Effective Date: 08 June 2019
Last Modified Date: 26 June 2020
ADVERTISER AGREEMENT

This agreement (the “Agreement”) is made by and between the operator of the network of websites listed below (hereinafter referred to as the “Company”) and the person or entity accepting this Agreement (hereinafter referred to as “Advertiser”) as of the date set on which acceptance of this Agreement occurs.

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, Company may be or is engaged in, among other things, providing online services permitting Advertisers to submit and/or publish adult entertainer information, advertisements, and content on one or more owned or not owned, or affiliated, via contract or otherwise, websites, portals, networks, and other paper and electronic outlets including, without limitation, DatingPornstar.com (collectively, the “Company Network”);

WHEREAS, if Advertiser is an individual commercial business seeking to promote Advertiser’s own individual services, Advertiser wishes to promote and advertise such personal services by submitting photographs, descriptions, text and other content and information relating to Advertiser on one or more of the outlets on the Company Network and elsewhere, whether through the classified listings, banners, and/or links; and

WHEREAS, if Advertiser is a corporate entity, or individual commercial business seeking to promote the services of others, Advertiser wishes to establish an account with the Company for the purpose of promoting the services of third parties by submitting photographs, descriptions, text and other content and information about the adult entertainers whom Advertiser employs or represents for posting on one or more of the outlets on the Company Network and elsewhere, whether through the classified listings, banners, and/or links; and

WHEREAS, subject to Advertiser’s strict compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Advertiser may submit and post Advertiser’s supplied images and content on one or more of the outlets on the Company Network or utilize such other service as the Company may make available to Advertiser from time to time;

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and agreements hereunder contained and for good and valuable consideration, the adequacy and sufficiency of which is acknowledged, the parties, each intending to be legally bound hereby, do promise and agree as follows:

1. Acceptance and Modification of this Agreement

1.1 By becoming an Advertiser for this Site, Advertiser agrees to all terms and conditions within this Agreement. Advertiser may not pick and choose those terms which apply to Advertiser. If Advertiser does not agree with all of the provisions of this Agreement, Advertiser must cease all access to, and use of, the Site and any other services provided by the Company. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to create any enforcement rights by third parties.

1.2 Nobody is authorized to access the Website or use the Services unless they have accepted this Agreement. Such acceptance does not need to be through a physical signature, since electronic acceptance of this Agreement is permitted by law. Advertiser manifests acceptance of this contractual Agreement by taking any act demonstrating assent thereto. Examples of such acts include typing Advertiser’s name in a signature field, checking a box or clicking a button containing the words “I agree”, “continue”, or some similar syntax. Advertiser understands that this has the same legal effect as Advertiser’s placing a physical signature on any other legal contract. If Advertiser fails to do take such act, Advertiser is still bound by the terms of this Agreement by virtue of Advertiser’s accessing any portion of the Company’s Website or services. If Advertiser clicks any link, button, or other device provided to Advertiser in any part of Company’s Website’s interface, then Advertiser has legally agreed to all of the terms and conditions contained herein. Additionally, by using the Website or services in any manner, including uploading Content (as defined below) to the Website, Advertiser understands and agrees that Company will consider such use as Advertiser’s affirmation of Advertiser’s complete and unconditional acceptance to all of the terms in this Agreement.

1.3 From time to time, Company may revise this Agreement. Company reserves the right to do so, and Advertiser agrees that Company has this right. Advertiser agrees that all modifications or changes to this Agreement are in force and enforceable immediately upon posting and will apply to all content and information submitted to and/or retained by Company. Any updated or edited version supersedes any prior versions immediately upon posting, and the prior version is of no continuing legal effect unless the revised version specifically refers to the prior version and keeps the prior version or portions thereof in effect. As a specific exception to the foregoing, no update or change to this Agreement will affect the financial obligations owed by the Advertiser to the Company, which will exclusively be governed under the version of this Agreement published when the Advertiser posted Advertiser’s Content. Company agrees that if it changes anything in this Agreement, Company will change the “last modified date” at the top of this Agreement so that it is immediately obvious that Company has updated the Agreement. Advertiser agrees to periodically re-visit this web page, and to use the “refresh” button on Advertiser’s browser when doing so. Advertiser agrees to note the date of the last revision to this Agreement. If the “last modified date” remains unchanged from the last time Advertiser reviewed this Agreement, then Advertiser may presume that nothing in the Agreement has been changed since the last time Advertiser read it. If the “last modified date” has changed, then Advertiser can be certain that something in the Agreement has been changed, and that Advertiser needs to re-review it in order to determine how Advertiser’s rights and responsibilities may have been affected by the revisions. In the event any court deems acceptance of a modification to this Agreement to be ineffective for any reason, the parties intend for the most recent, previously-accepted version of the Agreement to be enforced.

