1. General Provisions

1.1. Stylight Inc., a Delaware corporation and subsidiary of Stylight GmbH, a German company, together with its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, successors, and assigns (“Stylight”) owns and operates an online fashion and lifestyle platform located at www.stylight.com and including www.stylight.ca and www.stylight.com.mx, and related mobile applications (the “Site).

1.2. Stylight provides consumers (the “Users”) with free information relating to the products and services provided for purchase from third-party merchants (the “Product Listing Partner”) on the Site — as the Product Listing Partners does with its own shop website (the “Partner Shop”). Each Product Listing Partner submits to Stylight certain product information and data, including, but not limited to, links, product titles and descriptions, product photos, category terms, and other product-related text andd images (the “Partner Data”), in order to present its products on the Site and to generate User engagement on the Site, which results in the referral of Users to the Partner Shop (the “Product Listing Services”). In addition, Stylight provides Advertising Media, as defined in Section 3.1.3, on the Site (the “Ad Services” and, collectively with Product Listing Services, the “Services”) to Ad Services Partners, as defined in Section 3.1.4. Product Listing Partners and Ad Services Partners are hereinafter referred to collectively as “Partner” or “Partners” – however, these terms do not imply a legal partnership between the entities which remain independent contractors.

1.3. Stylight offers the Services solely on the contractual basis set forth in these Terms, the Privacy Policy located at https://about.stylight.com/privacy-policy, and the individual terms set out in an Insertion Order which is separately entered into by the Product Listing Partner (the “Insertion Order”), all of which shall collectively be deemed to form the Agreement (this “Agreement”) that shall govern a Product Listing Partner’s access to the Site and usage of the Services. By accessing the Site or utilizing the Services, the Product Listing Partner hereby agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement as of the effective date, which shall be deemed to be the earliest date upon which: (a) the Product Listing Partner first registers for the Services by executing an Insertion Order; (b) the Product Listing Partner first utilizes the Services; (c) the Product Listing Partner first accesses the Site; or (d) the Product Listing Partner first provides Stylight with any Partner Data to be used in connection with the Site.

1.4. Stylight reserves the right to amend this Agreement, except for (a) changes to essential terms of this Agreement, such as the agreed compensation or the scope of the Services, which can only be amended to the extent described under Section 1.7 below, and (b) retroactive changes to terms and conditions unless they are mandatory for compliance with legal or regulatory obligations or are not beneficial for the Partner.

1.5. Stylight shall provide written notice to the Partner of any proposed changes (“Notice”) and the medium therefor may be electronic. The proposed changes shall not be implemented before the expiration of a notice period of a minimum of 15 days from the Notice (“Notice Period”). The Partner may terminate this Agreement before the expiration of the Notice Period. Such termination shall take effect within 15 days from the receipt of the Notice, unless a shorter period applies to this Agreement.

1.6. The Partner may, either by means of a written statement or a clear affirmative action, waive the Notice Period at any moment from the receipt of the Notice. During the Notice Period, actively submitting new goods or services to the online intermediation services shall be considered clear affirmative action to waive the Notice Period, except in cases where the reasonable and proportionate Notice Period is longer than 15 days because the changes to the Terms require the Partner to make significant technical adjustments to the goods or services. In such cases, the Notice Period shall not be considered automatically waived when the Partner submits new goods and services.

1.7. Stylight reserves the right to reasonably expand, improve, or otherwise modify the Services where necessary for justified and legitimate business interests, in particular to add additional portals or categories for product presentations, to change the existing Services or to make improvements if and to the extent that this is necessary for a valid reason which could not be foreseen at the time of conclusion of this Agreement and provided that this change does not shift the relationship between performance and consideration to the disadvantage of the Partner. Such valid reasons shall include new technical developments that make a change in performance necessary or newly enacted or amended law, whether it be by statute or judicial judgment, that requires a change of the Services. Stylight shall notify the Partner in writing of any changes to the contractually agreed services at least four (4) weeks before they are scheduled to take effect (“Notification of Changes”). In the case of changes which are not exclusively in the Partner’s favor, the Partner may terminate this Agreement in writing, including by electronic means, without observing a period of notice at the time the changes take effect. Changes to the Services shall be deemed to have been approved if the Partner does not object to them by the time they take effect. Stylight shall inform the Partner about this legal consequence in the Notification of Changes.

