    5. PAYMENT AND REPORTING. (For HuskersToday.com, Section 20 HUSKERSTODAY.COM – PAYMENT AND REPORTING will apply instead of Sections 6.a.-6.g.; Sections 6.h. and 6.i. apply to all HuskersToday.com Programs)

    a. Basis for payment. You agree to pay HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA the charges due for your participation in the HuskersToday.com Program, which HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA will compute according to its standard methodology then in effect. The reports available to You on the HuskersToday.com Site will calculate the charges You owe according to the standard methodology. The reports will be the exclusive standard for billing. It is Your responsibility to review, print and save a copy of each online report and to retain copies for Your records. You may authorize a third party to pay Your HuskersToday.com Account on Your behalf, but You are responsible for any payment obligations arising out of Your participation in the HuskersToday.com Program. You may elect to participate in the HuskersToday.com Program on a Prepay or Postpay basis.

    b. Postpay Calculation. If You participate in the HuskersToday.com Program on a postpay basis, You will have the choice between monthly invoice billing and threshold billing. If You elected monthly invoice billing, subject to credit approval, HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA will send You an invoice at the end of Your billing cycle for the amount due, with payment due on the due date in the invoice. If You elected threshold billing, HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA will charge your HuskersToday.com Account whenever You reach Your billing threshold amount or on Your monthly billing date, whichever comes first. You authorize HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA to automatically charge Your payment method for the balance due upon reaching threshold amount, or the end of Your billing cycle, whichever occurs first.

    c. Prepay Calculation. If You elect to participate in the HuskersToday.com Program on a prepaid basis, You agree to pay HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA a specified amount prior to initiating an advertising campaign(s). You will be asked to set the amount to be charged during creation of a new account or advertising campaign. You may change the prepaid amount to be charged at any time via the HuskersToday.com Site. However, You may be subject to certain minimum and maximum charge requirements depending on Your location, currency, or payment method, among other things. You will be notified when Your prepaid account reaches a minimum balance threshold, at which time You must make a payment to replenish Your prepaid account, or, if You have elected automatic payments, You authorize us to charge Your payment method to replenish Your prepaid account.

    d. Payment Method Selection; Payment Information. You will select an available payment program (i.e., prepaid or postpay) when You enroll in the HuskersToday.com Program. You will provide to HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA all payment information (e.g., credit card, debit or check card number) required for such payment program. You represent and warrant to HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA that You are authorized to use the payment method(s) provided to HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA, and that all payment information that You provide to HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA, including Your card account number, billing address and card expiration date, is true and accurate, and You agree that You will promptly update HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA with any changes to such payment information. Your use of the HuskersToday.com Program constitutes Your authorization for HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA to charge Your payment method for any prepaid amounts or any amounts incurred in connection with the HuskersToday.com Program. HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA may submit such charges for payment utilizing the payment information that You supplied and You will pay any such charges. You further authorize HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA to use any updated account information regarding Your payment method provided by Your issuing bank or the applicable payment network.

    e. Payment Frequency. If You elect automatic payment, You authorize HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA to charge Your payment method on an ongoing basis for incurred fees (if any) for postpay accounts, or to replenish Your prepaid account, in accordance with the applicable payment program. HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA will suspend the display of Your Advertisements (i) for the remainder of any calendar month once an applicable monthly budget is reached, (ii) if You fail to pay Your invoice by the stated invoice due date, (iii) if Your payment method is rejected (e.g., expired card, insufficient funds), or (iv) on the end date You specify in Your HuskersToday.com Account. For the avoidance of doubt, HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA may resume displaying Your Advertisements on the first day of each subsequent calendar month if You do not specify an end date in Your HuskersToday.com Account.

    f. Revocation of Payment Method. You may revoke at any time Your authorization for HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA to automatically charge Your payment method for ongoing fees or other charges by suspending the applicable campaign(s) via the applicable HuskersToday.com Site, which will be effective no later than the end of the second business day after You suspend a particular campaign. You acknowledge that any revocation of such authorization may require the removal of Your Content from . You further acknowledge that (i) You remain responsible for all fees incurred through the end of the second business day following the date on which You revoke Your authorization, (ii) HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA may charge Your payment method for any unpaid amounts at the end of the billing period following the date on which You revoke Your authorization, and (iii) HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA will refund any amounts remaining in Your prepaid account balance, subject to application of such funds to any outstanding amounts due by You.

