ATTACHMENT B – TERMS AND CONDITIONS
The parties agree to the following:
The agreement of the parties consists of the Service Order and all Attachments (“Agreement”).

The above license includes the limited right to use and reproduce the software code and/or URLs that allow Publisher to create Links, send Queries from Publisher’s Offerings to Overture and receive, transmit and display Results.
2. Services. Overture will [*] respond to Queries by delivering Results or a response that no Results are being delivered. [*] Publisher further acknowledges and agrees that, except as provided in this Agreement, Publisher will not be entitled to, nor seek, [*].

3. Publisher's Offerings. This Agreement applies to the Publisher’s Offerings as defined in Section 31 below.
4. Future Offerings.

The parties may amend the SO to include such additional offerings. [*]
5. Compensation. |
(a) | [*] |
(b) | [*] |
6. Payment. For each month during the Term, Overture or Overture Related Parties will pay Publisher in accordance with the SO within [*] days after the end of the calendar month in which the relevant Results appeared on Publisher's Offerings (“Payment Period”). All payments (a) with respect to the U.S. and Canada will be made in US dollars, (b) with respect to the United Kingdom will be made in British pounds, and (c) with respect to all other countries in the Territory will be made in Euros. 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).

Overture may offset payments by any amounts Publisher owes to Overture, including previous overpayments and any Multimedia Fees earned by Overture during the Payment Period. In the event that Overture refunds amounts to Advertisers in excess of its payment to Publisher and there are no future payments to Publisher to offset against, Publisher will pay Overture for such amounts within [*] days 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). Except as specifically set forth in this Section, Overture will retain all revenues derived from or in connection with its services.
7. Reports.

8. Audits. [*] each year during the Term and for [*] after the Term, at the expense of the auditing party, Publisher and Overture may review the other party’s records to confirm compliance with the terms of this Agreement.

The parties intend the foregoing to provide the maximum protection for each party’s respective trade secrets. Overture acknowledges and agrees that, subject to the exclusions set forth in the definition of Confidential Information in Section 31 below, any information Publisher provides to Overture hereunder for the purpose of obtaining or maintaining Overture’s approval of an Affiliate or Syndication Site or Application, including without limitation the identity of any potential third-party affiliate or information regarding such third-party, its websites and applications, is Publisher’s Confidential Information subject to the confidentiality and non-disclosure provisions of this Agreement and is provided to Overture in strict confidence for the sole and limited purpose of obtaining and maintaining Overture’s approval hereunder, and may not be used by Overture for any other purpose, including any sales or marketing efforts.

If any of the representations and warranties contained in subsection (e) above prove to be untrue, then (i) such event shall not be deemed a default by Overture under this Agreement, and (ii) except with respect to matters related to the Confidential Information of Publisher or any of its Related Parties or as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, Publisher’s sole and exclusive remedy for any breach of the representations and warranties herein shall be [*].
