Double Pimp Publisher Terms and Conditions
1. PARTIES
Pursuant to this Agreement, Enterprises
DP Limited of 19 Cardinal Avenue, Borehamwood, Hertfordshire, WD6 1EN, United
Kingdom ("DoublePimp"), and you ("You" or
"Publisher") agree to the following terms and conditions for the
receipt of advertising materials ("Creatives") from advertising
Customers ("Customers" or "Advertisers"). This includes the
serving, tracking and reporting of each Campaign made on the websites of the DoublePimp
network of publishers (the "Network").
2. Traffic
NO EMAIL PROMOTION ALLOWED:
Because of our inability to monitor
compliance with the requirements of the “Controlling the Assault of
Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act of 2003" or the "CAN-SPAM
Act of 2003" (the "Act"), we will not accept, under any
circumstances, any referrals which are sent to us from email promotions or
marketing, irrespective of whether the email promotion complies with the
requirements of the Act or not. Therefore, any affiliates that attempt to promote
our program through email marketing directly or through webpages promoted by
email marketing will be automatically terminated without pay.
You may not send traffic from a
non-approved website.
You may not send traffic from web pages
that contain, promote or refer to child pornography, rape, bestiality, hatred,
racism, violence, warez, mp3, password trading or from webpages that link to
other sites that contain or promote aforesaid.
Publishers are responsible for
maintaining their site according to the laws of their county/state/country and
no site may contain any material that infringes upon any copyright laws.
Any attempt to generate impressions or
clicks artificially or falsify click uniqueness will be detected by our
systems. If you employ such tactics your account will be terminated, you will
not be paid, and you will be blacklisted for life. In some cases we will take
legal action against persons intentionally attempting to defraud DoublePimp.
If you intend to send impressions from
within a password protected area, you must provide us with means of access
(e.g. usernames and/or passwords). The means of access must be valid at any
time we choose during the period in which you send traffic from these areas.
3. USE POLICY
(a) Membership: Membership in the Network
is subject to prior approval of DoublePimp. DoublePimp reserves the right to
refuse service to any new or existing Publisher for any reason, in its sole
discretion. Approval of membership in the Network is limited only to the
specific root URLs (the "Websites") for which Publisher has applied
for approval by DoublePimp. DoublePimp reserves the right, in its sole
discretion and without liability to DoublePimp, to reject, omit or exclude any
Publisher or Website for any reason at any time (including, without limitation,
if a Website's text is in a foreign language), with or without notice to the
Publisher and regardless of whether such Publisher or Website was previously
accepted. Without limiting the foregoing, DoublePimp reserves the right to
require potential or existing publishers to submit detailed descriptions or
explanations of the Publisher’s website(s) or application(s) functionality and
backend technology through a questionnaire or survey. Refusal to participate or
answers deemed unsatisfactory constitutes grounds for non-acceptance or
termination from the network. In addition, in all Websites in the Network must
maintain a privacy statement acceptable to DoublePimp. If Publisher is an
individual, Publisher must be at least 18 years of age.
(b) Representation: Publisher represents
and warrants that the Websites: (1) are owned by or licensed to Publisher and
Publisher has the right to use the entire contents and subject matter contained
in the Websites; (2) do not violate any law, statute, ordinance, treaty or
regulation; (3) do not infringe in any manner any copyright, patent, trademark,
trade secret or other intellectual property right of any third party; (4) do
not breach any duty toward or rights of any person or entity including, without
limitation, rights of publicity or privacy, and have not otherwise resulted in
or are not likely to result in any consumer fraud, product liability, tort,
breach of contract, injury, damage or harm of any kind to any person or entity;
(5) are not false, deceptive or misleading; (6) are not defamatory, libelous,
slanderous or threatening; and (7) are free of viruses, Trojan horses, trap
doors, back doors, Easter eggs, worms, time bombs, cancelbots,
"spyware" and other computer programming routines that may
potentially damage, interfere with, intercept, or expropriate any system, data
or personal information. Publisher also represents, warrants and covenants
that: (i) Publisher has the power and authority to enter into and perform its
obligations under this Agreement; (ii) Publisher shall not be in violation of
any obligation, contract or agreement by entering into this Agreement, by
performing its obligations hereunder or by authorizing and permitting DoublePimp
to perform the services hereunder; (iii) Publisher shall comply with all of the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, as amended from time to time; (iv) all
information provided by Publisher to DoublePimp or posted on the Websites by
Publisher is truthful, accurate and complete, and is not misleading in any way;
(v) DoublePimp is hereby authorized by Publisher to perform all the services
described hereunder with respect to Publisher and the Websites; (vi) upon
request by DoublePimp, Publisher shall promptly provide a written statement in
form acceptable to DoublePimp confirming DoublePimp's authority hereunder; and
(vii) Publisher shall not upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make
available any content, material, data, work, designation, trade or service
mark, tradename, link, advertising or services that actually or potentially (a)
violates any applicable law or regulation, including, without limitation, false
advertising or unfair competition under the law of any jurisdiction, (b)
infringes or misappropriates any proprietary, intellectual property, contract
or tort right of any person, or (c) to a reasonable person, may be abusive,
defamatory, invasive of privacy, harassing, threatening, malicious, otherwise
objectionable or in way derogatory about DoublePimp or any other party.