1.8. THE PRODUCT LISTING PARTNER HEREBY REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS TO STYLIGHT THAT THE PARTNER HAS READ, UNDERSTOOD, AND ACCEPTED THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING THESE TERMS, THE TERMS OF THE PRIVACY POLICY, AND THE TERMS OF THE INSERTION ORDER. IN THE EVENT A PERSON SUBMITS PARTNER DATA ON BEHALF OF A PARTNER THAT IS A COMPANY OR ORGANIZATION (WHICH PERSON SHALL BE IDENTIFIED BY THE EMAIL ADDRESS ASSOCIATED WITH THE ACCOUNT REGISTRATION, OR PARTNER DATA SUBMISSION), SUCH PERSON HEREBY REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT SUCH PERSON HAS THE AUTHORITY TO BIND THE COMPANY OR ORGANIZATION TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT.

2. Terms and conditions regarding the provision of Product Listing Services

2.1. Scope of Product Listing Services

2.1.1. Stylight provides the Product Listing Services to facilitate the integration of Partner Data into the Site database in order to allow Users to access the Partner Data under the market categories agreed to by the Product Listing Partner in the Insertion Order (the “Vertical”). The current Verticals offered by Stylight are “Fashion” (e.g., men and women’s clothes, shoes, accessories), “Home & Living” (e.g., furniture, lamps, living accessories), and “Beauty” (e.g., cosmetics, cosmetic products). Stylight may create other and/or new Verticals at its sole discretion. Where a User clicks on any Partner Data displayed on the Site, such click will result in a transfer of the User to the respective Partner Shop (hereinafter the “Click”).

2.1.2. Stylight may provide marketing services or may commission third parties in order to fulfill the marketing objectives of the Product Listing Partner. These marketing services may be placed on the Site or provided in other online and offline formats. Such formats include editorial magazines and blogs, social media platforms (e.g., Instagram and Facebook), on the websites of cooperation partners and affiliate partners, or by integration in search engines (e.g., Google Shopping) and keyword advertising programs through deep links.

2.1.3. Stylight, in its sole discretion, shall be free to determine the scope, form, and manner in which any Partner Data will be presented on the Site, and is under no obligation to ensure that Partner Data will be presented on the Site in any particular form or manner. The Product Listing Partner hereby acknowledges and agrees that Stylight shall have no liability whatsoever in connection with any Partner Data, including, but not limited to, in the event the presentation of the Partner Data on the Site does not meet the Product Listing Partner’s expectation. Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, Stylight agrees not to change, alter, or create derivative works of Partner Data without the Product Listing Partner’s prior written consent, unless this is necessary for Stylight to provide the Product Listing Services pursuant to this Agreement.

2.1.4. Stylight reserves the right to impose certain restrictions that will be communicated to the Product Listing Partner upon the conclusion of this Agreement, in particular with regard to file formats, file sizes and quality, product categories, product details (including, but not limited to, brand, title, description, prices, deep link, item group ID, color and other technical requirements), and is not obligated to integrate and present Partner Data on the Site if the products or their presentation do not fit into the product portfolio supported by Stylight and/or Stylight’s consumer group.

2.1.5. Stylight is under no obligation to provide an uninterrupted or error-free availability of the Site. However, Stylight endeavors to provide the Product Listing Services with only limited downtimes to generally achieve an overall availability of the Product Listing Services of no less than 99.9% of time per calendar month (the “Uptime Availability”). Any interruptions of the Product Listing Services due to reasons beyond the reasonable control of Stylight (e.g., government intervention, Acts of God or events of force majeure) shall not be considered a downtime that will reduce the overall Uptime Availability of the Product Listing Services. In the event Stylight fails in its reasonable endeavors to provide the Product Listing Services with the intended Uptime Availability during a given calendar month, and where, as a result of such failure, the Product Listing Partner will be under an obligation to pay a Minimum Spend (as defined in Section 2.3.2) for such month (for illustration, when the number of Clicks generated during a particular month does not amount to the agreed thresholds), the Product Listing Partner shall be entitled to reduce the Minimum Spend on a pro-rata basis in relation to the respective deviation from the intended Uptime Availability of the Product Listing Services during such month.

