Developer represents and warrants that there will not be any fraudulent Clickthroughs, Inducements, or Unintended Clickthroughs on their Mobile Properties. The Advertisers and Apple shall not be liable for any advertising fees based on fraudulent Clickthroughs, Inducements, and/or Unintended Clickthroughs.

Developer acknowledges that Apple may market and promote the Mobile Properties worldwide to potential advertisers by such means as it deems appropriate in any medium, including, without limitation, listing the Mobile Properties in Apple proposals and presentations, advertisements, trade publications, press releases, and other promotional opportunities and materials, on a royalty free basis. For the same purposes, Apple may place Developer’s name or logo and/or hotlink to the Mobile Properties of Developer on Apple’s web site and within Apple’s media kit.
(b) Press Releases. Apple must approve, in writing, all press releases or announcements referring to the Agreement or the Apple/Developer relationship prior to their release to the press or any third party.

(a) Apple Campaigns. Developer shall receive seventy percent (70%) of the Net Advertising Revenue derived from the sale of advertising on the Developer’s Mobile Properties (“Developer Revenue Share”) net of any applicable taxes as provided in Section 6 of this Agreement. The Developer Revenue Share percentage may be adjusted from time to time at Apple’s sole discretion. Notice of material changes to the Revenue Share percentage will be posted on the Company Portal.