Publisher grants DoublePimp and the customer the right and license to transmit
the Creatives to the Websites.
(c) Termination: DoublePimp reserves the
right to terminate any Publisher's relationship with the Network at any time,
with or without cause, including, without limitation, for reasons set forth in
Section 2(e) below. Termination notice may be provided in person or via email,
facsimile or mail (either regular mail or overnight courier) and will be
effective immediately upon receipt. Upon receipt of such termination notice,
Publisher agrees to immediately remove from the Websites any and all of DoublePimp’s
software code supplied to Publisher for serving Creatives from DoublePimp or
otherwise (collectively, the "DoublePimp Code"). Publisher will be
paid, in the next scheduled payment cycle following termination, all
legitimate, non-fraudulently accrued, earnings due up to the time of
termination. Upon termination all ties to referrals will be permanently severed
and Publisher will not receive nor be entitled to receive future referral
commissions hereunder.
(d) Content: DoublePimp reserves the
absolute right to refuse to affiliate with any Publisher. DoublePimp does not
accept Websites that engage in, promote or facilitate illegal or legally
questionable activities such as pirating and hacking. This Agreement is
voidable by DoublePimp immediately if Publisher fails to disclose, conceals or
misrepresents itself in any way. In addition, DoublePimp may in its sole
discretion refuse to serve any Website that it deems inappropriate. To insure
compliance with this Agreement, any Publishers that change their content after
approval for membership MUST notify DoublePimp of the changes in writing
IMMEDIATELY. Notices should be sent to support@doublepimp.com
(e) Traffic: DoublePimp reserves the
right to terminate Publisher’s relationship with DoublePimp immediately should
either (a) the number of Impressions delivered by Publisher total less than
2,500 per month, or (b) the unique Click Through Rate equals 0.25% or less for
any fourteen (14) consecutive calendar day period, or (c) Publisher’s traffic
falls below the threshold established by DoublePimp from time to time. DoublePimp
reserves the right to change the minimum CTR at any time in response to market
pressures.
(f) Defaults: Publisher acknowledges and
agrees that DoublePimp may not be able to fill 100% of advertising requests
sent to its servers with paying ads. DoublePimp provides free Publisher-defined
default redirects expressly for this reason. Publisher-defined defaults ads
must adhere to the content guidelines outlined for all DoublePimp Advertisers.
Publishers found using default ads that violate the content restrictions of the
Customer Agreement will be removed from the network. If Publisher chooses not
to specify a default redirect, DoublePimp will display so-called 'house' and/or
'AdCouncil' ads on Publisher's website when paid advertising is unavailable. DoublePimp
may also display so-called 'house' and/or 'AdCouncil' ads on Publisher's
Websites when technical difficulties require it. So-called 'house' and
'AdCouncil' ads are not paid advertising. Under no circumstances does DoublePimp
guarantee to provide any percent fill of paid advertising to a Website.
