Terms & Conditions

LAST UPDATED 18th January, 2024

These Kiosked Publisher Terms and Conditions (the “Publisher Terms“) represent a binding legal agreement between Kiosked Information Systems Limited (a company established in Ireland, registration number 496096, “Kiosked”) and you, on behalf of and as authorized representative of the publisher company you represent (“You”, “you” or “Publisher”).

1. Kiosked Service

These Publisher Terms govern Publisher’s use of the Kiosked publisher services, as further described on www.kiosked.com (“Kiosked Service”), and the Kiosked Publisher Services Agreement(s) executed by Publisher (the Publisher Terms and the Kiosked Publisher Services Agreement collectively the “Agreement”). In the event that Publisher uses the Kiosked Service prior to executing a Kiosked Publisher Agreement, Publisher’s use of the Kiosked Service shall be subject to these Kiosked Publisher Terms in force and published on www.kiosked.com/terms-conditions from time to time and the then-current default revenue share model applied by Kiosked. As used in these Publisher Terms, capitalized terms shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms herein or in the Publisher Services Agreement.

By using the Kiosked Service, You represent and warrant that you are authorized to bind the Publisher to these Publisher Terms. If you do not agree with these terms or a part thereof or in case you are not authorized to bind the Publisher, you and the Publisher are not authorized to use the Kiosked Service.

You acknowledge that Kiosked is continuously developing the features and the functionality of the Kiosked Service. Kiosked may, from time to time, under its sole discretion, modify and update the Kiosked Service or a part thereof and may cease to provide the Kiosked Service in whole or in part. You acknowledge further that the Kiosked Service may also be temporarily unavailable for maintenance or other reasons.

Publisher acknowledges and agrees that Kiosked shall exercise full operational control over the advertisements and other content served via the Kiosked Service to and on Publisher Properties, including without limitation, playing or showing any and all video advertising without sound (on mute) to any visitors or viewers of such properties.

In case you use any Kiosked Service requiring prior online registration, you are responsible for keeping your login details used for registering to such Kiosked Service confidential. The login details are personal and may not be transferred or disclosed to any third party. You undertake to notify Kiosked immediately of any known or suspected unauthorized disclosure or use of your login details. Until receipt of such notification by Kiosked, you are responsible for all use of your Kiosked Service Account.

2. Changes to Publisher Terms

Kiosked may modify these Publisher Terms at any time by posting the revised terms to www.kiosked.com or to the Kiosked Service or by emailing you. Changes are effective immediately when we post them or email them. Your continued use of the Kiosked Service means that you have accepted the changed Publisher Terms.

3. Revenue Share

Kiosked shall calculate the Net Revenue for each relevant calendar month solely based on records and measurements compiled and maintained by Kiosked. No other measurements or statistics of any kind shall be accepted by Kiosked or have any effect under this Agreement (including but not limited to any statistics compiled or maintained by You). “Net Revenue” for each calendar month is defined as the amount of fees actually received by Kiosked based on monetized advertisement impressions served by Kiosked Service on Publisher Properties during the relevant calendar month as measured by Kiosked, net of value added taxes, other duties, costs, fees, revenue generated through Artificial Traffic or other invalid traffic, impressions, clicks or other invalid transactions or data fees. Publisher shall receive the specified share of the Net Revenue as agreed between the parties in the Kiosked Publisher Agreement, unless otherwise specified herein (the “Revenue Share”).

For clarity, Kiosked shall not be obliged to pay any amounts to Publisher for any advertising impressions or any other action which, pursuant to Kiosked reasonable assessment, may be: (i) based on Artificial Traffic, (ii) originating from Publisher’s IP addresses or computers or networks under Publisher’s control, (iii) solicited, requested or purchased by Publisher for the purpose of accumulate Revenue Share; (iv) impressions for which Kiosked is unable to charge its customers (for whatever reason); or (v) impressions co-mingled with a significant amount of Artificial Traffic described above. You acknowledge that any participation or attempted participation or violation of any of the foregoing is a material breach of this Agreement and may be sanctioned under criminal law. In case of suspected violations Kiosked reserves the right to withhold payments until such violations and/or any revenue clawbacks by Kiosked demand partners have been duly investigated.

