TRANSLATION: General Terms & Conditions of ProSiebenSat.1 PULS 4–Group (version 05.02.2020)
§ 1 Object of Contract – Placing of Order
(1) ProSiebenSat.1 PULS 4 GmbH – hereinafter referred to as "ProSiebenSat.1 PULS 4" for short – exclusively markets in its own name and for the account of the respective TV stations the Austrian advertising blocks of ProSieben Austria, ProSieben MAXX Austria, Sat.1 Österreich, Sat.1 GOLD Österreich, kabel eins austria, kabel eins Doku austria, sixx Austria and PULS 4, PULS 24, ATV, ATV II, Café Puls – hereinafter referred to as "Stations" for short.
(2) These General Terms & Conditions (GT&C) shall apply to all and any contracts concluded between ProSiebenSat.1 PULS 4 and advertisers or agencies (both also referred to as "Customer") regarding the distribution by broadcast of commercials (advertising spots) in the Austrian advertising blocks of the Stations, unless stipulated otherwise in the respective contracts. In the event of advertising/media agencies acting as Customer, the contractual relationship comes about exclusively with the agency: and such agency shall be the sole contracting partner of ProSiebenSat.1 PLUS 4 and it shall be liable for the fulfilment of all and any obligations arising from the contract. Orders from agencies shall only be accepted in respect of advertisers whose names are exactly stated in detail, provided that also the content of the advertising spots is described in detail.
(3) If the agency is the contracting partner, such agency, effective as of the conclusion of the contract, hereby assigns to ProSiebenSat.1 PULS 4 its claims for payment against its customer arising from the underlying advertising contract. ProSiebenSat.1 PULS 4 hereby accepts the assignment [collateral assignment] and is entitled to disclose such assignment to the customer of the agency, if the claim is not paid within one month from the due date.
(4) GT&C of Customer diverging from the provisions of these General Terms & Conditions hereby are expressly objected to. Customer hereby submits to these GT&C, also in the event of his own GT&C stipulating exclusive application. ProSiebenSat.1 PULS 4 shall be entitled at any time to change the present GT&C. Changes of these GT&C shall be published on the website “www.prosiebensat1puls4.com” and shall become effective two weeks after first accessibility.
(5) The respective program structures/schemes, price groups, and price lists of the Stations referred to in these GT&C shall apply as an integral part of these GT&C in the version as amended from time to time. Customer by executing the contract confirms that these documents were given to him before the execution of the contract and that his order is based upon these documents.
(6) The conclusion of a contract presupposes written broadcast instructions by the Customer. The contract is concluded by a written or electronic confirmation (telefax, email) by ProSiebenSat.1 PULS 4 or the broadcast of the commercial by the Stations, whatever occurs earlier in time. Only the content of the contract as reflected in the order confirmation of ProSiebenSat.1 PUL 4 shall apply, unless Customer within 24 hours from receipt of the order confirmation objects in writing to same. Order confirmation by way of oral communications or by telephone shall not constitute an effective substitution of a confirmation in writing.
(7) Customer may book with the Stations marketed by ProSiebenSat.1 PULS 4 advertising spots of any length as desired by the Customer. All and any offers by ProSiebenSat.1 PULS 4 are subject to the reservation of availability of the advertising time slots. The broadcast price depends upon the price list and increases linearly on the basis of seconds.
(8) If special forms of advertising (Special Ads) are the subject of the contract, special provisions shall be attached to the order confirmation, which also form part of the contract.
§ 2 Processing of Orders
(1) ProSiebenSat.1 PULS 4 shall distribute by broadcast booked advertising spots to the extent possible in accordance with the placement wishes of Customer. There is no entitlement to the placing of an advertising spot in a specific advertising block or in a specific position of such advertising block. ProSiebenSat.1 PULS 4 does not warrant that in addition to the advertising blocks reflected in the program scheme no other advertising blocks are offered and broadcast.
(2) A general exclusion of competition cannot be agreed to, including competition within advertising blocks.
