Audacy Digital Advertising Terms and Conditions

The organization contracting for the purchase of services or advertising covered by these Audacy Digital Advertising Terms and Conditions (“Client”) and Audacy Operations, Inc. (or an affiliate thereof) (“Audacy”) hereby agree that all such services and advertising shall be governed by the following terms and conditions (the “Agreement”):

1.  PAYMENT AND BILLING

(a)     Audacy will bill Client monthly, using the Final Sunday Fiscal Month, unless otherwise provided on the face of this Agreement.

  • Payment by Client is due upon receipt of invoice.  Client waives any billing dispute if Client does not notify Audacy of such dispute in writing within thirty (30) days from date of the invoice containing such amount in dispute.  In the event Client timely notifies Audacy of such dispute, Client and Audacy shall work diligently with each toward a resolution, but any amount not in dispute shall be promptly paid as described herein.

(c)     If this Agreement is entered into by an agency (the “Agency”), then Agency agrees that Client and Agency are jointly and severally purchasing the advertising hereunder and acknowledges that any credit that has been extended by Audacy has been extended on the basis of the credit and promise to pay of both Agency and Client.  Agency represents and warrants that it is authorized to bind the Client and agrees that Agency and Client shall be jointly and severally liable for the payments to be made under this Agreement.

2.  EFFECT OF BREACH

(a)     Audacy reserves the right to immediately terminate this Agreement upon default by Client in the payment of invoices hereunder.

(b)     In the event of a material breach of the terms hereof, either party may elect to terminate this Agreement after providing the other party with fifteen days prior notice, unless the other party cures such breach within such fifteen day period.

(c)     Upon any termination by Audacy all charges for services or advertising completed hereunder and not paid shall become immediately due and payable. If Audacy terminates by reason of Client’s material breach, Client’s liability shall be to pay for all services and advertising contemplated by this Agreement.

3.  INTERRUPTION OR OMISSION

If for any reason there is an interruption or omission of any advertising or services contracted to be provided hereunder, Audacy may suggest substitute advertising or services.  If no such substitute is acceptable to Client, Audacy shall provide Client with a pro rata reduction of charges hereunder.  The foregoing shall be Audacy’s sole liability for any failure to broadcast/publish any advertising hereunder.

4.  SERVICES AND ADVERTISING

(a)     THIS AGREEMENT IS NON-CANCELABLE.

(b)     Unless otherwise noted on the face of this Agreement, all services and advertising shall be furnished by Audacy or its suppliers and vendors.

(c)     Advertising material provided by Client is subject to approval and Audacy may exercise a continuing right to reject such material, including a right to reject for unsatisfactory technical quality or content.  In the event advertising material is unsatisfactory, Audacy shall have the right to substitute its own material.  In the event the commercial material is unsatisfactory, Audacy will attempt to notify Client by telephone or email.  If Client fails to furnish satisfactory material twenty-four (24) hours prior to broadcast/publication time, Audacy may bill Client (as the case may be) for the time/advertising reserved.  Audacy will use reasonable commercial efforts to broadcast/publish material received from Client despite late receipt.

(d)     In the event Audacy provides copy and/or production services to Client all rights to such copy, production and any audio and /or video recordings thereof shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of Audacy and Client’s permitted use thereof shall be limited to advertising on the Audacy.

(b)              Indemnification by Client.  Client, at its own expense, will jointly and severally indemnify, defend and hold harmless Audacy and its affiliates  (including Audacy’s suppliers and vendors), and their respective employees, representatives and agents from and against any third party Claim to the extent that such Claim is based on, or arises out of libel, violation of right of privacy or publicity, copyright infringement, trademark infringement or other infringement of any third party right, fraud, false advertising, misrepresentation product liability or violation of any law, statute, ordinance, rule or regulation throughout the world in connection with Client Content or any Client web site(s) or contents therein (including, without limitation, any content or keywords resulting from such web site(s)).  For purposes of the foregoing, the term “Client Content” shall mean any content or information submitted by Client to Audacy.
