Acceptance of Terms

Flurry welcomes you ("Developer"). By checking the Terms and Conditions box, or registering for Flurry's AppCircle Service (as defined below), Developer agrees that it has read, understands, and accepts the terms and conditions described below (the "Terms of Service") and Developer agrees to be bound by these Terms of Service and all terms, policies and guidelines incorporated in the Terms of Service by reference (this "Agreement"). If Developer does not agree to this Agreement, Developer should not use the AppCircle Service in any way. The AppCircle Service is offered to Developer conditioned on Developer's acceptance without modification of this Agreement. Flurry's Analytics Terms of Service, located here, are incorporated herein by reference.

Modification of Agreement

Flurry reserves the right to change or modify any of the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement at any time, in its sole discretion, by posting changes at http://www.flurry.com or such other URL that Flurry may provide from time to time). Developer's continued use of any part of the AppCircle Service following the posting of such changes or modifications will constitute Developer's acceptance of such changes or modifications.

Description and Use of the AppCircle Service

The "AppCircle Service" or "Service" means, the services and Software that facilitate the purchase and placement of Recommendations within Developer's mobile applications. "Recommendations" means the suggestion of applications to the end-user of Developer's mobile application that appear within such application. In order to use the AppCircle Service, Developer must integrate Flurry's AppCircle software development kit ("SDK") into Developer's mobile applications. The AppCircle SDK includes analytics site code, including, but not limited to, the code used in Flurry's Analytics Service, and any fixes, updates and upgrades provided to Developer (the "Agent"). The Agent, Flurry's processing code for the Analytics Service and code for the AppCircle Service are defined collectively herein as "Software". Developer agrees that Flurry may require Developer to use the then-current version of any and all Software. Any Developer that makes its applications available for Recommendations hereby grants Flurry the right to access, index and cache requests made from Developer's mobile applications to the AppCircle Service, and display Recommendations within the Developer's applications.

Representations and Warranties

Developer represents and warrants to Flurry that (i) Developer is the owner of each mobile application Developer designates in connection with the use of the Services or that Developer is legally authorized to act on behalf of the owner of such application for the purposes of this Agreement, and (ii) Developer has all necessary right, power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform the acts required of Developer hereunder.

Content

"Content" means all materials accessible through the AppCircle Services, including but not limited to the Recommendations. Developer acknowledges and agrees that if Developer uses any of the AppCircle Services to make Content available, Flurry is hereby granted a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, transferable right to fully exploit such Content (including all related intellectual property rights) and to allow others to do so in connection with the AppCircle Service. To the extent allowed by law, the foregoing includes all rights of paternity, integrity, disclosure and withdrawal and any other rights that may be known as or referred to as moral rights. To the extent Developer retains any such moral rights under applicable law, Developer hereby ratifies and consents to any action that may be taken with respect to such moral rights by Flurry and agrees not to assert any moral rights with respect thereto. Recommendations may include applications created by AppCircle Developers and by outside Developers through Flurry's use of preferred affiliate networks. Developer shall ensure that its Recommendations comply with all applicable laws and policies and do not contain any content that is infringing, libelous, defamatory, obscene, pornographic, abusive, and offensive or otherwise violate any right of any third party. Developer shall approve the format of all Recommendations it orders. Flurry reserves the right to remove any Content from the AppCircle Service at any time, for any reason, or for no reason at all.

Fees and Payment

The AppCircle Service requires the payment of fees. Such fees are as described in this Agreement and as more specifically currently set forth at http://www.flurry.com/about-us/legal/appCircle_paymentTerms.html. Flurry may change its fees and payment policies. The changes will be posted at http://www.flurry.com (or such other URL that Flurry may provide from time to time).

A) Recommendation Orders. Unless otherwise agreed by Flurry in writing (to include email), as a condition of placing Recommendation orders, a Developer must make its mobile applications available for Recommendations from other developers. In addition, if a Developer orders Recommendations, Developer shall pay all applicable fees for each instance in which the end-user downloads the application set forth in the Recommendations (the "Install"). In general, fees shall be based on a cost-per-Install and shall be determined via a bidding system subject to a minimum bid. Additional fees may be charged for mutually agreed upon enhancements to the Recommendations. Other fees may apply upon mutual agreement by Flurry and Developer. Developer shall fund its Recommendation account prior to ordering Recommendations for a minimum of $250. Developer may do this via check or credit card. Such funds shall be drawn down as fees become due to Flurry. If Developer does not fund its Recommendation account and fees become due to Flurry, Flurry shall issue an invoice to Developer that shall be due immediately upon receipt. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Flurry reserves the right to not place the Recommendations ordered by Developer if Developer's account is not funded. If the account is terminated, except for Developer's breach, such termination will be effective immediately, and Developer shall receive a refund for any amounts Developer has pre-paid for Services that have not been rendered. In addition, Developer may request a partial refund of any unused amount in its Recommendations account in writing. Such requests shall be limited to once per calendar quarter.

B) Recommendation Placements. If Developer places Recommendations within its mobile applications, Developer shall receive a percentage of the Net Revenue for Recommendations associated with end-users' downloads of applications within such Recommendations. "Net Revenue" shall mean revenues actually received by Flurry from the sale, use or other disposition of Recommendations displayed within Developer's mobile application less applicable taxes, agency commissions, carrier and/or partner fees, affiliate network fees, and less allowances actually made or taken for bad debt, returns, cash discounts or promotional allowances.

Payments to Developer shall be sent by Flurry within forty-five (45) days from the end of the calendar quarter in which such amounts accrue.

Payments to Developer shall be sent by Flurry only if Developer's earned balance is greater than or equal to $100 USD (One Hundred Dollars, US). In addition, any payments that may become due to Developer are specifically conditioned upon Flurry's receipt of full payment from the Developer ordering the Recommendations. In the event that Flurry is not paid in full by the applicable Developer that ordered the Recommendations, Flurry shall only be responsible for paying the Developer that placed the Recommendations from the portion of the amounts Flurry actually received. If Developer disputes any payment made in connection with the Services, Developer must notify Flurry in writing within thirty (30) days of any such payment. In lieu of a cash payment, Developer can opt to receive dollar for dollar credit in a Recommendation account up to a maximum of $50,000 Such credit may be used only to place Recommendations within the mobile applications of other Developers that are AppCircle Service users. If a Developer's Recommendation account is inactive for a period of 6 months, Flurry may, in its sole and absolute discretion close the account and pay any remaining balance to Developer.

Incidental Costs Associated with Use of the AppCircle Service

Developer agrees that it is solely liable for all costs, fees, and other expenses resulting from Developer's use of the AppCircle Service. This specifically includes, but is not limited to, incidental costs incurred by Developer in connection with Developer's use of the AppCircle Service, including, but not limited to, costs owed to Developer's communication service providers.

Developer understands that Developer is solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of Developer's password and that Developer shall be solely and fully responsible for all activities that occur under Developer's username and password. Flurry shall not be responsible for any loss, claim or other liability that may arise from the unauthorized use of any password. Developer agrees to immediately notify Flurry of any unauthorized use of Developer's password or username or any other breach of security. If a password is lost or stolen, it is the Developer's responsibility to change the password, and immediately notify Flurry, so that Developer's account remains both secure and functional.
