Privacy Policy
-
The following terms and conditions (this "Agreement") is a legal
agreement between GoalOfferss ("GoalOfferss"), and PUBLISHER.
PUBLISHER and GoalOfferss may also be individually referred to
herein as a "Party" and collectively as "Parties." If there is any
conflict between these Terms and Conditions and the Insertion
Order(s), the Insertion Order(s) shall control.
-
1.) Service: PUBLISHER will display the Advertisement and perform
lead generation services described in the attached Insertion Order.
"Advertisement" means the advertisement, including any copy
including questions and or text ads, graphic, sound, video,
programming code and/or other content that comprises the
advertisement, as well as the websites to which an advertisement is
linked if applicable. GoalOfferss hereby grants to PUBLISHER
during the Contract Period a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide
right and license by all means and in any media, whether now known
or hereafter discovered, to use, reproduce, distribute, publicly
perform, publicly display and digitally perform such Advertisement
and all its constituent parts.
-
2.) Qualified Lead Definition (Qualified Leads): Qualified Leads are
prospects who meet GoalOfferss’s screening criteria as described
in the Insertion Order and who provide their complete contact data.
PUBLISHER will be paid on a delivered per lead basis defined as when
a user agrees through a pre approved opt-in method to be contacted.
In the case of any dispute between the parties as to the number of
Qualified Leads, GoalOfferss’s numbers will control.
-
3.) Lead Validation Procedure:
GoalOfferss will verify each Qualified Lead delivered by the
PUBLISHER. Upon receipt, all Qualified Leads will be checked for
data validity (i.e. containing valid data inputs for the fields
specified in the Insertion Order) and uniqueness of data (i.e. that
the Qualified Leads are not present in GoalOfferss’s database for
the designated Advertisement in the past 60 days). GoalOfferss
reserves the right to send an auto-responder to all respondents
re-confirming their request for information. Any objections from
respondents (about the email, or the offer) will be raised to the
PUBLISHER.
-
4.) Creative Changes: Editing of GoalOfferss’s Creative is
strictly prohibited, without prior written approval from GoalOfferss. Creative includes, but is not limited to, text ads, graphic
ads, from and subject line, any copy associated with the campaign
including survey questions and answers. Any changes to Creative,
without prior written permission will result in the loss of payment
of Leads.
-
5.) Compliance: GoalOfferss will actively monitor PUBLISHER
activity using a combination of its proprietary software and third
party monitoring services. It is the obligation of PUBLISHER to
prove to GoalOfferss that they are not committing fraud. GoalOfferss will hold PUBLISHER payment in ‘Pending Status’ until
PUBLISHER has satisfactorily provided evidence that PUBLISHER is not
defrauding the system. GoalOfferss flags accounts that: Have
click-through rates that are much higher than industry averages and
where solid justification is not evident; Have only click programs
generating clicks with no indication by site traffic that it can
sustain the clicks reported; Have shown fraudulent leads as
determined by our clients or Use fake redirects, automated software,
and/or fraud to generate clicks or leads. If PUBLISHER is unable to
prove to GoalOfferss that PUBLISHER is not committing fraud,
PUBLISHER will forfeit its entire commission for all programs and
PUBLISHER’s account will be terminated. GoalOfferss reserves sole
judgment in determining fraud.
-
6.) Advertising Guidelines: PUBLISHER may, in its complete
discretion, reject, cancel or remove at any time any Advertisement
from the service for any reason without prior notice to GoalOfferss. PUBLISHER must notify GoalOfferss following the
rejection, cancellation or removal of any Advertisement from the
service within 24 hours.
-
7.) Term & Target Launch: Term will be one (1) month from the
target launch of the initial campaign as noted in the Insertion
Order. Agreement may continue thereafter by mutual consent but may
be terminated by either party for any reason whatsoever. All
legitimate moneys due to PUBLISHER will be paid during the next
billing cycle. If PUBLISHER defrauds the system, then payment is
revoked as determined solely by GoalOfferss.
-
8.) Payment: PUBLISHER will invoice GoalOfferss on a monthly basis
at the payout rates reflected in the Insertion Order. The invoice
will reflect delivery of final Qualified Lead numbers that are based
upon numbers reported by GoalOfferss to PUBLISHER pursuant to the

payment from ADVERTISER for any reason including, but not limited
to, traffic provided by PUBLISHER, GoalOfferss shall have no
obligation to make payment to PUBLISHER.

one (1) year thereafter, accurate records relating to amounts due
hereunder (the “Relevant Records”). Either party shall have a right
at least once per calendar year to audit the Relevant Records of the
other party for the purpose of verifying fulfillment of party’s
payment obligations pursuant to this Agreement. Each audit will be
conducted at a place agreed to by the parties, during the normal
business hours, with at least ten (10) business days prior written
notice to party to be audited. Auditing party shall pay the fees and
expenses of the audit, unless the audit reveals a payment
