As part of the Services, the Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Advertiser with an option to utilize the Media Cards to conduct its Business through the Platform. The Company shall perform the actions necessary to complete the Services in a timely and professional manner consistent with industry standards, and at a location, place, and time which the Company deems appropriate.
3.2. Media Cards. Upon the Advertiser’s request, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its third-party service providers to issue one or more Media Card(s) in accordance with the credit limits established by the Company and subject to the Company’s and its third party service providers’ approval. The Media Cards shall be in the name of the Company. The Media Cards may be in either physical form, or virtual or digital form, as determined by the Company in its sole discretion. The Media Cards shall be used solely for the purposes of purchasing the Media or advertising in accordance with the instructions and subject to the limits established by the Company. The Advertiser may elect to purchase the Media or advertising utilizing the Media Cards through the Platform or through another third party advertising platform. The Advertiser shall be at all times responsible for all amounts charged on the Media Cards by the Advertiser or on its behalf.
3.3. Account. The Services are at all times conditioned upon the availability of a positive Account Balance in the Account. In accordance with the Terms of Use, the Advertiser may establish a positive Account Balance in the Account through one of the means described in Section 3.4 below. The Advertiser understands and acknowledges that the Account is not a demand deposit (checking) account, savings account, or other asset or bank account. The Advertiser will not receive any interest on the funds maintained in the Account.

The payments for the Services, the Fees, and the Media Spend of the Advertiser, including any balances owed on the Media Card(s) used by or on behalf of the Advertiser for the Advertiser’s Media Spend, whether conducted through the Platform or third party providers, will be done through the Account. To the extent the Advertiser has a positive Account Balance in the Account, it may utilize the available Account Balance for payment of the Services, the Fees and its Media Spend. The Advertiser may have a positive Account Balance in the Account by virtue of payments received by the Company from advertisers for the Advertiser’s prior marketing campaigns conducted through the Platform, which were credited by the Company to the Account and have not yet been spent by the Advertiser. To the extent the Advertiser does not have a positive Account Balance in the Account, the Company will elect, in its sole discretion, upon written notice to the Advertiser, to utilize one of the following payment mechanisms:
1) Prepayment via Designated Account. The Company may elect to require the Advertiser to prepay for the Services, the Fees and any related Media Spend. In such case, the Company will establish and maintain one or more Designated Account(s) with a financial institution of its choosing. The Advertiser agrees to deposit readily available funds denominated in U.S. dollars into such Designated Account(s) as instructed by the Company. The Company shall have right, in its sole discretion, to change the Designated Account(s), and to transfer any funds deposited by the Advertiser into any newly Designated Account(s) established by the Company. The Company will credit the Account in the amount of the corresponding deposits made by the Advertiser to the Designated Account(s). Subject to the limits established by the Company, the Advertiser’s Purchase Limit will generally be based on the total amount of readily available funds deposited by the Advertiser into the Designated Account(s) that have not yet been spent by the Advertiser less any Fees and other charges.
2) Invoicing. The Company may elect, in its sole discretion, to extend credit to the Advertiser and invoice the Advertiser for the Services, the Fees and any related Media Spend on a monthly basis. In such case, the Company will establish a Purchase Limit for the Advertiser and allow the Advertiser to utilize the Media Cards for Media Spend up to the Purchase Limit. The Company will then invoice the Advertiser monthly for the Fees and all amounts owed on the Media Card(s) used by or on behalf of the Advertiser to purchase the Media or advertising. All invoiced amounts shall be due no later than thirty (30) days after the date of invoice. The Advertiser agrees to provide the Company with complete and accurate billing and contact information. A service charge of 1.0% per month or the highest lawful interest rate permitted by law, whichever is lower, shall be applied to all amounts which are not paid when due under this Agreement, accruing from the due date. The Advertiser shall make all payments in U.S. dollars by electronic transfer, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the parties, and hereby authorizes the Company, through the use of ACH entries, to debit the account designated by the Advertiser for all amounts owed under this Agreement and, if necessary, to reverse all or part of any such debit. Unless revoked in accordance with the Applicable Laws, this authorization shall be effective throughout the term of this Agreement.
