Version 10.2
Effective October 24th 2024
DownloadTable of Contents
Effective Date: January 25, 2024
These terms were last revised and are current as of the effective date set forth above. Outbrain reserves the right to change these terms from time to time.
Amplify Terms and Conditions
These Amplify Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) are entered into by Outbrain Inc. (“Outbrain”) and the entity executing an Insertion Order or using the Outbrain dashboard (“Customer”). These Terms govern Customer’s use of the Service (as defined below), and together with an Insertion Order (or the information entered through the Outbrain dashboard (“Dashboard”)) comprise the "Agreement" between Outbrain and Customer. If there is any inconsistency between: (i) the terms of a signed Insertion Order or those entered through the Dashboard (either “Campaign Details”), and (ii) these Terms, the Campaign Details, as applicable, shall prevail.
1. Services
1.1 Outbrain partners with a network of online properties (the “Network”) to display a user interface containing links that navigate to websites. Outbrain uses its proprietary algorithms, serving methodology, and advanced buying tools to deliver ads on behalf of clients to relevant audiences throughout the Network (the “Service”).
1.2 Outbrain shall display links to graphical, textual, video and/or auditory content selected by Customer on the Network. Such links, together with the headlines, images, and/or video that may accompany the links and the destination page reached from any such link are the “Content.” Outbrain shall continue to distribute the Content on the Network until the earlier of: (i) the end date of Customer’s campaign; (ii) reaching of Customer’s budget; or (iii) the disabling of a campaign (provided that Outbrain reserves the right to charge for additional Actions (as defined in Section 5.1) as the Content is removed from circulation – see FAQs for more details).
1.3 Outbrain does not guarantee: (i) the placement, positioning or the timing of delivery of any Content; (ii) clicks or impressions (including clicks from a particular audience segment); and/or (iii) conversions. If Fees (as defined in Section 5) do not reach Customer’s budget, Customer's sole remedies shall be to: (i) subject to Section 2 below, extend the end date of the applicable campaign, (ii) replace or add to the existing Content with other Content; or (iii) to pay only for accrued Fees. In no event shall Outbrain be liable for failure to deliver clicks, impressions and/or views to Content.
1.4 Outbrain will make reports available to Customer regarding the campaign(s). The final monthly reports (which may differ from the daily reports) will provide the conclusive basis for Outbrain's calculation of Fees owed by Customer. Customer may submit its own Outbrain-compatible tracker. If there is a ten percent (10%) discrepancy or more between Customer's numbers and Outbrain's numbers, then the parties agree to work in good faith to identify the correct amount to be paid to Outbrain. If the discrepancy is less than ten percent (10%), Outbrain's numbers shall be conclusive.
2. Content
2.1 Customer is solely responsible for the Content. Customer has the right to and authorizes Outbrain to place the Content on the Network. Customer is authorized to use and/or has approved all images and words of the Content’s headline (whether created or generated by Customer or on Customer’s behalf). Content headlines and images must accurately reflect the tone and subject matter of the Content. To the extent Outbrain (and/or integrated tools) provide recommendations as to the Content, headlines and/or campaign, Customer remains solely responsible.
2.2 Customer shall not, directly or indirectly, provide Content that: (i) is obscene, defamatory, libelous, slanderous, pornographic, violent, profane, indecent or unlawful; (ii) is factually inaccurate, misleading or deceptive; and/or (iii) facilitates or promotes any type of illegal activity, including without limitation pyramid schemes, gambling, the sale or use of illicit drugs, or discrimination or harassment of any individual or group. Further, Content may not (a) redirect to a destination other than as originally submitted to the Service, and/or (b) be substantively different from the Content originally submitted to Outbrain.
2.3 Content must comply with Outbrain's Advertising Guidelines, as may be updated from time to time by Outbrain. Outbrain may at any time (at its sole discretion) reject or remove Content.
2.4 Customer acknowledges and agrees that certain Content may change during the course of a campaign (e.g., due to revisions by the Content's author, comments from readers, or otherwise). Customer's recourse in the event of such change shall be to direct Outbrain to remove such Content from its then-current campaign and/or select other Content. Customer further acknowledges that, if there is an objection to the Content (whether from the Content author or publisher, or otherwise), Outbrain will act in accordance with Section 2 of its Terms of Use and may cease (at its sole discretion) including the Content in the Service or require Customer to make changes to the Content.
2.5 Both parties shall implement anti-malware scanning processes of the Content. Upon notice, both parties shall take immediate action to remove any suspicious Content from the Network.
3. Term and Cancellation
The Campaign Details will set forth the start and end date of a particular campaign. However, the Agreement, or an individual campaign may be suspended or terminated: (i) by Customer for any reason upon two (2) business days' written notice to Outbrain or within twelve (12) hours through the Dashboard, or (ii) by Outbrain for any reason upon two (2) days’ written notice to Customer. During the notice period, all previously contracted campaigns shall continue to run pursuant to the Campaign Details and Customer shall be responsible for paying Outbrain for all Fees accrued up to and including the last day of such notice period. Outbrain also reserves the right at its sole discretion to immediately suspend or terminate all or part of Customer's use of the Service if Outbrain reasonably believes Customer is in breach of the terms of this Agreement.
4. Campaign Details
If Customer utilizes Outbrain’s Dashboard, Customer will have access to certain online reports and control over its campaign(s). To the extent Customer registers and has access to the Dashboard, Outbrain may collect certain personal data of Customer. Outbrain collects and processes this personal data in order to respond to Customer questions or requests, provide Customer with access to certain services, verify Customer’s identity and communicate with Customer about the use of the Service. Customer is solely responsible for all changes requested or approved (either directly or via Outbrain's API), including those made through the Dashboard using its login. Customer is solely responsible for protecting its login and password to the Dashboard. Customer can manage campaigns using the Dashboard by modifying the Campaign Details, and/or Customer may have the option of working with an Outbrain account manager, as determined by Outbrain.
5. Fees and Payment Terms
5.1 Ads displayed on the Network are paid for via one of following payment methods: (i) cost-per-click (“CPC”); (ii) cost-per thousand impressions (“CPM”); (iii) cost-per-completed view (“CPCv”) where completed view means fifty percent (50%) of the video Ad/Content is in view continuously from beginning to the end of video; (iv) cost-per thousand Viewable Impressions (“vCPM”); and/or (v) other desired actions agreed between the parties from time to time (each, an “Action”). A viewable impression is counted as viewable if fifty percent (50%) of the video ad is in view continuously for 2 seconds. Outbrain fees will be based on the number of Actions, plus the cost of the Service (the “Fees”), which will not exceed Customer’s pre-designated maximum budget. Customer shall pay Outbrain the Fees as measured by Outbrain's tracking system up to the maximum budget designated in the Campaign Details. Outbrain may charge any applicable national, state, or local sales or use taxes, value added taxes or country-specific fees that Outbrain is legally obligated to charge. If CPC is being used for campaign measurement, such CPC may not be less than Outbrain’s then-in-effect minimum CPC (which may vary by market). If Customer is utilizing Outbrain’s automatic bidding feature, Customer grants Outbrain the right to set and modify Customer’s CPC at Outbrain’s discretion to aid in achieving Customer’s targets for its campaign. Customer shall be solely responsible for any additional fees incurred for utilizing third party services on its campaign(s). For the avoidance of doubt, Outbrain will not cover, credit or reimburse any third party fees, including, but not limited to, use of any third-party tracker(s) on Customer’s campaign(s). Customer may increase or decrease its budget through the Dashboard or through a signed amendment to an Insertion Order.
5.2 If Customer has signed an Insertion Order, Fees will generally be invoiced by Outbrain to Customer by the end of the following calendar month unless otherwise set forth in an Insertion Order. Customer shall pay all invoices within thirty (30) days from receipt. Any portion of a charge not disputed (pursuant to Section 5.3) in good faith must be paid in full. If Customer has provided the Campaign Details through the Dashboard or has signed an Insertion Order and has used a credit card for billing purposes, Outbrain shall charge the Outbrain fees (including processing fees) to Customer’s credit card at such intervals as Outbrain determines in its sole discretion. The decision as to whether to allow Customer to choose between invoice and credit card, and/or require a prepayment prior to the start of a campaign) rests solely with Outbrain. Outbrain shall review all billing inquiries, including refund requests, on a case-by-case basis and reserves the right to approve or deny any request in its sole discretion.
5.3 If Customer disputes any amount on an invoice, Customer must provide written notice to Outbrain (email is sufficient) within thirty (30) days of receipt of any invoice or the right to dispute shall be deemed waived. Customer’s email must include the amount disputed and provide adequate information to support any such claim. Customer may not withhold payment for any undisputed amounts, and any portion of a charge not disputed in good faith must be paid in full.
5.4 If payment is not made when due and not properly disputed pursuant to Section 5.3, Outbrain may charge interest at the rate of six percent (6%) per annum from the due date until the date of actual payment, whether before or after judgment. Outbrain also reserves the right to suspend or terminate any or all of Customer's use of the Service until Customer has paid all amounts due. Outbrain reserves the right to charge Customer for all costs of collection, including collection agency and reasonable legal fees and court costs. Customer authorizes Outbrain to investigate Customer's credit record. If applicable, Customer agrees to provide such further financial information and documentation as may be required from time to time by Outbrain as a condition for the continued extension of credit. Customer acknowledges and agrees that any account, credit card and related billing and payment information which Customer provides to Outbrain may be shared by Outbrain with companies who work on Outbrain's behalf solely for the purpose of performing credit checks, effecting payment to Outbrain, collecting debts owed to Outbrain and/or servicing Customer's account. Outbrain may, in its sole discretion, extend, revise or revoke credit at any time. In addition, Outbrain reserves the right to require immediate payment of any outstanding balance that exceeds Customer’s credit limit and/or past the payment terms defined in this Agreement.
6. Additional Features and Terms
6.1 Outbrain may also make additional Service features available to Customer from time to time and use of such features may be subject to Customer’s agreement to certain additional terms and conditions (“Additional Terms”) (e.g., via an online click-through agreement or via the Dashboard). Such features will be provided at Outbrain’s discretion to Customer and may include fees in addition to those described in Section 5.1. Customer’s acceptance of the Additional Terms will constitute a binding and enforceable agreement as between Outbrain and Customer. In the event of any inconsistency between these Terms, the Additional Terms, and the Campaign Details, the order of precedence is: (i) Additional Terms, (ii) Campaign Details, and (iii) these Terms. Customers who choose to utilize LiveRamp services (via the Outbrain Dashboard or otherwise) for purposes of their Outbrain campaign(s) are subject to LiveRamp Terms.
6.2 Subject to Customer’s compliance with Section 9 below, Customer may place on Customer’s website, application pages or landing pages: (i) Outbrain pixel(s) (the “Outbrain Pixel”); and/or (ii) third party pixels or tags (“the “Third Party Pixels”) for the purpose of providing analytics related to Customer’s campaign and/or enhanced targeting functionality (the Outbrain Pixel and Third Party Pixels together are the “Pixels”). Customer represents and warrants that: (a) its use of the Pixels are in accordance with Data Protection Laws; and (b) it has provided appropriate notice to users regarding use of the Pixels, including an explanation: (x) that third parties, including Outbrain, may use cookies or similar technologies to collect or receive information from Customer’s website(s), and may use that information to provide measurement services and target ads; (y) as to how users opt-out of the collection of information for targeting purposes; and (z) it will not use the Pixels on websites or application pages that target minors and/or contain sensitive categories of data (e.g., physical or mental health conditions). Customer shall not use the Pixels unless and until it has complied with the provisions of this Section 6.2. Further, if an end-user has opted out of behavioral advertising via Customer’s site(s) (or a mechanism such as settings within an advertiser application), Customer shall be fully responsible for not loading the Outbrain Pixel. Outbrain may update, change, or substitute the Outbrain Pixel functionality at any time in its reasonable discretion provided that it does not disrupt the functioning of Customer’s landing page and serves the same purpose.
6.3 If Customer utilizes third party segments for enhanced targeting of its campaign(s) (“3rd Party Targeting”), Customer shall pay for its use of 3rd Party Targeting (“3rd Party Data Costs”) including any applicable taxes. Customer’s invoice for each campaign shall include both the Fees, and the 3rd Party Data Costs (if applicable). Customer agrees that 3rd Party Data costs will be based on Outbrain’s reporting metrics. If Customer utilizes 3rd Party Targeting, Customer shall: (x) disclose this to users via an appropriate notice and/or in its privacy policy (as applicable); and (y) represent and warrant that its use of 3rd Party Targeting shall, at all times, be compliant with Data Protection Laws and satisfy the requirements for an appropriate legal basis for processing. Customer shall not, at any time, use 3rd Party Targeting: (i) for discriminatory purposes; (ii) to target minors under the age of sixteen (16); (iii) based on Special Categories of Personal Data; (iv) based on Personal Data relating to alleged or confirmed criminal convictions or offenses; and/or (v) otherwise in violation of any applicable law in any country where the campaign is performed.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may disclose Confidential Information strictly necessary to comply with the demands of any court order, law or governmental agency and Outbrain may share Confidential Information of Customer with any holding company of Customer or with any subsidiary company of Customer’s holding company.

