As the GingerbreAds insists on fair and transparent advertising, not contradicting the law, good manners and ethical rules, to be performed via network of GingerbreAds, the GingerbreAds hereby generally informs the Advertiser on prohibited types of advertisements pursuant to the Directive 2005/29/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11th May 2005, concerning unfair business-to-consumer commercial practices in the internal market (“Directive”). This information is explicitly contained in an annex 1 to these GTC. The GingerbreAds intends to be obliged by the rules contained in the Directive, even though it is a legal regulation outside of GingerreAds's jurisdiction and therefore, it does not directly apply to the GingerbreAds. The Advertiser hereby undertakes to comply with the provisions of the Directive. The Advertiser hereby declares that he/she/it duly read the annex 1 to these GTC and shall be obliged to keep that. The Advertiser shall be obliged to always keep law, good manners and ethical rules set forth by the GingerbreAds (particularly in his/her/its instructions regarding the advertisement, its content etc.).

The Advertiser hereby acknowledges and undertakes to ensure (particularly in his/her/its instructions regarding the advertisement, its content etc.) that the advertisement is not particularly:

The Advertiser also acknowledges that the Directive does not contain all provisions related to regulation on advertising, as for example the Directive contains only general basic standard on advertising (i.e. there might be stricter rules on advertising across the countries). Therefore, the Advertiser shall be obliged to ensure that the advertisement on the product will always be in accordance with law of country, to whose customers the advertisement aims (particularly Advertiser’s instructions regarding particular advertisement etc.).

The Advertiser hereby acknowledges and undertakes to keep (particularly regarding Advertiser’s instructions regarding particular advertisement, its content etc.), that advertising on some types of products has stricter rules than general ones. Such products are particularly medicine, food and dietary supplements, alcoholic beverages, tobacco products, guns and ammunition, medical interventions, financial services, trade with real estates or gambling.

The GingerbreAds shall be entitled to ask the Advertiser to provide, on Advertiser’s costs, a basic research on legal order in respective state, where the advertisement shall aim. In case the Advertiser refuses to provide such research, the GingerbreAds shall be entitled to suspend the provision of the services upon this Co-operation Agreement with an immediate effect.

In order to prevent breaching provisions of the law, good manners and/or ethical rules, the GingerbreAds may prepare list(s) consisting information, including assessment of the regulation on advertising. The GingerbreAds shall be entitled to send these list(s), including GingerbreAds’s instructions reflecting those, to the Advertiser and the Advertiser shall be obliged to keep them (for example, in case of a change of regulation, such instruction may demand from the Advertiser to change his/her/its instructions regarding the advertisement, its content etc).

The GingerbreAds may investigate any delivered complaint to the GingerbreAds or suspend any advertising reported by a third party, if the complaint does not appear to be unjustified. To avoid any doubts, the Advertiser shall not be entitled for any compensation in case of such suspension of the advertising. Without prejudice to other obligations of the Advertiser set forth in these GTC, the Advertiser shall provide the GingerbreAds with all necessary co-operation in order to investigate any delivered complaint and/or to ensure that any advertising is compliant with applicable laws, good manners and ethical rules.

The Advertiser hereby acknowledges, that the GingerbreAds shall be entitled to provide inspections of the advertisements of the Advertiser to prevent breaching provisions of the law, good manners and/or ethical rules by the Advertiser. The Advertiser shall be obliged to provide the GingerbreAds with all co-operation requested.

The Partners involved in the GingerbreAds’s network perform promotion by marketing or other similar activities promotion services, particularly by means of:

The Advertiser shall pay a fee to the GingerbreAds for provision of its services upon the Co-operation Agreement (hereinafter the “Fee”). Payment conditions, including the amount of the Fee shall be determined in the Insertion Order, unless the parties agree otherwise. The Advertiser hereby acknowledges, that a total amount of the Fee depends on the agreed payment conditions in the Insertion Order. The Advertiser hereby acknowledges, that the GingerbreAds shall distribute a respective part of the Fee to the Partners, therefore the Advertiser shall not be obliged to pay any fee to the Partners.

If the parties enter into a further arrangement providing for calculation of the amount of the Fee, its due date and other aspects regarding payment for the services of the GingerbreAds, the contracting parties agree that this potential further arrangement shall prevail over the wording of these GTC.

The parties may agree that the Advertiser will provide the Fee to the GingerbreAds in a form of a prepayment for the given calendar month or other period agreed by the parties in which the co-operation is to take place. In that case, the Advertiser agrees to notify the GingerbreAds of any modifications regarding the prepayment no later than by the first day of the week following the week in which the co-operation took place.

