All existing and new ad types made available through the Programme shall be subject to this Agreement and Google shall use reasonable endeavours to make such ads available on such media and in such manner as more particularly detailed in: (i) the online advertising system; (ii) the Policies, or (iii) such other document as determined by Google. 2.3 Google does not guarantee: (i) the placement, positioning or the timing of delivery of any ad, or (ii) the number (if any) of any impressions, publications, conversions or clicks on any ad whether on any Partner Property or Google Property or sections of such properties. 3. Costs incurred and Creatives and positioning 3.1 Customer shall submit Creatives for all ad types in accordance with such due date as may be set out in the online advertising system or as otherwise communicated by Google. 3.2 Unless otherwise agreed in writing by Google: (i) the positioning of ads on a Google Property or any Partner Property (if applicable) is at Google's and/or Partner's sole discretion respectively; and (ii) Google may offer the same Target to more than one Customer. 3.3 If Customer asks Google to carry out the posting or modification of a campaign or any element of the campaign (including without limitation through an authorisation for Google to optimise campaigns generally), any such posting or modification carried out by Google shall be deemed approved by Customer from the earlier of: (i) confirmation from Customer, and (ii) the end of the 5th working day following the posting or modification carried out by Google.

In addition, Google may at any time modify ads to the extent reasonably required to comply with the technical specifications and/or policies related to any Google Property or any Partner Property, or as described in the Policies. Any other modification to ads shall only be made by Google: (i) in accordance with clause 3.3, or (ii) following Customer authorization, which may be given by Customer in various ways including without limitation by not exercising opt-out rights (e.g., for user interface or ad quality experiments). 3.7 Customer grants Google permission to use an automated programme to retrieve and analyze websites associated with the Advertiser Services to enable Google to evaluate ad quality and for ad serving purposes. Customer may expressly opt out of such evaluation in the manner specified by Google. 4. Partner Properties. Even if Customer's ad(s) are placed on Partner Properties, Customer agrees to direct to Google any communication regarding Customer's ad(s) on any Partner Property(ies). If Customer's ads are placed on Partner Properties, Customer acknowledges and agrees that the placement of such ads shall provide Partner(s) with access to the content of ads, including (without limitation) any images and any URL(s), any contact or other information that can be obtained through such URL(s), as well as data regarding queries or clicks. 5. Ad Serving 5.1 Customer will not breach or circumvent any Programme security measure or knowingly provide ads containing malware, spyware or any other malicious code. 5.2 Customer may use a 3PAS solely for serving or tracking ads under Programmes that permit third party ad serving, and only if the 3PAS has been authorised by Google to participate in the Programme. Google will implement Customer's 3PAS tags so that they are materially functional. If for a Display Ad campaign, Google's IC is higher than the IC of Customer's 3PAS IC by more than 10% over the invoice period, Customer will facilitate reconciliation efforts between Google and 3PAS. If this discrepancy is not resolved and Customer has made a claim within the Claim Period then: (i) Google will issue to Customer advertising credits equal to 90% of (Google IC - 3PAS IC) multiplied by Google-reported campaign average CPM over the invoice period (the "Discrepancy Credit"); and (ii) Google may suspend Customer's permission to use the 3PAS and Customer shall not be entitled to any Discrepancy Credit during such suspension period. Metrics from the 3PAS whose ad server tags are provided to Google will be used in the calculation of Discrepancy Credits. If requested by Google, Customer shall procure that discrepancy records be provided directly by the 3PAS to Google. Customer will not be credited for discrepancies in IC caused by 3PAS' inability to serve ads. This clause sets out Customer's sole and exclusive remedy. 6. Ad cancellation 6.1 Unless the Policies or a Front Page (if any) or other online interface referencing these Terms provides otherwise, either party may cancel any ad at any time before the earlier of ad auction or placement. Customer may cancel advertising online through Customer's account if online cancellation functionality is available, or, if not available, with prior written notice to Google, including without limitation e-mail. 6.2 Ads which form part of the AdWords Programme and which are cancelled online will stop serving shortly after cancellation. Any other cancelled ads may be published despite cancellation if cancellation of those ads occurs after any applicable commitment date as notified in advance to Customer by the Partner or Google, and Customer shall pay Google for such published ads and any

