to terminate the Agreement.

for a specific Campaign.

8. REPORTING

8.1 Strossle will make reports available to the Customer on the number of Clicks after the completion of
each Campaign.

8.2 If the Customer, by use of a well-renowned tool for measurement of web-traffic based on the same
method for measurement of Clicks as reflected in the Agreement, is of the opinion that the reported
number of Clicks is incorrect, the Customer may challenge the reported number of Clicks, provided that
the Customer’s results differ with more than 10 % (ten per cent) from that of Strossle. In such case, the
Parties shall enter into good faith discussions in order to identify the correct number of Clicks.

8.3 Deviations under 10% (ten per cent) shall not lead to adjustments of the number of Clicks reported by
Strossle.

8.4 The use of independent verification technologies such as impression trackers or pixels is allowed under the condition that such technology does not subjugate Strossle to act as a Data Processor on behalf of the client. Advertiser agrees to and confirms that no such technology may be used that collects Personal Data as regulated by “Data Protection Laws”  including but not limited to laws and regulations of the European Union such as the Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 commonly named General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”).

in Strossle, or its licensors as applicable, and nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted as a transfer of such rights from Strossle to the Customer.

10.2 Unless explicitly granted, the Customer is not granted any right to use such intellectual property rights specified in Clause 10.1 above.

10.3 The Customer grants Strossle all such rights which are necessary for Strossle to perform the Service, including, but not limited to, use, host, cache, route, store, copy, modify, distribute, reformat, reproduce, publish, display, transmit and sublicense the Content and to take such other actions in relation to the Content that Strossle is entitled to under the Agreement.

11. NO WARRANTY

11.1 The success of a Campaign depends partly on factors outside Strossle’s control, for example the quality of the Content in relation to other content published in the Network at the same time.

Prolongation of the Campaign to a date decided by Strossle and, if appropriate, in combination therewith request that the Customer replaces or makes additions to the Content in accordance with Strossle’s reasonable instructions; or Conclusion of the Campaign and payment of the Service Fee as stipulated in Clause 9.2 .

11.3 Notwithstanding Clause 11.2 , if Strossle has explicitly guaranteed on the Order Confirmation the number the Clicks to be delivered during a Campaign and the final number of Clicks delivered at the end
of a Campaign is lower than the number of Clicks so guaranteed, the Customer, in its sole discretion, and as the sole and exclusive remedy, shall have the right to decide one of the following actions:

Prolongation of the Campaign to a date mutually decided by the Parties including possible replacement or additions to the Content (if appropriate); or Conclusion of the Campaign and repayment of the Service Fee in relation to the number of non-delivered Clicks as set forth on the Order Confirmation.