3.1 During the Term, Partner will be paid as set forth on the Partner Enrollment Form. For the avoidance of doubt, Revenue is net of, inter alia, advertiser fees, third-party data services integrated into Outbrain’s platform, invalid clicks/impressions, and advertiser and agency discounts/rebates.
3.2 Partner must promptly provide Outbrain completed and accurate tax forms and all other similar materials Outbrain requires, which may include tax form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or W-9 if applicable (collectively all such forms and materials, “Tax Materials”). Notwithstanding anything set forth to the contrary in this Agreement, Outbrain may (a) withhold payments owed to Partner hereunder without penalty or late fee until Outbrain has received Partner’s Tax Materials, and (b) deduct any applicable taxes payable by Outbrain from payments owed to Partner hereunder as required by law. Once Outbrain has received the Tax Materials, Outbrain will use commercially reasonable efforts to pay any amounts not paid to Partner pursuant to the foregoing subsection (a) as soon as reasonably practicable.
3.3 To ensure proper payment, Partner is responsible for notifying Outbrain in writing of accurate contact and payment information. Partner is also responsible for any charges assessed by Partner’s bank or payment provider. If the amount owed to Partner is less than US$50, then the amount owed will be accrued if and until the calendar month in which the balance of the payments due to Partner exceeds US$50. Any dispute regarding a payment from Outbrain must be submitted to Outbrain in writing within thirty (30) calendar days of postage or wire transfer date of such payment or it shall be deemed waived.
3.4 In addition to Outbrain’s other rights and remedies, Outbrain may (i) withhold and offset any payments owed to Partner under the Agreement (including in case of a material breach) against any fees Partner owes Outbrain under the Agreement or any other agreement), and/or (ii) require Partner to refund Outbrain within thirty (30) calendar days of any invoice, any amounts Outbrain may have overpaid to Partner in prior periods. If an Outbrain advertiser or client whose Advertiser Recs were displayed on any Partner Sites defaults on payment to Outbrain, for any reason, Outbrain may withhold payment or charge back Partner’s account.
4. PRIVACY. The provisions of the Engage Data Sharing Agreement shall be fully incorporated into, and form part of, this Agreement.
5. LICENSE TERMS.
5.1 During the Term and subject to Partner’s compliance with all of the terms of the Agreement, Outbrain grants Partner a limited, non-exclusive, revocable, non-sublicensable, non- transferable licence to use the Technology to display the Advertiser Recs, and to the extent permitted by Section 2.5 Recirculation Recs, on Partner Sites in the form and format provided.
5.2 Outbrain grants Partner, during the Term, a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to use and display Outbrain’s trademarks, service marks and logos (collectively, “Outbrain Marks”), as incorporated into the Technology, strictly in accordance with Partner’s obligations and rights in the Agreement. All goodwill arising out of Partner’s use of any of the Outbrain Marks shall inure solely to the benefit of Outbrain. Outbrain shall have the right to refer to Partner and the Partner Sites in any general listing of advertisers or partners (including in marketing and sales materials) who have implemented the Technology. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party will request prior written consent before issuing a press release regarding the Agreement or using the other party’s name on its website other than in accordance with the Agreement.
5.3 As between the parties: (a) Outbrain retains all right, title and interest in and to the Outbrain Marks, Technology and Data (excluding any Content from the Partner Sites which shall be owned by Partner), the Outbrain site at www.outbrain.com and the Dashboard; and (b) Partner retains all right, title and interest in and to the Partner Sites including the look and feel excluding the items described in subparagraph (a) above.
5.4 The licences granted under the Agreement are specifically set forth in the Agreement; there are no implied rights. All rights not expressly granted to Partner in the Agreement are reserved by Outbrain.
6. PROHIBITED ACTIVITY.
6.1 Partner will not: (i) edit, modify, truncate, filter, or change the order of Recommendations; (ii) obscure, modify or redirect End Users away from a Destination Page, or intersperse any Content between the Recommendations and any Destination Page; (iii) minimize, remove or otherwise inhibit the full and complete display of the Technology; (iv) artificially inflate clicks or impressions on Recommendations, or encourage or require any person to click on Recommendations using incentives or other methods and/or engage in any automated, deceptive, fraudulent, invalid, incentivized, or other methods that are designed to generate clicks which are not the willing actions of End Users; (v) remove, deface, obscure, or alter any notices of Intellectual Property Rights included in the Technology; (vi) access, reproduce or use the Technology in any manner or for any purpose other than as expressly permitted under the Agreement; (vii) modify, adapt, translate, prepare derivative works from, decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble the Technology or otherwise attempt to derive source code from the Technology, or attempt to create a substitute or similar service or product through use of or access to Technology or related proprietary information or otherwise use the Technology on behalf of or for the benefit of any third party; (viii) attempt to interfere with or disrupt the Technology or attempt to gain access to any systems or networks that connect to it other than through the Technology as implemented pursuant to the Agreement; (ix) copy, cache, distribute, display, alter, or otherwise use any Recommendations (or authorize or assist any third party to do so) except as such Recommendations are provided through the Technology; or (x) use the Technology for any purpose not authorized by Outbrain, including for any purpose that is inconsistent with the implementation guidelines as provided to Partner.
6.2 Partner will not deploy the Technology on any properties that display or contain adult, obscene, pornographic, defamatory, libelous, infringing, abusive, fake or deceptive or illegal Content, that promotes hate or discrimination, facilitates the sale of firearms or illegal drugs, or that participates or encourages participation in, illegal activities or is directed at children under of the age of 16. Outbrain reserves the right in its sole discretion to disable the Technology on any property at any time.
7. REGISTRATION. Partner may register for the Outbrain dashboard (the “Dashboard”) to access online reports and control certain settings for the Technology. To the extent that Partner has access to the Dashboard, Outbrain may collect Partner’s (or individuals who act on behalf of Partner) personally identifiable information associated with such Dashboard access. Partner will be solely responsible for all changes to data made by it, or individuals acting on Partner’s behalf, through the Dashboard. Estimates of Revenue paid or payable Partner displayed in the Dashboard are provided solely for the Partner’s convenience. Outbrain does not guarantee that these estimated amounts displayed, if any, shall be precise or definitively due to be paid to Partner pursuant to the Agreement. Access to Outbrain dashboard shall be solely at the discretion of Outbrain and may be discontinued by Outbrain at any time.
8. SUSPENSION OF TECHNOLOGY; TERMINATION.
8.1 Outbrain may suspend or discontinue all or any aspect of the Technology, including its availability, at any time if required by exigent circumstances (such as a significant security breach, propagation of malware, other viruses to users, etc.) or other improper, unlawful, fraudulent or misleading circumstances.
8.2 Either party may terminate the Agreement at any time in the event of a material breach by the other party of any provision of the Agreement that remains uncured for fourteen (14) days after the breaching party’s receipt of written notice of the breach.
8.3 The Agreement is terminable on fourteen (14) days prior written notice unless otherwise stated on the Partner Enrollment Form. In addition, Outbrain may terminate the Agreement if the Technology is not implemented within thirty (30) days of Outbrain providing the Technology to Partner. Upon expiration or termination of the Agreement, all rights and obligations of the parties under the Agreement will be extinguished, except that Sections 9.6, 9.7, 10, 11 and 13 of the Terms will survive termination, as well as any other terms of this Agreement which, by their nature should survive termination, and continue to bind the parties.
9. LIMITED WARRANTIES; INDEMNITY.
9.1 Each party represents and warrants to the other that: (i) it has all right, power, and authority necessary to enter into the Agreement and perform its obligations under it; and (ii) it will comply with all applicable laws, regulations and orders in its performance of the Agreement.
9.2 Outbrain warrants that the Technology (as provided and made available by Outbrain and implemented by Partner in accordance with the Agreement) does not and will not, to the best of Outbrain's knowledge, infringe any Intellectual Property Right of any third party.
9.3 Partner represents and warrants that the Partner Sites: (i) owns or has the right to operate the Partner Site(s); (ii) will adhere to the Outbrain Partner Guidelines and/or to the Partner’s own guidelines which shall be substantially similar to Outbrains’; (iii) do not and will not contain any Content that is illegal or that infringes any Intellectual Property Rights of any third party; (iv) will not contain any obscene, defamatory, libelous, slanderous material or material that violates any person’s right of publicity, privacy or personality; and (v) do not and will not knowingly contain a misrepresentation of fact or factual inaccuracy.
9.4 Nothing in the Agreement shall be construed as a promise of any sort of minimum traffic volumes, clicks, impressions or usage or any other such commitments by Outbrain to Partner.
9.5 Except as expressly provided in the Agreement, neither party makes any representations or warranties, express or implied in relation to the Agreement, the Partner Sites, the Technology, any Content made available by Outbrain through the Technology or any other matters (including any implied terms relating to satisfactory quality or fitness for any purpose, any warranties of availability or uninterrupted or error free performance, any warranties arising out of any course of performance or dealing).
9.6 Outbrain makes no representations or warranties concerning any Content contained in or accessed via the Technology, including without limitation Advertiser Recs, and Outbrain will not be responsible or liable for the contents, accuracy, intellectual property infringement, legality or decency of Content provided through the Technology or for Partner’s reliance on any of the foregoing.
9.7 Each party (the “Indemnifying Party”) shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other party and its parent and affiliates, and each of its and their respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, members, authorized representatives, employees and agents (collectively, the “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, settlements, regulatory findings and/or fines and other expenses (including reasonable legal fees) (collectively, “Claims”) that arise out of any third party claim occasioned by any breach of any of the Indemnifying Party’s representations and warranties in this Agreement. The Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of any Claim in writing, provided, however, that any delay in providing such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any of its obligations except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such delay. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense and settlement of the Claim with counsel of its own choosing and its own expense, subject to the Indemnifying Party’s control thereof.
10. CONFIDENTIALITY. Each party (the “Receiving Party”) acknowledges that it will have access to certain information and materials, including the terms of the Agreement, concerning the business, technology, products and services of the other party (the “Disclosing Party”) that are, or reasonably should be considered given the circumstances of disclosure to be, confidential (“Confidential Information”). Confidential Information will not include: (a) information known to the Receiving Party prior to disclosure by the Disclosing Party; (b) information independently developed by the Receiving Party without reference to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party; (c) information that is or becomes publicly known through no fault of the Receiving Party; or (d) information disclosed to the Receiving Party by a third party without breach of any obligation of confidence. Except as permitted hereunder, the Receiving Party (i) will not use any Confidential Information for its own benefit or the benefit of any third party, and (ii) will not disclose any Confidential Information to any third party other than its directors, employees, contractors, advisors, investors or potential investors who have a need to know and who have agreed not to use, and to maintain the confidentiality of, the Confidential Information consistent with this Section 10. The Receiving Party will return or destroy the Confidential Information promptly upon the Disclosing Party’s written request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information to the extent required by applicable law or legal process, provided that the Receiving Party provides prompt written notice of any required disclosure to the Disclosing Party and provides reasonable cooperation (at the Disclosing Party’s expense) with any effort by the Disclosing Party to contest or limit the scope of such disclosure.
11. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
11.1 Neither Outbrain nor the Partner exclude or limit liability to the other for: (i) death or personal injury caused by its negligence or that of its employees or contractors; (ii) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or (iii) any other liability which cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
11.2 SUBJECT ALWAYS TO SECTION 11.1, NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE AGREEMENT OR ANY BREACH HEREOF (INCLUDING FOR LOSS OF DATA OR COST OF COVER), WHETHER OR NOT SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND WHETHER UNDER A THEORY OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE.
11.3 SUBJECT ALWAYS TO SECTION 11.1 AND EXCEPT FOR LIABILITIES ARISING OUT OF A PARTY’S VIOLATION, MISAPPROPRIATION OR INFRINGEMENT OF A PARTY’S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS,IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE AGREEMENT OR ANY BREACH HEREOF (WHETHER UNDER A THEORY OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), WARRANTY OR OTHERWISE) EXCEED THE GREATER OF ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($100,000) OR THE AMOUNT OF REVENUE PAID OR PAYABLE TO THE PARTNER IN THE 12-MONTH PERIOD IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO LIABILITY (OR, IN THE CASE OF A SERIES OF CONNECTED EVENTS, THE FIRST SUCH EVENT).
12. EXPORT CONTROLS. Partner will comply with all export laws and restrictions and regulations of the Department of Commerce, the United States Department of Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC"), or other United States or foreign agency or authority, and shall not export, or allow the export or re-export of the Technology in violation of any such restrictions, laws or regulations. By downloading or using the Technology, Partner agrees to the foregoing and represent and warrants that it is not located in, under the control of, or a national or resident of any restricted country. Partner represents and warrants that none of it, or any individual, entity, or organization holding any ownership interest or controlling interest in Partner, including any officer or director, is an individual, entity, organization with whom any United States law, regulation, or executive order prohibits U.S. companies and individuals from dealing, including, names appearing on the Specially Designated Nationals List.
13. MISCELLANEOUS. The Agreement shall be interpreted and construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict of law provisions or the United Nations Conventions for the International Sale of Goods. Any action or proceeding arising from or relating to the Agreement must be brought in a federal court in the Southern District of New York or in state court in New York County, New York, and each party irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction and venue of any such court in any such action or proceeding. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if any of the provisions of the Agreement is not performed in accordance with these specific terms. Accordingly, the parties agree that each shall be entitled to injunctive relief to prevent breaches of the Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of the Agreement, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. The parties are independent contractors, and nothing in the Agreement will be construed to create a partnership, joint venture, agency or other relationship between the parties. No failure or forbearance by a party to enforce any of its rights under the Agreement or insist upon performance of the other party’s obligations under the Agreement will be deemed a waiver of such rights or obligations to any extent, and no waiver by either party of any default or breach of the Agreement will constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent default or breach. Neither party will be liable for any failure to perform due to causes beyond the party's reasonable control. The Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties concerning its subject matter and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements or understandings, written or verbal, concerning such subject matter. The Partner Enrollment Form may be amended, modified or superseded, only by a written instrument signed by both parties. The headings in the Agreement are for the convenience of reference only and have no legal effect. Any reference to days in the Agreement shall be deemed business days unless otherwise specified. The Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. If any provision of the Agreement is held to be unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable, failing which, it shall be severed from the Agreement and the balance of the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. Neither party may assign the Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the other party’s prior written consent, except (i) due to operation of law, merger, reorganization, or as a result of an acquisition or change of control, and (ii) by Outbrain to its subsidiaries. Subject to the foregoing, the Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their permitted successors and assigns.

3. Outbrain-Nutzertypen (inkl. Deaktivierungsoptionen) | + |
Ein Großteil dieser Datenschutzbestimmungen ist in einzelne Abschnitte unterteilt, die sich daran orientieren, wie Sie mit Outbrain interagieren. Sie sind entweder ein Websitebesucher, ein Nutzer und/oder ein Geschäftspartner (siehe nachfolgende Definitionen). Bitte entscheiden Sie, welcher Nutzertyp Sie sind. Entsprechend den einzelnen Nutzertypen erläutern wir, welche Informationen wir erfassen und warum wir dies tun, welche Cookies und anderen vergleichbaren Technologien wir nutzen, wie wir diese Informationen weitergeben und über welche Rechte Sie verfügen.
|
4. Sicherheitsmaßnahmen, Übertragung außerhalb des EWR, Weitergabe und Datenspeicherung | + |
Sicherheit Outbrain verfügt über ein spezielles Sicherheitsteam. Wir führen eine strenge Kontrolle der durch uns erfassten personenbezogenen Daten durch und speichern diese in durch Firewalls geschützten und sicheren Datenbanken mit streng begrenzten und kontrollierten Zugriffsrechten, damit deren Sicherheit gewährleistet ist. Weitere Informationen können Sie unseren Sicherheitsstandards entnehmen. Geschäftspartner haben Zugriff auf bestimmte passwortgeschützte Funktionen der Dienstleistungen Amplify oder Engage. Die Geschäftspartner tragen dafür Verantwortung, dieses Passwort vertraulich zu behandeln und dafür zu sorgen, dass es auch von ihren Mitarbeitern und/oder Vertretern vertraulich behandelt wird. Bitte denken Sie daran, dass die Informationsübertragung über das Internet leider niemals vollständig sicher ist. Ein häufig vorkommender Internetbetrug wird als „Spoofing“ oder „Phishing“ bezeichnet. Dabei erhalten Sie eine E-Mail, die von einer vertrauenswürdigen Quelle zu stammen scheint und in der Ihre personenbezogenen Daten erfragt werden. Bitte beachten Sie, dass wir Ihnen keine E-Mails senden, in denen wir Sie um die Überprüfung Ihrer Kreditkarten- oder Bankdaten oder anderer personenbezogener Daten bitten. Sollten Sie jemals eine E-Mail erhalten, die den Anschein erweckt, von uns zu sein, und in der derartige Daten von Ihnen angefordert werden, antworten Sie nicht darauf und klicken Sie auch auf keine Links in dieser E-Mail. Leiten Sie stattdessen diese E-Mail an uns unter legal@outbrain.com, weiter, da wir Fälle möglichen Internetbetrugs untersuchen. Datenübertragungen außerhalb der EU/des EWR Wenn wir Daten aus dem Europäischen Wirtschaftsraum (EWR) übertragen, stellen wir sicher, dass diese Übertragungen mit den geltenden Datenschutzgesetzen übereinstimmen. Darunter fallen, falls anwendbar, die Standardvertragsklauseln der Europäischen Kommission oder eine positive Angemessenheitsfeststellung der Europäischen Kommission gemäß Artikel 25 Absatz 6 der Richtlinie 95/46/EG oder Artikel 45 der DSGVO. Dies bedeutet, dass Ihre Rechte und der Schutz Ihrer Daten an Ihre Daten geknüpft sind und wir anerkannte Vertragsklauseln und weitere Maßnahmen verwenden, durch die für den Schutz Ihrer personenbezogenen Daten durch die Empfänger gesorgt ist. Bei Outbrain gelten zwischen den Outbrain-Einheiten die Standardvertragsklauseln für den Datentransfer außerhalb des EWR. Weitergabe von Daten Zusätzlich zu der beschriebenen Offenlegung Ihrer personenbezogenen Daten der einzelnen Nutzerarten legen wir personenbezogene Daten unter Umständen wie folgt offen:
Datenspeicherung Die Speicherfrist für jedes durch Outbrain verwendete Cookie (egal ob unser eigenes oder für uns durch Dritte) ist in Cookie-Tabellegenannt. Insbesondere das Outbrain-Cookie (Obuid), das für die Nachverfolgung von Nutzeraktivitäten wie Klicks verwendet wird, erlischt drei (3) Monate, nachdem ein Nutzer eine bestimmte Seite innerhalb unseres Netzwerks besucht hat. Das Cookie wird jedoch wieder aktiviert, wenn ein Nutzer zur selben Seite oder einer anderen Seite innerhalb unseres Netzwerks zurückkehrt. Zudem speichern wir keine individuellen Datenpunkte über einen Nutzer für mehr als 13 Monate. Falls beispielsweise UUID 123 am 31. Dezember 2018 einen Artikel gelesen hat, ist dieser Artikel am 1. Februar 2019 nicht mehr Teil des Profils von UUID 123. Outbrain verfügt zudem über eine Richtlinie zur Datenspeicherung, in der die Speicherfrist für personenbezogene Daten aufgeführt ist, die auf unserer Analyse basiert, welche Speicherfrist für bestimmte Daten aus rechtlichen oder geschäftlichen Gründen angemessen ist. Wenn wir personenbezogene Daten nicht mehr benötigen, löschen oder vernichten wir diese auf sichere Weise. Zusammengefasste Daten, durch die kein Gerät/Browser (oder keine Person) identifiziert werden kann und die für die Berichterstattung und Analyse benötigt werden, behalten wir so lange, wie dies wirtschaftlich nötig ist. |
5. Kinder und sensible Daten | + |
Kinder Keine unserer Dienstleistungen richtet sich beabsichtigt an Kinder unter 16 Jahren. Wir erfassen wissentlich keine personenbezogenen Daten von Personen unter 16 Jahren. Stellen wir bei der Datenerfassung fest, dass ein Websitebesucher, ein Nutzer oder ein Geschäftspartner unter 16 ist, verwenden oder behalten wir seine/ihre personenbezogenen Daten nicht. Wenn wir davon Kenntnis erlangen, dass wir unwissentlich personenbezogene Daten von einem Kind im Alter von unter 16 erfasst haben, ergreifen wir angemessene Anstrengungen zur Löschung dieser Daten aus unseren Verzeichnissen. Wenn du ein Kind bist, nutze Outbrain nicht, verlasse diese Seite und geh lieber spielen! Sensible Daten Wir sammeln und erfassen keine sensiblen personenbezogenen Daten. |
6. Besucher des europäischen Gebiets | + |
In Übereinstimmung mit bestimmten Datenschutzgesetzen, insbesondere der europäischen Datenschutz-Grundverordnung (DSGVO), gewährt Outbrain Personen, die mit Outbrain interagieren, bestimmte zusätzliche Rechte wie das Recht auf Zugriff, Berichtigung, Einspruch, Beschwerde, Löschung und Blockierung. Insbesondere und unter bestimmten Umständen:
Neben dem oben Genannten weisen wir in diesen Datenschutzbestimmungen auf bestimmte Rechte für Bürger des europäischen Gebiets hin. Laut der DSGVO bezeichnet die Formulierung „Bürger aus europäischen Gebieten“ den Europäischen Wirtschaftsraum (EWR), die Europäische Freihandelsassoziation (EFTA) und die Schweiz. Im Sinne dieser Datenschutzbestimmungen umfasst der Begriff „europäische Gebiete“ weiterhin das Vereinigte Königreich, auch nachdem dieses den Europäischen Wirtschaftsraum im Anschluss an den Brexit verlässt. |
7. „Do Not Track“-Angabe | + |
Einige Browser senden an Websites „Do Not Track (DNT)“-Signale, mit denen der Website mitgeteilt wird, dass die Aktivitäten des Nutzers nicht verfolgt werden sollen. Es besteht jedoch kein allgemeingültiges Verständnis darüber, wie DNT-Signale zu interpretieren sind, und daher findet durch Outbrain derzeit keine Modifizierung, Änderung oder Reaktion auf die DNT-Anforderungen oder -Signale von diesen Browsern statt. Wir beobachten weiterhin die Branchenaktivitäten in diesem Bereich und bewerten unsere DNT-Verfahren bei Bedarf neu. Zwischenzeitlich können Sie eine Reihe anderer durch uns bereitgestellter Tools zur Kontrolle der Datenerfassung und -nutzung einsetzen, unter anderem die Möglichkeit, im Nutzerbereich den Erhalt personalisierter Empfehlungen zu deaktivieren. |
8. Mögliche Änderungen dieser Datenschutzbestimmungen | + |
Wir ändern diese Datenschutzbestimmungen zu gegebener Zeit. Darüber informieren wir durch einen deutlichen Hinweis, der für Sie als Websitebesucher oder Geschäftspartner erkennbar ist. Wir haben jedoch keine Möglichkeit, Nutzern gegenüber eine Aktualisierung durch eine Mitteilung anzukündigen. Sie sollten sich regelmäßig diese Datenschutzbestimmungen ansehen, um zu erfahren, ob es ein Update gab, da wir stets das Datum der letzten Änderung der Datenschutzbestimmungen oben auf der Seite anzeigen, damit Sie wissen, wann diese zuletzt überarbeitet wurden. |