applicable cancellation fee. If Customer fails to submit the Creative for a reservation based ad by any applicable date as notified in advance to Customer, Customer shall be liable to pay Google: (i) for the ad as if such ad had been published, or (ii) an applicable cancellation fee. 7. Prohibited uses. Customer shall not, and shall not allow any third party to: (i) generate automated, fraudulent or otherwise invalid impressions, inquiries or clicks or conceal conversions by using methods including but not limited to the use of robots or other automated query tools and/or computer generated search requests, and/or the fraudulent use of other search engine optimisation services and/or software; (ii) use any automated means, form of scraping or other such data extraction methods to access, query or otherwise collect and use Google advertising related information from any Google Property unless expressly permitted by Google in writing; (iii) advertise substances, services, products or materials which contravene applicable laws and regulations in any country in which Customer's ads are displayed, placed or otherwise made available; (iv) violate any technical specifications posted on any Google Property, and/or the Policies, as revised from time to time; (v) engage in any other illegal or fraudulent business practice under the laws of any state or country where an ad is made available. 8. Payment, pricing and reporting. If required, Customer shall, in the Front Page (if any) or in the online advertising system specify a maximum amount of money it wishes to spend on ads (the "Agreement Budget"). By indicating an Agreement Budget, Customer is not committing to spend the Agreement Budget. Customer is merely notifying Google that it does not wish to exceed the Agreement Budget. Customer is and shall remain solely liable to pay sums incurred up to the amount of the Agreement Budget only. If applicable, Customer will not exceed its aggregate credit line as determined by Google in its sole discretion (and made available if requested) and Google shall not be obliged to deliver any ads in excess of such credit line. Google reserves the right to change or retract any credit line at any time in its sole discretion. Customer shall pay (or procure that the applicable third party pays) Google in accordance with the pricing model applicable to the type of ads selected by Customer. Google and Customer shall mutually agree the method of payment and record the agreed method either in the Front Page (if any) or in the online advertising system. All sums stated in this Agreement are exclusive of VAT unless stated otherwise. Customer shall pay the sums (including, if applicable, VAT and any other applicable taxes or charges imposed by any government entity) in the manner dictated by the method of payment agreed between the parties. If payment is not made when due, Google may charge interest at the rate of 2% per annum above the prevailing base rate of Barclays Bank PLC from the due date until the date of actual payment, whether before or after judgment. Google may change its minimum pricing, if applicable, at any time. Charges shall be calculated solely based on records maintained by Google. Google shall provide Customer with password-protected access to 24/7 online reporting information so that Customer may monitor its campaign(s). Refunds (if any) are at the discretion of Google and only in the form of advertising credit for Google Properties or (in the case where Customer has pre-paid), cash. 9. Display Ad remedy. For reservation-based Display Ads Google will deliver any agreed upon aggregate number of Display Ads by the end of the campaign. If Google fails to do so, then provided Customer makes a claim during the Claim Period, Google will not charge for the undelivered Display Ads or, if Customer has already paid then at Google's reasonable discretion, Google will provide: (i) advertising credits, (ii) later placement of the Display Ads in a position Google deems comparable or (iii) an extension of the term of the campaign. This clause sets out Customer's sole and exclusive remedy. 10. Representations and warranties 10.1 Customer represents and warrants that (i) all of the information provided by Customer to Google is complete, correct and current; (ii) it has all necessary rights to permit and hereby grants Google and

any Partners all such rights which are necessary for Google and any Partner(s) to (as applicable) use, host, cache, route, store, copy, modify, distribute, reformat, reproduce, publish, display, transmit and distribute Customer's ad(s) (including any Targets and all Creatives) ("Ad Use"); and (iii) Ad Use in accordance with this Agreement and the websites and/or landing pages linked from Customer ads (including without limitation related Advertiser Services) shall not: (a) violate or encourage violation of any law or applicable regulation or code of practice (including without limitations the CAP Code in the UK and any equivalent advertising standards code of practice in any other jurisdiction); (b) infringe any intellectual property rights of any third party or contain any material which may be harmful, abusive, obscene, threatening or defamatory. 10.2 Each party waives its rights against the other in respect of warranties and representations (whether written or oral) not expressly set out or referred to in this Agreement. Nothing in this clause limits or excludes either party's liability for fraud. 11. Indemnity. Customer shall indemnify and defend Google, its agents, affiliates, directors, officers, employees and Partners ("Google Indemnified Persons") from and against any claims, losses, liabilities, expenses, damages and settlement amounts (including legal fees and costs) incurred by any Google Indemnified Person(s) arising out of Customer's breach of clauses 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 7 and/or 10 of these Terms. These indemnification obligations shall exist only if Google: (i) promptly notifies the Customer of any claim; (ii) provides Customer with reasonable information and cooperation in defending the claim; and (iii) gives Customer full control and sole authority over the defence and settlement of such claim. The Google Indemnified Persons may join in the defence with counsel of its choice at its or their own expense. 12.
