Publisher framework agreement

The agreement is between friendly media s.r.o. (the “Company”) and you (the “Publisher”).

Preamble

The Company owns, operates and provides the advertising platform on the internet named FriendlyBunny (the “Advertising platform”) which allows registered publishers to participate in partner programs (the “Programs”) of the customers of the Company (the “Advertisers”).

The Company wishes to use the Publisher’s advertising channels and its partner’s (the “Publisher’s partners”) advertising channels to promote, distribute and display the advertising materials of Advertisers. These Advertisers are companies which sell and market their products and services by means of advertising materials such as banners and links etc. over the internet.

The subject of business relation between the Company and the Publisher is the provision of media services by Publisher within Programs to support the Advertisers in the online sale of products and services based on performance.

The Company and the Publisher (together the “Parties”) have agreed to base their business relation on the following Publisher Framework Agreement (the “Agreement”). The Agreement, any and all executed Order Forms (esp. Insertion Orders), together with any addendums thereto, if any, will constitute the entire agreement between the Parties pertaining to the subject matter as mentioned above. The Agreement shall supersede all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations, both written and oral, between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Agreement and any Order Forms, the terms of the Agreement will govern, unless the Order Form both expressly provides otherwise and is signed by the Company.

Now therefore the Parties have expressly agreed as follows:

I. Definition of terms

Account: An account is the legal access, which is attained by the Publisher according to its complete and accurate provision of the registration data, to the Advertising platform after the registration.
Valid Click: A click is valid if a natural person, not identical or attributable to the Publisher, hereinafter referred to as the "user", voluntarily and consciously clicks on a hyperlink, which is attributable to the Publisher, for the Program, thus opening the Advertiser’s linked website. Repeated clicks or clicks which are made sequentially in a short time by the same user – even on different hyperlinks - are not valid. Forced clicks, for purposes other than learning the details of the advertised deal, which are connected with a compulsory action such as the sending of text message, the participation in a prize game or the use of the click in a paid e-mail system, are not permitted without the prior written approval of Company. If such permission has not been given then those clicks, produced as described above, are not counted as valid clicks. Valid clicks are to be recorded, verified and determined by the Company according to his own fair judgment.
Valid Lead: A lead is valid if a user makes a valid click and then voluntarily and consciously conducts a defined action ("qualified action") on the Advertiser’s website. Valid leads are recorded and/or determined as valid clicks with the difference that, concerning the qualified action, these actions are recorded and verified for the Company by the Advertiser’s system and determined by the Company according to his discretion.
Qualified Action: Qualified Action means any type of pre-agreed or predefined activity or result that is sought by the Company, e.g. the completion of an application, registration or other form by user.
Media Services: Media Services means one or more of the online advertising services offered by the Publisher pursuant to an Order Form, including esp. its affiliate marketing or advertising network services.
Advertising Channels: Advertising channels means one or more mediums, e.g. website, email, used or owned by the Publisher or by the Publisher’s partners to advertise the Programs offered.

II. Start and end of the contract relation

The Agreement is valid indefinitely and is effective on the date of Publisher's registration to the Advertising platform. Both Parties have the right to terminate the Agreement in writing by mail or e-mail to other party mail or e-mail address. For the purpose of verification, the e-mail transmission log is to be provided upon demand.
Each party is entitled to make termination for a good cause, esp. in the event of breach of the Agreement.

An obligation is an essential part of a contract if the fulfilment of such an obligation is necessary to attain the goal of the Agreement.
In other respects, the Company will not be subject to any liability whatsoever (e.g. for the Publisher’s loss of profits, loss of data or interruptions or defects in the operation of the Advertising platform) regardless of the legal grounds. This specifically applies in particular when Program conditions change and/or Programs are discontinued during the advertising period. The Company’s liability limits and exclusions apply to his employees, representatives and agents.

The assignment of those end customers, who were procured through the Publisher, is done in some cases through the use of cookies.