2. Adhesión y alianza | + |
|
3. Tipos de usuarios de Outbrain (incluyendo las opciones adicionales de inhabilitación) | + |
Gran parte de esta Política de privacidad está dividida en apartados en función de la manera en que usted puede interactuar con Outbrain. Usted es un Visitante del sitio, un Usuario o un Socio comercial (como se define a continuación). Por favor, determine qué tipo de usuario es. Para cada tipo de usuario hemos explicado qué información recopilamos y por qué, qué cookies y otras tecnologías similares utilizamos, cómo compartimos dicha información y sus derechos.
|
4. Medidas de seguridad, transmisiones fuera del EEE, intercambio y retención de datos | + |
Seguridad Outbrain tiene un equipo de seguridad específico. Mantenemos un estricto control de los datos personales que recopilamos y los retenemos en bases de datos seguras y protegidas por cortafuegos con derechos de acceso estrictamente limitados y controlados, para garantizar su seguridad. Consulte normas de seguridad para obtener más información. Los socios comerciales tienen acceso a determinadas funciones protegidas por contraseña del servicio Amplify o Engage. Los Socios comerciales son responsables de mantener la confidencialidad de la contraseña y de asegurar que lo hagan igualmente sus empleados y/o agentes. No olvide que, lamentablemente, la transmisión de información a través de internet nunca es completamente segura. El «spoofing» o «phishing» son algunas de las estafas más comunes en Internet. Esto se produce cuando recibe un correo electrónico que parece proceder de una fuente legítima que le solicita datos personales. Tenga en cuenta que no le enviaremos ningún correo electrónico solicitándole que verifique la información de su tarjeta de crédito, bancaria o cualquier otro dato personal. Si alguna vez recibe un correo electrónico que parece ser de nuestra parte solicitándole dicha información, no responda a él y no haga clic en ninguno de los enlaces que aparecen en el correo electrónico. En su lugar, reenvíenos el correo electrónico a legal@outbrain.com, ya que investigaremos casos de posible fraude en Internet. Transferencias de datos fuera de la UE/EEE Cuando transferimos datos personales desde el Espacio Económico Europeo (EEE) garantizamos que dichas transferencias se realizan de conformidad con las leyes de protección de datos relevantes, incluidas, si son de aplicación, las cláusulas contractuales tipo de la UE o una decisión de adecuación de la Comisión Europea en virtud del artículo 25(6) de la Directiva 95/46/CE o el artículo 45 del RGPD. Expresado de otro modo, sus derechos y protecciones quedan adheridos a sus datos y nosotros hacemos uso de cláusulas contractuales aprobadas y otras medidas destinadas a garantizar que los destinatarios de sus datos personales se encarguen de protegerlos. Outbrain ha establecido las cláusulas contractuales tipo entre las entidades de Outbrain para gestionar la transferencia de datos fuera del EEE. Intercambio Además de la descripción de cómo podemos revelar sus datos personales en función de cada tipo de usuario, también podemos revelar datos personales de la siguiente manera:
Retención de datos El período de retención para cada una de las cookies que utiliza Outbrain (ya sea por su cuenta o en nuestro nombre por parte de terceros) se indica en la Tabla de cookies. Más específicamente, la cookie de Outbrain (Obuid), que se utiliza para el seguimiento de acciones de los usuarios, tales como clics, expira tres (3) meses después de que un usuario visite un sitio en particular dentro de nuestra red, si bien esta cookie se restablecerá si el usuario vuelve a visitar el mismo sitio u otro sitio de nuestra red. Del mismo modo, no retenemos ningún punto de datos individual de un usuario durante más de 13 meses. Por ejemplo, si el UUID 123 leyó un artículo el 31 de diciembre de 2018, el 1 de febrero de 2019 dicho artículo dejó de formar parte del perfil del UUID 123. Outbrain también mantiene una Política de Retención de Datos que detalla el período de retención de datos personales sobre la base de nuestro análisis sobre cuánto tiempo es necesario retener razonablemente los datos específicos para fines legales o comerciales. Cuando ya no necesitamos datos personales, los borraremos o destruiremos de forma segura. Los datos agregados, que no puedan identificar un dispositivo/navegador (o a una persona) y se utilicen con fines de información y análisis, se mantendrán durante el tiempo que sea necesario desde el punto de vista comercial. |
5. Niños y datos sensibles | + |
Niños Ninguno de nuestros servicios está dirigido intencionadamente a niños menores de 16 años. No recopilamos de manera consciente datos personales de ninguna persona menor de 16 años de edad. Si en el momento de la recopilación determinamos que un Visitante del sitio, un Usuario o un Socio comercial es menor de 16 años, no utilizaremos ni mantendremos sus datos personales. Si tenemos constancia de que sin saberlo hemos recopilado datos personales de un menor de 16 años, haremos todos los esfuerzos razonables para eliminar dicha información de nuestros registros. ¡Si eres un niño, ve a jugar al patio, no uses ni interactúes con Outbrain! Datos sensibles No recopilamos ni recibimos ninguna categoría sensible de datos personales. |
6. Visitantes del territorio europeo | + |
De conformidad con determinadas leyes relativas a la privacidad, en particular el Reglamento General de Protección de Datos europeo (RGPD), Outbrain otorga derechos adicionales específicos a las personas individuales que interactúan con Outbrain, como el derecho de acceso, de rectificación, de objeción, de reclamación, de eliminación y de bloqueo. En términos más específicos y bajo determinadas circunstancias:
Además de lo anterior, hacemos referencia a ciertos derechos de los ciudadanos del territorio europeo a través de la presente Política de Privacidad. Según el RGPD, se entienden como ciudadanos de «Territorios europeos» los del Espacio Económico Europeo (EEE), el Espacio Europeo de Libre Comercio (EFTA) y Suiza. A los efectos de la presente Política de privacidad, el término «territorio europeo» seguirá incluyendo al Reino Unido, incluso después de que el Reino Unido abandone el Espacio Económico Europeo tras el Brexit. |
7. Declaración de «no rastreo» (Do Not Track) | + |
Algunos navegadores transmiten señales de «no rastreo» (DNT, por sus siglas en inglés) a sitios web. Debido a que no existe una idea común de cómo interpretar la señal DNT, Outbrain no altera, cambia ni responde actualmente a las peticiones o señales DNT de estos navegadores. Seguiremos supervisando la actividad del sector en esta área y volveremos a evaluar nuestras prácticas de DNT según sea necesario.

Download 1. Qui nous sommes, ce que nous faisons, comment contacter Outbrain, notre DPO ou les autorités compétentes | + |
Qui nous sommes : La présente politique de confidentialité s’applique à Outbrain Inc., une société du Delaware (États-Unis) dont le siège se trouve à New York, et à ses succursales affiliées (collectivement désignées par les termes « Outbrain », ou « nous », « notre », « nos »). Nous exerçons nos activités dans différents bureaux situés dans plusieurs pays et nous travaillons en partenariat avec des éditeurs et des annonceurs du monde entier. Veuillez noter que la succursale d’Outbrain, Zemanta Inc., dispose d’une Politique de confidentialité distincte qui est consultable ici. Ce que nous faisons : Outbrain a pour mission de vous proposer des recommandations pertinentes que nous pensons susceptibles de vous intéresser. Pour remplir cette mission, nous concluons des accords avec :
Pour en savoir plus sur nos services Amplify (annonceurs), rendez-vous ici et sur nos services Engage (éditeurs), rendez-vous ici. Comment nous contacter : Nous vérifions régulièrement que nous respectons cette Politique de confidentialité. Les questions, commentaires et demandes concernant cette Politique de confidentialité sont les bienvenus. Ils doivent être adressés en premier lieu par e-mail à privacy@outbrain.com ou par courrier à Outbrain Inc., 222 Broadway 19th Floor, New York, NY 10038, Attn: Privacy Questions. Si Outbrain ne répond pas de manière satisfaisante à vos questions ou inquiétudes, vous pouvez également contacter, pour des conseils, une assistance ou des réclamations :

3. Types d’utilisateurs Outbrain (y compris les Options d’exclusion) | + |
La majeure partie de cette Politique de confidentialité est divisée en sections basées sur la manière dont vous interagissez avec Outbrain. Vous êtes un Visiteur des sites, un Utilisateur et/ou un Partenaire commercial (comme défini ci-après). Veuillez déterminer quel type d’utilisateur vous êtes. Pour chaque type d’utilisateur, nous avons expliqué quelles informations nous collectons et pourquoi, quels témoins de connexion ou « cookies » et autres technologies similaires nous utilisons, comment nous partageons ces informations, et vos droits.
|
4. Mesures de sécurité, Transferts hors de l’EEE, Partage et conservation des données | + |
Sécurité Outbrain dispose d’une équipe de sécurité dédiée. Nous mettons en œuvre des contrôles stricts sur les données que nous collectons, en les conservant dans des bases de données sécurisées et protégées par des pare-feu avec des droits d’accès contrôlés et limités afin de garantir leur sécurité. Veuillez consulter normes de sécurité pour de plus amples informations. Les Partenaires commerciaux ont un accès protégé par un mot de passe à certaines fonctionnalités du service Amplify ou Engage. Les Partenaires commerciaux sont tenus de garder ce mot de passe confidentiel et de veiller au respect de cette règle par leurs salariés et/ou leurs mandataires. N’oubliez pas que la transmission d’informations par Internet n’est malheureusement jamais complètement sécurisée. Une des fraudes classiques sur Internet est connue sous le nom d’usurpation d’identité électronique (« spoofing ») ou hameçonnage (« phishing »). Ceci se produit quand vous recevez un e-mail d’une source apparemment légitime vous demandant de lui fournir des données à caractère personnel. Sachez que nous ne vous enverrons aucun e-mail vous demandant de vérifier un numéro de carte de crédit, des informations bancaires ou autres données à caractère personnel. Si vous recevez un e-mail semblant provenir de nous vous demandant de nous fournir de telles informations, n’y répondez pas et ne cliquez sur aucun lien apparaissant dans ce message électronique. Veuillez plutôt nous transférer l’e-mail à l’adresse legal@outbrain.com, car nous mènerons des enquêtes sur d’éventuelles fraudes sur Internet. Transferts des données hors de l’UE/EEE Lorsque nous transférons des données à caractère personnel à partir de l’Espace économique européen (EEE), nous veillons à ce que ces transferts soient conformes aux lois applicables en matière de protection de données, y compris, le cas échéant, aux clauses contractuelles types de l’UE ou à une décision d’adéquation favorable de la Commission européenne en vertu de l’article 25(6) de la Directive 95/46/CE ou de l’article 45 du RGPD. En d’autres termes, vos droits et protections demeurent avec vos données et nous utilisons des clauses contractuelles approuvées et d’autres mesures conçues pour garantir que les destinataires de vos données à caractère personnel les protègent. Outbrain a mis en place les Clauses contractuelles types entre les entités d’Outbrain pour la gouvernance du transfert de données hors de l’EEE. Partage En complément de la description de la manière dont nous sommes susceptibles de divulguer vos données à caractère personnel pour chaque type d’utilisateur, nous pouvons également divulguer les données à caractère personnel comme suit :
Conservation des données La période de conservation pour chacun des cookies utilisés par Outbrain (que ce soit par nous-mêmes ou par des tiers en notre nom) est définie dans la Tables des cookies. Plus particulièrement, le cookie Outbrain (Obuid), qui permet de suivre les actions des utilisateurs telles que les clics, expire trois (3) mois après qu’un utilisateur a visité un site spécifique sur notre réseau. Cependant, ce cookie se réinitialisera si un utilisateur retourne sur le même site ou sur un site différent au sein de notre réseau. De plus, nous ne conservons aucun point de données individuel sur un Utilisateur au-delà de 13 mois. Par exemple, si l’UUID 123 lit un article le 31 décembre 2018, cet article ne fera plus partie du profil de l’UUID 123 au 1er février 2019. Outbrain tient également à jour une Politique de conservation des données qui détaille la période de conservation pour les données à caractère personnel sur la base de notre analyse de la durée raisonnable de conservation nécessaire de données particulières pour des raisons légales ou opérationnelles. Quand nous n’avons plus besoin des données à caractère personnel, nous les supprimons ou les détruisons de manière sécurisée. Les données agrégées, qui ne permettent pas d’identifier un appareil/navigateur (ou un individu) et sont utilisées à des fins de reporting et d’analyse, sont conservées aussi longtemps que commercialement nécessaire. |
5. Enfants et Données sensibles | + |
Enfants Aucun de nos services n’est destiné intentionnellement à des enfants de moins de 16 ans. Nous ne recueillons pas sciemment de données à caractère personnel auprès d’enfants âgés de moins de 16 ans. Si nous réalisons en cours de collecte qu’un Visiteur des sites, un Utilisateur ou un Partenaire commercial a moins de 16 ans, nous n’utiliserons ni ne conserverons ses données à caractère personnel. Si nous réalisons que nous avons involontairement collecté des données à caractère personnel auprès d’un enfant de moins de 16 ans, nous prendrons alors les mesures raisonnables pour supprimer ces informations de nos registres. Si vous êtes un enfant, allez jouer dans la cour, n’utilisez pas Outbrain, n’interagissez pas avec nous ! Données sensibles Nous ne collectons ni ne recevons aucune catégorie sensible de données à caractère personnel. |
6. Visiteurs de Pays européens | + |
Conformément à certaines lois sur le respect de la vie privée, en particulier le Règlement général sur la protection des données (RGPD), Outbrain octroie des droits particuliers complémentaires aux individus qui interagissent avec Outbrain, comme le droit d’accès aux données, le droit de rectification, le droit d’opposition, le droit de porter réclamation, le droit à l’effacement et le droit de blocage. Plus particulièrement et sous certaines conditions :
En complément des droits ci-dessus, nous référençons certains droits pour les citoyens des pays européens dans cette Politique de confidentialité. Conformément au RGPD, les citoyens des « Pays européens » désignent les citoyens de l’Espace économique européen (EEE), de l’Association européenne de libre-échange (AELE) et de la Suisse. Aux fins de cette Politique de confidentialité, le terme « pays européens » continuera d’inclure le Royaume-Uni, même après son départ de l’Espace économique européen suite au Brexit. |
7. Dispositions « Do Not Track » (non-traçage) | + |
Certains navigateurs transmettent des signaux refusant le traçage de données (« do not track ») aux sites Web. Outbrain ne procède actuellement à aucune altération, modification ou réponse aux demandes ou signaux de non-traçage de ces navigateurs car il n’existe pas de compréhension commune sur la manière d’interpréter les signaux de non-traçage. Nous continuerons de suivre l’activité du secteur dans ce domaine et réévaluerons nos pratiques de non-traçage si nécessaire. En attendant, vous pouvez utiliser notre gamme d’outils complémentaires pour contrôler la collecte et l’utilisation des données, et qui donnent notamment la possibilité de demander l’exclusion de la réception de recommandations personnalisées (« opt-out ») dans la section Utilisateurs. |
8. Les modifications qui pourraient être apportées à cette Politique de confidentialité | + |
Nous sommes susceptibles de modifier la présente Politique de confidentialité de manière ponctuelle. Nous afficherons clairement une notification que vous pourrez voir en tant que Visiteur des sites ou Partenaire commercial, mais nous n’avons pas de moyen d’informer les Utilisateurs d’une mise à jour par le biais d’une notification. Vous devez vérifier ici régulièrement si la Politique de confidentialité a été mise à jour, car nous indiquerons toujours la date de la dernière modification de la Politique de confidentialité en haut de la page afin que vous puissiez savoir quand elle a été révisée pour la dernière fois. |

2. Alleanze e Adesioni | + |
|
3. Tipi di utente Outbrain (incluse le opzioni di opt-out) | + |
Gran parte della presente politica sulla privacy è suddivisa in sezioni in base alle modalità in cui è possibile interagire con Outbrain. Tu sei o un visitatore del sito oppure un utente e/o un partner commerciale (come definito di seguito). Ti preghiamo di stabilire quale tipo di utente sei, in quanto, per ogni tipo di utente descriviamo i tuoi diritti, quali informazioni raccogliamo e perché, quali cookie e altre tecnologie analoghe utilizziamo e come condividiamo tali informazioni.
|
4. Misure di sicurezza, trasferimenti al di fuori dello SEE, condivisione e conservazione dei dati | + |
Sicurezza Outbrain dispone di un team dedicato per la sicurezza. Manteniamo rigorosi controlli sui dati personali che raccogliamo, conservandoli in database protetti e soggetti a firewall con diritti di accesso rigorosamente limitati e controllati, per garantirne la sicurezza. Consulta le nostrenorme sulla sicurezza per maggiori informazioni. I partner commerciali hanno accesso a determinate funzionalità protette da password del servizio Amplify o Engage. I partner commerciali hanno la responsabilità di mantenere riservata questa password e di garantire lo stesso per loro dipendenti e/o ai loro agenti. Ricorda che, sfortunatamente, la trasmissione di informazioni tramite Internet non è mai completamente sicura. Una truffa comune su Internet è nota come "spoofing" o "phishing" e si verifica quando ricevi un'email proveniente da quella che sembra essere una fonte legittima che richiede i tuoi dati personali. Ti preghiamo di osservare che non ti invieremo alcuna e-mail che ti chieda di verificare la carta di credito, le coordinate bancarie o eventuali altri dati personali. Qualora dovessi ricevere un'e-mail che sembra provenire da noi e ti chiede tali informazioni ti preghiamo di non rispondere e non fare clic su nessun link presente nell'e-mail. Al contrario, inoltraci l'e-mail all'indirizzo legal@outbrain.com, in quanto esamineremo possibili casi di frode su Internet. Trasferimento dei dati al di fuori dell'UE/dello SEE Quando trasferiamo dati personali dallo Spazio Economico Europeo (SEE), ci assicureremo che tali trasferimenti siano conformi alle leggi sulla protezione dei dati, incluse, se applicabile, le clausole contrattuali standard dell'UE o una decisione di adeguatezza positiva della Commissione Europea ai sensi dell'articolo 25(6) della Direttiva 95/46/CE o dell'articolo 45 del GDPR. In altre parole, i tuoi diritti e le tue protezioni rimangono con i tuoi dati e utilizziamo clausole contrattuali approvate e altre misure studiate per garantire che i destinatari dei tuoi dati personali li proteggano. Outbrain ha posto in vigore le Clausole contrattuali standard tra le entità di Outbrain per disciplinare il trasferimento dei dati al di fuori dello SEE. Condivisione Oltre alla descrizione di come possiamo divulgare i tuoi dati personali per ciascun tipo di utente, possiamo altresì divulgare dati personali nei seguenti casi:
DConservazione dei dati Il periodo di conservazione per ciascuno dei cookie utilizzati da Outbrain (sia per i nostri sia per quelli usati da terzi per nostro conto) è indicato nella Tabella dei cookie. Più specificamente, il cookie Outbrain (Obuid), che viene utilizzato per monitorare le azioni degli utenti come i clic, scade tre (3) mesi dopo che un utente ha visitato un particolare sito all'interno della nostra rete, tuttavia, questo cookie si resetta se un utente ritorna allo stesso sito o a un sito diverso all'interno della nostra rete. Inoltre, non conserviamo alcun data point individuale su un utente per più di 13 mesi. Ad esempio, se l'UUID 123 legge un articolo il 31 dicembre 2018, il 1° febbraio 2019 quell'articolo non farà più parte del profilo dell'UUID 123. Outbrain mantiene altresì una politica di conservazione dei dati che dettaglia il periodo di conservazione dei dati personali in base alla nostra analisi della durata ragionevolmente necessaria di tale conservazione, rispetto a dati specifici, tenuto conto delle finalità legali o commerciali. Nel momento in cui non necessitiamo più dei dati personali, li cancelliamo o li distruggiamo in maniera sicura. I dati aggregati, che non consentono di identificare un dispositivo/browser (o una singola persona) e sono utilizzati per finalità di reporting e analisi vengono conservati per tutto il tempo necessario dal punto di vista commerciale. |
5. Bambini e dati sensibili | + |
Minori Nessuno dei nostri servizi si rivolge intenzionalmente a minori di 16 anni. Non raccogliamo consapevolmente dati personali da minori di 16 anni. Se al momento della raccolta dovessimo stabilire che un Visitatore del sito, un Utente o un Partner commerciale ha meno di 16 anni, non useremo né conserveremo i suoi dati personali. Qualora dovessimo venire a conoscenza del fatto che abbiamo raccolto inconsapevolmente dati personali da un minore di età inferiore ai 16 anni, attueremo ogni ragionevole sforzo per eliminare tali informazioni dai nostri archivi. Se sei un bambino, vai a giocare in giardino, non usare o interagire con Outbrain! Dati sensibili Non raccogliamo o riceviamo categorie di dati personali sensibili. |
6. Visitatori dei territori europei | + |
In conformità con le leggi in materia di tutela della vita privata (privacy), in particolare con il regolamento generale europeo sulla protezione dei dati (GDPR), Outbrain riconosce specifici diritti aggiuntivi alle persone che interagiscono con Outbrain quali il diritto di accesso, di rettifica, di opposizione, di reclamo, di cancellazione e di blocco. Più specificamente e in determinate circostanze:
In aggiunta a quanto sopra, facciamo riferimento a determinati diritti per i cittadini dei Territori europei nel corso della presente politica sulla privacy. Ai sensi del GDPR, con il termine cittadini dei "Territori europei" si intendono i cittadini dello Spazio economico europeo (SEE), dell’Associazione europea di libero scambio (EFTA) e della Svizzera. Ai fini della presente Informativa sulla privacy, il termine "Territori europei" continuerà a includere il Regno Unito, anche dopo che il Regno Unito avrà lasciato lo Spazio economico europeo in seguito alla Brexit. |
7. Comunicazione antitracciamento (“Do Not Track”) | + |
Alcuni browser trasmettono segnali antitracciamento, denominati "Do Not Track" (DNT), ai siti web. Poiché non esiste una comprensione comune su come interpretare il segnale DNT, al momento Outbrain non altera, modifica o risponde alle richieste o ai segnali DNT di tali browser. Continueremo a monitorare l'attività del settore in questo contesto e rivaluteremo le nostre pratiche DNT se necessario. Nel frattempo, puoi utilizzare la gamma di altri strumenti che mettiamo a disposizione per controllare la raccolta e l'utilizzo dei dati, ivi inclusa la capacità di rinunciare a ricevere consigli personalizzati consultando la sezione Utenti. |
8. Come può variare la presente politica sulla privacy | + |
Occasionalmente potremmo modificare la presente politica sulla privacy. Inseriremo un avviso in evidenza che ti sarà visibile in qualità di Visitatore del sito o Partner commerciale, tuttavia non disponiamo di mezzi per avvertire gli Utenti in merito a un aggiornamento a titolo di preavviso. Si consiglia di controllare periodicamente per vedere se la Politica sulla privacy è stata aggiornata, in quanto pubblicheremo sempre la data dell'ultima modifica della politica sulla privacy nella parte in alto della pagina affinché tu possa sapere quando è stata rivista l'ultima volta. |

