SCHEDULE A: ADDITIONAL SERVICES

  1. In addition to the Services mentioned in clause 3 of the Main Agreement, KOOLMETRIX may also provide for free Online Advertising setup and management independent services (henceforth “Additional Services”), as detailed in clause 1 of this Schedule A, for the duration of the free trial period mentioned in clause 2 of the Main Agreement, upon request by Client. “Online Advertising” means the placement of targeted ads on the Internet by using the technology/platform Google Ads. For PLATINUM PLAN subscribers, it also means the use of the technology/platform Facebook Ads.
  2. Client must request the provision of the above Additional Services in writing, including email, and the provision of said services will not start until KOOLMETRIX has accepted Client’s aforementioned written request. KOOLMETRIX is not obliged to accept Client’s request and may at its own discretion refuse to provide Additional Services.

The following terms and conditions shall apply with regard to the provision of the Additional Services:

 

  1. KOOLMETRIX undertakes in particular to provide Additional Services for free by using one of the following frameworks, which will be chosen by Client in writing:
  2. DIY (Do it Yourself): KOOLMETRIX will send detailed instructions to Client with regard to the Additional Services. Online Advertising setup and management will be done solely by Client and KOOLMETRIX will not provide any further setup or management services. After sending the above instructions, KOOLMETRIX will provide clarifications to Client, if necessary.
  3. DWY (Done With You): KOOLMETRIX will cooperate with Client (or Client’s contractor) with regard to the Additional Services. Online Advertising setup and management will be done by Client (or Client’s contractor) and KOOLMETRIX will provide active support, consulting and supervision. KOOLMETRIX will not provide any further setup or management services.
  4. DFY (Done For You): KOOLMETRIX will solely provide the Additional Services to Client. Online Advertising setup and management will be done solely by KOOLMETRIX. If Client requests the provision by KOOLMETRIX of direct Online Advertising budget management services, then the amount of the advertising expenditure, including the relevant VAT, will be paid in advance to KOOLMETRIX by Client, otherwise KOOLMETRIX will not be able to provide said services. At the end of the free trial period mentioned in clause 2 of the Main Agreement, KOOLMETRIX will deliver setup and management to Client and will provide detailed instructions.
  5. KOOLMETRIX, at its own discretion, may agree to provide limited customer support to Client in relation to the Additional Services, after the end of the free trial period mentioned in clause 2 of the Main Agreement.

  7. Client shall grant to KOOLMETRIX appropriate access to his Google Ads and Facebook Ads (for PLATINUM PLAN subscribers only) accounts. The aforementioned Client’s accounts with third-party providers to which KOOLMETRIX gains access, as well as their content, are under the exclusive management of Client, unless Client chooses the framework under clause 1.C. (DFY) of this Schedule A, in which case the aforementioned accounts shall be managed by KOOLMETRIX for the duration of the free trial period mentioned in clause 2 of the Main Agreement. The only changes made by KOOLMETRIX concern exclusively the above Additional Services under clause 1 of this Schedule A. KOOLMETRIX shall not be liable for any delays or errors caused by delayed or inappropriate granting of access or modifications made by Client to said third party accounts. These third party services will be invoiced directly to the Client.
  8. Client acknowledges that KOOLMETRIX in no way guarantees, nor could it by nature of the above technologies guarantee, the achievement of specific objectives as a result of the provision of its Additional Services, such as, for example, a percentage increase in website traffic or in popularity of page/social network profile, a percentage increase in Client’s active clientele or its turnover. Any reference to such measurable results is based on the experience and results of the previous work of KOOLMETRIX but it is strictly indicative, does not bind KOOLMETRIX, nor does it create any claim or right to compensation in favor of Client in the event that the same or similar results are not achieved.
  9. In relation to all other relevant matters (Termination, Nature of Collaboration, Client’s Information, Force Majeure, KOOLMETRIX’s Liability, Intellectual Property Rights, Confidentiality, Personal Data, Cookies, etc.) the appropriate terms of the Main Agreement shall apply.