3.5. Transaction Accounting. The Company will provide the Advertiser with access to a Transaction Report that contains an accounting of the Media Spend made each day, segregated by the Media Card utilized for each purchase. The Advertiser will be provided with a unique user name and password to access to the Transaction Report. The Advertiser shall safeguard its user name and password and not share it with unauthorized individuals.
3.6. Reserve. The Company may, in its sole discretion, require the Advertiser to establish a Reserve, which shall be excluded for purposes of determining the Purchase Limit.
3.7. Purchase Limit and Other Restrictions. The Advertiser’s Media Spend shall not on any given day exceed its Purchase Limit. If the Media Spend on any given day exceeds its Purchase Limit, the Company shall have the absolute right and discretion to undertake any or all of the following actions: (i) suspend the Services and/or the Advertiser’s use of the Platform; (ii) revoke and/or freeze the Advertiser’s ability to utilize the Media Cards to purchase the Media or advertising; or (ii) reverse or challenge any of the transactions which caused the Media Spend to exceed the Purchase Limit. The Company and/or its service providers may decrease or increase the Advertiser’s Purchase Limit at any time, in its sole discretion, based, among other things, on the funds available in the Designated Account, transaction history of the Media Card purchases, and related risk considerations. The aggregate amount available for charges on the Media Cards at any given time will be determined by the Advertiser’s spending limit, available funds in the Designated Account (if applicable), and any holds and/or outstanding unpaid invoices. The Company and/or its services provider(s) may establish limits on the types of merchants with which the Media Cards may be used, as well as restrict the maximum amount of any particular charge and the number of charges allowed for the Media Cards. The Company is not responsible for losses resulting from declined or reversed charges, or if a third party refuses to honor a Media Card.
3.8. Authorized Users. The Advertiser may authorize one or more Authorized Users to access the Platform, make Media Spend transactions, and use the Media Cards or the Services on its behalf. To be eligible to use the Services, each Authorized User must be at least 18 years old and a resident of the United States. The Advertiser agrees to be solely responsible for any actions undertaken by each of its Authorized Users with respect to the Services, whether or not authorized by the Advertiser.
4. Compensation.
4.1. Fees. As consideration for its use of the Services, the Advertiser agrees to pay the Company a monthly Subscription Fee, which shall be due and payable by the Advertiser on the first day of every full or partial calendar month during the term of this Agreement.

The Schedule of Fees may be changed or amended by the Company from time to time in its sole discretion effective as of the date of posting on the Company’s website upon reasonable prior notice to the Advertiser. The Advertiser hereby consents to the Company’s withdrawal of the Fees from the Account or the Designated Account(s). With the exception of third-party fees, the Fees shall be deemed earned by the Company under this Agreement and included in the Company’s income.
4.2. Reimbursement of Expenses. The Advertiser agrees to reimburse the Company for all reasonable and customary business-related expenses not set forth on the Schedule of Fees, provided the Company obtains the Advertiser’s prior written consent. At the Advertiser’s request, the Company will furnish the Advertiser with copies of receipts and other customary documentation for any expenses for which the Company requests reimbursement hereunder. The Advertiser hereby consents to the Company’s withdrawal of the approved expenses from the Account immediately upon them being due pursuant to this Paragraph 4.
4.3. Third Party Media Spend. If the Advertiser elects to purchase the Media or advertising utilizing the Media Cards through third party providers rather than through the Platform, the amounts of such Media Spend shall not be deemed earned by the Company inasmuch as the Company will be invoiced or charged for such Media Spend by the appropriate third party provider.
4.4. Refunds. Subject to the payment of any appropriate Fees and third party service providers (if applicable), the Advertiser may request a refund of any unspent funds in the Account and the return of the Reserve.