|
3. アウトブレインのユーザータイプ(オプトアウトを含む) | + |
このプライバシー・ポリシーは、お客様がアウトブレインに提供する情報の提供方法に基づいてセクションに分けられています。お客様は、サイト訪問者、ユーザー又はビジネスパートナー(以下に定義します)のいずれに該当するか、ご確認ください。ユーザータイプごとに、当社が収集する情報とその理由、当社が使用するクッキーやその他の類似技術、当社がそのような情報をどのように共有するか、及びお客様の権利について説明しています。
|
4. セキュリティ、EEA外への移転、共有及びデータ保持 | + |
セキュリティ アウトブレインには専門のセキュリティチームがあります。当社が収集した個人データを厳重に管理し、ファイアウォールで保護されたデータベースに保管し、アクセス権を厳密に制限して管理し、安全性を確保しています。詳細については、当社の セキュリティ基準 をご覧ください。 ビジネスパートナーは、Amplify又はEngageサービスの特定のパスワードで保護された機能に、アクセスすることができます。ビジネスパートナーは、このパスワードの機密性を保持し、従業員やその代理人が同様に機密性を保持するよう確保する責任があります。残念ながら、インターネットを介した情報伝達は完全に安全ではないことに留意する必要があります。よくあるインターネット詐欺に「なりすまし」や「フィッシング」があります。これは、合法的にみえる情報源から、個人情報を要求するメールを受信した場合に発生します。当社は、クレジットカードや銀行情報、その他の個人情報の確認を要求するメールを送信することはありませんので、ご注意ください。当社からと思われる電子メールで、こうした個人情報を要求するものを受け取った場合は、返信をせず、電子メール内のリンクをクリックしないようにしてください。インターネット詐欺の可能性がある場合は、当社で調査を行いますので、 legal@outbrain.com, までメールをご転送ください。 EU / EEA外へのデータ転送 当社が欧州経済領域(EEA)から個人データを転送する場合、当社は、該当する場合、EU標準契約条項、欧州委員会の十分性認定(指令95/46/EC第25条6項又はGDPR第45条によるもの)を含む、関連するデータ保護法を遵守していることを確認します。言い換えれば、お客様の権利と保護はお客様のデータとともにあり、当社は、お客様の個人データの受信者がデータを確実に保護するように設計され、承認された契約条項その他の手段を使用しています。アウトブレインは、EEA域外へのデータ転送を管理するために、アウトブレインの事業体間の標準契約条項を定めています。 共有 当社は、ユーザーの種類ごとに規定されるお客様の個人情報の開示方法に加えて、以下のとおり個人情報を開示することがあります。
データの保持 アウトブレインが使用するクッキー(当社独自のものであるか、サードパーティによる代行であるかを問いません)の保存期間は、 クッキーテーブル. に記載されています。具体的には、クリック等のユーザーの行動を追跡するために使用される当社のクッキー(Obuid)は、ユーザーが当社ネットワーク内の特定のサイトを訪問してから3ヶ月後に、有効期限が到来しますが、ユーザーが同じサイトに戻ったり、当社ネットワーク内の別のサイトに戻ったりした場合、このクッキーはリセットされます。また、当社はユーザーの個々のデータポイントを13ヶ月以上保持することはありません。例えば、UUID 123が2018年12月31日に記事を読んだ場合、2019年2月1日には、その記事はUUID 123のプロファイルの一部ではなくなります。 当社はまた、特定のデータが法的に又は事業目的のために合理的に必要とされる期間を分析した上で、個人データの保持期間を詳細に定めたデータ保持ポリシーを維持しています。個人データを必要としなくなった場合は、安全に削除又は破棄します。集計データのうち、デバイスやブラウザ(又は個人)を特定できず、レポートや分析の目的で使用されるものは、商業的に必要な限り維持されます。 |
5. 未成年者及び機微なデータ | + |
未成年者 当社のサービスは、16歳未満の未成年者を意図的に対象としたものではありません。当社は、16歳未満の方から意図して個人データを収集することはありません。サイト訪問者、ユーザー、又はビジネスパートナーが16歳未満であることが個人データの収集時に判明した場合、当社は、その人の個人データを使用したり、維持したりすることはありません。当社が意図せずに16歳未満の方から個人データを収集していることに気づいた場合、当社は、そのような情報を記録から削除するための合理的な努力を行います。もしあなたが子供である場合、アウトブレインを使用するよりも庭で遊びましょう! 機微なデータ 当社は、個人データのうち、機微なカテゴリーのものを収集したり、受け取ったりすることはありません。 |
6. 欧州地域の訪問者 | + |
特定の個人情報保護法、特にEU一般データ保護規則(GDPR)に基づき、当社は、当社にアクセスする個人に対して、アクセス、訂正、異議申立て、苦情、削除、ブロックといった特定の追加的権利を提供しています。より具体的には、以下が該当します。
上記に加えて、プライバシー・ポリシーでは、欧州地域の住民のための特定の権利が参照されます。GDPRに従い、「欧州地域」とは、欧州経済領域(EEA)、欧州自由貿易地域(EFTA)、スイスを意味します。プライバシー・ポリシーにおいて、「欧州地域」という用語には、英国がEUから離脱した後も、英国を含むものとします。 上記の権利の行使に関するご質問は、Privacy@outbrain.comまでメールでお問い合わせください。 |
7. 「Do Not Track」の開示 | + |
一部のブラウザは、ウェブサイトにDo Not Track(DNT)信号を送信します。DNT信号をどのように解釈するかについての共通の理解は未だ確立していないため、当社は現在、これらのブラウザからのDNT要求や信号に対応していません。当社は、今後もこの分野における業界の活動を注視し、必要に応じて当社のDNTに関する運用を見直していきます。その間、お客様は、ユーザーセクションのパーソナルレコメンデーションの受信をオプトアウトする機能を含む、データの収集と使用を制御するために当社が提供する様々なツールを使用することができます。 |
8. プライバシー・ポリシーの更新 | + |
当社は、このプライバシー・ポリシーを随時変更することができます。当社は、サイト訪問者やビジネスパートナーの目に触れるよう、プライバシー・ポリシーを目立つ場所に掲載しますが、当社は、お客様に対し個別に更新を通知する方法を有していません。プライバシー・ポリシーが更新されたかどうかは、定期的にこちらをチェックして確認してください。 |

Wie we zijn: Dit privacybeleid is van toepassing op Outbrain Inc., een onderneming uit Delaware, VS, met hoofdkantoor in New York; en haar gelieerde dochterondernemingen (gezamenlijk, "Outbrain," of "wij", "ons", "onze"). We zijn actief in verschillende kantoren in de hele wereld en we werken samen met uitgevers en marketeers over de hele wereld. Dochteronderneming Zemanta Inc van Outbrain heeft een apart Privacybeleid, dat hier kan worden gevonden. Wat we doen: De missie van Outbrain is om u interessante aanbevelingen te doen op basis van wat volgens ons uw interesses zijn. Om onze missie te bereiken sluiten we overeenkomsten met:
Zie hier voor meer informatie over onze Amplify-diensten (voor adverteerders) en hier voor onze Engage-diensten (voor uitgevers). Hoe u contact met ons kunt opnemen: Wij controleren regelmatig onze naleving van dit Privacybeleid. Vragen, opmerkingen en verzoeken met betrekking tot dit Privacybeleid zijn welkom en dienen in eerste instantie te worden gericht aan privacy@outbrain.com of per post aan Outbrain Inc., 222 Broadway 19th Floor, New York, NY 10038, Attn: Privacy Questions.

3. Types Outbrain-gebruikers (inclusief opt-outopties) | + |
Een groot deel van dit Privacybeleid is onderverdeeld in secties op basis van de manier waarop u met Outbrain kunt communiceren. U bent een Bezoeker van de site, een Gebruiker en/of een Business Partner (zoals hieronder gedefinieerd). Bepaal welk type gebruiker u bent. Voor elk type gebruiker hebben we uitgelegd welke informatie we verzamelen en waarom, welke cookies en andere soortgelijke technologieën we gebruiken, hoe we deze informatie delen en wat uw rechten zijn.
|
4. Beveiligingsmaatregelen, doorgifte buiten de EER, delen en bewaren van gegevens | + |
Beveiliging Outbrain heeft een gespecialiseerd beveiligingsteam. We zorgen voor een strikte controle op de persoonsgegevens die we verzamelen en bewaren deze in met firewalls afgeschermde en beveiligde databases met strikt beperkte en gecontroleerde toegangsrechten, om ervoor te zorgen dat ze veilig zijn. Zie onze veiligheidsstandaarden voor meer informatie. Business Partners hebben toegang tot bepaalde met een wachtwoord beveiligde functies van de Amplify- of Engage-dienst. Business Partners zijn verantwoordelijk voor het geheimhouden van dit wachtwoord en moeten ervoor zorgen dat hun medewerkers en/of hun agenten hetzelfde doen. Vergeet niet dat de overdracht van informatie via het internet helaas nooit volledig veilig is. Een veel voorkomende vorm van internetoplichting staat bekend als "spoofing" of "phishing". Daarbij ontvangt u een e-mail van wat een legitieme bron lijkt te zijn, waarin u om persoonsgegevens wordt gevraagd. Wij sturen u geen e-mails waarin we u vragen uw creditcard, bankgegevens of andere persoonsgegevens te verifiëren. Als u ooit een e-mail ontvangt die van ons lijkt te zijn en waarin u om dergelijke informatie wordt gevraagd, reageer er dan niet op en klik niet op de links in de e-mail. In plaats daarvan kunt u de e-mail naar ons doorsturen via legal@outbrain.com, omdat wij gevallen van mogelijke internetfraude onderzoeken. Gegevensoverdracht buiten de EU/EER Wanneer wij persoonsgegevens uit de Europese Economische Ruimte (EER) overdragen, zorgen wij ervoor dat deze overdrachten in overeenstemming zijn met de relevante wetgeving inzake gegevensbescherming, met inbegrip van, indien van toepassing, standaardcontractbepalingen van de EU of een positieve beschikking van de Europese Commissie op grond van artikel 25, lid 6, van Richtlijn 95/46/EG of artikel 45 van de AVG. Met andere woorden, uw rechten en bescherming blijven gelden voor uw gegevens en wij gebruiken goedgekeurde contractuele clausules en andere maatregelen om ervoor te zorgen dat de ontvangers van uw persoonsgegevens deze beschermen. Outbrain hanteert de standaardcontractbepalingen tussen Outbrain-entiteiten voor de overdracht van gegevens buiten de EER. Delen Naast de beschrijving van de manier waarop wij uw persoonsgegevens voor elk type gebruiker kunnen bekendmaken, kunnen wij ook op de volgende manieren persoonsgegevens bekendmaken:
Bewaren van gegevens De bewaartermijn voor elk van de door Outbrain gebruikte cookies (zowel onze eigen cookies als door derden namens ons gebruikte cookies) wordt vermeld in de Cookietabel. Meer specifiek: de Outbrain-cookie (Obuid), die wordt gebruikt voor het tracken van acties van de gebruiker zoals kliks, vervalt drie(3) maanden nadat een gebruiker een bepaalde site binnen ons netwerkwerk heeft bezocht; deze cookie wordt echter gereset als een gebruiker terugkeert naar dezelfde site of een andere site binnen ons netwerk. Bovendien bewaren wij geen individuele gegevenspunten van een Gebruiker langer dan 13 maanden. Als UUID 123 bijvoorbeeld op 31 december 2018 een artikel heeft gelezen, maakt dat artikel op 1 februari 2019 geen deel meer uit van het profiel van UUID 123 Outbrain hanteert ook een beleid voor het bewaren van gegevens, waarbij de bewaartermijn voor persoonsgegevens wordt bepaald op basis van onze analyse van hoe lang de specifieke gegevens redelijkerwijs nodig zijn voor wettelijke of zakelijke doeleinden. Wanneer we persoonsgegevens niet meer nodig hebben, verwijderen of vernietigen we deze op een veilige manier. Geaggregeerde gegevens, die niet een apparaat/browser (of individu) kunnen identificeren en die worden gebruikt voor rapportage- en analysedoeleinden, worden zo lang als commercieel noodzakelijk is bewaard. |
5. Kinderen en gevoelige gegevens | + |
Kinderen Geen van onze diensten is opzettelijk gericht op kinderen onder de 16 jaar. We verzamelen niet bewust persoonsgegevens van personen onder de 16 jaar. Indien wij bij het verzamelen van de gegevens vaststellen dat een Bezoeker van de site, een Gebruiker of een Business Partner jonger is dan 16 jaar, zullen wij zijn of haar persoonsgegevens niet gebruiken of bewaren. Als we er achter komen dat we onbewust persoonsgegevens van een kind onder de 16 jaar hebben verzameld, zullen we redelijke inspanningen leveren om dergelijke informatie uit onze gegevens te verwijderen. Als je een kind bent, ga dan lekker buiten spelen en gebruik Outbrain niet! Gevoelige gegevens Wij verzamelen of ontvangen geen gevoelige persoonsgegevens. |
6. Bezoekers uit Europese gebieden | + |
In overeenstemming met bepaalde privacywetten, in het bijzonder de Europese Algemene Verordening inzake Gegevensbescherming (AVG), voorziet Outbrain in specifieke aanvullende rechten voor personen die met Outbrain in contact komen, zoals het recht op toegang, rectificatie en bezwaar, het recht om een klacht in te dienen, het recht om gegevens te laten wissen en het recht op blokkering.

Omdat er geen algemene overeenkomst is over hoe het DNT-signaal moet worden geïnterpreteerd, verandert of wijzigt Outbrain op dit moment niets aan DNT-verzoeken of -signalen van deze browsers en reageert het ook niet op deze verzoeken of signalen. Wij zullen de activiteiten van de sector op dit gebied blijven volgen en onze DNT-praktijken waar nodig opnieuw beoordelen. Intussen kunt u gebruik maken van het scala aan andere tools die wij aanbieden om het verzamelen en gebruiken van gegevens te beheren, inclusief de mogelijkheid om af te zien van het ontvangen van gepersonaliseerde aanbevelingen in de sectie Gebruikers. |

Seguridad Outbrain tiene un equipo de seguridad específico. Mantenemos un estricto control de los datos personales que recopilamos y los retenemos en bases de datos seguras y protegidas por cortafuegos con derechos de acceso estrictamente limitados y controlados, para garantizar su seguridad. Consulte nuestras normas de seguridad para obtener más información. Los socios comerciales tienen acceso a determinadas funciones protegidas por contraseña del servicio Amplify o Engage. Los Socios comerciales son responsables de mantener la confidencialidad de la contraseña y de asegurar que lo hagan igualmente sus empleados y/o agentes. No olvide que, lamentablemente, la transmisión de información a través de internet nunca es completamente segura. El «spoofing» o «phishing» son algunas de las estafas más comunes en Internet. Esto se produce cuando recibe un correo electrónico que parece proceder de una fuente legítima que le solicita datos personales. Tenga en cuenta que no le enviaremos ningún correo electrónico solicitándole que verifique la información de su tarjeta de crédito, bancaria o cualquier otro dato personal. Si alguna vez recibe un correo electrónico que parece ser de nuestra parte solicitándole dicha información, no responda a él y no haga clic en ninguno de los enlaces que aparecen en el correo electrónico. En su lugar, reenvíenos el correo electrónico a legal@outbrain.com, ya que investigaremos casos de posible fraude en Internet. Transferencias de datos fuera de la UE/EEE Cuando transferimos datos personales desde el Espacio Económico Europeo (EEE) garantizamos que dichas transferencias se realizan de conformidad con las leyes de protección de datos relevantes, incluidas, si son de aplicación, las cláusulas contractuales tipo de la UE o una decisión de adecuación de la Comisión Europea en virtud del artículo 25(6) de la Directiva 95/46/CE o el artículo 45 del RGPD. Expresado de otro modo, sus derechos y protecciones quedan adheridos a sus datos y nosotros hacemos uso de cláusulas contractuales aprobadas y otras medidas destinadas a garantizar que los destinatarios de sus datos personales se encarguen de protegerlos. Outbrain ha establecido las cláusulas contractuales tipo entre las entidades de Outbrain para gestionar la transferencia de datos fuera del EEE. Intercambio Además de la descripción de cómo podemos revelar sus datos personales en función de cada tipo de usuario, también podemos revelar datos personales de la siguiente manera:
Retención de datos El período de retención para cada una de las cookies que utiliza Outbrain (ya sea por su cuenta o en nuestro nombre por parte de terceros) se indica en la Tabla de cookies. Más específicamente, la cookie de Outbrain (Obuid), que se utiliza para el seguimiento de acciones de los usuarios, tales como clics, expira tres (3) meses después de que un usuario visite un sitio en particular dentro de nuestra red, si bien esta cookie se restablecerá si el usuario vuelve a visitar el mismo sitio u otro sitio de nuestra red. Del mismo modo, no retenemos ningún punto de datos individual de un usuario durante más de 13 meses. Por ejemplo, si el UUID 123 leyó un artículo el 31 de diciembre de 2018, el 1 de febrero de 2019 dicho artículo dejó de formar parte del perfil del UUID 123. Outbrain también mantiene una Política de Retención de Datos que detalla el período de retención de datos personales sobre la base de nuestro análisis sobre cuánto tiempo es necesario retener razonablemente los datos específicos para fines legales o comerciales. Cuando ya no necesitamos datos personales, los borraremos o destruiremos de forma segura. Los datos agregados, que no puedan identificar un dispositivo/navegador (o a una persona) y se utilicen con fines de información y análisis, se mantendrán durante el tiempo que sea necesario desde el punto de vista comercial. |