“Artificial Traffic” shall mean invalid, automated, deceptive or fraudulent impressions, which may, without limitation, be generated by or originating from any person or which may originate without limitation from automatic openings, spiders, robots, automated programs, browser toolbar, adware or spyware, requests in e-mail or chat rooms, script generators, placing and using Kiosked Service in a manner they are not intended to be placed or used, impressions which are not generated by a browser and impressions which are not preceded by an active act of an end user.

Unless otherwise agreed, in case the parties have agreed on any prepayments or advances of the Revenue Share, such prepayment shall be set off against any Revenue Share accrued to Publisher under this Agreement until the prepayment has been fully recouped. In case of expiry or termination of this Agreement prior to the full recoupment of the prepayment, Publisher shall repay to Kiosked the un-recouped amount of the prepayment immediately upon such expiry or termination.

4. Payment

Kiosked shall pay to the Publisher the applicable Revenue Share within 60 days from the end of the relevant month, if the balance is US $50 or more. In the event that the Agreement is terminated, Kiosked shall pay your outstanding balance within 90 days from the termination of the Agreement, on the condition that Kiosked has received the Net Revenue attributable to Your use of the Kiosked Service by said date. Kiosked shall in no event make any payments if Your balance is less than USD 10. All amounts shall be payable in US Dollars unless agreed otherwise.

Before sending the Revenue Share to You, Kiosked may provide You with a preliminary estimate of the Revenue Share. You acknowledge and agree that such estimate is not binding on Kiosked and is subject to change, and that the actual Revenue Share payable to You shall be finally determined only after Kiosked has received the Net Revenue in question.

The agreed Revenue Share is inclusive of any taxes or other official duties, which may be charged from the Revenue Share. You agree to pay all applicable taxes or charges imposed by any government entity in connection with Your use of the Kiosked Service or receipt of the Revenue Share. In case Kiosked has an obligation to pay withholding tax or other official charges based on the Revenue Share, Kiosked shall be entitled to deduct corresponding amounts from actual payments made to You.

Each Party shall be liable for its own applicable official charges as well as charges imposed by the bank or other credit institution engaged by the Party to send and receive payments under this Agreement. For the avoidance of any doubt, Kiosked applies so-called shared bank charges to any payments under the Agreement, i.e. Kiosked is responsible only for the fees charged by Kiosked’s bank.

Kiosked reserves the right to withhold from making any payments in case it has reason to believe You have breached the terms of this Agreement. If you dispute any payment made under this Agreement, you must notify Kiosked in writing within thirty (30) days of any such payment, failure to notify Kiosked shall result in the waiver by You of any claim relating to any such disputed payment.

Payment of Revenue Share is subject to You providing Kiosked with such payment, identification and other information and documentation as Kiosked may request from You from time to time. You understand that Kiosked may not be able to pay you Revenue Share in accordance with this Agreement should You fail to provide such information or material or if such information or material is not correct, complete or up-to-date.

Kiosked shall not be held responsible for verifying the accuracy or legitimacy of the beneficiary information provided by the Publisher in connection with this contract. The Publisher acknowledges and agrees that any claims regarding the beneficiary's status, including but not limited to claims of the beneficiary being a private person (domain owner) or any other entity, shall be the sole responsibility of the Publisher. The Publisher further acknowledges and agrees that Kiosked relies on the information provided by the Publisher regarding the beneficiary and does not undertake any independent verification of the same. The Publisher agrees to indemnify and hold Kiosked harmless from any claims, demands, or actions arising out of or related to the beneficiary information provided by the Publisher.
