Enterprise Web Services Commercial License Program Terms
- USE. We provide you
access to the Enterprise Web Services Commercial License Program (the “Commercial
License Program”) for your use. These Commercial License Program Terms
are solely for Representative’s, and not Advertisers’, use of the
Commercial License Program, and are subject to the Master Terms and
Conditions and API Access Program Terms located at http://info.yahoo.com/legal/us/yahoo/advertising/masterterms/masterterms-322.html.
Unless expressly defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein have
the same meanings ascribed to them in the Master Terms and Conditions and
API Access Program Terms.
- EFFECTS OF TERMINATION. Sections 2, 3
(last sentence only), 4(e)(second and third sentences only), 5, 7, and 9
herein will survive termination of these Commercial License Program Terms.
- LIMITED USE LICENSE. Subject to your compliance with the Agreement,
including the API Access Program Terms which are incorporated by reference
herein, the Commercial License Program permits you to develop an application
to interact via API Access (defined in the API Access Program Terms)
between your service, website, or application (the “Application”)
and certain Program account information and/or features that we make
available to you hereunder, in order to improve Advertisers’ experience
with such Programs. Your initial use of the Application requires our prior
written consent and we may grant and revoke consent for use of the
Application in our sole discretion at any time. You agree to make the
Application available to us for our review and provide us with a list of
Advertisers and keywords that you are managing using the Application. You
and Advertisers agree that the Yahoo! Entities will not have any liability
for any suggestions made to you or the Advertisers in connection with the
Program, nor for any changes made based on such suggestions.
- RESTRICTIONS.
- ACCESS TO YAHOO!
SYSTEMS.
1.
Sessions.
If the Application logs into the Yahoo! Company systems, it must also log out
for each session it creates because the Yahoo! Company systems may not
automatically end sessions by time-out. You may not maintain more than one (1)
concurrently-active session with the Yahoo! Company systems per Advertiser
account, provided that you may maintain up to five (5) concurrently-active
sessions with the Yahoo! Company systems per authorized agency account.
2.
Access Restrictions.
You may access an Advertiser’s Program account via API Access provided that:
(i) you and each Advertiser are enrolled in such Program and comply with the terms
and conditions applicable thereto, (ii) you and the Advertiser comply with the
Agreement and any other agreements you or the Advertiser may have with us, and
(iii) you have valid written legal authority from the Advertiser to do so.
Except as expressly permitted herein, you will not: (x) sell, sublicense,
transfer, distribute, facilitate, or otherwise allow API Access from any
location or source other than the Application; (y) permit or enable third
parties to copy or obtain API Access, including data obtained via API Access
(in whole or in part, on a standalone basis or co-mingled with third-party
information), from you in any manner; or (z) use or permit use of any
alternative means such as scripts, robots, spiders, scraping, or other
technology to obtain API Access.
- DISPLAY OF
CONTENT.
Information obtained via API Access must be: (i) displayed only within
the Application; (ii) disclosed only to the Advertiser to whom such
information directly pertains; and (iii) referenced as originating from
us and displayed together with a timestamp clearly indicating the time
and date the information was obtained from us.
- REQUIRED
DISCLOSURES.
You must display a prominent disclosure on the Application that the
Advertiser’s user ID, password, and account information are communicated
to and from the Yahoo! Companies via the public Internet. In addition,
you must display the following statement on the same screen as, and
immediately above, every place within the Application where a user
enters, edits, or modifies the Advertiser’s user ID and password: “You are about to provide your personal
Yahoo! account information to [INSERT YOUR NAME]. By so doing you are
designating [INSERT YOUR NAME] to act as your authorized agent to make
changes to your Yahoo! account, including increasing or decreasing your
bid amounts. You are liable to Yahoo! for any charges to your account
made using your account information. Yahoo! is not responsible for errors
made by or through the use of this product or service.”
- OPT-OUT; PRIVACY.
1. Opt-out.
You agree to provide an easy to use, conspicuous, and readily available
opt-out method for Advertisers that desire you or the Application to stop
accessing their Program account(s). The opt-out method must be accessible
and able to be completed from within the Application. Upon an
Advertiser’s election to so opt out, you and the Application will
immediately cease to access that Advertiser’s Program account.
2.
Privacy.
Neither you nor the Application will collect any information from Advertisers
without their express permission. You will safeguard the privacy and security
of all information you collect from, and provide to, Advertisers and Yahoo!
Company users.
- SPAM. You will not send
or facilitate the sending of unsolicited communications of any type. You
will not use Customer Information to
solicit users in any way nor facilitate or permit third parties to do so.
You will not solicit users, or facilitate the solicitation by any third
party of users, as a result of their status as Advertisers or being our
users.
- MESSAGING. You will not
describe you or the Application as providing services associated with
reducing the spread in bid amounts between Advertisers, including using
such terms as “bubble popping” or “bid gaps.” You may describe you and/or
the Application as providing services associated with Advertiser “return
on investment,” “convenience,” “efficiency,” “time management,” or “cost
effectiveness.” You will not describe you or the Application as being in
any way endorsed by a Yahoo! Company, including describing the
Application as “endorsed,” “certified,” “authorized,” “preferred,”
“selected,” or “chosen” by us except that you may, provided that you are
in compliance with the Agreement, describe the Application as a
“Yahoo!-approved third party service” or “Yahoo!-approved third party
application.” You will not refer to your relationship with us as a
partnership or alliance of any kind, but you may describe your
relationship with us as an “agreement.”
