   4. Podcast Matching. Wildcast will use reasonable efforts to match Advertiser with Podcasters that Wildcast determines in its reasonable discretion meet the Campaign requirements set forth in each Order; provided that, Advertiser acknowledges and agrees that Wildcast does not represent or warrant or otherwise guaranty: (i) that any Podcaster will accept any Placement Order for Advertiser’s Campaigns; (ii) that each Podcast will meet all of the requirements of the Campaign; or (iii) the number of Podcast episodes in which the applicable Ad(s) may run or the Minimum Reach that may be achieved. 
   5. Ad Placement Review. Unless otherwise set forth in an Order, Advertiser will have fourteen (14) days from its receipt of an Ad placement for a Podcast to decline such Ad placement. If Advertiser fails to decline such Ad placement via the Platform within such fourteen (14) day period, then such Ad placement shall be deemed accepted by Advertiser.  Advertiser may only decline an Ad placement if Advertiser reasonably determines in good faith that the Ad (i) does not materially comply with the Campaign requirements or (ii) does not comply with Wildcast’s Ad quality requirements. If Advertiser declines an Ad placement pursuant to this provision, then the Advertiser may request a Make Good from the applicable Podcaster or the Podcaster may elect to forfeit any payment for such Ad placement.

   7. Campaign Budget; Fees. Advertiser will designate its budget for each Campaign in the applicable Order (“Campaign Budget”).  Advertiser agrees to pay to Wildcast, upon signing of such Order, an amount equal to the applicable Campaign Budget, which Wildcast will use for the payment of its fees and to pay Podcasters for serving Ads under Placement Offers. Wildcast’s fees and Podcaster fees will be set forth in the corresponding Order. Unless otherwise set forth in an Order, at the end of or throughout the applicable Campaign, Wildcast will charge Advertiser fees for delivered impressions and applicable Wildcast fees, by deduction of such amounts from the Campaign Budget. Unless otherwise set forth in an Order, the fees for each Campaign will be equal to or less than the applicable Campaign Budget. All fees and charges for impressions are based on Wildcast’s reporting statistics and applicable billing metrics. In the event that a portion of the Campaign Budget remains unused after payment of all fees and amounts due to Wildcast hereunder and completion of a Campaign, Wildcast will promptly return to Advertiser such unused portion of such Campaign Budget. Advertiser acknowledges and agrees that, amounts paid to Podcasters from the Campaign Budget are non-refundable.
   8. Payment Methods. Unless otherwise set forth in an Order, in order to run Campaigns through Wildcast, Advertiser must provide payment information in a form of payment that is currently made available or accepted by Wildcast. Advertiser represents and warrants to Wildcast that any payment information provided to Wildcast or its third-party payment processors is true, accurate and complete and Advertiser shall keep such information up to date at all times. If Advertiser pays with a credit card or other payment card, it will be required to provide Wildcast’s third-party payment processer with a valid payment card number and associated payment information verifying Advertiser’s authorization to use such payment. By submitting information to such third-party payment processor, Advertiser authorizes Wildcast and the third-party payment processor to charge the card or other payment method for the charges and fees incurred with Wildcast. The third-party payment processor may run one or more payment card authorization checks on a card before it is charged. Advertiser authorizes Wildcast and/or the third-party payment processer to store Advertiser’s payment card information, and, if necessary, to continue billing and charging the payment card until the payment for Services and other amounts due hereunder have been fulfilled.  If Wildcast or its third-party payment processor does not receive payment from Advertiser’s credit card or other payment card issuer or agents, then Advertiser remains obligated and agrees to pay all amounts due upon request from Wildcast or its agents.
   9. Payment Terms. Unless otherwise set forth in an Order, all fees for Services and payment of the corresponding Campaign Budget are due upon signing of such Order.  Any amounts due to Wildcast under these Ad Terms not received by the due date will be subject to a late fee of 1.5% per month, or, if less, the maximum amount then permitted by law. In the event of any failure by Advertiser to make any payment that is not otherwise disputed in good faith, Advertiser acknowledges and agrees that Advertiser shall be responsible for all reasonable costs and expenses (including collection agents and reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Wildcast in collecting such amounts.  Advertiser is responsible for paying and withholding all sales, value added or other taxes, duties and charges in connection with these Ad Terms, use of the Platform and the Services, other than taxes based on Wildcast’s income.
