Monthly invoices will reflect final actualized delivery. These line items will not be delivered evenly throughout the campaign.

Media Viewability Exclusions:

The products listed below are excluded from campaign viewability performance goals or requirements:

  • Takeover, Roadblock or SOV Sponsorship placements – These products cannot be optimized for viewability because these products own all the inventory or ad slots in that section or page and therefore, we cannot optimize the product for viewability.
  • Custom responsive Ad units – these products include (but are not limited to) Mobile Interscroller, Mobile slide-by, Edge to Edge, Outstream Video and any BDG built native ad unit. These ad products are non-standard and resize to a user’s screen size and therefore do not have true dimensions. If the product doesn’t have dimensions, it cannot be measured by a 3P viewability vendor because dimensions is a metric needed to measure viewability.
