Provided you are in compliance with these Affiliate Terms, for any given calendar month, We will pay You a share of revenues from Our invoices or charges for all qualified Clicks on listings advertisements, as recorded by Our, or Our customer’s (if applicable), click tracking systems related to Your efforts. For each Click, Your share of Our revenue will be sixty percent (60%) percent of the cost-per-click ("CPC") bid for the corresponding keyword(s), less any deduction for credit card fraud, advertising complaints, fraudulent traffic or other similar sort of deductions. We will determine the CPC bid and include it in the Paid Listings feed sent in response to such request. We will have sole and absolute discretion to decide the CPC bid for each Listing, and such CPC bid may change frequently. You may use the CPC bid included in the Paid Listings feed from Us solely for the purpose of ranking the Paid Listings and gauging payments from Us, but the parties agree that all CPC bid amounts submitted by Us are confidential, trade secret information for internal use only, and shall not be posted on Your web pages or disclosed to any third parties. We shall have no obligation to pay for clicks if You make any material misrepresentations in Your Application or if You violate the Affiliate Terms set forth herein.

After the close of any calendar month, We will make payment to You within forty five (45) days, provided, that You acknowledge and agree to the Query Source Identification as described in section 3.5, above. For every request, without such information Our ability to determine which clicks and ads are qualified or billable is impaired and thus We may not pay You for the clicks and ads you might otherwise be entitled to.

We reserve the right to deduct from payments made pursuant to Section 4.1, or otherwise recoup any amounts paid to You in prior months for non-qualified Clicks.

In the event that We determine in Our sole and absolute discretion that You or any third party site in Your Network has delivered non-qualified clicks, or traffic that violates any material term of this Agreement, We may, at Our option: (1) immediately terminate this Agreement upon written notice to You, or (2) require You to immediately cease displaying, and allowing third party sites in the Your Network to display, Paid Listings via any particular means, method, product, or third party distributor, and/or (3) not pay You for the non-qualified clicks.

14.5. CPC Bid. To optimize CPC bid pricing, We may designate Your ad calls/requests to be directed to certain of Our servers, and You shall follow such designations as they are provided to You.

14.6. Traffic Volume and Increases. You will provide Us with 3 days prior written notice before launching with new affiliates or traffic sources that will, in Your reasonable opinion, increase the number of Your queries by the lesser of 50% over then-current levels or 500,000 queries per day. We will have no obligation to pay for Clicks for which a timely notice is not provided under this section.

14.7. Blocking Distribution. We may request that You block distribution of Paid Listings to a specified list of sources (keywords, portions of Your Network, sites and/or IP addresses) or via any distribution method deemed questionable by Us. We also reserve the right to make a written request to You for You to block specific Paid Listings for display to specific domains. Once We make this request, We are not obligated to pay You for any clicks from such domain(s). If You identify the domain that the query originates from to Us, then We may perform this blocking. We reserve the right to ask You to block any international traffic, including international queries and clicks, for international users and listings appearing on international sites. We also reserve the right to ask You to block all adult-related traffic, including adult queries and clicks generated as a result of these adult queries.
