5.16. With regard to providing Portal space and publishing a Paid Article, the Service Provider shall use the automated functions of the Website to request that the Publisher mark in the system that the Portal space has been provided and the pertinent content has been published. “Marking”, as mentioned above, shall mean that the Publisher inserts the Internet address of the provided Portal space. Such marking results in an automatic notification – an e-mail shall be sent to the Advertiser, informing that the Paid Article has been published.

Section 5.21 shall apply accordingly, subject to the reservation that providing Portal space and retaining the publication for a period longer than stipulated shall not be regarded as a breach of the agreement. Any representation or statement made by the Publisher as regards retaining the publication for a period longer than 1 (one) year shall be treated as non-binding and as such shall not constitute the basis for any claims addressed to the Service Provider.

5.22. The period of providing Portal space and publishing the Paid Article may be reduced, without giving rise to any claims towards the Service Provider or the Publisher, including the reimbursement of the fee or compensation, in the following situations:

5.22.1. when the Publisher suspends or phases out the Portal;

5.22.2. when the publication was deleted, because it constituted a breach of legal provisions or there was reasonable suspicion that it is a breach of law;

5.25. If the Publisher receives the manual filter titled “Unnatural links from your site” or similar (from Google) regarding the portal where the Article is published, the Publisher may switch the attribute of the links in the article to nofollow.

5.26. If, pursuant to the Regulations, there are grounds for the reimbursement of the fee (whole or partial) to the Advertiser, and the Service Provider does not manage to obtain an adequate reimbursement of the fee paid to the Publisher within 10 working days of the date when the grounds for the reimbursement (whole or partial – depending on the situation) occurred, then the Service Provider shall withhold the reimbursement of the relevant portion of the fee to the Advertiser and the Advertiser shall have the right to claim the reimbursement of the cost related to providing Portal space and publishing the article, but only directly from the Publisher, in the portion that constituted the Publisher’s remuneration.
