Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On October 26, 2015, the Registrant and Google Inc. (“Google”), entered into a Google Services Agreement (the “Services Agreement”). The Services Agreement is effective as of April 1, 2016 (following the expiration of the current services agreement in place between the parties) and expires on March 31, 2020; provided, that the Registrant may choose to terminate the agreement effective March 31, 2019 upon prior written notice.
Pursuant to the Services Agreement, Google will provide the Registrant with, among other things, search advertisements through Google’s AdSense for Search (“AFS”) and AdSense for Content (“AFC”) advertising services, web algorithmic search services through Google’s Websearch Service, and image search services. The results provided by Google for these services will be available to the Registrant for display on both desktop and mobile platforms. The Registrant may use Google’s services on its owned and operated properties and desktop applications, and on approved syndication partner properties.
Google will pay the Registrant a percentage of the gross revenues from Google ads displayed by the Registrant. The percentage will vary depending on whether the ads are displayed on the Registrant’s properties or on those of its syndication partners and whether displayed via desktop, mobile or tablet devices. The Registrant will pay Google agreed-upon fees for requests for image search results or web algorithmic search results.
The Services Agreement is exclusive with respect to the placement of similar search-based advertisements on designated properties and applications of the Registrant on desktop platforms (subject to exclusions in certain circumstances), but is otherwise non-exclusive, and expressly permits the Registrant to use other search advertising services on mobile and tablet platforms, as well as in certain geographies outside the United States.
Either party may terminate the Services Agreement upon a material breach of the other party, subject to certain limitations. In addition, Google may suspend the Registrant’s use of services upon certain events and may terminate the Services Agreement if such events are not cured. Google generally retains broad discretion under the Services Agreement to update its policies and the terms and conditions of the services provided thereunder.