Waiver – By failing to periodically review this Agreement to determine if any of the terms have changed, Advertiser assumes all responsibility for such failure and Advertiser agrees such failure amounts to Advertiser’s affirmative waiver of Advertiser’s right to review the amended terms. Company is not responsible for Advertiser’s neglect of Advertiser’s legal rights.

2. Content, Payments, Refunds, and Accounts

2.1 Posting of Content. Subject to payment of all fees and Company’s approval of Advertiser’s account registration request, Advertiser may submit advertising content for posting on the Company Network. “Content” is defined as any of Advertiser’s content, materials, information, visual images, photos, video, graphics, text material, website and social media links, stage name(s), character, persona, biographical data, and contact information). Publication of Content is subject to Advertiser’s strict compliance with Company’s publishing guidelines, photo review policies, and compliance with this Agreement, including but not limited to the following:

2.2 If the Advertiser is subject to federal and state law in the United States, Advertiser warrants and agrees that all Content submitted and/or posted by Advertiser shall have been produced in accordance with all applicable provisions of United States law, including but not limited to Title 18, U.S.C. §§2256, 2257 & 2258A et seq. and 28 CFR Part 75 et seq., as amended, (“Section 2257”) as well as all other applicable federal, state, local, provincial, and foreign laws or regulations.

2.3 Advertiser further warrants and agrees that all Content submitted and/or posted by Advertiser does not include subject matter which would trigger Section 2257 obligations. If such content triggers Section 2257, then Advertiser is solely responsible for the keeping of all records required by Section 2257 or as requested by Company. If demanded by Company, Advertiser shall promptly provide Company with the full legal name of its Records Custodian, the address where all Section 2257 records are maintained, and a copy of any and all age records and other information required by Section 2257, relating to content posted on one or more outlets on the Company Network. In addition, if Advertiser resides in a jurisdiction other than the United States (the “Foreign Jurisdiction”), or is submitting Content from a Foreign Jurisdiction, Advertiser also shall keep all records as may be required under the laws of such Foreign Jurisdiction, in addition to any other obligations imposed hereunder.

2.4 Consideration: Consideration for Advertiser’s acquiescence to all of the provisions in this Agreement has been provided to Advertiser in the form of allowing Advertiser to use Company’s Network, which includes allowing Advertiser to establish an Account on the Website, submit advertising Content, and enjoy the associated promotional benefits. Advertiser acknowledges the existence and sufficiency of consideration upon your acceptance of this Agreement.

2.5 Advertising Costs: To promote services on the Website, the Advertiser must select one or more of the Company’s advertising offerings. The rates associated with the different offerings, once selected, are prominently displayed at the time of purchase. Such rates are subject to change within Company’s discretion at any time. The costs associated with placement of ads and other services are conspicuously described on the Website, and incorporated herein by reference.

2.6 Advertiser bears full and sole responsibility for the production, publication, and posting of the Content. Advertiser shall notify Company within one (1) business day of first posting of any corrections, changes or deletions necessary thereto. No refunds or credits (which include credits, adjustments, coupons and the like) are provided by Company and none should be expected by Advertiser.

