2. Self-serve use.

We provide you with access to our Self-Serve Ads platform for Promoted Ads. You will pay for all impressions, transactions and/or clicks on your ads that we deliver, as stated in your online account. Promoted Ads are displayed on a space-available basis and are not guaranteed to appear on the Pepper Platform. 

3. Placement of Ads.

a. Ordering a Promoted Ad.

You can select your desired Pepper Platform when ordering Promoted Ads so that they can be served to the right audience.

When placing your order, you select the deal(s) you want to promote, the listing in which your Promoted Ad will be displayed, the start date and end date as well as the start time and end time of the Promoted Ad, and the number of impressions you want to receive (i.e. the number of times your deal(s) will be displayed to users), which directly impacts the amount you spend. If we accept your order, we will deliver your advertisements as soon as advertising space becomes available. 

Your advertisements must comply with all applicable laws, regulations and guidelines. Failure to comply can lead to a variety of consequences, including cancelling the ads you run and terminating your account.

b. Ad Delivery.

When delivering your advertisement, we will position your selected deal(s) in any of our ads slots in the chosen listing. This will not have any influence on the organic impressions received in any of the relevant listing(s) of the Pepper Platform. We determine the size and positioning of your advertisements and the scheduling of the delivery depends on the availability and may not be continuous. We will do our best to deliver the number of impressions you have selected. 

We do not guarantee reach or performance for your advertisements, such as for example, the number of people who will see your ads or the number of clicks they will get.We cannot control how clicks are generated for your ads. We use systems that try to identify and filter certain click activities. However, we are not responsible for click fraud, technical problems, or other potentially invalid click activity that could affect the cost of serving ads.We also offer tools to inform our users about how advertising works on Pepper and how to control it. These tools may affect your ability to serve these users or prevent them from seeing your advertisements.

Our licence to serve your ad ends when we have completed your assignment. However, you are aware that:

The content that was the object of the advertisement can still be accessed on the relevant Pepper Platform, from the different deal and voucher listings.

The ad may still persist on our products once users have interacted with it.

From time to time we need to test improvements to our target audiences and delivery systems, which could affect your advertising. With the help of these tests, we want to improve the effectiveness of your ad performance. We reserve the right to conduct tests if we believe they are beneficial to the advertiser's performance.

c. Pausing, stopping or cancelling an order.

You can pause, stop or cancel an order at any time. However, your ads may still be displayed for 24 hours after you let us know. In this case, you are still responsible for paying for all advertisements that appear.

We may automatically stop delivering your ads in the event where the promoted content is no longer available, for any reason.

4. Charges, fees, payment and taxes.

a. Billing account.

To place orders you must have activated and linked an approved billing account to your advertiser account or chosen to pay through a designated affiliate network, subject to our acceptance, as part of the onboarding process.

By creating a billing account, you authorize us to obtain your personal and/or business credit report from a credit reporting agency either at the time you place your order or at any time thereafter.

You guarantee that the information and data you provide as part of the setup of your billing account is correct and remains correct until you update your existing billing account or create a new billing account (required for each separate legal entity).

We will automatically review your billing account information prior to approving the billing account details. We may reject your billing account information should the information appear to be incorrect during the account creation process or close your billing account at any time if it becomes clear that the information provided in your billing account is incorrect.

If you cancel your billing account or your billing account is cancelled by Pepper you will not be able to book future advertisements with Pepper until a new billing account is created and linked to your advertising account on Pepper Business. All existing advertisements not yet billed will be billed to the cancelled billing account details at the end of the billing cycle.

b. Payment and taxes.

You will pay for all impressions, transactions and/or clicks on your ads that we deliver. You will not be charged for organic impressions. Transactions and/or clicks are being charged for separately, and are subject to the Editorial Service Terms & Conditions.

You will pay all amounts stated in each individual order you place as well as any applicable taxes. The amount you owe for each order is calculated on the basis of  the number of delivered ad impressions, measured through our tracking mechanisms. 

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your advertising account and understand that you will be billed for any orders placed on or through your advertising account.

The amounts that we will invoice you may be subject to taxes and duties and include the corresponding amounts due, such as withholding taxes. You are responsible for bearing and paying any taxes applicable to your transactions. You release us from any claim that arises from your failure to do so and hold us harmless.If your payment method fails or your account is overdue, we may take additional measures to collect any overdue amounts. You agree to pay all costs associated with such collection, including reasonable legal fees. Overdue amounts accrue interest of 1% per month or the legally permitted maximum, whichever is lower.

c. Payment methods.

Depending on your payment method, you belong to one of two categories: customer with invoice if you have set up a billing account or customer without invoice if you have chosen to pay through a designated affiliate network, which is subject to our acceptance. 

If you are a customer with an invoice, we set a maximum spending limit on your advertiser account and you will regularly receive invoices for payment in accordance with the applicable billing conditions. You will pay all undisputed charges in full within thirty (30) calendar days of the invoice date unless otherwise specified. 

If you are a customer without invoice, you are responsible for ensuring the payment is made by your designated affiliate network within thirty (30) calendar days from the creation of the monthly advertising report from Pepper Business which will detail the amount due. 

In both cases, failure to make payment within 30 days may result in your advertiser account being temporarily suspended or permanently terminated. If you are a customer without invoice, the option to pay through a designated affiliate network may also be removed. Should this occur, we have the right to directly invoice you for all outstanding invoices.

5. Performance reports.

We will provide you with reports that will allow you to assess the performance of your ads. These reports contain information about the number of impressions and clicks your ads received, measured through our tracking mechanisms. You are responsible for tracking any other metric you deem necessary.

At the disclosing party’s request, the receiving party assists the disclosing party in obtaining an order protecting the confidential information from public disclosure.

Except as set forth herein, upon expiration or termination of the Terms and Conditions, or upon the reasonable request of either party, the receiving party shall promptly return or destroy all confidential information of the other party and any copies of the confidential information of the other party to its owner.
