Sponsored articles (hereinafter also referred to as "Paid Articles") are texts (including attached media) advertising the product, company or service of an Advertiser or other texts of informative nature.
If an Advertiser wishes to commission the preparation of a paid Article, then the rules of mediation by the Service Provider for this Service are specified in point 9 of the Terms and Conditions. Services may also include the preparation of an Article payable by the Publisher. In such a case, the rules of preparation of such material are specified in the provisions of these Rules and Regulations and the offer of the Publisher (however, in the event of inconsistency between the Rules and Regulations and the offer, the provisions of the offer shall apply), while the conditions of making the Portal space available and publication are specified in these Rules and Regulations of the Publisher. An Advertiser acknowledges that the publication of a paid Article prepared by a Publisher does not give the Advertiser any rights to the content or form of a paid Article.
An Advertiser must take into account the fact that a given Publisher may designate an article payable as a sponsored article or in any other equivalent manner.
When an Advertiser submits an article payable for publication, he shall specify whether it is unique content, i.e. content not previously published on the Internet or content previously published on the Internet. Such marking must be unambiguous and will be visible on the Website for both the Service Provider and potential Publishers.
Where an Advertiser transfers a paid article to the Service Provider, the Service Provider has the right, but not the obligation, to check whether such a paid article is unique. This verification may be carried out in particular on the basis of the CopyScape tool. Where a paid Article is not unique and the Advertiser has not indicated the non-uniqueness in the form when adding a paid Article, Service Provider may prevent the paid Article from being transferred to the Publisher.
The Service Provider is not obliged to verify whether the Paid Articles delivered (and the consequences of their subsequent publication) do not violate the law, both in terms of their content, admissibility of publication and ownership of rights to the content and other forms of communication used (photos, graphics, etc.). The Service Provider shall not be liable for any possible violations of law caused by Paid Articles.
Paid articles may contain active links to the Advertiser's websites. The number and type of links accepted for publication depend on the offer of the Publisher and such information is visible on the Website at the offers of Publishers.
The Advertiser is obliged to read the information provided by the Publishers concerning the rules of making available the space of the Portals and the publication of paid articles. Such information, visible on the Website pages, may specify in particular:
Technical and substantive requirements for published Paid Articles published on his pages;
Examples of the reasons why he may reject an offer to publish a paid article.
Placing an order by an Advertiser means acceptance of the conditions of making available the space of the Portal and the publication of paid articles offered by the Publisher and required by the Rules and Regulations, the conditions indicated in the Rules and Regulations of the Publishers, as well as the basis for the Service Provider to collect remuneration. Placing an order also means that the Advertiser authorizes the Publisher to publish the Article payable on his Portal in order to provide the Service.
The remuneration for the Service of making the Portal space available and publication of paid Articles shall determine the part of the Website appropriate for this Service. The remuneration is payable to the Service Provider on the basis of an invoice issued by the Service Provider, at the latest at the moment of placing an order by the Advertiser.
After collecting payments from an Advertiser, the Service Provider, using the functionality of the Website, orders for Advertisers to make available the space of the Portals in order to publish Articles payable by the Publisher, provided that the following conditions are met:
The content of a paid article is ready and available on the Website for viewing by the Publisher together with attachments, structure, arrangement of links - (this does not apply if the Publisher prepares the content of a paid article);

The Advertiser has complied with all the requirements of the Terms and Conditions which are related to this Service.
The Service Provider shall inform the Issuer of the order no later than within 1 working day of receipt of the Advertiser's order.
The Advertiser acknowledges that making the space of the Portals available and publication of paid articles requires the prior approval of the Publisher, and the Publisher has the right to refuse to make the space of the Portals available and to publish a sponsored article without giving any reason. For the avoidance of doubt, any statements made by the Service Provider with respect to the publication of a paid article only concern the verification by the Service Provider as an intermediary (point 2.10 of the Terms and Conditions) of the potential possibility of publication, i.e. with respect to compliance of the activities and the paid article with the Terms and Conditions, and do not constitute any assurance made on behalf of the Publisher, nor do they guarantee the publication of a paid article by the Publisher.