(g) Placement: Publisher shall be solely
responsible for placing Creatives on the Websites, which placement shall be
subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. No Creative may be
placed on any root URL not specifically approved by DoublePimp for membership
within the Network. Banner, Leaderboard, Skyscraper, and Wide Skyscraper
Creatives must be placed within 600 pixels of the top of the Webpage (above the
page scroll/fold). DoublePimp pop-under or pop-up windows cannot be launched
from websites that launch more than a total of two pop windows, including the DoublePimp
pop-under. Placement on multiple exit pop and console windows are expressly
forbidden and payment will be withheld. Skyscrapers or wide skyscrapers and
half page formats cannot be placed on the same page. Text Ads are limited to a
total of seven text links per page in any combination of stand alone and/or
multiple links. No Publisher will place ads on blank pages, on pages with no
content, on top of one another, on non-approved Websites, or in such a fashion
that may be deceptive to the visitor, or are designed simply to falsely create
page view impressions. Creatives cannot be placed in email messages. In-page
Creatives (Banners, Leaderboards, Skyscrapers, Wide Skyscrapers, Rectangles,
Medium Rectangles, Half Pages, Text Ads) may not be placed on, chat rooms, and
other entities that the Publisher does not have complete control of without
prior approval by DoublePimp. Interstitial, and Pop-under Creatives may be
placed on forums and chat rooms.
(h) Fraud and Deception: DoublePimp audits
every Publisher's traffic on a daily basis. Publishers that commit fraudulent
activities, including false clicks, false impressions, and incentivize clicks,
will have their account permanently removed from the Network and will not be
compensated for fraudulent traffic. Additionally, DoublePimp reserves the right
to register fraudulent Publishers in a global ad network fraud database, for
usage by other ad networks. We have several fraud mechanisms at our disposal
that will detect most forms within a few days of the initial activity. All
Creatives must be served from a DoublePimp server or serving location, or
through a DoublePimp approved 3rd-party-hosted server. Stored images that are
loaded from a different location will not count towards any statistic or
payment. Publishers agree to not artificially inflate traffic counts using a
program (including scripts), device, or other means. Excessive page reloading
or any other abuse of our system may result in legal action. No Publisher shall
induce visitors to click on Creatives based on incentives, provided, however,
that, with the prior written approval of DoublePimp, certain language may
appear above or below an advertisement served by DoublePimp. Without limiting
the foregoing, the following methods of generating visitor interest are
unacceptable to DoublePimp and may be grounds for dismissal from the Network:
use of unsolicited email or inappropriate newsgroup postings to promote your
Website; auto-spawning of browsers or consoles; automatic redirecting of users;
clicking on your own banners; blind text links; misleading links; traffic with
no referring URL; robot traffic or any other method that may lead to
artificially high numbers of impressions or clicks.
It is the OBLIGATION of the (Affiliate,
Publisher, Partner) to prove to DoublePimp. that they are NOT committing fraud.
DoublePimp will hold your payment in 'Pending Status' until you have
satisfactorily provided evidence that you are not defrauding the system. We
flag accounts that:
* Have click-through rates that are much higher than industry averages
and where solid justification is not evident
* Have click-through rates that are much lower than industry averages
* Have ONLY click programs generating clicks with no indication by site
traffic that it can sustain the clicks reported
* Have shown fraudulent leads/clicks/impressions as determined by our
clients
* Use fake redirects, automated software, and/or fraud to generate
clicks or leads from our programs
* Send large amounts of traffic with no referring URL
* Maintain other statistics that are grossly different from industry
averages
(i) Code: DoublePimp Code shall not be
modified without prior written consent from DoublePimp. Publisher agrees to use
the DoublePimp Code provided by DoublePimp for displaying a Creative not more
than ONCE per page view for image-based ads. Ad codes cannot be placed in email
messages. Publisher cannot alter, copy, modify, take, sell, reuse, or divulge
any DoublePimp Code, except as is necessary to partake in the Network,
provided, however, with the prior written approval of DoublePimp, a Publisher
may, in certain instances, modify the DoublePimp Code for purposes of inserting
certain language pre-approved by DoublePimp either above or below an
advertisement served by DoublePimp. Requests for language approval should be
sent to support@doublepimp.com. Any modifications to DoublePimp Code shall be
owned solely by DoublePimp. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, DoublePimp grants you a world-wide, revocable, non-exclusive,
non-transferable, non-sublicensable, limited use license to use, execute, and
display the DoublePimp Code solely for purposes of receiving and displaying the
Creatives and performing your other obligations hereunder. Except for the
limited license expressly granted in this Section, nothing in this Agreement
shall be construed as DoublePimp granting you any right, title or interest in
or to the DoublePimp Code or any right under any patent, trade secret or other
intellectual property rights of DoublePimp. You acknowledge and agree that DoublePimp
owns all right, title and interest in and to the DoublePimp Code (including,
without limitation, all software and technology underlying any such product,
service, and/or information) and all related intellectual and proprietary
rights of any kind anywhere in the world. You agree that you will not use the DoublePimp
Code, or the results created thereby, or disseminate or distribute any of this
information, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement.
