The term “New Construction Products” means the following products: (1) the Promoted Communities Advertising Product (the “PC Product”); (2) the Promoted Communities Select Advertising Product (the “PC Select Product”); (3) the Ad Products (defined in Section 3.3).
3.1 Promoted Communities Advertising Product
A. Promoted Community. If Advertiser has one or more communities of Inventory for individual sale (each a “Community”) then Advertiser is eligible to purchase the PC Product.

A “Promoted Community” means a Community included in the Inventory that Advertiser wishes to advertise using the PC Product or PC Select Product.
B. Delivery of Advertising Materials. Unless otherwise agreed between the parties, Advertiser must send their PC Inventory and other Advertising Materials for the Product to Zillow in the following ways:

Advertiser may pause a Promoted Community once during the Term for up to 30 days. If Advertiser has not restarted the paused Promoted Community at the end of the 30 day period, Zillow may terminate this Agreement and require Advertiser to sign a new Order Form (subject to the then-current rate card) to advertise such Inventory using the PC Product.
D. Listing Connect. If Advertiser has purchased the PC Product, then Advertiser will be enrolled in Zillow’s Listing Connect feature (“Listing Connect”). Advertiser may withdraw Advertiser’s participation in Listing Connect at any time by emailing Advertiser’s Zillow account representative. While Advertiser remains enrolled in Listing Connect, Advertiser authorizes Zillow to (i) connect each Inventory participating in the PC Product to the Inventory’s entry in a multiple listing service (each an “MLS Listing”) so Zillow can include the MLS Listing in Advertiser’s Promoted Community and (ii) display the Inventory participating in the PC Product on the Zillow Sites using the Advertising Materials provided through Advertiser’s direct feed or NHF account rather than the Advertising Materials obtained from the MLS Listing. Advertiser acknowledges that Zillow may not be able to connect each Inventory participating in the PC Product to its MLS Listing or that such connection will happen in a timely manner. If Zillow is unable to connect an Inventory participating in the PC Product to its MLS Listing, then Advertiser may attempt to manually connect the Inventory to the MLS Listing using the Listing Connect fields in Advertiser’s Direct Feed or NHF account. Any information that Zillow receives or uses in connection with Advertiser’s use of Listing Connect is considered Advertising Materials.

The total PC Product fees that Advertiser pays each month may change based on the number of active Promoted Communities that Advertiser chooses to display each month. The PC Rate is the same regardless of the number of Inventory in each Promoted Community. Unless otherwise set forth on the Order Form, if a Promoted Community is advertised on the Zillow Sites for less than 100% of the month, Advertiser will be billed the pro rata PC Rate for that Promoted Community.
3.2 Promoted Communities Select Advertising Product
A. The PC Select Product. If Advertiser has a Community then Advertiser is eligible to purchase the PC Select Product. If Advertiser purchased the PC Select Product, Advertiser will pay Zillow the flat monthly fee per Promoted Community (the “Base Fee”) specified on the Order Form to display each piece of Inventory that Advertiser sends to Zillow on a home details page, as well as on certain search results pages, as determined by a Zillow user’s search preferences and (2) the advertising charge per Lead (“Cost per Lead”), up to the maximum monthly spend on Leads for each Promoted Community (the “Lead Budget”).
B. Delivery of Advertising Materials. Unless otherwise agreed between the parties, Advertiser must send their Advertising Materials for the PC Select Product to Zillow in the following ways:
C. Listing Connect. If Advertiser has purchased the PC Select Product, then Advertiser will be enrolled in Listing Connect. Advertiser may withdraw Advertiser’s participation in Listing Connect at any time by emailing Advertiser’s Zillow account representative. While Advertiser remains enrolled in Listing Connect, Advertiser authorizes Zillow to (i) connect each Inventory participating in the PC Select Product to such Inventory’s MLS Listing so Zillow can include the MLS Listing in Advertiser’s Promoted Community and (ii) display the Inventory participating in the PC Select Product on the Zillow Sites using the Advertising Materials provided through Advertiser’s direct feed or NHF account rather than the Advertising Materials obtained from the MLS Listing. Advertiser acknowledges that Zillow may not be able to connect each piece of Inventory participating in the PC Select Product to its MLS Listing or that such connection will happen in a timely manner. If Zillow is unable to connect a piece of Inventory participating in the PC Select Product to its MLS Listing, then Advertiser may attempt to manually connect the Inventory to the MLS Listing using the Listing Connect fields in Advertiser’s Direct Feed or NHF account. Any information that Zillow receives or uses in connection with Advertiser’s use of Listing Connect is considered Advertising Materials.
D. Builder Dashboard. By purchasing the PC Select Product, Advertiser will receive access to Builder Dashboard. Advertiser’s use of the Builder Dashboard is governed by this Agreement.
E. Payment for the PC Select Product. Unless otherwise set forth on the Order Form, Advertiser will pay Zillow on a monthly basis, subject to Section 4 below, the Base Fee and Cost per Lead up to the Lead Budget to advertise each Promoted Community. The total PC Select Product fees that Advertiser pays each month may change based on the number of active Promoted Communities that Advertiser chooses to display each month, the Cost per Lead, or the Lead Budget. The Base Fee is the same regardless of the number of Inventory in each Promoted Community. Unless otherwise set forth on the Order Form, if a Promoted Community is advertised on the Zillow Sites for less than 100% of the month, Advertiser will be billed the pro rata Base Fee for that Promoted Community and the Cost per Lead up to the Lead Budget.
3.3 Promoted Homes Advertising Product
A. Promoted Home. If Advertiser purchased the PH Product, Zillow will display each piece of Inventory that Advertiser sends to Zillow on a home details page, as well as on certain search results pages, as determined by a Zillow user’s search preferences.

