Advertio shall charge the End User for every campaign actively running on the platform.
The price per goal is dynamically calculated during the Digital Marketing Campaign setup and should be valid for 30 (thirty) days after the campaign setup if the campaign was not launched.
After the Digital Marketing Campaign is launched the price is valid for its duration.
By launching a campaign you accept the price per goal quoted by us.
We always guarantee your quoted CPL for a period of 6 months. As market conditions can change, in some cases, our systems will recalculate CPL after the first 6 month term to reflect the current pricing. You will be notified of any change when it occurs.
Advertio does not charge any additional fees on top of the price per goal. For avoidance of doubt the price per goal is inclusive of all fees and that is the only amount the End User's wallet will be charged.
Advertio may at its own discretion lower the price charged throughout the Digital Marketing Campaign.
7. Wallet and advertising budget
Placing a Digital Advertising Campaign on the Platform is dependent on the availability of sufficient funds in the Account’s wallet to account for the advertising budget, as explained in detail at http://www.advertio.com. The advertising budget is determined at the time of the Digital Advertising Campaign solicitation.
You may top up the Account’s wallet automatically or manually by credit card using Visa, American Express, or MasterCard or via bank transfer following the receipt of our invoice. Bank transfers are only available upon individual risk analysis.
If the End User selects the auto top-up mode, once the funds in the Account’s wallet reach an amount predefined by the End User, Advert.io will top up the Account’s wallet with the amount predefined by the End User.
If the End User selects the manual top-up mode, in such case where the Account’s wallet lacks sufficient funds for an ongoing Digital Advertising Campaign, Advert.io will suspend such ongoing Digital Advertising Campaign until the Account’s wallet is topped-up with sufficient funds to account for the advertising budget of the ongoing Digital Advertising Campaign.
The advertising budget does not include VAT at the applicable legal rate. VAT will be included in the invoice if applicable.
The invoice for the funds charged pursuant to the Digital Advertising Campaign’s outcomes fulfilment will be issued electronically with the information you provide us and sent to the e-mail address that you indicate, on a monthly basis.
The Digital Advertising Campaign will be active within a maximum period of 48 hours following Advert.io’s acceptance of the Digital Advertising Campaign solicitation, except in cases of force majeure or cases outside of our control.
If at the end of the Digital Advertising Campaign the advertising budget in your Account’s wallet is not entirely spent, the remaining amount will remain in your Account’s wallet for future campaigns.
You may ask for a refund of the remaining amounts in the Account’s wallet. Refunds have a 5% cost of the amount to be refunded, with a minimum fee of 10EUR. Advert.io undertakes to refund you such amounts within 30 days from the refund’s request to the bank account associated with your Account. Advert.io reserves the right to, at any time and in our sole discretion, without notice, and without incurring in liability of any kind, terminate the Account and, consequently, refund the amounts in the Account’s wallet of the End User.
Advert.io may issue promotional campaigns to its End Users to drive engagement in the Platform, namely vouchers. The voucher’s funds are non-refundable and will only be valid to be spent when the refundable funds in the Account’s wallet are already spent in Digital Advertising Campaigns.

22. Miscellaneous
These T&Cs apply to the maximum extent permitted by relevant Legislation. If a court holds that we cannot enforce a part of these T&Cs as written, you and we will replace those terms with similar terms to the extent enforceable under the relevant Legislation, but the rest of these T&Cs will remain in effect.
The non-exercise, or late or partial exercise, of any right which we have under these T&Cs cannot under any circumstance imply the waiver of such a right, or the expiry of the same and, therefore, any such right will remain valid and effective despite not being exercised.