Amplify Terms
Version 10.2
Effective October 24th 2024
DownloadTable of Contents
Amplify Terms and Conditions
These Amplify Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) are entered into by Outbrain UK Limited (“Outbrain”) and the entity executing an Insertion Order or using the Outbrain dashboard (“Customer”). These Terms govern Customer’s use of the Outbrain (Service (as defined below), and together with an Insertion Order (or the information entered through the Outbrain dashboard (“Dashboard”) comprise the "Agreement" between Outbrain and Customer. If there is any inconsistency between: (i) the terms of a signed Insertion Order or those entered through the Dashboard (either “Campaign Details”) and (ii) these Terms, the Campaign Details as applicable, shall prevail.
1. Services
1.1 Outbrain partners with a network of online properties (the “Network”) to display a user interface containing links that navigate to websites. Outbrain uses its proprietary algorithms serving methodology, and advanced buying tools to deliver ads on behalf of clients to relevant audiences throughout the Network (the “Service”).
1.2 Outbrain shall display links to graphical, textual, video and/or auditory content selected by Customer on the Network. Such links, together with the headlines, images, and/or video that may accompany the links and the destination page reached from any such link are the “Content”. Outbrain shall continue to distribute the Content on the Network until the earlier of: (i) the end date of Customer’s campaign or (ii) reaching of Customer’s budget; or (iii) the disabling of a campaign (provided that Outbrain reserves the right to charge for additional Actions (as defined in Section 5.1) as the Content is removed from circulation – see FAQs for more details).
1.3 Outbrain does not guarantee: (i) the placement, positioning or the timing of delivery of any Content; (ii) clicks or impressions (including clicks from a particular audience segment); or (iii) conversions. If Fees (as defined in Section 5) do not reach Customer’s budget, Customer's sole remedies shall be to: (i) subject to Section 2 below, extend the end date of the applicable campaign; (ii) replace or add to the existing Content with other Content; or (iii) to pay only for accrued Fees. In no event shall Outbrain be liable for failure to deliver clicks, impressions and/or views to Content.
1.4 Outbrain will make reports available to Customer regarding the campaign(s). The final monthly reports (which may differ from the daily reports) will provide the conclusive basis for Outbrain's calculation of Fees owed by Customer. Customer may submit its own Outbrain-compatible tracker. If there is a ten percent (10%) discrepancy or more between Customer's numbers and Outbrain's numbers then the parties agree to work in good faith to identify the correct amount to be paid to Outbrain. If the discrepancy is less than ten percent (10%), Outbrain's numbers shall be conclusive.
2. Content
2.1 Customer is solely responsible for the Content. Customer has the right to and authorises Outbrain to place the Content on the Network. Customer is authorised to use and/or has approved all images and words of the Content’s headline (whether created or generated by Customer or on Customer’s behalf). Content headlines and images must accurately reflect the tone and subject matter of the Content. To the extent Outbrain (and/or integrated tools) provide recommendations as to the Content, headlines and/or campaign, Customer remains solely responsible.
2.2 Customer shall not, directly or indirectly, provide Content that: (i) is obscene, defamatory, libelous, slanderous, pornographic, violent, profane, indecent or unlawful; (ii) is factually inaccurate, misleading or deceptive; and/or (iii) facilitates or promotes any type of illegal activity, including without limitation pyramid schemes, gambling, the sale or use of illicit drugs, or discrimination or harassment of any individual or group. Further, Content may not (a) redirect to a destination other than as originally submitted to the Service, and/or (b) be substantively different from the Content originally submitted to Outbrain.
2.3 Content must comply with Outbrain's Advertising Guidelines, as may be updated from time to time by Outbrain. Outbrain may at any time (at its sole discretion) reject or remove Content.
2.4 Customer acknowledges and agrees that certain Content may change during the course of a campaign (e.g., due to revisions by the Content's author, comments from readers, or otherwise). Customer's recourse in the event of such change shall be to direct Outbrain to remove such Content from its then-current campaign and/or select other Content. Customer further acknowledges that, if there is an objection to the Content (whether from the Content author or publisher, or otherwise), Outbrain will act in accordance with Section 2 of its Terms of Use and may cease (at its sole discretion) including the Content in the Service or require Customer to make changes to the Content.
2.5 Both parties shall implement anti-malware scanning processes of the Content. Upon notice, both parties shall take immediate action to remove any suspicious Content from the Network.
3. Term and Cancellation
The Campaign Details will set forth the start and end date of a particular campaign. However, the Agreement, or an individual campaign may be suspended or terminated: (i) by Customer for any reason upon two (2) business days' written notice to Outbrain or within twelve (12) hours through the Dashboard; or (ii) by Outbrain for any reason upon two (2) days’ written notice to Customer. During the notice period, all previously contracted campaigns shall continue to run pursuant to the Campaign Details and Customer shall be responsible for paying Outbrain for all Fees accrued up to and including the last day of such notice period. Outbrain also reserves the right at its sole discretion to immediately suspend or terminate all or part of Customer's use of the Service if Outbrain reasonably believes Customer is in breach of the terms of this Agreement.
4. Campaign Details
If Customer utilizes Outbrain’s Dashboard, Customer will have access to certain online reports and control over its campaign(s). To the extent Customer registers and has access to the Dashboard, Outbrain may collect certain personal data of Customer. Outbrain collects and processes this personal data in order to respond to Customer questions or requests, provide Customer’s with access to certain services, verify Customer’s identity and communicate with Customers about the use of the Service. Customer is solely responsible for all changes requested or approved (either directly or via Outbrain’s API) including those made through the Dashboard using its login. Customer is solely responsible for protecting its login and password to the Dashboard. Customer can manage campaigns using the Dashboard by modifying the Campaign Details and/or Customer may have the option of working with an Outbrain account manager, as determined by Outbrain.
5. Fees and Payment Terms
5.1 Ads displayed on the Network are paid for via one of following payment methods: (i) cost-per-click (“CPC”); (ii) cost-per thousand impressions (“CPM”); (iii) cost-per-completed view (“CPCv”) where completed view means fifty percent (50%) of the video Ad/Content is in view continuously from beginning to the end of video; (iv) cost-per thousand Viewable Impressions (“vCPM”); and/or (v) other desired actions agreed between the parties from time to time (each, an “Action”). A viewable impression is counted as viewable if fifty percent (50%) of the video ad is in view continuously for 2 seconds. Outbrain fees will be based on the number of Actions, plus the cost of the Service (the “Fees”), which will not exceed Customer’s pre-designated maximum budget. Customer shall pay the Fees as measured by Outbrain's tracking system up to the maximum budget designated in the Campaign Details. Outbrain may charge any applicable national, state, or local sales or use taxes, value added taxes or country-specific fees that Outbrain is legally obligated to charge. If CPC is being used for campaign measurement, such CPC may not be less than Outbrain’s then-in-effect minimum CPC (which may vary by market). If Customer is utilizing Outbrain’s automatic bidding feature, Customer grants Outbrain the right to set and modify Customer’s CPC at Outbrain’s discretion to aid in achieving Customer’s targets for its campaign. Customer shall be solely responsible for any additional fees incurred for utilizing third party services on its campaign(s). For the avoidance of doubt, Outbrain will not cover, credit or reimburse any third party fees, including, but not limited to, use of any third-party tracker(s) on Customer’s campaign(s). Customer may increase or decrease its budget through the Dashboard or through a signed amendment to an Insertion Order.
5.2 If Customer has signed an Insertion Order, Fees will generally be invoiced by Outbrain to Customer by the end of the following calendar month, unless otherwise set forth in an Insertion Order. Customer shall pay all invoices within thirty (30) days from receipt. Any portion of a charge not disputed (pursuant to Section 5.3) in good faith must be paid in full. If Customer has provided the Campaign Details through the Dashboard or has signed an Insertion Order and has used a credit card for billing purposes, Outbrain shall charge the Outbrain fees (including processing fees) to Customer’s credit card at such intervals as Outbrain determines in its sole discretion. The decision as to whether to allow Customer to choose between invoice and/or credit card and/or require a prepayment (prior to the start of a campaign) rests solely with Outbrain. Outbrain shall review all billing inquiries, including refund requests on a case-by-case basis and reserves the right to approve or deny any request in its sole discretion.
5.3 If Customer disputes any amount on an invoice, Customer must provide written notice to Outbrain (email is sufficient) within thirty (30) days of receipt of any invoice or the right to dispute shall be deemed waived. Customer’s email must include the amount disputed and provide adequate information to support any such claim. Customer may not withhold payment for any undisputed amounts, and any portion of a charge not disputed in good faith must be paid in full.
5.4 If payment is not made when due and not properly disputed pursuant to Section 5.3, Outbrain may charge interest at the rate of two percent (2%) per annum above the prevailing base rate of Barclays Bank PLC from the due date until the date of actual payment, whether before or after judgment. Outbrain also reserves the right to suspend or terminate any or all of Customer's use of the Service until Customer has paid all amounts due. Outbrain reserves the right to charge Customer for all costs of collection, including collection agency and reasonable legal fees and court costs. Customer authorises Outbrain to investigate Customer's credit record. If applicable, Customer agrees to provide such further financial information and documentation as may be required from time to time by Outbrain as a condition for the continued extension of credit. Customer acknowledges and agrees that any account, credit card and related billing and payment information which Customer provides to Outbrain may be shared by Outbrain with companies who work on Outbrain's behalf solely for the purpose of performing credit checks, effecting payment to Outbrain, collecting debts owed to Outbrain and/or servicing Customer's account. Outbrain may, in its sole discretion, extend, revise or revoke credit at any time. In addition, Outbrain reserves the right to require immediate payment of any outstanding balance that exceeds Customer’s credit limit and / or past the payment terms defined in this Agreement.
6. Additional Features and Terms
6.1 Outbrain may also make additional Service features available to Customer from time to time and use of such features may be subject to Customer’s agreement to certain additional terms and conditions (“Additional Terms”) (e.g., via an online click-through agreement or via the Dashboard). Such features will be provided at Outbrain’s discretion to Customer and may include fees in addition to those described in Section 5.1. Customer’s acceptance of the Additional Terms will constitute a binding and enforceable agreement as between Outbrain and Customer. In the event of any inconsistency between these Terms, the Additional Terms, and the Campaign Details, the order of precedence is: (i) Additional Terms, (ii) Campaign Details, and (iii) these Terms. Customers who choose to utilize LiveRamp services (via the Outbrain Dashboard or otherwise) for purposes of their Outbrain campaign(s) are subject to LiveRamp Terms.
6.2 Subject to Customer’s compliance with Section 8 below, Customer may place on Customer’s website, application pages or landing pages: (i) Outbrain pixel(s) (the “Outbrain Pixel”) on Customer’s website or application pages and/or (ii) third party pixels or tags (the “Third Party Pixels”) for the purpose of providing analytics related to Customer’s campaign, enhanced targeting functionality and/or creating segments (the Outbrain Pixel and Third Party Pixels together are the “Pixels”). Customer represents and warrants that: (a) its use of the Pixels are in accordance with Data Protection Laws; and (b) it has provided appropriate notice to users regarding use of the Pixels, including an explanation: (x) that third parties, including Outbrain, may use cookies or similar technologies to collect or receive information from Customer’s website(s), and may use that information to provide measurement services and target ads; and (y) as to how users opt-out of the collection of information for targeting purposes; and (z) it will not use the Pixels on websites or application pages that target minors and/or contain sensitive categories of data (e.g. physical or mental health conditions). Customer shall not use the Pixels unless and until it has complied with the provisions of this Section 6.2. Further, if an end-user has opted out of behavioral advertising via Customer’s site(s) (or a mechanism such as settings within an advertiser application), Customer shall be fully responsible for not loading the Outbrain Pixel. Outbrain may update, change, or substitute the Outbrain Pixel functionality at any time in its reasonable discretion provided that it does not disrupt the functioning of Customer’s landing page and serves the same purpose.
6.3 If Customer utilizes third party segments for enhanced targeting of its campaign(s) (“3rd Party Targeting”), Customer shall pay for its use of 3rd Party Targeting (“3rd Party Data Costs”) including any applicable taxes. Customer’s invoice for each campaign shall include both the Fees, and the 3rd Party Data Costs (if applicable). Customer agrees that 3rd Party Data costs will be based on Outbrain’s reporting metrics. If Customer utilizes 3rd Party Targeting Customer shall: (x) disclose this to users via an appropriate notice and/or in its privacy policy (as applicable); and (y) represent and warrant that its use of 3rd Party Targeting shall, at all times, be compliant with Data Protection Laws and satisfy the requirements for an appropriate legal basis for processing. Customer shall not, at any time, use 3rd Party Targeting: (i) for discriminatory purposes; (ii) to target minors under the age of sixteen(16); (iii) based on Special Categories of Personal Data; (iv) based on Personal Data relating to alleged or confirmed criminal convictions or offenses; and/or (v) otherwise in violation of any applicable law in any country where the campaign is performed.
7. Confidentiality
7.1 Each party agrees that with respect to any Confidential Information (as defined below) that is disclosed by one party to the other in connection with the Agreement, the party receiving such Confidential Information shall not disclose such Confidential Information to any third party, or use it for any purpose, except in connection with its rights and obligations under the Agreement.

Confidential Information shall not be released by the receiving party to anyone except an employee or agent, who has a need to know the same, and who is bound by confidentiality obligations at least as restrictive as these contained herein. Neither party will use any portion of Confidential Information provided by the other party pursuant to the Agreement for any purpose other than as expressly set forth under the Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may disclose Confidential Information strictly necessary to comply with the demands of any court order, law or governmental agency and Outbrain may share Confidential Information of Customer with any holding company of Customer or with any subsidiary company of Customer’s holding company.

Termos e Condições Amplify
Estes Termos e Condições Amplify (“Termos”) são celebrados pela Outbrain Services Monetização de Conteúdo LTDA. (“Outbrain”) e entre a entidade executante de uma Ordem de Inserção ou usuária do Painel de Controle da Outbrain (“Cliente”). Estes Termos regem o uso pelo Cliente do Serviço (conforme definido abaixo) e, juntamente com um Pedido de Inserção (ou com as informações inseridas através do painel de controle da Outbrain (“Painel de Controle”) constitui o “Contrato” entre a Outbrain e o Cliente. Se houver qualquer inconsistência entre: (i) os termos de um Pedido de Inserção assinados ou aqueles inseridos através do Painel de Controle (ambos “Detalhes da Campanha”), e (ii) estes Termos, os Detalhes de Campanha, conforme aplicável, deverão prevalecer.
1. Serviços
1.1 A Outbrain tem uma parceria com uma rede de propriedades online (a “Rede”) para exibir uma interface de usuários que contém links que navegam para os sites. A Outbrain usa seus algoritmos, fornecendo metodologia de veiculação e as suas ferramentas avançadas de compra para apresentar anúncios em nome dos clientes a audiências relevantes em toda a Rede (o “Serviço”).
1.2 A Outbrain deve exibir links para conteúdo gráfico, textual, vídeo e/ou sonoro selecionado pelo Cliente na Rede. Tais links, juntamente com os títulos, imagens e/ou vídeos que podem acompanhar os links e a página de destino alcançada a partir de qualquer um desses links são o “Conteúdo”. A Outbrain deve continuar distribuindo o Conteúdo na Rede até os seguintes fatos, prevalecendo o que acontecer primeiro: (i) o fim do prazo da Campanha do Cliente; ou (ii) quando alcançado o orçamento do Cliente; ou (iii) quando desativada a campanha (considerando que a Outbrain reserva-se o direito de cobrar por Ações adicionais (vide cláusula 5.1) caso o Conteúdo seja retirado de circulação - ver FAQs para maiores detalhes).
1.3 A Outbrain não garante: (i) a colocação, posicionamento ou o tempo de entrega de qualquer Conteúdo; (ii) cliques ou impressões (incluindo cliques de um segmento de público específico); e/ou ou (iii) conversões. Se os Honorários (conforme definidos na Cláusula 5), não atingirem o orçamento do Cliente, as únicas opções do Cliente são: (i) sujeito à cláusula 2, prorrogar a data final da campanha, (ii) substituir ou complementar o conteúdo existente com outro Conteúdo; ou (iii) pagar apenas pelos Honorários acumulados. Em nenhum caso a Outbrain será responsabilizada por não entregar cliques, impressões e/ou visualizações para o Conteúdo.
1.4 A Outbrain disponibilizará relatórios para o Cliente relativamente à(s) campanha(s). Os relatórios finais mensais (os quais podem ser diferentes dos relatórios diários) servirão de base para o cálculo conclusivo dos Honorários de serviço devidos pelo Cliente. O Cliente pode enviar o seu próprio rastreador de cliques se compatível com a Outbrain. Se houver um desvio de 10% (dez por cento) ou mais entre os números do Cliente e os números da Outbrain, então as partes concordam em trabalhar em boa-fé para identificarem a quantidade correta a ser paga à Outbrain. Se a discrepância for inferior a 10% (dez por cento), os números da Outbrain serão definitivos.

O Cliente está autorizado a utilizar e/ou aprovou todas as imagens e palavras do título do Conteúdo (quer sejam escritas, criadas ou geradas pelo Cliente ou em nome do Cliente). Os títulos e as imagens do Conteúdo devem refletir com precisão o tom e o assunto do Conteúdo. Na medida em que a Outbrain (e/ou ferramentas integradas) fornece recomendações sobre o Conteúdo, os títulos e/ou a campanha, o Cliente continua a ser o único responsável.

2.3 O Conteúdo deve estar em conformidade com as Diretrizes de Publicidade da Outbrain, que podem ser atualizadas periodicamente pela Outbrain. A Outbrain pode, a qualquer momento (e a seu exclusivo critério), rejeitar ou remover Conteúdos.
2.4 O Cliente reconhece e concorda que determinados Conteúdos podem ser alterados no decurso de uma campanha (por exemplo, devido a revisões efetuadas pelo autor do Conteúdo, comentários dos leitores ou outros). O recurso do Cliente no caso de tal alteração será instruir a Outbrain a remover esse Conteúdo da sua campanha em curso e/ou selecionar outro Conteúdo. O Cliente reconhece ainda que, em caso de objeção ao Conteúdo (seja por parte do autor ou editor do Conteúdo, ou de outra forma), a Outbrain agirá em conformidade com a Secção 2 dos seus Termos de Utilização e poderá deixar (a seu exclusivo critério) de incluir o Conteúdo no Serviço ou exigir que o Cliente faça alterações ao Conteúdo.

Se o Cliente utilizar o Painel de Controle da Outbrain, o Cliente terá acesso a determinados relatórios online e ao controle sobre sua(s) campanha(s).

O Cliente é o único responsável por todas as alterações solicitadas ou aprovados (diretamente ou via API - Interface de Programação de Aplicativos - da Outbrain), inclusive as efetuadas através do Painel de Controle usando seu login. O Cliente é o único responsável por proteger o seu login e sua senha para o uso do Painel de Controle.

