Advertiser Account Information

These terms and conditions (the “Terms”), together with the Advertiser/Merchant Insertion Order and Campaign Details above or overleaf (as the case may be) (together, the “Order”) and any other document specifically referred to in the Terms and the Order, sets out the whole agreement between you (the “Advertiser”) and Appoddo (“Appoddo”) for the supply of those services specified or referred to in the Order (the “Services”). The Advertiser acknowledges that it has not relied on any statement, promise or representation made or given by or on behalf of Appoddo which is not set out in the Contract. In the event of a conflict between the Order and these Terms, the Order shall prevail.

1. Appoddo’s Obligations

1.1 Appoddo shall supply the Services to the Advertiser in accordance with the campaign details as set out above or overleaf (as the case may be) (the “Campaign”) in all material respects.

1.2 Appoddo shall use all reasonable endeavours to meet any performance dates specified in the Campaign, but any such dates shall be estimates only and time shall not be of the essence for performance of the Services.

1.3 Appoddo shall have the right to make any changes to the Services which are necessary to comply with any applicable law, or which do not materially affect the nature or quality of the Services provided, and Appoddo shall notify the Advertiser in any such event.

1.4 Appoddo warrants to the Advertiser that the Services will be provided using reasonable care and skill.

2. Advertiser’s Obligations

2.1 The Advertiser shall:

1. ensure that the terms of the Order and any information it provides in the Campaign are complete and accurate;
2. co-operate with Appoddo in all matters relating to the Services;
3. provide Appoddo with such information and materials as Appoddo may reasonably require in order to provide the Services, and ensure that such information is accurate in all material respects; and
4. obtain and maintain all necessary licences, permissions and consents which may be required before the date on which the Services are to start.

2.2 If Appoddo’s performance of any of its obligations under the Contract (as defined below) is prevented or delayed by any act or omission by the Advertiser or failure by the Advertiser to perform any relevant obligation (“Advertiser Default”):

1. Appoddo shall without limiting its other rights or remedies have the right to suspend performance of the Services until the Advertiser remedies the Advertiser Default, and to rely on the Advertiser Default to relieve it from the performance of any of its obligations to the extent the Advertiser Default prevents or delays Appoddo’s performance of any of its obligations;
2. Appoddo shall not be liable for any costs or losses sustained or incurred by the Advertiser arising directly or indirectly from Appoddo’s failure or delay to perform any of its obligations as set out in this clause 2.2; and

3. Term

3.1 The Order constitutes an offer by the Advertiser to purchase the Services in accordance with these Terms (which apply to the exclusion of any other terms that the Advertiser seeks to impose or incorporate, or which are implied by trade, custom, practice or course of dealing). The Order shall only be deemed to be accepted when Appoddo signs the Order, or if sooner when Appoddo start to provide the Services, at which point and on which date a contract between Appoddo and the Advertiser for the delivery of the Services (the “Contract”) shall come into existence.

4. Account Term

4.1 Advertisers must pay for the Services in advance of such Services being provided, unless Appoddo agrees to provide the Advertiser with an account.

4.2 The Advertiser agrees that Appoddo may pass the Advertiser’s information to credit reference agencies and that Appoddo and such agencies may keep a record of any search that they do.

4.3 Appoddo shall be entitled to refuse any such account application and at any time to revoke without notice any account facilities, which it may previously have allowed and in either case to give reasons for its action or not as it in its absolute discretion shall think fit.

4.4 Appoddo reserves the right to suspend all Services until a payment has been received to bring the account balance to the Opening Balance. Appoddo will notify the Advertiser of the Opening Balance required prior to opening the account and from time to time as that limit is revised. The Opening Balance may be increased or the account facility withdrawn at the absolute discretion of Appoddo if in its opinion the account is not maintained in good order or if information is received from a credit reference agency suggesting an increase in the Opening Balance required (or withdrawal of the account facility) should be made.

5. Payment Terms

5.1 All amounts payable by the Advertiser under the Contract are exclusive of amounts in respect of VAT chargeable for the time being. Where any taxable supply for VAT purposes is made under the Contract by Appoddo to the Advertiser, the Advertiser shall, on receipt of a valid VAT invoice from Appoddo, pay to Appoddo such additional amounts in respect of VAT as are chargeable on the supply of the Services at the same time as payment is due for the supply of the Services.

5.2 Without limiting any other right or remedy of Appoddo, if the Advertiser fails to make any payment due to Appoddo under the Contract by the due date for payment being 30 days from the date of invoice the “Due Date”), Appoddo shall have the right to charge interest on the overdue amount. Interest shall be calculated in accordance with the Late Payments of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998 (as amended). Such interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. The Advertiser shall pay the interest together with the overdue amount. Appoddo reserves the right to refer any overdue amount to a third party agency or firm for collection and to add all and any costs associated with such referral to the overdue amount.

5.3 The Advertiser shall pay all amounts due under the Contract in full without any deduction or withholding unless Appoddo fails to comply with the advertising guide lines & banner restrictions which may result in the advertiser withholding payment for that month’s period for all traffic supplied by the source in breach.

5.4 Appoddo’s records shall be final as to determine qualified leads or sales passed. Any dispute that the Advertiser may have with the validity of qualified leads or sales must be made within ten (10) calendar days from the date of the invoice (the “Dispute Period”) in conformance with these Terms. Upon receipt of details of the dispute from the Advertiser, Appoddo shall act in good faith to attempt to resolve it.

6. Creatives

6.1 All creative is subject to review by Appoddo, and Appoddo reserves the right to reject any advertisement at any time. Appoddo’s acceptance of creative shall not be considered an acknowledgement of the legality of the same for which the Advertiser shall at all times be responsible.

7. Advertiser Representations

7.1 The Advertiser represents and warrants that its performance and/or any creative under the Contract will not (a) invade the right of privacy or publicity of any third person, (b) contain any libellous, obscene, indecent or otherwise unlawful material, or (c) otherwise infringe the rights of any third parties, including, but not limited to, such violations as infringement or misappropriation of any copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret, or other intellectual proprietary or property right, false advertising, unfair competition, defamation, invasion of rights of celebrity, violation of any anti-discriminatory law or regulation, or any other right of any person or entity. The Advertiser further represents and warrants that it is and will remain duly licensed, authorized and certified by all applicable governmental regulatory authorities to operate its business.

10.2 All Intellectual Property Rights and all other rights in the offers shall be owned by the Advertiser. The Advertiser hereby licenses all such rights to Appoddo free of charge and on a
