TD may immediately suspend Company’s access or terminate the Agreement upon its reasonable belief that Company has breached or caused TD to breach any provision of this Section 3. In the event of a breach of this Section 3 that results in a termination or suspension of TD’s ability to conduct business with a third party partner (e.g., an Inventory Partner), without limiting any rights or remedies available to TD and notwithstanding any other provision in the Agreement to the contrary, TD may immediately terminate the Agreement and Company shall be liable to TD for all lost profits resulting from suspension or termination.

     
  4. PAYMENT AND TAXES.

    4.1 Credit, Invoices and Payments. Company may be subject to a credit check prior to initiation of campaigns in the Platform and from time to time. TD reserves the right to determine the amount of credit that it extends to Company at any time. Each month, TD will provide Company its invoice for all amounts owed for the previous calendar month. Unless the parties agree otherwise in writing, TD will invoice and Company will pay in US dollars. For any invoice that is not paid in full within 45 days of the invoice date, TD reserves the right to (a) charge interest of 2% per month (or the maximum allowed by law, whichever is lower), and (b) if Company does not pay an overdue invoice in full within 5 days of receiving a notice of nonpayment, suspend Services or terminate the Agreement . If Company chooses to pay its invoice via credit card, a 3% convenience fee shall be added to such amounts. All payments due under the Agreement shall be made without setoff or deduction.

    4.2 Taxes. All fees and other amounts due under the Agreement are exclusive of sales, service, use, consumption, value-added, goods-and-services, business and any similar taxes (collectively, “Transaction Taxes”). If TD is required to charge and collect Transaction Taxes under applicable law then Company shall provide to TD all information necessary for TD to issue a tax invoice to Company. In the event that TD does not charge Transaction Taxes at the time of initial invoicing but the relevant government authority determines that TD should have charged and collected such Transaction Taxes, then Company shall pay to TD said Transaction Taxes no later than 30 days from receipt of a tax invoice and notice of the determination from TD, and TD shall indemnify and hold harmless Company against any interest or penalties imposed. If Company shall at any time be required by applicable law to withhold any present or future tax, assessment or other governmental charge (“Withholding Taxes”) imposed upon any payment due under the Agreement, then Company shall timely remit any Withholding Taxes to the relevant government authority and shall promptly provide TD with documentary evidence of such remittance acceptable to TD and such assistance as TD requests to allow TD to claim a credit for such Withholding Taxes withheld. Company shall indemnify and hold harmless TD against any interest or penalties imposed for failure to timely withhold and remit such Withholding Taxes. The parties shall act reasonably and in good faith in cooperating with each other to provide relevant resale certificates, treaty certification or other exemption information and documentation as may be appropriate and on a timely basis to satisfy applicable law and governmental authorities to mitigate the imposition of Transaction Taxes and Withholding Taxes under the Agreement. Company shall notify TD if the location from which the Services are predominantly used or consumed by Company is different from Company’s country of formation or if the location of predominant use or consumption changes at any time during the Term.

    4.3 Creative Approval Fees. If creative approval is required, TD shall have the right to pass on the creative approval fee to Company.

     
  5. COUNTING. TD will have sole responsibility for calculating and reporting metrics on media or data bought and sold through the Platform and such metrics shall be used for calculating payments. TD will make such metrics available to Company through the Platform. All Company-trafficked ads will be counted as impressions. Additionally, TD will make reasonable technological and auditing efforts to ensure TD end of the month figures, Platform wide, are within 10% of the end of the month totals of Inventory Partner counts. In the event that there is a discrepancy of more than 10% between the reported cost of inventory or data, based on a calendar month, and Company and TD are unable to resolve the discrepancy, TD is responsible for the amount of the total supply discrepancy above 10%. Company will raise any discrepancies within thirty (30) days of the date of the applicable invoice. TD may update numbers if there is delay in reporting affecting month-end invoicing.

TD may use Business and Campaign Data (i) to provide the Services, (ii) internally for any other business purpose (e.g., fraud detection or financial reporting), and (iii) externally if such data is aggregated with other data such that third parties cannot attribute the data to Company (e.g., publishing industry trends on average CPMs).

    12.3 If the Platform or Services are held in a suit or proceeding to infringe any intellectual property rights of a third party and the use of such Platform or Services is enjoined, or TD reasonably believes that it is likely to be found to infringe or likely to be enjoined, then TD may, at its sole cost, expense and option, either (a) procure the right to continue using such Platform or Services, or (b) modify such Platform or Services so that it becomes non-infringing without without affecting the basic functionality of such Platform or Services; provided, however, that if (a) and (b) are not practicable, TD may, in its sole discretion, terminate the Agreement with respect to such Platform or Services by giving Company 30 days written notice, upon which termination TD shall refund the portion of any pre-payments made by Company for Services not yet rendered.

