Abstract:
Systems and methods for the creation and management of rules for the governance of revenue sharing are disclosed herein. Generally, the system and methods generate, based on a publisher's input, at least one financial term override object. The financial term override object comprises a set of rules that override a default set of rules to govern how revenue is divided between a partner and a publisher when a supplemental content object is displayed by a partner. The financial term override object is stored in a database. After storing the financial term override object, the financial term override object is associated with the publisher and the partner. A revenue shared owed to the partner is then calculated based on the override set of rules.