- TRADEMARKS. Except as
expressly provided herein, you may not use the Yahoo! Inc., Yahoo! Search
Marketing, or other Yahoo! Company name, trademark, logo, service mark,
trade name, and/or legal notice (“Trademarks”). All use, display,
or reproduction of the Trademarks must be pre-approved by us in writing
and in accordance with the Agreement. The reproduction and display
(including the size, place, and manner) of the Trademarks must comply
with the Yahoo! Trademark Guidelines, attached hereto as Exhibit A,
as modified from time to time by us. Upon our request, you agree to
promptly remove or replace any Trademark, but in no event later than
three (3) business days after receipt of any such request. Your use of
the Trademarks does not confer or imply any ownership, goodwill, or other
rights in the Trademarks. You recognize the unique value, goodwill, and
secondary meaning associated with the Trademarks. You acknowledge that
all right, title, and interest in the Trademarks (and as incorporated in
or on the Application or in connection with any other use, in each case
if expressly permitted herein) and the goodwill pertaining thereto
automatically vests in us or another Yahoo! Company, and at all times
will remain owned by and in the name of us or another Yahoo! Company. You
will not contest the validity or our ownership of any Trademarks. You will
not, in any jurisdiction, adopt, use, register, or apply for registration
of, whether as a corporate name, trademark, service mark, domain name, or
other indication of origin, any Trademark, or any word, symbol, or
device, or any combination confusingly similar to any Trademark.
- ADVERTISER DATA. You agree to
provide us a data feed containing information obtained from and/or in
connection with Advertisers who are customers of the Application, which
data feed is compliant with the requirements set forth in this paragraph.
You agree to share Advertiser data with us, including the following
information in categories we specify: (i) clicks on Advertiser listings
by source and date; (ii) cost per click of Advertiser listing by source
and by date; and (iii) such additional Advertiser data as is requested by
us. All Advertiser data will be made available to us at such times and in
such format as specified by us from time to time. With respect to each
Advertiser, such data feed must be provided by you and determined by us
to be compliant and functional before the Application may be used for or
by such Advertiser. You represent, warrant, and covenant that you have
all necessary rights to provide to us for our use all information in the
data feed and any other information provided hereunder, including
information from or about Advertisers.
- ADDITIONAL
PROGRAMS.
You will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the
Application will enable Advertisers to access features of additional
Programs within 90 days after we make access to such Program features
available under the Commercial License Program. Such access may be
subject to different and/or additional terms, and you agree to enter into
one or more addenda hereto, as requested by us, in order to effectuate
such modifications to these Commercial License Program Terms.
- CUSTOMER INFORMATION. You agree that any
information that you or the Application gather or receive from us
regarding Advertisers (“Customer Information”) will be limited to
information permitted, and reasonably necessary to perform your services,
under the Agreement. For clarification, Customer Information does not
include information you collect from users of the Application independent
of us, the Programs, or the Yahoo! Company systems. Any use by you or the
Application of Customer Information may be only as authorized by the
Advertiser and expressly permitted herein and is subject to your
reasonable privacy policy that will be adequately displayed throughout the
Application and meets current industry and legal standards.
- REPRESENTATIONS. You represent,
warrant, and covenant that your products and services: (a) do not violate
any Law; (b) do not infringe any copyright, patent, trademark, trade
secret, or other intellectual property right of any person or entity; (c)
do not breach any duty toward, or rights of, any person or entity
including rights of publicity and/or privacy; and (d) are not false,
deceptive, misleading, unethical, defamatory, libelous, or threatening.
- COMPETING APPLICATIONS. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the Agreement, you acknowledge and agree that:
(i) we do, and we have the right to, develop, create, obtain, modify,
transfer, provide, and/or distribute, whether privately, commercially, or
otherwise, any and all applications (including third-party applications)
in connection with Programs (“Competing Applications”), regardless
of the means, methods, applications, materials, or processes employed by
us, and regardless of whether such Competing Applications include some or
all the functionality of the Application or the API Code (defined in the
API Access Program Terms), and (ii) we and the Yahoo! Entities will not be
subject to, nor liable for, any Claims in connection therewith.
- TRAINING. We may from time
to time: (i) provide training sessions to your sales personnel who market
the Application, and/or (ii) formally certify the capability of such
personnel who pass an examination provided by us and who are qualified to
represent the relevant Programs in connection with the Application. You
agree to ensure that any of your personnel who market the Application will
have received the training and obtained the certification described in
this Section (as applicable) and will remain knowledgeable about the
Programs and the Application. In addition, if we so request, you and we
will meet with Advertisers who are customers of the Application to train
such Advertisers on the Application as it interfaces with and relates to
Programs. You agree to coordinate with us to schedule such training
sessions at mutually convenient times.
- ADDITIONAL TERMS. Without
limitation, all information relating to the Yahoo! Companies’ security and
firewall rules, is our Confidential Information regardless of whether
marked as such. Except as otherwise provided or permitted under the
Agreement, we may change these Commercial License Program Terms at any
time upon 15 days’ notice to you by posting such on the applicable Yahoo!
Company Website or by email, and such revised Program Terms will supersede
and replace the earlier Program Terms. If you do not agree to such
changes, your sole remedy is to terminate the Commercial License Program
Terms within such 15-day notice period upon written notice to us. Any use
by you or Authorized Users of the Commercial License Program or API Access
after such notice period will be deemed to be acceptance by you of the
revised Program Terms. If an Advertiser claims that (i) you are not its
authorized agent and it is not legally bound to us for charges to its
Program account made as a result of your actions, or (ii) it has not
expressly authorized changes made by you to its Program account, you will
be liable (jointly and severally with the Advertiser) for all charges
resulting from changes made by you to the Advertiser’s Program account.
