Modification and Operation of the CareerBuilder Network. CareerBuilder reserves the right to redesign or modify the CareerBuilder Network (i.e., careerbuilder.com, any other websites owned or controlled by CareerBuilder and any pages therein) at its discretion at any time. To the extent that such modifications materially and adversely affect the placement of one or more of the advertisements, CareerBuilder shall, at its sole discretion, make a commercially reasonable effort to display future affected advertisements in a comparable location and manner.
Cost Per Click (“CPC”)/Text Link Program. CareerBuilder provides an opportunity for Advertisers to buy advertisements on a CPC basis, served on the CareerBuilder site by third parties via text links (the “CPC Program”). In the event that Advertiser is participating in the CPC Program, Advertiser shall use the online system, located at www.careerbuilder.adsonar.com, to directly manage its campaign (e.g. modify CPC rates, change budget, view delivery reports, etc). All click reporting will come from either CareerBuilder or from the third-party used to manage that service. Billing will be based on clicks delivered to Advertiser multiplied by the cost per click rate applicable at the time the click was generated. Any changes in that system take precedence over the original contract terms. Advertiser will be provided with a unique user name and password that will permit Advertiser to manage its own campaign. Advertiser may not provide its user name or password or otherwise permit access to the CPC Program to any third party.
Email Campaigns. If Advertiser is participating in our Email campaign program, then Advertiser agrees to abide by the Electronic Advertising Policies and Creative Specifications and submission deadlines. Further all of Advertiser’s rights and obligations described above with respect to “advertisements” shall apply equally to Advertiser-provided email content.
B2B Email Campaigns. If Advertiser has purchased a B2B email campaign, then Advertiser may provide CareerBuilder with a suppression file of up to five million of email addresses which we will exclude from Advertiser’s campaign. CareerBuilder will destroy this suppression file within 24 hours of the conclusion of Advertiser’s email campaign. Advertiser’s suppression file must be provided according to our specification