(a) However, to the extent Company does provide a refund, Company, at its sole discretion, will either (i) issue a credit back to any credit or debit card used to pay for the advertising service; or (ii) issue a refund check which will be mailed to the current address of record in as reflected in Advertiser’s account. Such refund check must be presented for payment to a financial institution within ninety (90) days of issuance, or such check (and the refund amount) will be cancelled and forfeited and no replacement check will be provided. To the extent Company does provide or post a credit to Advertiser’s account or has provided a credit in the past, in each case, for any reason whatsoever, such credit must be used no later than 1) one hundred eighty (180) days of being posted to the Advertiser’s account; 2) prior to termination of this Agreement; or one hundred eighty (180) days from the Effective Date of this Agreement, whichever occurs last. Otherwise, the credit will be cancelled and forfeited and no replacement will be provided. Any overpayment will be posted as a credit and handled in accordance with this paragraph.

(b) Advertiser bears full and sole responsibility for ensuring that each payment is appropriately and adequately marked such that Company is able to apply such payment to Advertiser’s account and advertisement. Advertiser must contact Company promptly if Advertiser believes that such Advertiser’s payment has not been applied correctly. If Company is unable to apply a payment within ninety (90) days after its receipt, such payment is forfeited, becomes the property of Company, and will not be refunded.

(c) If the parties agree that Advertiser will pay for advertisements based on a variable fee model such as impressions, clicks, exposure, conversions, and the like (e.g., banner ads), Advertiser must pay Company a non-refundable retainer fee in advance. At the end of a reporting period, as determined by Company in its sole discretion, Company will submit to Advertiser a report documenting the calculation of the advertising fee and such fee will be deducted from the retainer amount. Company’s records, files, statistics, and reports will be the only basis for the calculation of the advertising fee, and are not subject to audit. Any questions concerning such calculation must be submitted within five (5) business days of Company’s submitting the report to Advertiser or such fee calculation will be deemed final. The parties acknowledge and agree that a variable fee model as described above is a common method for calculating an advertising fee between independent internet businesses and does not mean and does not imply that Company owns, controls, or has any influence over Advertiser’s business. Advertiser has sole and complete ownership and control over its business.

(d) Advertiser acknowledges and agrees that Advertiser’s financial institution or vendor may impose a fee on Advertiser as a result of Advertiser paying its advertising or service fees to Company using such financial institution or vendor’s credit/debit card or other payment method. Advertiser understands that domestic and/or international merchant processing may be used by Company and as such, additional international fees may be added. Advertiser is advised to understand such fees in advance as Advertiser is solely responsible for payment of such fees, and consider such fees when choosing a payment method and specific credit/debit card as fees do vary.

2.7 In addition to being solely responsible and liable for all Content submitted to the Company Network, Advertiser is also solely liable for any content accessible via any link Advertiser includes as part of Advertiser’s Content, and for any technical malfunctions, errors, or other problems caused by such link. Advertiser specifically indemnifies and holds the Company (which means the Company, its owners, officers and directors, successors, assigns, attorneys, affiliates, agents and licensees, and, in all cases, their respective owners, officers and directors, successors, assigns, affiliates, agents, and licensees) harmless for any claims, debts or allegations relating to any site linked to one or more outlets on the Company Network by the Advertiser.

2.8 Advertiser is solely responsible for any Content submitted to Company, by Advertiser or on Advertiser’s behalf by third parties (such as photographers or other delegates of Advertiser) and all provisions of this Agreement shall apply to such Content. Advertiser warrants and represents that it owns and retains, or has obtained from the Content owner, all necessary rights to display all Content submitted to Company in accordance with this Agreement, including, without limitation, all necessary model releases, copyright licenses, trademark licenses, assignments, publicity rights and the like. Advertiser specifically indemnifies and holds the Company harmless for any claims, debts or allegations relating to any Content it submits and/or posts pursuant to this Agreement.

2.9 Prior to submitting any Content for publication, Advertiser must establish an advertising account (“Account”) with the Company, which requires specific registration, identification, and payment information, in the discretion of the Company. Advertiser warrants and represents that all information provided in connection with registration for an Account is true and correct. Advertiser is permitted to create only one (1) Account, and transfer or sale of the same is prohibited. Registration for an Account may be denied, suspended, or revoked by the Company at any time, in the Company’s discretion, if the Advertiser fails to meet or comply with the Company’s publishing guidelines, quality assurance evaluation, anti-fraud policies, or customer authentication efforts. Advertisers who have been rejected, suspended, denied, or banned from establishing an Account shall not attempt to register another Account using the same or different registration information. Any such circumvention efforts shall be deemed to be fraudulent and unlawful.

