11. Disputes/Arbitration. PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.
TBS and you agree that these Terms of Use affect interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of these arbitration provisions.
In the event of a dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or in connection with your access to, and/or use of the Site, and/or the provision of content, services, and/or technology on or through the Site, TBS or you must give the other notice of the dispute, claim, or controversy which notice will include a brief written statement that sets forth the name, address, and contact information of the party giving it, the facts giving rise to the dispute, claim, or controversy and the relief requested. You must send any such notice to TBS by email to turnercopyrightagent@turner.com AND by U.S. Mail to Copyright Agent, Turner Broadcasting System, Inc., 1050 Techwood Drive, NW, ATTN: Legal Dept., Atlanta, GA 30318-5604. To the extent that TBS has your contact information, it will send any such notice to you by U.S. Mail, or otherwise to your email address. TBS and you will attempt to resolve any dispute, claim, or controversy through informal negotiation within thirty (30) days from the date that any notice of dispute, claim, or controversy is sent. TBS and you shall use reasonable, good faith, efforts to settle any dispute, claim, or controversy through consultation and good faith negotiations. After 30 days, TBS or you may resort to the other alternatives described in this Section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the notice and 30 day negotiation period required by this paragraph shall not apply, however, to disputes, claims, or controversies concerning patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets and claims of piracy or unauthorized use of the Sites.
Except as otherwise specifically set forth below, any dispute, claim, or controversy of any kind between TBS and you arising under these Terms of Use or in connection with your access to, and/or use of the Site, and/or the provision of content, services, and/or technology on or through the Site, if unresolved through informal discussions within thirty (30) days of receipt of notice, shall be resolved by binding arbitration to be held in the state in which you reside. Notwithstanding the foregoing, disputes, claims, or controversies concerning patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets and claims of piracy or unauthorized use of the Site shall not be subject to arbitration.
For residents outside the United States, arbitration shall be initiated in New York, New York, and TBS and you agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any state or federal court in New York, New York to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.
The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator, governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by these Terms of Use, and administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and fee information are available at “www.adr.org”.
TBS shall bear the cost of any arbitration filing fees and arbitration fees for claims of up to $75,000, unless the arbitrator finds the arbitration to be frivolous. You are responsible for all other additional costs that you may incur in the arbitration including, but not limited to attorney’s fees and expert witness costs unless TBS is otherwise specifically required to pay such fees under applicable law. For claims that total more than $75,000, the AAA Rules will govern payment of filing fees and arbitration fees. The decision of the arbitrator will be in writing and binding and conclusive on TBS and you, and judgment to enforce the decision may be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction. TBS and you agree that dispositive motions, including without limitation, motions to dismiss and motions for summary judgment will be allowed in the arbitration. The arbitrator must follow these Terms of Use and can award the same damages and relief as a court, including injunctive or other equitable relief and attorney’s fees. TBS and you understand that, absent this mandatory arbitration provision, TBS and you would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. TBS and you further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.
If your claim is solely for monetary relief of $10,000 or less, and does not include a request for any type of equitable remedy, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely based on documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing under the AAA Rules.
You may choose to pursue your claim in small claims court where jurisdiction and venue over TBS and you otherwise qualify for such small claims court and where your claim does not include a request for any type of equitable relief.
You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by these arbitration provisions by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to the following Email address turnercopyrightagent@turner.com AND by U.S. Mail to Copyright Agent, Turner Broadcasting System, Inc., 1050 Techwood Drive, NW, ATTN: Legal Dept., Atlanta, GA 30318-5604. The notice must be sent within the later of 30 days of your first use of the Site or within 30 days of changes to this section being announced on the Site, otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate any disputes, claims, or controversies in accordance with the terms of these paragraphs. If you opt-out of these arbitration provisions, TBS also will not be bound by them. If you do not affirmatively elect to opt out as described above, your use of the Site will be deemed to be your irrevocable acceptance of these Terms of Use and any changes/updates to this section or otherwise.