B. Delivery of Advertising Materials. Unless otherwise agreed between the parties, Advertiser must send their Inventory and other Advertising Materials for the PH Product to Zillow through Zillow or one of Zillow’s third-party feed partners (each a “PH Feed Partner”). Commencing on the Effective Date and at all times during which Advertiser remains enrolled in the PH Product, Zillow will pay the PH Feed Partner’s monthly fee for one account to send Advertiser’s Inventory to Zillow for display on the Zillow Sites (“PH Feed Partner Subscription Fees”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Advertiser is no longer enrolled in the PH Product, Zillow may, at any time and in its sole discretion, either (i) cancel Advertiser’s Zillow sponsored account with the PH Feed Partner or (ii) require Advertiser to reimburse Zillow for any and all PH Feed Partner Subscription Fees associated with Advertiser’s Zillow sponsored account with the PH Feed Partner.
C. Adding or Removing Promoted Homes. Advertiser may add, pause, or remove a Promoted Home from the PH Product at any time through Advertiser’s account in the PH Feed Partner’s dashboard. Advertiser may pause a Promoted Home’s campaign under the PH product for up to 90 days. If Advertiser has no active Inventory and has not restarted the paused campaign at the end of the 90 day period, Zillow may cancel this Agreement and Advertiser will need to sign a new Order Form (subject to the then-current rate card) to advertise such Promoted Home using the PH Product.
D. Payment for PHL Product. Unless otherwise set forth on the Order Form, Advertiser will pay Zillow, subject to Section 4 below, the flat monthly advertising charge based on the Max Monthly Listing Count, as described further and defined in the Order Form (the “PH Rate”), to advertise each Promoted Home.
3.4 Ad Products. The term “Ad Products” means the following products: Builder Boost (“Boost Ad”), Boost Precision Targeting (“BoostPT Ad”), Boost Featured Listings (“Featured Listings Ad”), Boost Rent (“BoostRT Ad”), Boost Adult Community (“Adult Community Ad”), and Boost Luxury (“BoostLUX Ad”).
A. Display of Ad Products. If Advertiser has purchased an Ad Product, Zillow will display the ads for that Ad Product as described below. Any agreed upon targeting (geo or otherwise) will only be applied to Ad Products placed on the Zillow Sites if Zillow agrees to such targeting. Zillow will have the sole right to determine the placement and location of any delivered Ad Product.
B. Advertising Materials. Zillow will use the Advertising Materials to create ads for each Ad Product that Advertiser purchases. Zillow will continue to run the same ads for as long as Advertiser remains enrolled in an Ad Product and will not update the ads until Advertiser provides Zillow with updated or revised Advertising Materials. During the Term, Zillow will have no responsibility to request updated Advertising Materials.
C. Payment for Ad Products. At all times during which Advertiser remains enrolled in the Ad Product, Advertiser will pay Zillow, subject to Section 4 below, the charge for each Ad, as specified in the Order Form and based on Advertiser’s monthly spend cap. Unless otherwise stated on the Order Form, all Ad Products other than the Facebook component of BoostPT Ads will be served by Zillow’s third-party ad server and billed off Zillow reporting. All BoostPT Ads will be served and billed through the Facebook ad server.
D. Delivery of Impressions. Advertiser understands that, although the Ad Products sold on an impressions basis may include an estimate of how many times an ad will be displayed each month, Zillow cannot guarantee that impressions of the ad will be uniformly distributed during any month or that the estimated number of impressions will be delivered during the Term. In the event that an Order Form guarantees an aggregate number of impressions and the corresponding Ad Product does not receive the guaranteed number of impressions during the Term, Advertiser’s sole remedy will be for Zillow to, at Zillow’s sole discretion: (i) provide the outstanding impressions following the end of the Term if the Advertiser pre-paid for the guaranteed impressions; or (ii) only charge Advertiser for the impressions delivered if the Advertiser is paying for impressions in arrears on a monthly basis. Advertiser understands that users of the Advertisement Sites, automated computers, third-parties, Facebook Sites, and Zillow itself may generate views, impressions, or clicks on Advertiser’s ads for proper or improper purposes. Zillow has priced the Ad Products with this risk in mind and Advertiser accepts this risk in purchasing the Ad Products.
E. Additional BoostPT Ad Terms. In the event Advertiser purchased BoostPT Ads, the additional terms in this Section 3.3(E) apply.
4.1. New Order Form. If Advertiser is an existing customer of a New Construction Product(s) and the Order Form sets forth a different rate/fee for the New Construction Product(s) than what Advertiser is currently paying under a different order form, the new rate/fee changes set forth on the Order Form will go into effect the first day of the calendar month immediately following the Effective Date of the Order Form.
4.2. Payment. Unless otherwise set forth on the Order Form, Advertiser will be charged in accordance with this Agreement for the applicable New Construction Product on a per calendar month basis based on the total New Construction Products purchased and active during the preceding calendar month.