    g. Default; Billing Disputes. If You are in default of Your obligations, HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA may immediately charge Your payment method for any other amounts owing (e.g., amounts owing on other accounts or campaigns), remove Your Content or any part thereof from , and terminate this agreement in addition to any other rights or remedies HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA may have. Removal of the Advertisements will not relieve You of Your obligation to pay fees owing to HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA that accrue prior to such removal. You understand that third parties may generate impressions or clicks on Your Advertisements for prohibited or improper purposes, and You accept the risk and related fees of any such impressions and clicks. You must notify HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA in writing of any disputed amount within 45 days following the date of an invoice or charge to Your payment method, whichever occurs first, or Your dispute will be waived. You may dispute only amounts You believe resulted from a billing error or fees You did not agree to pay. Following receipt by HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA of such written notice, HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA will research such inquiry and will notify You of a resolution within a reasonable time, subject to applicable law. HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA will resolve such inquiry at its sole discretion, and HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA has no obligation to provide a particular remedy to You. Any remedy HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA provides will be Your sole and exclusive remedy for such dispute. If You fail to provide HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA with timely written notice of the disputed invoice or charge, You remain obligated to pay the full invoiced amount. If HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA does not resolve the dispute to Your satisfaction and You wish to pursue it, You must follow the dispute resolution process in Section 11.

    h. Taxes. Fees do not include any federal, state, local, municipal, or other governmental taxes, duties, levies, fees, excises, or tariffs. Neither of us is liable for any of the taxes of the other party that the other party is legally obligated to pay and which are incurred or arise in connection with or related to the transactions contemplated under this agreement, and all such taxes (including but not limited to net income or gross receipts taxes, franchise taxes, property taxes, and/or taxes arising from sales between a party and its subscribers or customers) will be the financial responsibility of the party who is obligated by operation of law to pay such tax. You will pay HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA any sales, use or value added taxes that are owed by You solely as a result of entering into this agreement and which are required to be collected under applicable law. HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA may provide You with a valid exemption certificate in which case You will not collect the taxes covered by such certificate. You agree to indemnify, defend and hold HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA and its Affiliates harmless from any taxes (including sales or use taxes) or claims, causes of action, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) and any other liabilities of any nature whatsoever related to Your taxes. If any taxes are required to be withheld on payments made by You to HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA, You may deduct such taxes from the amount otherwise owed and pay them to the appropriate taxing authority. You will secure and deliver to HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA an official receipt for those withholdings and other documents reasonably requested by HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA in order to claim a foreign tax credit or refund. You will use reasonable efforts to ensure that any taxes withheld are minimized to the extent possible under applicable law. If You are located in Argentina and if the stamp tax is deemed applicable, for the avoidance of doubt, You will pay the corresponding stamp tax related to this agreement and then HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA will reimburse You the amount You paid for the stamp tax. After the stamp tax has been paid, You will submit to HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA a copy of the acknowledgement of the payment made. If You are located in Australia or New Zealand, the fees are exclusive of goods and services tax, value added tax, sales, or like taxes (‘GST’). If GST is applicable to any transactions made under this agreement, in addition to the fees, You will pay an additional amount to HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA equal to the GST for which HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA is liable in respect of the transaction. If you are located in Brazil, the parties are not liable for any of the taxes of the other party that the other party is legally obligated to pay and which are incurred or arise in connection with or related to the transactions contemplated under this agreement, and all such taxes (including but not limited to net income or gross receipts taxes, franchise taxes, property taxes, and/or taxes arising from sales between a party and its subscribers or customers) shall be the financial responsibility of the party who is obligated by operation of law to pay such tax.

    i. Change in HuskersToday.com Pricing. HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA may, from time to time, change applicable HuskersToday.com price(s), including but not limited to the minimum cost of Advertisements, but HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA will notify You before we do. Your continued use of HuskersToday.com following notice of any price change will constitute Your acceptance of such price change(s) and Your authorization for HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA to continue charging Your payment method for any prepaid amounts or any amounts incurred in connection with the HuskersToday.com Program. If You do not agree to such price changes, then You must revoke Your payment authorization and/or cancel Your HuskersToday.com Account or campaign within 30 days, subject to the terms of revocation and cancellation set forth in this agreement.