If any clause within these arbitration provisions is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that specific clause will be severed from these arbitration provisions, and the remainder of the arbitration provisions will be given full force and effect. In the event some or all of these arbitration provisions are determined to be unenforceable for any reason, or if a claim, dispute or controversy is brought that is found by a court to be excluded from the scope of these arbitration provisions, TBS and you agree to waive, to the fullest extent allowed by law, any trial by jury.
The terms of these arbitration provisions will also apply to any claims asserted by you against any present or future parent or affiliated company of TBS to the extent that any such claims arise out of your access to, and/or use of the Site, and/or the provision of content, services, and/or technology on or through the Site.
12. Class Action Waiver. PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS.
TBS and you agree that TBS and you will resolve any disputes, claims or controversies on an individual basis, and that any claims brought under these Terms of Use in connection with the Site will be brought in an individual capacity, and not on behalf of, or as part of, any purported class, consolidated, or representative proceeding. TBS and you further agree that TBS and you shall not participate in any consolidated, class, or representative proceeding (existing or future) brought by any third party arising under these Terms of Use or in connection with the Site.
If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the disputes, claims or controversies will not be subject to arbitration and must be litigated in federal court located in New York, New York.
The terms of this provision will also apply to any claims asserted by you against any parent or affiliated company of TBS to the extent that any such claims arise out of your access to, and/or use of the Site, and/or the provision of content, services, and/or technology on or through the Site.
13. Miscellaneous.
These Terms of Use and any operating rules for the Site established by TBS constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede all previous written or oral agreements between the parties with respect to such subject matter. The provisions of these Terms of Use are for the benefit of TBS, its parent, subsidiaries, other affiliates and its third party content providers and licensors and each shall have the right to assert and enforce such provisions directly or on its own behalf. If you access the Site, including its Interactive Areas, from any location other than the United States, you accept full responsibility for compliance with all local laws. You are also subject to United States export controls and are responsible for any violations of United States embargoes or other federal rules and regulations restricting exports. No waiver by either party of any breach or default hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default. If any part of these Terms of Use is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, it will be replaced with language reflecting the original purpose in a valid and enforceable manner. The enforceable sections of these Terms of Use will remain binding upon the parties. The section headings used herein are for convenience only and shall not be given any legal import.
Neither TBS nor you shall be liable for damages or for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts or occurrences beyond their reasonable control, including, without limitation: fire, lightning, explosion, power surge or failure, water, acts of God, war, terrorism, revolution, civil commotion or acts of civil or military authorities or public enemies: any law, order, regulation, ordinance, or requirement of any government or legal body or any representative of any such government or legal body; or labor unrest, including without limitation, strikes, slowdowns, picketing, or boycotts; inability to secure raw materials, transportation facilities, fuel or energy shortages, or acts or omissions of other common carriers.
14. Copyrights and Copyright Agent.
TBS respects the rights of all copyright holders and in this regard, TBS has adopted and implemented a policy that provides for the termination in appropriate circumstances of users and account holders who infringe the rights of copyright holders. If you believe that your work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please provide TBS's Copyright Agent the following information required by the Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. 512:

Applicant Help
Is this job for you?
When you see a job you're interested in, carefully review the job description and determine if you meet the minimum requirements. Those requirements are a must and it wouldn't be productive to apply if you do not meet them.
In addition, you should review any "preferred" requirements that may be indicated. The more your background and skills are aligned with preferences and the requirements, the better the chance that you'll be a good match with the company and vice versa.
Our recruiters review resumes for required experience, skills and abilities, education requirements and relocation consideration. They must identify the best candidates from the applicant pool; therefore those that do not meet the minimum requirements may not be contacted. Ensure that positions you are applying for are a match or a natural next step. The roles you have previously held should support and complement the position for which you are applying.

1.