(3) In principle it is possible to reserve advertising time slots. Such reservations shall, however, lose their validity if the Customer does not, within seven working days, place a written order with the ProSiebenSat.1 PULS 4 Group in regard of the advertising spots desired to be broadcast at the reserved broadcast time slots.
(4) Customer shall be entitled to reschedule agreed advertising bookings. This shall apply both to a change in the booked price group, length of spot as well as the broadcast time. It shall be a precondition that the rescheduling request is communicated in writing to ProSiebenSat.1 PULS 4 not later than 14 working days before the agreed time of broadcast and that the volume of booking remains unchanged. The rescheduling shall only become effective, if ProSiebenSat.1
PULS 4, in accordance with free capacities, confirms in writing the requested new broadcast time and advertising spots.
(5) ProSiebenSat.1 PULS 4 shall not be obligated to view an advertising spot before acceptance of the order and to verify its admissibility before confirmation. Therefore, ProSiebenSat.1 PULS 4 reserves the right to reject placed and confirmed broadcast orders on the grounds of legality, morality or impairment of the reputation of ProSiebenSat.1 PULS 4 or of the marketed Stations. There will be a rejection in any event, if the advertising spot is in violation of mandatory legal provisions. Customer shall be informed of a rejection by ProSiebenSat.1 PULS 4 without delay. Customer shall have the opportunity to make available for broadcasting without delay a new or modified advertising spot to which the ground of rejection does not apply. If such substitution of the advertising spot is made available too late for the agreed time of broadcast, Customer shall nevertheless be obligated to pay the agreed remuneration.
If the rejection is based upon grounds regarding the reputation of ProSiebenSat.1 PULS 4 and/or of the Stations marketed or, if the rejection is based upon grounds regarding the person of Customer or advertising client, justifying a withdrawal from the contract, the obligation to pay the agreed remuneration shall lapse. All and any claims (including claims for damages) by Customer going beyond the foregoing are hereby expressly excluded. ProSiebenSat.1 PULS 4 hereby reserves the right not to broadcast advertising (including the immediate stopping of a running advertising campaign) objected to by the Austrian Advertising Council (Österreichischer Werberat). It may on this ground both refuse to accept an advertising order and to rescind orders accepted in legally binding form.
In addition, ProSiebenSat.1 PULS 4 reserves the right to refuse multiple placements as well as adverting spots referring to each other within one and the same or within more than one advertising block.
§ 3 Broadcast Material
(1) Unless a different implementation is agreed to in a particular case, Customer hereby undertakes to make the necessary material (motive plans and broadcasting copies) available to ProSiebenSat.1 PULS 4 at least 14 working days before the agreed broadcast time. The quality of the broadcast copies in respect of technology and content shall be the sole responsibility of Customer. The broadcast copies have to be uploaded via the ProSiebenSat.1 PULS 4 Uploader tohttps://uploader.sevenonemedia.de/upsom/de/.

(4) If the delivery of broadcast documents and material is in delay or subsequently altered, ProSiebenSat.1 PULS 4 cannot warrant orderly distribution by broadcast. If advertising spots are broadcast not at all or wrongly due to the broadcast material not having been delivered in time, or having been labelled incorrectly, insufficiently or defectively, ProSiebenSat.1 PULS 4 may invoicel Customer the remuneration due for the broadcast time as well as for additional costs incurred by ProSiebenSat.1 PULS 4 and/or the Stations.
§ 4 Time of Broadcast
Affirmations made by ProSiebenSat.1 PLUS 4 in respect of the broadcast of advertising spots at specific times are always subject to last minute program changes. If the times of broadcast cannot be complied with for such a reason or on account of force majeure or of circumstances for which neither ProSiebenSat.1
PULS 4 or a Station are responsible, the broadcast of such advertising spot may be effected on the basis of other conditions (other times, etc.), subject to Customer´s consent. Such a consent shall always be deemed to have been given in the event of minor rescheduling, namely a rescheduling of less than 15 minutes before or after the originally envisaged time without a significant change to the detriment of Customer of the editorial environment and the booked price group.