2.1.6. In addition to the Products Listing Services, Stylight may, at its sole discretion, provide the Product Listing Partner with access to the Stylight Tool, as defined and further set out in Sections 2.3.5 to 2.3.7.

2.2. Obligations of the Product Listing Partner

2.2.1. The Product Listing Partner is solely liable for the offer, selling, and processing of orders in relation to users of its Partner Shop. With regard to orders placed on or via the Partner Shop, and any related website, the contractual relationship is exclusively concluded between the user and the Product Listing Partner. Stylight is not, and shall not be deemed, party to any such contractual relationship.

2.2.2. The Product Listing Partner shall provide Stylight with accurate Partner Data relating to all products available on or via its Partner Shop, provided such products can be integrated into the agreed Verticals of the Site. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties may mutually agree that the Product Listing Partner shall only provide an agreed selection of the available Partner Data. Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, Product Listing Partner shall provide the Partner Data to Stylight within five (5) working days after Stylight’s request. In the event the Product Listing Partner updates its Partner Data, the Product Listing Partner shall immediately provide Stylight with such updated Partner Data. For clarification purposes, Stylight assumes no liability for any improper implementation of Partner Data that results from or is related to inaccurate, delayed provided and/or outdated Partner Data.

2.2.3. The Product Listing Partner hereby represents, warrants, and covenants to Stylight that:

2.2.3.1. The Product Listing Partner shall at all times operate its Partner Shop and respective website in accordance with all federal, state, local, and international laws, rules, regulations, ordinances, court orders, and other legal processes applicable to Stylight and its business, including, but not limited to, the Site and Services (the “Applicable Laws”); and

2.2.3.2. the Product Listing Partner shall further ensure that that the Partner Shop and all Partner Data submitted to Stylight do not violate applicable law or any rights of third parties (e.g., personality, privacy or moral rights, rights to names and characters, copyrights and neighboring rights, trademarks, trade secrets, design and patent rights).

2.2.4. The Product Listing Partner represents, warrants, and covenants to Stylight that its Partner Shop and/or Product Data does not contain false, misleading or objectionable content, including, but not limited to, content that is obscene; contains excessive advertisements; is defamatory, libelous, threatening, violent, hate-oriented, or illegal; promotes illegal activities or goods; and does not contain viruses, worms, spyware, malware, Trojan horses, backdoors, or other harmful, malicious or destructive code.

2.2.5. In the event of a suspected or actual violation of Applicable Laws or third-party rights resulting from Stylight’s contractual use of the Partner Data for the purpose of providing the Product Listing Services, the Product Listing Partner must notify Stylight immediately and ensure that the respective Partner Data will no longer be submitted to Stylight. This notification shall not affect any rights or potential claims Stylight may have against the Product Listing Partner as a result of such violation of law or third-party rights arising from Stylight’s contractual use of the Partner Data for the purpose of providing the Product Listing Services. The Product Listing Partner agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Stylight from any costs, claims, or damages (including reasonable costs of legal defense) resulting from any such violation of Applicable Laws or third-party rights.

2.2.6. In the event that Stylight receives knowledge that the Partner Shop, any related website, or the Partner Data violates Applicable Laws or any third-party rights, or in the event there is a reasonable suspicion of such violation, Stylight reserves the right to remove the respective Partner Data from the Site and to block access to it. The Product Listing Partner acknowledges and agrees that the blocking of access may apply to the Product Listing Partner’s entire range of products (as presented on the Site) if the violating Partner Data detail cannot be identified and isolated with absolute certainty. In the event of a reasonable fear of potential harm to Users, Stylight may take such action without prior notification of Partner.

2.2.7. The Product Listing Partner will be afforded by Stylight the opportunity to clarify the facts leading to such action and may demonstrate to Stylight that the Partner Data provided is legally unobjectionable and contractually compliant. As soon as these criteria have been established, Stylight will reverse its action in order to afford full access to the compliant products on the Site whereupon Stylight shall be relieved of any further obligation and liability resulting from, or related to, such action, and Partner is deemed to have fully released Stylight from any conceivable obligation and liability resulting from, or related to, such action.

