(b) five (5) Business Days after providing Loblaw with such written notice. Client will be responsible for payment for the total number of days that Ads were executed.
4.2 Self-Service Clients. If Client manages its own account via online access, Client may be able to cancel Ad campaigns or individual line items more quickly. Client is responsible for all clicks or impressions or other cost items as defined in the Loblaw Platform actually delivered until such time as the cancellation is effective.
4.3 Ad Inventory not specifically referenced in this Section 4 is deemed non-cancellable.
5 / Charges, Fees and Payments

(a) Neither Party shall hold the other Party liable for any delay or failure to comply with any of the terms of this Agreement, other than payment obligations, to the extent such delay or failure to comply has been caused by an act of God, pandemic, force of nature, fire or other casualty, war-like activity, terrorism, insurrection or civil commotion, expropriations, quarantines, embargoes or other governmental acts or orders whether enacted or pending, utility failure, shortage of raw materials or supplies, or other similar act or event beyond the other Party’s reasonable control (each a “Force Majeure Event”).

The non-performing Party shall immediately use commercially reasonable efforts to:
(i) remove the cause of the Party’s inability to perform its obligations; and
(ii) recommence performance whenever and to the extent possible without delay.
If the Force Majeure Event continues for more than fifteen (15) calendar days and the non-performing Party is unable to perform is obligations in accordance with this Agreement, then the Parties will meet to determine the impact of the Force Majeure Event upon prices and payment terms for the Services and Deliverables hereunder.

Both Parties shall at all times remain as independent entities and are not and shall not represent themselves, their personnel, agents, representatives or subcontractors to be agents or employees of the other unless a specific written authorization to do so has been provided in advance. Neither Party shall have the authority to enter into, incur, make, change, enlarge or modify any contract, liability or agreement, obligation, representation, guarantee, warranty or commitment of any kind on behalf of the other, unless a specific written authorization to do so has been provided in advance.

15.11 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability and shall be severed from the balance of this Agreement, all without affecting the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction and appropriate amendments shall be made to this Agreement to put the Party who is disadvantaged by such invalidity or unenforceability in the same financial position as if no provision hereof were invalid or unenforceable.