2.10 Advertiser may not create an Account if accessing the Website or its services would violate the laws of Advertiser’s jurisdiction.

2.11 Advertiser shall be responsible for all uses and/or activities conducted through Advertiser’s Account, whether or not authorized by Advertiser. Advertiser agrees to immediately notify the Company of any unauthorized access or use of Advertiser’s Account.

2.12 Company disclaims any and all liability resulting from fraudulent access and/or use of the Website via Advertiser’s Account.

2.13 Advertiser may be provided online access to its Account. Advertiser acknowledges and agrees that such Account may be used solely to enable the purposes set forth in this Agreement including any uses necessary to effectuate the intent thereof. Advertiser will safeguard its Account password and other log-in information in accordance with industry standards, and shall not share such information with any third party. Advertiser remains solely responsible and liable for the Content in such Account regardless of any assistance that Company may provide Advertiser with respect to such Account (e.g., loading or transferring Content into the account) as permitted under this Agreement.

2.14 Privacy/Data Collection.

(a) Advertiser acknowledges and agrees that Company uses cookies, browser capabilities, web beacons, features and functionalities, tracking services, and other technology to collect information about Advertiser in order to enhance Advertiser’s experience on the sites. The collection of this data is intended to improve site navigation; maintain tracking of preferences; provide general internal and user web analytics reports; conduct research; and assist in identifying possible fraudulent activities. The information collected includes, but is not limited to, Advertiser’s IP address, device, transaction data, browser information, geographic location, the unaltered images/photos of the blurred images/photos that Advertiser may submit, and other session data (collectively, “Passive Data”).

(b) Advertiser acknowledges and agrees that, in order for the Company to conduct business, Advertiser will have to transfer personal information which will include account and advertiser information, payment information such as credit or debit card data, identification data, personal identification documents such as government identification cards and other verification documents, authentication or other photographs, and/or other age verification documentation and materials of the account owner or the persons depicted in the Content. In addition, Advertiser acknowledges and agrees that Company may record and store all interactions with Advertiser (eg., phone, live chat, email, internet, etc.). All of the above-referenced categories of information, data, and materials are referred to herein as “Active Data”.

(c) Advertiser fully and knowingly expressly consents to the Company’s receipt and handling of the Passive Data and the Active Data (together, “Business Data”) notwithstanding when or under what agreement it was provided to the Company. The Company agrees that it will process the Business Data using commercially reasonable standards. Further, Company has Advertiser’s express permission (without any additional consent) to use and maintain the Business Data however it sees fit, and provide any or all of it to any law enforcement authority, or in response to subpoena or other administrative, regulatory, or legal process or obligation including, without limitation, to a third party to protect Company, Advertiser, or general public and/or to provide it to a third party and all predecessors, successors and assigns in the event Company, its assets, or all or substantially all of its assets, are acquired in a sale, merger or other reorganization of the company, or in the event of bankruptcy, insolvency, or receivership. If the Company subcontracts, sells or transfer its obligations under this agreement to a non-governmental entity, it shall do so only if such entity agrees to use commercially reasonable standards to safeguard such Business Data. Advertiser understands that if any (governmental or not) subcontractor, buyer or transferee fails to fulfil its data protection obligations hereunder the Company will not be responsible or liable in any way to the Advertiser for the performance of the subcontractor.

(d) Advertiser expressly agrees that Company may search, compare, and verify the Business Data against any applicable resources such as governmental databases and third party tools and software, and with respect to credit, debit, gift or other payment card information, Company has Advertiser’s express permission to use a PCI Compliant third party vendor to store and process payment cards such as credit, debit and gift cards.

