Makegoods for Programmatic Guaranteed deals

If a Programmatic Guaranteed deal does not meet the originally agreed-upon terms or performance, you or the publisher can choose to request/create a Makegood on that deal. Once you and the publisher have agreed to the terms of the Makegood, you can accept and configure it like you would a typical Programmatic Guaranteed deal.

As Makegoods have the full functionality of a regular Programmatic Guaranteed deal, they carry programmatic fees for both you and the publisher. The CPM is carried over from the original deal for the purposes of calculating the Makegoods fees. Aside from the programmatic fees, you will not be charged for the impressions delivered on a Makegood deal.