These disclosures may be made only on a need-to-know basis, subject to the obligations of this Section. Each of us may disclose the other’s Confidential Information if required to comply with a court order or other government demand that has the force of law.

YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF THE HUSKERSTODAY.COM PROGRAM, THE HUSKERSTODAY.COM SITE, THE API, AND ANY ASSOCIATED PRODUCTS OR SERVICES (INCLUDING THE SUPPLEMENTAL PROGRAMS SET FORTH IN SECTION 8(b) ABOVE) IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN, THE HUSKERSTODAY.COM PROGRAM, THE HUSKERSTODAY.COM SITE, AND ANY ASSOCIATED PRODUCTS OR SERVICES AND ANY MATERIALS OR OTHER SERVICES PROVIDED BY OR ON BEHALF OF HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS,” “WITH ALL FAULTS,” AND “AS AVAILABLE”; AND ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT (EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, AND INCLUDING ANY REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF PRODUCT LIABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, AND WORKMANLIKE EFFORT) ARE EXCLUDED, INCLUDING REPRESENTATIONS AS TO THE QUALITY OF THE HUSKERSTODAY.COM PROGRAM, THE HUSKERSTODAY.COM SITE, THE API, OR ANY ASSOCIATED PRODUCTS OR SERVICES, THE EFFECT THE ADVERTISEMENTS MAY HAVE ON YOUR BUSINESS AND THE OPERABILITY OF ANY TOOLS USED BY ADVERTISER OR YOUR AGENCY TO ACCESS SUCH PARTY’S HUSKERSTODAY.COM ACCOUNT. HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA IS NOT LIABLE TO YOU FOR (AND YOU WILL NOT SEEK) ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR OTHER INDIRECT DAMAGES (INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF DATA OR PROFITS), FORESEEABLE OR UNFORESEEABLE, ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT REGARDLESS OF WHETHER LIABILITY IS BASED ON BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF YOU HAVE BEEN ADVISED THE DAMAGES ARE POSSIBLE. HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES IN EXCESS OF AMOUNTS ACTUALLY PAID TO HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA HEREUNDER.

    11. BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER IF YOUR PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS IS IN THE UNITED STATES. This section applies to any dispute EXCEPT DISPUTES RELATING TO THE ENFORCEMENT OR VALIDITY OF YOUR, HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA’S, OR EITHER OF OUR LICENSORS’ INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS. The term “dispute” means any dispute, action, or other controversy between You and HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA concerning the HuskersToday.com Program or services (including their price), the HuskersToday.com Site, the API, or this agreement, whether in contract, warranty, tort, statute, regulation, ordinance, or any other legal or equitable basis. “Dispute” will be given the broadest possible meaning allowable under law.

    a. Notice of Dispute. In the event of a dispute, You or HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA must give the other a Notice of Dispute, which is a written statement that sets forth the name, address and contact information of the party giving it, the facts giving rise to the dispute, and the relief requested. You must send any Notice of Dispute by U.S. Mail to HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA LLC, PO BOX 6171 OMAHA, NE 68106. HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA will send any Notice of Dispute to You by U.S. Mail to your address if we have it, or otherwise to Your email address. You and HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA will attempt to resolve any dispute through informal negotiation within 60 days from the date the Notice of Dispute is sent. After 60 days, You or HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA may commence arbitration.

    b. Small Claims Court. You may also litigate any dispute in small claims court in the county of Your principal place of business or Douglas  County, Nebraska, if the dispute meets all requirements to be heard in the small claims court. You may litigate in small claims court whether or not You negotiated informally first.

    c. Binding Arbitration. If You and HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA do not resolve any dispute by informal negotiation or in small claims court, any other effort to resolve the dispute will be conducted exclusively by individual binding arbitration governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”). Class arbitrations are not permitted. You are giving up the right to litigate disputes in court before a judge or jury (or participate in court as a party or class member). Instead, all disputes will be resolved before a neutral arbitrator, whose decision will be final except for a limited right of appeal under the FAA. Any court with jurisdiction over the parties may enforce the arbitrator’s award.

    d. Class Action Waiver. Any proceedings to resolve or litigate any dispute in any forum will be conducted solely on an individual basis. Neither You nor HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA will seek to have any dispute heard as a class action, private attorney general action, or in any other proceeding in which either party acts or proposes to act in a representative capacity. No arbitration or other proceeding will be combined with another without the prior written consent of all parties to all affected arbitrations or proceedings.

    e. Arbitration Procedure. Any arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules. If you are an individual and use the services for personal or household use, or if the value of the dispute is $75,000 or less whether or not You are an individual or how You use the services, its Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes will also apply.

