9. SPECIFIC GUIDELINES
Ploonk.fr uses a 'basket freeze'. The source that ensures that (1) a consumer ends up on the webshop of www.Ploonk.fr and (2) of which the same consumer also adds a product to the shopping cart in that session, is considered the directly responsible source for the generation of the transaction.
The moment a product is added to the cart, this resource is temporarily pinned. If, after filling the shopping cart, a consumer searches for a discount and comes back to the Ploonk.fr webshop via a third source, the first source remains responsible for generating the transaction. As soon as this 'directly responsible source' concerns a publisher and the consumer completes the order, the compensation is definitively allocated to this publisher on the thank you page.
10. OTHER
The right remains to exclude publishers without giving any reason and/or reject sales if:
there is uncertainty about the source of the traffic;
sales are realized for which no publisher ID and/or transaction ID is known;
the stated conditions are not complied with.
Publishers are solely responsible for keeping the promotional material on their media up-to-date. Any discontinued promotions must be removed by the publisher or replaced with newly available material.
