1. Access, Self-Service. Subject to the Agreement:
   1. Gopuff will provide Advertiser with login credentials to use the Platform. Advertiser acknowledges and agrees that access to the Platform is contingent on Advertiser’s ongoing compliance with any additional terms and conditions imposed by Citrus, and that it is Advertiser’s responsibility to comply with (and cause its employees, contractors, and representatives to comply with) this Agreement and any additional Citrus terms and conditions.
   2. Advertiser may use the Platform to design campaigns and bid on Inventory. By bidding on Inventory, Advertiser authorizes Gopuff to place Ads on any Inventory for which Advertiser secures the winning bid, and agrees to pay the winning bid rate for Ad delivery on such Inventory. Advertiser is solely responsible for Ad targeting decisions (e.g., targeted search terms).
   3. Advertiser may create additional user accounts on the Platform, however Advertiser remains responsible and liable for any such users’ compliance with the terms hereof.
2. Performance. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Gopuff does not guarantee the performance of Ads or that Ads will reach the audience targeted. Gopuff makes no warranties of any kind, and expressly disclaims any liability for the functionality or accessibility of the Platform.
3. Changes to Gopuff App. Gopuff will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Advertiser at least ten (10) business days prior notification of any material changes to the Gopuff App or the Platform that would materially change the target audience or materially affect the size or placement of an Ad. Should such a modification occur with or without notice, Advertiser’s sole remedy for such change shall be to cancel the remainder of the affected campaign without penalty within the 10-day notice period. If Gopuff has failed to provide such notification, Advertiser may cancel the remainder of the affected campaign within 30 days of such modification and, in such case, will not be charged for any affected Ads delivered after such modification.
4. Editorial Adjacencies. Gopuff acknowledges that certain Advertisers may not want their Ads placed adjacent to content that promotes pornography, violence, or the use of firearms, or contains obscene language (“Editorial Adjacency Guidelines”). Gopuff will use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with the Editorial Adjacency Guidelines with respect to Ads that appear on Gopuff App, although Gopuff will always retain editorial control over the Gopuff App. Should Ads appear in violation of the Editorial Adjacency Guidelines, Advertiser’s sole and exclusive remedy is to request in writing that Gopuff remove the Ads and provide makegoods or, if no makegood can be agreed upon, issue a credit to Advertiser equal to the value of such Ads, or not bill Advertiser for such Ads. After the Advertiser notifies Gopuff that specific Ads are in violation of the Editorial Adjacency Guidelines, Gopuff will make commercially reasonable efforts to correct such violation within 48 hours.
5. Fees.
   1. Advertiser will pay the fees incurred for Ads displayed in the Inventory, at the winning bid amount for such placement (“Fees”). Fees will be invoiced monthly (invoices will be available on the Platform, Gopuff will not send invoices to Advertiser).
   2. Advertiser will establish and maintain a Payment Account through the Platform (pursuant to a separate agreement between Platform and Advertiser) and authorizes the Platform operator to release monthly payments to Gopuff in satisfaction of Fees.
   3. Advertiser acknowledges and agrees that having insufficient funds in its Payment Account to pay Fees constitutes a material breach of this Agreement.
6. Reporting. Ad and campaign performance reporting will be provided through the Platform. Gopuff will not provide any additional reporting to Advertiser. If both parties are tracking delivery, the measurement used for determining fees will be the Platform reporting.
7. Term; Termination.
   1. The term of this Agreement commences on the date Advertiser first uses the Platform (the “Effective Date”) and continues until terminated (“Term”).
   2. Advertiser may terminate this Agreement at any time by discontinuing use of the Platform.
   3. Gopuff may terminate this Agreement immediately if Advertiser is in breach of the Agreement or any representation, warranty, or covenant herein.
   4. Upon the effective date of termination, Gopuff will revoke Advertiser’s access to the Gopuff App Inventory through the Platform. Any expiration or termination of this Agreement will not affect any rights or obligations of the parties that (a) come into effect upon or after such expiration or termination, or (b) otherwise survives expiration or termination. Termination of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of any of either party’s rights, remedies, or defenses under this Agreement, at law, in equity or otherwise.
8. Representations and Warranties. Advertiser represents, warrants, and covenants that, as of the Effective Date and continuing throughout the Term:

   4. With respect to Ads:

    3. The Receiving Party shall be responsible for any breach of this section caused by any of its representatives.
