Publisher shall (i) identify and designate a domain and a server location to KITN to enable KITN to provide Initial Postbacks to Publisher, and (ii) award Virtual Goods to Users within fifteen (15) minutes of receiving the Initial Postback from KITN.

Publisher acknowledges that any violation or attempted violation of any of the foregoing is a material breach of this Agreement.

4.	Proprietary Rights.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and KITN’s prior and continued approval, KITN hereby grants Publisher a limited, non-exclusive, revocable, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, non-transferable license during the term of this Agreement to use the Platform to display Ads on or in connection with the Applications. Publisher will not copy, modify, create derivative works of, distribute, or otherwise provide or re-syndicate the Ads.

As between KITN and Publisher, KITN, its licensors, and/or Advertisers, as applicable, own and retain all rights, title, and interest in and to the Platform, the Offer Wall, the Direct Payment Product, and the Ads. Publisher acknowledges that the Platform is copyrighted by KITN and a trade secret of KITN. Except as expressly stated herein, KITN does not grant to Publisher any license, express or implied, to the Platform or any other right, title, or interest to any intellectual property. Any rights not expressly granted herein are deemed withheld. Publisher agrees not to copy, alter, modify, or create derivative works of the Platform or the Virtual Goods or otherwise use the Platform in any way that violates the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

c.	During the term of this Agreement and for a period of one (1) year thereafter, Publisher shall not develop, market, license to others, or sell, whether directly or indirectly, any software, technology, or other materials that are the same as, similar to, or competitive to the Platform.

5. Payment.

During the term of this Agreement, KITN shall pay publisher a payment, as determined by KITN in its sole and absolute discretion, relating to Gross Revenue from the Offer Wall and the Direct Payment Product (“Payment”). Payments will be determined by KITN based on a number of factors including, but not limited to, the quantity, quality, and validity of clicks on Ads, Ad impressions, and Actions, and User demographics such as the country of origin of a User’s IP address. Payments under this Agreement shall be made in U.S. Dollars.

KITN shall pay Publisher the Payments approximately thirty (30) days after the end of every calendar month. Payments shall be made to Publisher electronically to the bank account set forth in registration form provided by Publisher to participate in the KITN online publisher program (which bank account details may be changed by Publisher upon at least ten (10) days advance written notice to KITN). Publisher is responsible for maintaining current contact information including, but not limited to, bank account information, with KITN. Any Publisher banking fees, wire fees, and/or other charges for banking services incurred in connection with Payments shall be the sole responsibility of Publisher.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) amounts of less than one hundred dollars ($100.00) will be held by KITN until amounts due equal or exceed one hundred dollars ($100.00), and (ii) KITN shall not be responsible for any delays in Payments caused by incorrect banking information or other information supplied by Publisher. Publisher shall be solely responsible for the payment of, and shall pay when due and indemnify KITN against, all applicable federal and state taxes, including any sales, use, excise or transfer taxes and other taxes associated with Payments to Publisher under this Agreement (except for taxes assessed on KITN's net income).

Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, KITN shall have no obligation to pay Publisher any payments with respect to (i) amounts that KITN is not able to pay to Publisher after termination of this Agreement after KITN’s commercially reasonable efforts to do so (for example, if KITN is unable to make Payment to Publisher due to Publisher’s failure to maintain current contact details with KITN), (ii) amounts generated based on or during Publisher’s breach of this Agreement, (iii) payments which represent net adjustments downwards for whatever reason to payments made by Advertisers, or legitimately withheld from payments due from Advertisers, (iv) payments in respect of which KITN has not itself received payments from relevant third parties including, but not limited to, Advertisers, and (v) any fraudulent payments from Users or any fraudulent or invalid Actions or any fraudulent or invalid clicks or impressions on any Ads generated by any person, bot, automated program or similar device in connection with any Ads provided by KITN or the Platform, as determined by KITN in its sole and absolute discretion, including, without limitation, any Actions, clicks or impressions (A) originating from Publisher’s IP addresses or computers under Publisher’s control, (B) solicited by payment of money, the exchange of goods or services, false representation, or request or incentive for Users to click on Ads, or any illegal or otherwise invalid request for Users to complete Actions, (C) pursuant to which Users were directly or indirectly misled or falsely encouraged to complete Actions, including without limitation making it seem that a User is completing an Action other than the Action actually being offered, or (D) pursuant to which a User provided false or misleading personal data.

e.	KITN may withhold a relevant portion of any Payment from Publisher to offset any portion of any Payment previously received by Publisher in respect of any matter under Section 5(d) above. Publisher understands that this may reduce the Payment owed to Publisher.

As a result of administrative and other costs that KITN incurs in providing its services under this Agreement, in the event that the total Payment amount owed to Publisher upon termination or expiration of this Agreement is less than fifty dollars ($50.00), notwithstanding anything else set forth in this Agreement to the contrary, Publisher understands and agrees that KITN is not obligated to send Publisher such Payment and that KITN may retain such amount as if the same had never been the subject of any obligation to be paid by KITN.

g.	Publisher understands and agrees that KITN may offset from any Payment any amount owed by Publisher, or any parent, subsidiary, or affiliate of Publisher, to KITN or any parent or subsidiary company of KITN.
