Terms & Conditions
TheParkingPlace.com Terms of Service
Last Updated: May 5, 2017
These Terms of Service govern your participation in and/or use of certain services or features of TheParkingPlace.com, a website owned and operated by Media Breakaway, LLC (the "Site," "Media Breakaway", "we" or "our"). By participating in or using the services or features of the Site, you ("you", "your", "Domain Owner", or "Traffic Buyer") are agreeing to be bound by these terms of service ("Terms of Service").
1. Domain Monetization Services
TheParkingPlace.com is a service that empowers domain name owners to generate earnings based on appropriate incoming traffic to their domains, as described herein.
1.1 Payment; Factors Affecting Payment; Taxes and Withholding; Payment Disputes.
A. Payment. Domain Owner will be paid a commission based on a percentage of Net Revenues (as defined herein) received by Media Breakaway. If Domain Owner generates at least $1,000 revenue each week, Domain Owner may apply to take advantage of Media Breakaway's weekly wire payment, less applicable wire fee. Approval of such weekly wire application is at Media Breakaway's sole discretion and may be revoked at any time. If Domain Owner does not generate at least $1,000 per week in earnings or is not approved for weekly wire payment, Commissions will be mailed to Domain Owner in U.S. Dollars (USD) within twenty (20) days after the end of the month in which the Net Revenue was received. In the event that the commission payable for a particular calendar month is less than $100, the amount earned will be rolled over to the next month and combined with that month's earnings until at least $100 is earned. Additionally, in the event Domain Owner has a past due advertising invoice with Media Breakaway, we may off-set and apply any available earnings from the Site hereunder, if any, against the amount past due.
B. Factors Affecting Payment. Domain Owner acknowledges and agrees that Media Breakaway agrees to make commission payments to Domain Owner pursuant to these Terms of Service based on the mutual understanding that Media Breakaway will be able to monetize the traffic through agreements with its upstream advertiser partners ("Advertisers") and that such agreements require that payment be made only upon appropriate traffic. As such, Domain Owner acknowledges and agrees that all traffic generated to domains participating in the Site will be subject to review by Media Breakaway's proprietary traffic quality scoring process which will not be disclosed to Domain Owner. If Media Breakaway is unable to collect revenues from any such third party partners due to any failure of Domain Owner to comply with the terms of these Terms of Service, any breach of Domain Owner's representations, warranties or covenants contained herein, the quality of the traffic which is being delivered to domains participating in the Site or any other factor that would prevent Media Breakaway from earning Revenue on Domain Owner Websites, then commissions payable to Domain Owner hereunder shall be reduced accordingly. If the amount earned by Domain Owner hereunder is reduced to an amount less than the amount previously paid by Media Breakaway, then Domain Owner shall, upon invoice by Media Breakaway, immediately pay the difference to Media Breakaway. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Domain Owner understands and agrees that in the event any payment is made by Media Breakaway to Domain Owner and Media Breakaway's Advertiser subsequently denies payment to Domain Owner for Clicks generated from those Domain Owner Websites, Media Breakaway shall be entitled to repayment of any such amount whether through reduction of future payments to Domain Owner or Domain Owner's repayment to Media Breakaway of any such commissions based on such Clicks for which payment is denied. Further, Domain Owner agrees that Media Breakaway may withhold payments (i) while Clicks are being reviewed in its traffic quality process or (ii) if Media Breakaway reasonably believes that such Media Breakaway will not receive payment for such Clicks from its Advertisers.
C. Taxes and Withholding. Domain Owner understands and agrees that taxes with respect to commissions or any other payments made by Media Breakaway to Domain Owner hereunder will not be withheld or paid directly or indirectly by Media Breakaway unless Media Breakaway determines in its sole discretion that Media Breakaway or its affiliates may be liable for any such taxes, in which case it shall withhold the estimated amount and notify Domain Owner of such withholding. Domain Owner understands and agrees that it is Domain Owner's responsibility to pay all applicable local, state, federal, and/or foreign taxes on commissions and other income received from Media Breakaway pursuant to these Terms of Service. Domain Owner agrees to promptly reimburse and indemnify Media Breakaway from any claim or assessment of taxes by any foreign, United States, state, and/or local taxing authority, and any other costs and damages, arising from or in connection with the operation of this Section 1.1. All payments may occur only after Domain Owner supplies a valid and signed IRS Form W-9 for U.S. companies or individuals or a valid and signed IRS Form W-8 for foreign residing companies or individuals. Address and contact information on these forms may be confirmed as correct, prior to any payouts.
D. Payment Disputes. Domain Owner understands and agrees to address any questions Domain Owner may have with any payment of commissions under these provisions to Media Breakaway within thirty (30) days of the date of such payment, in writing or by e-mail to kacy@theparkingplace.com. Failure to so notify Media Breakaway within such period will constitute an acceptance of, and agreement with, the applicable payment.
