(Dynamic Ad Insertion & Programmatic Marketplace Participation)
This Addendum ("Addendum") supplements the FlightCast Terms of Service or other agreement between FlightCast, Inc. ("FlightCast") and the undersigned Publisher (together, the "Agreement"). Capitalized terms not defined here have the meanings in the Agreement.
1.1 Program. Publisher opts into FlightCast's Ad Monetization Program, which includes dynamic ad insertion and participation in one or more programmatic marketplaces operated by FlightCast or its third‑party partners (the "Program").
1.2 Non‑Exclusive. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, this Addendum is non‑exclusive. Publisher may run other monetization strategies, provided they do not impair delivery under this Addendum.
1.3 Right to Represent. For inventory Publisher designates as monetizable in FlightCast, FlightCast may market, sell, serve, and collect for ads in that inventory, directly or via partners.
2.1 Ad Markers & Breaks. Publisher will place accurate pre‑roll, mid‑roll, and/or post‑roll ad markers in episodes and keep markers updated. FlightCast (or partners) may automatically insert ad breaks consistent with industry practice.
2.2 User‑Initiated Playback. Inventory must play only in user‑initiated listening environments (no auto‑play/preload that inflates impressions).
2.3 Brand Safety & Category Controls. FlightCast may offer category and/or advertiser blocking features. Publisher acknowledges such controls are commercially reasonable efforts, not guarantees.
2.4 Content Standards. Publisher content must comply with applicable law, FlightCast policies, and industry ad policies (e.g., no invalid traffic, no incentivized clicks/listens, no prohibited content).
2.5 ads.txt / app‑ads.txt. Where applicable, Publisher will maintain accurate ads.txt/app‑ads.txt entries reflecting FlightCast or designated selling partners.
3.1 IAB Compliance. Where feasible, measurement will follow the IAB Podcast Measurement Technical Guidelines (v2.1 or successor).
3.2 Statements. FlightCast will provide monthly statements showing impressions, revenue calculation, and any adjustments.
3.3 Self‑Billing. Where permitted, Publisher authorizes FlightCast to self‑bill and issue statements on Publisher's behalf.
4.1 Net Revenue. "Net Revenue" means amounts actually collected by FlightCast from buyers for ads delivered in Publisher's inventory minus third‑party marketplace, ad serving, data, and transaction fees, chargebacks, refunds, and taxes (excluding FlightCast's income taxes).
4.2 Publisher Share. Currently, the Publisher Share is 90% of Net Revenue. Publisher receives all Net Revenue from ads served in their inventory, and FlightCast takes no platform fee or commission.
FlightCast reserves the right to introduce a platform fee in the future, whereby FlightCast may retain up to 10% of Net Revenue from programmatic marketplace ads as a platform fee, with Publisher receiving the remaining 90% or more. Any such platform fee would be introduced with advance notice to Publisher and would apply only to new campaigns or with Publisher's consent for existing campaigns.
4.3 Invalid Traffic. FlightCast may withhold/offset amounts tied to invalid traffic/fraud or non‑compliant content, or to reconcile buyer disputes.
5.1 Threshold & Currency. FlightCast pays Publisher when accrued Publisher Share amounts exceed US$100 (the "Minimum Payout") in USD (unless otherwise specified). Amounts under the Minimum Payout roll over to subsequent months.
5.2 Method. Payments via ACH (preferred), Wise, or PayPal to the account on file. Publisher is responsible for any recipient fees charged by its bank/processor.
5.3 Taxes. Publisher must provide W‑9/W‑8 tax forms as applicable. FlightCast may withhold taxes where required by law.
5.4 Payment Timing (Net 150 EOM, Pay‑When‑Paid). FlightCast will remit the Publisher Share actually collected within five (5) business days after the later of: (a) one hundred fifty (150) days following the last day of the month in which impressions were delivered (Net 150 EOM), and (b) Publisher's satisfaction of payout conditions (completed tax forms, valid payment details on file, Minimum Payout threshold met).
Collections received from buyers after the Net 150 deadline are remitted in the following monthly payment cycle(s). Payment timing is "pay-when-paid," meaning FlightCast remits amounts only after they have been actually collected from advertisers.
5.5 Set‑Off & True‑Up. FlightCast may offset overpayments, chargebacks, or buyer reconciliations against future payouts or invoice Publisher for reimbursement, payable within 30 days.
5.6 Dormant/Unclaimed Funds. If FlightCast cannot pay Publisher due to missing tax/financial info or returned payments, FlightCast may suspend payments until corrected; prolonged unclaimed funds may be handled per escheat/unclaimed property laws.
6.1 Ad Quality/Compliance. Ads may be host‑read or pre‑recorded programmatic. FlightCast may reject ads that don't meet technical, legal, or quality standards.
6.2 Make‑Goods. If under‑delivery occurs due to FlightCast systems, FlightCast may provide make‑goods or pro‑rata revenue adjustments.
7.1 Term. This Addendum is effective upon execution and continues until terminated per the Agreement.
7.2 Opt‑Out. Publisher can disable monetization for specific shows/episodes or categories where FlightCast provides controls, subject to campaign commitments already accepted.
7.3 Suspension. FlightCast may suspend monetization for policy violations, invalid traffic, or legal risk.
Publisher represents that it owns or controls the right to monetize the inventory; that its privacy policy discloses third‑party ad tech; and that it will comply with COPPA, data protection laws, and platform rules.
This Addendum is governed by the Agreement's governing‑law and dispute terms. In case of conflict, this Addendum controls. The parties may execute electronically.
