Supply Partner acknowledges and agrees that there are two (2) possible payment methods for Sub-Supply Partner Services: (i) Gadsme will remit the applicable Revenue Share to Supply Partner; or (ii) Gadsme will remit the applicable Revenue Share to Sub-Supply Partner. If subsection (ii) applies: (A) the applicable Sub-Supply Partner is responsible for remitting corresponding amounts owed to Supply Partner (as determined by the applicable Sub-Supply Partner Agreement); and (B) Gadsme has no responsibility for payment obligations to Supply Partner for sales of Ad Inventory through the Sub-Supply Partner.

In the event that Gadsme has remitted Revenue Share to Supply Partner or Sub-Supply Partner but has not received the corresponding amounts of Gross Advertising Revenue (because of, for example, invalid or fraudulent traffic, discrepancies in billing numbers and/or uncollected accounts), Gadsme may, as permitted by Gadsme’s agreements with Sub-Supply Partners, and as applicable: (i) withhold such amounts from the Revenue Share until they are collected; (ii) set off such amounts against future Revenue Share or other amounts payable by Gadsme to Company or Sub-Supply Partner; or (iii) require Company to pay (and Company will pay within thirty (30) days of receiving notice) an amount equal to any amounts remitted to Company in respect of which the corresponding Gross Advertising Revenue has not actually been collected.

Validation of an Auto-Invoice by the Supply Partner through the Dashboard shall constitute definitive and irrevocable acceptance of the amounts stated therein. Following such Validation, the Supply Partner shall no longer be entitled to dispute, challenge, or make any claim regarding the validated Auto-Invoice. Where the Supply Partner issues its own invoice, such invoice must be based exclusively on the definitive revenues displayed on the Dashboard.
Gadsme shall process payment within sixty (60) days following (i) receipt of a valid invoice issued by the Supply Partner; or (ii) Validation of the applicable Auto-Invoice by the Supply Partner, subject to any contrary terms in Gadsme’s agreement with a particular Sub-Supply Partner, in which case such agreement governs in respect of applicable payments.
The Supply Partner expressly authorizes Gadsme to issue self-billed invoices on its behalf in accordance with applicable tax and accounting regulations. The Supply Partner will have access through the Platform to a dashboard (“Dashboard”) that provides access to financial reporting as well as statistics and measurement regarding its account. Revenues to the Supply Partner may differ from what is actually displayed on the Dashboard as media buying fee, bid reductions, operating fees, fraud, chargebacks, refunds, uncollected amounts, and other reasonable deductions may impact definitive revenues due to the Supply Partner. Revenues may be adjusted by Gadsme until 60 days after the end of the relevant month. The definitive revenues and statistics displayed on the Dashboard after final adjustment by Gadsme shall be final and binding for invoicing and payment purposes. If adjustments have to be made in one way or another after an invoice has been paid by Gadsme, those adjustments will be carried on the following invoice.
Any amount relating to an Auto-Invoice that remains neither validated nor formally disputed by the Supply Partner within one (1) year following the date on which such Auto-Invoice was made available on the Dashboard shall be permanently forfeited and no longer payable by Gadsme.
Supply Partner agrees that all Gadsme measurements and statistics are final and binding. Any adjustments to a campaign made by the Supply Partner or at a Supply Partner’s direction, such as adjustments to budgets or pausing, are the sole responsibility of the Supply Partner and the Supply Partner shall be responsible for any costs incurred relating to such adjustments. Gadsme may make adjustments on the Supply Partner’s behalf pursuant to the written instructions of the Supply Partner.
The Supply Partner shall not issue a separate invoice for amounts already covered by a validated Auto-Invoice.
No payment will be issued for any amount less than $350.00 U.S. All unpaid earnings will rollover to the next pay period and be paid as soon as they reach $350 U.S.
If the difference between the final Gadsme measurement and the Supply Partner measurement exceeds ten percent (10%), the Supply Partner must notify Gadsme within 15 days following the billable month and the Parties will attempt to resolve the discrepancy in good faith. All discrepancies not shared within 15 days following the end of a billable month will be considered as non-existing.
Supply Partner agrees that Gadsme can charge for reasonable transaction fees in addition to the official currency change rate when the payment’s currency to the Supply Partner is different than the currency used by the Advertisers to pay Gadsme. Such transaction fee cannot be superior to 6.2% of the due earnings. Any change in the payment currency by the Supply Partner might also incur a transaction fee. In addition, Supply Partner shall pay all applicable fees, taxes, commissions, transaction fees or the like in connection with such payment.
The Supply Partner acknowledges that the Gadsme Platform is set up in UTC time zone. Supply Partners are responsible for ensuring that their bank details and address are correct in their Gadsme Account details in order to receive payment.
Except as otherwise stated herein, all payments are exclusive of any applicable taxes which shall be payable at the time and in the manner required by law. All taxes, customs duties and charges of a similar nature which are applicable (other than those based on the net income of Gadsme) are to be paid by the Supply Partner, who shall be solely liable for their payment.
Any Impression generated in violation of this Agreement shall not be counted for purposes of calculating any compensation owed to the Supply Partner. Gadsme can also withhold payment to the Supply Partner in the case of the number of Impressions disputed by its Demand Supply Partners.
Gadsme in no way promises 100% ‘Inventory Sell Rate’ for an Ad Opportunity sent to Gadsme by Supply Partner. Supply Partner acknowledges and agrees that not all Ad Opportunities provided by Supply Partner will be filled with a Paid Ad Impression from Gadsme and therefore there is no guarantee that there will be revenue generated for every Ad Opportunity provided by Supply Partner.

