5. Payments
Subject to this Section 5 and Section 10 of these Relābe Terms, you will receive a payment related to the number of valid clicks on Ads displayed on your Properties, the number of valid impressions of Ads displayed on your Properties, or other valid events performed in connection with the display of Ads on your Properties, in each case as determined by Relābe. The minimum payment amount for ad income is $100. Withdrawals to a 3rd party account require a minimum of $100. This amount may be amended by Relabe from time to time without previous notice to the User.
Except in the event of termination, we will pay you within 60 days following any calendar month in which the earned balance in your Account equals or exceeds the applicable payment threshold.
Where amounts owed to you by a demand or buyer partner (including Google) are settled through Relābe, you appoint Relābe as your agent for the limited purpose of collecting those amounts on your behalf, and Relābe accepts that appointment. Such amounts remain your property; Relābe receives them solely as your agent, for your convenience, and a demand or buyer partner's payment to Relābe of amounts owed to you constitutes payment to you.
Unless expressly authorized in writing by Relābe, you may not enter into any type of arrangement with a third party where that third party receives payments made to you under the Agreement or other financial benefit in relation to the Services.
Payments will be calculated solely based on our accounting. Payments to you may be withheld to reflect or adjusted to exclude any amounts refunded or credited to advertisers and any amounts arising from invalid activity, as determined by Relābe and its buyer partners at its sole discretion. Invalid activity is determined by Relābe or its buyer partners in all cases and includes, but is not limited to, (i) spam, invalid queries, invalid impressions or invalid clicks on Ads generated by any person, bot, automated program or similar device, including through any clicks or impressions originating from your IP addresses or computers under your control; (ii) clicks solicited or impressions generated by payment of money, false representation, or requests for end users to click on Ads or take other actions; (iii) Ads served to end users whose browsers have JavaScript disabled; and (iv) clicks or impressions co-mingled with a significant amount of the activity described in (i, ii, and iii) above.
In addition to our other rights and remedies, we may (a) withhold and offset any payments owed to you under the Agreement against any fees you owe us under the Agreement or any other agreement, or (b) require you to refund us within 30 days of any invoice, any amounts we may have overpaid to you in prior periods. If you dispute any payment made or withheld relating to the Services, you must notify Relābe in writing within 30 days of any such payment. If you do not, any claim relating to the disputed payment is waived. Relābe will settle all technology fees and/or licenses required and related to ad serving on the publisher’s behalf. If an advertiser whose Ads are displayed on any Property defaults on payment to Relābe, we may withhold payment or charge back your account. To ensure proper payment, you are responsible for providing and maintaining accurate contact and payment information in your Account. You are responsible for any charges assessed by your bank or payment provider.
6. Taxes
As between you and Relābe, Relābe is responsible for all taxes (if any) associated with the transactions between Relābe and advertisers in connection with Ads displayed on the Properties. You are responsible for all taxes (if any) associated with the Services, other than taxes based on Relābe's net income. All payments to you from Relābe in relation to the Services will be treated as inclusive of tax (if applicable) and will not be adjusted.

Seller General Data Protection Responsibilities
Relābe is a controller for Seller's personal data and does process visitor personal data. By applying for a Seller account you are consenting to use your personal data for the purposes provided under our Privacy Policy.
For Relābe product used on any site under your control, the following duties apply for end users in the European Economic Area:
By applying for a Seller’s account, you are consenting to use your User Personal Information for the purposes provided under our Privacy Policy. If you are a European resident, you have the right to access personal information we hold about you and to ask your personal information be corrected, updated or deleted. If you would like to exercise this right, please contact us through the contact information provided at the Privacy Policy disclosure. Additionally, if you are a European resident, note that we are processing your information in order to fulfill contracts we might have with you (for example if you make an order through the Site), or otherwise to pursue our legitimate business interests.
Relābe will limit the processing of the data, collect only the data which is necessary, and not keep personal data once the processing purpose is completed. This would effectively comply with the following requirements of the GDPR: 1) forbid processing of personal data outside the legitimate purpose for which the personal data was collected, 2) mandate that no personal data, other than what is necessary, be requested and 3) ask that personal data should be deleted once the legitimate purpose for which it was collected is fulfilled.
Relābe will obtain end users’ legally valid consent to the use of cookies or other local storage where legally required; and the collection, sharing, and use of personal data for personalization of ads or other services. Relābe will retain records of consent given by end users; and provide end users with clear instructions for revocation of consent. Relābe will also identify each party that may collect, receive, or use end users’ personal data because of the use of a Relābe product, and will provide end users with prominent and easily accessible information about that party’s use of end users’ personal data.
9. Confidentiality
You agree not to disclose Relābe Confidential Information without our prior written consent. "Relābe Confidential Information" includes: (a) all Relābe software, technology and documentation relating to the Services; (b) click-through rates or other statistics relating to Property performance as pertaining to the Services; (c) the existence of, and information about, beta features in a Service; and (d) any other information made available by Relābe that is marked confidential or would normally be considered confidential under the circumstances in which it is presented. Relābe Confidential Information does not include information that you already knew prior to your use of the Services, that becomes public through no fault of yours, that was independently developed by you, or that was lawfully given to you by a third party. Notwithstanding this Section 9, you may accurately disclose the amount of Relābe's gross payments resulting from your use of the Services.
10. Termination

Relabe’s account cancellation process requires that User notify Relabe in written of their intention to cancel the Relabe account. The Agreement will be considered terminated within 10 business days of Relābe's receipt of your notice. If you terminate the Agreement and your earned balance equals or exceeds the applicable threshold, we will pay you your earned balance within approximately 60 days after the end of the calendar month in which the Agreement is terminated. Any earned balance below the applicable threshold will remain unpaid.
Relābe may at any time terminate the Agreement or suspend or terminate the participation of any Property in the Services for any reason. If Relābe or one of its buyers determines that significant invalid activity was performed on your account, Relābe may terminate the Agreement immediately or at Relābe’s own discretion, provide you with a period of time not no extend more than 90 days from the invalid activity determination, for you to suspend, discontinue, correct or eliminate the invalid activity. If we terminate the Agreement due to your breach or due to invalid activity, we may withhold unpaid amounts or charge back your account. If the account is terminated due to your breach or due to invalid activity, advertisers will not be billed for the last pay period or for the last 60 days, whichever is greater.
