    5. We use Brand Owner Information, the Campaign Specification and information provided to us by Content Creators to provide you with a list and details of potentially relevant Content Creators. You then,

      2. the number of pieces of Content to be uploaded by the Content Creator (insofar as the same exceeds any minimum number specified by the Campaign Proposal);

    11. Where, notwithstanding our efforts pursuant to the previous clause, the Reach requirement in the Campaign Specification is not fulfilled at the start of the Campaign, the Campaign Fee will be reduced pro-rata to the shortfall, in accordance with the mechanism outlined at clause 1.3.12 below.
    12. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by us in wiring, the Campaign Fee is payable into our client account (details of which are made available to you via the Platform) within 3 (three) business days of the date of the first approval of a Content Proposal for a Campaign. Notwithstanding such payment, the Campaign Fee is held in trust by us for you on the following terms:

Interim Content Creator Fees

  1. Where the Campaign is intended to last for more than 7 (seven) days and the Campaign Proposal specifies interim stages (referred to at clause 1.3.3.6. above) which, when completed (such expression includes the verification of fulfilment of Content Creator Delivery Obligations procedure referred to below) entitles Content Creators to be paid fees in respect of such Campaign (“Content Creator Fees”) we shall use the Campaign Fee to pay such Content Creator Fees on your behalf, as and when the same fall due. 

Completion of Campaign

  1. Where a Campaign is completed, we shall use the Campaign Fee to pay (in addition to any interim Content Creator Fees referred to above) all Content Creator Fees within 30 days of the end date of the Campaign. Upon such payment, we shall then be beneficially entitled to the remainder of the Campaign Fee and shall be deemed to then receive the same as payment for the Services.
  2. Where a Campaign is completed, but by reason of non-compliance of any Content Creator or otherwise, the Reach requirement in the Campaign Specification is not fulfilled, the Campaign Fee is reduced pro-rata to the shortfall in Reach, and an amount equal to such reduction in the Campaign Fee will be repaid to you within 5 (five) business days of the end date of the Campaign, subject to clause 1.3.12.5 below. We will then pay, on your behalf, all outstanding Content Creator Fees within 30 days of the end date of the Campaign. 
  3.  Where a Campaign is completed, but by reason of non-compliance of any Content Creator or otherwise, the number of pieces of Content stated in the Campaign Specification is not fulfilled, the Campaign Fee is reduced pro-rata to the shortfall in number of pieces of Content deployed, and an amount equal to the reduction in the Campaign Fee will be repaid to you within 5 (five) business days of the end date of the Campaign, subject to clause 1.3.12.5 below. We will then pay, on your behalf, all outstanding Content Creator Fees within 30 days of the end date of the Campaign.
  4. Clauses 1.3.12.3 and 1.3.12.4 above apply in the alternative. Where there is a shortfall in both Reach and the number of pieces of Content deployed, only the clause resulting the highest level of repayment to you will apply. Upon making such payment and paying, on your behalf, all outstanding Content Creator Fees, we will be beneficially entitled to the remainder of the Campaign Fee and shall be deemed to receive the same as payment for the Services.

Reduced Reach

  1. Where at the start of the Campaign the Reach of the Campaign is less than that required by the Campaign Specification, the Campaign Fee is reduced pro-rata to the shortfall, and an amount equal to the reduction in the Campaign Fee will be repaid to you within 5 (five) business days of the start date of the Campaign.

Cancellation

  1. Where, prior to deployment of any Content by any Content Creator in respect of a Campaign, the Campaign is cancelled by you (in writing via the Platform) then (unless otherwise agreed in writing by us) the Campaign Fee, less a cancellation fee (“Cancellation Fee”) will be repaid to you within 3 (three) business days of the date of such cancellation. The Cancellation Fee is a sum equal to the higher of: 
    1. 10% (ten per cent) of the Campaign Fee; and 
    2. where the Campaign Fee was, at or prior to its agreement, expressly subject to a discount, 10% of the sum that would have been payable as the Campaign Fee but for such discount.

.

  1. Where, after deployment of any Content by any Content Creator in respect of a Campaign, the Campaign is cancelled by you (in writing via the Platform), then (unless otherwise agreed in writing by us) the Campaign Fee is not repayable by us subject to clause 1.3.12.9 below. 
  2. Where clause 1.3.12.8 applies and the relevant Campaign is scheduled to last for more than 7 (seven) days and interim deployment and reporting periods (referred to clause 1.3.3.6. above)_ are specified on the relevant Campaign Proposal, we shall (for the purposes of calculation of Cancellation Fees and part repayment of the Campaign Fee) apportion the Campaign Fee pro-rata to the number of pieces of Content to be uploaded in each such interim period. We shall then (treating each such period as a separate Campaign and each apportioned part of the Campaign Fee as a separate Campaign Fee) apply the provisions of clause 1.3.12.2 and 1.3.12.7. above to calculate the relevant Cancelation Fee for each such Interim Period. We will then repay Campaign Fee less the Cancellation Fee to you within 5 (five) business days of the date of such cancellation.
  3. Where a Campaign is cancelled, at any time, upon any repayment of the Campaign Fee less the Cancellation Fees referred to above, we are beneficially entitled to (and are then deemed to received as payment for the Services) the Cancellations Fee.

Postponement and Suspension

  1. Where a Campaign is postponed or suspended by you (in writing via the Platform) then (unless otherwise agreed in writing by us) the Campaign Fee is treated in the same way as if the Campaign was cancelled on the date of suspension or postponement, save that any sums that would then be re-payable to you continue to be held by us on trust for you until the Campaign is either re-activate and completed or cancelled. A Campaign that is postponed or suspended for an aggregate period of 30 days, will be deemed cancelled, whereupon the remainder of this clause 1.3.12 shall apply to such cancellation. 
  • Upon receipt of a Content Proposal approval (via the Platform) the Content Creator submitting such proposal is committed:
    1. to produce and deploy the Content in accordance with the Campaign Proposal and the approved Content Proposal; and 
    2. within 7 (seven) days of the end of the Campaign, and of any of interim reporting days, (in each case as specified in the Campaign Proposal):
      1. to provide, via the Platform, verification of production and deployment of the Content, including the date and platform(s) of deployment and the address (url) of the web page to which it has been uploaded, along with any information required to access such web-page in such form as is reasonably required by us; and 
      2. to provide, via the Platform, Analytics relating to the deployment and exposure of the Content for the period of the Campaign or interim reporting period concerned in such form as is reasonably required by us. “Analytics” meansthe analytical information reasonably obtainable by the Content Creator from the platform(s) to which he/she uploads content. Analytics includes the date range of such information, the websites or platform(s) it relates to and such other information as such platform(s) can supply in respect of the traffic, hits, likes, comments, reach, demographics etc. 

The obligations in this clause 1.3.13 are referred to as “Content Creator Delivery Obligations”.

  1. We will promptly make available to you via the Platform for your review, all information returned by the Content Creator in compliance or purported compliance with the Content Creator Delivery Obligations. You direct us to, and we will on your behalf, pay the Content Creator the Content Creator Fee as it falls due in respect of Content Creator Delivery Obligations, unless you raise a valid objection via the Platform within 5 (five) days the end of the Campaign (or earlier interim reporting period to which such information relates).
