5. ADVERTISING NETWORK
5.1 Participation. You may request to add any of your Publisher Sites to the Adysis Advertising Network. Adysis may, in its discretion, reject your request and/or remove any Publisher Site from the Adysis Advertising Network at any time. If Adysis agrees to include a Publisher Site in the Adysis Advertising Network, this Section 5 will apply. You will provide any additional information (in your account or otherwise) Adysis requires for the Adysis Advertising Network.
5.2 Licenses. By opting-into the Adysis Advertising Network, you grant us a license to serve advertisements on your Publisher Sites. Adysis grants you a license to include on the applicable Publisher Sites the ad serving code it provides to you (Ad Code), in accordance with this Section 5. Adysis may also serve ads in conjunction with other Adysis Services, including but not limited to search results.
5.3 Ad Code You may place the Ad Code only on Publisher Sites that you control. Ad Code may not be placed on pop-up windows or pages that automatically refresh, reload, or redirect visitors. The Ad Code must be placed, without modification, directly within the HTML of the applicable Publisher Site pages, and may not be incorporated into any other software application. You may not edit, modify, or otherwise change our Ad Code without our express written consent. Upon Adysis's written request, you will promptly remove Ad Code from any Publisher Site.

You will cooperate with Adysis to minimize automated or fraudulent traffic.
5.7 Counting. A click shall be deemed a "Countable Click" if it is counted as a unique click by Adysis's ad server, as determined by Adysis in its sole discretion. By way of example and not limitation, a click resulting from robot clicks, multiple clicks from the same user within a specific period, reloads by the same browser within a specific period and incomplete requests shall not be considered unique. Adysis counts clicks only when a user's browser executes our Ad Code and the user clicks on the served advertisement. There are several factors that may cause a discrepancy between the number of clicks that you count and the number of Countable Clicks, including, but not limited to, the use of: spiders, robots, or crawlers from other search engines; browsers that don't have JavaScript enabled or don't support JavaScript; browsers that use ad-blocking software to block impressions; browsers that don't support the programs designed to grab website content.
5.8 Fees. Adysis will pay you the applicable amounts for each Countable Click and/or Countable Impressions on your Publisher Site. Adysis will have no obligation to make payments for any amounts generated from automated or fraudulent traffic.
5.9 Payment Adysis will pay you within sixty (60) days after the end of each month in which there were Countable Clicks and/or Countable Impressions on a Publisher Site and Adysis received your valid payment information. However, if the amount accrued for such month is less than $25 (USD), payment will be deferred until the month in which the cumulative balance owed to you exceeds $25 (USD) or the Agreement is terminated. Publishers must have a PayPal account, and all payments by Adysis to you hereunder shall be made to such PayPal account. In no event, however, including but limited to, upon termination, will we make payments for any earned balance less than $10 (USD).
