ATTACHMENT B – TERMS AND CONDITIONS
The parties agree to the following:
The parties’ agreement consists of the Service Order and all Attachments (“Agreement”).
1. License. During the Term and subject to Publisher’s compliance with this Agreement, Overture grants to Publisher a limited, non-exclusive, non-assignable, non-transferable, non-sublicensable (unless explicitly provided for under this Agreement), royalty-free license to use and display the Links and the Results on Publisher’s Offerings, solely for purposes contemplated in this Agreement. The above license includes the limited right to use and reproduce the software code and/or URLs that allow Publisher to create Links and receive Results.
2. Services. Overture will use commercially reasonable efforts to respond to Queries by delivering Results or a response that no Results are being delivered. Overture will determine the number of Results provided for each Query.
3. Publisher’s Offerings. Except as provided for under this Agreement, Publisher shall display the Links and Results on the pages under all of the domain names owned by Publisher, excluding corporate domains * * *, (collectively, the “Designated Sites”). Publisher represents and warrants that, as of the Start Date, the domains set forth on any written schedule of Designated Sites are all of the Designated Sites owned by Publisher. Overture shall have the right to exclude in writing any domains from the Designated Sites in its discretion (collectively, the “Excluded Sites”). For purposes of this Agreement, the Designated Sites, excluding the Excluded Sites, together with all successor web pages, will be included in the definition of “Publisher’s Offerings.” * * *
4. Future Offerings. From time to time, Publisher will provide written notice to Overture of any additional websites or domain names acquired by Publisher (“Proposed Domains”) * * * other than Publisher’s Offerings. Such written notice shall be within * * * following the acquisition of any Proposed Domains. * * * At Overture’s acceptance of any Proposed Domains for inclusion under this Agreement, the parties agree to amend the Agreement to include any such additional Proposed Domains as Designated Sites (excluding any Excluded Sites) within the definition of Publisher’s Offerings.

6. Payment. Overture will pay Publisher within * * * after the end of the * * * in which the Results appeared on Publisher’s Offerings. Payment will be made in US dollars. If Overture or an Overture Related Party’s Advertisers pay Overture or such Overture Related Party in any other currency, Overture will calculate payment using the average exchange rate as published by a nationally recognized source (e.g., Oanda). If the Territory includes countries other than the United States, Publisher acknowledges that payment will only be made after Publisher fulfills Overture’s invoicing requirements (attached hereto as Attachment G) or such other invoicing requirements which Overture may adopt on no less than * * * prior written notice to Publisher. Overture may offset payments by any amounts Publisher owes to Overture, including previous overpayments. In the event that Overture refunds amounts to Advertisers in excess of its payment to Publisher, Publisher will pay Overture for such amounts within * * * of Overture’s request. Overture may make payments only when Publisher’s balance exceeds US $250.00 (or until termination or expiration of this Agreement).
