In addition, you acknowledge and agree that you will not use the Services in connection with any Property or Advertisement exclusively designed for or exclusively directed to children as defined and required by applicable laws, or for any Property or Advertisement that could implicate the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (15 U.S.C. 6501, et seq.) (“COPPA”), laws of similar effect in any applicable jurisdiction, as well as any applicable app store policies.  You shall be solely responsible for ensuring that any Property or Advertisements comply with all age-related laws and applicable app store policies, including COPPA or laws of similar effect in any applicable jurisdiction.

6. Fees and Payments

a. Fees from Advertisers’ Use of the Services

Invoices to Advertisers — For purposes of your use of the Services, AppLovin will provide you with access to an online reporting system.  You acknowledge and understand that AppLovin will invoice you for Advertisements served through the Services exclusively based on the numbers in AppLovin’s online reporting system.  Unless otherwise indicated, payment will be due within thirty (30) days of the invoice date, and all amounts will be payable in U.S. Dollars regardless of your primary place of business.

Past Due Accounts — If your payment method fails or any account(s) becomes past due, AppLovin may take steps to collect past due amounts using any available mechanisms, including netting or offsetting any past due amounts from payments to you as a Publisher or due to you under any other agreement, referring the balance to collections, or pursuing the balance through other available means.  You agree to pay all expenses associated with any such mechanism, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, or collections’ fees, plus interest accruing on any past due amounts at the lesser of 1% per month or the lawful maximum.

b. Payments to Publishers

Payments to Publishers — For purposes of your use of the Services, AppLovin will provide you with access to an online reporting system.  You acknowledge and understand that AppLovin will pay you monthly earnings for valid impressions filled by AppLovin, calculated exclusively based on AppLovin’s accounting and the numbers in AppLovin’s online reporting system, and subject to the minimum applicable payment threshold (communicated through the Services).  Payments to you will be calculated by AppLovin based on valid impressions shown on your Property and the pricing associated with those impressions, which could take the form of cost per mille (CPM) or a percentage of Net Revenue (as defined below) as determined by AppLovin.  

  • Invalid Activity — For purposes of calculating these payments, AppLovin will, in its sole discretion, determine what constitutes valid impressions, clicks, requests, valid traffic, and valid activity.  Invalid activity includes: (i) spam, invalid impressions, or invalid clicks on Advertisements generated by any person, bot, automated program, or similar device, including through any clicks or impressions originating from your IP addresses, computers under your control, or similar self-click schemes; (ii) clicks solicited or impressions generated by payment of money and false representation; (iii) clicks or impressions co-mingled with a significant amount of the activity described in (i) and (ii) above; or (iv) any breach of this Agreement or the Publisher Policies.
  • Net Revenue — For purposes of calculating these payments, “Net Revenue” means revenues actually received by AppLovin from the sale, use, or other disposition of Advertisements displayed on your Property, less Taxes (as defined below), less any agency commissions, buyer fees, carrier and/or partner fees, and less any allowances actually made or taken for returns, cash discounts, or promotional allowances, but excluding other revenues indirectly earned, if applicable, for consulting, planning and targeting, copywriting, site building, account management, or technical modifications or technical innovations that may be charged by AppLovin to third parties from time to time.  The portion of Net Revenue received by User will generally be determined on the first Monday of each calendar month, on which day those revenues accrued to your account thirty (30) or more days earlier shall become eligible to be paid.

Subject to the foregoing and the minimum applicable payment threshold, AppLovin will pay your monthly earnings according to the payment details entered into your AppLovin account.  You acknowledge and affirm that you are the beneficial owner of the bank account(s) reflected in your payment details.  Depending upon those payment details, you may be responsible for certain bank fees associated with the transmission of payments from your AppLovin account.  As set forth above, to help ensure proper payment, you remain solely responsible for providing and maintaining accurate contact and payment information associated with your account.

Our Right to Withhold, Adjust, or Offset Payments — We may withhold, adjust, or offset payments to you based upon any amounts you owe to AppLovin under this Agreement or any other agreement, any amounts refunded or credited to Advertisers, any amounts arising from invalid activity, or if you engage in any actual or suspected violation of this Agreement or the Publisher Policies, in any case as determined by AppLovin in its sole discretion.

Payments from Other Networks — Your monthly earnings for impressions filled through the Services by other networks, as may be reflected in AppLovin’s online reporting system, will be paid in accordance with the policies and practices of those other networks. 

c. Miscellaneous Provisions

Taxes — You will pay any direct or indirect local, state, federal or foreign taxes, levies (including any equalization levy), duties, or similar governmental assessments of any nature, including but not limited to VAT, GST, excise, sales, use, consumption, and withholding taxes (collectively, “Taxes”) or other charges in connection with its use of the Platform, the Services, or the Software, including any Taxes AppLovin is legally obligated to charge.  AppLovin’s fees do not include Taxes and you agree to pay, in addition to such fees, all applicable Taxes imposed by any taxing authority in connection with your use of the Services.  You shall pay the full amount owed to AppLovin, inclusive of and without deduction for, any invoiced Taxes.  You may provide AppLovin with an exemption certificate or equivalent information acceptable to the relevant taxing authority, in which case AppLovin will not charge or collect the Taxes covered by such certificate.  Where a Publisher supplies a Property or Properties to AppLovin which is subject to any Taxes, Publisher shall be responsible for remitting the Taxes to the proper authorities.  Where applicable, Publisher agrees to GST self-billing for Singapore GST purposes and agrees to remit all GST output tax to the proper authorities, as required by law, as shown on each AppLovin self-billed invoice.  Upon request, Publisher shall provide AppLovin with its GST registration number.