3. Grant of License Rights.

3.1 Advertiser hereby grants Company, along with its successors and assigns, a worldwide, non-exclusive, perpetual, royalty free license to use, display, copy, publish, post, exhibit, broadcast, transmit, communicate, perform, distribute, and disseminate Advertiser’s Content on the Company Network and/or to incorporate such Advertiser Content into any form, medium, or technology now known or later developed. The license granted to the Company by the Advertiser shall permit publication of Advertiser Content on other third party websites which will assist Company with getting more viewers to see Advertiser’s Content, including any derivative works based on, or compilation including, such Content, for the purposes set forth in this Agreement including any uses necessary to effectuate the intent thereof. Advertiser hereby grants Company the right, in Company’s sole discretion, to process and/or make changes such as deletions to the Content in order for such Content to comply with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations (collectively, “Laws”) and Company policies and procedures, and to deter third party intellectual property (e.g., copyright) infringement. Specifically, Advertiser agrees that Company may place an “DP” branded watermark on pictures submitted by Advertiser to Company for display on the Company’s websites. Advertiser also understands and hereby consents and agrees that Company may enable Content viewers, Website users, and others, to create and/or post comments, ratings, reviews and the like (collectively, “Viewer Comments”) about such Advertiser on one or more owned or affiliated websites. Advertiser expressly releases the Company Group from any and all liability arising in connection with the Viewer Comments or Company’s use of the Content, including, without limitation, liability arising from any blurring, distortion, alteration, watermarking or optical illusion that may occur.

3.2 Notwithstanding any provision hereunder to the contrary, Company shall have no obligation to enforce Advertiser’s copyrights or other intellectual property rights associated with the Content submitted and/or posted. Advertiser acknowledges that intellectual property theft is rampant on the Internet, and that Content may be stolen, copied or otherwise infringed by third parties over which Company has no control. Should any such infringement occur, Advertiser shall bear the sole obligation of enforcing Advertiser’s intellectual property rights, should it desire to do so. Company retains the right to enforce its own copyrights, license rights, and other intellectual property rights associated with the Company Network and related works. Advertiser will, at all times, reasonably cooperate with Company and its counsel in respect of any suspected infringement or suit for infringement, including, without limitation, testifying, and by making available any records, papers, information, and the like when reasonably requested by Company.

3.3 Privacy / Security Warning: Please take note that while Company takes reasonable efforts to protect any personal information or private data Advertisers provide to the Company, no website or server is immune from hacking or other breaches of security protocols, which can result in the wrongful public release of such information and data. Such actions may cause humiliation, mental / emotional distress, identity theft, and other significant damages. Advertiser therefore acknowledges and agrees that Company shall not be liable for any release of Advertiser’s private information, personal data, or Content, and Advertiser hereby holds Company harmless from any and all liability and claims associated therewith.  Advertiser further acknowledges and agrees that the Website is an adult-oriented, erotic-themed advertising destination that can be accessed by users throughout the world. Advertiser therefore understands that any material submitted to the Website may be viewed by current and/or former friends, family, colleagues, associates, employers, and acquaintances.

3.4 Company is not required or obligated to pay Advertiser any monetary compensation for the license rights that Advertiser has granted to Company hereunder, and Advertiser agrees that the submission and/or posting of the Content on one or more of the outlets on the Company Network constitute adequate and sufficient consideration for the grant of said rights.

3.5 The duration of the license rights granted hereunder by Advertiser to Company shall be for an unlimited period, except that said license rights may be terminated by Advertiser by terminating the Agreement pursuant to Section 8.10. Advertiser acknowledges that merely stopping payment on their advertisements or non-renewal of advertising with Company does not constitute a termination of license rights or this Agreement. After effective termination of license rights by Advertiser, Company shall remove any Content from the Company Network. Company shall not be required to return any Content to Advertiser that Advertiser has submitted to Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Advertiser acknowledges that all Content may be maintained indefinitely by the Company, or its predecessors, agents, directors, shareholders, affiliates, successors and assigns for archival, contractual, and/or legal purposes including, without limitation, the publication of an archived section of ads, or a profile section of advertisers, on its website, a sale of the Company or all or substantially all of its assets, and/or bankruptcy, receivership, or insolvency of the Company.

3.6 All license rights granted to Company hereunder shall be royalty free, fully assignable, transferable, and sub-licensable by Company, in its sole discretion.