Agency and Advertiser jointly and severally represent and warrant, and take full responsibility to ensure, that for all materials submitted or approved by Agency or Advertiser (i) they are authorized and have obtained all necessary clearances, permissions, approvals, authorizations, rights and licenses to make available on the site or to telecast the entire contents and subject of the materials; (ii) all materials comply with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and any industry codes or rules by which Advertiser or Agency may be bound, (iii) (if applicable) the advertising complies with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act in connection with any information collected by Advertiser, including but not limited to collection of information from CartoonNetwork.com users; (iv) all advertising or any other materials provided shall not contain spyware, adware, or any other software designed to covertly gather user information through the user's internet connection; (v) all advertising or any other materials provided shall not contain unauthorized embedded interactive triggers or other software that automatically diverts users from any Turner site or service; and (vi) all materials are accurate and that all claims contained therein have been substantiated.

In all such instances, Agency and Advertiser are responsible for and must promptly reimburse Turner for all attorneys’ fees, costs, expenses, judgments, and/or settlements as they are incurred. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

(b) Unless otherwise agreed by Turner and Agency or Advertiser, with respect to on-line advertisements, Turner shall have the right to insert the advertising in various areas of the applicable website from time to time in its discretion and all advertising positioning/placement clauses or conditions will be treated as requests and cannot be guaranteed. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, with respect to on-air advertisements, Turner will telecast the advertising and programs covered by this Agreement on the date and at the approximate hour and time agreed upon by the parties. Advertising placed in VOD services shall be available according to the schedule agreed by the parties. Turner shall have no obligation to telecast for the benefit of any person other than Agency and Advertiser or for a product or service other than that agreed upon by the parties.
(c) Turner agrees to hold Agency and the other subsidiaries of Agency Group (collectively, "AG"), solely liable for payment to Turner to the extent proceeds have cleared from its Advertiser clients (each, an "Advertiser") to AG for any amount payable to Turner. For sums owing but not cleared to AG, or for sums cleared but subsequently returned by AG to Advertiser or its successor or estate in bankruptcy (in any case the “Trustee”),Turner agrees, except as stated otherwise herein, to hold the Advertiser solely liable. AG will make reasonable commercial efforts to collect payment from Advertiser. AG acknowledges and agrees that in the event Advertiser payment is at least 30 days past due and/or in the event a petition under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code is filed by or against AG, Turner may contact Advertiser directly with respect to payment and pursue any other collection activities in its sole discretion, and in such event Advertiser shall be liable directly to Turner. In the event AG is subject to a claim or action by Advertiser or a Trustee for the return of any amount paid to AG for the benefit of Turner under the preferential transfer or other avoidance provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (an "Avoidance Action"), AG shall notify Turner and AG shall use its best efforts to defend such Avoidance Action in good faith, subject to Turner’s approval.

(e) Advertiser and/or Agency shall notify Turner in writing within thirty (30) days from the date of invoice of any discrepancy or disagreement with any telecast, advertisement, service, and/or the amount charged for the same. Advertiser’s and/or Agency’s failure to report any such discrepancy or disagreement in writing within such time will constitute a waiver of any claim relating to such discrepancy or disagreement. Advertiser and/or Agency shall pay all uncontested portions of invoices pursuant to the terms set forth herein. Interest may accrue as set forth above on any late payments.
(f) The parties will attempt to make up for audience shortfalls, if any, versus the quarterly guidelines set forth above through the provision of Audience Deficiency Units (ADUs). The parties will work together to do so within the 12 months immediately following the end of flight; if they cannot do so within 24 months of the end of flight, Advertiser agrees that Turner will have delivered on this contract in full and in no event has any further obligations under this contract.
(g) Unless otherwise specifically agreed upon by the parties, no cash discounts, volume discounts or other discounted rates will apply.
(h) Turner, Agency and Advertiser acknowledge that they will have access to certain trade secrets and other non-public confidential information of each other during and in connection with the performance of services ("Confidential Information"), and each hereby agrees not to disclose any Confidential Information to any third party and not to use any such Confidential Information for any purpose other than the performance of services pursuant to these Standard Terms. All such Confidential Information and trade secrets are and shall remain the exclusive property of their respective owner and no license shall be granted or implied with respect to such Confidential Information or trade secrets by reason of access to the same in connection with the performance of services hereunder. The foregoing agreement of non-use and nondisclosure shall survive any termination or expiration of any agreement between the parties and shall continue in full force and effect for a period of three (3) years from the date of the Agreement.
