Each of the Advertisements offered by AdCafe will include a special transaction tracking pixel, code and/or other technology or methodology provided by Company to AdCafe, that Company will use or embed in Advertisements for commission tracking purposes (the “Tracking Pixel”). AdCafe will provide the Company with the tools to help establish the Tracking Pixel in Advertisements, and neither AdCafe nor Company will knowingly, modify, circumvent, impair, disable or otherwise interfere with the tracking functions of any Tracking Pixel. Company may monitor and calculate commissions due and owing based upon data received from the Tracking Pixel. AdCafe shall also have the right to independently track conversions based on the Tracking Pixel. If AdCafe’s conversion data is different from Company, AdCafe shall take such information into consideration, but all decisions made by the AdCafe in connection with the Advertisements, including the associated commissions, shall be binding on the Company. AdCafe will provide Company with reporting on the converted offers that create payable transactions for each Advertising Campaign (“Payable Transaction”). This report shall include, without limitation, the number and amount of such transactions, the Company that generated the transaction, and the date of such transactions (“Advertising Reports”). The data in such Advertising Reports shall be used, in part, by AdCafe to calculate the payments due to the Company. If, due to any impairment of the Tracking Pixel or any other reason, AdCafe is unable or fails to provide Company with accurate and/or complete Advertising Reports, AdCafe shall calculate Payable Transactions based upon (i) the average monthly Payable Transactions for the applicable Campaign, prorated for any shorter or longer period of time, where data is available to calculate a monthly average; or (ii) such amount that AdCafe reasonably determines is due and owing, in its sole discretion, where data needed to calculate AdCafe’s average monthly Payable Transactions is unavailable.

Reporting on conversion (sales), Leads, registrations, acquisitions and/or clicks and associated statistics are the sole responsibility of the Company. Reports shall be made available online or submitted daily to AdCafe via e-mail in Excel format unless otherwise agreed to by the parties. Reports will reflect daily and cumulative gross conversion numbers for each tracking link. In the event of a discrepancy between Company’s reporting and Advertiser’s reporting, the Parties will work in good faith to reconcile the difference. In the event of further discrepancies, Company shall be paid based on AdCafe’s tracking until an audit may reveal the final numbers. AdCafe shall have the right to examine, inspect, audit, review and copy or make extracts from all such books, records and any source documents whether electronic or paper used in calculate the Leads sent.

If any fraudulent activity is the result of actions of an affiliate or third-party, Company agrees to not allow such affiliate or third-party guilty of fraudulent activity to run any AdCafe offers. Company agrees to provide AdCafe the affiliate number of each affiliate that runs AdCafe’s offers in order to enable AdCafe to pinpoint Leads coming from particular affiliates or third-parties that are inconsistent with the provisions of this Section.
