1. Recitals

The following terms and conditions (“Publisher Terms and Conditions”) govern the placement and delivery of advertising (“Ad”) as set forth in the Insertion Order signed by the Publisher, in relation to advertisers (“Advertiser”) and/or their associated agencies (“Agency”).

​

The Publisher Terms and Conditions and any associated Insertion Order or Insertion Orders are collectively referred to herein as the “Publisher Agreement”.

​

This Agreement is entered into by and between Rockabox Media Ltd, trading as Scoota, a company incorporated in England and Wales with registered number 06475602 and whose registered office is 52 Grosvenor Gardens, London, SW1W 0DH (“Scoota”) and the company named as the Publisher in the Insertion Order (“Publisher”).

​

2. Invoices
 

Invoices will be sent by Scoota at such times as provided in the Insertion Order, or otherwise from time to time according to Scoota’s normal billing procedures. Creative and production charges relating to the creation of campaigns within Scoota’s proprietary video format (“Shutters”) and other formats will be invoiced at the earlier of completion of the work (when approved by the Publisher and/or the Advertiser) and the start date of the campaign. Creative and production work undertaken by Scoota will be agreed between the Publisher, the Advertiser (and/or its Agency) and Scoota before the work commences. The minimum Ad serving charge will be invoiced at the same time as the creative and production costs. Any additional impressions over and above the minimum charge will be invoiced monthly with then a final invoice at the end of the Campaign. The Publisher shall be obliged to sign a monthly Insertion Order if it intends for the campaign to run over and above the number of Impressions agreed on the initial Insertion Order.

​

Invoices will be sent to the billing address of the Publisher, as applicable and as set forth in the Insertion Order. Failure by Scoota for whatever reason to send a timely invoice will not affect Publisher’s obligation to pay for any Ads placed in accordance with the Insertion Order.

​​

3. Terms of Payment
 

Payment is due within thirty (30) calendar days following the date of invoice, unless Scoota expressly agrees otherwise in the Insertion Order. Payment not made within five (5) business days of the due date shall accrue interest at the rate of 6% above the Bank of England Base Rate applicable at the time, per annum. All costs of collection, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, incurred by Scoota shall be borne by the Publisher. The Publisher shall pay all applicable sales taxes (VAT) which Scoota must apply to its invoices.

​

4. Payment Liability

​

Credit terms will be granted subject to Publisher’s credit status based on information from reputable credit agencies. If Publisher’s credit is or becomes impaired, Scoota may require payment in advance.

 

5. Delivery of Advertising Materials

Unless otherwise requested and agreed between the parties, the Publisher will, at its sole cost and expense, deliver or procure that the Advertiser and/or its Agency shall deliver all video, rich creative and/or other advertising materials required for any Ad (“Advertising Materials”) according to technical specifications provided by Scoota.

​

The Publisher may delegate such obligations to any Agency listed on the Insertion Order, but shall remain responsible for the Advertising Materials delivered. If the delivered Advertising Materials do not conform to Scoota ’s technical specifications or do not arrive timely enough to deliver the Ad on any agreed dates according to the Insertion Order, then Scoota, in its sole discretion, may: (a) reject such Ad and refund any applicable amounts paid in advance; or (b) postpone running such Ad until a reasonable period of time after (i) the non-conforming Advertising Materials are corrected, or (ii) the late-arriving Advertising Materials are received; in any case, Scoota may begin to charge the Publisher on the Insertion Order start date on a pro rata basis based on the full Insertion Order for each full day the Advertising Materials are not received.

 

6. Publisher Representations and Warranties

​