(i) This agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia, without regard to its conflicts of law principles or provisions. Any suit, action or proceeding brought in connection with or arising under this Agreement that is commenced by Advertiser or Agency against Turner must be brought in a Federal, State or local court of competent jurisdiction located in Fulton County, Georgia. In addition, Advertiser and Agency hereby expressly consent that any Federal, State or local court of competent jurisdiction located in Fulton County, Georgia shall have personal jurisdiction over them with respect to any suit, action or proceeding brought in connection with or arising under this Agreement that is commenced by Turner.
(j) In the event of a breach hereof by Turner, the exclusive remedy of Advertiser and Agency therefore shall be a credit for substituted advertising time of equal value, and in no event shall Turner be liable for any consequential or incidental damages, or monetary damages of any type.
(k) This Agreement is subject to the terms of licenses held by Turner and is subject also to all laws and regulations now enforced or which may be enacted in the future, including but not limited to the rules and regulations of the Federal Communications Commission and Ofcom, where applicable.
(l) As used herein the term "Turner" shall refer to Turner Broadcasting System, Inc., on behalf of itself and/or any of its relevant subsidiaries, and its and/or their networks, as well as owned or controlled digital platforms (“Media Company”) and/or platforms on which Media Company has a contractual right to serve advertising (collectively “Turner”).
(m) The party placing advertising on behalf of Advertiser and Agency acknowledges that it has the authority to do so and that by its placement has caused both Advertiser and Agency to be bound by the terms hereof. Agency shall be deemed to be acting as the principal and the authorized agent for any advertiser for whom Agency may order advertising or related services and/or on whose behalf Agency places advertising with Turner, including, without limitation, Advertiser and Agency agrees that it has the authority to legally obligate Advertiser as provided herein.
(n) A waiver by Turner of any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such terms or conditions for the future, or of any subsequent breach thereof, nor shall any such waiver relieve Agency or Advertiser from their obligations to comply strictly with the terms and conditions of this agreement.
(o) If any term or condition of this Agreement is declared invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby, and each remaining term or condition of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
(p) Advertiser and Agency acknowledge and agree that time is of the essence in this Agreement.

- APPLICATION: The terms and conditions of this contract between Cable News Network, Inc. and/or any of its subsidiaries or divisions (CNN) and Agency and Advertiser, for the placement of any form of advertising or promotion (Advertising) on any CNN service including all networks, platforms, applications and websites owned, operated, or controlled by CNN, and such websites on which CNN has the contractual right to serve Ad Materials ( all such sites, Sites and all such services collectively CNN Services). These Standard Terms, along with the applicable Letter of Confirmation (LOC) or Insertion Order (IO), as applicable, constitute the agreement with respect to the specific advertising placement on CNN Services (Agreement).

- the Advertiser who has executed the LOC or IO, as applicable; or (b) where the LOC or IO as applicable, has been executed by an Agency on behalf of an Advertiser, Company means the Advertiser and Agency jointly and severally. These Standard Terms accommodate a variety of transactions on one or more CNN Services and in the event that a section of the Standard Terms is not relevant to a specific transaction then such section will not apply. On the condition that the LOC/IO has been mutually agreed and is signed by both parties, orders for Advertising are non-cancelable.
- TERMINATION: CNN may terminate this Agreement at any time: (a) upon material breach by Company;
- if CNN considers that performance of this Agreement is in breach of applicable law, including but not limited to in breach of privacy laws, anti-bribery laws, codes, rules and regulations relating to advertising content and any industry codes or rules by which Company may be bound, such as OFCOM; (c) if Company fails to pay CNN within thirty (30) days from the date of any invoice and/or if in CNN's reasonable opinion, the credit of Company is impaired, and (d) upon breach by Company of any warranties in either paragraph 7 and/or paragraph 13(d), the limitation of liability and indemnification in paragraph 10, the data terms in paragraph 9 and/or the confidentiality terms in paragraph 12. Upon such termination, all unpaid accrued charges are immediately due and payable. Termination is without prejudice to any right or remedy accruing prior to the date of termination. If CNN breaches this Agreement, the exclusive remedy of Company will be a credit for substituted advertising time of equal value, and CNN is not liable for any special, consequential or incidental loss or monetary damages of any type. CNN will not issue refunds or credits.