If a Client purchases digital Ads (including video, display and native Ads), the following terms also apply.
1/ Policies and Specifications
Client’s Ads must comply with the then-current Loblaw Policies, which Loblaw may change from time to time.
2/ Definitions
2.1 “Non-Guaranteed” are Ads that are displayed on a space-available basis and are not guaranteed to appear. Client pays only for Non-Guaranteed Ads that are delivered, and Loblaw has no duty or obligation, express or implied, to publish, host, stream or otherwise deliver any Ads. Non-Guaranteed Ads include native, run-of-network Ads, and dynamically priced or optimized Ads.
2.2 Loblaw will bill Client for Ads with a pricing type of “dCPM” (dynamic CPM) or “oCPM” (optimized CPM) based on the actual number of impressions delivered. When Client uses a Loblaw pre-approved third-party ad server that cannot account for dynamic pricing, Loblaw will report total cost to Client so Client can determine its effective CPM.
2.3 “Guaranteed Ads” are Ads Client reserves to run on specific sites or platforms at specific times.
3/ Delivery
3.1 Loblaw will use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver impressions in the amounts and locations as specified in an IO.
3.2 At Client’s direction, Loblaw may optimize Client’s campaign by modifying the line items of an IO. Loblaw must approve in advance in writing the serving of Ads by anyone other than Loblaw.
3.3 For Ads in an IO that specify frequency caps, Loblaw will use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with such frequency caps, provided that Client agrees that Loblaw is not liable if Client’s Ads are viewed in excess of the frequency cap.
3.4 For dynamically priced campaigns, Loblaw may adjust the location of, and price for, Client’s Ads in an effort to meet Client’s target goals (e.g., cost per click “CPC” or cost per action “CPA”).
3.5 For Guaranteed Ads, if Client’s information, including any updates, is not given to Loblaw three (3) calendar days prior to its anticipated distribution or does not conform to Loblaw’s policies and specifications, Loblaw is not required to fulfill the Guaranteed Ads portion of the IO, and Client is responsible for the media purchased pursuant to the IO.
4/ Make Goods
4.1 For Guaranteed Ads, if Loblaw fails to deliver, by the end of the period specified in the IO, the aggregate number and type of impressions as agreed in the IO, or the impressions fail to appear as provided in the IO, then Client will only be billed for the impressions actually delivered under the terms of the IO, and Client’s sole and exclusive remedy is limited to the following, at Loblaw’s sole discretion:
(a) a pro rata refund of any pre-paid fees;
(b) delivery of the remaining impressions at a later time in a comparable position as determined by Loblaw; and/or
(c) an extension of the term of the IO to allow for delivery of the remaining impressions, in each case at prevailing rates.
4.2 Make goods are not available for Non-Guaranteed Ads or “Added Value” IO items.
5/ Bonus Impressions
5.1 Where Client uses a Third Party Ad Server, Loblaw will not bonus more than 10% above the Deliverables specified on the IO without Client’s prior written consent. Permanent or exclusive placements will run for the specified period of time regardless of over-delivery, unless the IO establishes an impression cap for Third Party Ad Server activity. Client will not be charged by Loblaw for any additional Deliverables above any level guaranteed or capped on the IO. If a Third Party Ad Server is being used and Client notifies Loblaw that the guaranteed or capped levels stated on the IO have been reached, Loblaw will use commercially reasonable efforts to suspend delivery and, within forty-eight (48) hours of receiving such notice, Loblaw may either:
(a) serve any additional Ads itself; or
(b) be held responsible for all applicable incremental Ad serving charges incurred by Client but only:
(i) after such notice has been provided; and
(ii) to the extent such charges are associated with over delivery by more than 10% above such guaranteed or capped levels.
5.2 Where Client does not use a Third Party Ad Server, Loblaw may bonus as many ad units as Loblaw chooses unless otherwise indicated on the IO. Client will not be charged by Loblaw for any additional Deliverables above any level guaranteed on the IO.
6/ Use of Data
6.1 Definitions
(a) “Aggregated” means a form in which data gathered under an IO is combined with data from numerous campaigns of numerous advertisers and precludes identification, directly or indirectly, of any particular advertiser.
(b) “Campaign Information” means anonymized information about the overall purpose of a campaign, and the tools employed to execute a given campaign, including but not limited to advertising channels, audience categories used, and overall purpose of the campaign.
(c) “IO Details” are details set out in an IO, including ad pricing and placement information, Ad description, and Ad targeting information;
(d) “Performance Data” is data regarding a campaign gathered during delivery of an Ad under an IO (e.g., number of impressions, interactions, and header information), but excludes Site Data;
(e) “Repurposing” means retargeting a user or appending data to a non-public profile regarding a user, for purposes other than performance of an IO; and

