5. Professional shall comply with all the Agreements such as Terms and Conditions, Privacy Policies, Safety Policies and Other Policies applicable to the Shopperz Pride Site, which are hereby incorporated by reference. In the event any specific rules in these Terms conflict with the general rules for advertising on the Shopperz Pride Site, the specific rules in these Terms will apply. Professional may not advertise services that compete with the services of Shopperz Pride and it is not permissible to place multiple Listings within the same site for one product or service. Professional acknowledges that Professional’s failure to comply with the foregoing, or to pay us in accordance with these Terms, may result in the suspension of Professional’s user account(s). Without limitation to the foregoing, Professional acknowledges that we reserve the unrestricted right to: (i) not display (or remove) any of the Professional Content we receive where such Professional Content contains a technical malfunction or for any other reason as determined by us; and (ii) cancel, suspend or discontinue display of any Listings which violate the Terms and Conditions, Privacy Policy, Safety Policies or Other site Policies applicable to the Shopperz Pride Site.
6. We make no guarantees with respect to the frequency or position of the Listings, the placement of the Listings and/or the moment of placement of the Listings. For greater certainty, we specifically disclaim any warranty regarding the quantity, frequency, rank, location, placement and prominence of Professional Content anywhere on the Shopperz Pride Site. The position of the Listings in the Prescribed Category is determined by our algorithm, in which several factors are taken into account; this includes, but is not limited to (i) the quality and relevancy of the Professional Content, and (ii) the number and quality of the other classifieds listings in the same category. We are entitled to change the foregoing algorithm, the factors used therein and the weighting of those factors at any time. We are not obliged to disclose the algorithm and the weighting factors to Professional. Professional expressly acknowledges and agrees that depending on all of the relevant circumstances, including but not limited to Shopperz Pride browse and search activity specific to your Listing category and region, it may occur that the Listings will be displayed less often than expected by Professional, or not at all.
7. Fees, sales Commissions and Taxes
   Fees and sales commissions (“Fees”) shall be made payable to Shopperz Pride and deducted at payout for every product sold on the SHOPPERZ AdConnect. The sales commissions to be charged shall be determined depending on the categorization of the product or service and their plan. In this regard, Shopperz Pride shall receive from customers payments on behalf of the Professional, followed by payout on completion of the service. All fees and charges shall be deducted at payout, with the exception of sales taxes which shall be kept by the Professional to be remitted to the appropriate tax authority.
8. Shopperz Pride may provide reports to Professional with regard to the Listings, and thereby provide suggestions for improvement of the Professional Content. Shopperz Pride makes no representations, warranties or guarantees regarding any such reports or suggestions made for improvement. At the request of Shopperz Pride or on its own initiative, Professional may provide reports with regard to the conversions of the Listings. Shopperz Pride may provide a non-binding indication of the expected results per day. Such an indication will be automatically generated based on past results and is provided for informational purposes only.
9. Professional hereby represents, warrants and covenants throughout the duration of its use of AdConnect that: (i) it has all necessary corporate power, authority and capacity to execute, deliver and perform its obligations, and its performance hereunder will not violate terms of any other agreement that it has with a third party; (ii) it will comply with any laws, regulations and ordinances applicable to it; (iii) it has secured all rights necessary to cause the transfer of the Professional Content, and to cause related Listings to be listed on the Shopperz Pride Site; (iv) no intellectual property rights belonging to a third party will be infringed by the exercise of our rights hereunder in relation to using the Professional Content; and (v) the Professional Content shall be free from any spyware, malware, virus, worm, Trojan horse, or other malicious or harmful code, or any software application not expressly and knowingly authorized by users prior to being downloaded or installed on their computer or other electronic device. Professional will indemnify and hold harmless Shopperz Pride, its affiliates and their respective officers, directors and employees against any and all claims, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses, which any of them may incur as a result of any third-party claims or actions arising from or relating to the Professional Content or breach by Professional of any of the foregoing.
10. We may terminate Professional’s AdConnect account and this agreement at any time for any reason, by providing at least seven (7) days’ advance notice to Professional. Professional may pause or delete any or all of its Listings at any time. When Professional wishes to pause or delete a Listing, it will be able to do so in AdConnect. In addition, we may immediately suspend or terminate Professional’s AdConnect account if (i) Professional commits any act or does anything that is or shall be an offense which brings Shopperz Pride into public disrepute, contempt, scandal, or ridicule, or which might reasonably tend to damage the reputation of Shopperz Pride; (ii) we eliminate or suspend the AdConnect product for any reason. No termination shall affect the rights or obligations of either party with respect to provisions hereof that, by their sense and context, are intended to survive such termination.
11. Except as otherwise set forth in these Terms, each party will bear its own costs and expenses related to AdConnect.
12. Professional acknowledges that AdConnect and the Shopperz Pride Site are provided “As Is”, and we do not represent or warrant that any of the foregoing will operate securely or without interruption or error.
13. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW: (A) IN NO EVENT SHALL SHOPPERZ PRIDE OR ITS AFFILIATES BE LIABLE TO PROFESSIONAL OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR ANY LOST REVENUE, LOST PROFITS, LOST DATA OR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER OR NOT SHOPPERZ PRIDE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND (B) SHOPPERZ PRIDE AND ITS AFFILIATES’ AGGREGATE LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO AMOUNTS PAID BY PROFESSIONAL HEREUNDER IN THE THREE MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM. THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS SHALL APPLY TO ALL CLAIMS AND CAUSES OF ACTION IN THE AGGREGATE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, BREACH OF CONTRACT, BREACH OF WARRANTY, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, MISREPRESENTATION, AND OTHER TORTS OR STATUTORY CAUSES OF ACTION.
14. Professional’s acceptance of these Terms has not been induced by, nor do any of the parties rely upon or regard as material, any representations or writings whatsoever not expressly incorporated herein.
15. We may, at any time and at our option, assign or transfer this agreement to any of our affiliates, or sub-contract to an affiliate any or all of its obligations hereunder, without prior consent from Professional.
16. We may update this agreement at any time, with updates taking effect when you next use AdConnect or after 30 days, whichever is sooner. No other amendment to this agreement will be effective unless made in writing, signed by Professional and us.
17. These Terms shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with laws of the Republic of Ghana and applicable therein. Each of the parties hereby irrevocably attorns to the jurisdiction of the courts of the Republic of Ghana and Canada with respect to any matters arising out of AdConnect.
