Actual shipping dates shall be subject to Client’s creative signoff of the Final Marketing Creative and Custom Media Audience. Client understands, acknowledges, and agrees that actual mail quantity of any Direct Mail Campaign may vary by +/- 5% due to National Change of Address records, production spoilage, and seeded names.
- Email Campaigns
- Recipients of Emails Where a SOW or Insertion Order provides for ROR to undertake an Email Campaign, ROR will develop a Custom Media Audience for such Email Campaign by, without being all-inclusive, creating a list of prospects based upon criteria set forth in the applicable SOW or Insertion Order, or criteria otherwise reasonably developed by ROR, and match such list to email address files.
- Email Campaign Process ROR’s performance of an Email Campaign will include: (a) setting up Final Marketing Creative or Client-Provided Creative (as the case may be) in an email deployment system; (b) the provision of a test email message for Client’s review and approval (which approval Client shall not unreasonably withhold); (c) the incorporation of any reasonable modifications requested by Client to the test message; (d) confirmation that the final Email including the Final Marketing Creative or Client-Provided Creative (as the case may be) includes an “unsubscribe” mechanism; and (e) the distribution of the Emails as provided in the applicable SOW and/or Insertion Order.

ROR’s determination of the quantity of delivered Emails as part of an Email Campaign shall be the sole and definitive tool used by the Parties to measure the number of Emails sent.
- Suppression List Prior to the commencement of an Email Campaign, and thereafter on no less than a daily basis, Client shall provide to ROR a list of email addresses that may not (pursuant to Applicable Laws) be included in an Email Campaign associated with Client, including, without limitation, any email addresses that must be excluded due to an Exclusion Mechanism. Without being all-inclusive, Client shall ensure that ROR receives then-current “unsubscribe”, “opt out”, “deletion”, and “do not sell” files relating to any Email Campaign prior to the commencement of any such Email Campaign, and thereafter receives updated files no less frequently than once every twenty-four (24) hours (or any shorter timeframe as may be prescribed by Applicable Laws).
- Images ROR does not recommend the use of emailed Final Marketing Creative that is comprised solely or primarily of image files. In the event that Client elects to use this type of Final Marketing Creative or Client-Provided Creative, Client understands and agrees that ROR shall not be responsible for any blocking or other delivery issues with respect to any such Emails, and ROR shall not be required to provide any refund, reperformance, credits, or any other make-good in connected with any such blocking or other delivery issues.
- Non-Disclosure of Source Client shall not disclose to any third party that ROR (and/or ROR’s vendors and contractors) is the source or performer of any Email Campaign unless Client first obtains ROR’s written consent (which ROR may grant or deny in ROR’s absolute sole discretion). This Section 4(f)(vi) shall not prevent Client from: (A) responding to inquiries from individuals who are Email Recipients; or (B) responding to a subpoena or other specific order of a court as required by Applicable Laws. In the latter event, Client will provide written notice to ROR prior to such disclosure unless prohibited by Applicable Laws.
- Client Email Campaign Responsibilities Client shall be solely responsible for: (A) handling all inquiries and complaints of any type from Email Recipients; (B) ensuring compliance with all Applicable Laws related to Exclusion Mechanisms, including, without limitation, those related to acquiring consents to receive Emails and any “unsubscribe” or other opt-out requests related to Emails.
- Internet Service Providers Client agrees to follow any email standards and practices that are promulgated by the leading Internet Service Providers. Client acknowledges that failure to follow such practices could lead to Client being ‘blacklisted’ by such Internet Service Providers and/or other leading companies overseeing such email practices. Client further agrees that should any blacklisting of Client occur, ROR may in its absolute sole discretion suspend further Email deployment until such matter is resolved to ROR’s satisfaction. Upon Client’s request, ROR will assist Client, at ROR’s then-current hourly rates, in the correction, resolution and prevention of this type of matter. Blacklisting typically occurs due to the particular content or email list practices used by a client. The result of an Internet Service Provider blacklisting Client could impact ROR’s delivery of email for other clients and, therefore, Client agrees to temporary suspension of Email Campaigns while the matter is resolved as provided herein.
- Email Tracking Technologies Client acknowledges that the Emails may include one or more Tracking Technologies that may enable ROR to collect a user’s interactions with the Email and certain other Tracking Technologies Data.
