(b) Add-On(s): specific Service(s), Deliverable(s) and/or feature(s) which may be purchased by the Client on the Platform as a one-time purchase(s) without changing the Client’s current Package. Descriptions of the available Add-Ons are provided on the Platform and may be updated from time to time.

The Deliverables which the Client can request from Hey Digital as part of the Services are described in the Package or the Add-On purchased by the Client. Deliverables can be, among other things, the following:

Landing Page Design requires a copy (drafted by Hey Digital or the Client, as agreed between the Parties). For avoidance of doubt, the Deliverable referred to as a “Landing Page Design” (or “Landing Page” or similar) under the Services consists solely of the website’s design file and Hey Digital does not build, operate, or host landing page as a website as part of the Services.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Hey Digital reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to reject the Client.

2.2 Representations and warranties. By entering into the Agreement, the Client expressly represents and warrants that the Client:
(a) has carefully read, fully understood and agrees to these Terms of Service;
(b) all information that it submits to Hey Digital, including in the course of registration and on-boarding is true, accurate and up-to-date;
(c) is acting in its independent economic or professional activities and is thereby not considered as a consumer under applicable law;
(d) has not been previously prohibited from accessing or using the Platform; and
(e) is legally competent and has the right to enter into the Agreement.
2.3 Account(s). Once the Agreement is entered into, an Account is created for the Client on the Platform. Subject to the Platform’s restrictions and guidelines, the Client may create additional Accounts. For the avoidance of doubt, the existence of multiple Accounts under the same Client does not grant the Client any additional rights, nor does it increase the scope of Services provided (including the number of active Requests allowed).
2.4 Onboarding. Before receiving any Services or submitting any Requests, the Client must complete and submit the onboarding form to Hey Digital, along with any required design files and brand information, in accordance with the instructions provided on the Platform.
PROVISION OF SERVICES
3.1 Starting and end date. Hey Digital shall provide Services to the Client during the Subscription Period.
3.2 Scope. The Services which are provided, and the exact terms depend on the Package which the Client has purchased. The Client may also purchase Add-Ons while staying on its current Package.
3.3 Subscription. The Services are provided on a subscription basis in accordance with the Requests submitted by the Client. This means that in order to receive the Services, the Client must create a Request via the Platform and send it to Hey Digital using the instructions provided on the Platform. While the Client may submit an unlimited number of Requests, each Request must meet the requirements outlined in the Agreement and on the Platform. Additionally, there are limitations on the number of active Requests at any given time, as further detailed in section 3.4(c) of these Terms of Service. The Client acknowledges that a failure to submit any Requests during a Subscription Period does not entitle the Client to a refund of any Fees paid or payable, nor will any unused Services roll over to subsequent Subscription Periods.
3.4 Conditions for Request. Among other requirements as stipulated in the Agreement, the following conditions apply to Request(s):
(a) General conditions for Request. Per Request, the Client may request the creation of one Deliverable that includes: (i) single design theme; (ii) several copy variants (if the respective Deliverable requires a copy) once the initial design theme and copy variant are approved by the Client; (iii) with several size variants once the initial size has been approved by the Client; and (iv) in different file formats, as made possible by Hey Digital at its discretion (e.g., Static Ad in PNG and JPEG formats). Any inquiries exceeding these conditions will be considered additional, separate Requests.
(b) Content requirements for Request. The content of the Request must meet the terms of the Package chosen by the Client, for example, the Client cannot request creation of a Deliverable which is not included in its Package. When creating the Request, the Client must follow all the instructions given on the Platform or by Hey Digital otherwise. The Request must include all the required instructions, information and materials as required by the Platform or Hey Digital otherwise. The Client shall provide all such input at no charge to Hey Digital and ensure that they are accurate, well-organized and complete to be effectively used by Hey Digital to provide the Services.
