed or any minimum provision of paid offers to any Publisher's site. 

Reporting
ROI Matrix will be solely responsible for determining Publisher's earnings, impressions, actions, leads and click-through numbers. Publisher will be granted access to statistics reports via the Program site. ROI Matrix shall have the right to review such records, including but not limited to log files and all referring pages, upon request to Publisher. 

License
ROI Matrix hereby grants to Publisher a non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, display, transmit, and redistribute ROI Matrix's offers, codes and tags (the "Materials"). In no event is the Publisher permitted to modify or alter ROI Matrix's Materials without prior written consent from ROI Matrix. Permission to use ROI Matrix's Materials is subject to change at any time deemed appropriate by ROI Matrix and Publisher agrees to comply with all guidelines for usage of ROI Matrix Trademarks that may be provided by ROI Matrix from time to time. Expiration of the Term or any other termination of this Agreement will immediately nullify and void all license privileges granted to Publisher by ROI Matrix. Publisher hereby grants ROI Matrix a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use and display Publisher's trademarks, service marks and logos during the Term of this Agreement. Expiration of the Term or any other termination of this Agreement will immediately nullify and void all license privileges granted to ROI Matrix by Publisher. 

Actions/Traffic Standards
Publisher may not in any way use SPAM, ICQ, message boards, or any artificial or incentive techniques to drive traffic to the Publisher's site or complete actions or offers, nor may the Publisher modify the code provided by ROI Matrix to display or use the ad materials or the code of other Publishers. Publisher may not drive non-human traffic, fraudulently add leads or clicks, inflate leads or clicks via fraudulent traffic (as determined solely by ROI Matrix) or generate such Actions or Traffic by using scripts, programs, auto-bots or by any other such means whatsoever, as this constitutes the artificial inflation of Actions or Traffic. Pre-filling of forms is expressly forbidden except when ROI Matrix grants Publisher permission to employ such method in case of certain co-registration offers. Any artificial inflation of Actions or Traffic directly harms advertisers and is treated as FRAUD and THEFT OF FUNDS. ROI Matrix reserves the right to prosecute any Publisher, found to be artificially inflating Actions or Traffic, to the fullest extent of the law.
Publisher is to make all efforts in ensuring that no artificial inflation of Actions or Traffic stems from Publisher's site or account. It is Publisher's responsibility to notify ROI Matrix promptly if there is reason to believe that Publisher's Actions or Traffic are being artificially inflated. Earnings from artificial Actions/Traffic or Actions/Traffic that ROI Matrix determines, in its sole discretion, to be of generally low quality may be deducted from Publisher's earnings.

The entire website and all its referring pages must be written entirely in English.
ROI Matrix has the sole right in determining the validity of each Action, including but not limited to: lead, click and page impression. Invalid Actions will not be paid for. Failure to comply with the Action/Traffic standards will result in termination of Publisher's participation in the ROI Matrix Program and in the forfeiture of all monies owed to Publisher by ROI Matrix. If Publisher fails to take prompt action to stop fraudulent activities after being notified by ROI Matrix that such activities are occurring through Publisher's site or account, then, in addition to any other remedies available to ROI Matrix, 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, ROI Matrix reserves the right to seek credit or remedy from future earnings or to demand re-imbursement from Publisher. 

Indemnification
Publisher will defend and indemnify ROI Matrix and its successors from and against all third party claims, suits and proceedings and any and all damages, liabilities costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) arising from the operation of Publisher's site. ROI Matrix gives Publisher control of the defense and settlement of the claim. However, no settlement may be entered into which would adversely affect ROI Matrix. The provisions of this section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, THIS SECTION SHALL NOT LIMIT PUBLISHER'S LIABILITY TO ROI MATRIX FOR WILLFUL AND MALICIOUS MISCONDUCT, BREACH OF CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS, OR FULFILLMENT OF ANY INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER.