(iii) entered by users on any website of Loblaw or an Affiliate of Loblaw.
6.2 Unless otherwise authorized by Loblaw in writing, Client will not:
(a) use IO Details, Performance Data, or Site Data for Repurposing; provided, however, that Performance Data may be used for Repurposing so long as it is not joined with any IO Details or Site Data; or
(b) disclose Loblaw’s IO Details or Site Data, except as a Transferring Party (as defined below).
6.3 Unless Client otherwise authorizes Loblaw in writing, Loblaw will not use or disclose, on a non-Aggregated basis, Client’s IO Details, Performance Data, or a user’s recorded view or click of an Ad for Repurposing or any purpose, other than performing under an IO for client, or internal reporting or internal analysis to make continuous improvements to the Loblaw Platform, including but not limited to feature enhancements.
6.4 Notwithstanding the foregoing Section 6.3, the Client acknowledges and agrees that Loblaw may use or disclose, on an Aggregated or non-Aggregated basis, anonymized Performance Data and Campaign Information without the Client’s consent. Additionally, Client acknowledges and agrees that Loblaw may feature Client’s past or current Ads, including those containing Client Marks (as defined below), in Loblaw’s media sales marketing materials without the Client’s consent.
6.5 Unless otherwise set out in the IO, Loblaw and Client (each, a “Transferring Party”) will require any third party or Affiliate used by the Transferring Party in performance of the IO on behalf of such Transferring Party to be bound by confidentiality and non-use obligations at least as restrictive as those on the Transferring Party.
7/ Ad Targeting
Unless otherwise set out on an IO, when geographic targeting is employed, all Loblaw placements are targeted to Canada only.
8/ Flat Free Buys
Line items designated on the IO as flat-fee or fixed-price placements are sold on a cost-per-day basis (or unless otherwise specified by Loblaw in its sole discretion), regardless of the number of impressions or clicks delivered. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set out on an IO:
(a) any impression levels listed in connection with the flat-fee line are estimates only; and
(b) no make good will be made available for such impression levels.
9/ Cost per Completed View (CPCV)
All Ads set out on a line designated with the CPCV billing metric on the IO will be billed at the rate specified on the IO for each video that runs completely.

11/ Native Ad Buys
Ads delivered within the natural form and function of the user experience on the Platform (“Native Ads”) are Non-Guaranteed Ads and will be served by Loblaw, and Loblaw measurements will be used for billing purposes. At Client’s direction, Loblaw may optimize Client’s account by modifying campaigns, including changing bid price and budget type.
12/ Native Consent
12.1 The following terms will apply to any lines on the IO that refer to Client’s sponsorship of original custom content created by Loblaw or its Affiliates (“Native Content”),
(a) All Native Content sponsorships and placements on the IO pertaining to the Native Content are non-cancellable after the editorial kick-off meeting that Loblaw schedules with Client.
(b) Client will be identified as the sponsor of each piece of Native Content on Loblaw’s sites whenever a piece of Native Content is displayed.
(c) Loblaw will have creative control over all Native Content. Client shall have the right to approve final Native Content, but approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Native Content is subject to additional fees for extra rounds of editorial revisions beyond those stated in the initial timeline provided to advertiser. Total additional fees will be presented to Client before any revisions are made.
(d) Any content, data, trademarks, or other materials provided by Agency or Client (collectively, the “Client Marks”) that are incorporated into the Native Content or otherwise used on Loblaw’s sites in connection with the sponsorship are Client’s information.
(e) Loblaw (and its licensors, as applicable) shall own all right, title, and interest in and to the Native Content, with the exception of any Client Marks.

(f) In connection with the Native Content, during the term of the applicable IO, Loblaw grants to Client a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, royalty-free licence to use the Loblaw trademarks pre-approved in writing by Loblaw (“Loblaw Marks”) and Client grants to Loblaw and its Affiliates a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, sublicensable, royalty-free licence to use the Client Marks (together with the Loblaw Marks, the “Marks”); provided that each party (the “Licensee”):
(i) must adhere to brand guidelines, including with respect to trademark marking and notices, provided to Licensee by the other party (“Licensor”), and any and all laws and practices necessary to preserve Licensee’s rights in and to the Marks;
(ii) submit all proposed uses of the Marks to Licensee for prior written approval; and
(iii) refrain from using the Marks in a way that diminishes their value, compromises their validity, harms Licensor’s reputation, or dilutes Licensor’s proprietary rights or interest in the Marks.
Licensor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to approve proposed materials submitted by Licensee within ten (10) Business Days. If Licensor fails to approve such materials in writing within ten (10) Business Days, Licensor shall be deemed to have rejected the proposed use of the Marks. Once approved, use of Marks within the Native Content cannot be changed unless the Licensor agrees in writing.
(g) Licensee acknowledges and agrees that:
(i) Licensor or its Affiliates, as the case may be, own all right, title and interest in and to the Marks;
(ii) use of the Marks by Licensee will not confer any proprietary right thereto in any manner; and