- ONLINE REPORTING AND INVOICING: CNN will track ad delivery through its own reporting from its designated first party ad server. For contract based media buys, CNN will invoice Company based on the agreed contract rate and payment schedule. For performance based media buys, CNN will report and invoice based on actual impressions delivered. Invoice reconciliation will occur at the request of the Company where the difference between CNN’s reported impressions and the Company’s third party ad server’s reported impressions is greater than 10%. Media buys that are based on share of voice, are time based, include roadblocks and/or homepage takeovers, and/or include Custom Materials (defined below), are billed on a flat fee basis. There is no impression guarantee for such media buys, regardless of the share of voice delivered or contracted. Company will remain liable to CNN for amounts due for any custom content and/or development and production of all content and all revisions to it (Custom Materials) commissioned to CNN by Advertiser or completed by CNN or its third-party vendor prior to the effective date of termination.
Agency and Advertiser acknowledge and assume full responsibility, jointly and severally, for payment of all Advertising and related expenses incurred, ordered, and provided on behalf of the Advertiser by CNN. Payment for all advertising services provided by CNN are due and payable within thirty (30) days from the date of the invoice. Interest is added to all amounts thirty (30) days or more past due at the highest legal rate permitted under the law of these terms and conditions, calculated from the date of invoice. Should timely payments not be made, Company agrees to pay all costs of collection, including attorney's fees of fifteen perecent (15%) and court costs, if collected by law or through an attorney at law.
In the event that Advertising thresholds for any Advertising campaign fall below guaranteed levels, as set forth in the LOC/ IO, and/or if there is an omission of any ad (placement or creative unit), Company and CNN will endeavor to agree upon the conditions of a make-good flight of advertising, either in the LOC or IO or at the time of the shortfall. If no make-good can be agreed upon, Company may execute a credit equal to the value of the under-delivered portion of the LOC or IO for which it was charged provided, however that such credit must be consumed within 24 months from the last date of the original Advertising campaign unless CNN agrees otherwise in writing.
- PRE-EMPTIONS: CNN does not guarantee the Advertising will be transmitted strictly in accordance with Advertising bookings. CNN may cancel any telecast, transmission, exhibition of any Advertising or any portion of Advertising covered by this Agreement for any reason, including telecasting any program or event which, in CNN’s sole discretion, CNN deems to be of public interest or of significance. CNN is not in breach of this Agreement as a result of such cancellation. In the event a satisfactory substitute date and time is not agreed upon for the transmission of such cancelled Advertising, that part of the Advertising so pre-empted shall be deemed cancelled and CNN shall waive the charges allocable to the cancelled transmission only.
- OMISSION OF DELIVERY: All Advertising bookings must be made at least seven (7) business days before the first scheduled transmission date. If as a result of a major news event, act of God, force majeure, public emergency, labour dispute, restriction imposed by law or other governmental order, technical failure or for any other cause beyond CNN's reasonable control, CNN fails to exhibit the Advertising, CNN will not be in breach of this Agreement but CNN may substitute a reasonably satisfactory date to transmit or exhibit such omitted Advertising and if no such date is available CNN will waive the time charges allocable to the omitted transmission only and that part of the Advertising shall be deemed cancelled.