5. Honorários e Pagamento
5.1 Os Anúncios apresentados na Rede serão pagos através de um dos seguintes métodos: (i) custo por clique (“CPC”); (ii) custo por mil impressões (“CPM”); (iii) custo por visualização completa (“CPCv”) aonde ‘visualização completa’ significa que 50% (cinquenta por cento) do vídeo do Conteúdo está no campo de visão continuamente do começo ao fim do vídeo; (iv) custo por mil impressões visualizadas (“vCPM”); e/ou (v) outras ações desejadas e acordadas entre as partes, de tempos em tempos (cada uma denominada “Ação”). Uma impressão visualizada é considerada visualizada se 50% (cinquenta por cento) do anúncio em vídeo ficar no campo de visão por 2 segundos consecutivos. Os honorários da Outbrain serão baseados no número de Ações, somado o custo do Serviço (os “Honorários”), que não excederão o orçamento máximo pré-designado pelo Cliente. O Cliente deve pagar os Honorários à Outbrain conforme medida pelo sistema de rastreamento da Outbrain, até ao orçamento máximo designado nos Detalhes da Campanha. A Outbrain pode cobrar quaisquer impostos de uso ou vendas nacionais, estaduais ou locais aplicáveis, impostos de valor agregado ou taxas específicas do país, nos quais a Outbrain é legalmente obrigada a cobrar. Caso o CPC esteja sendo utilizado para medir a campanha, tal CPC não deverá ser menor que o CPC mínimo em vigor da Outbrain na época (o qual pode variar de acordo com o mercado). Se o Cliente estiver utilizando a ferramenta automática de leilão da Outbrain, o Cliente concede à Outbrain o direito de definir e modificar o CPC do Cliente, a critério da Outbrain, para que e Outbrain possa ajudar a alcançar as metas do Cliente para sua campanha. O Cliente deverá ser o único responsável por tarifas adicionais decorrentes da utilização de serviços terceiros em sua(s) campanha(s). Para que não existam dúvidas, a Outbrain não cobrirá, creditará ou reembolsará quaisquer valores de terceiros, incluindo-se, mas não se limitando, ao uso de quaisquer rastreadores de terceiros nas campanhas do Cliente. O Cliente pode aumentar ou diminuir seu orçamento através do Painel de Controle ou através do aditamento assinado do Pedido de Inserção.
5.2 Se o Cliente assinou um Pedido de Inserção, os Honorários serão geralmente faturados pela Outbrain ao Cliente no último dia do calendário do mês seguinte, salvo se de outra forma estabelecido no Pedido de Inserção. O Cliente deverá pagar todas as faturas no prazo de trinta (30) dias a partir do recebimento. Qualquer valor de uma cobrança não contestada (de acordo com a Seção 5.3) de boa-fé deve ser paga na íntegra. Se o Cliente forneceu os Detalhes da Campanha através do Painel de Controle ou assinou um Pedido de Inserção e usou um cartão de crédito para fins de faturamento, a Outbrain deverá cobrar seus Honorários (incluindo taxas de processamento) através do cartão de crédito do Cliente em intervalos determinados pela Outbrain, a seu exclusivo critério. A decisão sobre permitir ou não ao Cliente escolher entre fatura e cartão de crédito e/ou requerer pagamento antecipado (antes do início da campanha) recai exclusivamente sobre a Outbrain. A Outbrain deve analisar todos os pedidos de fatura, incluindo os pedidos de reembolso, caso-a-caso e se reserva o direito de aprovar ou negar qualquer pedido a seu exclusivo critério.
5.3 Se o Cliente contestar qualquer quantia em uma fatura, o Cliente deverá fornecer um aviso, por escrito, à Outbrain (por e-mail é suficiente) no prazo de trinta (30) dias após o recebimento de qualquer fatura, caso contrário será considerado como renúncia ao direito de contestar. O e-mail do Cliente deve incluir o valor contestado e fornecer informações adequadas para apoiar tal reivindicação. O Cliente não pode reter o pagamento de quaisquer quantias não contestadas, e qualquer parte de uma cobrança não contestada de boa fé deve ser paga integralmente.
5.4 Se o pagamento não for realizado no prazo previsto e não for devidamente contestado de acordo com a Cláusula 5.3, a Outbrain pode cobrar juros de mora à taxa de 6% (seis por cento) ao ano, a partir da data de vencimento até a data do efetivo pagamento, bem como correção monetária conforme a variação positiva do IGPM/FGV no período, seja antes ou após o julgamento. A Outbrain também se reserva o direito de suspender ou terminar, no todo ou em parte, o uso do Serviço do Cliente até que o Cliente pague todos os valores devidos. A Outbrain ainda tem direito de cobrar do Cliente todos os custos de cobrança, incluindo a agência de cobrança, honorários advocatícios contratuais de 20% (vinte por cento) e custas judiciais. O Cliente autoriza a Outbrain a investigar o histórico de crédito do Cliente. Se aplicável, o Cliente concorda em fornecer informações financeiras e documentação que possam ser solicitadas, de tempos em tempos pela Outbrain, como condição para a contínua extensão de crédito. O Cliente reconhece e concorda que qualquer conta, cartão de crédito e informações relacionadas a cobrança e pagamento que o Cliente forneça à Outbrain pode ser compartilhado pela Outbrain com empresas que trabalhem em seu benefício com a exclusiva finalidade de executar verificações de crédito, efetuar pagamento em favor da Outbrain, coletar dívidas para a Outbrain e/ou para fins de manutenção de conta do Cliente. A Outbrain pode, a seu exclusivo critério, prorrogar, rever ou revogar o crédito a qualquer tempo. A Outbrain reserva-se o direito de exigir o pagamento imediato de qualquer saldo devedor que exceda o limite de crédito do Cliente e/ou além dos prazos de pagamento definidos neste Contrato.
6. Recursos e Termos Adicionais
6.1 Outbrain também pode disponibilizar, de tempos em tempos, recursos adicionais de Serviços ao Cliente, os quais poderão estar sujeitos à concordância do Cliente de certos termos e condições adicionais (“Termos Adicionais”) (por exemplo, através de um acordo via acesso online ou através do Painel de Controle).

Além disso, se um usuário final tiver optado por não receber publicidade comportamental, através do(s) site(s) do Cliente (ou de mecanismo como configurações em um aplicativo de anunciante), o Cliente será inteiramente responsável por não carregar o Pixel da Outbrain. A Outbrain pode atualizar, alterar ou substituir a funcionalidade do Outbrain Pixel, ao seu critério, e a qualquer momento, desde que não interrompa o funcionamento da página de destino do Cliente e sirva o mesmo propósito.

2. TECNOLOGIA; POSICIONAMENTO E APARÊNCIA.
2.1 O Parceiro deve implementar a Tecnologia (incluindo o Ads.txt fornecido pela Outbrain) em conformidade com as instruções técnicas da Outbrain e todos os guias de implementação disponibilizados pela Outbrain, os quais serão revisados periodicamente. A Outbrain, a seu exclusivo critério, pode determinar qual Tecnologia disponível na Outbrain (por exemplo, JS, API, SDK, ou qualquer outra equivalente) deve ser utilizada em cada implementação do Parceiro. Implementações da Tecnologia deverão aparecer diretamente abaixo do Conteúdo principal de cada página dos Sites do Parceiro nos quais a Tecnologia é instalada ou de outra forma mutuamente acordada por escrito (sendo a autorização por e-mail suficiente). A implementação deve incluir pelo menos um (1) link para as Recomendações de Anunciantes por página, exceto se acordado de outra forma por escrito.
2.2 O Parceiro deverá exibir a Tecnologia, durante o Prazo, em conformidade com todas as leis e regulamentos aplicáveis, inclusive no que diz respeito à divulgação da origem ou natureza das Recomendações. Sem prejuízo da obrigação anterior, o Parceiro concorda em cumprir as instruções razoáveis da Outbrain, relativas a como a Tecnologia deve ser exibida, marcada ou identificada.
2.3 A Outbrain pode fazer Atualizações, de tempos em tempos. Caso a Outbrain solicite ao Parceiro que implemente tais Atualizações, o Parceiro deverá fazer tais Atualizações em trinta (30) dias corridos contados do recebimento de referida notificação da Outbrain. Se o Parceiro demonstrar que a solicitação de tais Atualizações irá afetar substancialmente o despenho do Site(s) do Parceiro(s), a Outbrain poderá informar as suas preocupações para o Parceiro e assim solicitar ou não que o Parceiro implemente tais Atualizações.
2.4 Durante o Prazo, a Outbrain deverá ser o único e exclusivo provedor de recomendações de conteúdo diretas e indiretas do Parceiro, sendo que “recomendações de conteúdo" são um ou mais links pagos ou não pagos compostos por uma manchete ou frase indicando que um Usuário Final será conduzido ao Conteúdo (independentemente de a Página de Destino exibir conteúdo, editoriais ou propagandas).
2.5 A Outbrain pode conduzir Usuários Finais a Sites de Parceiros, gerando visualizações adicionais de páginas de Sites de Parceiros através de Links Gerados por OB ou Recomendações de Recirculação. Se um Utilizador Final clicar em uma Recomendação de Anunciante a partir de um Link Gerado por OB, o Parceiro não será compensado por quaisquer receitas de publicidade geradas por essas visualizações de página. Qualquer exibição de Recomendações de Recirculação exigirá a aprovação prévia por escrito da Outbrain (por e-mail é suficiente), que pode estar condicionada a uma implementação mínima de Recomendações de Anunciante ou a outras taxas.
2.6 A Outbrain pode realizar testes de alteração da Tecnologia, incluindo a ordem, o formato e a frequência dos Cartões. Na medida em que o Parceiro controle qualquer teste, o Parceiro deverá cumprir essas solicitações de teste pelo menos trimestralmente.
3. RECEITA E PAGAMENTO.
3.1 Durante o Prazo, o Parceiro será pago com uma percentagem da Receita Bruta Ajustada indicada no Acordo de Distribuição para Parceiros. A Outbrain deverá fazer esses pagamentos dentro do número de dias indicado no Acordo de Distribuição para Parceiros após o final de qualquer mês do calendário durante o qual o Outbrain cobre Receita. Para evitar dúvidas, a Receita é líquida, entre outras, de taxas de anunciantes, de dados de terceiros integrados na plataforma da Outbrain, cliques/impressões inválidos e descontos/reembolsos de anunciantes e agências.
3.2 O Parceiro deve fornecer, prontamente, à Outbrain formulários fiscais completos e precisos e todos os outros materiais similares que Outbrain exija, os quais podem incluir o formulário de imposto W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E ou W-9, caso aplicável (coletivamente, todos esses formulários e materiais, “Materiais Fiscais”). Não obstante qualquer disposição estabelecida em contrário neste Contrato, a Outbrain pode: (a) reter os pagamentos devidos ao Parceiro nestes Termos, sem multa ou taxa de atraso até que o Outbrain tenha recebido os Materiais Fiscais do Parceiro, e (b) deduzir quaisquer impostos a serem pagos pela Outbrain dos pagamentos devidos aos Parceiros, conforme exigido por lei. Uma vez que a Outbrain receba os Materiais Fiscais, a Outbrain usará esforços comercialmente razoáveis para pagar os montantes em aberto ao Parceiro, em conformidade com a subseção acima (a), assim que razoavelmente possível.
3.3 Para assegurar pagamento adequado, o Parceiro é responsável por notificar a Outbrain por escrito de informações precisas sobre contato e pagamento. O Parceiro também é responsável por quaisquer encargos avaliados pelo banco do Parceiro ou pelo provedor de pagamento. Se o montante devido ao Parceiro for inferior a R$ 150,00 Reais), tal valor será acumulado até o mês calendário em que o saldo dos pagamentos devidos ao Parceiro exceda R$ 150,00 Reais). Qualquer controvérsia em relação a um pagamento da Outbrain deve ser submetida à Outbrain por escrito dentro de trinta (30) dias consecutivos após a data de postagem ou transferência eletrônica desse pagamento ou a mesma será considerada renunciada. Se a Outbrain não receber uma fatura do Parceiro no prazo de seis (6) meses a contar da data da Declaração emitida ao Parceiro, considera-se que essas taxas foram renunciadas.
3.4 Além dos outros direitos e remédios jurídicos que a Outbrain possuir, a Outbrain pode (i) reter e compensar quaisquer pagamentos devidos ao Parceiro no Contrato (incluindo-se inadimplemento substancial) contra qualquer taxa que o Parceiro deva à Outbrain sob o Contrato ou qualquer outro contrato, e/ou (ii) exigir que o Parceiro reembolse a Outbrain dentro de trinta (30) dias consecutivos de qualquer fatura, qualquer montante que a Outbrain possa ter pago em excesso ao Parceiro em períodos anteriores. Se um anunciante ou cliente da Outbrain, cujas Recomendações de Anunciantes tiverem sido exibidas em qualquer Site do Parceiro, não efetuar à Outbrain o pagamento, por qualquer motivo, a Outbrain ficará autorizada a reter o pagamento ou cobrar a conta do Parceiro.

- “DFS” stands for “Daily Fantasy Sports,” but is used here to include all formats of paid fantasy sports games/contests (i.e., season-long or daily). Paid fantasy sports games are contests with an entry fee in which participants select virtual teams based on real athletes. The participants and their virtual teams earn points based on the performance of real players in actual athletic events. Examples of paid fantasy sports operators include FanDuel, DraftKings, Yahoo! Sports, and FantasyDraft.
- Sports betting is a form of gambling based primarily on chance, in which participants wager on the occurrence (or non-occurrence) or outcome of a specific athletic event or act. Examples of sports betting providers include William Hill Sportsbook, Caesars Sportsbook, 888sport, BetAmerica, FanDuel Sportsbook, and DraftKings Sportsbook. Note that some companies operate in both verticals (e.g., FanDuel and DraftKings), but the universe of DFS operators is larger than that of state-licensed sports betting providers.
- Online casino gambling is used here to refer to traditional betting games normally found in a casino, but which are played in a purely digital, online environment.

Accordingly, the parties agree that each shall be entitled to injunctive relief to prevent breaches of the Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of the Agreement, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. The parties are independent contractors, and nothing in the Agreement will be construed to create a partnership, joint venture, agency or other relationship between the parties. No failure or forbearance by a party to enforce any of its rights under the Agreement or insist upon performance of the other party’s obligations under the Agreement will be deemed a waiver of such rights or obligations to any extent, and no waiver by either party of any default or breach of the Agreement will constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent default or breach. Neither party will be liable for any failure to perform due to causes beyond the party's reasonable control. The Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties concerning its subject matter and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements or understandings, written or oral, concerning such subject matter. The Partner Enrollment Form may be amended, modified or superseded, only by a written instrument signed by both parties. The headings in the Agreement are for the convenience of reference only and have no legal effect. The Agreement may be executed and delivered via electronic transmission or another means of complete and accurate reproduction, and copies of the Agreement delivered via such means will be deemed originals for all purposes. The Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. If any provision of the Agreement is held to be unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable, failing which, it shall be severed from the Agreement and the balance of the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. Neither party may assign the Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the other party’s prior written consent, except (i) due to operation of law, merger, reorganization, or as a result of an acquisition or change of control, and (ii) by Outbrain to its subsidiaries. Subject to the foregoing, the Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their permitted successors and assigns.

Vendor Code of Conduct
Version 1.2
Effective February 27th 2024
DownloadTable of Contents
- Ethical Business Practices
The Outbrain Group is committed to conducting our business in accordance with the highest ethical standards and in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations. We expect our vendors to share our principles and uphold our standards and for each to develop policies and programs as appropriate to ensure that all workers understand and adhere to these standards.- Anti-Bribery
The Outbrain Group does not tolerate corruption or bribery in any form and we expect our vendors to fully comply with requirements of all applicable anti-corruption laws, including but not limited to the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the UK Bribery Act. Vendors will not directly or indirectly give, offer, or accept anything of value to obtain or retain business or favored treatment, to influence actions or to obtain an improper advantage for the Outbrain Group itself, or any third party. This includes any benefit, fee, commission, dividend, gift, cash, gratuity, services, consideration or any inducements of any kind to any Outbrain Group representatives, officers, agents or employees of the Outbrain Group. Furthermore, vendors will ensure the same of any affiliates, retained agents, subcontractors, intermediaries or workers. This prohibition extends not only to public officials, candidates for office, and workers of state-owned enterprises, but also to workers or officers of counterparties, clients/customers, suppliers, any agent of the aforementioned parties, or any other person with whom the business does or anticipates doing business. - Privacy and Data Protection
We expect our vendors to protect confidential information. Vendors must adopt and maintain processes to provide reasonable protections for personal, proprietary and confidential information, including information that they access, receive or process on behalf of the Outbrain Group. Vendors should recognize that unauthorized use or disclosure of such information may have personal, legal, reputational and financial consequences for the vendor, individuals whose personal information may be implicated, and for the Outbrain Group. In addition, vendors must comply with all applicable privacy / data protection and information security laws and regulations. - Grievance Mechanism
We expect our vendors to have a process through which workers can raise workplace concerns without fear of retaliation. This grievance mechanism should be transparent and understandable to workers, and should ensure the protection of whistleblowers. - Anti-tax evasion and anti-facilitation of tax evasion
The Outbrain Group will not tolerate unlawful tax evasion or the facilitation of unlawful tax evasion. Vendors must not directly or indirectly engage in, or facilitate the engagement by others in, the deliberate and fraudulent diversion of funds from a tax authority. We also expect vendors to ensure the same of their agents, subcontractors, intermediaries and workers by adopting, maintaining and implementing reasonable processes that prevent such conduct.
- Anti-Bribery
- Labour and Human Rights
The Outbrain Group recognizes its responsibility to protect human rights. Examples of such rights are articulated in internationally recognized standards, including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the International Labour Organization (ILO) Core Conventions.
The Outbrain Group does not tolerate slavery, forced labour, child labour or human trafficking in any form and the Outbrain Group will not knowingly work with vendors who engage in these practices or permit their subcontractors to engage in these practices. We expect our vendors to fully comply with requirements of applicable slavery, forced labour and human trafficking laws, including without limitation the UK Modern Slavery Act 2015. Our Modern Slavery Statement is available here.
All work must be performed under and in accordance with contracts that have been entered into voluntarily. Vendors must not use involuntary labour of any kind, including prison labour, debt bondage, or forced labour by governments. Vendors must not engage in practices associated with forced labour. These practices, identified by the International Labour Organization (ILO), include withholding of wages, retention of identity documents, and restriction of movement. Vendors should put into place measures that ensure workers are not exploited by third party labour providers, such as recruiters or agencies. Such measures include: caps on or elimination of recruitment fees; provision of contracts to all workers in their native language or other language which they are able to understand; elimination of deposits paid by workers to vendors or recruiters to secure jobs.
Additionally, vendors must not engage in or support human trafficking and are encouraged to implement due diligence measures to ensure that no human trafficking exists within their extended supply chains. - Vendor Diversity and Inclusion
The Outbrain Group believes that diversity is a social and economic imperative and looks to vendors to share this commitment in their operations and within their supply chain. Vendors are expected to take proactive steps to provide a full spectrum of businesses – based on the ownership structure (for example, women owned, locally owned), scale (for example, small or medium enterprise) or nature of the enterprise (for example, social enterprise) – with the opportunity to compete on a fair and equal basis for business. - Environmental Stewardship
Environmental stewardship is a key aspect of how the Outbrain Group operates our business. We encourage our vendors to adhere to similar environmental efforts as appropriate to their businesses and aligned with best practices locally and globally. This includes implementing processes to identify and manage risks and opportunities related to climate change and water.
We encourage our vendors to track, manage, and mitigate the environmental impact of their operations and strategies, including those of their suppliers. Where feasible, vendors should take steps to incorporate how they will mitigate the impact of climate change into their strategies and business resiliency plans, through establishing greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction targets, selecting low-GHG products and services, and other initiatives, where relevant.
Vendors are encouraged to take steps to conserve, reduce use of, and reuse water in their own operations. Vendors are also encouraged to manage water resources to ensure their operations do not prevent access to sufficient safe water for all users in surrounding communities, including those both up and downstream from their facilities.
Vendors are encouraged to take concrete steps to minimize or eliminate waste across their operations and those of their suppliers. Any waste, and in particular hazardous waste, must be managed in a responsible manner. Chemical and other materials posing a hazard if released to the environment should be identified and managed to ensure safe handling, movement, storage, recycling or reuse and disposal.
All materials used by vendors must comply with applicable rules, laws, and regulations regarding the prohibition or restriction of specific substances to ensure safe and responsible handling, storage, movement, reuse, recycling and disposal. - Management Systems
The Outbrain Group encourages our vendors to institute effective management systems that utilize the best available techniques and practices to adhere to this Code and continuously improve their performance. This should include a process for the identification and proactive mitigation of risks associated with compliance to this Code, as well as a process for ongoing monitoring and review of risk controls, and prompt and accurate reporting of all incidents.
Examples of management systems with a scope related to the content of this Code include: ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 50001, SA8000, OHSAS 18001 and ISO22301. - Security
This Code sets forth our expectations for current and future vendors. We expect all new and existing vendors to meet our minimum expectations and to aspire to make continuous improvements to their businesses as noted herein across ethical, human and labour rights, vendor diversity and inclusion and environmental areas.
Any facts or circumstances which are likely to lead to your inability to meet the requirements and expectations of this Code should be reported immediately to your Outbrain Group relationship manager in writing. Retaliation of any kind against an individual who reports concerns in good faith violates the Outbrain Group’s principles and will not be tolerated.
We expect our vendors to join us in our commitment to transparency and disclosure. If requested, vendors are expected to provide details and data about their performance on the topics included in this Code to the business or to other entities.
If a vendor is found to be in violation of the requirements of this Code, we will expect that vendor to inform us immediately or as soon as is practicable and remedy any such violation in a timely and sensitive manner. Failure by a vendor to do so may lead to review or termination of our relationship.
The Outbrain Group is committed to continuously reviewing and updating this Code. Therefore, this Code is subject to modification from time to time. The contents of this Code are additional to and do not in any way affect or prejudice any of the Outbrain Group’s rights and remedies under the relevant contracts with each vendor, if any.
The failure or omission by Outbrain Inc to insist upon strict performance and compliance with any of the provisions of this Code at any time shall in no way constitute a waiver of its rights. In the event of any conflict or ambiguity between any provision of this Code and the provisions of any relevant contract with any vendor, the provisions of that contract will prevail.