1.2 Restrictions and Rights

In the event that any domain name is blocked from use on the Site by Media Breakaway, such domain name may not participate, either directly or indirectly, in the Site without the express written consent of Media Breakaway. Accordingly, neither Domain Owner nor anyone acting on behalf of Domain Owner shall redirect or attempt to redirect the domain name to the Site through use of embedded redirection or other method intended to avoid the blocking of such domain name from participation in the Site. Any failure to comply with the terms of this policy may result in an immediate termination of Domain Owner's account and forfeiture of any commissions earned or to be earned by Domain Owner hereunder.
Domain Names & Intellectual Property Rights . Domain Owner shall not place with Media Breakaway or in any way through the Site a domain name to which it does not have valid ownership, as determined by Media Breakaway in its sole discretion. In the event that any such domain name is provided for use in the Site, and such lack of rights or a claim of intellectual property infringement is brought to the attention of Media Breakaway, then Media Breakaway shall have the right to cancel the participation of any such domain name(s) in the Site, and, in appropriate situations, in the sole discretion of Media Breakaway, terminate Domain Owner's participation in the Site and seek legal recourse against Domain Owner and any others involved in accordance with these Terms of Service and applicable law.
Representatives and Agents. If a Domain Owner desires to have a representative or agent manage and control their account with Media Breakaway, either individually or aggregated with other accounts managed by such representative or agent, Domain Owner's use of such representative or agent shall be subject to the following terms: (i) such representative or agent must have agreed to be bound by these Terms of Service and otherwise must be in good standing with Media Breakaway, as detailed below; (ii) Domain Owner shall be deemed to have authorized such representative or agent to take any and all actions with respect to the Domain Owner's account and participation of Domain Owner's domain names in the Site, including without limitation, being the authorized contact for all communications to and from Media Breakaway and being authorized to make any and all changes with respect to Domain Owner's account with Media Breakaway and Media Breakaway shall be fully entitled to rely on, and shall have no liability to Domain Owner with respect to, any and all requests, decisions, actions and/or omissions of such representative or agent with respect to Domain Owner's account and/or domain names; and (iii) Domain Owner's commission payments and Domain Owner's account with Media Breakaway may be suspended, cancelled or terminated if such representative or agent violates these Terms of Service with respect to any account or domain name participating in the Site which is under its control, even if such breach is unrelated to such Domain Owner's account. If Domain Owner desires to remove its representative or agent from its account, it must do so by delivering written notice to Media Breakaway specifically revoking the authority of such representative or agent from such Domain Owner's account, such revocation not to be effective until written confirmation from Media Breakaway of receipt of its written request. Domain Owner acknowledges and agrees that in the event Domain Owner's representative or agent is removed as provided herein, Media Breakaway may change any and all terms applicable to Domain Owner's commissions, including the rate, payment thresholds and other payment terms to be consistent with other individual Domain Owners' accounts, and that Domain Owner's account may be subject to cancellation if Domain Owner does not meet minimum performance standards as an individual account.
For purposes of this Agreement, a Domain Owner or representative shall be in "good standing" if such Domain Owner (or if a representative, then such representative and each customer of the representative who would be Domain Owners hereunder) is not currently in violation of these Terms of Service, has not been in repeated violation of these Terms of Service, even if such past violations have been cured, and has not been subjected to excessive Revenue deductions or adjustments in Media Breakaway's discretion.
Each representative or agent that manages and/or controls accounts or domain names participating in the Site for which they are not the owner agrees to be bound by these Terms of Service for all such accounts and domain names. Each such representative or agent acknowledges and agrees that (i) a violation of these Terms of Service with respect to any one account managed or controlled by it shall constitute a violation of these Terms of Service for all accounts managed or controlled by such representative or agent and may result in all of such accounts being suspended or terminated, (ii) in the event that Media Breakaway receives complaints or other communications from the owner of accounts or domain names managed by such representative or agent expressing their dissatisfaction with such representative or agent, Media Breakaway may, in its sole and absolute discretion, revoke such representative's or agent's status as a representative for accounts or domain names with Media Breakaway and Media Breakaway may work directly with such representative's or agent's clients and (iii) it shall treat all confidential information of a managed account confidential and that disclosure of such information to anyone other than Media Breakaway or the client shall constitute a violation of such client's privacy and may result in Media Breakaway revoking such representative or agent's status as a representative for accounts or domain names participating in the Site.
Account Access. When a Domain Owner uses the services provided by Media Breakaway, Domain Owner will be required to create an account with Media Breakaway to use its web-based interface. Domain Owner is responsible for selecting and continuously managing his, her or its password and security settings to protect Domain Owner's account and Domain Owner's domain monetization settings (including Domain Owner's contact information) from unauthorized changes. Domain Owner is entirely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and secrecy of Domain Owner's password and account security settings, as well as Domain Owner's other information. All consequences of Domain Owner's voluntary disclosure of password and account information as well as all activities that occur in Domain Owner's account are Domain Owner's responsibility.
