PLEASE READ THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS VERY CAREFULLY BEFORE REGISTERING FOR THE ADFONIC SERVICE. REGISTERING FOR, OR USING, THE ADFONIC SERVICE INDICATES THAT YOU ACCEPT THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS. IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, PLEASE DO NOT REGISTER FOR, OR USE, THE ADFONIC SERVICE.

This agreement ("Agreement") between You (defined below) and Adfonic Limited ("Adfonic") consists of these terms and conditions and any policy or rules referred to in them and sets out how Adfonic will work with both Publishers and Advertisers (each defined below) in respect of the Adfonic website ("Adfonic Website") and the Service (defined below). "You" means any entity, whether a Publisher, Advertiser or both, identified in the Sign-Up Form (defined below).

the Adfonic Service

Adfonic provides a web-based, global, self-service exchange for mobile advertising that enables Publishers seeking to monetise their Sites (defined below) to register and make the Sites available in the form of inventory to the Adfonic network (the "Service"). This inventory is then made available to Advertisers who are able to purchase pre-paid Ads (defined below) in the form of text links and banners that are costed on a CPM or CPC basis (each defined below). Funds are drawn down from the Advertiser's Account (defined below) as their Ads are displayed or clicked-on via the Sites. Each Publisher is then paid a share of the Site Revenue (defined below) thus generated from its Sites.
If Adfonic makes a material change to terms of this Agreement, Adfonic will notify You to the email address You provided and/or on the Adfonic website. Unless you notify Adfonic otherwise within thirty days of such notice, You will become bound by the modified terms. If You do notify Adfonic, You will remain bound by the version of the terms before the change for the remainder of the current Term.
Adfonic may make modifications to the Service, or any aspect of it, from time to time.
Adfonic will provide the Service to You during the Term of this Agreement and you may use the Service as described in clause 1.1 above. You must comply with this Agreement and You must procure that Your Associates comply. You must use all commercially reasonable efforts to prevent unauthorized used of, or access to, the Service, including safeguarding any usernames and passwords applying to Your Account and You must promptly notify Adfonic of any such use or access.
Adfonic warrants that it will comply with the Privacy Policy.
Unless Adfonic specifically agrees in writing, You must not, and must use commercially reasonable efforts to make sure a third party does not: (a) sub-license, loan, rent, sell, resell, lease or otherwise deal with, the Services to or with a third party; (b) attempt to reverse engineer the Services or any component of the Services; or (c) attempt to create a substitute or similar service through use of, or access to, the Service.
Subject always to termination in accordance with this Agreement, at the expiry of the Term, the Term is renewed automatically for another sixty days by Your continued use of the Service.

If You are required by law to withhold any Taxes from your payments to Adfonic, You must provide to Adfonic an official tax receipt or other appropriate documentation to support this.
The minimum payment permitted is fifty (50) USD. The maximum payment permitted is ten thousand (10 000) USD per transaction and Your Account may not contain more than one hundred thousand (100 000) USD at any time without the prior written consent of Adfonic. Adfonic will serve Your Ads to the chosen Sites following receipt of payment to Your Account and within 24 hours after approval of the Ads by Adfonic; and will cease to serve your Ads to Sites once your Account has been depleted. You are responsible for paying all taxes and government charges, and any reasonable expenses and legal fees Adfonic incurs in collecting overdue amounts.
Where Adfonic has given its prior written consent, you may pay into Your Account in arrears. Adfonic will send you invoices by post or email, which are due and payable immediately.

You will also pay all expenses (including lawyer's fees) reasonably incurred by Adfonic in collecting such overdue amounts, except to the extent of any invoicing error of Adfonic.
If you request a refund you must submit the request in writing to Adfonic. An administration charge of ten percent (10%) will be applied to each refund, subject to a minimum of ten (10) USD. Refunds will be made to the same bank card or account as the original payment, within thirty days of Adfonic's receipt of a valid request.
Adfonic will be solely responsible for determining and counting the Clicks or Impressions for each Ad campaign. No other measurement or statistic of any kind shall be taken into account or have any effect.
Adfonic may share any bank card or related billing and payment information that Advertiser provides to Adfonic with third parties such as payment processors solely for the purposes of effecting payments to and from, and servicing, Your Account. Adfonic shall not be liable for any use or disclosure of such information by such third parties.
