Customer shall register the Ad Accounts with the Service, and may subsequently add or remove such Ad Accounts at any time in its sole discretion. Customer represents and warrants that it has full rights and authority to give Smartly.io the rights above and to register the Ad Accounts with the Service. For clarity, if Customer uses the Service on behalf of a third party (e.g. its end customer), Customer represents and warrants to Smartly.io that the aforementioned authorization and registration obligations are complied with also with respect to such third party.
4. Rights of Use and Proprietary Rights
4.1 Customer agrees and acknowledges that the title and all intellectual property rights in and to the Service and any data, documentation, code, images and/or Smartly.io Software related thereto are owned by and remain vested in Smartly.io or a third party. Unless otherwise specifically agreed in a signed agreement between the Parties, no intellectual property rights of Smartly.io shall be transferred pursuant to these Terms of Use, any Order Form or Subscription. Subject to Customer’s compliance with all the terms of this Agreement, Smartly.io grants Customer a non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited right to access and use the Service, against due payment of the applicable fees, solely in connection with the Ad Accounts in the applicable Online Advertising Platform.

4.3 Customer (or Customer’s third party licensor) retains all of its rights in all Customer Content. Unless otherwise specifically agreed in a signed agreement between the Parties, no intellectual property rights of Customer shall be transferred pursuant to these Terms of Use, any Order Form or Subscription. Customer hereby grants Smartly.io a non-exclusive, worldwide, and limited right to use such Customer Content for purposes of delivering and performing the Service under this Agreement. In case there are some third party restrictions relating to Customer Content, Customer shall be liable for complying with such restrictions and shall notify Smartly.io of said restrictions in writing when providing Smartly.io with Customer Content. In such a case, the Parties shall discuss and agree in good faith on how such third party restrictions are taken into account in the provision of the Service. This provision does not limit Smartly.io’s rights under Section 8.2 below or rights to Feedback (as defined below).
4.4 If Customer provides, at its sole discretion, Smartly.io with comments, suggestions or ideas relating to the Service (“Feedback”), Smartly.io may perpetually use Feedback without restrictions or obligations to Customer.
4.5 For the avoidance of doubt, if Customer uses or the Service integrates third-party solutions for which Customer has a direct contractual relationship with the providers of such third-party solutions (such as Online Advertising Platforms, mobile measurement providers and analytics providers) regardless of anything to the contrary stated herein, their use shall be exclusively governed by their provider's terms and conditions in their standard form, or as negotiated between Customer and such third party, applicable to such solutions. This Agreement does not modify or amend, and is not in lieu of, any terms, policies or rules of an Online Advertising Platform or any other third-party solution used by Customer.
5. Fees
5.1 Fees and invoicing are specified in the Order Form. If Customer has multiple Subscriptions with spend-based pricing, (i) Advertising Spend is incurred under each Subscription separately and the Advertising Spend is not aggregated between Subscriptions and (ii) the fee shall be calculated and invoiced after each calendar month based on Customer’s Advertising Spend. Unless expressly stated otherwise in an Order Form, at least a monthly minimum fee is charged for each full calendar month. If the first calendar month or last calendar month prior to termination is partial, the monthly minimum fee shall be prorated based on the number of days in the said calendar month. To the extent the pricing is based on impressions or Advertising Spend which Smartly.io Software is not able to automatically retrieve for billing purposes, Customer shall timely provide accurate monthly reports after the end of each calendar month consisting of, as applicable, all advertising impressions delivered and/or Advertising Spend incurred by or on behalf of Customer during the relevant reporting period that incorporate Customer Content or make use of the Service.
5.2 Unless explicitly stated to the contrary in the Order Form, Smartly.io may change the pricing from time to time upon at least 30 days prior written notice. The change shall not affect the fees for invoicing periods commenced before the effective date of the change. If Customer has committed to a fixed term, the price change shall take effect at the next renewal. In case of a price change, Customer shall be entitled to terminate the affected Subscription to end on the effective date of the price change by notifying Smartly.io thereof in writing prior to said effective date.
5.3 Unless otherwise specified in an Order Form, fees for the Service are invoiced monthly in arrears via the payment method offered by Smartly.io at the time and chosen by Customer. Customer shall remit payment 30 days net from the date of the invoice. Interest on delayed payments accrues at 12% per annum or the maximum legal interest rate for late payment, whichever is less. Customer is liable to pay Smartly.io’s reasonable expenses and fees relating to collection of late payments. Customer shall provide Smartly.io with correct invoicing information (including without limitation any purchase order numbers) by the last business day before the end of the invoiced calendar month and must ensure that Customer’s invoicing information remains correct and up to date. If Customer in good faith believes that Smartly.io has charged Customer incorrectly, Customer shall contact Smartly.io in writing no later than 10 business days after the date of the first invoice in which the error appeared, in order to receive an adjustment or credit. If Customer fails to contact Smartly.io within the 10 business day period referenced above, the Customer shall be deemed to have accepted the invoice as is.
5.4 All fees, charges, and other amounts payable by the Customer are exclusive of any applicable taxes, duties, levies, or other governmental charges, including but not limited to value added tax, goods and services tax, sales tax, and sellers use tax (“Indirect Taxes”). Where Indirect Taxes are chargeable by Smartly.io from Customer, those shall be added to the invoice at the prevailing rate in accordance with applicable law and paid by the Customer upon receipt of a valid tax invoice. If the Customer is legally entitled to an exemption from any Indirect Taxes, the Customer is responsible for providing Smartly.io with legally-sufficient tax exemption certificates for each taxing jurisdiction, as well as any other documentation reasonably requested. Smartly.io will apply said tax exemption certificates to charges under the Customer’s account that are invoiced after the date Smartly.io receives the tax exemption certificates. Customer affirms any tax exemption certificates it provides are accurate, complete and valid. Customer shall reimburse Smartly.io for any taxes, liabilities or costs arising from Smartly.io's reliance on or acceptance of the exemption certificate in lieu of tax collection. All payments made by the Customer to the Smartly.io entity specified in the Order Form shall be made free and clear of any deduction or withholding for taxes. If any such deduction or withholding is required by law, the Customer will notify Smartly.io in writing and will pay any additional amounts necessary to ensure that the net amount that Smartly.io receives, after any deduction and withholding, equals the amount Smartly.io would have received if no deduction or withholding had been required. The Customer shall promptly provide evidence that the deducted and withheld amounts have been paid to the relevant taxing authority including any documentation issued by the relevant taxing authority in respect of the deducted or withheld amounts. Smartly.io will provide the Customer with such tax forms as are reasonably requested in order to reduce or eliminate the amount of any withholding or deduction for taxes in respect of payments.
