1. In Germany Creators can only use the platform if they have registered a company (“Gewerbe”) and they can issue invoices

6. The Customer can share the Posts only in the agreed media (“organic reposting”)
7. Boksi can also use the Creator’s profile and statistics in its Platform demonstration materials and as part of their marketing purposes (in such a way that the content does not play a significant role in the marketing).

    • • in any channels or media, such as social media sites, websites or any other electronic or written publications.

    2. as a search engine (where the Creator uses the Platform to search for Customers and contacts them outside the Platform), or
    3. in any other way, the aim of which is to avoid Boksi’s fees.
       
       If the Creator breaches the Terms set out in the mentioned Section, Boksi has the right to terminate the Terms with immediate effect and without separate notice, regardless of any ongoing Campaigns.
       
       In this case Boksi is not obligated to pay the Creator for any ongoing or unfinished campaigns.
       
       
15. In the event of a service interruption or any inability for Boksi and/or the Customer to access necessary Campaign analytics from the Platform, the Creator must separately provide the analytics.