- ADVERTISING: All Advertising must be furnished to CNN and delivered to it at Company's sole cost and expense. Such Advertising, together with any instructions pertaining to it, must be delivered not less than five
(5) business days in advance of the scheduled delivery and/or transmission. At CNN’s discretion, CNN may require Company to submit a script, storyboard, edits, designs and/or written content of the Advertising for CNN’s review up to ten (10) business days in advance of the first scheduled delivery or transmission date. All Advertising materials furnished must not be contrary to the public interest, must not infringe on any third party rights, must conform to CNN's policies, quality standards and technical requirements and are subject to CNN’s prior approval and continuing right to reject, remove, suspend the delivery of or require editing of such materials. Any software code or vendor tags placed on any Ad Materials that run on CNN’s site must be approved and certified by CNN. CNN retains the right to remove any software code placed on Ad Materials that threatens or otherwise causes a disturbance to CNN’s Sites. In the event that Advertising is not received in time, is delivered incorrectly or, in CNN’s sole opinion is unsuitable for transmission, then CNN’s obligation to transmit the Advertising will be reduced on a pro-rata basis without affecting the total cost to be paid by Company.
- WARRANTIES: Company represents and warrants, and takes full responsibility to ensure, that: (a) it is authorized and has obtained all necessary clearances, permissions, approvals, authorizations, rights and licenses necessary for CNN's delivery of all elements contained in the Advertising for all uses and geographical areas covered by the relevant advertising campaign, ; (b) all Advertising complies with all applicable laws (including applicable libel, slander and defamation laws), privacy laws, codes, rules and regulations relating to advertising content and any industry codes or rules by which Company may be bound, including but not limited to OFCOM regulations and any regulations with respect to the procurement of services and/or media by government authorities (where applicable); (c) no Advertising contains any software viruses or spyware or any other computer code, files or programs designed to interrupt, destroy, or limit the functionality of any computer software or hardware or telecommunications equipment, or otherwise to materially, adversely alter the user experience; (d) no Advertising contains any adware (including any software code or vendor tags) or any other software designed to covertly or overtly gather user information through the user's internet connection; (e) no Advertising contains any unauthorized embedded interactive triggers or other software that automatically diverts users from any Site or CNN Service or contains fake hyperlinks or interactivity, or triggers a pop-up, pop-under or dialogue box or initiates a downloadable application; (f) Company holds sufficient rights and authority to grant CNN the right to use the Advertising (including any materials in the Advertising delivered that is contributed by or on behalf of Company) and that neither those materials nor their inclusion in the Advertising will infringe or violate the rights of any person or entity, including any intellectual property, privacy or publicity right; and (g) all Advertising is accurate and all claims contained in the Advertising have been substantiated.
- CUSTOM MATERIALS: Company will provide CNN with all reasonable co-operation in order that CNN may produce Custom Materials as economically, efficiently and promptly as possible. CNN agrees to consult with Company in relation to production of any Custom Materials, provided, however that, Company acknowledges that CNN retains sole control over production of all Custom Materials and, with respect to sponsored editorial content, sole editorial control. Company will provide any material for incorporation in such Custom Materials as CNN may reasonably request and such material will be of an appropriate standard. In the event Company fails to provide such co-operation and the Custom Materials cannot be transmitted as Advertising in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Company will remain fully liable for the total cost of the production of the Custom Materials. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, CNN owns all Custom Materials, with the exception of any Advertiser intellectual property (Advertiser IP) that Advertiser provides to CNN to be included in the Custom Materials.
- DATA: Unless otherwise authorized by CNN, Company and any third party technologies on which Company relies in the course of delivery of the Advertising, will not use Site Data for Repurposing (except to the extent that Performance Data may be used for Repurposing so long as it is not joined with any Site Data) or disclose Site Data to any affiliate or third party.

Site Data means any data that is: (a) pre-existing CNN data used by CNN pursuant to the LOC / IO; (b) gathered pursuant to the IO during delivery of Advertising that identifies or allows identification of CNN, the Site, brand, content, context or users as such (including mobile identifiers), or (c) CNN data entered by users on any Site. Performance Data is data regarding an Advertising campaign gathered during the delivery of Advertising pursuant to the LOC/ IO (e.g., number of impressions, interactions, and header information), but excludes Site Data. Repurposing means retargeting a user or appending data to a non-public profile regarding a user for purposes other than performance of the LOC/IO, such as for building audience segments tied back to CNN or CNN users, for use in online preference marketing to CNN users, for device graphing, or to perform tracking of CNN users. Company must not permit any third party ad server service provider (Third Party) to use any information received about CNN users or any usage information related to any CNN Services for any purpose other than to fulfil its obligations to Company in connection with the Advertising. Company will procure that any Third Party engaged by it treats any Site Data and Performance Data as the Confidential Information of CNN.