- Retargeting

- Compliance With Applicable Laws Client shall be solely responsible for: (i) prior to ROR undertaking the Services (including, without limitation, the placement of any Tracking Technologies and/or the provision of Client Data to ROR) and/or Client making any use of any Final Marketing Creative and/or any other Deliverables, reviewing the same (and any proposed use thereof) for compliance with Applicable Laws and any privacy policies and practices of Client, and, where requested by ROR, confirming such compliance in writing in a manner reasonably satisfactory to ROR; (ii) prior to ROR commencing the performance of Services, confirming with Client’s legal counsel that the performance and Client’s use of the Services (including, without limitation, the placement of any Tracking Technologies) will be compliant with Applicable Laws and any privacy policies and practices of Client, and, where requested by ROR, confirming such compliance in writing in a manner reasonably satisfactory to ROR; (iii) prior to providing ROR with any Client Data, any Client-Provided Creative, and/or any other data or materials, obtaining and maintaining any permissions and consents from any applicable third parties (including, without limitation, consumers with respect to their personal information) to allow ROR to make use of the same in connection with the provision of the Services as such Services are described in any SOW and/or Insertion Order consistent with Applicable Laws; and (iv) to establish, keep and maintain (and, where required by Applicable Laws or otherwise appropriate, provide to ROR) any Exclusion Mechanisms and a privacy policy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any SOW, and/or any Insertion Order, in no event shall ROR be required to perform any Services (or any aspect of any Services) that ROR deems, in its absolute sole discretion, to be in violation of Applicable Laws or otherwise inappropriate and/or obscene. ROR shall have the right, in order to comply with Applicable Laws, to suspend or terminate all or any portion of any Services at any time without liability to Client except for a refund or credit of amounts previously paid for Services that have not yet been fulfilled, provided that ROR shall notify Client in writing promptly upon its decision to terminate such Services.

- Client Delays To the extent that any delay in Client’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement, any SOW, and/or any Insertion Order (including, without limitation, any failure by Client to complete a review and/or provide an approval of any portion of the Services within any timeframe specified in this Agreement, a SOW, and/or an Insertion Order) causes ROR to incur additional costs (including, without limitation, ROR’s internal labor costs) or otherwise prevents ROR from performing any Campaign in the timeframe specified in a SOW or Insertion Order, then Client understands, acknowledges, and agrees that ROR may charge Client (and Client shall pay): (i) such additional costs (including, without limitation, ROR’s then-current retail hourly rates with respect to ROR’s internal labor); and (ii) any Fee amounts ROR would have otherwise been able to charge and collect from Client if ROR were able to perform the applicable Campaign in the timeframe specified in a SOW or Insertion Order but for Client’s delay.
- Performer and Union Contract Obligations Client shall inform ROR if it is a signatory to any performer’s union (SAG-AFTRA, AFM etc.) agreement that covers the production of advertising materials. If Client is a signatory, Client shall retain sole and full responsibility for adherence to the terms, provisions and payment obligations under such agreements. Client shall be responsible for claims asserted by the union or the union’s pension and health funds for non-payment or underpayment of fees due performers in connection with the production and/or use of any materials produced or used by ROR on Client’s behalf regardless of whether such claims arise or are asserted during or after the term of any SOW.

Client represents and warrants to ROR that Client shall not use any ROR Data in connection with any government-run program, including, but not limited to, Medicare and/or Medicaid.
- No Other Warranties by ROR OTHER THAN THE WARRANTY EXPRESSLY MADE IN SECTION 9(b) ABOVE, ROR MAKES NO WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED OR ARISING OUT OF CUSTOM OR TRADE USAGE, AND SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, NON-INFRINGMENT OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES, THE ROR TOOLS, THE ROR DATA, AND/OR OTHERWISE WITH REPSECT TO ROR’S PERFORMANCE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, ANY SOW, AND/OR ANY INSERTION ORDER. ROR WILL NOT BE DEEMED TO BE IN BREACH OF ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH BREACH RESULTS FROM THE ACT OR OMISSION OF A THIRD PARTY.

- Privacy Requirements:
- Obligations of Parties under Privacy Laws For purposes of any Applicable Laws governing privacy that draws a distinction between data “controllers” and data “processors,” Client is the controller and ROR is the processor of the Client Data. For purposes of the California Consumer Privacy Act (and the California Privacy Rights Act), Client is the “business” and ROR is the “service provider.” As such, ROR will not “sell” or “share” the Client Data (as those terms are defined under such laws) except as a service provider to or agent of Client and at Client’s express instruction ROR will reasonably assist Client in its fulfillment of any consumer requests and data protection assessments and any other requirements imposed upon the Parties by Applicable Laws. ROR will only utilize Client Data pursuant to Client’s instructions.