(j) Data Reporting (Stats): DoublePimp
owns all data collected by or through DoublePimp's code and/or any or all
reports, results, and/or information created, compiled, analyzed and/or derived
by DoublePimp from such data (collectively, "Data"). All Data shall
be deemed DoublePimp's Confidential Information. Any use by Publisher of such
Data shall be only as expressly permitted in this Agreement and in strict
compliance with DoublePimp's privacy policy. Publisher may only access Data
that is collected through the use of their inventory.
(k) Website Access: For purposes of this
Agreement, all websites that are owned, operated or hosted by or on behalf of DoublePimp,

content therein or data obtained therefrom for any other purpose and that you
will not disseminate any of this information. You agree that you will not use
any automated means, including, without limitation, agents, robots, scripts, or
spiders, to access or manage your account with DoublePimp or to monitor or copy
the DoublePimp Websites or the content contained therein except those automated
means expressly made available by DoublePimp, if any, or authorized in advance
and in writing by DoublePimp (for example, DoublePimp-approved third party
tools and services). The DoublePimp Websites contain robot exclusion headers
and you agree that you will not bypass DoublePimp's robot exclusion headers
(including using any device, software or routine to accomplish that goal), or
to interfere or attempt to interfere with the proper working of the DoublePimp
Websites or any program thereon, or DoublePimp system. Without limitation to
the foregoing, you further agree that you will not take any action that imposes
an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on the DoublePimp Websites,
any programs thereon, or DoublePimp's infrastructure, as determined by DoublePimp.
(l) Trademarks: DoublePimp's logos and
trademarks and any future trademarks, service marks or logos on all DoublePimp
Websites are trademarks of DoublePimp or DoublePimp's licensors (the "DoublePimp
Marks"). Without the prior written consent of DoublePimp or its licensors,
Publisher shall not display or use in any manner any DoublePimp Marks.
(m) Your Website: You hereby acknowledge
that DoublePimp is not responsible for the content or maintenance of your
Websites, or websites owned or operated by any third party (including, without
limitation, other advertisers), nor is DoublePimp responsible for order entry,
fulfillment, payment processing, shipping, cancellations, returns or customer
service concerning orders placed on your Websites or websites owned or operated
by any third party (including, without limitation, other advertisers). You
represent, warrant and covenant that all information you provide in connection
with this Agreement or on your Websites are, and will be, updated to remain,
current and accurate. You agree that your Websites do not contain any DoublePimp-owned
or licensed content, including, without limitation, any DoublePimp listings,
except pursuant to a separate signed agreement with DoublePimp.
(n) Contact Information: To insure timely
payment, Publishers are responsible for maintaining the correct contact and
payment information associated with their account. Payment Profile information
must be updated by the last day of the month to be reflected in the next
payment. This must be done by Publisher online using Publisher's account. Any
and all bank/service fees associated with returned or cancelled payments due to
any error in the Publisher contact or payment information are Publisher's
responsibility, and will be deducted by DoublePimp upon repayment of such
returned or cancelled payments.

parties' obligations pursuant to this Agreement, you agree not to transmit to DoublePimp,
its information providers, licensors, licensees, consultants, contractors,
agents, attorneys or employees, and DoublePimp shall not solicit or collect,
any personally identifiable information of the visitors or customers to your
Websites unless required by law or court order, or otherwise agreed in writing
and signed by an authorized representative of DoublePimp. You represent,
warrant, and covenant that at all times while the DoublePimp code is on your
Websites, you will maintain a privacy policy on your Websites which shall (a)
be available, at a minimum, as a clear and conspicuous link from the main page
of your Websites and on all web pages where visitors' personally identifiable
information is collected, (b) obtain all rights and/or permissions necessary
for DoublePimp to use the Data as contemplated under this Agreement, (c) comply
with all applicable laws and regulations, and (d) contain language materially
similar to the following:
"We have contracted with Enterprises
DP Limited ("DoublePimp") to monitor certain pages of our website for
the purpose of reporting website traffic, statistics, advertisement
'click-throughs', and/or other activities on our website. Where authorized by
us, DoublePimp may use cookies, web beacons, and/or other monitoring
technologies to compile anonymous statistics about our website visitors. No
personally identifiable information is collected by or transferred to DoublePimp.