Any billing inquiries should be directed to ap@zillowgroup.com.
D. Late Fees. All unpaid fees that are not successfully disputed are subject to the lesser of a 1% late fee per month or the maximum rate allowed under applicable law. In addition to its other rights under law, Zillow may terminate any New Construction Product and/or discontinue Services for any amounts which are not paid within 30 days of Advertiser’s receipt of the invoice. Outstanding balances and fees must be paid in full to reinstate service from termination at Zillow’s discretion.
E. Advertiser’s Use of a Third Party. If Advertiser requests Zillow to bill through a third party, then Advertiser will pay for any fees incurred by Zillow for billing Advertiser through that third party.
F. Credit Card. If Advertiser is paying by credit card, Zillow will charge Advertiser’s credit card following the completion of each calendar month for the Services delivered during such calendar month. Advertiser acknowledges that its credit card is not present and authorizes Zillow to charge Advertiser’s credit card on file for the Services provided during the Term. Advertiser acknowledges and agrees that any credit card and related billing and payment information that Advertiser provides to Zillow may be shared by Zillow with companies who work on Zillow’s behalf, such as payment processors and/or credit agencies, solely for the purposes of checking credit, effecting payment to Zillow, and servicing Advertiser’s account

5.3. Early Termination Fee. Advertiser may terminate this Agreement at any time during the Initial Term but will be obligated to pay Zillow a cancellation fee equal to the monthly fees due for the month immediately preceding the date of termination plus the monthly fees due for the then-current month. If Advertiser is paying for its New Construction Products via credit card, Zillow will automatically charge Advertiser’s credit card with such cancellation fee.
5.4. Multiple New Construction Products.

Except as set forth in these Terms, any notices to Zillow must be sent to Zillow, Inc., New Construction Department, 1301 Second Avenue, Floor 31, Seattle, WA 98101, with a copy to Zillow Legal Department, 1301 Second Avenue, Floor 31, Seattle, WA 98101, via registered mail with return receipt or air mail or overnight courier, and are deemed given upon receipt. Notice to Advertiser may be affected by sending an email to the email address specified on the Order Form and is deemed received when sent (for email). This Agreement may be executed by electronic signature. A waiver of any breach is not a waiver of any subsequent breach. Unenforceable provisions will be modified to reflect the parties’ intention and only to the extent necessary to make them enforceable, and remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full effect. The parties intend for their relationship to be that of independent contractors in their performance of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to create any employment, association, partnership, joint venture, principal-agent, or other relationship between the parties. Neither party will have any right or authority to bind the other party. In the event that this Agreement or a/any New Construction Product is terminated, Zillow will not be obligated to return any materials to Advertiser.