- Privacy Notices Without limiting Client’s obligations under Section 8 above, Client shall ensure that it describes the manner in which data is being shared and used in a legally sufficient manner in its privacy policy; and shall ensure that any additional website disclosures, Exclusion Mechanism implementations and website footer links (such as those required under California or Colorado privacy laws) have been made, posted and made operational, prior to Client providing or making available any Client Data to ROR for purposes contemplated herein.
- Not Legal Advice ROR may provide recommended website or privacy policy language to Client. Client acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding any such recommendations, it shall not rely on ROR for or in lieu of legal advice. Client shall be solely responsible for ensuring that its privacy policy and website disclosures are legally sufficient and accurate. Client is solely responsible for seeking its own legal advice as to Applicable Laws and disclosure requirements
- Damage Exclusion; Liability Limit.
- Exclusion of Certain Damages ROR SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY TYPE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOST PROFITS, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS MSA, ANY SOWS, ANY INSERTION ORDERS, AND/OR THE SERVICES, EVEN IF CLIENT HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND EVEN IF CLIENT ASSERTS OR ESTABLISHES A FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY PROVIDED IN THIS MSA OR ANY SOW OR INSERTION ORDER.
- Limitation of Liability CLIENT AGREES THAT ROR’S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY AND ALL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE SERVICES OR OTHERWISE IN CONNECTION WITH THIS MSA, ANY SOWS, AND/OR ANY INSERTION ORDERS WILL IN NO EVENT EXCEED THE LESSER OF: (i) THE AGGREGATE AMOUNT OF FEES PAID TO ROR UNDER THE APPLICABLE SOW OR INSERTION ORDER DURING THE SIX (6) MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING SUCH CLAIM, EXCLUDING ANY AMOUNTS PAID ON A PASS-THROUGH BASIS; OR (ii) $50,000.
- Indemnification
- Infringement Indemnity Each Party shall indemnify, defend (at its sole cost and expense), and hold harmless the other Party, its affiliates, and its and their employees, principals (shareholders or holders of an ownership interest, as the case may be), officers, directors, and agents from and against any claims, losses, damages, costs, expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, assessments, fines, and other liabilities (collectively, “Claims”) arising out of or resulting from any third party claim that any materials provided by such Party (“Materials”) misappropriate or infringe any patent (except as specified in this provision), trademark, copyright, right of publicity, trade secret, or other similar right of any person or entity (an “Infringement Claim”). For clarity, ROR’s Materials include, without limitation, the ROR Data, Services, and ROR Tools, and Client’s Materials include, without limitation, the Client Data and any documents, data, or other content or materials provided by or on behalf of Client. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Party shall have no liability for Materials under this Section 12(a) to the extent an Infringement Claim is based upon: (a) the other Party’s combination of any Materials with any products, services, hardware, software, data or other materials other than those expressly specified in the applicable SOW or Insertion Order; (b) the use of the Materials other than in accordance with this Agreement and any applicable SOW or Insertion Order; (c) any patent infringement arising out of any Deliverables provided by ROR including, without limitation, any Marketing Creative; and/or (d) any patent infringement related to patents owned by a non-practicing entity (as commonly understood in the industry). In the event that an injunction is obtained against a Party’s use of the Materials hereunder by reason of infringement or an Infringement Claim is sustained in a final judgment, or in the event a Party reasonably believes that use of its Materials may be found to infringe or constitute a misappropriation or be enjoined, then the indemnifying Party shall, at its option and expense: (i) procure for the indemnified Party the right to continue using the Materials; (ii) replace or modify the Materials so that they become non-infringing (such modifications or replacement shall be functionally equivalent to the original and meet all applicable specifications set forth in the applicable SOW) and make any modifications to any deliverables, Services, ROR Tools, or ROR Data necessitated by such replacement or modification; or (iii) terminate the applicable SOW or Insertion Order by providing written notice to the other Party. If ROR terminates a SOW or Insertion Order pursuant to the foregoing clause, ROR shall refund any prepaid amounts not yet earned under the applicable SOW or Insertion Order.
- General Indemnity Client shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless ROR, its affiliates, and its and their employees, principals (shareholders or holders of an ownership interest, as the case may be), and agents from and against any Claims arising out of or resulting from: (a) bodily injury or death of any person or damage to real and tangible personal property directly caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of the Client, its personnel or agents during the course of performing the Services; (b) any third party claims or suits resulting from Client’s breach of its obligations, representations and/or warranties set forth in this MSA and/or a SOW and/or an Insertion Order (except for third party Infringement Claims, which are covered in Section 12(a) above); (c) use of the Services or any output of the Services other than as expressly authorized herein, in a SOW, or in an Insertion Order; (d) any instructions from Client (or any affiliate, vendor or contractor of Client) to ROR regarding any Services; (e) any use by Client of any Materials produced by ROR that are proposed but which ROR does not take beyond the “concept stage”, (f) any allegation that the Services, as performed on behalf of Client or used by Client, violate any Applicable Laws and/or any privacy policies or practices of Client (including, without limitation, any allegation that Tracking Technologies on any website and/or mobile application owned, operated, or controlled by Client or any affiliate, vendor or contractor of Client, violate any Applicable Laws and/or any privacy policies or practices of Client).
