During the Term of any IO in effect and for a period of 30 days thereafter, Advertiser agrees that it will not engage, contract with, work with, license, or permit any person, firm, or entity to represent Advertiser in any performance-based advertising relationship with any Publishers within the Network, unless a previously existing business relationship between Advertiser and such Publishers can be demonstrated to RevenueGateway's reasonable satisfaction. In the event a Publisher does contact Advertiser and Advertiser finds out at a later time that such Publisher is a Publisher within Network, then Advertiser shall notify such Publisher immediately that it must work directly with RevenueGateway and immediately halt any marketing campaigns it is conducting with such Publisher. Both parties agree and acknowledge that if Advertiser violates its obligations under this Section 3.3, RevenueGateway will be entitled to liquidated damages in the amount of fifty percent (50%) of the gross revenues resulting from sales conducted by Advertiser through the advertising or marketing efforts of such Publisher(s), in addition to any other remedies RevenueGateway may have at law or in equity. 3.4.

RevenueGateway' sole obligation is to make such suppression list available to its Publishers following its receipt thereof from Advertiser. If Advertiser elects to provide such a suppression list, Advertiser represents and warrants that it has the right to provide such suppression list and the data contained therein to RevenueGateway and to authorize RevenueGateway to provide such suppression list to its Publishers.

Payment will be made based on RevenueGateway's counts based on the tracking pixel or Advertiser's count, whichever is greater. All such records provided by Advertiser shall be the sole property of Advertiser. In the event that the tracking methods employed malfunction or the Advertiser Website is inoperable, for the period in question, invoicing will be determined by RevenueGateway in its sole discretion. 4.3.
