8. Termination, Advertiser Charges and Publisher Earnings
Self-Serve publishers without a signed agreement shall receive a fifty percent (50%) share of the Gross Revenue. “Gross Revenue” means total revenue generated by ads paid for by advertisers and generated by the publisher’s Tap Native ad units minus 1.9% for credit cards, charge backs, payment adjustments based on 3rd party software and any relevant sales commissions to 3rd party companies including data fees paid by Tap Native. For sake of clarity, this means that Tap Native shares revenue with publishers after removing those 3rd party fees. Tap Native reserves the right, at any time and in its sole discretion, to terminate and discontinue the service of any publisher that has a registered account or utilizes its ad units or any parts of its Sites, in whole or in part, and we may prevent any person or entity from access to the ad units and Sites with or without notice for any reason or no reason. Tap Native Pays publisher’s net30 at the end of every calendar month. January earning are paid at the end of February, February earnings are paid at the end of March etcetera. To be eligible for payment, all publishers must set their payment preference and upload their organization’s W9 or W8 form in the publisher finance section of the Tap Native dashboard. Tap Native typically discontinues service to a publisher when it has determined that the publisher’s web traffic is partially or fully automated or fraudulent. No payments for traffic determined to be automated or fraudulent will be paid to the publisher. All charges in the advertiser dashboard and earnings displayed in the publisher’s dashboard are estimates only and do not become official until the 10th day of the calendar month following the month for which those earnings took place. Upon termination for any reason, Sections 5 (Limitation on Liability and Disclaimers), 6 (Indemnity) and 11 (General) will survive.
9. Advertiser Billing, charges and Recurring Payment
As an advertising user you understand that you are solely responsible for charges that will accumulate when ads are set to play in your account. Ads typically begin playing once they are approved unless you have paused the ad in your dashboard. You are responsible for pausing ads when they are set to play and you are responsible for setting daily or monthly spending caps on ads, campaigns or at the account level.
Auto bill and Recurring Payments. In order to utilize some Tap Native Services or product offerings, you may elect to opt in for auto billing which are recurring credit card charges set by you, the advertiser, in the Tap Native dashboard. These auto bill settings control if, when and how additional amounts should be charged to the credit card you have input into the Tap Native dashboard. You may elect to set recurring charges when the Tap Native account balance reaches specific levels. As an advertising user you understand that you are solely responsible for auto bill settings and charges that accumulate while ads are playing in your account. As part of signing up for this service you authorize Tap Native, or a third-party payment processor that works on our behalf, to charge your chosen payment method according to the settings in the auto bill feature described in the Tap Native dashboard. Tap Native reserves the right to correct any errors or mistakes that it makes even if it has already requested or received payment. To the extent you elect to purchase other services or product offerings we may offer for a non-recurring fee, you authorize Tap Native to charge your chosen payment provider for the Services and/or products you purchase. You agree that if Tap Native already has your credit card on file as a result of prior purchases you have made, we may charge that credit card for the additional services or products you purchase.
10. Refund Policy
Except as set forth in these Terms or as described on the Site at the time you make a purchase, all payments for ads that have run as well as auto bill charges made on or through the Site or Services are non-refundable. If there is an unused balance in your account, Tap Native will refund that unused portion as long as no additional charges from auto bill or ads that have not yet been accounted for are playing.
11. General
The TOU and your use of the Sites shall be governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey, without regard to its conflict of laws principles, unless otherwise stated by mandatory laws. Any action shall be brought exclusively in the courts located in the county of Mercer, New Jersey and you hereby consent to such jurisdiction and venue to the extent permitted by applicable law. In no event shall any claim, action, or proceeding by you related in any way to the Sites be instituted more than one (1) year after the cause of action arose. If any provision of the TOU (or part of such provision) is found to be invalid or unenforceable by any court having competent jurisdiction, then that provision (or part of that provision) shall be deemed severable from the TOU and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions — that invalid or unenforceable (part of the) clause will be replaced by a valid and/or enforceable, as the case may be, (part of the) clause which is as close to the intention of the parties as possible. The failure of Tap Native to insist upon or enforce any of the provisions of these TOU, or to exercise any rights or remedies under these TOU, will not be construed as a waiver of Tap Native's right to assert or rely upon any such provisions, rights, or remedies in that or any other instance; rather, the same will be and remain in full force and effect. No waiver of any term of these TOU shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term.