2.2.8 NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE PRODUCT LISTING PARTNER HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE PRODUCT LISTING PARTNER IS SOLELY LIABLE FOR THE OFFER, SELLING, AND PROCESSING OF ORDERS WITH REGARD TO USERS OF ITS PARTNER SHOP THAT ORIGINATE FROM THE STYLIGHT SITE OR SERVICES. WITH REGARD TO ORDERS PLACED ON OR VIA THE PARTNER SHOP, AND ANY RELATED WEBSITE BY USERS FROM THE STYLIGHT SITE, THE CONTRACTUAL RELATIONSHIP IS EXCLUSIVELY BETWEEN THE USER AND THE PRODUCT LISTING PARTNER, AND STYLIGHT SHALL NOT BE A PARTY TO, OR IN ANY WAY RESPONSIBLE FOR, ANY SUCH CONTRACTUAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PRODUCT LISTING PARTNER AND THE USER.

2.3. Compensation and Billing

2.3.1. The compensation to be paid by the Product Listing Partner for the Product Listing Services is set out in Section I. of the Insertion Order. In addition to compensation for the Services, the Product Listing Partner shall also be responsible for any and all taxes, including, but not limited to, federal, state, and local taxes that are applicable to Stylight (with the exception of those taxes solely pertaining to Stylight’s revenue).

2.3.2. Stylight shall invoice the Product Listing Partner monthly. The Product Listing Services will be invoiced on the basis of the number of actual Clicks generated during the respective invoice period in accordance with the amounts agreed in the Insertion Order for the selected Vertical(s), Site(s) and device categories. Where the parties have agreed on a minimum spending and where the number of Clicks generated does not amount to the agreed thresholds (the “Minimum Spend”), the Product Listing Partner shall pay Stylight at least the agreed Minimum Spend.

2.3.3. The Product Listing Partner need not pay the Minimum Spend where it can prove that the agreed thresholds have not been achieved due to Stylight’s failure or unjustified refusal to appropriately integrate and present the Partner Data into the agreed Verticals of the Site in accordance with this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt: This exception does not affect Stylight’s rights in the event of Product Listing Partner’s failure to comply with the standards stated in Section 2.1.4.

2.3.4. Stylight will issue invoices to Product Listing Partner setting forth the number of Clicks generated during the relevant invoice period. The compensation is due and payable after receipt of the invoice and to be paid within thirty (30) days from receipt of the invoice.

2.3.5. Stylight will ascertain the invoiced number of Clicks for the invoices, in accordance with Sections 2.3.2 to 2.3.4 above, solely by means of its analysis and reporting tool (the “Stylight Tool”), which receives the relevant data from the Site database. Stylight does not take into account the results of other web analysis tools such as Google Analytics or tools from other affiliate networks, such as Rakuten, because the calculation parameters may vary among different tools.

2.3.6. Once the Product Listing Services for the Product Listing Partner are set up and active, the Product Listing Partner shall receive access to the Stylight Tool and may view the number of Clicks established by this tool at any time. Unless Stylight receives an objection from the Product Listing Partner after publication of the relevant numbers by the Stylight Tool, such objection being raised no later than two (2) weeks after receipt of the corresponding invoice, the number of Clicks listed in the Stylight Tool shall be deemed accepted.

2.3.7. If the Product Listing Partner raises a valid objection in accordance with Section 2.3.6 above, Stylight may obtain an expert opinion by an acknowledged and independent expert selected by Stylight. Such opinion will be binding on both parties. Stylight may suspend the provision of the Product Listing Services from the point in time of the objection until its prompt evaluation after the receipt of the expert opinion.

2.3.8. Payments must be made to the following bank account (or to the account details indicated on the invoice):

2.4.3. This license and grant of rights according to Section 2.4.1 authorizes Stylight to exercise the rights by itself or have the rights exercised by third-party contractors acting on behalf of Stylight.

2.4.4. The license and grant of rights under this Section 2.4 does not affect the right of the Product Listing Partner to continue to freely dispose of the Partner Data, provided that the rights granted to Stylight under this Section 2.4 remain unaffected. In particular, the Product Listing Partner remains entitled to grant non-exclusive licenses to the Partner Data to any other business partners.

