5. Misuse; Fraudulent Impressions.
5.1 Any form of misuse, including procuring business transactions by unfair methods or inadmissible means that violate any law, statute, rule, regulation, or this Agreement, is prohibited and you expressly warrant that your use of Adession’s network complies with all applicable laws, statutes, rules, and regulations.
5.2 Publishers are prohibited from trying to obtain commissions by procuring business transactions themselves or through a nonparty using the Advertising Material, tracking links, or other technical aids provided to them in the context of the Adsession Network using one or more of the following methods:
(a) Fraudulently pretending or faking business transactions, for example by entering nonparty data without authorization or by providing false or nonexistent data when ordering goods or registering online;

Publishers may raise an objection within a month, providing a statement and evidence that their chosen form of advertising was in accordance with this Agreement. If the Publisher cannot refute the breach, Adsession will issue a notice of termination. In the event of a breach of this Agreement, the Publisher will not receive any payment, regardless of any other or further liabilities the Publisher might incur.
5.4 Adsession’s ad server will be the official counter for determining the number of Advertising Materials delivered and amounts payable under this Agreement. Counts of Impressions or clicks will be decided solely based on reports generated by the Adsession Network. Any method to artificially or fraudulently inflate the volume of Impressions or clicks is prohibited. These prohibited methods include but are not limited to framing an ad-banner’s click-through destination, auto-spawning of browsers, running “spiders” against the Publisher’s Websites, automatic redirecting of users, or any other technique of generating automatic or fraudulent (as determined by Adsession or based on industry practices) click-through or Impressions. Advertising Material must not be placed on a page that reloads automatically. The Publisher must not require users to click on Advertising Material before entering a Publisher’s Website or any area in a Publisher’s Website or provide incentives of any nature to encourage or require users to click on Advertising Material. The Publisher’s click-throughs of any link other than Adsession’s Advertising Material or use of any other means of artificially enhancing click results is a breach of this Agreement, and on that occurrence, Adsession may terminate this Agreement without notice. That termination is not in place of any other remedy available at law or equity.
5.5 Publishers shall indemnify Adsession against any liabilities, losses, or damages that are directly or indirectly derived from their breach of this Agreement.
6 Claims of Infringement of Intellectual Property Third-Party Websites
6.1 Claims of Infringement by Third-Party Websites Adsession respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. Each user is responsible for making sure that the materials they upload to their website or serve through the Adsession platform do not infringe any copyright, trademark, trade secret, or other intellectual property rights of any person or entity.
Adsession does not host or control the content on third-party websites (i.e., publisher and advertiser websites) and cannot remove third-party websites or their content from the Internet.. Indeed, Adsession is not responsible for the content on third-party websites nor the activities taken by or on third-party websites. Adsession is not law enforcement nor a court of law and does not have the resources or obligation to investigate allegations of copyright infringement or other wrongful activities alleged to have taken place on a third-party website.
Just as the electric company does not have any responsibility for nefarious actors using their electricity for illegal purposes, and the phone company does not have responsibility if the mafia organizes a criminal conspiracy over their phone lines, Adsession does not have any responsibility for allegedly illegal or improper activity that may occur on third-party websites.
Therefore, if you believe that a third-party website is infringing your intellectual property rights you should contact this third-party website directly and address your concerns with them.
To the extent that you send a claim of infringement with respect to a third-party website to Adsession, or otherwise send a complaint about the activities of a third-party website to Adsession, Adsession reserves the right, in its absolute discretion, to ignore your complaint(s). That being so, Adsession will typically forward your complaints to third-party websites, but (a) we do not follow up on said complaints or otherwise enforce the complaint; (b) we will not forward to you the response of the third-party website (to the extent there is a response); and (c) we reserve the right to ignore any complaints from you that we determine, in our absolute discretion, are meritless, abusive, or otherwise not sent in good faith.
The above is not intended to impose a duty on Adsession to monitor its platform to identify infringing third-party websites, and Adsession does not, and cannot, monitor its platform to identify infringing third-party websites.
Please send all correspondences concerning intellectual property to Adsession’s Copyright Agent:
Copyright Manager
dmca@adsession.com
6.2 Procedure for Reporting Claims of Copyright Infringement (Does Not Apply to Third-Party Websites)
The following procedure applies to infringing materials hosted on the Adsession platform only (to the extent that any materials are hosted there at all). This procedure does not apply to allegedly infringing materials hosted or located on third-party publisher websites that display ads served by the Adsession platform (please see Claims of Infringement by Third-Party Websites, above). Adsession does not host or control the content on third-party websites and cannot remove third-party websites or their content from the Internet (nor can Adsession disable access to third-party websites). Adsession is not responsible for the content on third-party websites nor the activities taken by or on third-party websites.
Adsession takes claims of copyright infringement seriously. Adsession will respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the DMCA or any other similar law. If you believe any materials accessible on www.adsession.com infringe your copyright, you may request removal of those materials (or access to them) from the Adsession website or platform by submitting written notification to Adsession’s Copyright Agent (designated below). Under the Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512) (DMCA), the written notice (“DMCA Notice”) must include substantially the following:
1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the copyright work you believe to have been infringed or, if the claim involves multiple works, a representative list of the works.
3. Identification of the material you believe to be infringing in a sufficiently precise manner to allow Adsession to locate that material.
4. Adequate information by which Adsession can contact you (including your name, postal address, telephone number, and, if available, email address).
5. A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the copyrighted material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement that the information in the written notice is accurate.
7. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act for the copyright owner.
Adsession’s designated Copyright Agent to receive DMCA Notices is:
Copyright Manager
If you do not comply with all the requirements of section 512(c)(3) of the DMCA, your DMCA Notice might not be effective.
Please be aware that if you knowingly materially misrepresent that material or activity on the Adsession website is infringing your copyright, you might be held liable for damages (including costs and attorneys’ fees) under section 512(f) of the DMCA.
6.3 Counter-Notification Procedures
If you believe that material you posted on the Adsession website was removed or access to it was disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may file a counter-notification with Adsession (a “Counter-Notice”) by submitting written notification to Adsession’s Copyright Agent (identified below). Under the DMCA, the Counter-Notice must include substantially the following:
Completed Counter-Notices must be sent to:

