Therefore, Monkaze may become aware that the Publisher is able to provide Promotional space which is currently requested by the Advertiser. In such case, Monkaze may approach the Advertiser and propose conclusion of an Order for the provision Promotional space, based on which and upon its confirmation, Monkaze shall provide the Promotional space to the Advertiser.
Order details. Each Order shall specify at least the (i) Campaign details; (ii) Price for provision of the Promotional space in accordance with the payment models specified herein.
Binding Order. By placing the Order, the Advertiser confirms that the information provided in the Order is correct. Any Order placed by the Advertiser is binding for the Advertiser, meaning that if Monkaze confirms the Order, the Advertiser is obliged to pay for Monkaze Services. Nevertheless, Monkaze is not obliged to place and/or confirm any Order.

Top up amount above the minimum threshold is solely a decision of the Advertiser. Deposited funds are connected with the Advertiser’s Account and can be used only for purchasing the Promotional space via the Platform. The Advertiser acknowledges and agrees that the funds deposit may be made by payment methods – such as Bank Wire, or Crypto (as currently available in the Platform) – which may be connected with additional costs of transactions. The Advertiser bears all such costs, Monkaze may deduct costs from the funds deposited to Advertiser’s Account.

However information on additional costs of transactions is always displayed on Platform’s payment screen. Payment. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in the Order, all payments for Monkaze Services shall be made by the Advertiser prior to the provision of Monkaze Services by a deduction from the funds deposited to Advertiser’s Account. In case there are insufficient funds deposited to Advertiser’s Account, Monkaze is not obliged to conclude the Order and/or to provide Monkaze Services.
Strong Customer Authentication. According to the relevant payment providers’ policies some of the transactions may demand Strong Customer Authentication (SCA), which means that electronic payment is performed with multi-factor authentication to increase the security of such a payment. The type of used multi-factor authentication as well as demanding SCA in any case depends on the policy of the relevant payment provider that is chosen by the Advertiser. The implementation of requirements regarding SCA may also lead to processing an increased amount of the Advertiser’s Personal Data by these payment providers and transferring the increased amount of the one by Monkaze to these payment providers, so it is recommended to respectively review the privacy policies available on their websites as well as the Privacy Policy of Monkaze.
Price model. In each Order, the Parties shall agree on a price model for the provision of Monkaze Services. The price model may be, in particular but not exclusively, based on the following models or their combinations:
CPC (cost per click): the Advertiser shall pay the agreed amount per each click or redirect of the User.
CPA (RevShare): the Advertiser shall pay the agreed commission from the Advertisers revenue. The commission is calculated as a certain percentage specified in the Order multiplied by the revenue of Advertiser achieved as a direct result of the Advertiser’s services (i.e. when the End Customer views an ad on the Promotional space, clicks that ad, and then takes a further action to pay for the goods or services of the Advertiser). The right to payment of the commission arises at the moment of conclusion of the contract based on which the good or service of the Advertiser is sold to a third party. On request, the Advertiser is obliged to provide Monkaze with all records and accounting books necessary to calculate the revenue.
Reporting. Unless agreed otherwise by the Parties in the Order, the price to be paid (deducted from the funds deposit) by the Advertiser to Monkaze under the Order shall be determined by the Platform. The price determined by the Platform is fully available to the Advertiser via the Account.
Invoicing. The Platform shall generate the invoice automatically upon conclusion of the Order. The Invoice shall be delivered to the Advertiser electronically via the Platform. Advertiser bears all costs connected with the Wire transfers.

The complaints shall be made in writing and sent by e-mail to info@monkaze.com. Failure to address a complaint to Monkaze within such period will constitute an acceptance of, and agreement with, the applicable payment as determined by the Platform.
Refunds. Payments made by the Advertiser are subject to the following refund policy:
In accordance with the Terms, the Advertiser may ask for a refund of the remaining funds deposited on the Account by contacting info@monkaze.com.
In case of Monkaze Services provided in CPC payment model, Monkaze shall refund the Advertiser the price paid (deducted from the funds deposited to Advertiser’s Account) for clicks and/or redirects marked as invalid by Monkaze’s internal filtering system. Monkaze filtering system may mark the click or redirect as invalid if the click and/or redirect fulfills the conditions of Invalid traffic as defined in these Terms. Monkaze may request additional evidence from the Advertiser to prove that the clicks or redirects constituted Invalid traffics. Notwithstanding, in an event that discrepancies between the Advertiser and Monkaze’s statistics exceed 10%, the Advertiser and Monkaze agree to work together in good faith with the aim of reducing the discrepancies to below the 10% threshold.
During the Term or in the event of termination of the Agreement by the Advertiser, the Advertiser is entitled only to a refund of currently remaining funds deposited in the Advertiser’s Account and only in the amount above the amount of minimum initial deposit. Bonuses or any form of credit granted by Monkaze are not subject to refund.
In case the Advertiser’s Account is suspended or terminated for any reason by Monkaze (e.g. Article 3.3 letter k), 6.4 or Article 10 of the Terms) the remaining funds deposited on the Account are automatically deducted by Monkaze as a remuneration for keeping the Account active during the Term and accounted for as revenues of Monkaze. If the Advertiser asks for reactivation of the Account, the funds may be reinstated as a “bonus” in the amount equal to the remaining funds deposited on the Account before its deactivation (in exceptional situations and if agreed by the Parties).
In any case, the refunded amounts and/or bonuses shall be credited only into the Advertiser’s Account (i.e. in the form of deposit) and not into bank account or any other Advertiser’s account.
Unless otherwise stipulated in the letters a) – e) above or agreed by the Parties in the written Order form, any and all payments and deposits made by the Advertiser are nonrefundable and the termination and/or suspension does not entitle the Advertiser to demand that these amount are returned to the Advertiser, instead they shall be accounted for as revenues of Monkaze.
Disputes. In the event a legal action is brought against or a dispute is raised with Monkaze, Monkaze reserves the right to hold amounts due to Publisher under this Agreement until the legal action or dispute is resolved.
Taxes and withholding. All taxes, levies or fees associated with purchase of the Monkaze Services by the Advertiser, including, but not limited to, federal, state, and local, including value added tax and taxes related to purchase and sale of the Promotional space and use of the Monkaze Space shall be paid by the Advertiser. Monkaze is entitled to add these amounts, in particular the VAT, to the invoiced price. If Monkaze has to pay the above taxes or fees, it is entitled to claim payment of these amounts from the Advertiser on the basis of an issued invoice. The Advertiser agrees to promptly reimburse and indemnify Monkaze from any claim or assessment of taxes by any state, and/or local taxing authority, and any other costs and damages, arising from or in connection with the operations stated in the Terms. This shall in no way prejudice the obligation of Monkaze to pay income tax.
Default. If the Advertiser is in delay with payment of any amount to Monkaze, the Advertiser is obliged to pay default interest in the amount of 0.5% of the outstanding amount for each, even incomplete, day of delay.
Any chargebacks or poor quality traffic (e.g. due to filter discrepancies, technical setup issues, not following business deal by IO) will be adjusted to the Advertiser payout within 60 days of the billing period).