Version 1.2
Effective January 18th 2024
DownloadTable of Contents
- Access to the Service. Demand Partner will use the Services only for its own use or for an advertiser or direct agent with which Demand Partner has a direct relationship (“DP Client”). During the Term, Outbrain grants Demand Partner a non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited license to access and use the Service as reasonably necessary for Demand Partner’s normal use of the Service on a self-serve basis, in particular, for the purposes of bidding on and purchasing Partner Inventory on an ‘auction’ basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Outbrain, in its sole discretion, shall determine what percentage of its Partner Inventory to permit DP to bid on and to allocate to the Service generally. Outbrain owns all right, title, and interest in and to the Service. Aside from the limited rights and licenses expressly granted hereunder, no other license is granted.
- Ads. Demand Partner has the right and authorizes Outbrain to place its, or DP Client’s, ads on the Partner Inventory, and is solely responsible for determining the propriety and legality of the ads (which includes all elements of the ad, including the photograph and headline). Ads must comply with Outbrain’s Advertising Guidelines (available at https://www.outbrain.com/advertisers/guidelines/). Outbrain may at any time for any or no reason reject or remove any ad. Demand Partner shall not, directly or indirectly, provide an ad that: (i) is obscene, defamatory, libelous, slanderous, pornographic, violent, profane, indecent or unlawful; (ii) is factually inaccurate, misleading or deceptive; or (iii) facilitates or promotes any type of illegal activity, including without limitation pyramid schemes, gambling, the sale or use of illicit drugs, or discrimination or harassment of any individual or group. Further, ads shall neither (a) redirect to a destination other than as originally submitted to the Service, and/or (b) be substantively different from the ad originally submitted to the Service.
- 3rd Party Targeting. When utilizes third party segments for enhanced targeting of its campaign. If Partner uses 3rd Party Targeting of its campaign(s), Partner shall pay for its use above mentioned including any applicable taxes. If Partner utilizes 3rd Party Targeting the Partner shall (i) disclose this to users via an appropriate notice and/or in its privacy policy (as applicable), and (ii) not use 3rd Party Targeting to target minors or other sensitive categories of data ((iii) disclose to it’s users that he may place third party pixels or tags (“the “Third Party Pixels”) for the purpose of providing analytics related to 3rd Party Targeting functionality. Partner represents and warrants that (a) its use of the Third Party Pixels is in accordance with Data Protection Laws; and (b) it has provided appropriate notice to users regarding use of the Pixels, including an explanation (1) that third parties, including Outbrain, may use cookies or similar technologies to collect or receive information from Partner’s website(s), and may use that information to provide measurement services and target ads; and (2) as to how users opt-out of the collection of information for targeting purposes.
- Beta Features. During the Term, Outbrain may offer Demand Partner the right to use certain experimental features that are made available to Demand Partner by Outbrain on a test basis (“Beta Features”). All Beta Features are provided on an “as is” basis, without any representations, warranties, covenants or obligations of any kind. Any use by Demand Partner of Beta Features is solely at Demand Partner’s own risk. Outbrain may modify or remove any Beta Features at any time.
- Reporting. All Demand Partner-trafficked ads will be counted as impressions. Outbrain’s final monthly reports of impressions will provide the conclusive basis for Outbrain's calculation of the Fees (defined below) owed by Demand Partner. If there is a 5% discrepancy or more between Demand Partner's reporting and Outbrain's, then the parties agree to work in good faith to identify the correct amount to be paid to Outbrain. If the discrepancy is less than 5%, Outbrain's numbers shall be conclusive. If Outbrain's reporting in a given day varies by more than 5% in comparison to Demand Partner's reporting, and Demand Partner notifies Outbrain of this in writing (email shall suffice), then the parties shall make all best efforts to solve the discrepancy as follows within 3 business days thereafter:(a) Outbrain and Demand Partner shall exchange reporting data in good faith in order to find the source of the discrepancy; (b) Outbrain shall stop sending bid requests and/or Demand Partner will stop bidding on that portion of supply where the Parties have agreed via email there is a discrepancy;(c) Based on the findings regarding the cause of such discrepancy it will be decided between the parties whether an amount should be waived. In case Demand Partner and Outbrain do not reach an agreement, Demand Partner may ultimately dispute the amount in question in accordance with this Section. For the avoidance of doubt, Demand Partner shall not allowed to withhold any non-disputed amounts.
- Limitations. Outbrain does not guarantee: (a) the placement, positioning or the timing of delivery of any ads, (b) impressions or clicks on any ads, or (c) conversions. In no event shall Outbrain be liable for failure to provide any of the foregoing.
- Prohibitions.

Outbrain may immediately suspend Demand Partner’s access or terminate this Agreement upon any breach by Demand Partner of this Section 1.8. Under no circumstances may Demand Partner use the Services for gathering competitive intelligence. To the extent that Outbrain provides the name and/or section of a name of the website related to Partner Inventory, Demand Partner shall not use such information (i) as its primary bidding criteria (e.g., Demand Partner will bid on a user based on what Demand Partner knows about such user, and only use the website name as secondary information informing the bid price), and (ii) to build a "segment" of users of a particular website or group of websites such that the group associated with a particular website, section of the website or general interest areas of a website (e.g., Demand Partner may not create an “ESPN Audience” or “sport fans” segment based on any information obtained by using the Service).

Digital Services Act
Version 2.1
Effective May 19th 2023
DownloadTable of Contents
In accordance with Article 24(2) Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 October 2022 on a Single Market for Digital Services and amending Directive 2000/31/EC (“Digital Services Act” or “DSA”), online platforms are required to publish information on the average monthly active recipients of the service in the European Union (“EU”) every six months starting from 17 February 2023.
The number of monthly active recipients of the services provided by Outbrain (individuals who interact with ads served by Outbrain on publisher sites) in the European Union according to Article 24 (2) DSA, on average during the period from 1st August 2022 to 31st January 2023 was over 45 millions per month.
This figure is only accurate to a certain degree as it is subject to several technical restrictions:
Absence of unified user accounts and of cross-device tracking: Outbrain will have as many user profiles as an individual uses different devices and browsers.
Context-based advertising: Outbrain will only display context-based advertising to non-consented users and no data will be collected for delivering those recommendations.
Third-party and cross-site tracking cookies limitations: users may have multiple user profiles for each website they visit where Outbrain's technology is implemented, even if those users are browsing from the same browser and device.
We have performed our calculation to the best of our knowledge based on the current information available from relevant regulators. This figure may be subject to uncertainty related to the exact methodology to be retained by regulators, as well as technical constraints.
Outbrain will update this information on a regular basis in accordance with Article 24 (2) DSA.
This information is being provided solely for purposes of complying with Article 24(2) of DSA and should not be used for any other purposes.
New Terms
Version 1.0
Effective April 24th 2023
DownloadTable of Contents
Effective Date: February 23, 2023
These terms were last revised as of the effective date set forth above. Outbrain reserves the right to change these terms from time to time.
Amplify Terms and Conditions
These Amplify Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) are entered into by Outbrain UK Limited (“Outbrain”) and the entity executing an Insertion Order or using the Outbrain dashboard (“Customer”). These Terms govern Customer’s use of the Outbrain service, and together with an Insertion Order (or the information entered through the Outbrain dashboard (“Dashboard”) comprise the "Agreement" between Outbrain and Customer. If there is any inconsistency between: (i) the terms of a signed Insertion Order or those entered through the Dashboard (either “Campaign Details”) and (ii) these Terms, the Campaign Details as applicable, shall prevail.
1. Services
1.1 Outbrain partners with a network of online properties (the “Network”) and displays a user interface containing links that navigate to websites (the “Service”). Outbrain uses its proprietary algorithms to determine what links appear within the Service on the Network.
1.2 Outbrain shall display links to graphical, textual, video and/or auditory content selected by Customer (the links and the content accessed from the link together are the “Content”) on the Network through the Service. Outbrain shall continue to distribute the Content on the Network until the earlier of: (i) the end date of Customer’s campaign; (ii) the reaching of Customer’s budget; or (iii) the disabling of a campaign (provided that Outbrain reserves the right to charge for additional Actions (as defined in 5.1) as the Content is removed from circulation – see FAQs for more details).
1.3 Outbrain does not guarantee: (i) the placement, positioning or the timing of delivery of any Content; (ii) clicks or impressions (including clicks from a particular audience segment); or (iii) conversions. If Fees (as defined in Section 5) do not reach Customer’s budget, Customer's sole remedies shall be to: (i) subject to Section 2 below, extend the end date of the applicable campaign; (ii) replace or add to the existing Content with other Content to complete the campaign; or (iii) to pay only for accrued Fees on the Content. In no event shall Outbrain be liable for failure to deliver traffic to Content.
1.4 Outbrain will make reports available to Customer regarding the campaign(s). The final monthly reports (which may differ from the daily reports) will provide the conclusive basis for Outbrain's calculation of the fees owed by Customer. Customer may submit its own Outbrain-compatible tracker. If there is a ten percent (10%) discrepancy or more between Customer's numbers (based on an Outbrain-compatible tracker) and Outbrain's numbers then the parties agree to work in good faith to identify the correct amount to be paid to Outbrain. If the discrepancy is less than ten percent (10%), Outbrain's numbers shall be conclusive.
2. Content
2.1 Customer has the right and authorises Outbrain to place the Content on the Network and is solely responsible for determining the propriety and legality of the Content. In addition, Content selected by Customer must comply with Outbrain's Advertising Guidelines, as may be updated from time to time by Outbrain. Outbrain may at any time (at its sole discretion) reject or remove Content. Customer acknowledges that Outbrain is not responsible for the Content and that the Content may change during the course of a campaign due to revisions by the Content's author, comments from readers, or otherwise. Customer's recourse in the event of such change shall be to direct Outbrain to remove such Content from its then-current campaign and/or select other Content. Customer further acknowledges that, if there is an objection to the Content (whether from the Content author or publisher, or otherwise) Outbrain will act in accordance with Section 2 of its Term of Use and may cease (at its sole discretion) including the Content in the Service.
2.2 Customer represents and warrants that: (i) if the Content was written by or under the direction of Customer or paid for by Customer, that fact shall be clearly disclosed on or near the Content; (ii) it is authorised to use and/or has approved all words of the Content’s headline (whether written by Customer or on Customer’s behalf); and (iii) Content headlines accurately reflect the tone and subject matter of the Content and, (iv) it is authorized to use and/or has approved any image(s) related to its campaign(s) with Outbrain.
2.3 Customer shall not, directly or indirectly, provide Content that: (i) is obscene, defamatory, libelous, slanderous, pornographic, violent, profane, indecent or unlawful; (ii) is factually inaccurate, misleading or deceptive; and/or (iii) facilitates or promotes any type of illegal activity, including without limitation pyramid schemes, gambling, the sale or use of illicit drugs, or discrimination or harassment of any individual or group. Further, each piece of Customer Content shall neither (a) redirect to a destination other than as originally submitted to the Service, and/or (b) be substantively different from the Content originally submitted to the Service.
2.4 Both parties shall implement anti-malware scanning processes of the Content. Upon notice, both parties shall take immediate action to remove any suspicious Content from the Network.
3. Term and Cancellation
The Campaign Details will set forth the start and end date of a particular campaign. However, the Agreement, or an individual campaign may be suspended or terminated: (i) by Customer for any reason upon two (2) business days' written notice to Outbrain or within twelve (12) hours through the Dashboard; or (ii) by Outbrain for any reason upon two (2) days’ written notice to Customer. During the notice period, all previously contracted campaigns shall continue to run pursuant to the Campaign Details and Customer shall be responsible for paying Outbrain for all Fees accrued up to and including the last day of such notice period. Outbrain also reserves the right to suspend or terminate all or part of Customer's use of the Service if Outbrain (at Outbrain’s discretion) reasonably believes Customer is in breach of the terms of this Agreement.
4. Campaign Details
If Customer utilizes Outbrain’s Dashboard, Customer will have access to certain online reports and control over its campaign(s). To the extent Customer registers and has access to the Dashboard, Outbrain may collect certain personal data of Customer. Outbrain collects and processes this personal data in order to respond to Customer questions or requests, provide Customer’s with access to certain services, verify Customer’s identity and communicate with Customers about the use of the Service. Customer is solely responsible for all changes requested or approved (either directly or via Outbrain’s API) including those made through the Dashboard using its login. Customer is solely responsible for protecting its login and password to the Dashboard. Customer can manage campaigns using the Dashboard by modifying the Campaign Details and/or Customer may have the option of working with an Outbrain account manager, as determined by Outbrain.
5. Fees and Payment Terms
5.1 “Fees” are based on deliverables sold via one of following methods: (i) cost-per-click (“CPC”); (ii) cost-per thousand impressions (“CPM”); (iii) cost-per-completed view (“CPCv”) where completed view means fifty percent (50%) of the video Ad/Content is in view continuously from beginning to the end of video; and/or (iv) cost-per thousand Viewable Impressions (“vCPM”); or (v) other desired actions agreed between the parties from time to time (each, an “Action”). A viewable impression is counted as viewable if fifty percent (50%) of the video ad is in view continuously for 2 seconds. Customer shall pay Outbrain Fees for Customer Content delivered via the Network as measured by Outbrain's tracking system. Outbrain may charge any applicable national, state, or local sales or use taxes, value added taxes or country-specific fees that Outbrain is legally obligated to charge. If CPC is being used for campaign measurement, such CPC may not be less than Outbrain’s then-in-effect minimum CPC (which may vary by market). If Customer is utilizing Outbrain’s automatic bidding feature, Customer grants Outbrain the right to set and modify Customer’s CPC at Outbrain’s discretion to aid in achieving Customer’s targets for its campaign. Customer shall be solely responsible for any additional fees incurred for utilizing third party ad serving on its campaign(s). For the avoidance of doubt, Outbrain will not cover, credit or reimburse any third party fees, including, but not limited to, use of any third-party tracker(s) on Customer’s campaign(s). Customer may increase or decrease its budget through the Dashboard or through a signed amendment to an Insertion Order.
5.2 If Customer has signed an Insertion Order, Fees will generally be invoiced by Outbrain to Customer by the end of the following calendar month, unless otherwise set forth in an IO. Customer shall pay all invoices within thirty (30) days from receipt. Any portion of a charge not disputed in good faith must be paid in full. If Customer has provided the Campaign Details through the Dashboard or has signed an Insertion Order and has used a credit card for billing purposes, Outbrain shall charge the Outbrain fees (including processing fees) to Customer’s credit card at such intervals as Outbrain determines in its sole discretion. The decision as to whether to allow Customer to choose between invoice, credit card or prepayment (as applicable) rests solely with Outbrain. Outbrain shall review all billing inquiries, including refund requests on a case-by-case basis and reserves the right to approve or deny any request in its sole discretion. Outbrain, in its sole discretion, may require a prepayment of any campaign budget before distributing Customer’s Content, until such time as Customer has established a credit history with Outbrain.
5.3 If Customer disputes any amount on an invoice, Customer should provide written notice to Outbrain (email is sufficient) within thirty (30) days of receipt of invoice or any such dispute shall be deemed waived. Customer’s email must include the amount disputed and provide adequate information to support any such claim. Customer may not withhold payment for any undisputed amounts, and any portion of a charge not disputed in good faith within thirty (30) days from receipt of invoice must be paid in full.
5.4 If payment is not made when due and not properly disputed pursuant to Section 5.3, Outbrain may charge interest at the rate of two percent (2%) per annum above the prevailing base rate of Barclays Bank PLC from the due date until the date of actual payment, whether before or after judgment. Outbrain also reserves the right to suspend or terminate any or all of Customer's use of the Service until Customer has paid all amounts due. Outbrain reserves the right to charge Customer for all costs of collection, including collection agency and reasonable legal fees and court costs. Customer authorises Outbrain to investigate Customer's credit record. If applicable, Customer agrees to provide such further financial information and documentation as may be required from time to time by Outbrain as a condition for the continued extension of credit. Customer acknowledges and agrees that any account, credit card and related billing and payment information which Customer provides to Outbrain may be shared by Outbrain with companies who work on Outbrain's behalf solely for the purpose of performing credit checks, effecting payment to Outbrain, collecting debts owed to Outbrain and/or servicing Customer's account. Outbrain may, in its sole discretion, extend, revise or revoke credit at any time. In addition, Outbrain reserves the right to require immediate payment of any outstanding balance that exceeds Customer’s credit limit and / or past the payment terms defined in this Agreement.
6. Additional Features and Terms
6.1 Outbrain may also make additional Service features available to Customer from time to time and use of such features may be subject to Customer’s agreement to certain additional terms and conditions (“Additional Terms”) (e.g., via an online click-through agreement or via the Dashboard).

Customer shall pay Outbrain Fees for Customer Content delivered via the Network as measured by Outbrain's tracking system. Outbrain may charge any applicable national, state, or local sales or use taxes, value added taxes or country-specific fees that Outbrain is legally obligated to charge. If CPC is being used for campaign measurement, such CPC may not be less than Outbrain’s then-in-effect minimum CPC (which may vary by market). If Customer is utilizing Outbrain’s automatic bidding feature, Customer grants Outbrain the right to set and modify Customer’s CPC at Outbrain’s discretion to aid in achieving Customer’s targets for its campaign. Customer shall be solely responsible for any additional fees incurred for utilizing third party ad serving on its campaign(s). For the avoidance of doubt, Outbrain will not cover, credit or reimburse any third party fees, including, but not limited to, use of any third-party tracker(s) on Customer’s campaign(s). Customer may increase or decrease its budget through the Dashboard or through a signed amendment to an Insertion Order.

Customer shall pay all invoices within thirty (30) days from receipt. Any portion of a charge not disputed in good faith must be paid in full. If Customer has provided the Campaign Details through the Dashboard or has signed an Insertion Order and has used a credit card for billing purposes, Outbrain shall charge the Outbrain fees (including processing fees) to Customer’s credit card at such intervals as Outbrain determines in its sole discretion. The decision as to whether to allow Customer to choose between invoice, credit card or prepayment (as applicable) rests solely with Outbrain. Outbrain shall review all billing inquiries, including refund requests on a case-by-case basis and reserves the right to approve or deny any request in its sole discretion. Outbrain, in its sole discretion, may require a prepayment of any campaign budget before distributing Customer’s Content, until such time as Customer has established a credit history with Outbrain.
5.3 If Customer disputes any amount on an invoice, Customer should provide written notice to Outbrain (email is sufficient) within thirty (30) days of receipt of invoice or any such dispute shall be deemed waived. Customer’s email must include the amount disputed and provide adequate information to support any such claim. Customer may not withhold payment for any undisputed amounts, and any portion of a charge not disputed in good faith within thirty (30) days from receipt of invoice must be paid in full.

