Affiliate Terms & Conditions
Pursuant to this Agreement, CX Digital Media Inc. and Publisher shall agree to the following terms and conditions for the receipt of advertising materials ("Creative") from advertising Customers ("Customers"). This includes the serving, tracking and reporting of each Campaign made on the CX Digital Media Network (the "Network") to Publisher Websites ("Websites").

DEFINITIONS:

Click-throughs ("CPC")
CX Digital Media's CPC program offers websites the opportunity to generate revenue based on the cost-per-click ("CPC") advertising model. A click is counted when a unique visitor to a Publisher's website clicks on an advertisement.

Impressions ("CPM")
CX Digital Media offers websites the ability to receive payment on a cost-per-thousand ("CPM") structure. The Publisher is paid a fractional amount when a banner is shown to a visitor. Banner views are aggregated on into groups of one thousand impressions and payments are calculated for each one thousand banners shown.

Cost Per Acquisition ("CPA")
CX Digital Media's CPA program offers websites the opportunity to generate revenue based upon customer interaction with advertisements on their website which lead to an acquisition. An acquisition is deemed complete when a customer clicks through a banner/advertisement or email solicitation and completes an action as defined by the client. The greater the amount of information requested by the client generally dictates a higher payout to the Publisher.

Cost Per lead ("CPL")
CX Digital Media's CPL program enables Publishers to add promotional features to their websites as approved by CX Digital Media, and to send data to CX Digital Media for which the Publisher will be eligible for compensation in accordance with, and subject to, this Agreement.
