Should an action by Client result in removal or disabling of Tracking and this causes Transactions not be recorded, Client agrees to compensate Publishers on the Partner Marketing Network Programme according to their average performance on the Partner Marketing Network Programme over the two (2) weeks prior to the Tracking problem. Client will also pay Tradedoubler Commission on any compensation payments to Publishers in respect of the lost earnings.

5. Invoicing and advance payments

  • Unless prepayment has been agreed in the Service Order, Tradedoubler will invoice Client monthly in arrears and payment shall be made no later than fifteen (15) days from invoice date.​

    • If the balance of the prepayment account is not replenished to the level of the Prepayment Balance by the due date of the invoice referred to above, Tradedoubler is entitled to terminate Client’s use of the Service or suspend access to data. If the use is terminated, Tradedoubler will refund any balance owing to Client after deduction of any fees due to Tradedoubler or the Publishers. If the use is suspended, it only means that access to data is suspended. Transactions will still accrue and be payable during the suspension period.

    • If, during the period for payment of the invoice above, Client’s usage of the Service is such that the remaining balance of the prepayment account is, or is likely to be, entirely depleted, Tradedoubler is entitled to temporarily suspend Client’s access to data, until such time as the prepayment account is replenished to the level of the initial prepayment balance.

​

  • All sums payable under this Agreement are exclusive of Value Added Tax and any other duty or tax, which shall (if and to the extent applicable) be payable by Client.

​

  • If the Partner Marketing Network Programme is international, each Tradedoubler Party will invoice Client for their respective Partner Marketing Network Programme Service and in local currency, unless otherwise specifically agreed in the Service Order.

6. Reclassification of transactions

  • Within the period specified in the Service Order (Validation period for Transactions), counted from the generation of a Transaction, Client will be able to, by using Tradedoubler’s web-based interface or by sending information to Tradedoubler in a form agreed between the Parties, reclassify a Transaction as invalid using pre-defined reasons.

​

  • Within five (5) days from receiving a reasonable request for information relating to an invalidated Transaction submitted by a Publisher through Tradedoubler, Client undertakes to provide the Publisher with an explanation to the reclassification/invalidation and to either confirm the reclassification or to change the classification back to valid.

​

This clause will not be understood to restrict either Party from hiring employees or consultants of the other Party who apply unsolicited in response to a general advertising or other general recruitment campaign. In the event of breach of this clause by a Party, that Party shall pay to the other an amount equivalent to twelve (12) months gross salary for the relevant employee from the date of employment with the breaching Party. The Parties acknowledge that this is a true estimate of their loss in respect of breach of this clause.

​

  • Client shall not, except via Tradedoubler, for the duration of this Agreement and for six (6) months thereafter, enter into any online advertising, or other online commercial arrangements with any Publisher that has been recruited to the AFFILIATE MARKETING NETWORK Program through the Tradedoubler network.
