PAYMENT TERMS FOR BRANDS72.

Social Plug reserves the right to charge a credit card surcharge.76. If you do not use your entire Campaign Budget on a Campaign (whether due to early Campaign cancellation, change of Campaign scope, or under-spend), you will still be liable to pay the full monthly subscription fee.77. Upon receiving details of your Campaign (including your Campaign Budget), Social Plug may carry out a standard pre-authorisation check of your nominated card or account (as applicable) to verify the details provided and to ensure there are sufficient funds to fulfil the Campaign Budget. Social Plug may elect not to share the relevant Campaign with Creators via the Application until this pre-authorisation check has been completed to Social Plug's satisfaction.78.

Where a Brand or Media Agency is approved to pay by Invoice, the Brand or Media Agency must provide Social Plug with a purchase order or insertion order (or similar) approving the total fees and charges to be included on the Invoice and including a purchase order or insertion order number. Social Plug may, in its sole discretion, accept written confirmation (including via email) approving an invoice in lieu of a purchase order or insertion order being provided.81. Where Social Plug approves a Brand or Media Agency to pay by Invoice, the Brand or Media Agency irrevocably authorises Social Plug, its employees, servants and agents to make such enquiries as Social Plug deems necessary to investigate the Brand or Media Agency’s credit worthiness, including, without limitation, making inquiries from referees, banks or any other credit providers, and the Brand or Media Agency hereby authorises such persons to disclose to Social Plug, its employees, servants and agents, all information requested by Social Plug for the purpose of assessing your credit worthiness. Any terms of credit offered by Social Plug, including where Social Plug approves payment by Invoice, may be varied by Social Plug in its sole discretion and advised to you in writing.82. In the event that a Brand or Media Agency requests an Invoice and Social Plug approves the Brand or Media Agency to pay by Invoice, a minimum Invoice amount of £100 (excluding VAT in UK) will apply, unless otherwise approved in writing by Social Plug. If a Brand or Media Agency is not domiciled in Australia, the UK, or U.S., then Invoices will not include GST, VAT or Sales Tax (but may include other applicable tax where relevant).83. You must pay the amount of any Invoice you have requested in accordance with the payment terms specified in it or as agreed with Social Plug in writing. Where no such terms of payment are specified or agreed, Social Plugs standard payment terms apply, being 14 days from the date of the Invoice. Charges paid to Social Plug pursuant to an Invoice will be allocated to the relevant Campaign as credit for use in that Campaign (“Credit”).84. When you approve a Post or Paid Content, you undertake that:(a) where you have paid an Invoice and there is sufficient Credit to cover the applicable charges (which include the applicable Brand Fee or Rights Fee and any additional amount), you have sufficient authority to authorise Social Plug to apply that Credit to the applicable charge; or(b) where paragraph (a) does not apply, you are an authorised user of the card or account (as applicable) nominated on your Brand Account, you are authorised to pay the applicable charges (which include the applicable Brand Fee or Rights Fee and any additional amount payable, the card details provided are current, correct and complete, and your nominated card or account (as applicable) will cover the full amount of the charges.

This amount represents a genuine and reasonable estimate of such costs and expenses associated with managing and processing late payments. Social Plug also reserves the right to withdraw credit facilities (where applicable) at any time or to remove your access to the Social Plug Platform.
