Digital Performance Tracking

The Service will be utilized on a monthly cycle. For the purposes of this Agreement, a calendar month is defined as the reporting period (“Reporting Period”). Throughout the month, Affiliates can monitor their online reports within the Castellum reporting system in their accounts. These reports are preliminary and subject to adjustment within thirty (30) days following the end of the Reporting Period. We will employ commercially reasonable methods and practices to direct and measure traffic. Offers may be modified at any time by the Castellum team to align with the Advertiser’s ad-serving statistics. At the end of the Reporting Period, the reports will be finalized, and within the next sixty (60) days, they will reflect the definitive earnings figures. For clarity, the Castellum reporting system (stats) will be considered authoritative in all instances.

The cost associated with using the Service is determined by the number of Offers completed during the reporting period, based on Qualified Actions generated as per Castellum reporting system. This data is available in your account. All billing and delivery reports are solely based on Castellum reporting statistics. If the Affiliate detects any discrepancies in Castellum reporting system, a detailed report must be submitted to Castellum within three (3) calendar days of receiving Castellum reports. Failure to do so will result in Castellum not being held responsible for any discrepancies, and earnings will be calculated based on its reporting system. Should there be a disagreement over the discrepancy, Castellum statistics and reports will be considered final.

Castellum is not liable for actions taken by providers, including transaction fees, commissions, or currency exchange fees. All payments will account for such fees if applicable. Affiliate must handle all taxes applicable to the Services provided, excluding those related to Castellum income.

Affiliate must maintain accurate payment details in their Service account. Should details change, Affiliate must notify Castellum via email at least 14 days before the payment due date. Affiliate is solely responsible for all tax liabilities arising from Program participation.

Advertisers must continuously monitor the quality of traffic received through Castellum’s Services and report any low-quality traffic in writing within 7 days of receipt. Castellum will investigate these reports and determine if the traffic is of low quality, based on sufficient proof and at their discretion.

Advertisers agree to fully pay for (1) all traffic not reported as low quality, (2) low-quality traffic reported after the 7-day period, (3) traffic Castellum determines is not low quality, and (4) all post-back conversions.

If an Advertiser identifies a discrepancy in Castellum’s reporting system for a Reporting Period, they must submit a detailed report within three (3) calendar days of receiving Castellum’s server reports. Failing this, Castellum will not be liable for discrepancies, services will be deemed rendered, and earnings calculated based on Castellum’s reporting system. If discrepancies cannot be resolved, Castellum’s reporting system will prevail.

Castellum offers payments through various payment service providers. Advertisers can choose any available provider but agree that Castellum is not responsible for any actions by the provider, including transaction fees, banking commissions, or currency fees. All payments to Castellum must account for these fees and commissions if applicable.

Advertisers are responsible for all applicable taxes related to ad services. Advertisers shall indemnify Castellum against any losses incurred due to payments made to Castellum.

Advertisers must set spending limits and budgets with a Castellum representative. They must monitor and inform Castellum in writing about actions needed to optimize campaigns. Payments are based on Castellum-issued invoices, either as prepayments or post-payments.

Advertisers agree that credit card and billing information provided to Castellum may be shared with third parties, such as payment processors and credit agencies, for credit checks and payment processing. Castellum is not liable for third-party use or disclosure of billing information.

Advertisers are responsible for any pricing, bid, ad unit value, bidding term, account configuration, or category classification errors that result in completed transactions and must pay associated costs.
