Company may disclose to Company Partners, or to any other third parties, the Google Ad Manager reports provided by Company and/or Google to Customer; provided that, Company may not disclose to any Company Partners, or to any other third parties, the Revenue Share Percentage or any data that would allow a Company Partner or third party to ascertain the Revenue Share Percentage.
4. Ad Network Account Data. If Customer opts to use Client managed ad network optimization, Customer authorizes Company and/or Google to access, manage, retrieve data from, and analyze data from Customer's accounts with Client-Managed Buyers that are related to the Services ("Ad Network Accounts") (including by automated means). "Client-Managed Buyer," means a purchaser of advertising inventory on the Target Properties (i) from whom Customer is responsible for collection of payment and (ii) with whom Customer has a separate contractual relationship, as indicated by Customer through the Google Ad Manager user interface (including, if applicable, Google acting as a purchaser, for example via an AdSense service).
5. Programmatic Guaranteed. For the Programmatic Guaranteed deal type, Customer will enter accurate and truthful CPM floors or ceilings into the Google Ad Manager user interface that correspond with the business terms entered into by Customer and the applicable buyer(s).
6. Traditional Ad Serving.
6.1 Service Level Agreement. Solely with respect to Traditional Ad Serving, Google will use commercially reasonable endeavours to ensure that Traditional Ad Serving processes Ad requests at least 99% of the time, calculated on a calendar monthly basis as measured by Google from the data center used by Google to serve Ads on Customer's behalf, it being understood that "down" time (calculated as the difference between 100% of time in a calendar month and the actual percentage of time during that month that Ad requests are processed) will exclude time resulting from technical malfunctions in the Target Properties' systems, or any other circumstances beyond Google's reasonable control (including, without limitation, Internet delays, network congestion and ISP malfunctions). If downtime exceeds 1% in any month during the Term, then Customer will receive a reduction in fees, credited to the next month's invoice, calculated by multiplying (i) the Average Impressions Per Hour, by (ii) the down time (rounded to the nearest hour), and by (iii) the effective CPM rate charged by Google for Ads served by Google during that month. The "Average Impressions Per Hour" is determined by dividing the total number of Ads served in the previous month by the total number of hours in that month. The remedy set out above in this paragraph is Customer's sole remedy for any and all Traditional Ad Serving unavailability.
6.2 Click Limit. Solely with respect to Traditional Ad Serving, the number of times a Tag served via Traditional Ad Serving tracks an End User's click on a text-link or other placement without delivering an Ad impression associated with the Tag will not be greater than 0.3% of the total number of Customer's Ad impressions served in a particular calendar month.
