2.2 Notwithstanding Section 2.1 and the Commencement Date of the Contract, the terms and conditions of the Contract (in accordance with the Order and these Terms) shall take effect from the date of countersignature of the Order (the “Effective Date”). For the purposes of all Contracts for the sale of Ad inventory subject to LiveScore’s class II licence for affiliate marketing of the National Gambling Office of Romania, the date of conclusion of each Contract shall be the Effective Date of the relevant Order.

3 DELIVERY OF ADVERTISING MATERIALS AND AD PLACEMENT

3.1 Advertiser or Agency (as applicable) shall provide the Advertising Materials no later than three (3) Business Days in advance of the campaign start date (unless otherwise agreed by the parties) in the format requested by LiveScore and in accordance with the Policies and the requirements of Section 7.3.

3.2 LiveScore may submit, or otherwise make electronically accessible to Advertiser and/or Agency (as applicable) its Policies as soon as reasonably necessary in advance of the campaign start date and, in any event, in reasonable time prior to LiveScore's required date for delivery of the Advertising Materials. For the avoidance of doubt, LiveScore shall not be under any obligation to provide its Policies for any or all LiveScore Properties applicable to the Contract, nor shall the provision of a Policy in respect of any particular LiveScore Property be deemed to be a commitment by LiveScore to deliver Advertising Materials or display Ads on that LiveScore Property. In the event of conflict between these Terms and the terms of the Policies, these Terms shall prevail.

3.3 If Advertising Materials are not received by the Order start date, LiveScore shall be entitled to charge Advertiser on the Order start date on a pro-rata basis based on the full Order (excluding portions consisting of performance-based, non-guaranteed inventory) for each full day the Advertising Materials are not received.

In addition, LiveScore may at its sole discretion reject or remove from LiveScore Properties any Ads for which the Advertising Materials or the website to which an Ad is linked are, or may tend to bring, disparagement, ridicule, or otherwise damage the goodwill and reputation of LiveScore or any LiveScore Affiliates, or which, if placed on LiveScore Properties, would breach any Applicable Laws and/or Policies.

3.5 LiveScore may edit or modify the submitted Ads in any way, including, but not limited to, resizing Ads, with Advertiser's prior approval.

3.6 Subject to any campaigns having been specifically agreed by the parties in the Order, LiveScore shall be entitled to distribute Ads on those LiveScore Properties that it elects in its sole discretion.

4.1 The price payable by Advertiser to LiveScore shall be as set out in the Order.

4.2 Invoices will be sent to Agency's or Advertiser's (as applicable) billing address as set out in the Order.

4.3 Invoices shall be provided as specified in the Order: (i) based on a fixed cost, payable in advance; or (ii) the actual delivery of Ad impressions in accordance with a cost per thousand impressions of Ads delivered, payable in arrears. Where invoicing Agency, LiveScore shall invoice Agency with the net cost (i.e. the cost after subtracting Agency's commission, if any).Advertiser or Agency (as applicable) shall pay each invoice in full and cleared funds upon receipt of the invoice and, in any event, no later than 14 days from the invoice date, unless otherwise agreed in the Order.

4.4 Advertiser or Agency (as applicable) shall pay each invoice via bank transfer in the currency agreed in the Order and in accordance with the bank details provided in the Order.

4.5 Where LiveScore is required to be paid via the payment platform of Advertiser and/or Agency (as applicable), the parties hereby agree that any terms and conditions of such platform (the “Advertiser Terms”) shall not be applicable to LiveScore, the Contract or any relevant payments due under any Order in accordance with Section 2.3. Notwithstanding any purported, alleged or inadvertent acceptance by LiveScore of any Advertiser Terms following the conclusion of the Contract, these Terms shall supersede any and all such Advertiser Terms in accordance with Section 2.3. The parties further agree that, unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing by the parties, LiveScore and the relevant LiveScore Property shall not be deemed by virtue of entering into the Contract, placing Ads and/or receiving payments for them, to be an affiliate of or otherwise affiliated with any Advertiser and/or Agency or their services and/or platforms (including any service or platform affiliated with Advertiser and/or Agency), notwithstanding any requirement for LiveScore to be paid via an affiliate payment platform of Advertiser and/or Agency.