  2. Arbitration Procedure, Costs, Fees, and Payments.

    i. Disputes Involving $75,000 or Less. HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA will promptly reimburse Your filing fees and pay the AAA’s and arbitrator’s fees and expenses. If You reject HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA’s last written settlement offer made before the arbitrator was appointed (“HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA’s last written offer”), Your dispute goes all the way to an arbitrator’s decision (called an “award”), and the arbitrator awards You more than HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA’s last written offer, HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA will: (i) pay You the greater of the award or $1,000; (ii) pay twice Your reasonable attorney’s fees, if any; and (iii) reimburse any expenses (including expert witness fees and costs) that Your attorney reasonably accrues for investigating, preparing, and pursuing Your claim in arbitration. The arbitrator will determine the amount of fees, costs, and expenses unless You and HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA agree on them.

    ii. Disputes Involving More Than $75,000. The AAA rules will govern payment of filing fees and the AAA’s and arbitrator’s fees and expenses.

    iii. Disputes Involving Any Amount. In any arbitration You commence, HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA will seek its AAA or arbitrator’s fees and expenses, or Your filing fees it reimbursed, only if the arbitrator finds the arbitration frivolous or brought for an improper purpose. In any arbitration HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA commences, HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA will pay all filing, AAA, and arbitrator’s fees and expenses. HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA will not seek its attorney’s fees or expenses from You in any arbitration. Fees and expenses are not counted in determining how much a dispute involves.

    g. Conflict with AAA Rules. This agreement governs to the extent it conflicts with the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules and Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes.

    h. Claims or Disputes Must Be Filed Within One Year. To the extent permitted by law, any claim or dispute under this agreement must be filed within one year in small claims court (Section 11.b), in an arbitration proceeding (Section 11.c), or in court if Section 11 permits the dispute to be filed in court instead of arbitration. The one-year period begins when the claim or Notice of Dispute first could be filed. If a claim or dispute is not filed within one year, it is permanently barred.

    i. Rejecting Future Arbitration Changes. You may reject any change HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA makes to Section 11 (other than address changes) by sending us notice within 30 days of the change by U.S. Mail to the address in Section 11.a. If you do, the most recent version of Section 11 before the change You rejected will apply.

    j. Severability. If the class action waiver in Section 11.d is found to be illegal or unenforceable as to all or some parts of a dispute, then Section 11 will not apply to those parts. Instead, those parts will be severed and proceed in a court of law, with the remaining parts proceeding in arbitration. If any other provision of Section 11 is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that provision will be severed with the remainder of Section 11 remaining in full force and effect.

    k. Third-Party Beneficiaries. Affiliates of HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA are not parties to this agreement but are third-party beneficiaries of Your and HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA’s agreement to resolve disputes through informal negotiation and arbitration. In certain countries other than the United States, Affiliates of HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA will also have powers to issue invoices under this agreement and collect payments from You, including, without limitation, in court procedures. If Your dispute is with an Affiliate of HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA, such Affiliate agrees to do everything HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA agrees to do in Section 11, and You agree to do everything regarding the Affiliate that Section 11 requires You to do regarding HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA. For purposes of Section 11.k, “Affiliate” means any legal entity that a party owns, that owns a party, or that is under its common ownership. “Ownership” means, for purposes of this definition, control of more than a 50% interest in an entity.

