Unless otherwise specified in the applicable Order Form, Services are purchased as subscriptions and the Services are limited to the specified capacity as described in the Order Form.

3 Support and Service Levels

3.1 The Services

Adnuntius shall provide support for the Services and use commercially reasonable efforts to make critical support available, all in order to abide by response and resolution targets as described here.

Exceptions are: (a) planned downtime, of which Adnuntius shall give at least 2 business days’ notice by email to Customer’s system administrator, and which Adnuntius shall schedule to the extent practical during the weekend hours from 9:00pm Central European Time (CET) Friday to 2:00pm CET Sunday, or (b) any unavailability caused by circumstances beyond Adnuntius’ reasonable control, including without limitation Force Majeure events.

3.2 Connected Services and Content

The Services may provide connections to other service providers such as for example (but not limited to) demand-side platforms, supply-side platforms, CRM systems and reporting tools. Support, service levels, access and uptime as described in this Section 3 shall cover only the Services and integrations delivered by Adnuntius directly. For any support and service levels for other service providers connected to the Services, customer shall rely on any terms and conditions agreed on between Customer and that service provider. If Adnuntius for any reason provides access to another service provider through its own accounts, the Parties may agree on separate terms and conditions for those services, either specified in the applicable Order Form or in a separate document signed by the Parties.

The Services may include access to purchase content from other customers and content providers (hereafter referred to as Publishers). Publishers may freely add or remove content for purchase, and Adnuntius shall only be responsible for providing access to purchase whatever content is made available by Publishers, and not be responsible for the content itself, as this is fully owned and managed by Publishers.

4 Customer Responsibilities

4.1 Customer Data

Customer is responsible for (a) Customer’s and Users’ use of the Services, and (b) the appropriateness and legality of all Customer Data. Customer acknowledges that Adnuntius acts as a mere technological carrier and is not responsible for the content of the Customer Data or for evaluating the appropriateness of the Customer Data in relation to the environment where they are disclosed or published.

4.2 Privacy

Customer will have and abide by an appropriate privacy policy and will comply with all applicable laws relating to the collection and use of information from Public Users to the Services. Customer shall have a privacy policy on its site(s) and that policy shall include sufficient notice of its use of cookies and other tracking mechanisms that collect Public User information, and that these data can be shared with third parties for relevant purposes such as (but not limited to) personalization, marketing, and advertising. The policy must also include a clear option for Public Users to opt in or out of being tracked if applicable laws requires Customer to do so.

4.3 Data Processing Agreement

The Parties shall, if required by law, enter into a Data Processing Agreement that secures adequate safeguards with respect to the protection of privacy and fundamental rights and freedoms of data subjects, that describe the relationship between controller and processor, and ensures that the Parties follow applicable data protection law.

4.4 Promotion

Some of the Services offered by Adnuntius may have a low risk cost model, meaning that there are little fixed prices or minimums, and that the cost of the Services may be a share of the revenue generated for Customer. In such cases, Customer agrees to, as may be reasonably expected, market those Services to the parties that generate that revenue, with the intent to secure profitable business for both Parties. An example is, but is not limited to: if Customer licensenses the Service "Adnuntius Self-Service" and the cost model is primarily revenue share, then Customer shall make potential self-service advertisers aware of that Service through, for example, digital advertising and other promotion on its digital properties.

5 Fees and Payments

5.1 Fees

Customer shall pay all fees specified in all Order Forms, addendums and amendments hereunder in consideration for Adnuntius’ provision of the Services.

If any amount owed by Customer under this or any other agreement for the Services is 30 or more days overdue , Adnuntius may, without limiting Adnuntius’ other rights and remedies under this Agreement and/or applicable laws, accelerate Customer’s unpaid fee obligations under such agreements so that all such obligations become immediately due and payable, and suspend the Services to Customer until the fees are paid in full.

5.6 Taxes

Unless otherwise stated on invoices, the Adnuntius fees do not include any taxes, levies, duties or similar governmental assessments of any nature, including but not limited to value-added, sales, use or withholding taxes, assessable by any local, state, provincial, federal or foreign jurisdiction (collectively “Taxes“). Customer is responsible for paying all Taxes associated with Customer’s purchases hereunder. If Adnuntius has the legal obligation to pay or collect Taxes for which Customer is responsible under this clause, the appropriate amount shall be invoiced to and paid by Customer, unless Customer provides Adnuntius with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority. For clarity, Adnuntius is solely responsible for Taxes assessable against it based on Adnuntius’ income, property, and employees.