- LIMITATION OF LIABILITY & INDEMNIFICATION: Company indemnifies and holds CNN harmless from and against all claims, demands, debts, obligations, costs, losses, liabilities or charges (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) whatsoever that arise from: (a) Company’s breach of this Agreement; (b) the transmission, exhibition or serving of Advertising furnished by or on behalf of Company, (c)the preparation of Advertising (including Custom Materials), (d) the content or subject matter of any Advertising (including Custom Materials to the extent such Custom Materials contain Advertiser IP) or (f) the contemplated delivery of Advertising furnished by or on behalf of Company or furnished by CNN at the request of Company (Advertiser or Agency) for use in connection with the Advertising or Custom Materials. If Agency has signed the LOC, the above indemnity is given by Agency and Advertiser jointly and severally (without limiting the above indemnity) in respect of a breach by either of them and in relation to any materials provided by either of them. The provisions of this paragraph survive the termination or expiration of the applicable LOC /IO. No party’s liability to another party for: (i) death or personal injury resulting from the negligence of itself, its servants or agents; (ii) fraud; or (iii) any other liability the exclusion of which is prohibited or limited by law, shall be excluded or limited by the provisions of this Agreement, save to the extent permitted by law.
- TAXES: Each party shall be responsible for any personal property taxes on property it owns or leases, for franchise and privilege taxes on its business, and for taxes based on its net income or gross receipts. Advertiser shall be responsible for any sales, use, excise or similar taxes payable by Advertiser on any goods or services used or consumed by Advertiser in the performance of this Agreement. If Advertiser is required by law to deduct or withhold from any amount otherwise payable to CNN under this Agreement, then: (a) the amount payable by Advertiser shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional amounts payable under this section) CNN receives an amount equal to the amount it would have received had no such deductions been made; (b) Advertiser shall make such deductions, and (c) Advertiser shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant tax authority in accordance with applicable law. If, in relation to any payment to CNN, any VAT, GST, turnover tax or similar tax is required to be paid, Advertiser will pay that tax to the authorities and pay the full amount of any payment to CNN.
- CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION: Confidential Information will include: (a) all information marked as Confidential, Proprietary, or similar legend by the disclosing party (Discloser) when given to the receiving party (Recipient), and (b) information and data provided by the Discloser, which under the circumstances surrounding the disclosure should be reasonably deemed confidential or proprietary. Without limiting the foregoing, Discloser and Recipient agree that each Discloser’s contribution to an LOC or IO shall be considered such Discloser’s Confidential Information. Recipient will protect Confidential Information in the same manner that it protects its own information of a similar nature, but in no event with less than reasonable care. Recipient shall not disclose Confidential Information to anyone except an employee, agent, Affiliate, or third party who has a need to know same, and who is bound by confidentiality and non-use obligations at least as protective of Confidential Information as are those in this section. Recipient will not use Discloser’s Confidential Information other than as provided for on the LOC or IO. The foregoing agreement of non-use and nondisclosure shall survive any termination or expiration of any agreement between the parties and shall continue in full force and effect for a period of three (3) years from the date of the Agreement. Confidential Information does not include information which: (i) was previously known to Recipient; (ii) was or becomes generally available to the public through no fault of Recipient; (iii) was rightfully in Recipient’s possession free of any obligation of confidentiality at, or prior to, the time it was communicated to Recipient by Discloser; (iv) was developed by employees or agents of Recipient independently of, and without reference to, Confidential Information, or (v) was communicated by Discloser to an unaffiliated third party free of any obligation of confidentiality. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Recipient may disclose Confidential Information of the Discloser in response to a valid order by a court or other governmental body, as otherwise required by law or the rules of any applicable securities exchange, or as necessary to establish the rights of either party under these Terms; provided, however, that both Discloser and Recipient will stipulate to any orders necessary to protect such information from public disclosure.