    12. TERMINATION. If You are dissatisfied with any aspect of the HuskersToday.com Program, Your sole and exclusive remedy is to cease participating in the HuskersToday.com Program and terminate this agreement upon written notice to HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA. You or HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA may terminate this agreement and Your participation in any HuskersToday.com Program (including Your API access and API Credentials), at any time, for any reason or for no reason. Notwithstanding anything contained in this agreement to the contrary, HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA may, at its sole discretion, terminate or suspend Your account, and/or discontinue or suspend Your participation in all or part of any HuskersToday.com Program. Reasons for a HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA determination to terminate, suspend or discontinue Your account or participation may include, without limitation, HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA’s determination that You have violated this agreement or HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA’s other rules or guidelines applicable to the HuskersToday.com Program, HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA’s belief that Your conduct may be harmful to users or other advertisers, or HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA’s determination at its discretion that Your conduct is unlawful or likely to create legal liability for HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA. All such decisions made by HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA will be final and HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA will have no liability regarding such decisions. Upon termination, suspension or discontinuation of any HuskersToday.com Program or Your participation therein: (a) all outstanding payment obligations incurred under such HuskersToday.com Program will become immediately due and payable; (b) any amounts remaining in Your prepaid account balance will be refunded, subject to application of such funds to any outstanding amounts due by You; and (c) if You are not managing account termination online through HuskersToday.com Site, You will be responsible for all fees incurred through the date HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA receives Your termination notice plus one (1) business day thereafter.

    14. GOVERNING LAW. The laws of the state or country where Your principal place of business is located govern all claims and disputes concerning this agreement, including breach of contract claims and claims under state consumer protection laws, unfair competition laws, implied warranty laws, for unjust enrichment, and in tort, except that the FAA governs all provisions relating to arbitration. If federal jurisdiction exists, HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA, Your agency (if applicable), and You consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the federal courts in Douglas County, Nebraska for all disputes arising from or related to this agreement that are heard in court (not arbitration and not small claims court).

  3. INTERPRETATION. Except as provided in Section 11.j, if an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction finds any term of this agreement unenforceable, the agreement will be deemed modified as necessary to make it enforceable, and the rest of the agreement will be fully enforced to effect the parties’ intent. Lists of examples following “including”, “e.g.,” or “for example” are interpreted to include “without limitation,” unless qualified by words such as “only” or “solely.” This agreement will be interpreted according to its plain meaning without presuming that it should favor either party. Unless stated or context requires otherwise: (1) all internal references are to this agreement and its parties; (2) all monetary amounts are expressed and, if applicable, payable, in U.S. dollars; (3) URLs are understood to also refer to successor URLs, URLs for localized content, and information or resources linked from within the websites at the specified URLs; and (4) a party’s choices under this agreement are in its sole discretion.

    16. FORCE MAJEURE. Neither of us will be liable for failure to perform any obligation under this agreement to the extent such failure is caused by a force majeure event (including acts of God, natural disasters, war, civil disturbance, action by governmental entity, strike and other causes beyond our reasonable control). The party affected by the force majeure event will provide notice to the other party within a commercially reasonable time and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to resume performance. Obligations not performed due to a force majeure event will be performed as soon as reasonably possible when the force majeure event concludes.

    17. ASSIGNMENT AND ACCOUNT TRANSFER. Neither of us may assign this agreement, or any rights or duties under it, except with the other party’s express, prior, written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA may assign this agreement to any of its Affiliates or to a third party in the ordinary course of business. HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA may transfer Your HuskersToday.com Account to a third party, regardless of whether HUSKER SPORTS MEDIA assigns this agreement to such third party and you may be required to sign a new agreement with such third party. Any attempted assignment in violation of this Section 17 is a material breach of this agreement and is null and void. Subject to the prior sentences, this agreement will bind and benefit the parties’ successors and permitted assigns.

    18. MISCELLANEOUS. Each of us is an independent contractor to the other and has no authority to act on behalf of or bind the other, and this agreement does not create any other relationship (e.g., employment, partnership, or agency). All rights and remedies under this agreement are cumulative. Each of us will pay our own costs to perform (except if expressly stated otherwise). When performing this agreement (including with regard to sharing any user data with the other party), each of us will comply with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations. Only written waivers are effective. This agreement is the parties’ entire agreement on this subject and merges and supersedes all related oral understandings, representations, prior discussions, letters of intent, or preliminary agreements. If an arbitrator or any court of competent jurisdiction determines that any provision of this agreement is illegal or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. Section 11.j says what happens if parts of Section 11 (arbitration and class action waiver) are found to be illegal or unenforceable. Section 11.j prevails over this section if inconsistent with it.