4.6 If Advertiser or Agency (as applicable) fails to pay LiveScore by the due date any amount payable by it under the Contract for any reason, LiveScore shall have the right but not the obligation to charge interest on the overdue amount (compounded quarterly) from the due date up to the date of actual payment at a rate of four percent (4%) per annum above the base rate for the time being of National Westminster Bank plc.

4.7 Where the Contract has been entered into via an Agency on behalf of Advertiser:

4.7.1 If Agency has been invoiced and payment has not been made by Agency by the due date, LiveScore shall have the right but not the obligation to seek payment directly from Advertiser(s).

4.7.2 Agency agrees to use all reasonable endeavours to collect and clear payment from Advertiser on a timely basis.

4.7.3 Upon request by LiveScore, Agency will make available to LiveScore written confirmation of the relationship between Agency and Advertiser. This confirmation should include, for example, Advertiser’s acknowledgement that Agency is its agent and is authorised to act on its behalf in connection with the Contract. In addition, upon the request of LiveScore, Agency will confirm whether Advertiser has paid to Agency in advance funds sufficient to make payments pursuant to the Order.

4.7.4 If Advertiser’s or Agency’s credit is or becomes impaired, LiveScore shall be entitled to require payment in advance.

4.8 LiveScore will monitor delivery of Ads and, in the case of probable or actual under-delivery of any guaranteed Deliverables (if specified in the Order) that is caused by LiveScore's act or omission, LiveScore may arrange for a makegood consistent with these Terms with Advertiser and/or Agency (as applicable). For the avoidance of doubt, makegoods shall not be available for any Deliverables that are not guaranteed or that may vary as specified in the Order. If the actual Deliverables for any campaign fall below the guaranteed levels specified in the Order, and/or if there is an omission of any Ad (placement or creative unit), the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to agree upon the conditions of a makegood flight, either under the Order or at the time of the shortfall. If no makegood can be agreed upon, the parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to agree an alternative solution. If no alternative solution can be agreed upon, the sole and exclusive remedy of Advertiser or Agency shall be to receive a refund to the value of the under-delivered portion of the Order for which it was charged. Where no alternative solution can be agreed upon and Advertiser or Agency made a cash prepayment to LiveScore specifically for the campaign for which under-delivery applies, then provided that there are no overdue sums payable by Advertiser or Agency to LiveScore under the Contract or any other agreement, then the sole and exclusive remedy of Advertiser or Agency shall be to receive a refund for the under-delivery equal to the difference between the applicable pre-payment and the value of the delivered portion of the campaign.

5 AD SERVING AND TRACKING

5.1 LiveScore will track delivery of Ads through its ad server, and the measurement used for invoicing advertising fees under the Order shall be calculated using LiveScore’s ad server.

5.2 Where Advertiser and/or Agency (as applicable) seeks to track delivery of Ads, it shall use an ad server and provide tracking tags for incorporation into Ads that are compatible with LiveScore Properties and LiveScore’s ad server.

5.3 Any tracking of delivery of Ads by Advertiser and/or Agency (as applicable) shall be carried out to minimise discrepancies with LiveScore’s Ad tracking figures.

Where Advertiser or Agency made a cash prepayment to LiveScore specifically for the campaign for which under-delivery applies, then provided that there are no overdue sums payable by Advertiser or Agency to LiveScore under the Contract or any other agreement, then the sole and exclusive remedy of Advertiser or Agency under this Section 6.8 shall be to receive a refund for the under-delivery equal to the difference between the applicable pre-payment and the value of the delivered portion of the campaign.

In entering into the Contract, the parties have not relied on any statement, representation, warranty, understanding, undertaking, promise or assurance (whether negligently or innocently made) of any person other than as expressly set out in the Contract. Each party irrevocably and unconditionally waives all claims, rights and remedies which but for this Section 15.4 it might otherwise have had in relation to any of the foregoing. Nothing in this Section 15.4 shall exclude or restrict the liability of either party arising out of its pre-contract fraudulent misrepresentation or fraudulent concealment.

