You can add custom terms to any set of template terms at any time. These terms allow you to customize and define your relationship with partners without using other software or signing additional contracts outside impact.com. Instead, you can copy them (or upload a PDF) into your template term and sign partners using the impact.com platform.
Custom terms supplement the impact.com Master Campaign Agreement that all advertisers and partners agree to. Once they're included in a template term that partners agree to, they're agreeing to your custom terms.