The Publisher may withdraw the earned balance at any time, on condition that the earned balance is greater than or equal to the Publisher’s minimum payable amount (as agreed by the parties).

7.2 Liability for Publisher Earnings. The Publisher understands that Adsession acts solely as a third party for Advertisers and that Adsession will only be liable to the Publisher for Publisher Earnings based on payments from Advertisers that it has received without restrictions that constitute immediately available funds to Adsession. The Publisher acknowledges that Adsession will have no liability or obligation to the Publisher for payments due but unpaid from Advertisers. Adsession will make every reasonable effort to timely bill, collect, and clear payment from the Advertisers. Adsession will not be liable for any payment based on (1) any fraudulent Impressions or clicks generated by any person, robot, automated program, or similar device or for fraudulent Impressions or clicks similarly generated on any advertisements, as reasonably determined by Adsession, (2) advertisements delivered to end users whose browsers have JavaScript disabled, or (3) Impressions commingled with a significant number of fraudulent Impressions or fraudulent clicks described in clause (1), or as a result of another breach of this Agreement. Adsession may withhold payment or charge back the Publisher’s account due to any of the preceding or any breach of this Agreement or.

7.3 Disputes. If the Publisher disputes any payment made under this Agreement, the Publisher shall notify Adsession in writing within 30 days of any such disputed payment. Failure to notify Adsession within 30 days of the disputed payment will constitute a waiver by the Publisher of any claims related to that disputed payment.
8. Advertising Material.
8.1 Adsession JavaScript tag. The Publisher must place the Adsession JavaScript tag on all appropriate pages on the Publisher’s Website. The Publisher shall not alter, sell, or disclose the Adsession JavaScript tag in any way without Adsession’s written consent.

8.2 Recording of Impressions. Adsession is solely responsible for calculating statistics, including Impressions, click-through rate, revenues, and CPM. New York[FS2] time will be the time for traffic and tracking purposes. Statistics will be available to the Publisher online in the Adsession Dashboard. The Publisher acknowledges that Adsession’s online statistics might not be 100% accurate and that Adsession may make adjustments to the Publisher’s online statistics. If coding on the Publisher’s Websites generates a substantial number of erroneous Impressions due to a technical problem, including server malfunction, coding alteration, or a mistake in entering code, Adsession may withhold payment on all Impressions and clicks delivered by the Publisher.
8.3 Volume of Impressions. Adsession cannot and does not guarantee any volume of traffic. The number of Impressions might vary from day to day, depending on the performance of the targeted site.

The Advertiser is responsible for paying all taxes, government charges, and reasonable expenses, including legal fees that Adsession incurs in collecting unpaid amounts. If permitted by law, the Advertiser hereby waives all claims relating to charges (including, but not limited to, claims based on suspected invalid clicks) unless those claims are made within 60 days after the charge. This waiver does not affect the rights of the Advertiser’s credit card issuer). Charges are based solely on Adsession’s Ad Serving Platform measurements, unless agreed otherwise in writing.

