Each pricing model shall be referred to as a “Charge Event”. An Advertiser shall also set the price for the Advertising Material (the “Price”). The charge shall be calculated having regard to the applicable Charge Event and Price. For example, if an Advertiser has opted for CPM and has set the price at $1.00, the Advertiser shall be charged a fee of $1.00 for every 1,000 impressions. 5.2. A Publisher shall be entitled to a revenue share received from the applicable ChainAds Ad Tag (the “Net Fees”). By providing the Services you agree to accept the relevant Charges. You acknowledge and agree that the payment obligations hereunder are based solely on: - the number of impressions/clicks/actions, as determined solely by ChainAds, - ChainAds receiving the Fees from the Advertisers, and not on any other criteria. You shall be able to view the number of impressions/clicks/actions via your Dashboard. 5.3. You acknowledge and agree that ChainAds may make adjustments to the number of impressions/clicks/actions or to your Account's balance in case of software errors, server downtime, or under any other circumstance that caused a discrepancy in the number of impressions/clicks/actions or in your Account's balance, in order to remedy and rectify any inaccuracies. 5.4. You acknowledge and agree that ChainAds may make adjustments to the balance in your Account in the event that there is a chargeback request from an Advertiser, as this will reduce the Fees received from the Advertisers and accordingly the amount of the revenue share. You further agree that the revenue share is subject to chargebacks and, as such, is conditional, even subsequent to its payment to you. 5.5. ChainAds may, in its sole and absolute discretion, offer you custom Net Fees, custom Payment Dates, and custom Minimum Net Fee (each a “Custom Term”). Any Custom Term must be agreed in writing between the Parties. You undertake not to disclose any of the information contained in a Custom Term to any third party. 5.6. ChainAds shall pay the Publisher the Net Fees bi-monthly in arrears on the 1st and 16th day of each month (collectively “Payment Dates” and each a “Payment Date”) on a NET15 basis provided that each Payment Date falls on a Business Day.

Payments shall be made to the bank account, payment service provider account, or debit/credit card registered on your Account. 5.8. ChainAds utilizes Hyperwallet payment services to deliver payments to you. Such payment services are subject to the Hyperwallet Terms of Service and the Hyperwallet Privacy Policy. 5.9. In the event that the Net Fee is less than the “Minimum Net Fee”, ChainAds shall hold payment until the Net Fee exceeds the Minimum Net Fee. Once the Net Fees have exceeded the Minimum Net Fee, ChainAds shall pay the Publisher the Net Fee on the next Payment Date. 5.10. ChainAds has no control, and is not responsible for any fees or charges that may be imposed by a financial institution (such as a bank or other payment services provider) on the transfer of the Net Fees to a Publisher. You agree that any Net Fees received by you may be received net, after the deduction of any fees or charges imposed on the transfer. 5.11. ChainAds may, on a Publisher’s written request, pay the Net Fees to the Publisher in a currency other than USD (for example, EUR, GBP or XBT), referring solely to such exchange rate as calculated by ChainAds’s bank or payment provider (the “Conversion”). ChainAds shall not be responsible or liable for any losses which may be suffered by you as a result of the Conversion, nor shall ChainAds be liable for any errors in the rates of exchange provided by ChainAds’s bank or payment provider. 5.12.

The invoices shall be generated automatically having regard to the Charges applicable for each Payment Date. 5.13. Publisher shall provide ChainAds with accurate data which is fully and legally compliant for the purposes of invoicing and taxation. 5.14. Any Publisher residing in the European Union who has provided a VAT number expressly warrants that such VAT number is, in its own country, valid for the issuance of VAT-exempt invoices to ChainAds. The Publisher expressly accepts to be solely liable for any error, direct or indirect loss or damage arising from the inaccuracy or non-compliance of such data or the breach of any of the aforementioned warranties and, accordingly, the Publisher will hold ChainAds harmless from any of the direct or indirect loss or damages. Publisher hereby confirms that another VAT invoice won’t be issued. 5.15. Publisher shall notify ChainAds if their VAT registration number has changed or was cancelled. 5.16. In case there is any claim, administrative proceeding from any authority, dispute or conflict, in any way due to the inaccuracy or non-compliance of any data provided by the Publisher, ChainAds is expressly authorized to retain any payments due to the Publisher until such incident has been resolved. 5.17.