The agreement concerning the provision of space on the Portal and the publication of a paid article shall be concluded at the moment of acceptance of the Advertiser's order by the Publisher, pursuant to clause 5.15, i.e. at the moment of downloading the article and marking the publication by the Publisher.
In connection with the provision of the Portal space and publication of a paid article through the automated functions of the Website, the Service Provider shall request the Publisher to mark in the Website system that the Portal space has been made available and that the agreed publication has been made. The "designation" in the above sense shall be understood as the fact that the Publisher provides the Internet address of the made available space of the Portal. The marking has the effect that it automatically notifies the Advertiser via e-mail about the publication of a paid Article. The Publisher is obliged to publish the article within 3 working days from the date of order acceptance (point 5.15). In special cases, this deadline may be different, but it is then clearly marked on the Website next to the portal and the publisher's offer.
After a paid article is published and marked on the Website, the Advertiser shall verify the availability of the space on the Website and the correctness of the publication, whereas the Service Provider shall have the right but not the obligation to do so; such verification shall consist in checking the compliance of the availability of the space on the Website and the publication of the paid article with the agreement concluded in this respect. The Advertiser must verify the fact of publication by the Publisher within 2 working days of the fact of publication by the Publisher being indicated on the Website. If, according to the offer of a Publisher accepted by an Advertiser, it is the Publisher who prepares a paid Article, the Advertiser shall accept its content within 2 working days of the transfer of the Article paid by the Publisher - in this respect the provision of point 9.12 of the Regulations shall apply accordingly.
If the Advertiser does not verify the publication of the article within 2 working days of the designation of the fact that the space of the Portal has been made available and that the Publisher has published the article, it shall be deemed that the paid article has been published correctly. Any subsequent changes to the publication made by an Advertiser may be treated as a form of an amendment to the contract for making the Portal space available and publication of a paid article, which takes place pursuant to point 7 of the Regulations (Modification of published articles), which means in particular that it may be related to additional costs of an Advertiser.
If the space of the Portal is not made available, if the Article paid for by the Publisher is published in a manner inconsistent with the agreement or if the publication is delayed, which has been notified in accordance with point 5.18 of the Terms and Conditions and with the exception of the case referred to in point 5.19, the Service Provider together with the Advertiser shall decide whether:
The Contractor shall make the space of the Portal available in accordance with the contract;
The Publisher improves the content of the publication - then the Service Provider and Advertiser specify the date and scope of the changes;
An Advertiser withdraws from the contract in whole or in part - then the remuneration paid by an Advertiser is refundable according to the scope of withdrawal.
In the event that, as a result of the inconsistency of the Service with the agreement, one of the circumstances referred to in clause 5.20 occurs, any claims on this account shall be directed by the Advertiser against the Publisher. Such claims may not, however, exceed the amount of remuneration agreed for a given publication.
Within the scope of the remuneration provided for in the agreement, the affiliate should make the space of the Portal available and maintain the publication of the Article payable for at least one year in an unchanged content, unless otherwise specified in the affiliate's offer or one of the circumstances specified in point 5.23 of the Rules and Regulations occurs. The provisions of Clause 5.21 shall apply accordingly, with the proviso that making the Portal available and maintaining the publication for a period longer than the agreed period shall not be considered a breach of contract. Any declaration or declaration of the Publisher on maintaining the publication for a period longer than 1 (one) year shall be treated as non-binding and shall not constitute grounds for any claims against the Service Provider.