Adsession will not be liable under or in connection with this Agreement under any legal or equitable theory, including breach of contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or otherwise, for any (1) consequential, incidental, indirect, exemplary, special, enhanced, or punitive damages, (2) increased costs, diminution in value or lost business, production, revenues, or profits, (3) loss of goodwill or reputation, (4) use, inability to use, loss, interruption, delay or recovery of any data, or breach of data or system security, or (5) cost of replacement goods or services, in each case regardless of whether Adsession was advised of the possibility of those losses or damages or those losses or damages were otherwise foreseeable. Adsession’s aggregate liability arising out of or related to this Agreement under any legal or equitable theory, including breach of contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability, or otherwise will not exceed the total amounts paid to Adsession if you are an Advertiser or paid by Adsession if you are a Publisher under this Agreement in the 12-month period preceding the event giving rise to the claim or €250, whichever is greater.
20. Amendments. Adsession may amend this Agreement on one or more occasions and the modified terms become effective on posting. You will be notified of amendments through the Dashboard and required to accept the amendments before you can continue to use the Platform. You are responsible for reviewing and becoming familiar with any such amendments.
21. Governing Law. Cyprus law governs all adversarial proceedings arising out of this Agreement or the Platform.
22. Equitable Remedies. Each party acknowledges that (1) breach by either party of that party’s obligations under this Agreement has the potential to cause irreparable harm for which damages would be an inadequate remedy and (2) if any such breach occurs or is threatened and might cause irreparable harm, each party would want a court to grant the other party an injunction, a restraining order, or any other equitable remedy, in each case without posting a bond or other security and without proof of actual damages.
23. Arbitration. As the exclusive means of bringing adversarial proceedings to resolve any dispute arising out of this Agreement or the Platform (other than any proceeding brought by a party seeking an injunction, a restraining order, or any other equitable remedy to which that party is entitled under section 22), a party may demand that the dispute be resolved by arbitration administered by International Centre for Dispute Resolution (ICDR) in accordance with its International Arbitration Rules. Judgment on any award rendered in any such arbitration may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Any arbitration commenced in accordance with this section 23 must be conducted by one arbitrator in English. Any arbitration commenced in accordance with this section 23 must be conducted virtually by Zoom (or similar video conferencing technology), or in Cyprus if virtual arbitration is not technically feasible. The arbitrator must not award punitive damages in addition to compensatory damages. Each party hereby waives any right to recover any such damages in any arbitration.
24. Jurisdiction. If either party commences a proceeding seeking an injunction, a restraining order, or other equitable remedy to which that party is entitled under section 22, that party may bring that proceeding only in a court of Cyprus. Each party hereby waives any claim that any proceeding brought in accordance with this section 24 has been brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of that proceeding is improper.
25. Recovering Expenses. In an adversarial proceeding between the parties arising out of this Agreement or the Platform, the Prevailing Party will be entitled to recover from the other party, in addition to any other relief awarded, all expenses that the Prevailing Party incurs in those proceedings, including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses. For purposes of this section 25, “Prevailing Party” means the party that recovers greater relief in those proceedings. If any such proceedings are voluntarily dismissed or are dismissed as part of settlement of that dispute, neither party will be the Prevailing Party in those proceedings.
26. Timit Limit. Apart from proceedings arising from a claim under section 18, neither party may bring adversarial proceedings to resolve any dispute arising out of this Agreement or the Platform more than 12 months after the date that dispute arose.
27. Miscellaneous. This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding between the parties regarding the Platform. Each party acknowledges that because it has not relied on, and will not be relying on, any statements made by the other party regarding the Platform, it will have no basis for bringing any claim for fraud in connection with any such statements. Any notices to us must be sent to our corporate headquarters address available at [26 Othellou, Strovolos, Nicosia, 2018, Cyprus] and must be delivered either in person, by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested and postage prepaid, or by recognized overnight courier service, and are deemed given on receipt by us. Notwithstanding the preceding, you hereby consent to receiving electronic communications from us. These electronic communications may include notices about applicable fees and charges, transactional information, and other information concerning or related to the Platform. You agree that any notices, Agreements, disclosures, or other communications that we send to you electronically will satisfy any legal communication requirements, including that those communications be in writing. The invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of any provision in this Agreement does not affect any other provision in it or the validity, legality, or enforceability of that provision in any other jurisdiction. Any failure to act by us regarding a breach of this Agreement by you or others does not constitute a waiver and will not limit our rights regarding that breach or any subsequent breaches. This Agreement is personal to you and must not be assigned or transferred for any reason without our prior written consent and any action or conduct in violation of the preceding will be void. We may assign this Agreement and delegate any of our obligations under it. You must direct all communications relating to the Adsession Network to Adsession and not to any Advertiser or Publisher
