Notice for Clients entered the Contract before April 1, 2022. This version of the Contract introduces a revised term “Order Form” instead of “Purchase Order” which was operated hereby until April 1, 2022. For clarity, both definitions mean the same, and all references to the Order Form covers all references to Purchase Orders composed and drafted by Influ2 and signed by the Client up to April 1, 2022.
Notice for Clients entered the Contract before November 1, 2023. This version of the Contract introduces a revised term “Total Contract Value” instead of “Total Subscription Value” which was operated hereby until November 1, 2023. For clarity, both definitions mean the same, and all references to the Total Contract Value covers all references to the Total Subscription Value.
1.1 Entire Agreement. The Contract constitutes the full agreement between the Parties. A reference to the Contract means a reference to any and all of its integral parts. In turn, this Contract is an integral part of all the Orders the Parties entered into, and it is hereby incorporated therein by reference. All preambles to this Contract/all other documents the Contract refers to are integral parts of the Contract/those documents, and such preambles are hereby incorporated in the Contract/the relevant documents by reference.

1.5. Superseding and Exclusivity. This version of the Contract supersedes any other Contracts between the Parties regarding the subject matter of the Contract, as well as all previous versions of the Contract. This Contract, the relevant Orders, and the DPA shall exclusively regulate all the terms of the Parties’ cooperation and other matters arising out of the use of the Services and prevail over all other documents issued by the Client, either existing or upcoming, including order forms, purchase orders, terms and conditions, etc. (the “Client’s PO”). Although the Client may issue it to satisfy an internal procurement need, the Client explicitly waives the applicability of the Client’s PO to the cooperation between the Parties until both Parties’ authorized representatives mutually sign such a Client’s PO. For the avoidance of any doubt, even if a Party (i) accepts the Client’s PO electronically, (ii) includes a reference to the Client’s PO in an invoice or any other document, (iii) processes any amounts based on an invoice referencing to the Client’s PO, or (iv) performs another act conditioned to the acceptance of the Client’s PO, the Client’s PO still requires to be mutually signed by both Parties’ authorized representatives for its validity and applicability.

Subject to the Client’s timely payment of all applicable Services Fees and compliance herewith, Influ2 provides the Client with the Subscription Services allowing the Client to access and use features of the Platform to run advertising campaigns targeted to specific people through the Platform to the extent provided by the Subscription outlined by the relevant Order. For this purpose, Influ2 integrates programmatic technologies and disparate sources of inventory within a single platform and uses proprietary machine learning technology and other data analysis technics to enable the Client to benefit from the Platform features. The Client may use those Platform’s features to analyze data on the available sources, place advertising targeted to Prospects, tracking results of the Prospects’ engagement, and create reports on that engagement. For the avoidance of any doubt, specific sources where Client’s advertisements can be placed are subject to availability and technical capability of the Platform and may vary over time. The Subscription automatically starts on the Start Date, and it does not depend on any of the Client’s acts. The Client shall not resell, allow the use, or otherwise make the Services available for third parties without prior written consent of Influ2.

If the Client fails to upload a sufficient amount of the Client’s Data about the appropriate number of Prospects in time, the Client acknowledges that the Prospect may not see the relevant advertisement, and quantitative commitments (if any) may not be met. In no event, shall the untimely or partially submitting or non-uploading of the Client’s Data about an appropriate number of Prospects release the Client of its payment obligation or pause or postpone the start of the Subscription Term or the Subscription itself. Considering the time limits this Section specifies, if the Client needs advice on how to select a more relevant audience, Influ2 may provide the Client with Informational Support on possible ways of improving the Client’s ad practices.
3.5. Supplementary Data. Based on a Client’s request, as a part of the Services, Influ2 may perform the data enrichment in order to augment the existing Client’s Data with additional pieces of information or collect information about new Prospects to create or enlarge the number of the Client’s Data (the “Supplementary Data”). Such activities will be performed on behalf of the Client and in the Client’s business interest only. Thus, the Client is the sole entity determining the purposes and means of the processing of the Supplementary Data.

4.3. Client’s Content. The Client shall upload Client’s Content to the Platform before the start of Subscription and each subsequent advertising campaign thereafter as well as each time when the Client wants to show new Client’s Content to the Prospects. If the Client fails to upload the Client’s Content in time, the Client acknowledges that the Client’s Content may not be shown to the Prospects. In no event, shall untimely or partially uploading or non-uploading of the Client’s Content release the Client of its payment obligation or pause or postpone the start of the Subscription Term or the Subscription itself.
4.4. Prohibited Content. Since Influ2 is not obliged to check admissibility of the Client’s Content, the Client shall all the time remain liable for such content. Influ2 requires and the Client confirms that the Client’s Content is accurate and does not violate the Order, Contract, and ad policies of the relevant Third-Party Platforms, as well as it complies with all laws and regulations applicable to the Client and Prospects.

Suspension Due to Non-Payment. If the Client owes Influ2 any unpaid Services Fees or amounts, Influ2 may suspend the Client’s access to the Services without prior notice until monies are paid in full.

6.3. Data Processing Contract. To the extent Influ2 processes any personal data on the Client’s behalf that is subject to the GDPR, and the parties have not executed a separate data processing agreement that complies with Article 28 of the GDPR, the terms of the Data Processing Agreement, located on the Website are incorporated by reference and shall apply.

11.8. Severability. If any portion of this Contract (any provision or portion) is held invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or enforceability will not affect the other provisions of this Contract, which will remain in full force and effect, and the invalid or unenforceable portion will be given effect to the greatest extent possible and interpreted in such a way as to contain more actual and relevant meaning for the purposes of the Contract.
12.1 Dispute Resolution. The Parties hereby outline that the multi-tier dispute resolution process set out by this Article 12 shall apply to any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out hereof or relating in any way hereto or any of the Order placed in accordance with this Contract, as well as to the interpretation, enforceability, performance, breach, termination, or validity thereof (the “Dispute”) as follows.
12.2. Individual Capacity Only. Both Parties agree to resolve the Dispute on an individual basis, and that any Disputes shall be brought in an individual capacity, and not on behalf of, or as part of, any purported class, consolidated, or representative proceeding.

12.4. Severability of Arbitration Agreement. If any part or portion of the Contract is found to be, or otherwise is, illegal, void, or unenforceable, the Section 12.1© hereof shall constitute the separate and independent arbitration agreement between the Parties. In the event that any part or portion of Article 12 hereof is found to be, or otherwise is, illegal, void, or unenforceable, the remainder of this Article 12 hereof, including the Parties’ agreement to submit their Disputes to Arbitration, will continue in full force and effect and the application of such parts or portions to other circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to affect the intent of the Parties.
13.1 No Partnership or Agency. Nothing herein is intended to establish any form of partnership, recruitment, or joint venture between the Parties. The Parties are not agents. Neither the Client nor Influ2 can enter into contracts or any other documents/transactions on behalf of each other or as representatives of each other. Nothing in the Contract creates obligations for third parties; no third party is bound by the Contract.
