ENTRAVISION COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION
TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALES
These Terms and Conditions of Sales (the “Terms”) are incorporated into and made a part of all orders, contracts or agreements entered into by Client with Entravision Communications Corporation and its subsidiaries (“Entravision”) (the “Agreement”) for advertising or other services on television stations, radio stations, internet, mobile or digital platforms (collectively, “Services”) provided by Entravision or Entravision’s affiliates, contractors, distributors, suppliers and vendors (“Vendors”). “Client” means the party contracting with Entravision for Services and, if Client is an advertising agency, reseller or other entity representing a third party (an “Agency”), the term Client also includes such third party on whose behalf the contracting party is acting (the “Advertiser”). Entravision may revise the Terms at any time and without prior notice, and such revised Terms will apply to the Agreement. By contracting with Entravision for Services, Client accepts and agrees to be bound and abide by the Terms and the Entravision Privacy Policy (https://entravision.com/privacy-policy/), which describes Entravision’s privacy practices and is incorporated herein by reference.
1. SERVICES; AGREEMENT.
(a) The Services to be provided by Entravision will be set forth on an applicable order, contract or agreement entered into by Client and Entravision and the Terms are incorporated into and made a part thereof. The Agreement contains the entire agreement of the parties relating to and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) with respect to the subject matter thereof. No terms other than those set forth in the Agreement (including the Terms) will be binding on Entravision unless expressly agreed to in writing by Entravision. Entravision reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to change, modify, add or remove any portion of the Terms, in whole or in part, at any time. Client’s use of the Services after any such change constitutes acceptance of those changes. In addition, Client will follow all rules, procedures, terms and conditions that may govern any particular Service, including any such rules, procedures, terms and conditions provided by Entravision’s Vendors, and Client acknowledges that it has agreed to be bound by the same.
(b) Any performance information provided in the Agreement (including, but not limited to, past performance or future projections of ratings points, audience impressions or any other performance measure) are estimates for informational purposes only. Entravision makes no representation or guarantee regarding the performance of any advertisement, program or Service and Entravision will have no liability for the performance of any advertisement, program or Service. Entravision will not be obligated to “post” (i.e., provide ratings or other performance information for any advertisement), unless expressly agreed to in writing by Entravision (and in the event of such express agreement by Entravision, Entravision will not be obligated to post for any period that is 45 days prior to the date of the applicable invoice).
(c) Entravision does not guarantee any exclusivity or product protection or that an advertisement will not be broadcast or delivered within a commercial break or otherwise adjacent to any competing products or services.
2. TERM AND TERMINATION.
(a) Term. The term of the Agreement will be set forth on the applicable order, contract or agreement for Services entered into by Client and Entravision. The Agreement will not automatically renew and any renewal must be agreed to in writing by Entravision.
(b) Termination. Entravision may terminate the Agreement by providing 14 days prior written notice to Client. Client may terminate the Agreement by providing 14 days prior written notice to Entravision, unless the terms of the applicable order specify the order is non-cancellable (e.g., endorsements and sponsorships are some examples of non-cancellable Services). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Entravision may terminate the Agreement and/or Client’s use of any Services immediately at any time: (i) if Client breaches any term of the Agreement or the Terms, including but not limited to Client’s failure to make any payment when due; (ii) if Entravision determines, in its sole discretion, that Client has violated the Terms or any other applicable terms and conditions or that it has otherwise used any Services for any improper purpose; (iii) if Entravision no longer has the right or license to provide any Services; (iv) if Client, or the advertising party on whose behalf Client entered into the Agreement, becomes insolvent, makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, files a petition under the bankruptcy laws or has such a petition filed against it, or a receiver is appointed for Client (or such advertising party’s) property or business; or (v) in the event Entravision determines, in its sole discretion, that Client’s use of any Services would violate any third party’s rights, would violate any applicable law, rule or regulation, would be unfair, deceptive, misleading or inappropriate for broadcast or otherwise would not be in the public interest. In the event of any termination of the Agreement, without limiting any rights of Entravision, Client will immediately pay all amounts due as of the date of such termination.
