If Your Account is inactive for a twelve-month period (i.e., You did not log into Your account during 12 months), Your Account balance will be charged as an inactive fee, meaning Your balance will be €0 and Your account will be closed. I.R.V. may, but has no obligation to, give You prior notice of the imposition of any inactive fee. Payments to I.R.V. Any payments to I.R.V. can be executed in two ways: (i) payment systems (e.g. Paypall, Stripe) or (ii) wire transfer. In both ways, the costs related to the deposit of funds are imposed on You. Any deviations from the payment terms in this Agreement will be specified in the applicable Terms & Conditions. Managed Services: Our team of Content Exchange experts will gladly manage your campaigns on your behalf. Payment for managed services is charged on monthly basis and calculated from the Gross Platform Spend as stated in the table below:

You agree to pay all sales, use and excise taxes, and any other similar taxes, duties and charges of any kind imposed on You by any state or local governmental entity in connection with the delivery or Your receipt of the Services.
- Methods of payment. The recommended payment for the platform usage should be at least €1 000.00 for Your first campaign. (First Deposit). The amount of the First Deposit should be deemed a non-refundable Guarantee deposit, which serves as a monetary guarantee for the safe and proper usage of the platform on Your side, covering the maintenance and I.R.V. efforts regarding Your launch on the platform. The Guarantee deposit is non- refundable in any case and You accept and agree that in the case of the requested refund for any reason, of whatsoever nature, such First Deposit shall be excluded from the amount of the requested refund. After, You need to deposit at least € 100.00 every time Your account gets refilled. Accepted form of payment - Euro. You are in charge of providing correct and valid information each time You make payments. Please always thoroughly verify and double-check such information as payment sum, credit card number, expiry date, as well as wire information. Third-party providers are responsible for payment execution between You and I.R.V. In this regard, no guarantees can be made considering the time it takes for the funds to be transmitted to Your account. For the credit card holders, the funds are usually transmitted immediately to the account. For PayPal or wire users processing may take longer (up to a few days). For the period of inactivity more than 6 months (no ad purchasing took place, no account refills were made, or no logins to Your account were detected), Your account will be closed and Your balance will be set to €0, which is called ‘inactive fee.’ Notice, that I.R.V. is not obliged to notify You about the inactive fee and the account deletion. For the period of inactivity more than 3 months (after You deposited Your first payment) Your account also will be closed and Your balance will be set to €0, due ‘inactive fee’ application.
- Refund politics. In case You want to delete Your Content Exchange account, You need to send us a written notice about such a decision. In this case, the remaining account balance will be refunded by I.R.V. (minus administrative fee - 15%, and minus the Guarantee deposit, if applicable, which is extracted from the remaining account balance in 30 days). Refunds might be requested not later than within 45 (forty – five) days as of the date of the allocation of the funds to Your Content Exchange account. Refunds request should be made in writing, providing the details of the payment source that was used to execute the payment, written notice should be sent to the representative of I.R.V. and will be processed within 30 (thirty) days as of the date of receipt of the written request. The refund requested with incorrect payment details is not subject to processing and will be returned to You without an execution. Refunds are made strictly to the payment source that was used to execute the payment. This way, for instance, in case You used a credit card before, I.R.V. will transfer refunds to this credit card. Sometimes, for safety reasons, You may be asked to provide additional documentation or data that will help I.R.V. verify Your identity. After this, the refund can be executed. No refunds are provided to the demand parties whose account is terminated due to malicious, fraudulent or inappropriate content, including but not limited to auto direct links, deceptive advertising, adult thematics, prohibited products and services, dating, etc. which may be detected by I.R.V. or vendor.