15.5 A person who is not a party to the Contract has no right (including under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999('Act')) to rely upon or enforce any term of the Contract but this does not affect any right or remedy of a third party which exists or is available apart from that Act.

15.6 Nothing in the Contract is intended to or shall operate to create a partnership or joint venture of any kind between the parties.

15.7 Any provision of the Contract that is expressly or by implication intended to come into or continue in force on or after termination or expiry of the Contract shall remain in full force and effect.

For the avoidance of doubt, in such circumstances and in the event that any Deliverables have not been delivered by the end of the foregoing period, Advertiser and Agency acknowledge and agree that no party shall be entitled to any makegood procedure that may usually be available under Section 4.8 beyond the end of the foregoing period, and LiveScore shall have no liability to deliver any additional Deliverables or refund to Advertiser or Agency any amounts equivalent to the value of any portion of the Deliverables that were guaranteed but not delivered during the Term of the Contract.

15.9 Termination or expiry of the Contract shall not affect any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities of the parties that have accrued up to the date of termination or expiry, including the right to claim damages in respect of any breach of the Contract which existed at or before the date of termination or expiry.

15.10 Any waiver of a breach of any of the terms of Contract shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach and shall in no way affect the other terms of the Contract.

15.11 Advertiser or Agency shall not without the prior written consent of LiveScore assign at law or in equity (including by way of a charge or declaration of trust), sub-license or deal in any other manner with the Contract or any right under the Contract, or sub-contract any or all of its obligations under them or purport to do any of the same. Any purported assignment in breach of this Section 15.11 shall confer no rights on the purported assignee.

15.12 LiveScore shall be entitled to sub-contract any or all of its obligations and/or sub-license any or all of its rights under the Contract. LiveScore may assign, novate or transfer its rights and obligations under the Contract to any third party, provided however that LiveScore shall procure that the assignee complies with the terms and conditions of the Contract.

15.13 If any provision of the Contract shall be found by any court or administrative body of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the other provisions of the Contract which shall remain in full force and effect. If any provision of the Contract is so found to be invalid or unenforceable but would be valid or enforceable if some part of the provision were deleted, the provision in question shall apply with such modification(s) as may be necessary to make it valid.

15.14 The validity, construction and performance of the Contract (and any claim, dispute or matter arising under or in connection with it or its enforceability or formation) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England. Each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts over any such claim, dispute or matter arising under or in connection with the Contract and waives any objection to proceedings in such courts on the grounds of venue or on the grounds that proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum.

BRAND SAFETY POLICY

LiveScore Limited (“LiveScore”) is committed to, and indeed takes, advertiser brand safety very seriously. We want advertisers to feel comfortable with the environment through which their brand is communicated.

All advertisers must agree to our Advertising Terms and Conditions. We also have guidelines on the types of advertising that we don’t accept on our site and apps, which can be found in our Advertising Terms and Conditions and Advertising Guidelines (Annex 1).

All ads will appear on sites and apps owned and operated by LiveScore. The majority of these ads will appear alongside statistics and scores, which update in real time. Some ads will appear alongside our news feature. The content on our news feature is strictly sports-related and is either written by the LiveScore editorial team or by a third party content provider. We enter into agreements with such third parties in order to safeguard the types of content permitted on LiveScore.

All digital advertising campaigns are managed and vetted by our internal team. For Programmatic services, we have category blocks in place and additionally, we have many URL blocks installed on the site.

Our advertising and technical teams monitor delivery of inventory and have full transparency and visibility on where advertisements are running so that we are enabled to take rapid action to deal with any brand safety issues. If our team finds an advertisement that is considered at risk of inappropriateness, we will investigate and take action. We also take reasonable steps to resolve any ad take-down request promptly. Typically, we remove ads that breach our Advertising Terms and Conditions, or Guidelines within one working day (“working day” meaning Monday-Friday in the UK). We encourage advertisers who have concerns over the placement of their ads to contact us at ad.ops@livescore.com.