6. Podcaster Terms.
   1. Podcast Metrics and Demographics. Podcaster shall provide to Wildcast such impression and reach metrics, Podcast details, listener demographics and other information as Wildcast may request from time to time and in the form requested by Wildcast. Podcaster represents and warrants that any such information provided to Wildcast is true, accurate, unmodified and complete and Podcaster shall be responsible for all such information.  If Podcaster misrepresents or falsifies any such information, Wildcast may immediately terminate Podcaster’s participation in the Platform without liability and without payment of any fees. 
   2. Ad Placement Offers. Wildcast may, from time to time, offer to Podcaster the opportunity to place Ads in Podcaster’s Podcasts pursuant to Placement Offers. Podcaster has the right to refuse any Placement Offer, but, where Podcaster has accepted a Placement Offer, Podcaster shall perform the Ad placement and other activities set forth in such Placement Offer. Placement Offers are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in these Ad Terms, unless expressly modified within the applicable Placement Offer. Upon Podcaster’s acceptance of a Placement Offer, such Placement Offer shall become binding and a part of these Ad Terms. Podcaster acknowledges and agrees that nothing herein requires Wildcast to secure any Ad opportunities for Podcaster or otherwise make any Placement Offers to Podcaster. 
   3. Running Ads. Podcaster agrees to make the applicable Ads available in applicable Podcast episodes in accordance with the terms of the Placement Offer and any requirements of the applicable Campaign, including any Campaign deadline. If the Placement Offer contemplates a Podcaster or host-read Ad, then Podcaster shall promptly perform, record and create such Ad in accordance with the specifications and other requirements set forth in the Placement Offer and as required by the applicable Campaign. Podcaster shall submit to the Platform each Ad placement for review and acceptance by the applicable Advertiser pursuant to Section 5(e) hereunder. In the event that an Ad placement is not accepted by such Advertiser, then Podcaster agrees to promptly perform a Make Good to rectify the Ad placement or otherwise decline such Make Good opportunity and forfeit any fees that Podcaster has earned or may earn for such Ad placement.  If Podcaster fails to perform a Make Good or to decline such Make Good opportunity within fourteen (14) days of receipt of notice thereof, then Podcaster shall be deemed to forfeit any fees that Podcaster has earned or may earn for such Ad placement. 
   4. Ad Reporting. Podcaster shall provide to Wildcast such reports and information as Wildcast requests from time to time in connection with any Placement Offer.  Such reports and information include, without limitation, proof of Ad placement impressions, direct reach, audience demographics and other Podcast statistics helpful or necessary for Wildcast to determine Podcaster’s compliance with these Ad Terms and any Placement Offer. Podcaster may only report impressions for Podcast episodes that the applicable Ad was completely and accurately placed on. Podcaster represents and warrants that any such information provided to Wildcast is true, accurate, unmodified and complete and Podcaster shall be responsible for all such information.  If Podcaster misrepresents or falsifies any such information, Wildcast may immediately terminate Podcaster’s participation in the Platform without liability and without payment of any fees.
   5. Fees. Podcaster will be paid a fee for each successful Ad placement as set forth in the corresponding Placement Offer.  Unless otherwise set forth in the applicable Placement Offer, Podcaster fees are calculated on a CPM basis and the maximum fee that may be earned for an Ad placement is dependent on Podcaster’s estimated reach tier [Link to Podcaster Payout Calculation Page]. You acknowledge and agree that no fees for Ad placements are earned until such time as the requirements of the corresponding Placement Offer are met, including any reporting and Minimum Reach requirements and acceptance of such Ad placements by the corresponding Advertiser, in each case as reasonably determined by Wildcast in its sole discretion. Podcaster further acknowledges and agrees that (i) the fees that Podcaster may receive in connection with a Placement Offer depend on, among other things, the Podcast’s actual reach and compliance with these Ad Terms and the requirements set forth in the corresponding Placement Offer, and, as such, Wildcast makes no representation, warranty or guaranty that Podcaster will receive any amount of fees hereunder unless such conditions are met and (ii) Podcaster is fully responsible for reporting and paying all taxes and related fees for any payment due to or received by Podcaster hereunder and Podcaster shall fully indemnify Wildcast for any claims related thereto. Wildcast may (x) withhold any amount from any fees or other amounts paid or payable hereunder as required by applicable Law, and (y) issue to Podcaster an IRS Form 1099 for any amounts paid to Podcaster hereunder.