13. Confidentiality
For the purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means the terms of this Agreement and any non-public information, know-how and trade secrets in any form that are designated as confidential or that would reasonably be expected to be treated as confidential, provided that Confidential Information shall not include information which:
- is or becomes available in the public domain independent of any fault of the receiving party;
- is known to the receiving party prior to the disclosing party divulging it;
- is legitimately received from a third party not subject to a confidentiality obligation; or
- must be disclosed by law, by any court of competent jurisdiction or by any regulatory or administrative body (in which case it can be disclosed only insofar as required and after the receiving party informs the disclosing party that it has received a request for disclosure, where legally permitted).
Each of the Parties agrees to:
- keep confidential any Confidential Information that it receives from the other Party, and exercise at least the same degree of care as it does to protect its own Confidential Information;
- not disclose any Confidential Information of the other Party without the other Party’s prior express consent to any third party whatsoever; other than its employees, representatives, affiliate companies who need to know the information in order to perform duties under the Agreement; and
- use the other Party’s Confidential Information only to exercise its rights and fulfill its obligations under the terms of the Agreement.
The Parties’ obligations regarding Confidential Information will remain in force for the term of this Agreement and for a period of two (2) years after termination or expiry for any reason, provided that the Parties’ obligations with respect to trade secrets shall continue until such time as such trade secrets have entered the public domain other than by breach of this Agreement by the non-disclosing Party.
Upon request each of the Parties shall return as soon as possible all copies of documents and media containing the other Party’s Confidential Information upon termination or expiry of the Agreement.
Neither party will issue any other press releases or make any other public disclosures regarding this Agreement without the other party’s prior written consent, provided however, that the Parties agree to issue a mutually agreed upon press release within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date announcing the partnership between Gadsme and the Supply Partner.

Appendix 2 - Fraudulent Traffic
For the purposes of this Agreement, “Invalid Traffic” or “Fraudulent Traffic” includes, without limitation:
- Datacenter Traffic Traffic originating from IP addresses identified as belonging to data centers, cloud hosting providers, or non-residential infrastructure. Such traffic is classified as non-human as it does not originate from a legitimate end-user device or residential network. For that purpose, Gadsme takes the following external data base of datacenters: https://ipapi.is/hosting-detection.html.
- App Spoofing Traffic where the User-Agent string contains indicators of browser engine misrepresentation on mobile devices (e.g., desktop browser engines falsely declared on iOS). This pattern is associated with fraudulent inventory misrepresentation, where the originating application or environment is disguised to appear as a different one.
- Delisted Application Traffic originating from an application that has been flagged and removed from the active inventory pool. Impressions served within delisted applications are considered invalid as the application no longer meets the platform’s quality or compliance standards.
- IP Obfuscation Traffic where the IP address observed at impression rendering time differs from the IP address recorded at ad request time, and the two IP addresses belong to different Autonomous Systems (network operators). This discrepancy indicates the use of proxies, VPNs, or IP masking techniques between the ad request and the ad impression, suggesting non-genuine user activity.
- User-Agent Mismatch Traffic where the User-Agent fingerprint recorded at ad request time does not match the User-Agent observed at impression rendering time. This inconsistency indicates that the impression was rendered in a different browser or device environment than the one that originally requested the ad, a pattern associated with traffic manipulation or replay attacks.
- Blank User-Agent Traffic where the HTTP User-Agent header is absent or empty. Legitimate end-user devices and applications are expected to transmit a valid User-Agent string. The absence of this identifier is indicative of automated or non-browser-based traffic.
- Device ID Stuffing Traffic where a single advertising device identifier (e.g., IDFA, GAID) is observed across an abnormally high number of distinct IP addresses (threshold: 20 or more unique IPs within a 24-hour period). This pattern is indicative of device identity spoofing or reuse of a single device identifier across a bot network.
- High-Risk IP Address Traffic where a single IP address is associated with an abnormally high number of distinct advertising device identifiers (threshold: 20 or more unique device IDs within a 24-hour period). This pattern is indicative of a click farm, device farm, or automated traffic generation from a single network origin.
- Location Obfuscation Traffic where the geographic location derived from the IP address at impression rendering time is more than 200 kilometers away from the location recorded at ad request time, while remaining within the same Autonomous System. This discrepancy suggests location data manipulation or the use of geographically distributed proxy infrastructure.
Gadsme reserves the right to update fraud detection methodologies from time to time based on evolving industry standards and fraud prevention practices.