(c) Limited number of Request(s) at once. Depending on the Package purchased by the Client, the number of Requests that can be active at a time are limited. If only one Request may be active at a time per Client, then this means that once the Client has submitted a Request that is being processed by Hey Digital, no additional Requests will be processed by Hey Digital until that Request is solved. If two (or more) Requests can be active at a time per Client, as specified by the respective Package, then this means that the respective number of Requests can be processed together by Hey Digital, but no additional Request exceeding the limit will be processed by Hey Digital until at least one other active Requests is solved. The Request shall be deemed to be started once the Client has sent the Request to Hey Digital via Platform and solved once the Client has approved the Deliverable which was the subject of the Request or if the Client renounces from the Request.
3.5 Delivery. Upon receipt of a Request which complies with the terms of the Agreement and subject to the terms of the Agreement (including conditions in section 3.10 of these Terms of Service), Hey Digital will process the Request and deliver the requested Deliverable within a reasonable timeframe, taking into account the complexity of the Request and Hey Digital’s workload. The Parties understand and agree that processing the Request and providing the Deliverable may take longer, and while Hey Digital does not make any warranties, assume any binding obligations or liability regarding the following timeframes, the typical timeframes can be as set forth below:
(a) Static Ad, Carousel Ad, Display Ad: the first draft is sent to the Client within 48 hours from receiving the Request.
(b) Short Video, Video: the storyboard is sent to the Client within 48 hours of receiving the Request. Upon the Client's approval of the storyboard, the produced Short Video or Video is delivered to the Client within 48 hours.
(c) Landing Page Design: if Client provides its own copy (written content which will be used for the Landing Page Design), then the first design draft of the Landing Page Design is sent to the Client within 48 hours from receiving the copy; if the Client does not provide its own copy, then the first design draft of the Landing Page Design (together with copy) is sent within 72 hours from receiving the Request.
3.6 Approval and request for changes. Once the Client is delivered the Deliverable, then the Client can via the Platform either:
(a) approve the Deliverable in which case the Deliverable is considered as final and delivered and the Client can export the Deliverable from an online server as instructed by Hey Digital; or
(b) request changes to be made to the Deliverable within the same Request. The request(s) for changes must be presented by the Client to Hey Digital: (i) all at once; (ii) in writing via the Platform; and (iii) with a specific suggestion what needs changing.
3.7 Delivery of changed Deliverable. Once Hey Digital has received the request for changes pursuant to section 3.6(b) of these Terms of Service, Hey Digital shall start work with the requested change(s) within the same Request and shall take the Client’s wishes into account as much as reasonably possible. Once the changes have been implemented, Hey Digital shall deliver the changed Deliverable to the Client. After that, the Client can either approve the Deliverable (as specified in section 3.6(a) of these Terms of Service) or request more changes (as specified in section 3.6(b) of these Terms of Service). Typically, making changes takes around 48 hours, subject to the conditions provided in section 3.10 of these Terms of Service, but may in some cases also take longer time, taking into account the complexity of the changes and Hey Digital’s workload.
3.8 Differences for Video and Short Video. The approval and revision process for the Video and Short Video follows the same procedure as for any other Deliverable (as outlined in sections 3.5-3.7 of these Terms of Service), with the exception that it occurs in two stages. First, Hey Digital delivers the storyboard as a Deliverable, which the Client must review, request changes if desired and approve. Subsequently, Hey Digital delivers the Video or Short Video itself, which the Client must also review, request changes if desired and approve.
3.9 Differences for Landing Page Design. The approval and revision process for the Landing Page Design follows the same procedure as for any other Deliverable (as outlined in sections 3.5-3.7 of these Terms of Service), with the exception that it occurs in two stages. First, Hey Digital delivers the copy and initial design draft as a Deliverable, which the Client must review, request changes if desired and approve. Subsequently, Hey Digital delivers the Landing Page Design’s design file in Figma (or other platform used by Hey Digital), which the Client must also review, request changes if desired and approve.
3.10 Conditions of timeframe. The delivery timeframes specified in the Agreement are subject to the following conditions:
(a) the timeframes exclude weekends, meaning that any time falling on Saturday and Sunday is not counted (for example – if the timeframe is 48 hours and the Client sends request on Friday 11:00 AM, then the delivery is done latest by Tuesday 11:00 AM);

