Compliance with Reporting and Campaign and Tax-Exemption Laws. Service Provider has endeavored to structure its products and Services in a manner that enables Partners to receive Services without participating in or intervening in any political campaign within the meaning of Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations and without making or receiving a contribution that would be reportable to the Federal Election Commission (FEC). However, Partner agrees and acknowledges that Partner is solely responsible for compliance with the laws and regulations relating to Partner’s tax-exempt status (if applicable) and the campaign finance laws to which it may be subject, and that failure to comply with such laws, rules, or regulations may expose Partner to fees, fines, or other liability for which Partner will be solely responsible, and that Partner has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless Service Provider on the terms described in Section 18 for certain claims, fines, penalties, suits, actions, costs, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including attorneys' fees and costs) arising out of or in connection with this Section.
Partner further understands and acknowledges that Service Provider’s products and Services may entail the dissemination of materials which qualify as political advertisements under federal, state or local laws and regulations, and which may require specific disclaimers and reporting. Partner agrees to provide any necessary legal review of all disclaimer and reporting obligations associated with content or advertisements produced by Service Provider, and Partner agrees and acknowledges that Partner is solely responsible for providing any legally-required disclaimers in advertisements or content produced and/or disseminated by Service Provider.
Partner shall provide Service Provider with all legally-required disclaimers – including language, format, placement, and all other legal requirements – prior to the dissemination of any content or advertisements requiring such disclaimers. Partner’s approval for Service Provider to disseminate any content or advertisement shall constitute acknowledgment and certification that Partner has reviewed the content or advertisement for compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
Partner also is solely responsible for complying with reporting obligations associated with content or advertisements produced and/or disseminated by Service Provider, including, but not limited to, “electioneering communications” reporting, “issue advocacy” or “grassroots lobbying” reporting, campaign finance reporting, and any requirements to submit political content, advertisements, or financials to governmental entities. For the removal of doubt, Partner is solely responsible for ensuring that all content or advertisements disseminated by Service Provider as part of the Services complies with all applicable rules, laws, and regulations relating to the applicable content or advertisement.
