  1. Services

    This Agreement governs the terms and conditions pursuant to which TRINITY’s services (“TRINITY’s Services”) shall include a feature (the “Streaming Feature”) to be embedded into Websites and Mobile Applications.

In addition to activating the Streaming Feature via an icon embedded alongside the Text displayed on Websites and Mobile Applications, TRINITY may place links in any website and/or mobile application that will redirect End Users to Websites and/or Mobile Applications displaying the Text and enable such End Users to access the Speech via the Streaming Feature.
    Advertising Products displayed pursuant to the Streaming Feature, whether activated by End Users via the icon appearing alongside the Text or pursuant to a link (for example in Publisher’s channel in the music/audio platforms) that redirects End Users to such Websites and/or Mobile Applications displaying the Text, shall entitle the parties to receive Revenues based on the actual reporting system of TRINITY in accordance with the Pricing Model set forth in the Insertion Order.
    TRINITY will provide the Service solely in the Geos and Domains agreed upon in writing between the parties. TRINITY reserves the right (but is not required or obligated) to withhold or refuse rendering the TRINITY Services on any Website or Mobile Application in case PUBLISHER uses the TRINITY’s Services not in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Should Publisher allegedly engage in any deceptive or fraudulent activity, TRINITY may immediately revoke any and all right Publisher may have under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the right to receive Revenues derived from such fraudulent activity, and may immediately terminate Publisher’s account, in addition to any other remedies that may be available to TRINITY under any applicable law.