    14.2.3 If Company is required to provide any notices to TD hereunder, such notices shall be sent to the following address:

    The UK Trade Desk Ltd
    c/​o The Trade Desk Inc.
    42 N. Chestnut Street
    Ventura, CA 93001
    Attention: Chief Legal Officer
    Email: Legal@​thetradedesk.​com

    14.3 Notices to Company shall be sent to the Company Primary Contact set forth in the Agreement, to the contact information Company maintains in Company’s Platform account, or to Company’s CEO, CFO, or President. If notice is sent via email, the sending party must confirm that (x) the email was apparently sent successfully according to its ordinary technical records, (y) the sending party does not receive an error notice, and (z) the email includes in the subject line “LEGAL NOTICE”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the sending party receives an error notice because the receiving party has changed its email address without formally notifying the sending party, the email notice is deemed effective if the sending party is using the last email address provided by the other party for the express purpose of receiving notices. In that case, the sending party will attempt to reach the receiving party by phone. Company is responsible for notifying TD as soon as possible of a change in the contact information for invoicing, and failure to provide the proper information shall not delay Company’s obligations to timely pay invoices. Changes to contact information for invoicing should be submitted to: ar@​thetradedesk.​com.

    14.4 Notices must be in writing and are effective when (a) delivered personally; (b) received from a nationally-recognized next-day courier service, or © sent by email as above.

     
  15. MISCELLANEOUS.

     

    15.1 Neither party will make any public statement relating to the Agreement without the prior written approval of the other, except that TD may include Company’s name and logo in its marketing, promotional materials and customer lists.

    15.2 Unless otherwise expressly set forth in the Agreement or in a supplemental agreement, (a) all supplemental terms and conditions or ancillary agreements entered into between the parties for additional features or services will be subject to the terms of the Agreement, and (b) to the extent that the terms of a supplemental or ancillary agreement conflicts with the terms of the Agreement, the terms of the Agreement shall govern. Any additional terms beyond those in the Agreement that Company includes in an order form, insertion order, or similar document will be of no force and effect unless TD expressly agrees in writing to have such terms supersede the terms of the Agreement.

    15.3 TD reserves the right to continually evolve the Platform and its Services without notice. In the event TD chooses to discontinue the Platform, TD will provide Company with 30 days prior notice. TD will provide such notice of discontinuation when Company logs into the Platform, on the TD website or by email, and the notice shall be effective immediately.

    15.4 This is the entire agreement of the parties relating to this subject and it supersedes all other commitments, negotiations and understandings. The Agreement cannot be amended except by a writing signed by both parties. The Agreement cannot be assigned without written consent of the non-assigning party, except that either party may assign the Agreement, upon written notice to the other party, (a) to an acquirer of substantially all of that party’s assets, stock or business by sale, merger or otherwise or (b) to a corporate affiliate. Company shall provide written notice to TD if all or substantially all of Company’s assets, stock or business are the subject of an acquisition, sale or merger. If at any time during the Term (i) Company has an Affiliate that is or becomes a competitor of TD, as determined in TD’s sole discretion, or (ii) all or any portion of Company’s assets, stock or business are the subject of a direct or indirect acquisition, sale or merger with a competitor of TD, as determined in TD’s sole discretion, TD shall have the right to immediately terminate the Agreement upon written notice (email sufficing) to Company. If any provision of the Agreement is unenforceable, that provision shall be re-interpreted to be as close to the parties’ intent as legally possible and the validity of the remaining provisions will not be affected. The parties are independent contractors and there are no third party beneficiaries. Sections 3, 4 (until final payment), 6 – 8, and 10 – 15 will survive expiration or termination. Any claims (in court or arbitration) must be brought in the initiating party’s individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or member in any class action or other similar proceeding.

    15.5 A party’s failure or delay to exercise any right will not operate as a waiver, nor will any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other exercise or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

    15.6 Multiple signature pages, signatures delivered via pdf copy or fax, and electronic signatures will all constitute originals and together constitute the same instrument.

    15.7 Neither party is liable for failure or delay in performing its obligations because of causes beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, terrorism, war, riots, fire, earthquake, flood or degradation or failure of third party networks or communications infrastructure.

    15.8 Nothing in the Agreement will be construed as a binding obligation of a party until the Agreement is executed by both parties.