For more information about how the information is collected and used by DoublePimp,
please see DoublePimp's privacy policy at
http://www.doublepimp.com/privacy.html."
(p) Access: All hardware and software
necessary for access to DoublePimp services and Creatives is Publisher’s
responsibility. Publisher, at its sole cost and expense, shall be solely
responsible for providing, maintaining and ensuring that all hardware,
software, electrical and other physical requirements for Publisher’s use of the
services hereunder, including, without limitation, telecommunications and
internet access connections and links, web browsers, bandwidth or other
equipment, programs and services required to access and use the services
hereunder, are compatible with the DoublePimp Code.

to provide the services on a continuous basis, Publisher acknowledges and

continuous or uninterrupted basis. Publisher also understands and agrees that DoublePimp
is not responsible for the functionality of any third party website or
interface. Terms of this agreement are subject to DoublePimp hardware,
software, and bandwidth traffic limitations. Failure to deliver because of
technical difficulties does not represent a failure to meet the obligations of
this contract.
4) PAYMENT POLICY
Standard DoublePimp payment rate is up to
70% of campaign market rate. Campaign rates vary with market conditions. DoublePimp
reserves the right to set market rates. Market rates are less any payment
transaction fees, campaign referral fees, cost-of-money / bad-debt fees, and
applicable ad serving fees which usually average 10% of gross sales. DoublePimp
reserves the right to set and negotiate specific payment terms on an individual
basis. Publishers will typically be paid within twenty-five (25) business days
after the end-of-month. Do not invoice DoublePimp; all Publisher invoices are
discarded. Publishers will be paid at the account level. All accounts will be
settled in US dollars ($US). No check will be issued for any amount less than
$50US. All unpaid earnings will rollover to the next pay period. Any Publisher
account that goes unpaid for six (6) months becomes subject to immediate payoff
and dismissal from the Network. As a condition to DoublePimp’s obligation to
make payments hereunder to Publisher, Publisher must have a completed and
accurate W-9 (for US-based Publisher's) on file with DoublePimp or a completed
and accurate W-8 (for non-US-based Publisher's) on file with DoublePimp.
Publisher payments will be withheld until the appropriate taxation documents
are on file with DoublePimp. Publishers cannot refer themselves as a Publisher
or as an Advertiser. Groups of Publishers cannot refer each other. All payments
are based on actuals as defined, accounted and audited by DoublePimp. In no
event will payments be made on accounts that have not provided proper tax
identification information. DoublePimp, reserves the absolute right not to pay
any accounts or Publishers that violate any of the terms and conditions set
forth herein. DoublePimp will be responsible for determining, in its sole and
absolute discretion, what acts and omissions violate this policy, and which
acts include activity that is deceptive or fraudulent in nature. Examples of
such acts may include, without limitation, clicks without referring URLs,
extraordinary high numbers of repeat clicks, and clicks from non-approved root
URLs, robots, auto spawning exit pops & consoles, or proxy traffic.
5) LIABILITY POLICY
(a) Indemnification: Publisher is solely
responsible for any legal liability arising out of or relating to (i) the
content and other material set forth on the Publisher Websites and/or (ii) any
content or material to which users can link through the Publisher Websites
(other than through an advertisement supplied by DoublePimp). Publisher hereby
agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless DoublePimp and its information
providers, officers, directors, affiliates, licensors, partners, licensees,
consultants, contractors, agents, attorneys, employees, and third party service
providers (each, an "DoublePimp Entity" and collectively, the "DoublePimp
Entities") and employees from and against all claims, actions,
liabilities, losses, expenses, damages, and costs (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) that may at any time be incurred by any

trademark infringement or other infringement of any third party right, fraud,
false advertising, misrepresentation, product liability or violation of any
law, statute, ordinance, rule or regulation throughout the world in connection
with the Publisher Websites; (b) arising out of any breach by Publisher of this
Agreement (including any representation or warranty herein); or (c) relating to
a contaminated file, virus, worm, or Trojan horse originating from the
Publisher Websites, except for any of the foregoing directly caused by DoublePimp's
gross negligence or willful misconduct. You agree to be solely responsible for
defending any claim against any DoublePimp Entity, subject to DoublePimp's and
such DoublePimp Entity's right to participate with counsel of its own choosing;
provided that you will not agree to any settlement that imposes any obligation
or liability on DoublePimp's or any DoublePimp Entity without DoublePimp's
prior express written consent.