(c) Effect of Termination. Client’s obligations to pay any and all amounts due and owing to Entravision under the Agreement and/or invoices and all other rights of Entravision that by their nature survive termination (for example, indemnity rights) will survive any termination of the Agreement. Client will not be relieved from any of its obligations that survive such early termination of this Agreement. In addition, Client will be liable to pay for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Entravision through the date of termination (for example, the purchase of digital inventory, data, third-party expenses of ad serving, talent fees, event expenses, etc.).
3. PREEMPTION OR FAILURE TO DELIVER; MAKEGOODS.
(a) Entravision may preempt any advertisement covered by the Agreement without notice or liability to Client. If Entravision preempts or otherwise does not broadcast or deliver any advertisement covered by the Agreement for any reason, Entravision may elect to offer Client a substitute advertisement during a different time or program (a “make good”). If Entravision and Client mutually agree on a make good, Client will be charged for the advertisement as provided in the Agreement. If the parties do not agree on a make good, Client will not be charged for the non-delivered advertisement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Entravision may, without prior notice to Client, broadcast any advertisement covered by the Agreement at any time other than the scheduled time(s) due to early or late completion or cancellation of a preceding live program, and Client will pay for the advertisement as if it had been delivered as scheduled.
(b) The make good remedy provided in this section is Client’s sole and exclusive remedy for Entravision’s preemption or failure to broadcast or deliver any advertising in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.
4. BILLING AND PAYMENT.
(a) Invoices. Entravision will issue invoices to Client and Client will pay all invoices for services provided under the Agreement. Client agrees that time is of the essence with respect to payment, and (i) each invoice must be paid no later than thirty (30) days from the invoice date, and (ii) each invoice will be deemed accepted by Client if Client does not notify Entravision in writing of any objection related to such invoice within 30 days following issuance of such invoice by Entravision.
(b) Joint and Several Liability. As a material consideration for Entravision to broadcast advertisements and/or provide Services, Agency and Advertiser will be jointly and severally liable to Entravision for all payment and other obligations of Client under the Agreement. Agency and Advertiser each waive notice of default(s) of any of their obligations under the Agreement. Advertiser acknowledges and agrees that payment by Advertiser to Agency for services rendered by Agency to Advertiser in connection with or relating to the Agreement will not relieve Advertiser from its joint and several liability obligations to Entravision hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent permitted under applicable laws, Agency and Advertiser each expressly waives any and all defenses arising under the law of suretyship, including, without limitation, under California Civil Code Sections 2809, 2810, 2819, 2845, 2849, 2850 and 2855, and California Civil Procedure Sections 580a, 580b and 580d, and any similar laws of other states that may be applicable. Agency and/or Advertiser will not raise or plead any of the foregoing defenses in any dispute or proceeding arising or relating to the Agreement.
(c) Agency Commission. If an invoice is billed to an Agency, Entravision may elect to offset the gross amount due under the Agreement by an agency commission in an amount to be agreed upon; provided, that Agency must be a bona fide advertising agency representing an Advertiser that is recognized by Entravision as an Agency and disclosed as such on the advertising order. If the Agreement is entered into directly with an Advertiser, no commission will be allowed or payable.
(d) Payment Terms; Suspension. Entravision has the right, in its sole discretion, to require payment in advance of any scheduled advertising delivery dates, or any other credit terms. If any invoice has not been paid by Client as and when due, Entravision may, in its sole discretion and without notice, suspend the broadcast of advertisements or other Services to Client.

Client agrees that third parties with whom Entravision may contract from time to time in order to provide the Services (including, without limitation, Vendors) are intended third party beneficiaries to the Agreement and may enforce their rights hereunder directly against Client.
(c) Modification; Waiver, Survival. No terms other than those set forth in the Terms will be binding on Entravision unless expressly agreed to in writing by Entravision.

If any provision of the Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of the Terms will remain in full force and effect. Sections 2, 4 and 6 through 10 will survive any termination of the Agreement.
