BBM Paid Media Purchase Terms

When You place on Order for Paid Media, You are agreeing to the following terms and conditions (the "Purchase Terms"):

  1. PAID MEDIA ORDERS
    1. Orders. Unless otherwise agreed by BlackBerry, an order for Paid Media ("Order") is issued by You to BlackBerry in a form provided by BlackBerry. Subject to the cancellation provisions below, the Order is binding on You and may not be rescinded once submitted to BlackBerry. Performance by BlackBerry constitutes acceptance of the Order.

    2. Cancellation. You may cancel an Order by providing us with 2 business days prior written notice at ordercancellation@blackberry.com. You will not be charged for any ad units delivered following such notice period.

    3. Campaign Shortfall. If there is a shortfall in delivery of Paid Media ordered of more than 5% at the end of the applicable campaign period, we may provide, as Your sole remedy, "make good" Paid Media through comparable placements, to be delivered no later than 60 days following the applicable scheduled campaign end date.

  2. YOUR CONTENT
    1. Your Content. Unless otherwise noted on the Order, You shall provide Your Content (including, without limitation, artwork, copy, active URLs, and scheduling instructions) to us in compliance with generally accepted standards of good practice in the industry and in accordance with specifications required by us. We retain a continuing right to reject or withdraw Your Content, including, but not limited to, the right to reject or withdraw for unsatisfactory technical quality, objectionable or unlawful content, or incorrect or inaccurate information, as determined by us in our sole discretion. We may copy and store Your Content during the distribution thereof as we deem appropriate to optimize the performance of content distribution. We may further use, in an aggregated form for analysis and optimization purposes, data and campaign information submitted by You or resulting from Your placement of Paid Media, including, without limitation, actions taken by users who interact with the Paid Media.

    2. Guidelines and Standards. Your Content must comply with Our Content Guidelines, as may be amended from time to time, and which can be viewed at www.blackberry.com/legal/bbmcontentguidelines.

  3. FEES AND PAYMENT
    1. Payment. You agree to pay all fees set forth in an Engagement Form or Order or as otherwise agreed in respect of any order for Paid Media accepted by us ("Fees").

    2. Payment Terms. For transactions that require payment by way of credit card, You will provide us with valid and current credit card information for a credit card supported by the BBM Paid Media Services and You authorize us to charge such credit card account for all Fees. We may obtain preapproval for an amount up to the amount of the applicable order. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Engagement Form or Order (for example, in respect of services that are billed in arrears on a weekly or monthly basis), charges will be made in advance in accordance with the billing frequency set forth in the applicable Engagement Form or Order. Where payment other than by credit card is specified, we will invoice You for the applicable Fees in the currency set forth in the applicable Engagement Form or Order. You are responsible for providing complete and accurate billing and contact information to us and notifying us of any changes to such information. All Fees are payable in the currency set forth in the applicable Engagement Form or Order. Unless otherwise set forth in the applicable Engagement Form or Order, all invoices are to be paid within 30 days of the date of invoice. Any disputed amounts shall not affect payment of non-disputed amounts. You shall make payments to the BlackBerry entity and address set forth in the invoice.

    3. Late Payment. We may, at our discretion, charge interest on late payments at the rate of 1.5% of the outstanding balance per month, or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is lower. In addition, without limiting our other rights and remedies, we may suspend Your use of the BBM Paid Media Services if payment by You is overdue.

    4. Taxes. Unless otherwise stated, our fees do not include any taxes, levies, duties, or similar governmental assessments of any nature, including but not limited to value-added, sales, use, or withholding taxes, assessable by any local, state, provincial, federal, or foreign jurisdiction (collectively, "Taxes"). You are responsible for paying all Taxes associated with Your purchases hereunder. If we have the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which You are responsible under this paragraph, the appropriate amount shall be invoiced to and paid by You, unless You provide us with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority. For clarity, we are solely responsible for taxes assessable against us based on our income, property and employees. We reserve the right to increase (prospectively or retrospectively, as applicable) the applicable Fees in the event any withholding tax obligation, as determined by You to be applicable, prevents us from receiving the entirety of the applicable Fees.

  4. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
    1. Definition. As used in these Purchase Terms, "Confidential Information" means any information disclosed by a Party to the other Party in connection with the subject matter hereof that is either specifically identified as confidential prior to or at the time of its disclosure or would reasonably be considered confidential in the circumstances. Our Confidential Information includes non-publically disclosed portions of the BBM Paid Media Services, including the pricing for Paid Media. Confidential Information shall not include information that: (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of its disclosure (A) by the receiving Party or its representatives in breach of these Purchase Terms or (B) which the receiving Party knows (or ought reasonably to have known having made reasonable enquiry) to have been in breach of any other undertaking of confidentiality addressed to the disclosing Party (except that any compilation of otherwise public information in a form not publicly known shall nevertheless be treated as Confidential Information); or (ii) was lawfully in the possession of the receiving Party before the information was disclosed to it by the disclosing Party and continues to be held in accordance with the terms on which it was obtained; or (iii) is developed by the receiving Party independently of the information disclosed by the disclosing Party; or (iv) the Parties agree in writing is not confidential.

    2. Obligations. The receiving Party shall use the same degree of care to prevent the unauthorized use, reproduction or disclosure of the disclosing Party's Confidential Information as it uses to protect its own confidential information, but in no event shall it use less than a reasonable degree of care. The receiving Party shall also only permit access to the disclosing Party's Confidential Information by its and its Affiliates employees, contractors, and agents who have a need to know for purposes consistent with these Purchase Terms and who are subject to confidentiality obligations that are consistent with the confidentiality obligations of these Purchase Terms. Neither Party shall use the Confidential Information of the other Party for any purpose other than to exercise their rights and fulfill their obligations under these Purchase Terms. The receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the disclosing Party if it is compelled by law to do so, provided the receiving Party gives the disclosing Party prior notice (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the disclosing Party's cost, if the disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure.
