  6. FEES; PAYMENT; DISPUTES; TAXES; SYSTEM OF RECORD
    1. Fees. Company shall pay PubMatic the Fees as set forth in this Agreement and any exhibits. Company acknowledges that it is wholly responsible for payment of Fees for any Transactions entered into through the PubMatic Materials, regardless of the payment terms, including, without limitation, the timing of such payments, between Company and Company’s Advertisers. Fees are billed monthly and in arrears. If Company elects to use PubMatic’s Connect product, the fees and payment terms for Company’s access to Connect are as described in Exhibit C.
    2. Payment. Company will pay PubMatic Fees due to PubMatic as specified in the Exhibit detailing the charges incurred. Payments shall be made in the currency reflected on the applicable Order Form, unless otherwise specified in writing by PubMatic, by wire or ACH, within 30 days from the invoice date. PubMatic, in its sole discretion, may restrict the amounts available to Company for purchasing Advertisements and may suspend Company’s use of the PubMatic Materials in the event Company incurs unpaid invoices which are past due or if there is other evidence of Company’s inability to pay.
    3. Disputes. If Company believes that PubMatic has billed Company incorrectly, Company will provide PubMatic with notice of such dispute and will also provide PubMatic with documentation to support its claim, no later than 30 days after receipt of the invoice. If Company does not raise any issue with such invoice within the aforementioned time period, it forfeits it right to do so. Past due amounts not disputed subject to this Section 6.3 are subject to a finance charge of 1.5% per month on any outstanding balance, or the maximum permitted by Applicable Laws, whichever is lower, along with PubMatic’s collection costs, including but not limited to attorney’s fees.
    4. Taxes. Fees are exclusive of all sales, use, value added, and other taxes and duties, if any. Company is responsible for and must pay all sales, use, value added, stamp, or other taxes and duties of any nature (including any interest, penalty or addition to tax with respect thereto) that are imposed on the fees or as a result of this Agreement and performance under it and for which PubMatic issues an invoice or separately itemizes on an invoice, except for taxes on PubMatic’s net income. Company will promptly reimburse PubMatic for any such tax or duty Company is responsible for that PubMatic is obligated to pay to a tax authority, and Company will indemnify PubMatic and hold PubMatic harmless for any such taxes and duties and other amounts that Company is responsible for. Company will provide PubMatic with appropriate and complete exemption certificates or other documentation satisfactory to applicable tax authorities to substantiate any claim for exemption or reduction of any taxes or duties. If Company is required under applicable law to withhold amounts from any payment of any Fee, then: (a) Company must effect such withholding, timely remit such amounts to the appropriate taxing authorities, and promptly furnish PubMatic with tax receipts evidencing the payments of such amounts; and (b) the sum payable by Company upon which the deduction or withholding is based will be increased to the extent necessary to ensure that, after such deduction or withholding, PubMatic receives and retains, free from liability for such deduction or withholding, a net amount equal to the amount PubMatic would have received and retained in the absence of such required deduction or withholding.
    5. System of Record. PubMatic’s systems are the definitive system of record for calculating Fees and counting impressions, clicks or actions, inventory cost, and unique users. If there is a discrepancy of more than 10% between PubMatic’s count of any chargeable metric and Company’s third-party ad server or a publisher’s ad server, PubMatic will use commercially reasonable efforts to reconcile the discrepancy. All Ads trafficked by Company will be counted as impressions, including Ads that fail to render or render improperly. In the event that the parties are unable to reconcile the discrepancy, PubMatic’s count of such metric will govern.
    6. Advertiser Credit. To the extent that Company is not the Advertiser (i.e. Company is an Agency or is otherwise purchasing facilitating the purchase of ads for or on behalf of the Advertiser), Company accepts and agrees that Advertiser’s credit will be established on an Advertiser-by-Advertiser basis at PubMatic’s discretion. Accordingly, PubMatic has no obligation to provide the PubMatic services to any given Advertiser and may elect not to place ads on behalf of any Advertiser for any reason or no reason. PubMatic may, in its sole discretion, elect to pause or terminate the provision of any PubMatic Services to any Advertiser at any time for any reason or no reason.