1.10 "Partner Sites" means the web properties, Applications or platforms identified in the Partner Enrollment Form, together with any additional properties on which Partner elects to implement the Technology upon prior written approval from Outbrain (e-mail will suffice).
1.11 "Recirculation Recs" means Recommendations (that are not Advertiser Recs) which link to Content on Partner Sites.
1.12 "Recommendations" means the display of Advertiser Recs and/or Recirculation Recs via Cards that Outbrain delivers to the viewer of a web page, Application or platform on which the Technology is implemented.

1.16 "OB Generated Links” means an End User page view on a Partner Site generated from a referral link of OBNews.Outbrain.com (or successor link or an additional link(s) which may be provided by Outbrain from time to time).
2. TECHNOLOGY; PLACEMENT AND APPEARANCE.
2.1 Partner shall implement the Technology (including Outbrain’s provided Ads.txt) pursuant to Outbrain’s technical instructions and any implementation guides made available by Outbrain, as revised from time to time. Outbrain, in its sole discretion, may determine which of Outbrain’s available Technology (e.g., JS, API, SDK or any other equivalent) shall be used in each Partner implementation. Implementations of the Technology must appear directly below the main Content on each page of the Partner Sites on which the Technology is installed or as otherwise mutually agreed in writing (e-mail shall suffice). Implementation must include at least one (1) link to Advertiser Recs per page unless otherwise agreed in writing.
2.2 Partner shall display the Technology throughout the Term in accordance with all self-regulatory codes and applicable laws and regulations, including with respect to disclosing the source or nature of the Recommendations. Without limiting the foregoing obligation, Partner agrees to comply with Outbrain’s reasonable instructions regarding how the Technology is to be displayed, labelled or identified.
2.3 Outbrain may make Updates from time to time. If Outbrain requests Partner to implement any such Updates, Partner shall make such Updates within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt of notice from Outbrain. If Partner can demonstrate such Updates would materially and adversely affect the performance of the Partner Sites, Outbrain may either address Partner’s concerns to its reasonable satisfaction or agree not to require Partner to implement such Updates.
2.4 During the Term, Outbrain shall be Partner's sole and exclusive provider of direct and indirect content recommendations, where “content recommendations” are one or more paid or unpaid links comprised of a headline or phrase indicating that an End User will be driven to Content (regardless of whether the Destination Page displays content, advertorials or advertisements).
2.5 Outbrain may drive End Users to Partner Sites generating additional Partner Site page views via OB Generated Links or Recirculation Recs. If an End User clicks on an Advertiser Rec from an OB Generated Link, Partner shall not be compensated for any advertising revenue generated by such page views. Any display of Recirculation Recs will require Outbrain’s prior written approval (email will suffice), which may be conditioned on a minimum Advertiser Rec implementation or other fees.
2.6 Outbrain may test changes to the Technology, including to Card ordering, format and frequency. To the extent that Partner controls any testing, Partner shall comply with such testing requests on at least a quarterly basis.
3. REVENUE & PAYMENT.
3.1 During the Term, Partner will be paid as set forth on the Partner Enrollment Form. For the avoidance of doubt, Revenue is net of, inter alia, advertiser fees, third-party data services integrated into Outbrain’s platform, invalid clicks/impressions, and advertiser and agency discounts/rebates.
3.2 Partner must promptly provide Outbrain completed and accurate tax forms and all other similar materials Outbrain requires, which may include tax form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or W-9 if applicable (collectively all such forms and materials, “Tax Materials”). Notwithstanding anything set forth to the contrary in this Agreement, Outbrain may (a) withhold payments owed to Partner hereunder without penalty or late fee until Outbrain has received Partner’s Tax Materials, and (b) deduct any applicable taxes payable by Outbrain from payments owed to Partner hereunder as required by law. Once Outbrain has received the Tax Materials, Outbrain will use commercially reasonable efforts to pay any amounts not paid to Partner pursuant to the foregoing subsection (a) as soon as reasonably practicable.
3.3 To ensure proper payment, Partner is responsible for notifying Outbrain in writing of accurate contact and payment information. Partner is also responsible for any charges assessed by Partner’s bank or payment provider. If the amount owed to Partner is less than GBP200, then the amount owed will be accrued if and until the calendar month in which the balance of the payments due to Partner exceeds GBP200. Any dispute regarding a payment from Outbrain must be submitted to Outbrain in writing within thirty (30) calendar days of postage or wire transfer date of such payment or it shall be deemed waived. If Outbrain does not receive an invoice from Partner within six (6) months of the date of the Statement issued to Partner, such fees shall be considered waived.
3.4 In addition to Outbrain’s other rights and remedies, Outbrain may (i) withhold and offset any payments owed to Partner under the Agreement (including in case of a material breach) against any fees Partner owes Outbrain under the Agreement or any other agreement), and/or (ii) require Partner to refund Outbrain within thirty (30) calendar days of any invoice, any amounts Outbrain may have overpaid to Partner in prior periods. If an Outbrain advertiser or client whose Advertiser Recs were displayed on any Partner Sites defaults on payment to Outbrain, for any reason, Outbrain may withhold payment or charge back Partner’s account.
4. PRIVACY. The provisions of the Engage Data Sharing Agreement shall be fully incorporated into, and form part of, this Agreement.
5. LICENSE TERMS.
5.1 During the Term and subject to Partner’s compliance with all of the terms of the Agreement, Outbrain grants Partner a limited, non-exclusive, revocable, non-sublicensable, non- transferable licence to use the Technology to display the Advertiser Recs, and to the extent permitted by Section 2.5 Recirculation Recs, on Partner Sites in the form and format provided.
5.2 Outbrain grants Partner, during the Term, a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to use and display Outbrain’s trademarks, service marks and logos (collectively, “Outbrain Marks”), as incorporated into the Technology, strictly in accordance with Partner’s obligations and rights in the Agreement. All goodwill arising out of Partner’s use of any of the Outbrain Marks shall inure solely to the benefit of Outbrain. Outbrain shall have the right to refer to Partner and the Partner Sites in any general listing of advertisers or partners (including in marketing and sales materials) who have implemented the Technology. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party will request prior written consent before issuing a press release regarding the Agreement or using the other party’s name on its website other than in accordance with the Agreement.
5.3 As between the parties: (a) Outbrain retains all right, title and interest in and to the Outbrain Marks, Technology and Data (excluding any Content from the Partner Sites which shall be owned by Partner), the Outbrain site at www.outbrain.com and the Dashboard; and (b) Partner retains all right, title and interest in and to the Partner Sites including the look and feel excluding the items described in subparagraph (a) above.
5.4 The licences granted under the Agreement are specifically set forth in the Agreement; there are no implied rights. All rights not expressly granted to Partner in the Agreement are reserved by Outbrain.
6. PROHIBITED ACTIVITY.
6.1 Partner will not: (i) edit, modify, truncate, filter, or change the order of Recommendations; (ii) obscure, modify or redirect End Users away from a Destination Page, or intersperse any Content between the Recommendations and any Destination Page; (iii) minimise, remove or otherwise inhibit the full and complete display of the Technology; (iv) artificially inflate clicks or impressions on Recommendations, or encourage or require any person to click on Recommendations using incentives or other methods and/or engage in any automated, deceptive, fraudulent, invalid, incentivised, or other methods that are designed to generate clicks which are not the willing actions of End Users; (v) remove, deface, obscure, or alter any notices of Intellectual Property Rights included in the Technology; (vi) access, reproduce or use the Technology in any manner or for any purpose other than as expressly permitted under the Agreement; (vii) modify, adapt, translate, prepare derivative works from, decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble the Technology or otherwise attempt to derive source code from the Technology, or attempt to create a substitute or similar service or product through use of or access to Technology or related proprietary information or otherwise use the Technology on behalf of or for the benefit of any third party; (viii) attempt to interfere with or disrupt the Technology or attempt to gain access to any systems or networks that connect to it other than through the Technology as implemented pursuant to the Agreement; (ix) copy, cache, distribute, display, alter, or otherwise use any Recommendations (or authorise or assist any third party to do so) except as such Recommendations are provided through the Technology; or (x) use the Technology for any purpose not authorised by Outbrain, including for any purpose that is inconsistent with the implementation guidelines as provided to Partner.
6.2 Partner will not deploy the Technology on any properties that display or contain adult, obscene, pornographic, defamatory, libellous, infringing, abusive, fake or deceptive or illegal Content, that promotes hate or discrimination, facilitates the sale of firearms or illegal drugs, or that participates or encourages participation in, illegal activities or is directed at children under of the age of 16. Outbrain reserves the right in its sole discretion to disable the Technology on any property at any time.
7. REGISTRATION. Partner may register for the Outbrain dashboard (the “Dashboard”) to access online reports and control certain settings for the Technology. To the extent that Partner has access to the Dashboard, Outbrain may collect Partner’s (or individuals who act on behalf of Partner) personally identifiable information associated with such Dashboard access. Partner will be solely responsible for all changes to data made by it, or individuals acting on Partner’s behalf, through the Dashboard. Estimates of Revenue paid or payable Partner displayed in the Dashboard are provided solely for the Partner’s convenience. Outbrain does not guarantee that these estimated amounts displayed, if any, shall be precise or definitively due to be paid to Partner pursuant to the Agreement. Access to Outbrain dashboard shall be solely at the discretion of Outbrain and may be discontinued by Outbrain at any time.
8. SUSPENSION OF TECHNOLOGY; TERMINATION.
8.1 Outbrain may suspend or discontinue all or any aspect of the Technology, including its availability, at any time if required by exigent circumstances (such as a significant security breach, propagation of malware, other viruses to users, etc.) or other improper, unlawful, fraudulent or misleading circumstances.
8.2 Either party may terminate the Agreement at any time in the event of a material breach by the other party of any provision of the Agreement that remains uncured for fourteen (14) days after the breaching party’s receipt of written notice of the breach.
8.3 The Agreement is terminable on fourteen (14) days prior written notice unless otherwise stated on the Partner Enrollment Form. In addition, Outbrain may terminate the Agreement if the Technology is not implemented within thirty (30) days of Outbrain providing the Technology to Partner. Upon expiration or termination of the Agreement, all rights and obligations of the parties under the Agreement will be extinguished, except that Sections 9.6, 9.7, 10, 11 and 13 of the Terms will survive termination, as well as any other terms of this Agreement which, by their nature should survive termination, and continue to bind the parties.
9. LIMITED WARRANTIES; INDEMNITY.
9.1 Each party represents and warrants to the other that: (i) it has all right, power, and authority necessary to enter into the Agreement and perform its obligations under it; and (ii) it will comply with all applicable laws, regulations and orders in its performance of the Agreement.
9.2 Outbrain warrants that the Technology (as provided and made available by Outbrain and implemented by Partner in accordance with the Agreement) does not and will not, to the best of Outbrain's knowledge, infringe any Intellectual Property Right of any third party.
9.3 Partner represents and warrants that the Partner Sites: (i) owns or has the right to operate the Partner Site(s); (ii) will adhere to the Outbrain Partner Guidelines and/or to the Partner’s own guidelines which shall be substantially similar to Outbrains’; (iii) do not and will not contain any Content that is illegal or that infringes any Intellectual Property Rights of any third party; (iv) will not contain any obscene, defamatory, libelous, slanderous material or material that violates any person’s right of publicity, privacy or personality; and (v) do not and will not knowingly contain a misrepresentation of fact or factual inaccuracy.

9.5 Except as expressly provided in the Agreement, neither party makes any representations or warranties, express or implied in relation to the Agreement, the Partner Sites, the Technology, any Content made available by Outbrain through the Technology or any other matters (including any implied terms relating to satisfactory quality or fitness for any purpose, any warranties of availability or uninterrupted or error free performance, any warranties arising out of any course of performance or dealing).
9.6 Outbrain makes no representations or warranties concerning any Content contained in or accessed via the Technology, including without limitation Advertiser Recs, and Outbrain will not be responsible or liable for the contents, accuracy, intellectual property infringement, legality or decency of Content provided through the Technology or for Partner’s reliance on any of the foregoing.
9.7 Each party (the “Indemnifying Party”) shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other party and its parent and affiliates, and each of its and their respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, members, authorised representatives, employees and agents (collectively, the “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs, settlements, regulatory findings and/or fines and other expenses (including reasonable legal fees) (collectively, “Claims”) that arise out of any third party claim occasioned by any breach of any of the Indemnifying Party’s representations and warranties in this Agreement. The Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of any Claim in writing, provided, however, that any delay in providing such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any of its obligations except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such delay. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defence and settlement of the Claim with counsel of its own choosing and its own expense, subject to the Indemnifying Party’s control thereof.
10. CONFIDENTIALITY. Each party (the “Receiving Party”) acknowledges that it will have access to certain information and materials, including the terms of the Agreement, concerning the business, technology, products and services of the other party (the “Disclosing Party”) that are, or reasonably should be considered given the circumstances of disclosure to be, confidential (“Confidential Information”). Confidential Information will not include: (a) information known to the Receiving Party prior to disclosure by the Disclosing Party; (b) information independently developed by the Receiving Party without reference to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party; (c) information that is or becomes publicly known through no fault of the Receiving Party; or (d) information disclosed to the Receiving Party by a third party without breach of any obligation of confidence.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information to the extent required by applicable law or legal process, provided that the Receiving Party provides prompt written notice of any required disclosure to the Disclosing Party and provides reasonable cooperation (at the Disclosing Party’s expense) with any effort by the Disclosing Party to contest or limit the scope of such disclosure.
11. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
11.1 Neither Outbrain nor the Partner exclude or limit liability to the other for: (i) death or personal injury caused by its negligence or that of its employees or contractors; (ii) fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or (iii) any other liability which cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
11.2 Subject always to Section 11.1, neither party will be liable for: (a) any special, indirect, incidental or consequential loss or damage; (b) any loss of goodwill or reputation; (c) any loss of Data; (d) any loss of contracts, business or anticipated savings; or (e) any loss of profits arising out of or in connection with the Agreement or any breach hereof, whether or not such party has been advised of the possibility of such loss or damage, howsoever incurred and whether under a theory of contract, tort (including negligence) statutory duty or otherwise.
11.3 Subject always to Section 11.1 and except for liabilities arising out of a party’s violation, misappropriation or infringement of a party’s Intellectual Property Rights, in no event will either party’s aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with the Agreement or any breach (whether under a theory of contract, tort (including negligence), statutory duty, or otherwise) exceed the greater of: (i) £100,000 GBP; and (ii) the amount of Revenue paid or payable to the Partner in the 12-month period immediately preceding the event giving rise to liability (or, in the case of a series of connected events, the first such event).
11.4 Each party acknowledges to each other that it accepts that the restrictions on the liability of each other party, as set out in the Agreement, are reasonable in all the circumstances.
12. EXPORT CONTROLS. Partner will comply with all export laws and restrictions and regulations of the Department of Commerce, the United States Department of Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC"), or other United States or foreign agency or authority, and shall not export, or allow the export or re-export of the Technology in violation of any such restrictions, laws or regulations. By downloading or using the Technology, Partner agrees to the foregoing and represent and warrants that it is not located in, under the control of, or a national or resident of any restricted country. Partner represents and warrants that none of it, or any individual, entity, or organisation holding any ownership interest or controlling interest in Partner, including any officer or director, is an individual, entity, organisation with whom any United States law, regulation, or executive order prohibits U.S. companies and individuals from dealing, including, names appearing on the Specially Designated Nationals List.
13. MISCELLANEOUS. The Agreement shall be interpreted and construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of England and Wales, without regard to its conflict of law provisions or the United Nations Conventions for the International Sale of Goods. Any action or proceeding arising from or relating to the Agreement must be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of English courts. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if any of the provisions of the Agreement is not performed in accordance with these specific terms. Accordingly, the parties agree that each shall be entitled to injunctive relief to prevent breaches of the Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of the Agreement, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. The parties are independent contractors, and nothing in the Agreement will be construed to create a partnership, joint venture, agency or other relationship between the parties. No failure or forbearance by a party to enforce any of its rights under the Agreement or insist upon performance of the other party’s obligations under the Agreement will be deemed a waiver of such rights or obligations to any extent, and no waiver by either party of any default or breach of the Agreement will constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent default or breach. Neither party will be liable for any failure to perform due to causes beyond the party's reasonable control. The Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties concerning its subject matter and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements or understandings, written or verbal, concerning such subject matter. The parties to this Agreement do not intend that any term of this Agreement should be enforceable, by virtue of the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 or otherwise, by any person who is not a Party to this Agreement. The Partner Enrollment Form may be amended, modified or superseded, only by a written instrument signed by both parties. The headings in the Agreement are for the convenience of reference only and have no legal effect. Any reference to days in the Agreement shall be deemed business days unless otherwise specified. The Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. If any provision of the Agreement is held to be unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable, failing which, it shall be severed from the Agreement and the balance of the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. Neither party may assign the Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the other party’s prior written consent, except (i) due to operation of law, merger, reorganisation, or as a result of an acquisition or change of control, and (ii) by Outbrain to its subsidiaries. Subject to the foregoing, the Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their permitted successors and assigns.

By downloading or using the Technology, Partner agrees to the foregoing and represent and warrants that it is not located in, under the control of, or a national or resident of any restricted country. Partner represents and warrants that none of it, or any individual, entity, or organisation holding any ownership interest or controlling interest in Partner, including any officer or director, is an individual, entity, organisation with whom any United States law, regulation, or executive order prohibits U.S. companies and individuals from dealing, including, names appearing on the Specially Designated Nationals List.
11. MISCELLANEOUS.

Any action or proceeding arising from or relating to the Agreement must be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of English courts. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if any of the provisions of the Agreement is not performed in accordance with these specific terms. Accordingly, the parties agree that each shall be entitled to injunctive relief to prevent breaches of the Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of the Agreement, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. The parties are independent contractors, and nothing in the Agreement will be construed to create a partnership, joint venture, agency or other relationship between the parties. No failure or forbearance by a party to enforce any of its rights under the Agreement or insist upon performance of the other party’s obligations under the Agreement will be deemed a waiver of such rights or obligations to any extent, and no waiver by either party of any default or breach of the Agreement will constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent default or breach. Neither party will be liable for any failure to perform due to causes beyond the party's reasonable control. The Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties concerning its subject matter and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements or understandings, written or verbal, concerning such subject matter. The parties to this Agreement do not intend that any term of this Agreement should be enforceable, by virtue of the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 or otherwise, by any person who is not a Party to this Agreement. The Partner Enrollment Form may be amended, modified or superseded, only by a written instrument signed by both parties. The headings in the Agreement are for the convenience of reference only and have no legal effect. Any reference to days in the Agreement shall be deemed business days unless otherwise specified. The Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. If any provision of the Agreement is held to be unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable, failing which, it shall be severed from the Agreement and the balance of the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. Neither party may assign the Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the other party’s prior written consent, except (i) due to operation of law, merger, reorganisation, or as a result of an acquisition or change of control, and (ii) by Outbrain to its subsidiaries. Subject to the foregoing, the Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their permitted successors and assigns.