- Procedures The Party seeking indemnification under this Section 12 shall promptly notify the other in writing of a Claim and provide reasonable cooperation (at the indemnifying Party’s expense) and grant the indemnifying Party the sole and full authority to defend the Claim; provided, however, the indemnified Party may participate in the defense of such Claim at its expense. The indemnifying Party shall have no obligation to indemnify the indemnified Party under any settlement made without the indemnifying Party’s written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld). The indemnifying Party shall not settle any claim or suit under this Section 12 on the indemnified Party’s behalf without first obtaining the indemnified Party’s written permission (which shall not be unreasonably withheld). Each Party shall promptly communicate to the other any offer received by or proposed to be made in settlement of any claim or suit that is subject to indemnification under this Section 12, and each Party shall promptly and reasonably consider any such settlement offer or proposal that the other Party desires to accept or make.
- Term and Termination
- Term of MSA This MSA will be effective on the Effective Date, and will remain effective until terminated in accordance with this Section 13(a). This MSA may shall terminate at any time where there is then no SOW or Insertion Order in effect between the Parties, and there has been no SOW or Insertion Order in effect for the preceding one hundred eighty (180) days.
- Termination of SOWs or Insertion Orders In the event a Party breaches any of the material provisions contained in this MSA, any SOW, and/or any Insertion Order, the non-breaching Party may terminate any applicable SOW or Insertion Order or all of this MSA, any SOWs and any Insertion Orders by providing thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the breaching Party, which notice will set forth a description of the breach. If the breach is cured within the above-mentioned thirty (30)-day period, the applicable termination notice shall be deemed null and of no effect, and this MSA and any SOWs and/or Insertion Orders shall continue pursuant to their terms. In the event that: (i) a Party ceases conducting business in the normal course; (ii) a Party becomes insolvent; (iii) a Party admits in writing its inability to meet its debts generally as they become due; (iv) a Party makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (v) a Party suffers or permits the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator, or conservator for its business or assets; (vi) a Party avails itself of, or becomes subject to, any proceeding under the Federal Bankruptcy Act or any other statute of any state relating to insolvency or the protection of rights of creditors; or (vii) proceedings are commenced for the dissolution, winding-up, or liquidation of a Party, then, at the option of the other Party, all applicable SOWs and Insertion Orders will terminate immediately.
Any other right to terminate a SOW or Insertion Order prior to the expiration of its term may be addressed only in the applicable SOW or Insertion Order.
- Effect of Termination In the event of a termination of a SOW or an Insertion Order: (a) Client will pay ROR the full amount of the final ROR invoice under such SOW or Insertion Order within 15 days after receipt (payment of this final invoice will not bar any remedy, legal or equitable, otherwise available to ROR); and (b) Client will direct ROR in writing as to the date (to be at least thirty (30) days but no longer than ninety (90) days after such termination), upon which ROR may delete all Client Data maintained in any ROR Tools system hosted or controlled by ROR. In addition, within thirty (30) days after such termination each Party will delete all other Confidential Information of the other Party, provided that the Receiving Party may retain, but not use, archived versions of such Confidential Information as required by Receiving Party’s data and document retention policies; and (c) all obligations of the Parties hereunder will cease, except such obligations that survive termination hereunder pursuant to Section 14.
- Survival Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this MSA or otherwise, the following provisions shall survive any expiration or termination of this MSA: Sections 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 11, 12, 14, 15, 19, 20
- Notices Any notices required or permitted pursuant to this MSA shall be in writing and deemed to have been sufficiently given or served for all purposes when presented personally or sent by overnight courier or registered mail to the signatories herein at their respective addresses set forth in the then-most recent SOW between the Parties. Notices for ROR shall also be sent to: Attn: General Counsel, 6543 S. Las Vegas Blvd., 2nd Floor, Las Vegas, NV 89119, with a copy to legal@rorpartners.com. Notices for Client shall be sent to the address specified in a SOW or Insertion Order.