EXHIBIT A

ACTIVATE SERVICES & FEES SCHEDULE

Table 1: Activate Services

Activate Fee Element Fee
(A) One-Time Set-up Fee As set forth in the applicable Activate Order Form
(B) Tech Fee % for Open Market purchases (Open Market Tech Fee) As set forth in the applicable Activate Order Form
(C) Tech Fee % for Private Marketplace purchases (Private Marketplace Tech Fee) As set forth in the applicable Activate Order Form
(D) Tech Fee % for Programmatic Guaranteed purchases (Programmatic Guaranteed Tech Fee) As set forth in the applicable Activate Order Form
(E) Managed Service Fee % (for all deal types) As set forth in the applicable Activate Order Form
(F) Optional Third Party Vendor Fees & Additional Fees Variable (as described below or as available in the PubMatic Services and/or provided prior to incurring any liabilities)
(G) Monthly Minimum Tech Fee As set forth in the applicable Activate Order Form
  1. Tech Fee Calculations:
    PubMatic Activate Tech Fees are applied to the total Campaign Spend managed in a given month, on a campaign-by-campaign basis. Fees are calculated by determining the appropriate fee rate and multiplying that fee rate by the applicable Campaign Spend amount.

    For the avoidance of doubt, Managed Service Fees will apply to all campaigns where the parties agree that “Managed Service” will apply. Any Campaign that has been designated as a Managed Service campaign will be charged the Managed Service Fee even if Company elects to use Self-Service Campaign Management functionality to manage the campaign. A “Managed Service” designation may be agreed to between the parties in the form of a written communication where Company directs PubMatic to treat a campaign as “Managed Service” (email to suffice) or via Company’s agreement to a media plan or an insertion order that so designates a campaign as “Managed Service.”

  2. Monthly Minimum Tech Fee:
    If an applicable Activate Order Form includes a Monthly Minimum Tech Fee, in the event that the total Tech Fee calculated per Section I of this Exhibit A for a given month is less than the Monthly Minimum Tech Fee, the Minimum Monthly Tech Fee will apply and the Tech Fee for that month instead shall be the Minimum Monthly Tech Fee (in addition to any optional third party vendor fees or other fees assessed as per this Exhibit A).
  3. Optional Third Party Vendor Fees:
    PubMatic may make Third Party Vendors available to Company via the PubMatic Materials. Any use of Third Party Vendors is at the sole discretion of Company. Fees for the use of Third Party Vendor data and/or services will be reflected in the invoice provided to company at Company’s request. All Third Party fees will be budgeted against Campaign Spend net of PubMatic’s fees.
  4. Additional PubMatic Features and Fees:
    Company may, in Company’s sole discretion, elect to use PubMatic’s “Smart Bidding” functionality. Smart Bidding utilizes machine learning/artificially intelligence-enhanced functionality within the PubMatic’s Activate platform to attempt to maximize the value of Campaign Spend by predictively bidding for the purchase of Ad Inventory below the bidding level indicated by Company (the “Company Bid” which may be chosen by Company by utilizing the “Max Bid” functionality or similar).

    The Smart Bidding Fee is calculated by as 10% of Savings (the “Smart Bidding Fee Rate”). “Savings” is calculated by subtracting the amount of the bid made by Smart Bidding for a purchased Ad Inventory from the Company Bid chosen by Company. For example only, if the Company Bid is $5.00 and the Smart Bidding bid paid is $4.00, then the Savings is $1.00 ($5.00 (Company Bid) – $4.00 (Smart Bidding Bid) = $1.00 (Savings)) and the Smart Bidding Fee would be $0.10 (10% (Smart Bidding Fee Rate) * $1.00 = $0.10 (Smart Bidding Fee)).

    Additional services or products may be available to Company. Such products and/or services may be offered directly to Company by PubMatic’s representatives or may be presented to Company directly in the Activate user interface.
