- PURCHASE AND SALE OF TRANSFERS
- Veerus’ Purchase of Transfers from Partner
Veerus agrees to purchase from Partner certain data collected from consumers who submit contact information and details about a request for information or service quotes in the form of Transfers that conform to the following guidelines:
- A Transfer will include only information that has been provided by the individual and the following contact information as available, unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties in writing: (a) first and last name, (b) address, (c) email address, and (d) phone number.
- Transfers must be real time transfers.
- Transfers shall not be sourced from any incentivized or co-reg traffic.
- Transfers shall not be sourced from any affiliates operating overseas.
- Without limiting Veerus’ ability to re-sell or transfer Transfers, Transfers shall be exclusive to Veerus and Partner may not sell any Transfer sold to Veerus to any other buyer.
- Transfers must comply with all applicable local, state, and federal laws including, without limitation the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (“TCPA”) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) as set forth in Section 4 below.
- Payment Terms
As set forth on your Veerus account page or otherwise set forth in writing, Veerus shall pay Partner on a pay-per-call basis. Unless otherwise agreed upon, Veerus shall pay Partner monthly on a net 30 basis.
- Returns and Cancellations; Fraud
Veerus shall not pay Partner for any Transfers that do not confirm to the quality guidelines set forth in Section 1.1 at its sole discretion. In the event Veerus determines, in its sole discretion, that any Transfers are fraudulent or have been obtained fraudulently, Veerus reserves the right to refuse payment on those fraudulent Transfers or any Transfers provided under this Agreement. The provision of fraudulent Transfers under this Agreement is considered a material breach, entitling Veerus to immediate termination of this Agreement without penalty or further obligation pursuant to Section 9.
In the event Veerus determines that Partner submitted fraudulent Transfers, Veerus may, without regard for any confidentiality requirements contained in this Agreement, share all information about Partner with any law enforcement agency, or individual/entity claiming to have been harmed by any such breach. Without waiving its right to terminate, Veerus may elect a lesser remedy including, without limitation, pausing Partner’s current campaigns.
- AUTHORIZED USE AND PURPOSE OF TRANSFERS
Transfers shall be provided on an exclusive basis for a specific type of product or service for which the consumer submitted the online form (“the specific vertical”), for example, healthcare insurance. The Parties agree that Veerus may use the Transfers in any manner Veerus chooses, so long as Veerus complies with applicable law.
- INFORMATION SECURITY
It is Partner’s sole responsibility to comply with all applicable laws and regulations applicable to the receipt, use, storage and safeguarding of consumer data. Partner agrees to maintain commercially reasonable physical, electronic and procedural controls and safeguards to protect any such consumer information received pursuant to these terms from unauthorized use or disclosure, including the maintenance of appropriate safeguards to restrict access to the consumer data solely to carry out the purposes for which the information was disclosed. Partner shall publish and maintain a privacy policy on all of its consumer-facing sites that complies with applicable law and accurately describes its handling of consumer information.
- REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Veerus audit rights under this Section 6 shall continue for so long as Partner is required to maintain consent records pursuant to Sections 4.3 and 4.4.
- CONFIDENTIALITY
As used herein, “Confidential Information” shall mean: (a) either Party’s proprietary information; (b) information marked or designated by either Party as confidential; (c) information otherwise disclosed by either Party in a manner consistent with its confidential nature; (d) the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including but not limited to pricing information contained in your Veerus account page or any email setting forth pricing terms; and (e) either Party’s information that is conveyed to the other Party, whether or not in written form and whether or not designated as confidential, that is known, or should reasonably be known, by the other Party to be treated as confidential. The Parties acknowledge that, as a result of the provision of services pursuant to this Agreement, one Party may disclose Confidential Information (“Disclosing Party”) to the other party (“Receiving Party”). Therefore, the Receiving Party agrees that, except as necessary to perform under this Agreement, it will make no disclosure of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information without obtaining the Disclosing Party’s prior written consent. Additionally, the Receiving Party will restrict disclosure of Confidential Information to its employee(s), authorized agent(s) and/or independent contractors to whom disclosure is reasonably required for fulfilling the Receiving Party’s obligations under this Agreement, and such employee(s), authorized agent(s) and/or independent contractor(s) shall be explicitly bound by the confidentiality obligations in this Section and will use reasonable care, but not less than the care they use with respect to their own Confidential Information, to prevent disclosure of any Confidential Information. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as granting or conferring rights by license or otherwise in any Confidential Information disclosed under this Agreement. This Section shall survive any termination of this Agreement indefinitely. The Receiving Party agrees that monetary damages for breach of this Section may not be adequate and that the Disclosing Party shall be further entitled to injunctive relief. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, confidentiality provisions shall not apply where the Receiving Party can demonstrate with clear evidence that the information: (a) was previously known to the Receiving Party at the time of disclosure, free of any obligation to keep it confidential; (b) became publicly known through no wrongful act of the Receiving Party; (c) was rightfully received by the Receiving Party from a third party who was not bound under any confidentiality provisions; or (d) was disclosed pursuant to judicial order, requirement of a governmental agency or by operation of law, but only if the Receiving Party provided the Disclosing Party with prior notice of such required disclosure in order to permit the Disclosing Party the opportunity to object to such disclosure. Upon the termination of this Agreement, each Receiving Party will return all Confidential Information belonging to the Disclosing Party which is then in its possession or control, and will remove and destroy all documents and data referencing or incorporating such Confidential Information, and any digital representations of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information in any form from all electronic storage media in its possession or under its control unless otherwise specified in this Agreement or required by law, regulation or lawful order of a court or governmental agency.

Thereafter, the Agreement will automatically renew for successive renewal terms of the same length as the Initial Term (each, a “Renewal Term” and, together with the Initial Term, the “Contract Term”) until the Agreement is terminated in accordance with this Section. Except in the case of a material breach, which would allow for immediate termination by the non-breaching Party without penalty or further obligation, the Parties may terminate this Agreement for any reason, or no reason, with 60-day written notice to the other Party. The terms of this Agreement which by their nature are intended to survive termination shall so survive and shall continue to apply indefinitely to any Transfers purchased or received hereunder and all matters relating to such Transfers or their use, including without limitation the use restrictions, warranties, indemnification, limitation of liability and mandatory arbitration provided herein.
- MANDATORY ARBITRATION
