“ATV Productions UK Limited” will render the Ads on the Sites for the benefit of an Advertiser. At Advertiser’s discretion, an IO may either be submitted by Advertiser to

“ATV Productions UK Limited” or be submitted by “ATV Productions UK Limited”, signed by Advertiser and returned to “ATV Productions UK Limited”. In either case, an IO will be binding only if accepted as provided in Clause 1.2 below. Each IO shall specify: (a) the type(s) and amount(s) of inventory to be delivered (e.g., impressions, clicks or other desired actions) (“the Deliverables”); (b) the price(s) for such Deliverables; (c) the maximum amount of money to be spent pursuant to the IO (if applicable), (d) the start and end dates of the campaign, and (e) the identity of and contact information for any third party ad server ("3rd Party Ad Server"), if applicable.

1.2.  “ATV Productions UK Limited” will make commercially reasonable efforts to notify Advertiser within 2 business days of receipt of an IO signed by Advertiser if “ATV Productions UK Limited’’ is in a position to comply with the Deliverables. Acceptance of the IO and these Terms will be made upon the earlier of (a) written (which, unless otherwise specified, for purposes of these Terms shall include paper, fax, or e-mail communication) approval of the IO by “ATV Productions UK Limited” and Advertiser; or (b) the display of the first Ad impression by “ATV Productions UK Limited” pursuant to the IO, unless the means of acceptance of the IO is otherwise stipulated in the IO. Notwithstanding the foregoing, modifications to the originally submitted IO will not be binding unless signed by both parties.

 

1.3.  Revisions to accepted IO’s shall be made in writing and acknowledged by the other party in writing for such IO to take effect and be binding to both parties.

Where “ATV Productions UK Limited” deviates from the IO, it shall do so only with the prior written approval of the Advertiser, provided that where “ATV Productions UK Limited” is unable to obtain the approval of the Advertiser to any IO (having used its reasonable commercial endeavors to do so), “ATV Productions UK Limited” may deviate from the IO in such a manner and to such an extent as “ATV Productions UK Limited”, acting reasonably, considers to be in the interests of the Advertiser. ATV Productions UK Limited must try to obtain approval from the advertiser by phoning or emailing. If the ATV Productions Limited cannot get hold of the advertiser and proceeds without approval, the deviation must be the minimum deviation necessary in the circumstances.

Should such a modification occur (with” ATV Productions UK Limited” having given notice to the Advertiser in respect thereof as aforesaid), as Advertiser’s sole remedy for change or notice, Advertiser may cancel the remainder of the IO without penalty provided that it provides “ATV Productions UK Limited” with written notice to such effect within 10 days of receipt of the aforesaid notice by Advertiser. If “ATV Productions UK Limited” has failed to provide notice in respect of such a modification, Advertiser (as Advertiser’s sole remedy) may cancel the remainder of the IO immediately and in such case shall not be charged for any affected Ads delivered after the giving of such notice by Advertiser. If the termination is deemed unfair, an impartial third party can be contracted to establish whether the Advertiser was justified in doing so. If they find that the Advertiser was not justified in cancelling the IO, the publisher is entitled to recover payment for the campaign.

 

 

2.3 “ATV Productions UK Limited” will submit or otherwise make electronically accessible to Advertiser within two business days of acceptance of an IO final technical specifications, as determined by “ATV Productions UK Limited”.