2.4.5. In case of a violation of (i) any of the terms of this Agreement, including any violation of Partner’s representations, warranties, covenants, or obligations hereunder; (ii) any Applicable Laws; or (iii) any third-party rights resulting from Stylight’s use of the Partner Data provided to Stylight in accordance with this Agreement, the Product Listing Partner shall be fully liable towards Stylight and agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Stylight from and against all claims, liabilities, loses, costs, or damages, including reasonable costs of legal defense, in relation to any such violation of law or third-party rights.

2.5. Term and Termination

2.5.1. Except as otherwise specified in these Terms or as agreed to by the parties in the Insertion Order, this Agreement shall run for an indefinite term and continue until terminated by either party giving four (4) weeks prior written notice, by electronic or other means, to terminate to the other party. The notice period shall commence on the date of receipt of such written notice.

Ranking criteria may include the amount of compensation paid by the Product Listing Partners, the popularity of the product among users, quality and completeness of the product information provided by the Product Listing Partner, anticipated click-out generated sales, and budget goals.

2.6.1.1. The weighing of these criteria is carried out in the order in which they are listed above in Section 2.6.1, whereby the criteria for compensation paid by the Product Listing Partner and popularity of the product with Users are of particular importance for the placement of the Partner Data in the ranking.

The Agency is responsible for the contractual relationship with the advertiser, especially regarding pricing, invoicing and other conditions.

Should the Agency act as representative for the advertiser, the Agency must inform Stylight of the representation in writing when it places advertising objects, by naming the advertising Ad Services Partner.

The claim for reduction expires if it is not claimed within three (3) months after the end of the one year period.

3.3. Delivery and storage of advertising media

3.4.2. Furthermore, Stylight may recall already published Advertising Media for the reasons stated above or if Ad Services Partner changes content or data of the Advertising Media retroactively.

3.4.3. Stylight will promptly alert the Ad Services Partner to a rejection, block or recall of the Advertising Media.

3.5.4. Should Partner gather anonymous or pseudonymised data and thus data leading to persons when his Advertising Media delivered to Stylight for online offers are used, Partner may evaluate these data within the framework of each campaign for the concrete advertiser who has been administered with the placement of the relevant campaign, provided that such evaluation is conducted at all times in accordance with all Applicable Laws. This evaluation may only be made with the anonymized and pseudonymised data which have been gathered by advertising placement on the online offers of Stylight.

3.5.5. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Partner hereby represents warrants and covenants that Partner shall not process, use or distribute personal data and data leading to persons gathered from access to online offers which contain the Advertising Media provided by Partner to Stylight. Moreover, Partner hereby agrees not store, exploit or use in any other way data from advertising in online offers of Stylight, or share them with third parties. This prohibition also includes the creation of profiles of the usage behavior of users on the online offers of Stylight and their consequent usage.

3.5.6. If Partner uses a system of a third party for the placement of Advertising Media in the online offers of Stylight, Partner hereby agrees to ensure that the third party system operator will comply with the terms of this Agreement and Partner hereby agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend Stylight from any and all claims, losses, costs and/or damages (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys fees and costs of legal defense) which may arise as the result of any breach or alleged breach of this Agreement by any third parties acting on behalf of Partner.

3.5.9. The grant of rights under Section 3.5.2 does not affect the right of Ad Services Partner to continue to freely dispose of the Advertising Media, provided that the rights granted to Stylight under Section 3.5.2 remain in effect. In particular, the Ad Services Partner remains entitled to grant non-exclusive rights to the Advertising Media to any of its other business partners.

3.6. Warranty of Stylight

3.6.1. Subject to Stylight’s disclaimer of warranties in Section 4.1 and the terms of this Agreement, Stylight warrants, within the framework of the intended requirements, to use its reasonable efforts to deliver a rendition of the Advertising Media, as best as possible, which is reasonably comparable to the applicable then-current technical standard. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Ad Services Partner acknowledges that, due to current technical standards, it is not reasonably possible to create a faultless, error-free program for any and all technical platforms and standards.

If the failure of the AdServer lasts for an extended period of time, and if the booking is time-sensitive, the following will be the Ad Service’s sole and exclusive remedy in connection with the terms of this Agreement: the Ad Services Partner’s payment obligation for then-accruing compensation shall be suspended for the duration of the failure.