The period of making the space of the Portal available and publication of the paid Article may be shortened, without the right to make any claims against the Service Provider or the Publisher, including claims for reimbursement of remuneration or compensation, if any:
The Publisher has suspended or terminated the Portal;
the publication has been removed because it violated legal regulations or there was a justified suspicion that it violated legal regulations;
the publication was removed because it violated the rights of third parties or there was a reasonable suspicion that it violated the rights of third parties;
the publication has been removed at the request of the Advertiser pursuant to clause 5.24;
An Advertiser acts knowingly to the disadvantage of the Publisher, e.g. by unnatural linking of an article;
An Advertiser has violated the provisions of the Regulations, which refer to his obligations after the date of publication;
it is a consequence of force majeure.
At the request of an Advertiser, the Service Provider may request the Publisher to remove the paid Article earlier. If such a request is made, Service Provider, with due and professional diligence, is obliged to make efforts to ensure that the Publisher removes the Article payable within 3 working days of receipt of such information. If the Removal of a Paid Article is done in this manner, the Advertiser shall not be entitled to claim any part of the remuneration.
The affiliate has the right to change the URL address of the available space of the Portal and the paid Article during the publication period referred to in clause 5.22. If the address or domain is changed, this must be done with redirection 301. Such a change shall not be considered a violation of the rules of making the available space of the Portal and publication of the paid Article.
In the event that the affiliate has received a manual filter "Unnatural links from your website" or an analogous filter (from Google) concerning the website on which the publication took place, the affiliate may change the attribute of the links in the article to nofollow. Such action will not be considered a breach of the contract concluded with respect to the publication.
In the event that, pursuant to the Regulations, there is a basis for reimbursement of remuneration to an Advertiser (in whole or in part) and the Service Provider does not receive adequate reimbursement of remuneration paid to the Publisher within 10 working days from the date of the basis for such reimbursement (in whole or in part - as appropriate), the Service Provider shall withhold reimbursement of remuneration in this part to the Advertiser and the Advertiser shall have the right to claim reimbursement of costs of making the Portal space available and publication of the article, but only directly from the Publisher in the part which constituted the remuneration to the Publisher. To this end, the Service Provider is obliged to take all measures to exercise this right by the Advertiser, including assigning all rights under this right and providing the address and contact details of the Publisher.
The Advertiser undertakes not to contact the Publisher with the omission of the Service Provider regarding the availability of the space of the Portal and the Paid Articles to be or have been published on the Website. This does not apply to cases explicitly allowed by the Regulations, including those based on points. 5.27.
In special situations, the Service Provider reserves the right to additional fees for non-standard activities, even if they are not provided for in the Website or in the agreement concerning making the Portal's space available and publication, if they result from the fault of an Advertiser or are carried out at the request of an Advertiser.

An Advertiser may order changes to articles published by the Website through the Website, i.e. articles of paid and expert guest articles.
Changes to published articles are introduced by the Publishers, but taking into account the arrangements made with the Advertiser.
Communication concerning changes in published articles shall take place exclusively through the Website. An Advertiser undertakes not to contact the Publisher directly regarding articles published on the Website.
The service of changing the content of published articles (paid and expert) is payable, the cost of this service depends on the scope of changes and the cost specified by the Publisher. Within the framework of the relevant provisions of the Service, the given amounts are only indicative, refer to typical, simple activities, so binding determination of the amount of remuneration at this stage is not possible due to the variety of changes that may be introduced. For this reason, the provisions of the Service in this part do not constitute an offer within the meaning of the provisions of the Civil Code, and the conclusion of an agreement on the introduction of changes, including the determination of remuneration, is made, taking into account point 7.5, in accordance with the Civil Code.
In accordance with the content of clause 7.4, within the framework of determining the remuneration, in the first place the reference point is the amount of remuneration indicated in the Service. The Website within its functionalities may, however, change the cost of introducing changes to the published article depending on the type of changes proposed by an Advertiser and the Publisher's expectations. Within the functionality of the Website, an Advertiser, within 2 working days of determining the new price, is obliged to approve or reject the offer. Failure to approve the price within this period means rejection of the offer and failure to conclude the contract.