Unless agreed otherwise in the Insertion Order, the Fee shall be paid weekly. In case the Fee is provided in a form of prepayment, the GingerbreAds will provide the Advertiser with weekly calculation of actual amount of the Fee for the previous week. Should the prepayment not cover the actual Fee as calculated according to previous sentence, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith increasing of prepayment. If the parties do not agree on raise of prepayment, the Advertiser will pay the GingerbreAds the actual Fee not covered by the prepayment subject to terms and conditions hereof as if no prepayment was agreed for this amount.

In case the Co-operation Agreement is terminated in accordance hereof and the Advertiser provided the GingerbreAds with prepayment, which has not been used up, the GingerbreAds will return the remaining amount of prepayment to the Advertiser within ten (10) days as of the termination hereof, unless the outstanding amount is negligible and would most probably not even cover the payment transfer costs (in such case, this amount shall be considered as a part of Fee for the last payable period). For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge that the Promotion and corresponding services hereunder may generate conversions for the Advertiser also after the termination of the Co-operation Agreement. The GingerbreAds shall be entitled to receive the Fee for such late conversions, therefore any such late conversions shall be taken into account when calculating the Fee and the amount of prepayment to be returned to the Advertiser.

The GingerbreAds is entitled to issue the respective invoice not sooner than the first day of the period, for which the invoice is to be paid. The Advertiser agrees to pay the Fee to the GingerbreAds no later than by the 3rd calendar day after the date of delivery of the invoice to the Advertiser, unless the parties agree otherwise in the Insertion Order. The Fee shall be paid by wire transfer or through payment service provider, unless agreed otherwise in the Insertion Order.

The Advertiser agrees to inform the GingerbreAds about any objections concerning the amount of the Fee no later than within two (2) business days after receiving the invoice from the GingerbreAds. If the Advertiser does not inform the GingerbreAds about any objections within the deadline under this Article, it shall hold that it agrees with the Fee invoiced by the GingerbreAds.

The GingerbreAds shall provide the Advertiser with its bank account details necessary to perform the wire transfer (domestic or international) or shall notify the Advertiser of its preferred payment service provider pursuant to Art. 6.5 of these GTC (hereinafter the “GingerbreAds’s Account”).

The Advertiser shall pay the Fee in each case in the specified currency (within the meaning of Art. 6.10 of these GTC) into the GingerbreAds’s Account specified in the invoice. In case of any mistake or other error made in connection with the payment of the Fee (e.g. the Advertiser incorrectly entered the GingerbreAds’s account; payment in different currency), the GingerbreAds shall not be held liable for any additional costs incurred as a result of the above (e.g. compensation for exchange rates of different currencies etc.). The Advertiser agrees to bear such additional costs in full amount. In case the additional costs hereunder cause any decrease of the Fee, the GingerbreAds shall be entitled to compensate the difference against the following payments of the Advertiser hereunder. In case of currency conversion, the valid exchange rate of the bank of addressee applied during the transfer shall apply as the decisive rate.

The GingerbreAds and the Partner shall bear no responsibility for activities or any other conduct of the Advertiser regarding the co-operation, and the Advertiser agrees with this.

The GingerbreAds and the Partner shall bear no liability for any event where the relevant performance cannot be provided under the terms of the co-operation due to technical or other reasons caused by force majeure or some other cause independent of the GingerbreAds’s or the Partner’s will (e.g. failure to complete a task due to non-functional hyperlink, server downtime etc.) and the Advertiser agrees with this.

The parties agree to communicate with each other, provide each other with all the information necessary for proper performance of their obligations hereunder, and notify each other of any change in their identification details. The Advertiser shall inform the GingerbreAds of all the decisive facts that are (or might be) fundamental for the GingerbreAds or the Partner in order to assess the suitability of continued co-operation (e.g. imminent insolvency of the Advertiser, inability to pay debts, withdrawal of a licence etc.).

The parties enter into mutual co-operation for an indefinite term. The co-operation might be terminated on the basis of agreement of the parties as of the date agreed by the parties.

The Advertiser shall be entitled to terminate the Co-operation Agreement without stating a reason, upon a notice of termination with a notice period of five (5) business days as of the delivery of the notice of termination to the GingerbreAds.

The GingerbreAds shall be entitled to terminate the Co-operation Agreement without stating a reason as of a date specified by the GingerbreAds in the termination notice, i.e. even with an immediate effect.

In the event of termination of the co-operation on any grounds, the Advertiser agrees to provide for financial settlement with the GingerbreAds within ten (10) business days from the date of termination of the Co-operation Agreement (e.g. payment of the Fee, additional costs etc.).