Changes to Fees or Charges — AppLovin reserves the right to change its fees and to institute new charges at any time, upon prior notice, and to invoice for fees and/or make payments for earnings from any of our affiliates.

Except as provided below, any disputes not subject to the Agreement to Arbitration set forth in this Agreement shall be heard only in the state or federal courts located in Santa Clara County, California, unless we mutually agree to some other location.  Each of us consents to venue and personal jurisdiction in Santa Clara County, California, for purposes of any such action.

14. Informal Dispute Resolution Process; Agreement to Arbitration; Consolidated, Class Action, and Representative Action Waiver

Notice of Dispute and Required Informal Dispute Resolution Process

Except as provided below, if any dispute arises between us concerning or relating to this Agreement, the Platform, the Services, the Software, or our relationship, we agree to work in good faith to resolve the dispute informally by providing a written notice of dispute (the “Notice of Dispute”) to the applicable Party.  Any Notices of Dispute should be submitted to AppLovin’s Support Team.

Agreement to Arbitration; Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitration 

As set forth in the table below, the specific details of this Agreement to Arbitration, including the Governing Law, the Alternative Dispute Resolution Provider, the Applicable Rules, and the Designated Venue for any arbitral proceedings, each as defined in the tables below, depend upon your principal place of business and whether you are a Publisher or Advertiser.

If the Parties cannot informally resolve the dispute within sixty (60) days from receipt of the Notice of Dispute, the Parties agree to submit the dispute arising between them, including any claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof, including the determination of the scope, applicability, or enforceability of this Agreement to Arbitration, for determination through binding arbitration administered by the Alternative Dispute Resolution Provider pursuant to the Applicable Rules (each as defined in the tables below).  

The Parties agree that all arbitration proceedings, including witness interviews, written statements or other submissions, hearings, and the arbitration decision, shall be conducted or rendered in English.  At the beginning of any arbitration process under this Agreement, the Parties will select an arbitrator, fluent in English, by mutual agreement.  Such an arbitrator shall be a retired judge or justice or another qualified and impartial person that the Parties decide upon, and any such arbitrator shall be subject to disqualification on the same grounds as would apply to a judge or justice in a court proceeding.  If the Parties cannot agree on the selection of an arbitrator, the Parties will request a list of an odd number of potential arbitrators from the Alternative Dispute Resolution Provider and alternatively strike potential arbitrators, with AppLovin going first, until one potential arbitrator remains.  The Parties agree that the arbitrator shall administer and conduct any arbitration in accordance with California law, including the California Code of Civil Procedure, and that the arbitrator shall apply substantive and procedural California law to any dispute or claim, without reference to rules or principles of conflicts of law.  To the extent that the Applicable Rules conflict with California law, California law shall take precedence. The Parties agree that any arbitration under this Agreement shall be conducted exclusively in the Designated Venue.  The Parties agree that the decision of the arbitrator shall be rendered within twelve (12) months of the commencement of the arbitration (unless extended by the arbitrator for good cause), and that the decision shall be in a reasoned written opinion based solely upon the law governing the claims and defenses pleaded. The arbitrator’s decision regarding the claims shall be final and binding upon the Parties and shall be enforceable in any court having appropriate jurisdiction within the Designated Venue. The Parties will split equally the arbitrator’s fees and other costs imposed by the Alternative Dispute Resolution Provider, but each Party shall be responsible for paying such Party’s own attorneys’ fees and costs related to the arbitration.   

Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitration

This Section does not apply to the following types of claims or disputes, which you or we may bring in court in accordance with this Agreement: 

  • Your payment obligations under this Agreement or our right to offset or pursue past due accounts through collections or other means;
  • Claims of infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights;
  • Claims for violation of any applicable confidentiality provisions;
  • Claims for preliminary injunctive relief for any violations of this Agreement;
  • Claims to request enforcement or recognition of any award or order in any appropriate jurisdiction; and
  • Our right to suspend or terminate access to the Platform, the Services, or the Software.

YOU UNDERSTAND THAT, ABSENT THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATION, YOU WOULD HAVE HAD A RIGHT TO LITIGATE THROUGH A COURT, TO HAVE A JUDGE OR JURY DECIDE YOUR CASE, AND TO BE PARTY TO A CONSOLIDATED, CLASS, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION.  HOWEVER, YOU UNDERSTAND AND CHOOSE TO HAVE ANY CLAIMS DECIDED INDIVIDUALLY AND ONLY THROUGH ARBITRATION.

Severability

This Section applies to the full extent permitted by applicable law.  If any competent authority deems any portion of this Section illegal or unenforceable, such provision will be severed and the remainder of this Section will be given full force and effect.  

In addition, if any competent authority determines that applicable law precludes the arbitration of any claim, cause of action, or requested remedy, then that claim, cause of action, or requested remedy, and only that claim, cause of action, or requested remedy, will be severed from this Agreement to Arbitration and brought in a court of competent jurisdiction.  If that occurs, then you and we agree that the severed claims, causes of action, or requested remedies will be stayed until all arbitrable claims, causes of action, and requested remedies have been resolved by the arbitrator.