At any stage of negotiations the Publisher may refuse to introduce changes to the published article. In such a case, the Advertiser may use the rights referred to in clauses 5.24 (for Paid Articles) and 6.23 (for Expert Articles).
The scope of changes to an article may not concern its subject matter or changes greater than 50% of its content (counted in characters). Changes that do not meet these requirements shall mean the Advertiser's offer of a new Article of a paid guest article or a new expert guest article.
If the agreement comes into force, the affiliate shall be obliged to publish the changes to the content of the article to the merchant within 3 working days.
In connection with the publication of an article, the Service Provider shall request the Publisher to indicate to the Advertiser within 24 hours of the changes in the publication of the changes in the system of the Website that such a change in the publication has occurred. The designation has the effect that it automatically notifies the Advertiser via e-mail about the publication of the change.
After making changes to the article and marking this fact on the Website, the Advertiser verifies the correctness of the introduction of changes to the publication, while the Service Provider has the right, but not the obligation; the verification consists in checking the compliance of the change with the contract concluded in this respect. Verification by the Advertiser must take place within 2 working days from the date of marking the fact of making changes by the Publisher at the latest.
If the Advertiser does not verify the changes to the publication of the article within 2 working days from its publication, it shall be deemed that the changes to the article have been published correctly. Any later changes made by the Advertiser mean that a new modification procedure must be carried out under point 7.
The introduction of changes to a published article does not create an obligation for the Publisher to maintain it on the website for a longer period than originally agreed, unless otherwise agreed in a given case. In order for such a change of the publication period to be possible, an Advertiser's proposal in this respect should be included in the guidelines for changes to the article prepared by an Advertiser and it will be an element of negotiations conducted in accordance with point 7.4 of the Regulations.
In matters not regulated by this point, the provisions of points 5 and 6 shall apply accordingly, and adequately to the circumstances, unless they are contrary to point 7.4 of the Regulations.

Further provisions of point 8 apply to the statistics referred to in this point 8.2.
Selected Publishers may indicate that they do not make the statistics available at all. Then, Advertisers are not able to order statistics from them (even for a fee). In such a case, the provisions of the Regulations relating to statistics do not apply to such Publishers.
Information about the Publisher who currently provides statistics and the scope of statistics is among the information referred to in point 2.11 of the Rules and Regulations. Access to statistics is not dependent on the Service Provider, therefore the Service Provider cannot guarantee the permanence of this access, so the loss of such access is not a basis for any claims.
Statistics should contain at least information about the number of page views of an article or the number of unique users who have entered a subpage with an article.
The conclusion of an agreement concerning the statistics made available by the Publisher on the basis of point 8.2. shall take place at the moment of placing an order by the Advertiser, the admissibility, scope and payment of which are specified in the provisions of this point of the Regulations.
Pursuant to the provisions of the Rules and Regulations of the Publishers, if the Publisher indicates that he cannot place the Service Provider's tracking codes referred to in point 8.1 or places them incorrectly next to an article, then the Advertiser may order from the Publisher a single free access to the statistics (once for an article), if the statistics are available from the Publisher at all (point 8.3).
The provision of paragraph 8.7 shall not apply if, in accordance with the Publisher's declaration, the Advertiser could have included in the article the tracking code developed by the Service Provider (paragraph 8.1), but the Advertiser has not made use of this possibility. In such a case, an Advertiser, each time placing an order, must pay remuneration for the statistics obtained from the Publisher, provided that the Publisher makes the statistics available (point 8.3).
Access to the statistics of one article generated by the Publishers, except for the cases expressly indicated in the Regulations, is payable and accounted for at the current rates indicated in the relevant part of the Website. These rates may be subject to temporary changes in accordance with the rules described in point 4 of the Regulations.
Pursuant to the provisions of the Rules and Regulations of the Publisher and subject to point 8.3, the Publisher should make the statistics available to the Advertiser within 2 working days from the moment of ordering them by the Advertiser, provided that the order was placed in accordance with the provisions of the Rules and Regulations.