3.11 Amendments after approval. After approval by the Client, Hey Digital is not obligated to redo or modify any Deliverables, unless the Client submits a new Request for such task.
3.12 Changing the Package. The Client may change their selected Package at any time during the term of the Agreement. In this case, the Services and features associated with the previous Package will expire immediately, and the Services and features of the new Package will commence immediately upon payment of the applicable Fee. If the new Package is priced higher than the previous one, the Client will be charged the difference in Fee. However, if the new Package is less expensive, the Fee already paid for the remaining Subscription Period of the more expensive and cancelled Package will be credited to the Client’s the next invoice, or if the Services are not continued, the Client will not be entitled to any refund.

(d) the Recipient may disclose such of the Confidential Information as the Recipient is required to do so by law or pursuant to a court order, to such parties and to such extent that the Recipient is so required to make such disclosure provided that the Recipient shall notify the Disclosing Party as soon as possible prior to making any such disclosure and shall give to the Disclosing Party the opportunity to apply for appropriate protective relief in respect of such Confidential Information;

PERSONAL DATA PROCESSING
16.1 Applicability. The Parties agree that:
(a) The provisions given in this paragraph 16 of these Terms of Service (“Procedure”) apply only if and when the Client makes personal data of the Client’s representatives (“Personal Data”) accessible to Hey Digital and where the Client is considered as a data controller and Hey Digital as a data processor of such Personal Data in the meaning of the Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council (“GDPR”), as specified in more detail in this Procedure. This would be the case where Hey Digital processes such Personal Data solely for the purpose of providing Services to the Client (see also section 16.5 of these Terms of Service below).
(b) This Procedure does not apply to processing of Personal Data (and other personal data) which Hey Digital processes as a controller within the meaning of the GDPR as is described in the Privacy Policy.
(c) This Procedure also does not apply to processing of personal data of Client’s customers since as part of the Services Hey Digital does usually access and process Client’s customers personal data.
(d) In any other case where there should be a controller-processor relationship between the Parties pursuant to the GDPR which is not covered in section 16.1(a) of these Terms of Services, then the Parties shall negotiate and enter into a separate data processing agreement.
16.2 Obligations of Hey Digital. Where Hey Digital acts as a processor of Personal Data, as stipulated in section 16.1(a) of these Terms of Service, Hey Digital agrees with the following and warrants that:
(a) Hey Digital shall process the Personal Data only on behalf of the Client, and in accordance with the instructions given by the Client and in the Procedure, including with regard to transfers of the Personal Data to a third country or an international organisation, unless required to do so by law to which Hey Digital is subject to. In such a case Hey Digital shall inform the Client of that legal requirement before processing, unless that law prohibits such information on important grounds of public interest;
(b) no circumstances occur that hinder or exclude Hey Digital’s ability to follow the instructions given by the Client or obligations deriving from the Procedure;
(c) Hey Digital ensures that persons authorised to process the Personal Data have committed themselves to confidentiality;
(d) Hey Digital takes all measures required pursuant to GDPR article 32 and Hey Digital has implemented technical and organisational security measures for protecting the Personal Data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to the Personal Data transmitted, especially when processing includes transmitting data using network, and against any other illegal processing;
(e) taking into account the nature of the processing, Hey Digital assists the Client by appropriate technical and organisational measures, insofar as this is possible, if the Client responds to requests related to exercising the data subject’s rights laid down in GDPR Chapter III;
(f) Hey Digital assists the Client in ensuring compliance with GDPR articles 32 to 36 taking into account the nature of processing and the information available to Hey Digital;
(g) if requested, Hey Digital makes available information necessary to demonstrate compliance with the obligations laid down in GDPR article 28 and allows audit regarding the means, procedure and location of processing the Personal Data which shall be conducted by an inspection body agreed by the Parties (and if required, such choice is conciliated with the supervisory authority) which consists of independent members who have the required professional skills and who are bound by requirement of confidentiality. Any audit and its terms, including its timing and means, shall be agreed between the Parties beforehand. Such audit may not interfere with the everyday business of Hey Digital and shall take place not sooner than 60 (sixty) calendar days before the Client has requested the audit. Costs related to the audit shall be borne by the Client. Hey Digital shall notify the Client immediately if, in its opinion, instruction to carry out audit infringes the law; and
(h) Hey Digital shall correctly and within reasonable time address all requests made by the Client which relate to the processing of the Personal Data and shall comply with all instructions of supervisory authority as regards to processing of the Personal Data.
16.3 Categories of Personal Data. The Client may make any Personal Data available to Hey Digital under this Procedure as chosen by the Client. However, typically the Personal Data shall include the following – the Client’s representatives’ Personal Data like contact data (first and last name, e-mail, telephone number), work position, employer’s name, preferred language, photo and possibly other Personal Data made available by the Client.
16.4 Retainment of Personal Data. Hey Digital shall retain the Personal Data until the termination of the Agreement. After that, Hey Digital deletes all the Personal Data and existing copies (or anonymises it), unless law requires storage of the Personal Data.
16.5 Purpose and nature of processing. The purpose of processing the Personal Data is the provision of Services to the Client. The nature of processing the Personal Data includes any operation or sets of operations which are necessary to perform on the Personal Data or on sets of the Personal Data for the purpose of processing the Personal Data (as provided in the previous sentence).
16.6 Sub-processors. The Parties agree that Hey Digital may engage for processing the Personal Data any sub-processors as described in Hey Digital’s Privacy Policy paragraph 5 . The Client gives a general authorisation to Hey Digital to engage new sub-processors at Hey Digital’s discretion. If Hey Digital wishes to engage a new sub-processor, Hey Digital shall update the Privacy Policy. The Client has a right to submit an objection within two (2) weeks of updating of the Privacy Policy. If such objection is submitted, the Client must stop making the Personal Data available to Hey Digital and the performance of the Agreement is suspended. In such case the Parties shall enter into negotiations for accepting the new sub-processor. If an agreement is not reached, either Party has the right to terminate the Agreement under sections 14.2 or 14.3 of these Terms of Service (respectively). Hey Digital shall conclude contracts with sub-processors which provide sufficient guarantees to implement appropriate technical and organisational measures in such a manner that the processing will meet the requirements of applicable law.
