VIII. Publisher Payments
The Publisher can receive payment from Shrx within 50 days after the end of the month. The payment will be counted for the actual number of impressions approved by Shrx and served on the Publisher’s inventory. Prior that, Shrx receives the payment from the advertiser on the Publisher’s behalf.
There is a minimum limit of payment established for the Publisher that accounts for $100. In order to receive the payment it is important to be sure the sum has reached essential minimum level on Publisher’s account.
If any Advertiser decides to hold the payment, Shrx is not responsible for the delay in payments sent to the publisher. The Publisher should be alerted of any delays in their payments.
The Shrx party functions as Ad Exchange, therein it depends on the Advertisers to proceed the payment before Shrx will be able to pay the Publisher. From its part Shrx will make all possible efforts to ensure the payment share that belongs to the Publisher is paid in time, that is within 50 days after such payment obtained from Advertiser.
The Publisher needs to acknowledge the fact that Shrx operates only as a service provider and as the agent for Advertisers. Shrx can be accountable only for the revenues actually obtained from the Advertiser which represent funds that can be immediately obtained. Shrx fully embraces the responsibility to control the billing process and the procedure of payment collection from the Advertiser to make it timely and unobstructive. The right to quit the payments can be reserved by Shrx in cases the terms and conditions of service were severely violated by Publisher. Clicks on house banners are not subjected to payment by Shrx and will not bring the revenue to the Publisher.
If your Account is inactive for a three-month period (i.e., you did not log into your account or provide any impressions for 3 months), your Account balance will be charged an inactive fee; your balance will become $0 and your account will be closed. Shrx may, but has no obligation to, give you prior notice of the imposition of any inactive fee.
Shrx can’t be held accountable for the purchases committed by Advertiser, thus can’t guarantee that Publisher’s inventory will be purchased.Accordingly, payment for the display of each Advertisement is strictly subjected to and conditional upon the payment of fees for the same Advertisement (“Ad revenue”) by the relevant Advertiser. Same way, the payment procedure for the advertisement display is subjected to the fees and “Ad revenue” fees payment by Advertiser.
Thus, Shrx should not be kept liable for the full payment in case some segment of it wasn’t provided by the Advertiser. In other words, the Publisher must accept that Shrx is not responsible for the insufficient revenue delivered from the Advertiser to the Publisher through the system.
Fraudulent impressions. In case Shrx finds out that the level of fraud in served impressions exceeds 10%, the invoice payments can be cancelled and suspended. The suspended payments will be considered frozen till the case is not investigated and the mutual decision is not found by the parties.
IX. Materials Provided
HTML tags. Using Shrx services the Publisher agrees to place the string of HTML code on the website or separate pages of it that will be used for the advertising delivery. Shrx fully prohibits modification of this code string on the inventory unless the parties agree on that in written consent. The HTML code string provided by Shrx should not be used or shared on any other source except the webpage or the site it was placed on initially, including the chat rooms, emails or newsgroups as it may result in the wrong code execution. The Publisher also agrees to avoid using specific marketing practices such as Run On Network and others in case such practices usage wasn’t discussed and agreed upon in the written form with Shrx. The violation of this rule may lead to the blocking of revenue, website declines or the personal account suspension with no subsequent traffic compensation from Shrx.
Ad and click fraud. The Publisher acknowledges that any fraudulent activity aimed at augmenting the number of clicks is strictly prohibited and can bear severe consequences, regardless of intent, means or form of execution. As Shrx’s advertising platform is in charge of counting the total number of impressions served and the revenue generated, the total sum that should be paid to the Publisher will be defined referring to the system’s indications combined with Publisher’s data assessed by Shrx. To such prohibited methods can be attributed: manipulations with click destinations for ad-banner’s, redirection of users to different pages, browser auto-spawning, blind text links, other practices determined by Shrx as harmful or unacceptable and affect impressions or click-through rates. On the automatically reloading pages the ad placement is also not accepted. Please do not ask the users to click on the certain areas of the website, don’t incentivise them to click on the advertising materials before they visit your website. Clicking on different links than those were provided by Shrx’s Advertising Material or applying artificial click/visit boosters may inflict the sanctions on the Publisher ending with account and all payments termination. The decision of the termination is absolutely due to consideration of Shrx team.
