5. Fees and Payment
- The Services are provided on either a monthly or on an annual basis (the “Plan”) in accordance with the fees applicable from time to time as set out on the Website and/or the Platform (the “Subscription Fee”).
- Automatic renewal periods corresponding to the length of the chosen Plan will commence automatically, unless the Customer cancels their Plan at least 30 days prior to the expiry of the Plan, or as otherwise agreed upon between Albacross and the Customer. It is the Customer’s responsibility to cancel the Plan within this period. Cancellation is completed on the Platform. You may choose to cancel your Plan early at your convenience, but please note that Albacross will not provide any refund of prepaid Subscription Fees or other fees, and that you will pay all unpaid fees due through the end of the Plan.
- In addition to the Subscription Fee, the Customer has the option to purchase credits on a one-time basis, which can be used within the Services, as further described on our Webpage and/or Platform.
- The Subscription Fee and any other fees related to the Services can be paid by any one of the payment options offered on our Website. If you choose to pay by credit card, you are obliged to submit the necessary credit card information. The credit card will thereafter be charged as per your Plan. If you choose to pay by invoice, payment shall be due 14 days from the date of the invoice, or as otherwise agreed by Albacross and you.
- Late payment shall be subject to the addition of interest in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Swedish Interest Act (Sw. Räntelagen).
- If means of payment are not provided by you on the day of payment, we reserve the right to freeze your account (meaning that you will not be able to access any of our Services) and invoice the fee in addition to any applicable invoice related costs.
- Albacross shall be entitled to charge a fee for any payment reminders and reserves the right to send the same via e-mail to an invoice reference provided by you. You shall be responsible for the reasonable costs incurred by Albacross when collecting overdue fees.
6. Specific terms for Account Based Marketing service
- The “Account Based Marketing” service enables Customers to display advertising in relevant formats on sites from time to time included in Albacross’ network (“Sites”) for exposure to your selected visitors, enabling real time advertising auctions for serving ads to such visitors (a “Campaign”). In order to access the Account Based Marketing service, the Customer must have an account with Albacross. You can learn more about the content of our Account Based Marketing service on our Website.
- When using the Account Based Marketing service and a Campaign is created, the Campaign is entered into for a determined period of time (the “Campaign Period”), which is the period of time you have requested an ad to be displayed for. For each Campaign, you have the possibility to select a maximum number of “Impressions” for the Campaign. An Impression is the exposure of an ad to a targeted company-related visitor. There is no guarantee that the maximum number of Impressions will be reached for a Campaign.
- In addition what is set out on fees and payment in section 5 above the following will apply in relation to the Account Based Marketing service:
- When ordering a Campaign, you agree on a fixed cost per Impression. The fees you are obligated to pay are limited to the number of Impressions that have been reached and will not exceed the budget for your Campaign (the “Campaign Budget”).
- If the chosen number of Impressions are reached during the Campaign Period, the Campaign will end when it has reached its Campaign Budget. If the chosen number of Impressions has not been reached by the end of the Campaign Period, the Campaign will still end, and the Customer will only pay for the number of Impressions that have been reached during the Campaign Period.
- If you choose to pay by credit card the credit card will be charged as per your Campaign progresses on a weekly basis. If you choose to pay by invoice, payment is due 14 days from the date of the invoice, or as otherwise agreed by Albacross and you. If means of payment are not provided by you on the day of payment, we reserve the right to terminate the Campaign and invoice the fee in addition to any applicable invoice related costs.
- For the sake of clarity, Albacross does not guarantee a minimum amount of Impressions. Albacross reserves the right to deny and/or terminate (as applicable) any Campaign which violates applicable law, Albacross’ policies or which is in any way or form inappropriate subject to Albacross’ sole assessment.
- Albacross aims to not publish ads in offensive, inappropriate or damaging contexts. However, since we are not in control of the Sites or the material displayed on them, we cannot guarantee that this will not happen. Therefore, we disclaim all liability for any damage incurred due to the context in which your ad is displayed.
- We may offer the Account Based Marketing service to other advertisers, and ads from other advertisers may be selected, prioritized or ranked in lieu of or to the detriment of your ads, and your ads may be displayed together with ads from other advertisers.
- If you wish to terminate a Campaign in advance, you may send your termination to campaign@albacross.com. If we wish to terminate a Campaign, we will inform you by email. Following our reception of your termination, a term of notice of five (5) days will commence. You are obligated to pay any fees which arise during this term of notice. Following our sending of a termination notice via email, the termination of the Campaign will be effected immediately.
