The Publisher shall place the Tags, insert the SDKs or integrate the publisher APIs provided by AdView on the relevant Spaces on its Apps, which must first have been approved by AdView. The Publisher agrees to comply with all Ad placement restrictions, or channels specifications, in accordance with the highest industry standards, and/or upon AdView’s request.

The Publisher is responsible for defining its advertising content exclusions on the AdView Interface. AdView shall set up the blacklist, on a best efforts’ basis, and shall request Approved Partners to implement the Publisher’s block list on their own platforms. Nevertheless, the Publisher acknowledges and agrees that AdView will not be able technically to review the content of the Ads prior to their display on the Publisher’s Apps. If the Publisher notices the presence of an Ad that contravenes applicable regulations, it shall immediately take note of the “Buyer ID”, or any other identifier allowing the campaign in question to be isolated, in order to identify the relevant DSP and Trading desk.

2.4 Fulfillment of Advertising requests

AdView does not provide any guarantee as to its ability to respond to all advertising requests sent to its servers by the Publisher, as its response depends upon the existence and the amount of Advertisers’ bids on the AdView Interface, and/or the Approved Partners’ ability to sell these Ad Placements on their platforms. AdView’s role is limited to aggregating the bids of Advertisers on the Service, and activating Approved Partners within its Interface to enable the sale of Spaces on their own platforms. The Publisher instructs AdView to enter into any agreement with such Approved Partners, in return for consideration, that permits the range of Advertisers likely to bid on the Publisher’s Ad Inventory to be increased.

AdView shall monitor Ads in order to detect malicious, or fraudulent technical devices, on a best efforts’ basis.

Optionally, AdView shall offer a data analysis function permitting the Publisher to conduct real-time analysis of performance per format, and performance of DSP, and/or Approved Partners App by App. This data analysis also enables validation of floor prices, and analysis of real time bidding.

The Publisher acknowledges and agrees that the price to pay for a given Ad Placement by the winning bidder will amount the second-best bid, plus an amount of one US$ cent, or the floor price (in the event there is no intermediary bid). If Space is sold by the Approved Partners, the Publisher acknowledges and agrees that the commercial terms of the relevant Approved Partner may apply.

2.5. Availability of the Service

The Publisher agrees that, from time to time, the AdView Services and Interface may be unavailable, or inoperable for the following reasons: (i) maintenance, or repair procedures; (ii) interruption, or failure of the telecommunications network; (iii) hostile network attacks. The Publisher also agrees that the Agreement is subject to hardware, software, and bandwidth traffic limitations, and/or any other technical constraint coming from a DSP, or resulting from the commercial terms of an Approved Partner.

The Publisher also acknowledges and agrees that the Approved Partners may cease performance of their service without prior notice, at any time and without any justification. Smart Ad Server will make reasonable commercial efforts to enter into and renew agreements with Approved Partners.

If the Publisher Applications are directed to children under the age of thirteen (13), or if Publisher collects information from children under age of thirteen (13) (collectively referred to as “Children’s Content”), Publisher must comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA") at all times. In addition, AdView requires Publisher to immediately notify AdView by sending an email to privacy@adview.com or contacting the AdView account manager in the event Publisher uses the Services in connection with Children’s Content. Should Publisher choose not to notify AdView, AdView will assume that Publisher is not using the Services in connection with Children’s Content and is compliant with COPPA. AdView will not actively monitor the Publisher Properties for Children’s Content and compliance with COPPA. Therefore, AdView disclaims liability for Publisher’s failure to comply with this Section.
