Advertising Ownership agreement
N.O.D. ADVERTISING OWNERSHIP OPPORTUNITY (N.A.O.O.) AGREEMENT
THIS IS A LEGAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU AND NEGOTIATE ON DEMAND (N.O.D.) INC.. BY ENROLLING YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT YOU AGREE TO BE LEGALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR EACH AND EVERY TERM AND CONDITION.
1. Definitions.
This Agreement contains the complete terms and conditions that apply to you joining in the N.O.D. Advertising Ownership Opportunity (“N.A.O.O.”). The purpose of this Agreement is to allow linking between your website and N.O.D.’s website. As used in this Agreement, “we”, “us”, and “our” means N.O.D., and “you”, “your” and “yours” means the client. “Site” means a World Wide Website and, depending on the context refers either to N.O.D.’s site or to the site that we will link to your site. “Click” means a method that takes the surfer, as determined by the IP address, from a legally linked banner or text link from our site to your site. “Sign Up” means a surfer that legally linked to your site from our site and successfully subscribed (filled out correctly and accepted the terms and conditions of) to one of our services and/or solutions.
2. Text Links and Banners.
You will be responsible for the content, style, and placement of the links. You may not alter banners, buttons, graphics or text links (referred to as “Graphics”). ALTERING OR ANY OTHER WAY USING UNAUTHORIZED ADVERTISING TECHNIQUES IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED AND WILL RESULT IN TERMINATION FROM THE PROGRAM WITHOUT PAY. We provide a complete farm to choose from and you must use this farm in order to meet the criteria in the operating agreement. If you would like to modify or use other Graphics not created or modified by us, you must obtain written permission from N.O.D. first. Further, you may add or delete approved Graphics from your site at any time without our approval. New Graphics will be posted in the Farm from time to time. It is your responsibility to make sure that all changes are adhered to.
3. Spam and Falsification.
Should N.O.D. in its sole discretion determine that you are guilty of spamming, providing false account information, falsely increasing your number of clicks and/or acting or attempting to act in any false, misleading or illegal manner, N.O.D. shall have the right to immediately terminate this Agreement with cause and hold all monies due you. Such termination or waiver thereof shall in no way constitute a waiver of any other Section of this Agreement. Guidelines for Approved Opt-In E-mail Lists Prior to starting any type of e-mail, enewsletter, etc. campaign, you MUST e-mail us at: inquiries[at]thenod.ca with the dates of the drop. Include the number being sent and type of campaign with an attachment of what is being sent (approved text only). SPAMMING (any form of mass communication that creates complaints from the user receiving the communication) IS NOT ALLOWED. If you spam, your link to the program will be disabled immediately. As such, any e-mails, enewsletters, etc., MUST be “permission” or “opt-in” based e-mail addresses and include a way to unsubscribe. To prevent your account from being disabled for “SPAM” follow the guidelines “a to g” below.
a) The e-mail addresses of new subscribers must be confirmed or verified before mailings commence. This is usually accomplished by means of an e-mail message sent to the subscriber to which she/he must reply, or containing a URL which she/he must visit, in order to complete the subscription. However it is implemented, a fundamental requirement of all lists is for verification of all new subscriptions;
b) Mailing list administrators must provide a simple method for subscribers to terminate their subscriptions, and administrators should provide clear and effective instructions for unsubscribing from a mailing list. Mailings from a list must cease promptly once a subscription is terminated;
c) Mailing list administrators should make an “out of band” procedure (e.g., an e-mail address to which messages may be sent for further contact via e-mail or telephone) available for those who wish to terminate their mailing list subscriptions but are unable or unwilling to follow standard automated procedures;
d) Mailing list administrators must ensure that the impact of their mailings on the networks and hosts of others is minimized by proper list management procedures such as pruning of invalid or undeliverable addresses, or taking steps to ensure that mailings do not overwhelm less robust hosts or networks;
e) Mailing list administrators must take adequate steps to ensure that their lists are not used for abusive purposes. For example, administrators can maintain a “suppression list” of e-mail addresses from which all subscription requests are rejected. Addresses would be added to the suppression list upon request by the parties entitled to use the addresses at issue. The purpose of the suppression list would be to prevent subscription of addresses appearing on the suppression list by unauthorized third parties. Such suppression lists should also give properly authorized domain administrators the option to suppress all mailings to the domains for which they are responsible;
f) Mailing list administrators must make adequate disclosures about how subscriber addresses will be used, including whether or not addresses are subject to sale or trade with other parties. Once a mailing list is traded or sold, it may no longer be an opt-in mailing list; therefore, those who are acquiring “opt-in” lists from others must examine the terms and conditions under which the addresses were originally compiled and determine that all recipients have in fact opted-in specifically to the mailing lists to which they are being traded or sold; and,
g) Mailing list administrators should make adequate disclosures about the nature of their mailing lists, including the subject matter of the lists and anticipated frequency of messages. A substantive change in either the subject matter or frequency of messages may constitute a new and separate mailing list requiring a separate subscription. List administrators should create a new mailing list when there is a substantive change in either the subject matter or frequency of messages. A notification about the new mailing list may be appropriate on the existing mailing list, but existing subscribers should never be subscribed automatically to the new list. For example, if Company A acquires Company B, and Company B has compiled opt-in mailing lists, Company A should not summarily incorporate Company B’s mailing lists into its own.
4. Site Type and Content.
N.O.D. in its sole discretion reserves the right not to accept any sites that have any controversial or unacceptable content including, but not limited to, adult sites that promote pornography or sexual material of a lewd, lecherous or obscene nature or intent. Should N.O.D. determine in its sole discretion that you are in violation of this Section, N.O.D. shall have the right to immediately terminate this Agreement with cause and hold all monies due you. Such termination or waiver thereof shall in no way constitute a waiver of any other Section of this Agreement.
5. Site Responsibility.
You will be solely responsible for developing, operating and maintaining your site as well as for all materials that appear on your site. Further, you agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from all claims, damages and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) relating to the development, operation, maintenance, and contents of your site. In addition, you agree that you have no rights, title or interest in or to the Graphics whether created and/or modified by you or us.

Graphics. Further, you agree that your website information, including, but not limited to name, URL, traffic counts, etc., may be used by N.O.D..
6. Publicity.