(b) Advertiser-Specific Adjustments and Allocations. In the context of providing the Services hereunder, Apple is authorized to deliver free value add bonus impressions or Clickthroughs (collectively, “Bonus Impressions”). This may in some cases result in over-delivery of the number of campaign impressions or Clickthroughs. Such Bonus Impressions may be related to delivery of a survey or may be part of the pricing of the ad campaign. In all such cases, Developer authorizes Apple to deliver such additional impressions or Clickthroughs on Developer Mobile Properties.
6. Billing and Payment.
(a) Apple Billing and Payment Terms. Apple shall remit payment to Developer, or issue a credit in Developer’s favor for Developer Revenue Share earned during each Billing Period, in accordance with Apple standard business practices, including the following: remittance payments (i) are made by means of electronic funds transfer only; (ii) are subject to a minimum monthly remittance amount threshold (e.g. $150.00); (iii) require Developer to provide certain remittance-related information on the iTunes Connect site; and (iv) subject to the foregoing requirements, will be made no later than sixty (60) days following the end of the Billing Period. “Billing Period” is defined as the four or five week period that represents Apple’s fiscal month. Apple may deduct expenses, as provided in Section 5, and taxes, as provided in Section 6 before remitting the Developer Revenue Share. In the event that payments received by Apple from Advertisers are in a currency other than the remittance currency agreed between Apple and Developer, the amounts received shall be converted to the remittance currency, and the amount to be remitted to Developer shall be determined by the rate obtained by Apple to convert the currency. Apple may provide a means on iTunes Connect to enable Developer to designate a primary currency for the bank account designated by Developer for receiving remittances (“Designated Currency”). Apple may cause Apple’s bank to convert all remittances in any remittance currency other than the Designated Currency into the Designated Currency prior to remittance to Developer. Developer agrees that any resulting currency exchange differentials or fees charged by Apple’s bank may be deducted from such remittances. Developer is responsible for any fees (e.g. wire transfer fees) charged by Developer’s bank or any intermediary banks between Developer’s bank and Apple’s. Apple may combine payments under this Agreement with other amounts being paid to Developer by Apple. Apple may offset fees owed to it against any fees owed Developer. To the extent Apple pays Developer ahead of collections from the Advertiser, Apple shall have the right to recapture payments made to Developer in the event Advertisers fail to pay Apple in full amounts due related to completed advertising campaigns.
(b) Taxes. Developer agrees to pay all applicable taxes or levies imposed by any government entity in connection with Developer’s participation under the Agreement, including but not limited to, withholding, sales, use, goods, and services, and value added tax. The full amount of such taxes or levies shall be solely for Developer’s account and shall not reduce Apple’s share of the Net Advertising Revenue derived from the sale of advertising on the Mobile Properties (the “Apple Revenue Share”).
(c) Withholding Tax. In the event that any remittance made by Apple to Developer is subject to any withholding or similar tax, the full amount of that withholding or similar tax shall be solely for Developer’s account, and will not reduce the Apple Revenue Share. If Apple reasonably believes that such tax is due, Apple will deduct the full amount of such withholding or similar tax from the gross amount owed Developer, and will pay the full amount withheld over to the competent tax authorities. Apple will apply a reduced rate of withholding tax if any, provided for in any applicable income tax treaty only if Developer furnishes Apple with such documentation required under that income tax treaty or otherwise satisfactory to Apple, sufficient to establish Developer’s entitlement to the benefit of that reduced rate of withholding tax. Upon Developer’s timely request to Apple in writing, using means reasonably designated by Apple, Apple will use commercially practical efforts to report to Developer the amount of Apple’s payment of withholding or similar taxes to the competent tax authorities on Developer’s behalf. Developer will indemnify and hold Apple harmless against any and all claims by any competent tax authority for any underpayment of any such withholding or similar taxes, and any penalties and/or interest thereon, including, but not limited to, underpayments attributable to any erroneous claim or representation by Developer as to Developer’s entitlement to, or Developer’s disqualification for, the benefit of a reduced rate of withholding tax.
(d) Contact and Payment Information. To ensure proper payment, Developer is solely responsible for providing and maintaining accurate address and other contact information as well as payment information associated with Developer’s account. For U.S. taxpayers, this information includes without limitation a valid U.S. tax identification number and a fully-completed Form W-9. For non-U.S. taxpayers, this information includes without limitation either a signed certification that the taxpayer does not have U.S. Activities (as described on iTunes Connect) or a fully-completed Form W-8BEN, Form W-8ECI, Form W-8IMY, Form 8233, or other form, which may require a valid U.S. tax identification number, as required by the U.S. tax authorities.
(e) Discrepancies. Developer has ninety (90) days from the receipt of payment to report any discrepancy or to question the payment. Apple and Developer will use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any discrepancy or question quickly and fairly. In case of a discrepancy between any report generated by Apple’s online reporting application and Apple’s final billing information, Apple’s final billing information will control.
7. Campaign Activation. Apple shall make commercially reasonable efforts to use information gathered during the Developer Enrollment Process to determine which advertisements are presented on the Mobile Properties; provided, Apple shall assume no liability for advertising campaigns that are presented on Mobile Properties under any circumstances.
8. Apple Confidential Information. The term "Apple Confidential Information" shall mean this Agreement, including any information about the Services or other terms and conditions contained herein, and all other confidential or proprietary information disclosed by Apple to Developer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Apple Confidential Information will not include: (i) information that is generally and legitimately available to the public through no fault or breach of Developer, (ii) information that is generally made available to the public by Apple, (iii) information that is independently developed by Developer without the use of any Apple Confidential Information, or (iv) information that was rightfully obtained from a third party who had the right to transfer or disclose it to Developer without limitation. Developer agrees to protect Apple Confidential Information using at least the same degree of care that Developer uses to protect its own confidential information of similar importance, but no less than a reasonable degree of care. Developer agrees to use Apple Confidential Information solely for the purpose of exercising its rights and performing its obligations under this Agreement and agree not to use Apple Confidential Information for any other purpose, for Developer’s own or any third party’s benefit, without Apple's prior written consent. You further agree not to disclose or disseminate Apple Confidential Information to anyone other than: (i) those of Developer’s employees and contractors, or those of faculty and staff if Developer is an educational institution, who have a need to know and who are bound by a written agreement that prohibits unauthorized use or disclosure of the Apple Confidential Information; or (ii) except as otherwise agreed or permitted in writing by Apple. Developer may disclose Apple Confidential Information to the extent required by law, provided that Developer take reasonable steps to notify Apple of such requirement before disclosing the Apple Confidential Information and to obtain protective treatment of the Apple Confidential Information. Developer acknowledges that damages for improper disclosure of Apple Confidential Information may be irreparable; therefore, Apple is entitled to seek equitable relief, including injunction and preliminary injunction, in addition to all other remedies. Apple works with many application and software developers and some of their products may be similar to or compete with Developer applications. Apple may also be developing its own similar or competing applications and products or may decide to do so in the future. To avoid potential misunderstandings, Apple cannot agree, and expressly disclaims, any confidentiality obligations or use restrictions, express or implied, with respect to any information that Developer may provide in connection with this Agreement or the Program, including information about Developer’s application and metadata (such disclosures will be referred to as “Licensee Disclosures”). You agree that any such Licensee Disclosures will be non-confidential. Apple will be free to use and disclose any Licensee Disclosures on an unrestricted basis without notifying or compensating Developer. Developer releases Apple from all liability and obligations that may arise from the receipt, review, use, or disclosure of any portion of any Licensee Disclosures. Any physical materials Developer submits to Apple will become Apple property and Apple will have no obligation to return those materials to Developer or to certify their destruction.