Domain Owner agrees to notify Media Breakaway immediately of any unauthorized use of Domain Owner's account or any other breach of security. Domain Owner agrees that it will be responsible for all activity that arises from Domain Owner's account, whether initiated by Domain Owner or others on Domain Owner's behalf and Media Breakaway shall be entitled to rely on any requests which have been initiated from Domain Owner's account. Media Breakaway disclaims any liability for any activity in Domain Owner's account, whether initiated or authorized by Domain Owner or not.
Additional Definitions. As used herein, the following capitalized terms shall have the meanings provided as follows:
"Clicks" means a click by an End User. "Clicks" do not include clicks which are invalid as determined by Media Breakaway's internal tracking system and traffic quality scoring process or for which Media Breakaway does not recognize revenue from its advertiser partners. Invalid Clicks may include clicks (i) generated by automated crawlers, robots or click generating scripts providing traffic which has no intent to sign-up, purchase or otherwise act upon a product or service offering; (ii) multiple clicks on the same advertisement within a brief period of time, or (iii) that an advertiser receives and rejects for a valid business purpose (e.g., a Click which was not generated by an End User).
"Domain Owner Website" means any website associated with a domain name owned by a Domain Owner which participates in the services or features of the Site.
"End User" means a bona fide living human Internet user. An "End User" excludes any person or any mechanical, artificial or fraudulent means (such as a so-called robot, spider, software or scraper) lacking an intention to purchase, sign up or otherwise act upon a product or service of the marketer contained on a Landing Page or Search Results Page.
"Landing Page" means an html page or a framed html page hosted by or on behalf of Media Breakaway displaying search links, search results and/or other content from Media Breakaway servers or such servers as Media Breakaway uses.
"Net Revenue" means Revenue adjusted for any bad debt, net credits or returns from previous payment periods, less any amount Media Breakaway determines, in its sole discretion, was the result of improper use of Domain Owner Websites and as such revenue is otherwise calculated or adjusted by Media Breakaway to take into account (i) any exclusions set forth in these Terms of Service, (ii) the results of Media Breakaway's traffic quality scoring process and (iii) any other adjustments made by Media Breakaway in its sole discretion. Media Breakaway may exclude from Net Revenue monies from traffic that originates from countries where traffic is, in the sole discretion of Media Breakaway, suspect or difficult to track in the normal course of business or is determined to be invalid on a consistent and regular basis by Media Breakaway or its Advertiser.
"Revenue" means estimated gross revenue to be received by Media Breakaway for a particular calendar month as a direct result of Clicks on an advertisement or other promotional link attributable to traffic from Landing Pages or Search Results Pages hosted on a Domain Owner Website pursuant to the Site as reported by Media Breakaway's Advertiser as of the end of such calendar month.
"Search Results Page" means an html page hosted by or on behalf of Media Breakaway displaying search results pulled from Media Breakaway servers (or such other servers as Media Breakaway elects to use), which has resulted from a typed in search or a keyword click from and only from a Landing Page. Search Results Pages accessed by End Users through the Site shall be solely through Media Breakaway's servers (or such other servers as Media Breakaway in its sole discretion may use, hosted on Media Breakaway's servers or domains, meaning that Media Breakaway shall host or on its behalf provide for hosting of all Search Results Pages in response to valid queries entered by End Users).
Consequences of Non-Compliance. Domain Owner acknowledges that, in addition to any other remedies at law that Media Breakaway may have, failure by Domain Owner to comply with any or all of the terms in these Terms of Service will result in (i) the forfeiture by Domain Owner of any yet unpaid commissions and/or (ii) the obligation to pay additional compensation from future earnings, over time, to compensate for the monies paid out by Media Breakaway plus applicable interest, limited to 18% per annum of the principal, accrued monthly. Future earnings payment applies only if Domain Owner is a still existing client. Monies due will be based solely on payments made on such domain names with issues of violations for the time period that Domain Owner's domain names subject to the Site were in violation of the terms plus any applicable interest, as stated above. Media Breakaway shall make the determination of length of time and value of any violation of the terms herein, solely and such determinations will be final. Domain Owner may present information to the contrary up to fifteen (15) calendar days after notification to Domain Owner of the beginning of the investigation. Domain Owner agrees to hereby accept Media Breakaway's decisions regarding such violations of the Terms of Service as final and wave any litigation rights, whatsoever, of any issue, compensation or otherwise relating to the decision and/or Terms of Service violations. Domain Owner or Media Breakaway may terminate these Terms of Service at any time. Media Breakaway reserves the right to access any outstanding balance payments, in its sole discretion, if Domain Owner, its subsidiary, or related company were to reapply to be a Domain Owner using the Site at any time in the future. Finally, such failures may also result in the termination of Domain Owner's account.
