RECITALS

• In certain cases, Advice Global needs to spread the number of recepients of its marketing campaigns; as a consequence, Advice Global allows third parties that operate in the sector of digital marketing, among those there is the Affiliate, to adhere to a partnership agreement that offers a variable remuneration on the basis of the services offered by the affiliates to Advice Global aimed at promoting the marketing campaigns run by Advice Global with the purpose to spread the number of recepients of such campaigns (“Services”).
