# Contracts

A *contract* links an [owner](/user/docs/new-tap-user-guide-glossary#owner)’s and [reseller](/user/docs/new-tap-user-guide-glossary#reseller)’s flights so that a reseller can offer the owner's inventory to [buyers](/user/docs/new-tap-user-guide-glossary#buyer). Use **TAP > Ads > Contracts** to initiate and view contracts:

- Resellers: Create and manage contracts, and customize [VAST tags](/docs/contracts#vast-tag).
- Owners: View the contracts on the inventory you have delegated to resellers.

> [!NOTE]
> Reach Extension is an optional feature

## Contracts for Resellers

### Create a Contract

Only resellers can create contracts. Triton does not notify the owner of new contracts. However the contract appears on the owner's contracts.

> [!NOTE]
> Once the contract is saved, its status is **Active** unless you select **Create as draft** before saving. An active contract does not deliver until the owner creates a corresponding [Reseller Advertiser](/user/docs/reseller-advertiser), and creates a campaign and flight using that reseller Advertiser.

1. Go to **TAP > Ads > Contracts**, select **My Contracts** tab, then select **+New contract**.
2. In the **New contract** form, enter the necessary information that appears.
3. Give the contract a name. Use a name that will be easy to identify in the **Contracts** list.
4. Select the **Inventory owner** from the drop-down list. You can select only one owner per contract.
5. Enter a date range for the contract. **Start date** cannot be earlier than today. **End date** is optional.
6. Enter the **Pricing CPM**.
7. Optional: Select **Create as draft**.
8. Select **Create contract**.
9. As a best practice, we recommend that you coordinate with the owner so that they can create their counterpart campaign and flight.

### Draft Contracts

When a contract is saved as a **Draft:**

- It will not be visible to the inventory owner until the status is changed to **Active**.
- It cannot be used in a flight until the status is changed to **Active**.
- It can be modified as long as its status is **Draft**.

### Edit a Contract

To edit a contract, select the contract in the contracts list, or select **Edit contract** from the options menu on the right.

- If the contract is **Active**:
  - You cannot change **Pricing CPM**.
  - You can change **Contract name**.
  - You can change **End date**.
  - You can change **Start date** if the contract has not yet started.
- If the contract is a **Draft**, you can change any aspect of the contract.

### Archive a Contract

As a reseller, you can archive a contract by selecting **Archive contract** from the contract's **Options** menu.

- If you archive a contract before its end date, all campaigns targeting the contract stop delivering.
- To see your archived contracts, select **All** in **Quick filters**.
- To re-activate an archived contract, find it in **My contracts**, edit the contract, and select **Active** from the **Status** menu.

## Contracts for Inventory Owners

As an an inventory owner, you can see active and done contracts that a reseller created with you in **Contracts on my inventory** at **TAP > Ads > Contracts**. This list functions the same way and has the same features as other [module lists in the TAP user interface](/user/docs/tap-user-interface#module-lists).

As an inventory owner, you cannot change the status of a contract. Only resellers can change the status.

### View Contract Details

To view a contract, select it in **Contracts on my inventory**, or select **View contract** from the **Options** menu. Contact details include the **Publisher ID**, which is the same as the **Reseller ID** column in the list of contracts.
