KEYNES ADDENDUM TO THE AAAA/IAB STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR INTERNET ADVERTISING FOR MEDIA BUYS ONE YEAR OR LESS, VERSION

This addendum (the “Addendum”) supplements and is made a part of the American Association of Advertising Agencies and Interactive Advertising Bureau Standard Terms and Conditions for Internet Adverting for Media Buys One Year or Less, Version 3.0 (located at https://www.iab.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/IAB_4As-tsandcs-FINAL.pdf, as such location may be updated by the IAB from time to time) (the “IAB Media Terms”). Terms defined in the IAB Media Terms shall have the same meaning in this Addendum unless otherwise stated herein. The parties agree that the IAB Media Terms and this Addendum (hereafter collectively referred to as the “Agreement”) shall govern all media buys between Agency and Media Company entered into pursuant to an IO referencing this Agreement. Any conflict between the terms set forth in this Agreement and the terms set forth in any IO shall be resolved in accordance with Section XIV.d. of the IAB Media Terms, as modified in this Addendum. The terms of the IO, along with this Agreement, supersede all terms and conditions previously agreed upon regarding the subject matter of such media buys.

For any IO entered directly between Advertiser and Media Company, all references to “Agency” in the IAB Media Terms and this Addendum will refer to the Advertiser and Sections X.c. and XII.h. of the IAB Media Terms will not apply. For any IO entered between an Agency on behalf of its Advertiser: (a) Agency represents and warrants that it has the authority as Advertiser’s agent to bind Advertiser to this Agreement and each IO, and that all of Agency’s actions related to this Agreement and each IO will be within the scope of such agency; (b) upon request, Agency will make available to Media Company written confirmation of the relationship between Agency and Advertiser which could include, for example, Advertiser’s acknowledgment that Agency is its agent and is authorized to act on its behalf in connection with the IO and this Agreement; and (c) upon request Agency will confirm whether Advertiser has paid to Agency in advance funds sufficient to make payments pursuant to the IO.

The information contained in this Agreement and the applicable IO is confidential and proprietary to Media Company. For purposes of clarity, the terms of this Agreement and the applicable IO shall not be shared by Agency or Advertiser with any individuals or entities except where required to manage the media buys subject to the terms of the Agreement, or otherwise effectuate the terms of the Agreement, and only in the event such individuals or entities are subject to confidentiality obligations at least as protective as those set forth herein.
