DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE
Adviper.com provides its members with the ability to buy
advertising space for, and/or sell advertising space on, their websites.
Advertising is sold on a CPC (Cost Per Click) or CPM
(Cost Per Thousand Impressions) basis for Campaign Placements, and on a monthly recurring rate for Direct Placements. "Direct Placements" or "Site Targeted
Placements" are ad placements in which the advertiser places an ad on a
specific ad unit and on a specific website. Direct Placements are charged to the advertiser as a recurring monthly fee based on the publisher's asking price at the time the ad is placed. "Campaign Placements" or "Run of Network Placements" are
ad placements in which the advertiser places an ad to be shown on multiple
websites, with specified criteria as set forth in the campaign form, and these placements are charged on
either CPC or CPM basis, depending on the campaign objectives. You
understand, as both a publisher and/or an advertiser, that clients may
choose to employ ad-filtering software, or have ad-filtering software
applied to their internet connection. While this implies that not every
viewer of a website will see every ad displayed through Adviper.com, the
majority of internet browsers do not filter our ads. You understand and
agree that while Adviper.com strives to supply ads to every website viewer
that is not filtering them, there may be some readers who elect not to view
the ads. You also understand and agree that the Service may include certain
non-advertising-based communications from Adviper.com, such as administrative
messages and that these communications are considered part of Adviper.com
membership and you will not be able to opt out of receiving them. Unless
explicitly stated otherwise, any new features that augment or enhance the
current Service shall be subject to the TOS (Terms of Service). You understand and agree that
the Service is provided "AS-IS" and that Adviper.com assumes no responsibility
for the timeliness, deletion, mis-delivery or failure to store any user
communications or personalization settings. You are responsible for
obtaining access to the Service, and that access may involve third-party
fees (such as Internet service provider or airtime charges). You are
responsible for those fees, including those fees associated with the display
or delivery of advertisements. In addition, you must provide and are
responsible for all equipment necessary to access the Service. Please be
aware that we do not edit the content on Adviper.com, and therefore there may
be certain areas on the Service that contain adult or mature content. You
must be at least 18 years of age to access and view such areas.

SERVICE DOWNTIME
In the event the site is offline or otherwise critically
unusable for an extended period of time, advertisers will not be charged for
campaign placements, publisher network placements, or run-of-network placements, and
website owners will not receive funds for such placements. This is because
ads were not being displayed.
-
COMPLIANCY
Publishers that are selling ads on their site have an
obligation to keep the ad unit code displayed as long as the ad unit is
active. We employ a script to automatically check up on member sites in
certain circumstances, such as in the event that we do not register hits
from an ad unit for an extended period of time. If this script is unable to
detect the code for our ad units on the site, the ad unit will be
automatically suspended. You agree to allow these occasional, automated
requests of your site.
-
ARTIFICIAL HIT GENERATION
There exist sites which, either for free or for a fee, will
deliver traffic to your site, often by encouraging their members to visit a
site for a few seconds in exchange for credit. Such sites are not
advertising networks, but often describe themselves using phrases like 'auto
hits', 'auto surf', and so on. Usage of such sites is not allowed on
Adviper.com and any publishers found to be employing such services may have
their Adviper.com account suspended, and may be removed from the Service. Any
publishers whose accounts are suspended or removed for such reasons will
lose any and all rights to the funds they have earned on that account, and
will be liable to return all funds (including funds withdrawn) to
Adviper.com.
-

YOUR RELEASE AND WAIVER
You understand and agree that Adviper.com acts as the venue for
sellers to list items and buyers to bid on items in connection with
Adviper.com. Adviper.com is not involved in the actual transaction between
buyers and sellers. Adviper.com does not screen or control users who may sell
or bid on auction items, nor does Adviper.com review or authenticate all
auction listings or items offered for sale. Because Adviper.com is not
involved in the actual transaction between buyers and sellers, in the event
that you have a dispute with one or more users, you release Adviper.com and
its affiliates (and their respective officers, directors, agents and
employees) from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of
every kind and nature, known and unknown, suspected and unsuspected,
disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with such
disputes. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code
�1542, which provides: "A
general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know
or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which
if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the
debtor." Also, as Adviper.com is acting only as a venue, Adviper.com is not
responsible for the collection and remittance of any federal, state or local
taxes. Buyers and sellers are responsible for all tax related issues that
may arise.
-
LEGAL COMPLIANCE
You shall comply with all applicable laws, statutes,
ordinances and regulations regarding your use of Adviper.com and your bidding
on, listing of, purchase of, and sale of any and all items.
-
INTEREST ON FUNDS
You agree that any unclaimed funds credited to your account do
not earn interest, and are not treated as currency.
-
UNCLAIMED FUNDS
If there is no activity on your account for a period of six
months, we reserve the right to close your account, at which point any
unclaimed funds will revert to Adviper.com.
-
Adviper.com RESERVATION OF RIGHTS
Adviper.com expressly reserves the right to, but has no duty to,
refuse, reject or remove any listing in Adviper.com's sole discretion. You
acknowledge and agree that Adviper.com has the right to immediately modify,
suspend or terminate any listings or your account and refuse current or
future use of any Adviper.com service if Adviper.com, in its sole discretion,
believes you have: (i) violated or tried to violate the rights of others; or
(ii) have acted inconsistently with the spirit or letter of these additional
terms or any document incorporated by reference, including, without
limitation, the Adviper.com Guidelines. Your Adviper.com account may be
terminated if you do not use this service at least one time during a
reasonable period of time (as determined by Adviper.com) which will not be
less than three months.

MISCELLANEOUS
This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of California, except for its
conflicts of laws principles. Any dispute or claim arising out of or in
connection with this Agreement shall be adjudicated in Los Angeles County,
California. The parties specifically exclude from application to the
Agreement the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International
Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act. This
Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect
to the subject matter hereof. Any modifications to this Agreement must be
made in a writing executed by both parties, by Your online acceptance of
updated terms, or after Your continued participation in the Program after
such terms have been updated by Adviper.com. The failure to require
performance of any provision shall not affect a party's right to require
performance at any time thereafter, nor shall a waiver of any breach or
default of this Agreement constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach or
default or a waiver of the provision itself. If any provision herein is held
unenforceable, then such provision will be modified to reflect the parties'
intention, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in
full force and effect. You may not resell, assign, or transfer any of Your
rights hereunder. Any such attempt may result in termination of this
Agreement, without liability to Adviper.com. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Adviper.com may assign this Agreement to any affiliate at any time without
notice. The relationship between Adviper.com and You is not one of a legal
partnership relationship, but is one of independent contractors.