- Force Majeure Neither Party shall be liable to the other in connection with any failure or delay in performance of this MSA if such failure or delay arises out of causes beyond the control and without the fault of such Party (a “Force Majeure Event”). Upon the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event, the disabled Party will promptly and in writing advise the other Party if it is unable to perform due to such Force Majeure Event, the expected duration of such inability to perform, and of any developments (or changes therein) that appear likely to affect the ability of the disabled Party to perform any of its obligations in whole or in part. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any payment obligation of Client be delayed or excused as a result of this Section 16.
- Subcontractors ROR shall have the right to utilize subcontractors and/or vendors to fulfill its obligations in this MSA, a SOW, and/or a Insertion Order, provided that ROR shall remain fully liable for its performance of its obligations. Client shall be solely responsible for, and ROR shall not be obligated to enter into any contractual relationship with, a subcontractor or other third-party provider at the direction of Client or any of Client’s customers. Client will be solely responsible for all contractual relationships with its actual or potential customers, retailers and/or its retailer-mandated service providers. If Client’s third-party provider fails to perform, Client should look solely to the third party, not ROR, unless ROR’s negligence is solely responsible for the failure.
- Modifications to MSA and Services Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this MSA, any SOW, any Insertion Order, or otherwise, ROR shall have the right to modify this MSA form with or without notice to any Client. Any SOW or Insertion Order between Client and ROR, whether executed before or after any modifications to this MSA form, shall be deemed subject to this MSA form, as amended. Moreover, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this MSA, any SOW, any Insertion Order, or otherwise, ROR shall have the right, with or without notice to any Client, to reasonably modify any Services. Such reasonable modifications may include, without limitation: (a) modifications to improve the efficiency of the Services; (b) modifications to cause the Services to be compliant with Applicable Laws; and/or (c) modifications to improve the utility of the Services to any client.
- Non-Interference with Employees Client acknowledges that ROR’s continuing relationship with its employees is an essential part of its business. Accordingly, for the duration of this Agreement, plus twelve (12) months thereafter, unless it has received ROR’s prior written consent, Client agrees not to solicit for employment or to hire, or to enter into any consultancy or similar agreement with any person who was an employee of ROR during the term of this Agreement.
- Miscellaneous The section headings to this MSA do not form a part of it and will not affect or limit the meaning of the sections. Client will, if asked by ROR, reasonably consider participating in a written press release with ROR regarding the Services provided to be provided by ROR. No waiver by either Party of any default hereunder by the other will operate as a waiver of any other default or of a similar default on a future occasion. No waiver of any term or condition hereof by either Party will be effective unless the same is in writing and signed by both Parties. In the event that any provision of this MSA (other than a provision which goes to the essence of the consideration for this MSA) is declared invalid, unenforceable, or void, to any extent, by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be deemed deleted from this MSA and the remainder of this MSA and the application thereof will not be affected thereby, but rather will be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by Applicable Laws. ROR is an independent contractor of Client, and nothing herein will be construed as creating a joint venture, partnership, or similar relationship between ROR and Client. This MSA is governed by and will be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada, without application of its choice of law provisions. All disputes arising out of or relating to the Agreement will be brought, heard, and determined exclusively in the Federal District Court in the Southern District of Nevada or any state court of competent jurisdiction within Clark County, NV. Both Parties consent to personal and subject matter jurisdiction and venue in such courts and waive and relinquish any right to assert that any action instituted by the other in any such court is in the improper venue or should be transferred to a more convenient forum. The Parties acknowledge that all orders issued by the forum court, including injunctions and other decrees will be binding and enforceable in all jurisdictions and countries. Except as provided in Section 18 above, this MSA may not be modified except as mutually agreed to in writing, signed by an authorized representative of each Party. This MSA, together with any SOWs and Insertion Orders, supersedes all prior agreements, communications, representations, and understandings, either oral or written, between ROR and Client with respect to the subject matter contained herein. All terms and conditions on any Client-issued purchase order, order acknowledgment, or other document in connection with this MSA will be deemed deleted and of no force or effect. Either Party shall have the right to assign all rights and liabilities hereunder without the other Party’s consent to any person or entity that (a) acquires all or substantially all of its operating assets, or (b) results from a merger or reorganization pursuant to any plan of merger or reorganization, provided however, that any such assignment will give the non-assigning Party a right to terminate this MSA upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice should the assigning Party make such assignment to a competitor of the non-assigning Party. Further, ROR may assign this MSA to an affiliate without the consent of Client. Any other assignments by either Party, in whole or part, shall require the prior written consent of the other Party, without which such assignments are null and void. This MSA is binding upon and inures to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