3.7 Advertiser may designate a third party to act on Advertiser’s behalf by executing an Advertiser Delegation Agreement. Advertiser acknowledges that Advertiser is fully responsible for the actions of a designated third-party acting on Advertiser’s behalf, with or without Advertiser’s consent. Advertiser acknowledges that execution of an Advertiser Delegation Agreement does not release Advertiser from the terms of this Agreement and such Advertiser is jointly and severally liable for all actions of any delegate.

3.8 This Agreement does not constitute a license for Advertiser to use Company’s trade names, service marks or any other trade insignia owned or licensed by Company including but not limited to “DP”, “DATING PORNSTAR” and any term containing Company’s protected trademarks, service marks or trade names. Any use of any of Company’s or Company’s licensors’ trade names, service marks or any other trade insignia is strictly prohibited, absent Company’s prior written consent. Specifically, Advertiser is not permitted to register any Uniform Resource Locator (URL) or World Wide Web address that contains any of Company’s or Company’s licensors’ trademarks or URLs or that contain any terms that are confusingly similar to Company’s trademarks or URLs.

3.9 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Company hereby grants to Advertiser a worldwide, royalty-free license to use, copy and publicly display the DP VERIFIED & Design collective membership mark in a manner subject to ongoing approval by Company. This license granted in this section shall continue until the first of the following events to occur: (a) Advertiser fails to meet the qualifications established by Company as a prerequisite to use the mark; or, (b) Company terminates this license in its sole discretion by and upon providing notice to Advertiser. Company reserves the right to implement a royalty or other consideration requirement for continuation of the rights granted hereunder.

7. Company’s Role as Online Service Provider.

7.1 Advertiser agrees that Advertiser is the creator and producer of its Content and is solely responsible for any Content that is posted on one or more of the outlets on the Company Network, and accepts all obligations associated with the Content as described elsewhere in this Agreement.

7.2 The parties acknowledge and agree that Company acts as a facilitator of communication for its third party advertisers and/or users. Company does not produce, design, or otherwise provide any content to its advertisers. As such, the parties acknowledge and agree that Company shall be deemed to be an Online Service Provider (“OSP”) and shall also be deemed to be an Interactive Computer Service. Nothing contained hereunder shall be interpreted as a waiver of rights in this regard. Advertiser shall give notice and comply with the applicable notification procedures and agree that Company will have and shall fully benefit from the applicable safe harbor provisions, along with the immunity, liability limitations, Good Samaritan defense and other provisions pertaining to providers and users of Interactive Computer Services set forth in the applicable law, and all similar notice and other provisions limiting or otherwise insulating the liability of OSPs and providers or users of Interactive Computer Services pursuant to any jurisdiction’s laws that may apply in which Advertiser or Advertiser’s assigns elect to bring any claim against the Company Group or any Company’ assigns or sub-licensees of rights granted to Company hereunder.

7.3 Advertiser acknowledges its responsibility to prevent minors under its care from accessing harmful or inappropriate material. Advertiser agrees not to allow minors to view any such content, and Advertiser agrees to take responsible measures to prevent them from doing so. Numerous commercial online safety filters are available which may help users limit minors’ access to harmful or inappropriate material. Advertiser is hereby informed that it can research such services at websites such as:

https://www.fosi.org/good-digital-parenting/ ,

http://www.rtalabel.org/

http://www.parentalguidance.org, among others.

Please note that Company makes no representation or warranty regarding any of the products or services referenced on such sites, and Company recommends that Advertiser conducts appropriate due diligence before purchasing or installing any online filter.

7.4 Advertiser acknowledges and understands that Company operates as the provider of an Interactive Computer Service. Thus, Company is immune from, and cannot be held responsible for, claims arising from the publication or transmission of the Content of Advertisers and third parties. Company does not create such content, and is not responsible for the publication of remarks or communications of third-parties that may arguably rise to the level of being actionable under applicable law, including, but not limited to, the publication of material that might be considered defamatory, or violative of privacy or publicity rights. Note, that the law allows Company to remove or block any content found to be offensive, defamatory, obscene or otherwise violative of Company’s policies, without impacting Company’s status as the provider of an Interactive Computer Service.
